*Origin Spirit Art* VS Moon-Covering Sect Charm Art (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Please follow, vote, and tip!)

As for Xiang Zhili, Yellow Maple Valley's hidden old monster and a Divine Transformation cultivator, Fang Yu paid him no attention at all, not even sparing him a glance.

He merely nodded and blinked at Nie Ying in the group from time to time. After all, they were both Lei Wanhe's disciples.

Although Nie Ying was also Lei Wanhe's disciple, she had not joined Yellow Maple Valley through the Ascension Conference. Nor did she possess an unusual spirit root or a heavenly spirit root, so she did not receive a Foundation Establishment Pill and would have to fight for one herself.

The main reason was that Lei Wanhe had not been in Yellow Maple Valley for the past few years. Nie Ying was also confident in her own strength, so she decided to take the risk.

Fang Yu naturally did not try to stop her. He knew that not only would Nie Ying make it out, but she would also become a Core Formation cultivator in the future.

It had to be said that Lei Wanhe's lineage truly had exceptional luck and fortune. Nie Ying and the Murong brothers would both form golden cores in the future and become Core Formation cultivators.

Together with Lei Wanhe himself, a late Core Formation cultivator, that made four Core Formation cultivators in one lineage. In the absence of Nascent Soul cultivators, he could practically have the final say throughout Yellow Maple Valley.

Such luck was truly enviable, far better than that of Li Huayuan's lineage.

As for Han Li, he no longer truly counted as part of Li Huayuan's lineage. He was no longer in Yellow Maple Valley, after all.

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. Just as Fang Yu thought of the fate of Li Huayuan's lineage, Sect Master Zhong and the others, having finished their lecture and distributed spirit stones and magic artifacts, came over with Li Huayuan.

Li Huayuan looked to be in his fifties or sixties. His hair was somewhat gray, but he was full of vigor and ruddy-faced. His tiger-like eyes carried an imposing authority even without anger, making it obvious at a glance that he was a man of fierce temperament.

"Junior Fang Yu, disciple of Lei Wanhe, pays respects to Uncle Li!"

The moment Li Huayuan appeared, Fang Yu cupped his hands and bowed.

"So it is Nephew Fang. You established your foundation so quickly. Good, very good. If Senior Brother Lei were in the sect, he would surely be overjoyed."

After smiling and offering a few words of encouragement, Li Huayuan turned his tiger eyes toward the Qi Refinement disciples participating in the Blood Trial.

By the rules, no more than twenty-five people could enter the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land. This time, their forces could be said to be strong and well-equipped.

There were as many as five or six disciples at the peak of the thirteenth layer alone.

Most of the remaining disciples were at the twelfth layer. There were also three cannon fodder disciples at the eleventh layer of Qi Refinement.

However, one of those three was hiding his strength, another was an old monster who had lived for a thousand years, and only the last, an inexperienced youth, was genuine cannon fodder.

Fang Yu did not meddle in their affairs. Everyone had their own fortune.

Before long, the group departed atop Li Huayuan's Silver-Armored Horned Python. Standing on its back, Fang Yu could not help recalling the Unicorn Viper Fang Han had mentioned. The two really did look somewhat alike. He wondered whether the Silver-Armored Horned Python's gallbladder would be of any help in cultivating the body.

However, he had already reached the eighth stage of physical cultivation, the Divine Courage Realm. The next step was the Spirit Communication Realm, so he needed to devote more energy to tempering his mind.

Of course, he could not neglect his body either. Without sufficient qi and blood to support it, the mind would become listless. Forget the Divine Ability Secret Realm—even the Spirit Communication Realm and Divine Transformation Realm would be beyond reach.

The Silver-Armored Horned Python was extremely fast, reaching the meeting place arranged with the other immortal sects in only two days. Only after all seven sects had gathered would they depart together to open the forbidden land. No single sect could enter it alone.

The appointed time was the following morning.

But since the forbidden land lay within Jian Prefecture, Yellow Maple Valley could be considered half a host. Thus, the sect usually arrived a day early to wait on this mountain for the other sects.

The disciples were free to move about now. Tomorrow, they would have to line up together and wait.

Fang Yu found a quiet place to cultivate alone, without asking anything at all.

After all, the person he was waiting for had not arrived yet. It was fine to cultivate a little while he had the time. Seeing this, Sect Master Zhong, Nie Ying, and the others did not disturb him.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the second day arrived. The Clear Void Sect was the first to come.

Just as Fang Yu remembered, Fuyunzi, the Clear Void Sect's Core Formation cultivator, Li Huayuan, and Qiong Old Monster of the Moon-Covering Sect made a wager.

Fang Yu had no interest in it whatsoever. Like the male disciples of Yellow Maple Valley and the Clear Void Sect, his gaze swept across the many beautiful female disciples of the Moon-Covering Sect.

Yet unlike the others, there was not the slightest hint of heat in Fang Yu's eyes. He paid no heed to the flirtatious glances cast by the Moon-Covering Sect's female disciples, as though he were instead searching for something.

This made Rainbow Robed Fairy, the Moon-Covering Sect's Core Formation cultivator leading the group, grow wary. With a sway of her slender waist, she appeared about ten feet in front of Fang Yu, completely blocking his view.

What entered his sight was a peerless beauty, delicate and alluring. A faint fragrance, refreshing yet intoxicating, lingered around his nose, but it still had no effect on Fang Yu. He merely returned the greeting with a calm salute.

"Disciple Fang Yu of Yellow Maple Valley, under Lei Wanhe, pays respects to Uncle."

"So you are Senior Brother Lei's disciple. No wonder you are so outstanding—handsome and extraordinary. Who knows how many female disciples you will charm to death? What is it? Did you take a liking to one of our Moon-Covering Sect's female disciples just now? Do you need Uncle to help bring you together?"

After hearing Fang Yu's introduction, Rainbow Robed Fairy let out a coquettish laugh, her body trembling like a flower swaying in the wind, captivating the soul.

The mature charm she displayed made many young male disciples from the three sects stare so hard their eyes nearly popped out, practically drooling.

Yet it had no effect whatsoever on Fang Yu, not because his will was particularly firm.

Rather, the instant Rainbow Robed Fairy appeared and employed her charm arts, he secretly activated the Origin Spirit Art to resist her. His mind remained filled with an unprecedentedly clear spiritual aura, and he could use this opportunity to temper his mental strength.

An ordinary cultivator who had only just established their foundation could not withstand the charm arts of a beautiful Core Formation cultivator proficient in such techniques.

Thus, when Rainbow Robed Fairy saw the clarity in his bright, transparent eyes, her willow brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed through her affectionate gaze.

It was the first time her charm arts had failed to work on a Foundation Establishment cultivator, much less one who had only just established his foundation.

This truly shocked her, even seeming unbelievable. Looking at Fang Yu, who remained silent as though he were pondering something, she coquettishly added again.

"Senior Brother Lei truly knows how to teach his disciples. This little sister admires him greatly. Nephew, there is no need to be shy. Just speak up, and Uncle will personally make the decision for you."

"Fellow Daoist Rainbow Robed, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to lure away Senior Brother Lei's disciple?"

Unfortunately, Fang Yu had not tempered his mind for long before Li Huayuan, who had just finished lecturing the Yellow Maple Valley disciples, interrupted him.

If Rainbow Robed Fairy truly lured Fang Yu away, Li Huayuan would be unable to explain himself to either Yellow Maple Valley or Lei Wanhe. Naturally, his expression was rather unpleasant.

"What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Li? Our Moon-Covering Sect's dual cultivation arts are greatly beneficial to cultivation. Since Nephew Fang is interested, how could this little sister fail to fulfill his wishes?"
