Chapter 47 Two Time Travelers
That night, after the two finished their dual cultivation, they prepared to sleep.
Zhong Cai was lying sprawled on the bed, feeling lazy and sleepy, when she inadvertently glanced at someone standing by the window, who looked a little scary at first glance.
He was speechless for a moment: "Old Wu, what are you doing?"
Wu Shaogan's profile was partially hidden in the shadows, giving him a somewhat eerie air.
Zhong Cai raised his voice: "Old Wu?"
Wu Shaogan turned around and smiled, and that strange feeling completely disappeared.
Zhong Cai casually remarked, "You've been acting a bit strange lately. What kind of wicked idea are you plotting now?"
Wu Shaogan walked over and said with a smile, "What idea would I have to hide from you?" He then confessed directly, "I just released a peak bronze-armored soldier and sent him to the Wu family."
Zhong Cai scoffed, "Why would we go to the Wu family again?"
Wu Shaogan lay down next to Zhong Cai and laughed, "Guess."
Zhong Cai, who was feeling lazy, dragged out her words, "I don't want to guess—just tell me already."
Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "I'll have that bronze-armored soldier hide in the Wu family's residence. After some time, I'll find an opportunity to kill Wu Shaoan."
Zhong Cai was taken aback: "He's in death row."
Wu Shaogan said nonchalantly, "That so-called death row cell is only for members of the Wu family who have made mistakes but cannot be killed. It is only set up with a level three formation and guarded by elders at the Enlightenment Realm in turns."
Zhong Cai: "Just a level three formation?"
Wu Shaogan nodded: "A level three alert array is most convenient to operate by a cultivator who has attained enlightenment. Moreover, any Wu family member who is imprisoned can be released once they have attained enlightenment, so level three is sufficient. If there are external enemies, the Wu family's level five clan protection array will react and directly alarm the patriarch."
"The bronze-armored soldier is my Dao soldier, carrying my aura. He is neither human nor inhuman, and can be regarded as a puppet. His infiltration into the Wu family will not disturb the great formation, and it will not take much effort for him to kill Wu Shao'an."
Zhong Cai suddenly realized: "Okay then."
That bastard's actions weren't just simple jealousy; he even poisoned children—it's terrifying! And he showed no remorse whatsoever. Before going to jail, he didn't forget to give Old Wu a malicious look, clearly indicating that he'd cause trouble again once he was free.
He originally thought that by the time that bastard was released, neither of them would be around, and they probably wouldn't run into each other. And even if they did, he'd just kill him and be done with it.
But Old Wu was too lazy to wait, so he figured he could just find a way to kill him.
Thinking of this, Zhong Cai closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly and went to sleep.
·
From then on, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan's lives returned to normal.
One focused on alchemy, while the other processed medicinal herbs, drew talismans, and condensed primordial spirits.
We practice together every night.
·
Zhong Cai is still refining level-two pills, and she still chooses the same three types.
With a success rate of 80%, he could only refine four batches, or 36 pills, per day. However, the price of a second-level pill—even the most basic one—would be a hundred times that of a first-level pill of the same kind.
In short, if Zhong Cai were to sell Zhiyun Dan to the public, the lowest grade would cost at least 120 gold coins.
However, his progress in alchemy was too rapid, so he didn't sell any of them for the time being. He kept the low-grade and mid-grade ones, sent the high-grade ones into different levels of blind boxes, and kept the top-grade ones for his own use later.
·
After a busy day, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan had their meal in the inner courtyard.
Qiao Hong brought the food up one by one, then went to the kitchen to get a food box and headed to the outer courtyard.
Zhong Cai noticed this and instructed, "Choose what suits them."
Qiaohong respectfully agreed and gracefully went to deliver the food.
Bichen stepped forward and respectfully reported, "I went to look for a house for the young master today, and I have already received news."
While eating the food that Wu Shaogan had put on his plate, Zhong Cai said, "Tell me about it."
Bichen said, "In the afternoon, the guards took over the courtyard on the right side of this small courtyard."
Zhong Cai raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You actually managed to find the one next door?"
Bi Cen explained, “Young Master Wu Yousong has been a great help. He has a friend, Young Master Wang, who owns several courtyards of various sizes, almost all of which are rented out to independent cultivators. The small courtyard on the right is the same, but that independent cultivator went up the mountain half a month ago and has not returned. He should have died in the mountains, so the small courtyard is empty and has not been rented out for the time being.”
"When Young Master Wu was helping to inquire about houses, he asked about Young Master Wang's place. Out of respect for Young Master Wu, Young Master Wang agreed to sell that small courtyard."
Zhong Cai nodded: "You can handle this matter. Once the yard is tidied up, they can move in whenever they want."
Bichen agreed.
Zhong Cai tossed two low-grade Qi-replenishing pills to Bi Cen and said, "One is for you, and you can give the other to Wu Yousong when you have the chance. Just say it's a small token of friendship between friends."
Bichen agreed again and quickly left.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan continued eating, and when they were almost done, they started talking about other things.
Wu Shaogan handed a letter to Zhong Cai and said, "During the days we were gone, Grandpa sent letters as usual."
Zhong Cai took it and opened it to take a look.
·
Unsurprisingly, the business situation remains the same as that of the West Tiger Hunting Group.
As Xihu slowly released the Qi-replenishing pills and head-protecting pills, it did indeed gradually grow stronger, and its manpower increased.
When Zhong Cai started refining second-level pills, he gave Xi Hu the lower-quality Pulse Protection Pill, Herb Pill, Restoration Pill, and Blood Tempering Pill one after another, as agreed with Lao Wu.
Within two months, he also selected several dozen low-grade and a dozen mid-grade pills from the twenty newly refined pills and gave them to Xihu.
Sun Hu delivered the message as was his custom.
After that exchange between the grandfather and grandson, they basically met once every two months, with the Azure Sky Puppet making the trip.
Sun Hu would always bring over the profits that were supposed to be shared with Zhong Cai.
Then Zhong Cai would hand over the gold to Xiang Lin, who would then distribute the monthly allowances and allocate funds for purchases.
Xiang Lin is not only highly capable, but also very organized in handling these matters.
He certainly trains diligently every day, but it's clear that his strength can no longer catch up with Wu Shaogan's. So he tries his best to relieve his two masters' worries and save them the trouble of handling miscellaneous tasks.
·
After Zhong Cai finished reading the letter, he also showed it to Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan glanced at it, saw nothing special, and then disposed of it.
Zhong Cai discussed with Wu Shaogan: "Old Wu, when do you think it would be best to give the second-level pills I refined to Xihu?"
Wu Shaogan said, "My maternal grandfather has already established his own palace, so giving him a little less won't hurt."
Zhong Cai hesitated for a moment: "...Isn't this too fast?"
Wu Shaogan pondered for a moment and said, "Your maternal grandfather and aunt both know that you have an exceptional talent for alchemy. A year has passed since then, so it wouldn't be too strange if you could produce three or five low-grade level two pills."
Zhong Cai thought about it and agreed.
"I'll give Grandpa a few level-two pills after he's been selling for another month or two."
Wu Shaogan nodded.
So, let's leave this topic here.
·
Wu Dongxiao stayed in the outer courtyard for a day and did not go out.
After all, he was a guest, and the other servants all had their own things to do. His going out was already a big disturbance to them.
Xia Jiang's lifespan has been greatly reduced due to the repeated torment he has endured. If it cannot be restored, it seems there is no hope of him being able to be consecrated.
But he didn't mind, and when taking care of Wu Dongxiao, he was just as attentive as he said.
After spending more time with Xia Jiang, Wu Dongxiao became closer to him.
Three meals a day were delivered on time.
Wu Dongxiao always ate with Xia Jiang. They could feel that all the ingredients had a certain warming and nourishing effect, which was very suitable for the two of them.
As promised, Wu Dongxiao meticulously kept the accounts, stroke by stroke.
Xia Jiang is quite knowledgeable about prices and will gently remind Wu Dongxiao when he can't make a judgment.
Their relationship was peaceful.
At that moment, Bichen knocked on the door and came in.
Wu Dongxiao was somewhat surprised after listening to his explanation.
Despite his young age, he knew a thing or two about the Wu family's internal affairs, and naturally he was also very clear about the origins of Bichen and Qiaohong—he had met some people similar to them before.
Although they had only met briefly a few times, Wu Dongxiao could tell that Qiaohong and Bichen were different from those people. Their cooking skills and their ability to get things done were both quite remarkable.
It's clear that they were doing very well with their two uncles.
Wu Dongxiao didn't even know what he was thinking. A few thoughts flashed through his mind as he listened to Bi Cen's words with a distracted attention.
Then he said directly, "Thank you for your help. We'd like to move in as soon as possible."
Bi Cen agreed amiably: "Then I will go and take care of it. If all goes well, the young master and Guard Xia will be able to move in tomorrow."
Wu Dongxiao smiled and said, "Thank you."
At the same time, he asked about the price of the courtyard and wrote it down after receiving the answer.
Not long after, Xiang Lin also came and gave him and Xia Jiangyue the allowance.
Wu Dongxiao also made the same record.
·
The neighboring courtyard was even smaller than Zhong Cai's, and it didn't have an inner or outer courtyard.
The front door leads to the entrance, followed by a relatively spacious training ground.
There is one main house, one meditation room, and one or two rooms on each side.
This would definitely not be enough for Zhong Cai and the others, but it would be just right for Wu Dongxiao and Xia Jiang...
The two courtyards are separated by only one wall.
Wu Dongxiao's courtyard was next to Zhong Cai's outer courtyard, so if any trouble arose, Xiang Lin and his servants would easily find out.
It's very convenient to connect with both sides.
·
Wu Dongxiao moved in and was very satisfied with everything.
He looked at the training ground with a burning light in his eyes.
"Uncle Xia, do you know any basic martial arts?"
Xia Jiang replied, "Yes."
Wu Dongxiao perked up: "Then teach me!"
Xia Jiang replied, "Yes."
Without hesitation, Wu Dongxiao took a deep breath and said, "Let's start now!"
Xia Jiang walked into the training ground, assumed a starting stance, and began to practice.
Both master and servant knew that Wu Dongxiao could only use the strength of his body at present, and what he had learned was a wide-ranging style of fighting with his bare hands.
After some time, once Wu Dongxiao has made some progress, they can go into the mountains to give it a try.
The strongest savage beasts in the mountains near Qianqiao Town are only at the second tier.
With Xia Jiang's protection, Wu Dongxiao can have enough opportunities to hone his skills...
Every few days, Xiang Lin would come to see the two of them. Seeing that their lives were going well, he would just come to check on them.
·
Canglang Peak, the Tomb of the King of Dan.
Any alchemist who can refine pills of level five to seven, and whose pills are always full and contain one top-grade pill, can be called a "King of Pills".
Before their deaths, Dan Wang would often leave behind a legacy.
Most Pill Kings pass on their legacy to their disciples, families, or sects, thus transforming it into the foundation of their respective forces.
However, there are a very small number of rogue cultivators who always wander outside. They either die with their inheritance or set up a place to pass on their inheritance before they die, so that they can find disciples in the next generation.
This place of inheritance is the tomb of the King of Dan.
The tomb will contain the legacy of the Pill King, as well as his trials.
At the same time, there will also be many formations set up by the Pill King before his death—with various grades of rare herbs planted in advance, and most of them have at least one higher-grade herb.
Once the descendants successfully pass the test, the formation will break on its own.
These precious medicinal herbs, which have gradually matured, will naturally become part of the foundation of these inheritors.
·
In the passageway of the Dan King's tomb, a young man was sitting cross-legged.
He wasn't particularly handsome, and his brows were furrowed tightly, clearly indicating that he was deep in thought.
Above his head, a halo was emitting a faint glow, sparsely seeping into his hair.
After pondering for more than half an hour, the young man suddenly spoke: "The last one is the Half-Moon Lotus!"
The halo seemed to nod in approval, then completely disappeared into the young man's mind.
The young man stood up and continued walking along the tomb passage.
There were several similar halos of light on the tomb passage ahead.
The young man's forehead was already beaded with sweat, but he strode forward without hesitation.
As he walked, he took out a pill from his mustard seed bag and swallowed it.
In an instant, the young man's complexion became much rosier, and a glimmer of light flickered in the depths of his eyes.
Soon, the young man sat cross-legged under the second halo of light.
A faint glow also emanated from the halo, falling upon the young man's head...
·
After more than half a month of effort, the young man finally reached the end of the tomb passage.
Upon entering the main burial chamber, one is greeted by a skeleton sitting cross-legged on a stone bed.
The young man knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation.
Once, twice... ten times... thirty times...
After kowtowing forty-nine times, the skeleton finally made a series of cracking sounds and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the stone slab in front of the stone bed opened smoothly, revealing a box about an arm's length inside.
The young man's face lit up with ecstasy as he lunged forward and opened the box!
Inside the box were a bronze key, a jade tablet, and three bottles of elixirs.
The young man felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.
That's right, this is what the protagonist saw when he arrived here.
He quickly put away the jade tablet and the pills, then took the bronze key, went around to the back of the stone bed, and inserted the key into the lock.
The stone wall behind them suddenly slid open, and a rich medicinal fragrance burst out.
Looking up, I saw a medicinal herb garden behind me.
The garden is planted with large areas of first and second-grade rare medicinal herbs, and a few third-grade ones.
The young man glanced around and complained, "So what if they died? And they were all such low-level creatures! I worked so hard, and I didn't even earn much money!"
Despite his complaints, he still wore a joyful smile.
The young man's gaze fell on the formation at the very center.
Inside, there is a strange flower.
There are forty-nine petals in total, overlapping each other beautifully.
The petals are snow-white, like jade carvings.
However, after a few breaths, it turned pitch black again, as if it were soaked in the deep night, unable to reflect any light at all.
The young man let out a sigh of relief.
"Great! With this thing, I can extend my ancestor's life by another hundred years!"
"With more time to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, the Ancestor will surely reward me handsomely. And I will definitely have this powerful backer, so I won't have to worry about that damned bastard Fang Tianzong anymore!"
·
The young man's name was Fang Tianqi, and he was the illegitimate son of the Fang family, a third-rate family in Fanxing City.
Fanxing City is a level three city. Although the Fang family is not considered a major force among the many forces in the city, every three to five generations, or even more than ten generations, will produce a genius with exceptional talent, at least at the top level of the Earth rank.
Most of them eventually manage to cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Realm—or even higher.
Fang Tianzong was the most talented of this generation, reaching the lower level of the Heavenly Rank.
Fang Tianzong is Fang Tianqi's elder brother. He is twenty-two years old this year and has already reached the fifth level of the Palace Opening Realm.
Fang Tianqi's aptitude was far inferior to Fang Tianzong's, only reaching the lower grade of the Xuan rank.
He was only one year younger than Fang Tianzong, yet he was at the peak of the Heavenly Guidance Realm.
The original owner of the body, Fang Tianqi, had always been Fang Tianzong's follower. Fang Tianzong would occasionally give him some good things. The two brothers had a very harmonious relationship and could be described as brothers who were friendly and respectful to each other.
But Fang Tianqi now knows that this is all an illusion!
·
Fang Tianqi transmigrated two years ago and quickly deduced that he had transmigrated into a male-oriented harem novel.
At the moment he arrived, the protagonist was just a little kid, probably having just unlocked the secret treasure.
Fang Tianzong is the protagonist's good brother in the story. He admires the protagonist very much, goes through life and death with the protagonist several times, and has helped the protagonist a lot.
The protagonist is extremely generous to Fang Tianzong. Whenever he receives any benefit, as long as Fang Tianzong is present, he will definitely receive a share.
While the protagonist's strength was advancing by leaps and bounds, Fang Tianzong was also making rapid progress.
The Fang family also gained many channels and continued to grow stronger because of their friendship.
However, Fang Tianqi, the half-brother, is discovered to be a womanizer one day.
·
In the storyline, a mysterious womanizer roams through many level-five cities and towns near Fanxing City.
Anyone with even a modicum of beauty, whether an ordinary person or a cultivator, could be targeted by a womanizing madman.
Once targeted, the next day all that will remain is a beautiful corpse—more stunning than when she was at the height of her beauty in life.
Upon closer inspection, one would find that all the blood in their bodies had disappeared, leaving only a full, fleshy shell.
The womanizer appears and disappears without a trace; even if someone discovers a few clues about him, they cannot actually find him.
What's even more terrifying is that, as time went on, the cultivation levels of the female cultivators he harmed also increased.
From being merely a Heavenly Guide or a Palace Opener to a Consecrated cultivator, even a certain Ancestor of Suspended Illumination was later persecuted!
The womanizer aroused the anger of countless people, who mobilized all forces to search for him.
Finally, with the concerted efforts of many forces, it was discovered that this person was actually Fang Tianqi from the Fang family of Fanxing City.
The Fang family, upholding justice even at the cost of their own kinship, not only publicly executed Fang Tianqi but also provided substantial compensation—including a high-level martial arts technique.
This act of not shirking responsibility not only made up for the damage to the Fang family's reputation, but also won the favor of these forces.
The Fang family was not greatly affected; on the contrary, they used this opportunity to establish connections with many powerful forces.
·
However, Fang Tianqi was wronged.
The so-called womanizer was not him at all, but Fang Tianzong!
·
Long ago, the Fang family patriarch possessed a Crimson Sun Seven Treasures Heart, which summoned an extremely terrifying companion treasure, granting him immortal-grade aptitude.
After his death, his essence and blood, influenced by his intentions, were passed down to his descendants.
Extreme yang blood clashes with a woman's constitution, and if the bloodline is too wide, it may be carried into other families, which is why it appears in the direct line of males.
This generation of Fang Tianzong has just inherited the legacy, with seven drops of precious blood nourishing his heart.
The precious blood transforms the cultivator during their fetal stage, enabling their physique to attract the symbiotic treasures of the blazing red sun—these treasures are often of very high quality, thus giving the fetus extremely high aptitude.
Moreover, the baby's blood boils, creating waves of heat at the moment of birth, bringing this attraction to its peak!
As a result, these geniuses often immediately unlock the secret treasures and their aptitude reaches the highest level.
The Seven Treasures Blood of the Crimson Sun possesses immense power. While geniuses who inherit this blood can achieve twice the results with half the effort when cultivating such techniques, they suffer the daily agony of being scorched by the Crimson Sun.
To alleviate the pain, a high-quality Yin-attribute treasure is needed for harmonization.
If the quality is insufficient, the precious blood will retaliate, causing even more suffering to the host.
·
The Fang family naturally prepared many Yin-attribute treasures for Fang Tianzong, but they only provided temporary relief; the suffering continued.
Until one time when he had an attack in the mountains, he impulsively used his sexual energy to seduce a female cultivator, which actually suppressed his pain.
However, after being suppressed for a period of time, the precious blood will boil again.
Thus, Fang Tianzong became a womanizing maniac.
He made sure not to cause trouble in high-level cities, so the Fang family turned a blind eye.
Just in case, Fang Tianzong also found someone to take the blame for him.
This was Fang Tianqi's original form.
Fang Tianzong treated Fang Tianqi extremely well, which made his younger brothers and half-brothers extremely jealous.
Privately, he gave Fang Tianqi a lot of resources and treasures that concealed his aura, which enabled Fang Tianqi to break through in secret and was extremely grateful to him.
·
Fang Tianqi was imprisoned by the patriarch using extremely secretive methods and died because he was unable to defend himself.
Everyone around him believed that he was the demon.
After all, given his talent, how could he have broken through so quickly if he hadn't committed the heinous act of absorbing yin energy to replenish yang energy?
·
Fang Tianqi has no intention of sitting idly by and waiting to die.
Fortunately, Fang Tianzong was only in his twenties at this time and had not yet decided on a scapegoat. He was also good to his other brothers, but Fang Tianqi was the closest to him, which made them seem the most intimate.
Fang Tianqi gradually increased the frequency of his seclusion, subtly maintaining his distance from Fang Tianzong.
At the same time, he was also sorting out the plot and racking his brains for a way to break the deadlock.
Most importantly, he must be useful and also have the protection of the Fang family patriarch.
·
While the Fang family patriarch certainly values Fang Tianzong highly, it's mainly because his lifespan is nearing its end, and the Fang family may have to be entrusted to Fang Tianzong for many years to come.
The fact that Fang Tianzong was able to be protected by the Fang family patriarch in the future was not entirely due to his good aptitude.
More importantly, after befriending the protagonist, Fang Tianzong obtained a high-grade longevity pill with the help of the protagonist's luck!
After taking that elixir, the Fang family patriarch's lifespan was extended by two hundred years!
Almost without any surprises, the ancestor was able to transform into a spirit after that.
Such kindness was enough to make it worthwhile for the Fang family patriarch to risk some danger to fill in the gaps in Fang Tianzong's record.
·
Fang Tianqi was a novel reader; he had read at least eighty or a hundred similar novels, so naturally he couldn't remember much of the plot, only a general impression.
However, he had read the first hundred free chapters of this book several times... although only to nitpick, they had undoubtedly been of great help to him now.
Not long after, Fang Tianqi made a decision.
Go and seize the most important opportunity for the protagonist in the early stages!
The legacy of Dan Wang Mu Changsheng!
·
The original book details the trials the protagonist experienced in the tomb of King Dan.
Fang Tianqi could remember how the protagonist dealt with each situation, what problems he encountered, and how difficult it was.
Fang Tianqi therefore made sufficient preparations.
For example, the pills he took were used to enhance his spiritual power, which could strengthen his memory in a short period of time.
The protagonist had never studied alchemy before, and what he was undergoing was a test of his learning ability.
The same applies to Fang Tianqi.
He knew he couldn't compare to the protagonist with his halo; even in one extremely dangerous situation, the protagonist could still guess correctly.
However, Fang Tianqi also had his own foresight advantage, and he still succeeded by a narrow margin.
·
Mu Changsheng is only a fifth-level Pill King, but that is already quite remarkable.
Most importantly, he specially left a double-flowered plant for the successor.
Fang Tianqi passed the test and naturally succeeded in picking it.
The formation activated automatically the moment he approached.
·
The Double Flower is a level six precious medicinal herb, and its form can change due to external factors such as environment and time.
When it rotates between black and white, it is a normal two-flowered flower. If a cultivator who builds a palace wears it, it can increase their lifespan by a hundred years.
When it transforms into pure black, it is called the "Netherworld Poison Flower." Just one petal can poison a cultivator at the Fusion Realm! If the whole flower is ingested, it can poison a cultivator at the Palace Building Realm.
When it transforms into pure white, it is called "Yangling Life and Death Flower," and it can neutralize any poison of level six or below.
The cultivators who take it are not limited by their cultivation level, but the lower their cultivation level, the more painful it is.
·
In the original book, after the protagonist was poisoned, he was abandoned by his disabled uncle and also got a dying child as a burden.
That burden is the protagonist's enemy's bodyguard; giving him this burden is simply making use of waste.
The uncle completely ignored the protagonist, and after accepting reality, the protagonist obediently continued to make a living under the uncle's command.
However, just as the protagonist went to the neighborhood to relax, several younger people came over and subjected him to inhumane humiliation.
The protagonist endured it all, but the injuries from the beatings worsened day by day.
It was his enemy's bodyguard who discovered his injuries and, despite his broken body, protected him.
Although the Death Guard couldn't help much, the protagonist changed his opinion of him and from then on, he had another "Chapel" he could rely on.
It was almost a month later when the useless uncle finally discovered the protagonist's miserable state.
Afterwards, this uncle took the protagonist away from the Wu family and they lived in a small town.
However, the protagonist's peaceful days did not last long. Blaine died saving him, and his uncle was also killed.
At that time, the protagonist was seven years old. There was only a small courtyard left by his uncle, which was empty and desolate.
To make a living, the protagonist spends most of his time wandering around in the mountains, searching for food to fill his stomach.
It was during this wandering that the protagonist accidentally entered the Tomb of the Pill King.
After enduring countless hardships to complete Mu Changsheng's test, the protagonist successfully obtained the inheritance.
At that time, the Twin Flower had just transformed into the Yang Spirit Life and Death Flower.
The protagonist learns the effects of this flower from the inheritance. After consuming it, he almost dies but finally gets rid of the poison in his body!
After that, the protagonist regained his top-tier Earth-grade aptitude and began his eventful life!
·
Fang Tianqi collected everything he could from the Pill King's tomb, including all the rare herbs, before leisurely leaving and closing the tomb.
He found a secluded cave to rest in, feeling quite pleased with himself.
"The protagonist's opportunity came so easily; it seems the plot isn't unchangeable." Fang Tianqi scoffed. "This inheritance is better given to me than to a stupid woman destined to betray him!"
·
As for whether the protagonist can recover if he loses this flower?
What does that have to do with him!
Isn't he the main character? If he loses one opportunity, shouldn't he have other opportunities in the future?
Besides, Fang Tianqi felt that the protagonist should thank him.
·
The protagonist later focused on cultivation and was not very interested in alchemy, so he rarely attempted it.
By chance, he accidentally revealed a rare elixir, which attracted the attention of a certain force that had been pursuing the Pill King Mu Changsheng for many years. They even sent their family's proud daughter to seduce the protagonist.
The protagonist had just come of age when he suddenly encountered such a charming woman and was quickly attracted to her. Amidst her gentle sighs and melancholy, he even took the initiative to give her the inheritance of the Pill King.
However, this woman not only changed her attitude immediately after receiving the inheritance and left, but also married a powerful man who was old enough to be her ancestor as a concubine, and humiliated the protagonist.
The protagonist suffered a great blow and became increasingly unable to trust others.
Fang Tianqi thought: Without this inheritance, the protagonist wouldn't be deceived by women, wouldn't suffer such a blow, and would continue to believe in love... He has done a great deed!
·
Of course, Fang Tianqi would be even happier if the protagonist could not be restored.
He didn't remember the protagonist having many opportunities. If the protagonist couldn't intervene, wouldn't he be able to get them for free?
Fang Tianqi wasn't too worried about that damned Fang Tianzong.
Anyway, not long after the original owner died, Fang Tianzong was targeted by the villain.
The villain ripped out Fang Tianzong's heart, causing him to die a gruesome death.
The protagonist originally wanted to avenge his best friend, but soon found himself in a dilemma.
Because the villain was actually the protagonist's uncle, who was already dead!
Before the protagonist could even feel joy, he was overcome with immense pain.
Before the protagonist went to question his uncle, he unexpectedly discovered Fang Tianzong's true colors.
At this moment, the protagonist's thoughts, which had been clouded by brotherhood, began to wander, and he found more clues.
Although the protagonist cared deeply for his good friend, evil is evil, so he revealed everything.
Then the Fang family was disgraced.
Those forces that had been deceived by the Fang family and were on good terms with them were furious and rallied together to attack the Fang family.
The Fang family's immense power quickly vanished.
·
Fang Tianqi only vaguely remembered that the protagonist's uncle was terrifying and a madman.
But if a madman can kill Fang Tianzong, then he's a pretty good madman!
Fang Tianqi's plan was to use the Two-Life Flower to please the ancestor, and to cultivate the Pill King's inheritance himself.
Even if the Twin Flowers can only extend life by a hundred years, a hundred years is still long enough.
The inheritance of the Pill King will make him receive some attention and he will no longer be made a scapegoat.
When the incident occurs, the Fang family can simply hand Fang Tianzong over.
At the very least, if he publicized Fang Tianzong's affairs earlier, the Fang family would be more willing to uphold justice and turn against their own relatives, thus paving the way for his future.
The Fang family should also thank him.
This saved the entire clan from annihilation.
He even saved the villains some effort.
Fang Tianzong is dead. The villain can just dig out his heart and that's it. How convenient!
·
Fang Tianqi went through the whole story again and, finding nothing amiss, slowly walked down the mountain.
He pondered whether he should go check on the protagonist, since this mountain range wasn't far from where the protagonist was currently staying.
Or, he could take advantage of the protagonist's young age to get to know him and become friends with him.
If the protagonist recovers in the future, Fang Tianqi can completely replace Fang Tianzong's position in the story, and he won't cause conflict between the protagonist and his crazy uncle... If nothing unexpected happens, they can be best friends for life.
Thinking of this, Fang Tianqi turned and walked in another direction.
No rush, let's go take a look first.
Anyway, he's just taking a break. If the protagonist can't recover in a short time, he can just keep putting up with it.
It's not really that troublesome...
·
On a different, distant road, opposite to Fang Tianqi's.
A little girl, about five or six years old, sat in the carriage, resting her chin on her hand and looking out the window.
The carriage is a level three mystical artifact, and it is very fast.
The little girl only watched the countless mountains pass by, her eyes filled with verdant greenery.
The driver was a gaunt old man.
The old man remained expressionless, quietly directing the two tiger-footed horses.
These rare animals pull carriages extremely smoothly, without the slightest bump even when traveling tens of thousands of miles a day.
·
The little girl didn't speak to the old man, only frowned and sighed softly. A touch of melancholy seemed to shroud her beautiful eyes, giving her an indescribable charm—when she grows up a little more, she will surely be an unparalleled beauty.
However, this future beauty was secretly grumbling to herself.
This is unbelievable! Is she really not as good as Duan Yuehua, the love-obsessed character in the original book?
