Fang Yu: Sister, I Need Your Help Again? (It's Tuesday—Please Keep Reading, Keep Reading, Keep Reading)

When Han Li produced so many spiritual herbs in one go, cultivators from all seven sects were utterly astonished. Looking back over the previous Blood Trials,

aside from the first few, there had been very few disciples capable of producing so many spiritual herbs. Nearly all of them had been at the peak of the thirteenth level of Qi Refinement, yet Han Li was only at the eleventh level—a cannon-fodder Qi Refinement disciple.

Not only had he emerged from the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land unscathed, he had also become the disciple who harvested the most spiritual herbs. It was truly shocking. Fuyunzi had even wanted to question him by force, but Li Huayuan stopped him.

Although Fang Yu was surprised, he said nothing. After the other sects departed, he returned to Yellow Maple Valley with Li Huayuan and the others.

After hearing Han Li's explanation about reaping the fisherman's gain, Nie Ying secretly sent Fang Yu a voice transmission.

"Senior Brother, I'm afraid Junior Brother Han didn't obtain so many spiritual herbs that easily. I saw him in Ring Mountain, where he killed a Spirit Beast Mountain disciple at the peak of the thirteenth level of Qi Refinement. He possessed not only a top-grade magic artifact, but also a talisman treasure."

"What, have you taken an interest in them, Junior Sister?"

Fang Yu smiled meaningfully and sent back a voice transmission.

"How could that be? This is Junior Brother Han's own opportunity. I'm merely envious. Besides, he is now Uncle Li's registered disciple. If anything happened to him, Uncle Li would certainly intervene."

Nie Ying gently shook her head, her beautiful eyes carrying a trace of envy.

"Good. It's good that you understand."

Fang Yu nodded slightly in approval.

"By the way, Junior Sister, do you know whether the sect has any books on formations?"

Fang Yu thought of something else and asked.

"Formation texts? Both the Heavenly Knowledge Pavilion and Sacred Peak Foothill Hall have them. Why are you asking about formations, Senior Brother? Don't tell me you want to become a formation master too?"

After thinking briefly, Nie Ying pressed him further.

"Heavenly Knowledge Pavilion and Sacred Peak Foothill Hall. I understand. Thank you, Junior Sister. I have no intention of becoming a formation master. I merely want to buy a set of formations for my cave abode, but I'm afraid of being cheated. This time, I want to consult some formation texts so I won't be swindled."

Fang Yu explained.

"I see. Then I wish Senior Brother finds a suitable formation soon."

At those words, relief appeared on Nie Ying's exquisitely beautiful face. She covered her lips and smiled.

"Then I'll accept your kind words, Junior Sister. You obtained eight spiritual herbs, so you should be able to receive a Foundation Establishment Pill as well. With your aptitude, Junior Sister, as long as you cultivate your foundational technique to the peak of the thirteenth level of Qi Refinement and then take the Foundation Establishment Pill, you should succeed in Foundation Establishment."

Fang Yu nodded in thanks.

Nie Ying possessed dual-attribute spiritual roots as well as a special physique. Her aptitude was second only to heavenly spiritual roots and mutated spiritual roots, placing her among the best in all of Yellow Maple Valley. Otherwise, she could not possibly have become a Core Formation cultivator in the future.

"I hope so."

Nie Ying sighed softly, seemingly not very confident.

"Mm."

Seeing this, Fang Yu said no more. He closed his eyes to rest, cultivating both the Origin Spirit Art and his immortal cultivation technique, striving to advance to the ninth level of the body-refining realm, the Spirit Communion Realm, as soon as possible.

As soon as he returned to Yellow Maple Valley, Fang Yu headed straight for the Heavenly Knowledge Pavilion and Sacred Peak Foothill Hall to investigate information related to formations. After spending half a month memorizing it all, he quietly left Yellow Maple Valley and headed for the Yuanwu Kingdom.

The Celestial Star Sect, one of that country's three great righteous-path sects, was renowned throughout Heavenly South's cultivation world for its formations.

Fang Yu's destination was not the Stardust Pavilion it operated in the marketplace, but Xin Ruyin in Golden Horse City.

He wondered whether Fang Qingxue had any way to resolve Xin Ruyin's Dragon Roar Physique problem.

At least, Fang Yu had no idea how to solve it.

But judging by the time, she had only recently left Fang Qingxue's courtyard. Would it be too much to seek her out again?

Still, it was rather fitting. At this time, Fang Qingxue probably, perhaps, maybe had not resumed her seclusion yet.

Following his memories, the moment Fang Yu entered Golden Horse City, he asked passersby about Clear Spring Teahouse. Then he revealed his identity as a Foundation Establishment cultivator and had the teahouse owner take him to Qi Yunxiao.

Qi Yunxiao was quite easy to fool. Fang Yu merely claimed that he was an old acquaintance of Xin Ruyin's master and had come to see whether he could resolve Xin Ruyin's Dragon Roar Physique. That was enough to fool him, and he eagerly led Fang Yu to where Xin Ruyin lived: a small mountain shrouded in mist.

Qi Yunxiao led Fang Yu familiarly into a passage, but its end was covered in mist. Then a voice came from within.

"Brother Qi, why have you brought someone else here?"

"Ru Yin, Senior Fang says he is an old acquaintance of your master. He came here specially after reaching Foundation Establishment to resolve your Dragon Roar Physique problem, so I brought him here. Could you let us in first?"

Qi Yunxiao spoke anxiously.

A long time after his words fell, the woman's voice sounded again.

"Since Senior is an old acquaintance of my master, please come in."

Once she finished speaking, all the mist and rosy light at the end of the passage vanished. Rather than rejoicing, Fang Yu moved closer to Qi Yunxiao, and the two nearly walked out of the passage shoulder to shoulder.

Then the view before them brightened, revealing a tranquil cluster of bamboo cottages.

At that moment, two women stood gracefully before the bamboo cottages: Xin Ruyin and the pretty maid at her side.

Xin Ruyin wore a blue dress. Her looks were not as good as those of the maid beside her, but her temperament was exceptionally outstanding—bright and captivating. One glance was enough to tell which was the young lady and which was the maid.

"Xin Ruyin greets Senior. May I ask when Senior became acquainted with my master? Why have I never heard my master mention you?"

Xin Ruyin and the maid beside her offered a respectful curtsy as she asked softly.

She completely ignored Qi Yunxiao's burning gaze.

"Nothing of the sort. I actually lied to Fellow Daoist Qi. I came here specifically to ask you to refine several sets of formations for me. As payment, this five-hundred-year Yellow Lotus Essence is yours. I hope it can temporarily suppress your Dragon Roar Physique."

Fang Yu spoke truthfully. Then, with a pat of his Storage Bag, he directly took out a jade box and handed it to Xin Ruyin.

Xin Ruyin, Qi Yunxiao, and the maid all changed expression drastically, shock filling their eyes. They could not understand how Fang Yu, someone they had never met before, knew so much.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. But may I ask why Senior knows so much about me?"

Xin Ruyin was somewhat flustered, yet she still forced herself to remain calm as she questioned him. Rather than looking at the jade box Fang Yu offered, she stared at his handsome and extraordinary face.

At the same time, a talisman silently appeared in her hand. It could directly activate the formations around the bamboo cottages, and it was also her life-saving talisman.

"That is my secret. However, as long as you agree, I can promise that I will do everything possible to resolve the trouble caused by the Dragon Roar Physique within your body."

Naturally, Fang Yu noticed Xin Ruyin's small movement, but he did not care. Instead, he smiled faintly and spoke with complete sincerity.
