Giving You Some Resources for Cultivation!

A night passed.

Fang Qing and Elder Lu Zhihua spent the night outside Lingxu.

It was a peaceful night. No clueless demon beasts came to cause trouble.

Fang Qing had done fairly well that night. Ever since he had begun cultivating, his mind had grown increasingly vigorous. Even without sleep, he could remain fully alert.

Especially now that he had entered the middle region of Lingxu and harvested quite a few spiritual herbs. After refining them, his Bitter Sea had expanded further. Life Energy flowed abundantly, and streams of vital essence transformed into Divine Marks, which Fang Qing refined into his divine lamp, making it even more powerful.

He had progressed farther and farther in the Life Spring Realm, but to step into the next realm, the Divine Bridge Realm, he still needed to continuously absorb vast amounts of Life Energy.

That required both time and resources.

There seemed to be no rushing it.

Many elders of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven were now in the Divine Bridge Realm. They had cultivated for their entire lives and had only reached that realm, while some of the more useless elders were still in the Life Spring Realm even now.

Thus, Fang Qing's cultivation speed was already extremely fast.

"Another day has come. For the disciples, today will be even harder to endure than yesterday. After all, getting a good night's sleep last night was impossible."

Elder Lu Zhihua spoke as he rode a Divine Rainbow through the sky, his gaze sweeping over the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven disciples in the distance.

At this moment, some disciples wore exhausted expressions. Staying awake all night seemed to have been painful for them.

Of course, some disciples had rested quite well. With others standing guard for them, they naturally could sleep peacefully.

"There are still two days left. We may be able to find some more treasures here."

Fang Qing also rose into the air on a Divine Rainbow. His mind was connected to heaven and earth, allowing him to sense the distance at every moment, as though he were scanning every blade of grass and every tree.

Under such scrutiny, nothing could escape Fang Qing's perception. Even spiritual herbs hidden in secluded places were discovered and taken by him.

Of course, along the way, he encountered quite a few ferocious beasts. Some Ferocious Birds even swooped down from the sky to attack him, but Fang Qing killed them all.

By now, ordinary Ferocious Birds and beasts were no match for him. Their only purpose here was to provide him with materials.

And so, another two days passed amid treasure hunting and slaughtering demon beasts.

The three-day trial ended successfully.

Overall, this trial had been a success. Some disciples had found enough medicinal herbs to exchange for five bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid.

Other disciples spent three days gathering herbs and could barely exchange them for one bottle of Hundred Herb Liquid.

Naturally, some disciples had been unlucky enough to encounter demon beasts and suffer grievous injuries. Still, with Fang Qing and Elder Lu Zhihua's aid, they had not died on the spot.

That was understandable.

A trial was a trial. Even if a few disciples died, that was perfectly normal. As long as the losses did not reach twenty or thirty percent, it counted as a successful trial.

When Fang Qing and Elder Lu Zhihua brought the disciples back to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Elder Lu Zhihua gave Fang Qing thirty bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid.

Fang Qing glanced at Elder Lu Zhihua.

"When elders like us go out on assignments, we do not do so for nothing. After all, we are giving up our own cultivation time to help those disciples."

Elder Lu Zhihua smiled and had Fang Qing accept them.

"That is quite a thoughtful arrangement."

Fang Qing smiled slightly. Thirty bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid counted as some compensation.

Come to think of it, those disciples worked painstakingly to seek spiritual medicines and herbs. After three busy days, they earned only three to five bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid, while someone of Fang Qing's status received thirty bottles after three days.

That did not even include the many spiritual medicines and herbs Fang Qing himself had found, all of which he had directly consumed to raise his Cultivation Level.

This assignment had yielded quite decent gains.

Fang Qing returned to his residence and met Ye Fan and Pang Bo.

"Brother Fang, just a few days apart feels like several years have passed! Brother Fang is back!"

When Pang Bo saw Fang Qing arrive riding a Divine Light, he burst into laughter.

His mood was clearly excellent.

"Pang Bo, your mood is quite good after these three days apart. It seems your cultivation has gone well these past few days."

Fang Qing landed on the ground and looked at Pang Bo.

"Yes. These past few days, cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill has made me feel like my wisdom has improved greatly. It is as though I suddenly became enlightened. My speed in guiding vital essence has become faster and faster, and I have gone further and further in the Bitter Sea Realm."

Pang Bo was extremely excited.

His progress over the past three days had been obvious.

Greater wisdom and greater strength naturally thrilled him.

"Ye Fan, how about you?"

Fang Qing turned his gaze toward Ye Fan.

Ye Fan shook his head. "I still cannot sense the Wheel of Life. It is utterly silent there. But after cultivating each day, I feel refreshed and comfortable all over. My strength is increasing, and my speed is getting faster too."

Ye Fan spoke.

His strength had indeed continued to grow. He now seemed to possess the strength of three elephants, and his speed was even greater. A distance of several hundred meters could be crossed in a gust of wind.

"Brother Fang, do you have any way to help Ye Zi? You are now a great cultivator in the Life Spring Realm. Perhaps you can help him, so the three of us can embark on the path of cultivation together."

Pang Bo hesitated before speaking.

He knew his suggestion seemed somewhat foolish. Even Elder Wu Qingfeng could not help Ye Zi, but he always felt that Fang Qing, Brother Fang, was extremely mysterious. Perhaps he could treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

"Ye Fan possesses the legendary Ancient Desolate Sacred Body. If it matures, it should be incredibly powerful. But how exactly it is supposed to mature is a problem. I have a few bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid here. Take them and consume them, then see what effect they have. They may be of some help."

Hearing Pang Bo's words, Fang Qing gave Ye Fan three bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid.

Things like Hundred Herb Liquid were still rather precious to him, but his status made them easier for him to obtain. He did not mind giving away a few bottles in exchange for a favor. In the years to come, if Ye Fan returned to the Ancient Desolation Forbidden Zone and picked more Divine Fruits, perhaps this favor would allow Fang Qing to obtain other Nine Deaths Wonder Herbs.

There was nothing wrong with making an appropriate investment.

Especially since Fang Qing had just received thirty bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid from his assignment.

"This... isn't that inappropriate? I still cannot cultivate, so how can I take your Hundred Herb Liquid? This Hundred Herb Liquid is precious to you too, Brother Fang."

Ye Fan shook his head.

He did not want the Hundred Herb Liquid.

It was too precious.

"There is no need to be so polite. First, we are brothers. Second, this is also for the sake of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. If your Ancient Desolate Sacred Body truly rises, then Lingxu Grotto-Heaven will prosper as well."

Fang Qing smiled. "I do not think these three bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid will be enough. I will speak with Elder Wu Qingfeng and have some Hundred Herb Liquid specially allocated for your cultivation. We will see whether it works."

"Thank you!"

His relationship with Ye Fan was one of mutual advancement. Fang Qing felt that an early investment should not be a problem...
