In the courtyard.

The contents of the "Sun and Moon Divine Art Cultivation Method" appeared in Fang Yu's mind, Qi and Blood circulated slowly in his body according to the Cultivation Method.

This Sun and Moon Divine Skill was created by Xiao Riyue, the founding ancestor of the Great Dragon Clan. It is said that he used this skill to advance to the level of a Grandmaster, thus establishing the Great Dragon Clan's three-hundred-year foundation.

Now, this Cultivation Method, like those of other Cultivation Method Aristocratic Clan, is circulating in the martial arts world, and anyone who wants to learn about it can purchase it.

However, similarly, the first three levels of this Cultivation Method are easy to learn. Although the foundational part is different from the ' Leopard Fist ', there is not much difference in terms of tempering muscles, bones, and flesh. In other words, the Cultivation Method practiced when reaching the third level are different.

Those moves rely more on hand-foot coordination and don't offer much advantage over the Leopard Fist, which is derived from the "Mysterious Armor Prison-Suppressing Art".

While the techniques of martial arts are important, physical qualities are even more crucial—that is, the combined strength, speed, and defense. Without strength and a powerful body to support them, even the most exquisite techniques are just empty gestures.

Fang Yu is now Fifth Grade master, and his body has already been tempered twice. His progress in the first three levels can be described as extremely fast. In just one week, he mastered the first three levels of the "Sun and Moon Divine Art".

Starting from the fourth level, things become noticeably different. The area where the Qi and Qi and Blood are tempered is significantly more focused on the limbs, especially the meridians, flesh, and subtle muscles in the hands and feet that were not previously tempered.

Fang Yu soon discovered that his hands and feet had become more agile than before, and he could also perform many small movements. The strength of small movements such as bending his fingers and flicking his legs had been greatly improved.

This makes his Movement Method more agile and faster in short distances, a style that is distinctly different from the sweeping, direct, and forceful style of the "Mysterious Armor Prison-Suppressing Art".

"This Sun and Moon Divine Art seems to place more emphasis on speed and technique."

Fang Yu slowly finished his practice. He had basically grasped the essence of the "Sun and Moon Divine Art" and could use it as Cultivation Method Cultivation Method strengthen areas that other Cultivation Method could not reach.

Its core Cultivation Method remains the "Mysterious Armor Prison-Suppressing Art".

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. In addition to completing his daily homework, Fang Yu began to spend some time wandering around Long City to get to know the big city better.

Long City is very large, with 108 wards, and even a cursory walk through it would take a long time.

On this day, he strolled around Pingkang Ward again, from the Northern Quarter to the Central Quarter and then to the Southern Quarter. Although it was daytime, he often encountered some girls going out, mostly maids and servants going out to buy things, but there were also girls from the courtyards going out to enjoy the scenery.

While strolling around, Fang Yu would always encounter some pretty girls. If he found one who caught his eye, Fang Yu would note the lantern on her carriage and then go to the courtyard to have tea that evening.

"Finally, I've found it!"

Suddenly, Fang Yu moved closer to the side of the road and glanced at a carriage out of the corner of his eye. In his Divine Thought sense, he could see a young man of about eighteen or nineteen sitting inside. The aura emanating from him was that of the dragon meat that had been sold to him earlier.

Fang Yu's gaze fell on the lantern hanging on the carriage, which bore the words 'Qingyan'.

"Qingyan!" Fang Yu murmured, a smile appearing on his lips as he thought of the royal relatives in Long City. "So they're from the Marquis Qingyan's Residence!"

Marquis Qingyan was not particularly prominent among the imperial relatives, but he was indeed a member of the Xiao Household and was able to obtain the dragon meat allocated to members of the imperial clan.

The person selling this meat must be one of the young masters in the manor.

Fang Yu thought for a moment, then turned and went into a nearby alley. He found a secluded spot and came out in his previous identity as the girl who had gone to the ghost market.

He left the alley and headed towards Heavenly Water Immortal Abode. When he got nearby, he saw the carriage from before, parked not far from the gate.

Just as he was about to approach, he heard several shouts:

"Shuixian... Shuixian... It's me... Xiao Liulang... Your Liulang..."

Amidst the shouting, the young man stumbled out of the door, clearly pushed out, and then the door slammed shut.

Xiao Liulang shouted at the door again, and after a while, he angrily said "Return to the manor" to the coachman, lifted the curtain, and got into the carriage.

"Xiao Liulang, that's the Sixth Master of the Marquis's mansion, Xiao Ji!"

Fang Yu was now certain of the boy's identity. He watched the carriage approach, moved closer to the side of the road, and as the carriage passed, he lightly touched the ground with his foot and instantly slipped inside.

"Who..."

Seeing that there was suddenly another person in the carriage, Xiao Ji was about to make a move when he saw Fang Yu's face, and his voice immediately softened.

"It's you?"

Fang Yu sat down opposite him, smiling, and said, "Sixth Brother, I've been looking for you for ages!"

Xiao Ji glanced ahead instinctively, clearly afraid the driver might have overheard something amiss, and lowered his voice, saying, "Who are you? Since you know who I am, why do you dare to seek me out? What do you want?"

Fang Yu laughed and said, "Sixth Brother, there's no need to be nervous. I've come to you for the dragon meat!"

Xiao Ji visibly relaxed upon hearing this, and looked at Fang Yu, "Now that you've found me, you should know where that dragon meat came from. I don't have any left to sell you. You'd better leave quickly, and I'll pretend this never happened, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? Otherwise you're going to report me to the authorities?"

Fang Yu interrupted Xiao Ji, chuckling, "If the Imperial Clan Court finds out you've been illegally selling royal dragon meat, even if you're the son of Marquis Qingyan, you'll be punished. Not to mention you used that money to go to Heavenly Water Immortal Abode. By the way, does Marquis Qingyan know you went to Heavenly Water Immortal Abode?"

"You... you..." Xiao Ji's eyes widened as he stared intently at Fang Yu. "You dare! Selling dragon meat privately is wrong, but at most I'll be confined to a cell in the Imperial Clan Court for half a year. You, buying it privately, are beheaded."

"You're absolutely right, that's a capital offense!"

Fang Yu looked at Xiao Ji as he spoke, "So, I risked my life to come find you, all for the sake of buying a continuous supply of dragon meat."

"Impossible!" Xiao Ji immediately said, "Dragon meat is rationed, I don't have any extra dragon meat to sell you!"

"It's alright!" Fang Yu laughed. "If you don't have it, surely others do too. There must be plenty of spoiled brats like you. It doesn't necessarily have to be dragon meat. Meat from other unique Demon Beast from other aristocratic Aristocratic Clan is also acceptable. As long as you can get your hands on it, you certainly won't lack money."

Xiao Ji was slightly taken aback, "The others?"

Fang Yu nodded and said, "That's right, anything else will do, such as the unique Demon Beast meat of the Eight Great Aristocratic Clans. As long as you can get your hands on it, you can have as much silver as you want."

Fang Yu flipped his hand and slapped a thick stack of silver notes onto Xiao Ji's chest. "This is a deposit. Take it first. I'll be waiting for you at the Ghost Market on the fifteenth of each month. If you don't come, then I'll have to go to your residence to find you!"

"This, this..."

Before Xiao Ji could finish speaking, Fang Yu darted out of the carriage in a flash. Xiao Ji quickly lifted the curtain to look, only to see his back disappearing into the alleyway.

He took a deep breath, looked at the silver note in his hand, and his eyes flickered uncertainly.
