The Frontier Wilderness

Xiao Ji looked at ' Tang Hulu ' with some confusion, "You don't even know about Flesh Field, how did you become Master?"

Fang Yu laughed and said, "Who told you I'm Master!"

"You're not Master!" Xiao Ji was slightly taken aback, looking at Fang Yu Yu's ordinary face and said, "You really don't know about the Flesh Field?"

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Xiao Ji thought for a moment and said, "The meat of all the Demon Beast in my Great Long Realm grows in Flesh Field. As the name suggests, these Flesh Field grow in the fields just like wheat and rice. However, the Flesh Field are not planted in the ground, but in granaries."

"Plant them in the granary?" Fang Yu asked doubtfully, "You mean keep the Demon Beast locked up in the granary?"

Xiao Ji shook his head and said, "It's not about raising Demon Beast, it's about turning Demon Beast into Flesh Field. As long as we supply them with a lot of food, the Flesh Field will continuously grow meat."

"Uh-huh!" Fang Yu still couldn't understand. "Isn't that still raising Demon Beast?"

"It's not farming!" Xiao Ji shook his head and said, "It's normal that you can't understand it since you've never seen Flesh Field. You'll understand once you see Flesh Field with your own eyes."

"Okay!" Fang Yu then said, "How about this, you take me to see the Flesh Field!"

"Uh!" Xiao Ji shook his head and said, "My family doesn't do business in Demon Beast meat, and we don't have Flesh Field!"

Fang Yu reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack of silver notes, slapping them in front of him. "If your family doesn't have them, others certainly do. Take me to see them!"

"This..." Xiao Ji looked at the silver note, hesitated for less than a second, then quickly put it away, saying, "I'll ask for you, but it can only be a regular Flesh Field. The top-tier Flesh Field of the major Aristocratic Clan are definitely out of the question."

"Anything ordinary will do!" Fang Yu nodded, then asked, "Do any of the Eight Great Aristocratic Clans have Supreme Grandmaster?"

Xiao Ji looked at Fang Yu and shook his head, saying, "No, at least not in the branch Lineage within Northern Long territory. At most, there's only one Grandmaster overseeing things here!"

Fang Yu astutely grasped the word 'branch'.

"Aren't the people within Northern Long territory the main family?"

Xiao Ji was slightly taken aback, as if he thought Fang Yu knew nothing about it, but after touching the silver in his pocket, he didn't care anymore.

"Of course, the main family is busy expanding their territory in the Savage Wilderness; those left behind are just responsible for logistics and supplying Demon Beast meat."

"Uh!" Fang Yu was confused. "What do you mean? Aren't the borders of Northern Long mostly small countries?"

Xiao Ji nodded and said, "Yes, most of these small countries were supported by the Eight Great Aristocratic Clans, or were directly established by these Aristocratic Clan. It's not just the Eight Great Aristocratic Clans of Northern Long; the monks in Southern Chan and the heads of the old Aristocratic Clan who migrated south back then are also mostly in the Border Wilderness. It's just that they are reclaiming land to the south, while we in Northern Long are mainly reclaiming land to the north."

"Why is it the main family that's reclaiming the land? Shouldn't it be the branch families doing the reclaiming while the main family stays in the country to enjoy their wealth?" Fang Yu asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ji looked Fang Yu up and down. "Enjoying life? How can you enjoy life without the support of a martial Grandmaster? You don't actually think those martial arts Grandmaster are just trained, do you?"

"Isn't that right?" Fang Yu asked doubtfully.

"Of course not!" Xiao Ji's voice rose a few octaves, then he realized his voice seemed a bit too loud. He looked around and then lowered his voice:

"To become Grandmaster, or even Supreme Grandmaster, one must constantly fight against those Demon Beast in the Savage Wilderness. Only then can one break through. Relying solely on training will at most make one Master. To advance further, one must go to the Border Wilderness to fight. The Master currently remaining within the territory are, well, all cowards who fear death. The truly powerful ones are all in the Border Wilderness."

Fang Yu somewhat agreed with Xiao Ji's words. After all, not everyone had a cheat like the Yuanchen Pearl. To advance, one had to fight. This was the same principle as cultivators breaking through bottlenecks by facing life and death.

"So, the current royal elites are all in the Border Wilderness?" Fang Yu asked.

Xiao Ji nodded and said, "That's right. My older brothers are all in the Border Wilderness now. I only stayed in Long City because I really don't have any martial arts talent."

Fang Yu thought for a moment, then asked, "Northern Long is already quite large, so why continue to expand its territory?"

Xiao Ji's gaze towards Fang Yu became even stranger, but the next moment he seemed to realize something.

"I understand. You're a girl, so you can't understand why we need to expand our territory. It's actually very simple: we need to seize more land to farm, grow more grain to cultivate Flesh Field, obtain more Demon Beast meat, and then cultivate more high-level martial artists."

Fang Yu was immediately confused again. "Expanding territory is for farming, farming is for food, food is for Flesh Field, and Flesh Field can cultivate more high-level martial artists? This Northern Long is so big, isn't there enough food?"

"Of course it's not enough!" Xiao Ji said, "Northern Long is known for its million-armored warriors. The amount of Demon Beast meat needed for so many warriors is enormous, and the Flesh Field also consume a huge amount of grain. Therefore, these fertile fields will never be enough."

This all led back to the Flesh Field, which only made Fang Yu Flesh Field curious about it.

"Alright, that's enough for now. Hurry up, I want to see what the Flesh Field looks like with my own eyes!"

"This can't be rushed unless you add another thousand taels!"

Is three days okay?

"Just add another two thousand taels!"

"Alright, then I'll give you another two thousand taels!"

Fang Yu wasn't too bothered by Xiao Ji's overstepping his bounds. As long as Xiao Ji could take him to see the Flesh Field as soon as possible, he wouldn't care about these trivial matters.

After agreeing on a meeting place three days later, they parted ways.

Fang Yu pondered as he walked out of the ghost market.

Indeed, if you want to understand this world, you still have to find someone like Xiao Ji, a member of the royal family. Even if his martial arts skills aren't great, his knowledge is definitely far superior to that of a thug like Xu Fang.

Although he doesn't quite understand what exactly the Flesh Field is all about, there's one thing he's basically figured out.

That is, the truly powerful forces in this world reside on the borders, while the territories within the borders, such as Northern Long and Southern Chan, are used for farming and growing crops.

As for how the grain turned into Demon Beast meat, he should understand after he visits the Flesh Field in a few days.

Furthermore, if the truly powerful individuals are all in the Border Wilderness, then the Cultivation Method circulating within this region are likely not the true core Cultivation Method.

After all, these Cultivation Method all have some flaws, or rather, the versions that are circulating now are all early versions of the Cultivation Method. The truly powerful and advanced Cultivation Method can only be learned in the Border Wilderness.

If that's the case, then he should consider going to the Border Wilderness to take a look.
