After a long silence, Xiang Wantang sighed softly.

“Brother, more than two hundred years ago, I was just an unknown outer disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect. My daily life consisted of working hard in the sect's medicinal fields, planting herbs and picking spiritual fruits. At that time, I was only exposed to the most basic and lowest-level cultivation techniques in the sect. Under such circumstances, it was naturally difficult to build a solid foundation.”

Xiang Wantang said to Fang Han, "Later, with my decent talent, I went through countless hardships and arduous cultivation before slowly advancing from an outer disciple to an inner disciple, then becoming a sect elder, and finally a Holy Son, and finally ascending to the position of sect leader. But now, thinking about it carefully, I realize that my inability to break through to the Spirit Embryo Realm may really be because I was too eager for quick success."

Xiang Wantang was well aware that if he were to rush to consume the Yin-Yang Fruit at this moment, given his current state, he might not be able to fully absorb the powerful energy contained within it and unleash its maximum effect.

However, if he calms down and spends a few months focusing on improving his foundation and physical body, the possibility of breaking through to the Spirit Embryo Realm will greatly increase.

Fang Han listened quietly, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

He knew in his heart that Xiang Wantang was a top figure in the Yanlong Kingdom, with exceptional intelligence and rich experience.

With just a little guidance, Xiang Wantang, with her intelligence, will surely be able to grasp the deeper meaning.

He said these words because he genuinely wanted to forge a good relationship with Xiang Wantang. After all, in the perilous world of cultivation, having a powerful ally is always beneficial.

After pondering for a moment, Xiang Wantang quickly came to her senses and said to Fang Han with a serious expression, "Brother, I will protect you now. You should ripen another Yin-Yang Fruit. From now on, you can take most of the Yin-Yang Fruits on this tree, and I will take a small portion. After all, if it weren't for your heaven-defying magic, I would have to wait more than a hundred years for the Yin-Yang Fruits to ripen."

Having spent many years navigating the world of cultivation to become the former sect leader of the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, Xiang Wantang naturally possesses extraordinary vision and magnanimity. His current statement demonstrates his respect and gratitude towards Fang Han.

Upon hearing this, Fang Han smiled faintly and said sincerely, "Brother, look at the Yin-Yang Fruits on this tree. There are at least several hundred of them. With these Yin-Yang Fruits, whether I use them to cultivate the family's strength or you use them to train the sect's experts, it's more than enough. So it doesn't really matter who takes more or less. However, there is one thing we must pay attention to: this place must never be known to anyone else."

At this point, Fang Han's expression turned serious, and he emphasized, "I will focus on ripening the Yin-Yang Fruit, while you continue to set up the formation. You must ensure that no one can approach this place casually, and we absolutely cannot let this opportunity fall into the hands of others, otherwise it will all be for nothing."

"That's right. From now on, this Yin-Yang Tree will belong only to the two of us brothers."

Xiang Wantang nodded and prepared to set up the formation, soon disappearing into a swirling mist.

Fang Han sat cross-legged on the spot, his hands quickly forming hand seals, his spiritual energy surging around him, continuing to focus on ripening the Yin-Yang Flower so that it could transform into the Yin-Yang Fruit as soon as possible.

The Yin-Yang Flower trembled slightly under the nourishment of his spiritual power, as if it were accumulating strength.

The formation that Xiang Wantang set up was based on the ancient formation from before.

He carefully observed the unique geothermal activity in this area, where the geothermal fire faintly emanated from underground cracks, carrying a scorching heat.

Xiang Wantang placed a large number of talismans at the key nodes of the formation.

These talismans shimmered with an eerie light, resonating with the earth's fire.

Clearly, that formation was something he had meticulously set up decades ago. Now, times have changed, and his cultivation level is vastly different from what it used to be. His mastery of formations far surpasses what it was back then.

This time, he used all his strength, and the formation he set up was naturally much more powerful than the one Fang Han had broken before.

Time flies by, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiang Wantang finally finished setting up the new formation and breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Fang Han also successfully ripened a Yin-Yang Fruit. The Yin-Yang Fruit was round and plump, radiating an alluring luster, as if it contained endless energy.

However, Fang Han did not intend to consume the Yin-Yang Fruit immediately.

At this time, he was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and already had a plan in mind.

He knew that he could steadily cultivate from the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the peak of the Divine Sense Realm by following the proper steps, without needing to rely on additional pills or rare treasures.

His thought was to use the powerful energy of the Yin-Yang Fruit again at the crucial moment when he broke through from the Divine Sense Realm to the Yuan Dan Realm and formed a golden core within his body.

In this lifetime, he must cultivate steadily and surely in order to become the most powerful god.

"Brother, what do you think of this new formation I've set up?"

With a smug look on her face, Xiang Wantang strode up to Fang Han, her eyes full of anticipation.

He thought to himself that even if Fang Han came to break this new formation, it would be impossible for him to do so as easily as before; it would definitely take some effort.

"Brother, your formation is truly ingenious!"

Fang Han slowly paced around the formation, observing and praising it as he went. "It not only cleverly utilizes the power of earth fire to make the formation contain intense heat, but also perfectly draws in the yin energy of this mountain, making the formation sometimes as hot as a raging fire and sometimes as cold as a thousand-year-old ice. It also contains the profound and unfathomable yin and yang principles of heaven and earth."

Fang Han frowned slightly, then changed the subject, "However, in my opinion, this formation still has some flaws."
