Free Web NovelChapter 584: Chapter 43: Benefits (Part 2)
Hmm?
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Instant teleportation?
Void Shifting?
What kind of magic is this?
Masters and Martial Sects can fly and escape quickly, faster than lightning, yet they don’t have the skill of Void Shifting.
The ability to shift through the void, in Master Jiuyuan’s memory, even among the world’s top escape techniques, secret techniques, and arrays, only a few can achieve it.
With this method alone, facing a strong enemy like Zhou Qi, one could stand invincible!
But there should be limitations as well, otherwise, he could go anywhere effortlessly and wouldn’t need to guard Fengdu Ghost City, fearing a Black Mountain attack.

This battle,
The Black Mountain Evil Dao suffered heavy losses.
Flower Ghost Guan Suo died, many key evil cultivators were killed, and even the Ghost King Mountain Monarch was reportedly severely injured and wouldn’t appear for a while...
Fengdu City’s side, lying in wait and setting up a big net, although sustaining some inevitable losses, were not significantly harmed.
The main battle experts did not suffer a single death.
It was truly a great victory for the entire field!
The Bone Ship was damaged by the Mountain Monarch, but fortunately, it still could fly, and after a brief tidy-up, the group continued on their way.
Fang Zheng killed the Ox-headed and Horse-faced, obtaining the Soul-Summoning Banner, Mourning Stick, and some Yin Materials.
By the same cultivation level, it was considered a substantial haul.
Using the acquired items to exchange for materials with others, within a few days, Ma Chao’s cultivation needs were completely fulfilled.
"Brother Fang!"
Ding Li approached with a smile and gestured with his hand:
"Let me introduce you to some friends."
"This is Fellow Daoist Li Qian from Beimei Town, this is the renowned Evil Sword Yun Zheng who trained in the Martial Dao, and this is..."
"Greetings to Fellow Daoist Fang!"
"Brother Fang!"
"..."
Everyone repeatedly cupped their hands, full of enthusiasm.
Fang Zheng was already used to it, cupping his hands in salute and responding one by one, while taking out some food to entertain them.
When one attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
The two Judges had already said that once Ma Ning refined the Inner Core within her, at worst, she would become a Mage.
Even...
She might retain fifty percent of Flower Ghost Guan Suo’s mana.
Which means, directly leaping to become a master who has cultivated the Yama Heart Sutra to the seventh level.
Considering Ma Ning’s current age, becoming the Fengdu Judge is just around the corner, and she might even aspire to enter the Ghost King Realm.
Fang Zheng is her master, so his status naturally rises as well; these days, people have been coming to visit continuously.
They just want to establish a connection first.
"I heard Fellow Daoist Fang is looking for body-tempering items."
Evil Sword Yun Zheng took something from his arms and handed it over:
"This is a body-tempering ointment passed down in Yun Mou’s family, applying it during martial practice brings great benefits."
"It can also repair external injuries."
"A small gesture, I hope you accept it."
"How can I accept this?" Fang Zheng repeatedly declined.
"Sigh!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand:
"It’s not worth much, Fellow Daoist Fang, please don’t refuse; could it be you dislike Yun Mou’s small contribution?"
"I wouldn’t dare." Fang Zheng politely accepted it:
"Then, thank you very much!"
"Haha..." Yun Zheng laughed heartily:
"That’s how it should be!"
......
"Here."
After everyone else had left, Fang Zheng handed the ointment to Ma Chao and dripped a diluted drop of Monkey Wine.
"Apply it externally and use it internally, and practice the Five Paths of Evil ten to eight times tonight to not waste the potion’s power."
"..." Ma Chao’s cheek muscles twitched, then nodded heavily:
"Yes, Master!"
These days, he has been enduring blissful torment.
Every day, there are spiritual medicines for body tempering and spirit wine providing essence; initially, he was very excited, but gradually found it overwhelming, yet dared not slack, so he could only train tirelessly.
His strength improved rapidly, but his spirit felt somewhat suffocated.
Especially that Monkey Wine.
This wine is originally a spiritual medicine that even the flawless and Martial Sects can consume, and even when diluted, it still contains abundant essence.
Now that there’s an excuse to take it, there’s no need to be stingy.
But it made Ma Chao suffer.
Forcing himself to endure physical hardship to expend the potion’s power.
"We are about to reach Fengdu City."
Fang Zheng spoke:
"Once in Fengdu City, there will be at most half a month of rest. Before that, if you cannot break through the Yama Heart Sutra to the second level, even if you enter the Inner City, you won’t receive true inheritance."
"If nothing goes wrong, your sister will have other arrangements. If you want to see her often, you need to work harder."
Ma Ning receiving the Inner Core means they can also enter the Inner City.
But the Inner City is also differentiated.
Those like them, who enter alongside, simply live; only those who enter by their ability receive support from Fengdu City’s resources and can focus all their energy on cultivation.
"Yes."
Ma Chao took a deep breath, removed his clothes to apply the ointment on himself, and after finishing, took the Monkey Wine.
Instantly.
His body was filled with surging Qi and Blood, and his flesh was tempered.
Five Paths of Evil!
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh swoosh!"
Ma Chao’s figure flipped, practicing martial arts with each move and gesture, eyes focused, his aura like boiling oil on fire.
Hmm...
Fang Zheng slowly nodded.
Although Ma Chao is not as smart as his sister, having a straightforward mind, this personality is actually well-suited for martial practice.
Whatever the master instructs, he can complete it no matter how bitter or tiring it is.
Martial techniques, through repeated practice, easier transform into instinct.
Judging by his progress, there should be no problem breaking through the Yama Heart Sutra to the second level before the Fengdu City selection starts.
......
Night.
The ship landed.
Apart from the patrol team, most people had already rested.
Fang Zheng set up a separate tent, sitting cross-legged, deep in thought when he suddenly looked outside.
"Swoosh!"
At that moment, the tent was gently opened, and a graceful, warm, fair body silently slipped into the bedding.
"Fellow Daoist Fang."
"The long night is endless, and I can’t sleep. Do you mind if I come over to chat and talk about the heart?"
Fang Zheng turned his head to look at the visitor.
The Fengdu Territory is cold and the Yama Secret Realm is chilly, most of the people and cultivators here have pale and bloodless skin.
