“Alas…”
Fang Yu sighed and fell back to the ground.
He crouched down and picked up the blackened scimitar, wanting to examine it.
At a touch, the charred blade shattered into a pile of black ash.
This indicates that the curved blade, both inside and out, has been burned to pieces, leaving no valuable material behind.
Based on previous observations, the quality of this curved blade is at least top-grade.
In just two seconds, the curved sword was burned to this state… Even the fires of the Earth couldn’t do this before.
To be honest, the power of the Fire Jade… exceeded Fang Yu’s expectations.
Fang Yu raised his head and looked at the black altar in front of him.
He stepped forward, released his divine sense, and enveloped one of the jars.
Then, cast the Spirit Summoning Technique again!
A halo slowly descended from the top of the black altar.
As the halo passed through the inner material and red talisman paper, it emitted an even more dazzling light.
Then, the halo turned into a glimmer and flashed towards the sky.
Found it again!
Fang Yu closed his eyes and, following the divine consciousness that transformed into a halo of light, swiftly flashed past countless scenes.
Quickly, the consciousness arrived at a dark place.
It seems to be a swamp.
Through the vision of his divine consciousness, Fang Yu could only see a pitch-black, viscous mud below.
The pitch-black liquid inside the black tank… could this be the mud from within this swamp?
Fang Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, consciousness directly plunged into the swamp, losing sight.
Fang Yu opened his eyes and locked onto the location of this swamp.
It can be confirmed that the pitch-black liquid within the Black Altar originates from that swamp.
But this result… Fang Yu was still unsatisfied.
Whether this place or the newly discovered swamp, are just tools used to control the mind.
The true mastermind, the one called “Soul Master,” has yet to be found.
“This black altar cloth, it must have the aura of a soul master’s…”
Fang Yu faced the black altar again, and once more performed the Soul Tracking technique.
But this time, the spirit summoning technique’s tracking location was still that swamp.
Fang Yu deliberately performed the soul-chasing technique towards the red talisman pasted on the front of the tablet, but he couldn’t find any trace that could be tracked.
This is the end of the trail.
“Damn it, if that half-spirit general hadn’t died just now… I could have at least gotten some information from him.” Fang Yu stood on the spot, somewhat annoyed.
However, finding these black pots at least solves the immediate problem.
Fang Yu’s figure flashed, leaving the warehouse and flying into the air.
He ascended to a height of over two hundred meters and, facing the cargo hold directly below, extended his right palm.
His entire right arm was glowing with a golden light.
A powerful force of qi condensed in his right palm.
“Boom!”
Three seconds later, true energy surged out and plunged down toward the cargo hold!
“Boom…”
A warehouse covering hundreds of square meters collapsed instantly!
The black orbs within, burst without a doubt!
The ground shaking lasted for almost ten seconds.
Fang Yu looked down at the ground, which had been blasted into a massive crater, and raised his right hand, activating the Kong Ling ring.
Whoosh!
One second later, Fang Yu disappeared in the air.
……
The car door opened, and Fang Yu sat back in the passenger seat.
He turned his head and looked at Luo Hao, who was still unconscious in the back row. He said to Zheng Ze: “Wake them both up.”
“…Okay.” Zheng Ze came back to his senses, placing his hands on both of their foreheads.
As a light flashed, both of their eyelids twitched.
After a moment, the two of them opened their eyes together.
Pan Yushan sat up straight first, looking down at his own hands, then around him, his expression excited.
“I, I’m finally back to normal!”
Pan Yushan was so excited that his face flushed and his body trembled.
Beside him, Luo Hao was also overwhelmed with excitement, unable to find the words.
“Do you all still remember what happened recently?” Fang Yu asked at that time.
Pan Yushan looked at Fang Yu in front of him, recalling what had happened before, and nodded repeatedly.
But after nodding, he felt it was inappropriate and hurriedly said, “Master Fang, although I’m aware of what I did before, I couldn’t control it…”
“Don’t worry, I understand this.” Fang Yu smiled slightly. “We won’t hold your past actions against you.”
But you must account for everything you did during the time you were being manipulated.
Pan Yushan and Luo Hao looked at each other, their eyes filled with apprehension.
Many things they’ve done recently have seriously violated the rules.
“You can stay silent, but I will put you all in jail tonight. You should know that Huai Xu sent me here.” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly as he spoke slowly.
“We said! We will definitely cooperate…”
At the sound of the word “prison,” both Pan Yushan and Luo Hao’s faces changed drastically, and they quickly declared their stance.
Fang Yu looked at Zheng Ze and said, “Write down everything they said. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go with you to see Huai Xu.”
“Understood, Master Fang,” Zheng Ze said.
……
Half an hour later, the sedan drove back to the Beidu Martial Arts Association’s clubhouse.
Zheng Ze took Pan Yushan and Luo Hao upstairs, while Fang Yu returned to No. 101 in Beidu.
It is almost nine o’clock in the evening.
Fang Yu didn’t choose to return to the bamboo house, but instead came to the scripture library, a place specifically used for storing books.
The Tibetan scripture repository has five floors, each housing a vast collection of books.
These books were collected by Fang Yu along the way. Besides various spell manuals, there are also many out-of-print ancient books, reference books, and even some…
Fang Yu stood on the first floor, looking at the large number of books around him, feeling a little headache.
“Little wind chime, come out.” Fang Yu spoke.
Someone replied.
Fang Yu shouted again.
“What are you doing…someone’s sleeping beauty sleep here, it’s so noisy.” Xiaofengling appeared from behind Fangyu.
Fang Yu was increasingly accustomed to Xiaofengling’s gradual transformation towards becoming a true human.
“Gather all the secret manuals related to souls and spirits, and give them to me.” Fang Yu said.
Xiaofengling looked reluctant, but seeing the coldness on Fangyu’s face, she could only comply.
“By the way, find a few more books on controlling magical artifacts.” Fang Yu said.
“Understood.” Xiaofengling took a deep breath and vanished before Fangyu.
Fang Yu then came to the top floor of the scripture pavilion.
A study hut was built here, specifically for rest and reading.
Fang Yu sat down at a wooden table, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the stars in the night sky.
Then, he closed his eyes and looked inward.
At the dantian, dragon and phoenix interweave, symbolizing the fiery lotus of the lihuo jade, still burning.
And the Heavenly Firmament Halberd transformed into a wisp of gas, just like Xuanran Qi, quietly residing in one corner of Fang Yu’s meridians.
How could he completely control them? Or, make them understand the true extent of his power?” Fang Yu pondered.
Fang Yu wanted to prevent such a situation as tonight’s encounter with Tiegu from happening again.
If these artifacts were to fly out and protect their owner every time… Fang Yu might never be able to feel the joy of battle again.
After some thought, Fang Yu directly used his divine sense to enter the Heavenly Pinnacle Sacred Halberd.
“Master, good evening.” A blurry figure of the spirit appeared before Fang Yu.
“I want to talk to you about what happened this evening,” Fang Yu said.
“Good,” the spirit replied.
“From now on, you are not allowed to leave my body without my permission.” Fang Yu said.
“After acknowledging my master, I will only obey your commands and no other.” The artifact spirit replied.
“Why did you run out by yourself tonight?” Fang Yu asked.
“Oh… that’s not something my consciousness can decide. When the master is in danger of life, the Sky Piercer will subconsciously protect him.” The spirit replied.
“But I didn’t encounter any life danger,” Fang Yu said.
“That’s because I haven’t been with my master long enough to understand his situation completely…” the spirit said.
“So, you won’t just pop out of nowhere once you know enough?” Fang Yu asked.
“Yes,” the spirit replied.
“That’s good,” Fang Yu was very satisfied with the spirit tool’s answer, and his divine sense left the Sky-Piercing Sacred Halberd.
A sentient weapon is just like a human.
Before they fully understand their master, they cannot tell if a strike before them would be fatal to him.
Therefore, they will choose to be protective at such times.
Once they understand Fang Yu’s abilities, this situation won’t happen again. Want to chat with more like-minded people about “The Strongest Qi Refinement Period in History”, discuss life, and find kindred spirits? ~
