Fang Yu: When Going Home, Naturally You Bring Local Specialties! (Please Keep Reading, Please Keep Reading, Please Keep Reading)
After Wu Feng left, Fang Yu turned his gaze to another rather familiar-looking pair, a man and a woman. His brow rose as their identities surfaced in his mind. He immediately cupped his hands in a slight salute and said with a smile, "So it's Senior Brother Chen and Junior Sister Chen! Might I ask what brings you two here?"
"Senior Brother Fang is too courteous. We merely heard that Senior Brother had encountered a small mishap. Now that you are all right, my younger sister and I shall take our leave first."
"Oh! Also, at the Ascension Conference last time, thank you, Senior Brother Fang, for showing mercy. Otherwise, whether my younger sister could have obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill would still have been uncertain."
The eldest son of the Chen Family also cupped his hands in return and offered his thanks. At the same time, he pointedly revealed Chen Qiaoqian's connection to Fang Yu, forcing Fang Yu to give Chen Qiaoqian another look and at least become familiar with her face. That way, the Chen Family could proceed with its next step.
However, when he saw Nie Ying walking forward, the eldest Chen brother felt that his sister Chen Qiaoqian had little hope.
Still, as long as neither of the other two families got her, that would be enough.
"So it was about that. Senior Brother Chen is too courteous. Junior Sister Nie Ying, the two Junior Brothers Murong, and I still have matters to attend to, so I won't see you two off any further."
Hearing this, Fang Yu withdrew his gaze from the slightly bashful Chen Qiaoqian and replied with a smile.
"No matter. Farewell."
At this, the eldest Chen brother sighed inwardly. He glanced at his sister Chen Qiaoqian, whose expression had dimmed considerably, and with most of his smile gone, cupped his hands in farewell.
After speaking, he gave Nie Ying and the two Murong brothers slight nods, then took out the Chen Family's inherited Silver Book Artifact and left with Chen Qiaoqian.
"This Chen Family artifact is rather interesting?"
Seeing this, Fang Yu chuckled with interest.
"The Chen Family is one of the sect's three great families. Their inherited top-grade artifacts, the Golden Brush and Silver Book, are renowned throughout the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world. It is said that the Chen Family's magic treasures, the Golden Brush and Silver Book, are also quite famous throughout the cultivation world. Relying on these two top-grade artifacts, Senior Brother Chen's strength among all the sect's Qi Refinement disciples is enough to rank in the top five, perhaps even the top three."
Hearing this, Nie Ying gave a radiant smile and explained unhurriedly.
"So that's how it is. This senior brother truly has been ignorant and poorly informed."
After hearing Nie Ying's words, Fang Yu showed a look of realization and nodded.
"I made Junior Sister and the two Junior Brothers worry. There is nothing wrong now."
"Senior Brother is too courteous. You two, why don't you come over and thank Senior Brother?"
Nie Ying gave a proper salute, then turned her beautiful eyes toward the uneasy-looking Murong brothers in the distance and instructed them with parted lips.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Fang."
Before her words had even faded, the two Murong brothers hurriedly saluted and spoke in unison.
"All right, it's over now. But do not be so impulsive again in the future. Otherwise, next time you may not be so lucky as to have me help you vent your anger."
Fang Yu's expression turned stern as he admonished the two.
"Yes, we understand."
Hearing this, the Murong brothers' round heads bobbed repeatedly like chicks pecking grain. They had never expected the matter to grow so serious.
Even the sect leader and all the stewards had been alerted, and that surnamed Lu had nearly been beaten to death by their senior brother.
"All right, treat this as a lesson. I still have something to do and need to go out for a while. You two should return with Junior Sister Nie Ying and cultivate properly. Until you reach the twelfth layer of Qi Refinement, you are not permitted to leave seclusion."
Only then did Fang Yu reveal a satisfied expression and continue instructing them.
"Take care, Senior Brother!"
After hearing Fang Yu's words, neither Nie Ying nor the Murong brothers asked what he was going out for. They merely nodded.
"Hehe! I'm only making a trip to the market. It's nothing."
Fang Yu chuckled, unconcerned.
Then he took out the Green Leaf Artifact and headed toward the market outside Yellow Maple Valley.
"Let's go! Remember Senior Brother Fang's instructions."
Watching Fang Yu depart, Nie Ying withdrew her gaze, which rippled with an unusual glimmer, and reminded the Murong brothers.
Yellow Maple Valley's market was built on the northeastern edge of the Grand Peak Mountains, so after flying for a little over half an hour, Fang Yu arrived at his destination.
By the customary rules of the cultivation world, cultivators were not allowed to fly through the air within five li of a market. Thus, after landing, Fang Yu changed his clothes and altered his appearance somewhat.
Since he was going back, naturally he had to bring back some local specialties.
Storage bags were naturally his first choice. There was no helping it—he had never expected that Yellow Maple Valley's method for refining storage bags could only be viewed and learned by those who had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Of course, most Foundation Establishment cultivators had not the slightest interest in the method of refining storage bags.
After all, they were not rare treasures.
Even a storage bag with a hundredfold capacity could be bought for only ten spirit stones.
Therefore, if Fang Yu wanted to obtain the method for refining storage bags, he would have to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm first.
So, he planned to see whether he could purchase the storage bag refining method at Yellow Maple Valley's market.
Failing that, he could buy some storage bags and bring them back to the Fang Family for Fang Qingxue to study, to see whether they could be improved so that those in the Body Realm could use them.
In any case, he could not use them right now without drawing upon the true essence and mana within his body.
This was an enormous source of wealth!
After all, compared to the Void Hundred Treasures Pouch of the Eternal Life World and Dao artifacts that claimed their own space, storage bags were simply far too easy to obtain.
Thus, they could be exchanged for a great quantity of cultivation resources for training.
Just think of Fang Han—hadn't he grown so quickly in the early stages because of the World Tree, the land of the five elements, and Pure Yang Pills?
Although storage bags and the Mortal World's resources could not compare to the World Tree, they were enough to support Fang Yu's early cultivation needs.
Of course, aside from storage bags, the Mortal World had other worthwhile things as well.
For instance, artifacts and talismans could both be improved so that those in the Body Realm could use them.
Of course, the The Great Primordial World also had artifacts and talismanic charms that those in the Body Realm could use.
But he had to give it a try!
What Fang Yu valued most, however, was storage bags. For the The Great Primordial World, they were simply too useful.
With such thoughts in mind, Fang Yu soon arrived at Yellow Maple Valley's market.
In truth, this so-called market consisted of only a single street running north to south. At its southern end stood several dozen buildings of varying sizes. Some were tall, some short; some were multi-story structures, while others were merely small houses. They were extremely uneven and disorderly.
These were all Yellow Maple Valley properties, but less than half were still personally managed by Yellow Maple Valley disciples. The greater half had been rented out to cultivation families and independent cultivators who did business here year-round.
Most were shops selling materials, talismans, and artifacts. There was also a Five Elements Bookstore specializing in beginner cultivation manuals, as well as two restaurants and inns for people's food, lodging, and daily needs.
The entire market was not even as large as a single Fang Family residence. It could even be called pitifully small, greatly dampening Fang Yu's interest.
Still, he entered and began wandering in and out of the various market shops, stopping here and there to buy the things he needed.
Especially storage bags—he did not buy them all from one shop, but divided his purchases among several. Otherwise, it would truly attract attention.
Though he did not care much, it could still bring trouble in the end.
