Chapter 53: Second Senior
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Facing his two seniors, Fang Yuan did not hide anything, directly narrating the story.
“It seems that he was jealous and started the trouble first. Sigh, Junior, you shouldn’t have agreed to it.”
Zhao Hede was more concerned about Fang Yuan’s safety. Gu Zhenren had passed this junior to him. After hearing about this matter, he could not sit idly by.
“There’s no harm in agreeing.”
The handsome youth interjected, “Junior, do you want me to stand up for you? I guarantee that Zhang Wenbin won’t even dare to say a word in front of me.”
Fang Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Seniors, there’s no need to worry. There’s still a month’s time. I believe that under Master’s guidance, it won’t be difficult to defeat him.”
“That’s true.”
Zhao Hede nodded in agreement. “After master finds out about this, he will definitely lend you a hand.”
With that said, both of them felt much more at ease and began to travel around the main peak together.
While chatting, Fang Yuan found out that his second senior’s name was Su Can, and he wasn’t a proper spirit cultivator either. He mainly cultivated talisman techniques and medicinal pills.
Although he had to rely on Gu worms, his realm was not very high, just like First Senior’s.
However, as a disciple of Gu Zhenren, he naturally had his own quirks.
After a conversation, he learnt many things that he had never heard of before.
Second Senior held a stack of dark yellow talisman paper and took out the first one. On it, there were symbols that others could not understand.
“This talisman is called Heaven Suppression. I created it two years ago. After activating it, it can seal the spiritual essence of any cultivator below the eighth layer of the Fusion Realm. However, you have to be careful not to seal yourself. This takes effect in a limited area. It does not differentiate between friend and foe.”
Then came the second one.
“This talisman is called Boundless Swords. As its name implies, after activating it with spiritual essence, it can trigger a rain of countless swords to slash the enemy. It is very suitable for a battle with many people.”
Then there was the third talisman.
“This talisman is called the Sun Breaker. How about it? Doesn’t it sound domineering? Let me tell you, its effects are even more domineering. It can magnify the spiritual essence you inject into it by ten times, greatly increasing its lethality.”
Fang Yuan nodded repeatedly as he listened. “This is amazing.”
“I like to study these things. There are also so-called functional pills…”
Zhao Hede tilted his head and glanced at him. His eyes were full of vicissitudes. “Sigh, just don’t help him test the medicine.”
“First Senior, I’m not happy to hear you say that. Why would I harm my fellow disciples?”
Su Can was instantly unhappy. His medicine had to pass through a sufficiently strong person to determine the range of its effects. What if he scared his junior away.
“Hahah, hahahahaha…”
Zhao Hede’s smile was very cold.
Only when the sun had set and the three of them had almost finished touring the main peak did they stop.
“How is it? Junior, there are so many beautiful scenic spots on the main peak. Where do you want to live?” Zhao Hede asked.
Fang Yuan slowly shook his head. “There’s no rush. I don’t think I’ll have time to move things over in the next two days. I’ll have to leave the sect again in the near future.”
“Is it convenient to tell us where you’re going?”
“The Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm?”
“Oh?”
Su Can was suspicious, “Is it the relic left behind by the fire attribute tribulation transcending expert near Fanshu City?”
“Yes, it’s that one.”
Zhao Hede frowned, his gaze focused, and his pupils flashed with a bright light. Fang Yuan immediately felt as if he was seen through.
Then he heard Zhao Hede ask, “Junior, you are only at the first layer of the Enlightenment Realm, why are you going there to join in the fun?”
“I am just looking for the Sunlight Gu in the outer area, I do not plan to go deep.”
“This matter needs to be discussed with master.”
Zhao Hede shook his head. “The restrictions set up by the tribulation transcending expert are beyond your imagination, not to mention that the Mystic Realm is abnormally rich in spiritual essence. The Gu worms there are much stronger than those in the outside world. With your strength, you might not be able to deal with them even if you just wander around the outer area.”
Su Can also agreed. “Junior, although you are also master’s disciple, as a senior, I still have to say something. The Enlightenment Realm is only the first step on the path of cultivation, you have to think carefully.”
Just like what Su Can said, the Enlightenment Realm was the true beginning for a Gu master.
The previous Body Refinement and Foundation Establishment were only to lay a foundation for the future.
After Fang Yuan advanced, he could clearly feel that his Gu worms’ cultivation progress was growing very slowly.
Even though his efficiency had increased, in these few days, his progress had not even reached 10%.
This meant that the further he advanced his realm, the harder it would be to advance.
In contrast, the suppression brought by the difference in realm was even more obvious.
It would become more and more difficult to cross realms and fight enemies later on.
Being at the first layer of the Enlightenment Realm, he had just reached the threshold to enter the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm.
The primeval Gu worms inside were extremely powerful after absorbing the spiritual essence left behind by the tribulation transcending expert for many years.
This was also the reason why the two seniors advised him.
“I understand what you said, seniors.”
Fang Yuan laughed bitterly. “Actually, perhaps this is Master’s order.”
Hearing this, both of them showed puzzled expressions.
“How is that possible, our Gu Immortal Sect has sent people to the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm before. The younger generation’s inner sect disciples have all died, why would master send you to your death?”
Fang Yuan told them about Wan Qian cold poison entering his body and the sect asking him to help.
The two seniors understood and did not try to persuade him.
“This should be because master wants to use this opportunity to train you, but he definitely does not mean now.”
Zhao Hede thought for a moment and said, “Master will personally guide you in the next few days. When your cultivation improves, you might be able to deal with the Gu worms in the outer area.”
Fang Yuan nodded. “That’s the only way.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? You still have your second senior here.”
Su Can patted his chest and took out the talismans from before. He stuffed them together with a few bottles of pills into Fang Yuan’s hands. “Come, take them all. You might need them.”
“This…”
“Don’t be shy. We are fellow disciples, and we’re under the same master. Why shouldn’t we share?”
Fang Yuan was touched and said sincerely, “Thank you, Second Senior.”
“I think there’s still something missing.”
Su Can thought for a while and took out a talisman from his pocket. He looked at it and finally showed a trace of reluctance. However, after hesitating for a moment, he handed it to Fang Yuan happily.
“Come, Junior, take this too.”
“This is?”
Zhao Hede laughed, “This talisman is called Divine Escape. It can travel through space and it is your second senior’s treasure. I didn’t expect him to give it to you today.”
Fang Yuan was about to say something, but Su Can held his shoulder.
He waved his hand indifferently, “As long as I’m still alive, I’ll have a chance to make another of this talisman. It’s nothing compared to Junior’s safety, but you still have to be careful.”
“Although this Divine Escape talisman is powerful, due to its quality, it can only let you escape a certain distance. Moreover, it will consume a large amount of spiritual essence. Don’t use it unless you have no other choice.”
“I understand.”
