"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..."
<...Fang Han's lips curled slightly, exuding a sense of confidence and mystery, as he slowly spoke: "Brother Xiang, it seems you have greatly underestimated the mysterious world hidden within my Azure Dragon Ring. In this self-contained little world, the flow of time is vastly different from the outside world. You only need to cultivate diligently here for a year to overcome numerous obstacles and step into the coveted Spirit Infant Realm."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Xiang Wantang's brows, which quickly turned into a look of doubt. He pondered, "So miraculous? You must know that even in our Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, a blessed land considered a sacred place for cultivation, it takes at least several decades of arduous training to advance from the Spirit Embryo Realm to the Spirit Infant Realm. Breaking through within ten years is already the work of a rare genius. If it can truly be achieved within a year, that is simply inconceivable, almost a myth."
Xiang Wantang pondered to himself that with his knowledge and cultivation, his estimation of cultivation time should be accurate and error-free, and there would be no way that such a huge error would occur.
Fang Han seemed to see through Xiang Wantang's doubts, smiled slightly, and explained, "Brother Xiang, you don't know this, but the world inside my Azure Dragon Ring has a different time rule than others. Ten years of cultivation there is only a fleeting year in the outside world. So, do you still think breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm within a year is so unattainable?"
"This...how is this possible?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Wantang's eyes flashed with shock, which then turned into ecstatic joy. "Brother Fang Han, you are already exceptionally talented, and your path of cultivation is as smooth as walking on flat ground. Now, with the help of such a heaven-defying artifact, your future achievements are simply limitless. Even 'a thousand miles a day' is not enough to describe it!"
Fang Han nodded gently, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity and warmth: "That's right. However, I won't easily open the world inside the Azure Dragon Ring to anyone other than my closest people, such as Tantai Qiuyue, my family, and you, Brother Xiang and Jinlong. We are brothers, so I naturally won't be stingy with you."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Wantang's eyes sparkled with excitement and gratitude. She half-jokingly said, "Haha, does that mean I should just move in and live in seclusion in your world from now on?"
"Alright, you're always welcome in my little world."
Fang Han said, "Now I need to find a propitious place to plant this Yin-Yang Tree properly."
Then, he slowly scanned this wondrous little world with his gaze.
This little world is like a dreamlike fairyland, with a vast lake in it. The lake water ripples gently in the breeze, and the shimmering waves look like countless tiny stars jumping and twinkling.
In the middle of the lake, there is a small and exquisite island, like a bright pearl, set on the lake surface.
The island was shrouded in a light mist, dreamlike and ethereal, like a mysterious corner of a fairyland.
Strangely enough, the lake water near the island was warm, just like the gentle sunshine of spring, bringing a sense of comfort.
It turned out that Fang Han had the foresight to bury an extremely precious Earth Fire Pill beneath this small island.
The Earth Fire Elixir contains intense heat, continuously radiating warmth, which keeps the lake water at a pleasant temperature.
"open!"
Fang Han flashed and instantly flew into the air, locking onto a location on the island, before striking out with a powerful palm strike.
This palm strike carried an overwhelming force, the wind whistling past as if it could tear the air apart.
In an instant, a huge crater appeared before their eyes on the island.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Han's mind stirred, and his divine sense spread out like threads, precisely controlling the Yin-Yang Tree with the huge clod of earth attached to it.
As if drawn by an invisible force, the Yin-Yang Tree slowly moved toward the pit and finally landed steadily in it.
Soon, the Yin-Yang Tree was successfully transplanted and took root firmly in this new land.
Just then, the calm lake suddenly surged with water, and a majestic golden dragon burst forth from the water.
Its body was lithe and agile, its scales shimmering with dazzling golden light, gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight. The golden dragon raised its head and roared, then opened its massive mouth and spewed out a thick dragon breath.
This dragon's breath is extremely cold; wherever it passes, the air seems to freeze, and layers of white frost appear.
The moment the frigid dragon's breath mingled and collided with the scorching heat emanating from the Earth Fire Pill, a wondrous power spread across the island.
This force is just right, neither too hot nor too cold, creating an excellent growing environment for the Yin-Yang Tree.
A miracle has happened!
The leaves of the Yin-Yang Tree, which were originally somewhat curled, seemed to be infused with new life and vitality, and immediately unfurled, becoming lush and green, swaying gently in the breeze.
And those Yin-Yang flowers, as if awakened, became even more beautiful and vibrant, emitting a faint fragrance, full of vitality.
