Wuyou then suggested several more candidates, almost all of whom were elders in the sect, but Fang Ruotang rejected them all, and her reasons for rejection were quite reasonable.

"No need. The sect is already short of people. If I call one or two more away, we'll be even busier. Besides, you really don't need to worry about me. I can enter the secret realm anytime! Although I put the entrance to the secret realm in the Trial Forest, I can enter from other places."

Fang Ruotang has no bottlenecks in learning any spells or formations, and the small mirror can collect all things, so she never learns things in a conventional way, climbing step by step.

Instead, she would learn whatever she needed, dabbling in things randomly.

"How about we invite your brother-in-law? His cultivation has improved very quickly."

"No, let's call my brother-in-law. My older sister will definitely come too. I've heard that the outside of the East is quite dangerous. I don't want my older sister to take any risks."

Wuyou looked at Fang Ruotang with complicated emotions, her unspoken words written all over her face.

Fang Ruotang laughed and hugged Wuyou's arm, swinging it back and forth, saying, "I know you're worried about me and want me to bring a few more people when I go out, so that if anything happens, they can protect me and buy me time to leave. But it's really not necessary. Where is this? This isn't Dayong. If we really encounter someone we can't handle, no one has the ability to cover my retreat and buy me time. Even if they did, I wouldn't let them sacrifice themselves."

Wuyou also understood this principle.

But she had a bit of a mortal mindset, thinking that if her master went out, he should take more people with him so that if trouble arose, the others could use sheer numbers to buy him more time.

"If you don't want to take them, how about you bring Bao'er and Ling'er? They're both at the Golden Core stage, they can come with you on your training trip!"

"Alright, alright, we've already brought Tao Su, so it doesn't matter if we bring two more." Fang Ruotang agreed, looking like she was afraid of Jin Wuyou.

Wuyou then laughed, but asked again, "Tao Su is going too? Her combat awareness is too poor; I'm afraid if she goes out with us..."

"It's alright, I'm here! She went to cook for me. Didn't she come to tell you about getting the spirit rice and spirit food?"

"They must be busy with something else and haven't told me yet. Let me prepare your travel things first. I also need to talk to the three of them about something. When are you planning to leave?"

"The sooner the better."

Fang Ruotang dared not delay, because she knew that once the news spread, the number of people who wanted to go out with her would increase from a few to dozens, as everyone wanted to be with her.

"Okay! I'll go prepare."

"Okay! I'm going back now."

Fang Ruotang didn't want to take the others with her, but there was one person she did want to take with her: Du Zhong. She went to find him with great enthusiasm, and the people from the Weapon Refining Sect were also there.

After Yin Yue reconstructed her physical body, some of the elders of the Weapon Refining Sect left, leaving only the sect leader and another elder. The sect leader was there for Yin Yue's body.

After all, Du Zhong was here, and the sect leader wasn't stupid. He asked Yin Yue to stay a while longer so that if she felt unwell later, she could immediately ask Du Zhong for help.

The other elder was even simpler; he stayed behind to collaborate with Fang Shengtang. Through intermittent efforts, they had already produced quite a few finished products, and even Fang Ruotang had received several magical artifacts.

There are pearl hair accessories, bracelets, and necklaces.

The designs were all drawn by Fang Shengtang himself, so Fang Ruotang liked them very much. Moreover, these pearls had a calming effect when worn, and they sold very well in the sect.

"Sect Master Fang, I was just about to come looking for you. The Mustard Seed Space has been crafted into the shape of a bracelet according to your requirements. Take a look and see if it's the style you wanted."

The Mustard Seed Space was given to the sect leader of the Weapon Refining Sect before the competition, so long ago that Fang Ruotang had forgotten about it. If she hadn't happened to run into it here, she wouldn't have remembered it even after leaving the sect.

"Okay, that's great! I'll come back to you next time." Fang Ruotang looked it over carefully, and then put it on her hand with satisfaction.

Sect leader Li Qiuheng was taken aback by Fang Ruotang's casual demeanor.

It's mainly because of his status. Anyone who asks him for help treats him like a precious treasure and acts all ingratiating.

Fang Ruotang shook her wrist and said to Du Zhong, "I want to go outside the East Gate. Will you come with me?"

"I think I shouldn't go! I..."

“No way! What a pity. I was going to give you all the spiritual herbs and medicines I picked along the way. You know I can deduce and can find out where there are good spiritual herbs and medicines growing right away.”

"...Not going is impossible! Sect Master Fang has personally spoken, how could I not go? When do we set off?"

"Let's do it tomorrow! Anyway, there's not much to pack. We have everything in our storage bags. Even if we're missing something, we can just buy it outside."

"Alright, alright! I'll notify my disciples to come over later and explain some things to them. They can leave together tomorrow."

During this period, Du Zhong served as a guest lecturer, and many disciples would come to him for advice. Moreover, those disciples who entered the secret realm and collected spiritual herbs and medicines would also seek his help.

"By the way, what about your disciple named Yiling?"

"Ask her if she wants to come along, and she can go together."

Since she already has three apprentices, Fang Ruotang doesn't think it's a problem to have one more. Besides, these apprentices take care of her when they go out, they're not little babies who need her to take care of them.

Li Qiuheng, who was listening nearby, knew that they were about to leave the sect to gain experience, so he took this opportunity to say goodbye.

"Alright! You're welcome to visit Tianyi Sect often in the future." Fang Ruotang didn't say much politeness to the master and disciple; she had already said what needed to be said.

Yin Yue no longer complained, and even joked that it was a blessing in disguise, as she was more beautiful than before.

Fang Shengtang's personality is such that she takes the initiative to interact with people, and she almost never fails to make a good start. She also successfully became friends with Yin Yue.

The next day, Fang Ruotang, like a bird about to be released, boarded the spirit boat with light steps and left the sect in a low-key manner.

But as soon as they flew away from the mountain, the spirit boat lurched violently, and the group of people were thrown about by the spiritual energy. Those with lower cultivation levels, such as Tao Su, were bleeding from all seven orifices and knelt on the ground.

"Master..." Tao Su stretched out her hand in anguish, towards Fang Ruotang's direction.

When the spirit boat sank, Fang Ruotang instinctively protected those around her.

She and the six men were unharmed. Du Zhong, with his profound cultivation, was even less likely to be in danger. Qin Bao'er and the other two fought back with all their might, and although it was difficult, they did not bleed from all seven orifices.

Fang Ruotang immediately moved in front of Tao Su, used her spiritual power to protect her, and called out, "Valley Master Du, come and take a look."

Du Zhong tossed over a bottle of medicine, but his gaze was fixed on the distance. With a somewhat grim expression, he said, "Leave this place quickly. There are two seniors competing ahead. We shouldn't get involved."

"No! I can't leave, I have to go up and take a look! This place is so close to Tianyi Sect, what if they don't know their own strength and destroy Tianyi Sect? There are so many disciples in the sect!" Fang Ruotang disagreed, but she didn't rush over there.
