Time passed second by second, and Luo Qingxin's face turned pale in her sleep.
Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, her lips were bloodless, her body trembled slightly, and her fat jiggled.
They are clearly in a state of fear.
Fang Xiu calmly watched all of this; he was waiting.
Once Luo Qingxin's mind receives enough stimulation, she will be able to completely transform her spirituality into the light of her soul!
Everything is ready now, except for the transformation of the mind.
This process is very long.
Suddenly, Luo Qingxin's body stiffened abruptly. Her fists clenched tightly, and her legs involuntarily straightened, as if she were using all her strength to try to expel something from her body.
However, the next second, she deflated like a punctured balloon, her previously stiff and tense body went limp, like a puddle of mud, and collapsed onto the bed.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly.
It failed?
As expected, reaching the fifth rank is not easy; opportunity, talent, and willpower are all indispensable.
It's okay, we can do it again.
That's the beauty of dreams; if one nightmare isn't enough, have a few more.
In reality, if you only have one chance, you'll die if you don't seize it.
Soon, the nightmare resurfaced, and Luo Qingxin began to tremble again. She closed her eyes tightly, biting her lip hard with her pearly white teeth, as if her mind was enduring wave after wave of unimaginable shocks.
A moment later, the stimulation to the mind seemed to reach its peak, and the qualitative change was at a critical moment.
Luo Qingxin's body tensed up involuntarily once again.
"ah!"
She screamed suddenly, her eyes snapping open with a blinding white light!
It is the light of the soul!
Fifth rank, done!
A radiant light emanated from her entire body, making her snow-white skin glow in the dim light, like that of a goddess.
When she saw Fang Xiu in front of her, she was first taken aback, then her face lit up with joy.
"I've broken through!"
She couldn't help but look down at her body, which radiated spiritual light, and then her joy froze.
Instead of screaming like a young girl, she lowered her head and quietly put on her clothes.
With Luo Qingxin's success, Fang Xiu's reputation as a fifth-level master has been completely solidified!
However, there is one thing: breaking through to the fifth rank requires the use of the Mysterious Pattern Technique, and the only one who has mastered the Mysterious Pattern Technique is this dried corpse in front of us.
Fang Xiu had been keeping a close eye on Luo Qingxin, hoping to learn the art of the mysterious patterns, but after watching for a long time, he still came up empty-handed.
The secret techniques passed down from the previous era cannot be learned simply by looking at them.
Perhaps... we can buy the method of the Mysterious Pattern through the Mysterious Pawnshop.
The Ghost Pawnshop even knew about Zhou Qingfeng's burial site, so there's no reason they wouldn't know about the Ghost Pattern Technique.
Even the secret techniques for making paper dolls, substitute puppets, and funeral shrouds should all be available at the Pawnshop.
Once these secret techniques are brought back to the present world, the strength of the spirit masters in the present world will be raised to another level, after all, they are remnants of the previous era.
For a time, Fang Xiu became increasingly eager to control the passage between the burial ground and the present world.
The burial ground is a treasure trove, containing not only secret techniques passed down from the spirit masters of the previous era, but also gray mist, eeriness, and its own gluttonous army.
It can be said that as long as he controls the burial grounds, he will be invincible!
It can even more perfectly implement the plan of all-people spirit masters, at which time the strangeness of this era will be ended, and the present world will be used as the base to advance step by step and counterattack the other side!
Upon realizing this, Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback. This plan seemed familiar.
For a moment, he thought of Zhou Qingfeng.
It seems that Zhou Qingfeng from the previous era did the same thing, although the process may have been different, the key points were basically the same.
He will lead all the Spirit Masters to end an era of strangeness, then launch a counterattack on the Other Shore, and then be wiped out.
He shook his head slightly, clearing his mind of distractions. Zhou Qingfeng's failure did not mean he would fail.
"Brother Xiu." Luo Qingxin's voice interrupted Fang Xiu's thoughts.
"Thanks."
"Okay." Fang Xiu nodded calmly. "Let's go back."
"Hmm." Luo Qingxin gave a soft "hmm," then turned and left with a complicated expression.
In the days that followed, Fang Xiu followed the same method, leaving one person behind each day to help him break through to the fifth rank.
As expected, Li Xiaoru, Luo Qingxin, and Xiong Tianguang, all three peak fourth-tier experts, have become fifth-tier powerhouses!
Sometimes, finding the right method makes breakthroughs that simple.
Of course, it only seems simple on the surface.
In reality, it was a combination of favorable timing, location, and human factors.
The foundation of a fourth-tier peak, the special environment of the burial ground, the method of the strange patterns, the perfectly controlled S-rank weirdness, and the nightmares that can stimulate the mind countless times—all these conditions are indispensable.
Several days later.
Outside of White Stone Town.
Lu Ziming, Tong Yang, and Wen Jinglong quietly huddled together.
With an eerie cover, their secret conversation went unnoticed.
"How much did you make today?" Lu Ziming asked with a strange expression.
"150,000."
"160,000."
Lu Ziming's expression turned serious: "If we calculate the amount, we have probably raised 100 million. If I am not mistaken, we should exchange for the key to the Zhou residence after we return today."
It should have been a happy occasion, but the three of them showed no joy whatsoever; instead, they were filled with worry.
Lu Ziming took in the expressions of the two men.
"It seems you two think the same way I do."
"Hmm." Tong Yang gave a soft "hmm": "We're no longer of any use to you."
"It's time to discard the donkey after it has served its purpose."
"Very good. It seems that no one is taking any chances. After all, after nearly two months, I believe everyone understands who Fang Xiu is."
He never treated us like human beings! In his eyes, we were nothing more than tools for making money, like donkeys that would be slaughtered and eaten once we had finished pulling the millstone for our master and were no longer of value.
Don't forget that he can devour spiritual energy. In his eyes, we fifth-level and fourth-level beings are the best nourishment!
Therefore, we must prepare early and not sit idly by and wait for our demise.
As Lu Ziming spoke, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Tong Yang sighed slightly: "How easy is that? Haven't you noticed that Li Xiaoru and the others have all broken through to the fifth level?"
Now I understand why Fang Xiu is called the Fifth-Order Master. It's true! He really can help people break through to the Fifth Order!
They now have three fifth-tier warriors and an army of hundreds of Taotie. How can they possibly fight them?
Unless we try to win them over, but the problem is, after spending so much time with them, I've come to realize that these people have no brains at all and blindly follow Fang Xiu's orders.
Fang Xiu is their external brain!
I have no doubt that even if Fang Xiu ordered them to die, these people would obediently go and die; they are so loyal that they cannot be turned against them.
