Night Dream, after Sun Yuan brought Fang Che home and explained the situation to Fang Qianyi, he left.

My disciple is naturally gifted, but lacks accumulation, so I must find some natural treasures for him.

Those Sect Leaders are too stingy, not even leaving some spiritual medicine or pills for my disciple.

Fang Qianyi was very interested in the unconscious girl her son had rescued. She arranged for her to stay in the side room and instructed Qiu Xue and Dong Mei to take good care of her.

Still not feeling at ease, she took some pills and personally administered them to Night Dream, using her blood to guide the medicine through her meridians.

She instructed Dong Mei to call for a doctor.

She personally took a snow-white towel and wiped Night Dream's face.

She couldn't help but smile, "My son has a good eye; this girl is indeed a great beauty."

Her eyes darted around, and after secretly checking that no one was around, she muttered to herself, "I'll check where this girl is injured to see how serious it is."

So, she examined her from top to bottom: head, face, neck, shoulders, chest, abdomen, buttocks, thighs...

She smiled so wide her mouth couldn't close, "Not bad, not bad, the chest isn't small, the buttocks are full, and she's still a virgin, hmm, hmm... good eye, good eye."

Suddenly, she coughed and said solemnly, "This child is seriously injured..."

A figure appeared at the door; it was Qiu Xue, carrying a bowl of medicine, "Miss, the medicine is ready."

"Oh, oh..."

Fang Qianyi coughed, "Take care of her carefully."

"Yes."

Fang Qianyi turned and left.

Neither of them noticed that Night Dream's face on the bed was slightly flushed.

And behind her delicate little ears, it was already completely red.

Night Dream finally woke up in the evening.

After a night, she recovered some vitality and forced herself to express her gratitude. Three days later, she finally had the strength to move a little, and her recovery accelerated.

Fang Che was constantly practicing his skills.

He now needed to practice many techniques, and every day was basically without any free time.

He was practicing the saber, spear, sword, and halberd techniques from the Limitless True Scripture.

As for all his skills from his previous life, he only selected some to practice, abandoning the rest.

Firstly, his starting point in his previous life was too low, and some of the techniques and moves were not presentable; secondly, after he reached a certain level in his previous life, the opportunities and techniques he obtained were too representative.

If he used them and was seen by his old rivals and old brothers from back then, they would inevitably have ideas.

So, he was as cautious as possible.

If he could avoid using them, he would.

If one day, even if you treat me as a One Heart Sect demon and kill me, I will have no complaints.

That's what he thought in his heart, and that's what he would do when the time came.

However, Fang Che naturally didn't want to really reach that point.

So now when he cultivated, the extent of his desperation was enough to leave anyone who saw it dumbfounded.

This didn't seem like practicing martial arts, but rather directly treating himself as a piece of raw iron to be forged.

Especially the Limitless True Scripture's teachings on sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, Fang Che scrutinized them even more carefully.

Thoroughly digesting them bit by bit.

These four martial arts were simply all-encompassing.

All of them were basic moves, but they were diverse and varied.

For example, in the 'sword' category, just drawing a sword was divided into many types.

Sword-drawing stance, left-waist sword-drawing stance, right-waist sword-drawing stance, hand-held sword-drawing stance, unsheathed sword-drawing stance, flying-sheath sword-drawing stance, left-carried sword-drawing stance, right...

Fang Che couldn't help but gasp.

Too comprehensive.

As for thrusting sword stance, slicing sword stance, sweeping sword stance, chopping sword stance, pointing sword stance; collapsing sword stance, intercepting sword stance, wiping sword stance, lifting sword stance...

Each stance was dozens of times more complex than the sword-drawing stance.

As for saber, spear, and halberd; it was all the same.

There were no specific moves, only various stances.

But Fang Che knew that this was the work of a true master! After becoming proficient in these, any saber or sword move would be readily available.

Even without needing specific moves.

Because you have already mastered the method of attacking in any situation.

"My understanding of these four weapons, the records here, are already at the pinnacle, right?"

These were all familiar to him, what he lacked was still proficiency.

But after understanding all of these, Sun Yuan's various techniques, various saber techniques, including Sun Yuan's famous 'Flying Sky Saber Technique', were all a natural progression for Fang Che.

Even the Yin Shen Gong's Blood Spirit Seven Styles could be understood by analogy.

Cultivating them was not difficult.

Then he focused on the Ice-Clear Spirit Platform and the Shape-Shifting Bone Art.

Having said that, cultivating so many techniques at the same time, even if Fang Che was several times more talented, he would definitely not be able to manage it all.

So, he got up at dawn and practiced the basic stances of saber, spear, sword, and halberd for two hours.

Followed by a breakfast of spirit beast meat and medicinal cuisine.

Then it was the Flying Sky Saber Technique and the Blood Spirit Seven Styles for two hours.

Lunch.

Then came the Flying Sky Saber Technique and Blood Spirit Seven Styles, two hours.

Dinner.

Then Shape-Shifting Bone Art and Ice-Clear Spirit Platform, two hours.

Late-night snack.

Then going to sleep while running the Limitless True Scripture.

In between, various elixirs were used in coordination.

And, all kinds of cultivation resources that could be obtained.

Another seven days passed.

Fang Che had already pushed his cultivation to the sixth level of Martial Warrior.

Advancing two levels in half a month, although they were small levels, such progress was already shocking enough.

But Fang Che still didn't feel satisfied at all. On the contrary, his heart was still full of crises, and he had no confidence in achieving the goal of 'First Place in the Southeast Path'.

Because he knew that large families were not short of geniuses.

And those geniuses, since birth, had experts using true essence to clear their meridians. Their cultivation methods were also top-notch; and their cultivation auxiliary materials were definitely not something he could compare with now.

What he could truly rely on, what could allow him to overtake on a curve, was actually only the Limitless True Scripture and his mastery of various weapons.

And... his unprecedented aptitude!

The word "effort" was his most important magic weapon for victory! So he really didn't dare to relax at all.

On this day, while Fang Che was practicing, he felt someone spying on him. He turned his head and saw a delicate and graceful figure at the door of the side room, walking out while supporting the door frame.

She looked indescribably weak and pitiful.

When she saw Fang Che looking over, she trembled like a frightened deer.

"She really is good-looking, with a natural, innocent charm."

Fang Che looked at her and commented in his heart. He had to admit that Night Dream had very distinctive features. She was beautiful, and her figure was good, although a little thin.

But the most distinctive feature was her eyes.

Her eyes were larger than those of ordinary women, round and extremely cute. This made her, who was already eighteen or nineteen years old, instantly seem not yet grown up when she opened her eyes—her big eyes opened wide, and a natural, innocent feeling rushed towards you.

Fang Che didn't speak, but looked at her coldly.

The woman shrank back, realizing that this new master was not easy to approach. She mustered her courage and said with a pale face, "Night Dream thanks young master for saving my life."

Fang Che nodded, put down the spear in his hand, and said lightly, "You already know your new name is Night Dream?"

"Yes."

Her voice was soft. Her big eyes flickered, a little dull, and a little pitiful.

"I have already bought you. From now on, you are my person, do you understand?"

"This servant understands."

"From now on, adhere to your duties, be diligent with your hands and feet, don't do what you shouldn't, don't think what you shouldn't, do you understand?"

"This servant understands."

"Wash yourself clean properly, recover quickly, this young master is short of servants."

"Yes."

Fang Che took out a Heavenly Vein Vermillion Fruit: "This is for you to eat, eat it quickly, from now on, you must not have any divided loyalties."

Must not have any divided loyalties? Night Dream's heart sank: Could it be that this fruit is a means for the demonic sect to control people? Poison?

But it had already been handed to her mouth, what to do? She hesitated in her heart, but did not show it. She reached out and took it: "Thank you, young master."

"Eat it quickly."

Fang Che looked at her with cold eyes.

Night Dream's heart sank even more.

He actually wants to watch me eat it.

Thinking of her mission, Night Dream took a deep breath, her eyes turned resolute, and she said, "Yes."

She put it directly into her mouth.

Watching Night Dream eat the fruit, Fang Che laughed inwardly, he could almost see through her psychology, and couldn't help but praise: This girl is a character.

He turned his head, ignored her, and concentrated on practicing his skills.

He was certain in his heart that this Night Dream was an informant sent by the Warden, lurking by his side to steal information and report his movements.

But in Fang Che's heart, this was one of his own people.

Although, they all regarded him as a disciple of a demon, a successor of a cult, a terrorist.

But, this was indeed a true like-minded person.

Therefore, Fang Che would never be stingy with giving some benefits.

Taking a step back, if this girl was really not someone from the Warden, then she would be Fang Che's person in the future, and cultivating a capable assistant was also what Fang Che needed.

Therefore, no matter which side this girl was from, as long as she was not from the One Heart Sect, she was destined to eat this benefit.

There were a total of nine Heavenly Vein Vermillion Fruits.

Fang Che ate three, Fang Qianyi ate three, Night Dream one, and there were two left, which Fang Che planned to leave for Fang Qingyun.

That cousin of his.

Fang Qingyun.

That honest fellow.

The Fang Family was really good to him and his mother, truly treating them as family, Fang Che could feel this.

Therefore, he would certainly not be stingy with his big cousin either.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Vein Vermillion Fruit was a treasure of heaven and earth, and because she had picked it herself, the skin was tight, allowing it to be preserved for a longer time.

But the current situation is that her big cousin needs to come back as soon as possible. She has no way to send it to the Martial Academy, and this secret cannot be explained.

I hope it's soon... otherwise, it would be a pity if the medicinal power is lost.

Night Dream consumed the Heavenly Vein Vermillion Fruit. Although she didn't know what it was, she could feel that since consuming the fruit, the injuries she had deliberately created within her internal organs were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a short time, they had all recovered! Moreover, her body was undergoing subtle changes.

That was... her aptitude was changing, and impurities were constantly being expelled! Some hidden injuries that had always existed due to practicing and fighting over the years had also completely disappeared.

Her entire being had directly undergone a transformation.

She couldn't help but be greatly surprised.

Not poison! It's actually such a peerless treasure!

Her true foundation and cultivation were not the weak and delicate girl image she was currently portraying, but a Martial Dao Innate Grandmaster at the peak, even one level higher than Fang Qianyi.

With just one step, she could enter the ranks of Martial Generals!

In this Azure Wave City, she was definitely a top expert.

It was only because of her innate constitution and cultivation technique that her concealment was strong, especially the cultivation technique she practiced, which could be called the number one technique in the world for hiding one's cultivation.

Even a royal-level expert would not be able to see through her true strength unless she took action.

She never expected that coming to Azure Wave City for this mission would almost expose her because of a fruit.

Shocked, she immediately returned to her room.

The impurities secreted from her body were already faintly emitting a foul odor.

She hurriedly took off her clothes, drew hot water, and began to bathe.

The more she washed, the more shocked she became.

As a martial artist, she was of course clearly aware of marrow cleansing.

If she wasn't mistaken, this was either the legendary Heavenly Vein Vermillion Fruit, or the legendary Marrow Cleansing Heavenly Fruit, or the Immortal Spirit Vermillion Fruit! Fang Che actually dared to give her such a good thing? This didn't make sense, did it?

Also... now, she was about to break through, but what should she do? For a moment, Night Dream was in a state of confusion.

After washing, she didn't dare to go out.

Because her inner breath was surging, she was afraid that even a fart could shake the barrier, leading to a breakthrough.

Just then, she heard Fang Che's impatient voice at the door, "Why aren't you done washing yet? So slow."

"I'll be done soon..." Night Dream said in a trembling voice.

This was not intentional trembling, but nervousness.

What to do, what to do? I'm going to be exposed...
