"As long as I drain you dry, this medicinal cauldron, I can enhance my aptitude and become a dazzling prodigy. It is a blessing from your previous life to die under a peony tonight..."
<..."Grandma, Uncle, when have I ever lied to you?"
Gongsun Zilong sighed, "The plan succeeded, but I was also injured."
He had always considered himself a genius of Yanming City and felt that Wu Lei, a spoiled brat who relied on resources to get ahead, couldn't compare to him in terms of potential. But now, in Fang Han's eyes, he was someone with little future, while his sister might cultivate to the Spirit Embryo Realm, Spirit Infant Realm, Spirit King Realm, or even the God King or God Emperor Realm, far beyond the Yuan Dan Realm.
He found it hard to accept.
"Are you injured?"
Gongsun Guyun carefully examined Gongsun Zilong and said, "I see you are perfectly fine; there isn't a single wound on your body."
"Fang Han said my sister has a natural Dao physique, but I am very ordinary. I also wanted to become Fang Han's disciple, but Fang Han rejected me."
Gongsun Zilong gave a general account of what had happened.
"A naturally born Daoist physique? This... what kind of physique is this?"
Gongsun Guyun and Gongsun Dade were both stunned.
Yanming City is a small place after all. Although the Gongsun family is one of the three major families in Yanming City, they have some inheritance and have no idea what a natural Dao body is.
"Anyway, Fang Han said that this kind of physique is suitable for cultivating divine sense. Once she cultivates a powerful technique, it will be easy to break through. In the future, she can become an existence far beyond the Yuan Dan realm, while I can only cultivate to the divine sense realm at most."
Gongsun Guyun said.
"A Yuan Dan realm cultivator?... How is this possible?"
Gongsun Guyun was greatly shocked. He knew that in Yanming City, the Foundation Establishment Realm was the top level. The city lord, Ye Zhong, was at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Those who reached the Divine Sense Realm were definitely true experts in Tianyuan County. In Qingxuan Sect, Longyuan Sword Sect, and Wuji Sect, they would be elders. And those who reached the Yuan Dan Realm were sect leaders, supreme elders, and true giants.
She didn't even dare to dream of experts above the Yuan Dan realm.
"How is that impossible? Fang Han only spent the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to help his sister break through to the initial stage of Martial Grandmaster."
Gongsun Zilong said.
"Great! It seems we made the right choice in becoming his apprentices. Even if Yaoqin can't become Fang Han's wife, becoming his disciple will bring prosperity to the Gongsun family."
Gongsun Dade laughed happily.
“That’s right. I need to tell the patriarch immediately so that he can allocate more family resources to Gongsun Yaoqin and focus on nurturing her.”
Gongsun Guyun also said.
"this……"
Gongsun Zilong almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
...
Ten days later, under Fang Han's guidance, Gongsun Yaoqin entered the realm of mid-level Martial Grandmaster.
After all, she was born with a Dao embryo, so her cultivation progressed very quickly.
Then, Fang Han began to teach her the art of forging the spirit.
Because it is absolutely impossible to forge a spiritual weapon without divine sense.
Gongsun Yaoqin is indeed talented in this area.
Another half month later, she cultivated divine sense.
Then, Fang Han taught her the art of weapon crafting in the Fang family's weapon crafting pavilion.
Zhou Chi was also practicing weapon crafting with Gongsun Yaoqin.
Although Zhou Chi doesn't have any special physique, his physical body is still very strong, and he has broken through to the initial stage of Martial Grandmaster.
Soon, the two were able to forge weapons of low-grade magic weapon level.
"In less than a month, I have actually been able to forge low-grade treasure weapons. It's unbelievable."
Gongsun Yaoqin looked at the long sword she had forged, stroking it with one hand, and couldn't help but sigh.
Looking back on the past month, she feels like she's in a dream, learning a lot of new things every day.
After following Fang Han, not only did her cultivation level improve significantly, but she also became quite proficient in weapon crafting.
"Yaoqin, your talent is truly extraordinary. The weapons you forge are even of a higher quality than the weapons I forge."
Looking at the long sword in Gongsun Yaoqin's hand, Zhou Chi exclaimed, "I estimate that by next year, you will become the second weapon refiner in Yanming City, after my young master, who can refine spirit weapons (spiritual artifact level)."
“Zhou Chi, that’s not necessarily true. Your talent in weapon crafting is also quite astonishing.”
Gongsun Yaoqin said, "Your hammer technique is simply a remnant of my master's style."
"Stop praising each other. Your weapon-refining skills are far from good enough. When Princess Xiao Qingluan looks for me later, just tell her I'm not here."
But just then, Fang Han walked in.
He is usually very composed, but at this moment, he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.
He was about to go to another weapon-refining room.
"Master, why are you hiding from the princess?"
Gongsun Yaoqin asked curiously.
“The princess likes my young master, but he has no interest in her. I think it must be the princess who has come to us.”
Zhou Chi laughed.
Over the past twenty-odd days, he and Gongsun Yaoqin have developed a very good relationship.
Of course, it's a bit difficult to determine their seniority, because Fang Han still calls Zhou Chi "brother," while Gongsun Yaoqin is Fang Han's apprentice.
In the end, the two shouted their own names.
Zhou Chi called her Yaoqin Sister, and she called Zhou Chi Brother.
“Master, the princess is chasing you, and you can’t just hide from her. I have a way to make her stop chasing you.”
Gongsun Yaoqin thought for a moment, her pretty face blushing slightly, and immediately said to Fang Han.
"Is this female disciple going to pretend to be my lover?"
Fang Han saw that Gongsun Yaoqin blushed and his heart stirred.
