Awesome! Is this the treatment of being a big shot's disciple?!

Previously, in the grand hall, Xu Wenfei had the honor of witnessing the ceremony.

However, Fang Hong was either with the many True Disciples or being led by Zhao Tianchen to chat with a group of Elders.

Xu Wenfei had no right and didn't dare to rashly step forward to offer congratulations.

Only after everyone dispersed did he approach.

"Congratulations, Mr. Fang, on becoming Elder Zhao's disciple."

Xu Wenfei was dressed formally, but his face was currently filled with a fawning, flattering smile.

"You're too kind. Don't call me Mr. You are?"

Fang Hong looked at him, a little confused.

"Oh, I am Xu Wenfei. I was busy with affairs before and couldn't get away, so I couldn't welcome you in time. I apologize for the neglect, Mr. Fang."

"I hope Mr. Fang can forgive me."

Xu Wenfei replied with a respectful smile.

Fang Hong's eyebrows immediately shot up as he looked at Xu Wenfei's respectful attitude and flattering smile.

He couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. No wonder he could become an Outer Sect Elder.

He was already calling him "Mr. Mr."

"Heh, Elder Xu, you're too polite. My opportunity to join the Star River Sect is thanks to Elder Xu's token. What are you saying?"

"Regardless, thank you, Mr. Fang, for your understanding."

"This is a piece of Golden Crystal Steel I obtained years ago. It's a top-grade material for forging weapons. I noticed you seem to be lacking a weapon, so this will be my congratulatory gift for your initiation today."

Xu Wenfei's hands vibrated with internal energy, and he held up a golden iron block the size of a basketball with a radiant glow.

"Ah, Elder Xu, you're too kind. I haven't thanked you yet, how can I accept your gift?"

Although he said this, Fang Hong directly took the golden iron block.

The moment it landed in his hands, Fang Hong's right hand suddenly felt heavy. Fortunately, as it sank, Fang Hong's arm muscles tightened.

He gripped the iron block tightly, stopping its downward momentum.

A look of surprise appeared on Fang Hong's face.

So heavy!

It's a treasure!

"Gifts must be exchanged. I see Mr. Fang has a powerful physique and must be quite strong. This item is extremely hard and heavy, so forging a weapon with it should be very suitable for you."

"Therefore, please accept it, Mr. Fang."

Seeing Xu Wenfei's pleading expression, Fang Hong roughly understood his intention.

He was worried that Fang Hong was still angry about not being welcomed earlier and would cause trouble for him in the future.

"Alright, since Elder Xu insists and his generosity is hard to refuse, I will accept it."

"Does Elder Xu have anything else to say?"

Fang Hong looked at Xu Wenfei. Xu Wenfei paused and was about to speak.

"Uh..."

"Since Elder Xu has nothing else, I'll be taking my leave."

With that, Fang Hong nodded his goodbyes and turned to leave.

He didn't pay attention to Xu Wenfei's earlier perfunctory attitude or disdain.

He certainly held no resentment towards Xu Wenfei.

However, if someone brought a gift to his door and he didn't accept it, wouldn't that be disrespecting them?

In fact, if he didn't accept it, Xu Wenfei would be even more uneasy and apprehensive.

Conversely, if he accepted the gift, Xu Wenfei would feel much more at ease.

So, whether for himself or for Xu Wenfei, he had to accept this gift.

As for the ulterior motive of flattery within this gift, Fang Hong completely ignored it.

He didn't resent Xu Wenfei, but he wasn't very interested in taking him on as a subordinate.

This world was ultimately one where martial power reigned supreme.

Having strong power was the most important and fundamental thing!

The reason why Xu Wenfei and many others schemed for power or other things was mostly because their progress in strength was too slow or had stagnated.

Naturally, they would pay more attention to other factors to secure their status, power, and resources.

But Fang Hong didn't need to scheme for these.

He only needed to cultivate and become strong quickly.

He would naturally possess all of this.

After bidding farewell to Xu Wenfei, Fang Hong, carrying the incredibly heavy Golden Crystal Steel, quickly hurried back to the wooden house on Eagle Beak Cliff in the back mountains.

Inside the wooden house, Zhao Tianchen had already been waiting for him for a long time.

"Hong'er, this is the Southern Dipper Body Shaping Method. It's the foremost body refinement technique of our Myriad Star Peak."

"These are Qi Replenishing Pills. They can quickly replenish qi and blood. Come find me for more after you've used them."

Zhao Tianchen handed Fang Hong a secret manual and seven or eight bottles of pills, saying, "With the Southern Dipper Body Shaping Method and the aid of pills for cultivation, it's enough for you to cultivate to the Organ Refinement realm."

"When the time comes, we'll prepare for the cultivation of the Star Body Forging Treasure Art."

Fang Hong quickly stepped forward to receive the manual and pills, his face full of excitement.

Awesome!

Is this what it feels like to be a 'rich second generation'?

Techniques, pills, everything is prepared for me.

I don't need to spend any more time and effort searching and plundering.

Indeed, my idea of revealing my talent was correct.

If I played the fool and took the path of a hidden master, who knows how much effort it would take to obtain these things.

A cultivation technique that can reach the Organ Refinement realm, and so many pills.

This time, I'm going to take off.

Fang Hong thought excitedly to himself.

"Don't worry, Master. I'll quickly cultivate to the Organ Refinement realm."

"It's just that Master needs to speed up the collection of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to supplement energy. Cultivating the Star Treasure Art will likely require a very vast amount of energy."

Hearing this, Zhao Tianchen shook his head and smiled.

"Don't worry about this matter. When it comes to heavenly materials and earthly treasures for energy, our Star River Sect lacks nothing."

"Hm?" Fang Hong was taken aback by this statement.

However, Zhao Tianchen didn't say anything further, only that Fang Hong would know when the time came.

"Oh, right. Your martial uncles and aunts gave you some gifts when they met you. Since they were a bit inconvenient to carry, I've already put them in your room."

"Remember to look at them later."

"But remember, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. You absolutely cannot slack off on your cultivation. You must know that only your own strength is the most important thing."

Zhao Tianchen earnestly instructed.

"I know, Master. Don't worry." Fang Hong nodded.

The Peak Master of Blazing Sun Peak, along with other Elders, even the True Disciples of each peak, and even Xu Wenfei in the end.

Why were they all so kind to him?

Even Xu Wenfei was so humble and accommodating, and even offered treasures as gifts.

It was all because of Zhao Tianchen!

It could be said that all the status and face he had today were because his master was Zhao Tianchen.

If he didn't strive for progress, all of this would eventually be nothing but a mirage.

Only by becoming stronger himself, by becoming strong enough, even stronger than Zhao Tianchen, would the source of all this transform into his own.

Seeing Fang Hong's relatively calm expression, as if he hadn't changed despite meeting many important figures today, Zhao Tianchen's eyes flashed with a look of satisfaction.

His disciple truly had excellent character.

Afterward, Zhao Tianchen gave Fang Hong a few more instructions before letting him return to his room.

Upon returning to his room, Fang Hong looked at the numerous treasures placed in his room.

His face instantly filled with surprise.

"Whoa, this is that exaggerated?"

"Is this what it feels like to be the disciple of a big shot!"

Following Fang Hong's gaze.

He saw heavenly materials and earthly treasures full of spiritual essence, emitting a faint spiritual light, ancient books, ancient paintings, and other items.

They were placed on the ground, one after another.

The room was filled with radiant light and a palpable aura of treasure!
