Free Web NovelChapter 322: Chapter 79: The Next Peak Master of Demon Lion Peak
Fang Cheng and Cang Wuya traveled back to Great Black Mountain without incident, then returned to Demon Lion Peak via the Teleportation Array.
The first thing he did upon his return was find Lu Wei and take out all the various Spiritual Medicines and seeds he had collected.
For a Spirit Plant Master, the shock and awe of suddenly being confronted by so many rare, precious medicines was immense.
She immediately busied herself, sorting the Spiritual Medicines by type. She transplanted them one by one into the medicinal fields she had prepared in the Grotto Heaven Spiritual Building and planted the seeds Fang Cheng had brought back.
Fang Cheng was not skilled in this art, so he could only watch as she used a Secret Technique, working wonders and causing the various Spiritual Medicines to radiate with renewed vitality.
For a time, the entire medicinal field surged with iridescent light and auspicious radiance, a dazzling display of phenomena.
Lu Wei curiously asked about the origin of these precious medicines, but Fang Cheng only briefly mentioned the Wilderness Domain and didn’t say much more.
Lu Wei tactfully asked no more.
Her greatest passion in life was tending to flowers, herbs, and Spiritual Medicines, and cultivating Spirit Plants. For Fang Cheng to bring back so many rare treasures was a truly wonderful and unexpected surprise. Outside of her cultivation, she now poured nearly all her heart and soul into the medicinal fields.
Now that all the Spiritual Medicines required for the Black Tortoise Divine Pill and Vermilion Bird Divine Pill prescriptions were gathered, the first priority was to cultivate a medicinal field with a stable yield. Refining the Divine Pills would come only after that.
Fang Cheng stayed with Lu Wei for a few days before spending tender and intimate moments with his other wives one by one, enjoying the warmth of their shared chambers.
He gave the Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit he had brought from the Sanzong Mountain Secret Realm to Ye Yan, so she could use it to cultivate the Supreme Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Evil-Slaying Secret Scroll.
After obtaining the fruit, with him acting as her Guardian, she entered the Enlightenment Realm as expected.
In just five days, she comprehended a top-tier Divine Technique from the Profound Skill: the Profound Lady Dharma Body.
This was a Body Refining Divine Technique. After mastering it, Ye Yan’s skin became like ice and her bones like jade, and she was shrouded in an immortal aura. Her physical strength shot up to rival Fang Cheng’s, becoming comparable to a Second-Order Magical Artifact!
Although she still looked like a delicate woman, her strength was so great that even Fang Cheng was taken aback.
Another seven or eight days passed, and she mastered another Divine Technique from the Profound Skill: the Taiqing Divine Light.
Only then did the Enlightenment Fruit dissolve into a radiant glow and dissipate.
Ye Yan experienced the thrill of rapidly mastering Divine Techniques and couldn’t help but feel a bit giddy. She said to Fang Cheng, "Husband, if I were to spar with Mother now, who do you think would win?"
Fang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "If you were on Xiaocang Island, you still wouldn’t be a match for Mother. But off Xiaocang Island, it’s hard to say."
Madam Ye’s Cultivation Technique was too ordinary. Faced with a top-tier Cultivation Technique and Divine Techniques like the Supreme Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Evil-Slaying Secret Scroll, which pointed directly to the Tribulation Realm, she would be easily defeated.
"Then I’ll have to go back and ask Mother for some pointers another day." Ye Yan was in a great mood. She then said to Fang Cheng, "Husband, now that several of us are pregnant, it’s getting a bit difficult for Die’Er to serve us all by herself. Why don’t we find a few more Maids for the residence?"
Fang Cheng had no objection and nodded. "You can handle that. When the children are born, we will indeed need more people to look after them."
Hearing this, Ye Yan chuckled lightly. "Then I’ll give the Ye Family instructions. All the branches of the clan are dying to send their finest daughters over. Also, do you remember that Senior Brother Liu from the outer sect all those years ago? His daughter has grown up too."
Fang Cheng said, "Of course I remember. I wonder how they’re doing now."
Back then, when Liu Shiyan’s daughter had her one-month celebration, it was he who had given her a name. Now, more than a decade had passed. The baby in swaddling clothes must have grown into a graceful young lady by now.
Ye Yan said, "A few years ago, he and his wife both broke through to the Life Talisman realm. As they wished, they found an island and are preparing to establish a family. Not long ago, he came to me and said he wanted to send his daughter, Liu Miaoyin, to be a Maid. That’s when I realized we should hire more people for the residence."
Fang Cheng wasn’t interested in such trivial matters, but chatting idly with his beautiful wife had a certain heartwarming charm.
The two chatted for a while, after which he took out the Female Sword Immortal’s Second-Order Magical Artifact, the Spirit Beast Jade Token, and gave it to Ye Yan.
Ye Yan probed it with her Divine Sense and couldn’t help but laugh. "Since when did your Big Cyan Bird switch careers to become a storyteller?"
Fang Cheng took a curious look as well. Inside the space of the Spirit Beast Jade Token, Cang Wuya was chattering nonstop to the seven Cyan Simurghs and a flock of Immortal Cranes, all of whom were listening with rapt attention.
Although the seven Cyan Simurghs were still bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, their moods seemed to have stabilized considerably.
Fang Cheng shot a ray of spiritual light at the jade token, and Cang Wuya was immediately enveloped in a cloud of mist and flew out.
"Master."
Cang Wuya came to its senses, immediately shrank in size, and bowed to Fang Cheng and Ye Yan.
Fang Cheng asked, "How are things going with you and those seven Cyan Simurghs?"
Cang Wuya said respectfully, "Reporting to Master, I have pacified them and warned them to serve you by pulling your carriage. If they have any disloyal thoughts, they will be refined to ash by your Divine Techniques. They are aware of your immense power and have all submitted."
Fang Cheng smiled. "Good. From now on, these Cyan Simurghs and Immortal Cranes are under your management. In the future, when I travel with my dao companions, you will be in charge of the arrangements."
Cang Wuya nodded and accepted the order, feeling secretly delighted.
This way, it would have more opportunities to slowly win over those seven cold, arrogant, and aloof Cyan Simurghs.
Back on Moon Phoenix Mountain, it had tried to show off its knowledge to win the favor of one of the Cyan Simurghs. Unexpectedly, that particular Cyan Simurgh was in an irritable mood and lashed out on the spot, trying to take its frustrations out on Cang Wuya.
After blocking a few attacks, Cang Wuya was ganged up on by the Cyan Simurgh and its sisters.
Now that the seven Cyan Simurghs had been captured by Fang Cheng, Cang Wuya had used a carrot-and-stick approach inside the Spirit Beast Jade Token. Through a combination of threats, temptations, and its own profound knowledge, it had managed to awe the seven naive Cyan Simurghs.
