“Cheng'er!” Although the gentle voice of his father, Fang Qingshan, was right beside him, to Fang Chen, it felt as if it had leaped across several Centuries, with memories of the past vividly presenting themselves before his eyes!
In his previous life, he was weak-willed, disliked fighting, and had always been disinterested in cultivation. The fact that he had managed to reach the fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm at this time was solely due to his father's urging. His lack of interest in cultivation had always been a source of worry for his father.
After the Flower Boat Incident, his complete downfall had further broken his father's heart. Yet even so, when the Fang Family was annihilated, his father still mustered his last breath to warn him. Such paternal love was only realized in loss; the previous Fang Chen regretted it for a lifetime.
At this moment, looking at his father standing alive before him, Fang Chen wanted to greet him and say something, but the lump in his throat made it impossible to utter a word. Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably!
Seeing Fang Chen's unusual behavior, Fang Qingshan, who was already worried, was taken aback and hurried forward: “Cheng'er, are you alright? Why did you suddenly faint? And what about that black blood... you scared your father! Never mind, if you truly dislike cultivation, I won't force you to practice anymore.”
Filled with concern, Fang Qingshan assumed that Fang Chen's condition was due to his reluctance to train and felt that he must be feeling wronged.
“No, Father, it's not like that...” Upon hearing this, Fang Chen's expression changed as he quickly began to explain.
Although he had not liked cultivation in his previous life, how could he feel the same now? He hoped to provide some comfort to his father, who wished for him to succeed. This was what his father had longed for but never achieved until death.
“So you're saying that yesterday's fainting was due to being overly anxious.” Fang Qingshan furrowed his brows but soon relaxed them and said joyfully: “Good! A son of the Fang Family should be like this. However, cultivation cannot be rushed; being too impatient is not good. I have some spirit stones here; take one and use it.”
As he spoke, Fang Qingshan flipped his hand over, revealing a stone about the size of an egg, translucent and emitting a faint milky white glow.
Spirit stones are extremely beneficial for assisting cultivation; however, even within the Fang Family, they are precious items. Someone of Fang Qingshan's status would not possess many spirit stones and would typically use them only when breaking through realms. Using them for regular training would be too extravagant.
Looking at the spirit stone in his hand, Fang Chen felt even more deeply the care his father had for him. As warmth surged in his heart, he was about to speak. However, at that moment, his expression suddenly changed as a faint gray gas appeared on the surface of the originally translucent spirit stone, bringing with it a chilling aura.
“Eerie Energy!” Fang Chen's pupils contracted.
Eerie Energy is a particularly troublesome negative energy that once it enters a warrior's body acts like a slow-acting poison; it accumulates over time and damages the warrior's body. Once it erupts, it can directly threaten the warrior's life!
This strand of Eerie Energy hidden within the spirit stone is invisible and difficult to sense. If it weren't for the sudden movement of the Vital Energy within him earlier, he might not have discovered it at all. Clearly, Fang Qingshan had not noticed it either.
“This…” Looking at the Yin Death Energy emanating from the spirit stone, Fang Qingshan's expression changed drastically. At this point, how could he not realize that this batch of spirit stones he had just acquired was problematic? If he allowed Fang Chen to cultivate with such spirit stones, it would be tantamount to suicide. With this thought in mind, Fang Qingshan's face turned ashen!
“Treasure Pavilion! ” Fang Qingshan spat out angrily.
The Treasure Pavilion, a well-known trading place in Fengyan City, sells spirit stones, medicinal herbs, and even some martial arts techniques. The entity behind the Treasure Pavilion is the Wang family. The batch of spirit stones that Fang Qingshan obtained came from there.
"Treasure Pavilion, the Wang Family, Spirit Stones, Yin Death Energy..." At the same time that Fang Qingshan was furious, Fang Chen, hearing the words "Treasure Pavilion," murmured to himself, his eyes flickering with light as he recalled various events from his past life. He felt as if he had discovered something in the dark, yet he couldn't grasp it.
Suddenly, Fang Chen's body trembled, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"Absolute Yin Realm!" Fang Chen cried out in his heart, unable to suppress his excitement as his body shook.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the true reason for the downfall of the Wang Family in his past life was not what the rumors suggested!
Although the Wang Family could not compare to the Fang Family, they were still one of the prominent families in Fengyan City, with several strong practitioners at the Qi Boundary. However, even so, in his past life, the Wang Family was wiped out overnight by a mysterious force.
The reason for this was said to be that the Wang Family discovered a Spirit Mine and secretly mined it, ultimately bringing disaster upon themselves. The preciousness of Spirit Stones was enough to make many martial artists envious; as for Spirit Mines, they were not something families like the Fang or Wang could touch. It was quite normal for the Wang Family to be exterminated overnight for secretly mining a Spirit Mine.
But now, Fang Chen knew that these were merely deceptive excuses to cover up what lay beneath the Spirit Mine...
"Absolute Yin Realm!" Fang Chen was ten percent certain that beneath this Spirit Mine discovered by the Wang Family must lie an Absolute Yin Realm. Only if there was an Absolute Yin Realm below would the Spirit Stones within the Spirit Mine contain a trace of Yin Death Energy!
The so-called Absolute Yin Realm was not a good place; on the contrary, it was a truly dangerous land. The pervasive Yin Death Energy could easily annihilate many martial artists without them even realizing it. However, extremes often lead to opposites; deep within the Absolute Yin Realm, there were often Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Treasures that were extremely pure and Yang.
These Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Treasures were what many martial artists sought after; even those at the Heavenly Realm would be tempted by them. This was because they provided immense benefits to martial artists—not only could they enhance cultivation strength but they could also be life-saving in critical moments.
At least in his past life, during his quest for revenge, Fang Chen had considered targeting the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Treasures within the Absolute Yin Realm; he just hadn't found them because Absolute Yin Realms were too rare.
"There are still two months left." Reflecting on when the Wang Family fell in his past life, Fang Chen clenched his fist tightly. He needed to obtain the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Treasures within the Absolute Yin Realm before that group of powerful mysterious individuals arrived!
This was extremely important for him as he urgently needed to restore his cultivation strength from his past life. Moreover, refining those Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Treasures into pills would greatly benefit his family members around him.
After a brief contemplation, Fang Chen decided not to tell his father about these matters. The more people who knew about these treasures, the worse it would be; it could even bring disaster upon the Fang Family. It was better for him to act quietly on his own.
"Father need not be angry. Since we already know that these Spirit Stones contain Yin Death Energy, we just need to refine it away," Fang Chen comforted Fang Qingshan, whose face had turned dark. Then he changed his tone and smiled as he continued:
"Moreover, using these Spirit Stones containing Yin Death Energy as an excuse will allow you to strike hard against the Wang Family." Fang Qingshan managed most of the Fang Family's businesses and had had friction with the Wang Family for quite some time.
Upon hearing this, Fang Qingshan looked at the composed Fang Chen and smiled with satisfaction. He then patted Fang Chen's shoulder and said meaningfully, "Good! My son has finally grown up."
In the same night, within the southern courtyard of the Fang Family.
In the hall, three figures sat around in the dim candlelight, their expressions flickering in the wavering glow. A heavy, oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire hall.
If Fang Chen were present at this moment, he would surely recognize that these three were none other than the fathers of Fang Haoyun. Fang Nansiao, the second master of the Fang Family, Fang Botao, the third master, and Wang Mingkong from the Wang family.
"Haoyun and the others are in trouble," Fang Nansiao spoke softly, his hoarse voice carrying a chilling undertone. "We have searched everywhere and found not a single clue. Alive or dead, there is no sign of them!"
Beside Fang Nansiao, Wang Mingkong, who had been frowning in deep thought, suddenly changed his expression and said, "This matter might be related to your Fang Family's eldest son, Fang Chen! Before Wuzhou left this morning, he vaguely mentioned him."
"Fang Chen? That useless person who doesn't dare to fight back? How could he possibly..." Fang Botao expressed disbelief. "Moreover, his strength is much weaker than that of Haoyun and the others."
"Regardless of whether he is useless or not, investigate!" Fang Nansiao's face turned cold. "Even if it’s not him, it might be something arranged by my elder brother. Let Qiyang test the waters tomorrow."
"If anyone dares to harm my son, I will ensure they have no descendants!"
