Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?
Fang Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat.
After all, Shopkeeper Ba had fallen into his hands, and he had gained considerable benefits from it, including a surge in his cultivation base in a short ti.
Could it be that they've discovered ?
Probably not.
Things were handled cleanly at the ti, and everything was left in modern society. If they had truly found out, it wouldn't be this kind of reception.
Fang Zheng muttered in his heart and followed the other party honestly to the backyard.
"Miss." The middle-aged scholar stood at the door, bowed, and said:
"The person has been brought."
"Hmm." A gentle female voice ca from the room:
"Let him in."
As expected.
The expert who appeared that night.
"Yes."
The middle-aged man opened the door and gestured for Fang Zheng to enter.
The room was divided by a screen, which depicted birds in flight. Through the screen, only a hazy, graceful figure could be seen, seemingly grooming her long hair.
"Miss."
Fang Zheng cupped his hands, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant:
"May I know the reason for calling on Fang?"
Although the other's cultivation was high, she seed not much older than himself, perhaps even younger, so addressing her as "Miss" should be no issue.
"Fang Zheng..." The hazy figure slightly turned, looking through the screen; her voice lingered:
"Appeared suddenly more than two years ago in Gu'an County, with origins unknown, suspected to be from a noble family, and recently attained the Three-Blood Cultivation Base."
"Befriended Zhang Mingrui, a disciple of the Pure Yang Palace, and learned so Talismanic Magic."
"Is it so?"
"I am but an ordinary commoner, unworthy of Miss' investigation." Fang Zheng frowned slightly and said:
"As for being a mber of a noble family, it is utter nonsense."
"Is that so?" The female voice was noncommittal:
"It doesn't matter."
She continued:
"My surna is Chen, and those around call Jiuniang, you may do the sa."
Chen Jiuniang?
"Jiuniang." Fang Zheng asked again:
"May I know why you called on Fang?"
"I heard you are seeking the Vein-Protecting Pill, presumably for preparing to advance to the Martial Master Realm?" Jiuniang spoke slowly, her voice gentle:
"Do you need assistance?"
"This…" Fang Zheng hesitated:
"No need to trouble Jiuniang, I've already found a way."
"That's good." Jiuniang nodded:
"At your current age, if your foundation is solid, there is a good chance to break through to the Martial Artist Realm. I will be staying here for so ti, feel free to find if you have any cultivation issues."
?
Fang Zheng looked up, puzzled.
The other's warmth was sowhat unsettling given they were strangers.
"Heh…" Jiuniang lightly chuckled, seeing his expression, and said:
"Soone saw Young Master Fang perform a Saber Technique, with subtle thunder accompanying the strokes, suggesting you have cultivated the Elental Thunder Skill, correct?"
Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow.
In recent days, he had been scouring with the Anxi Army, inevitably revealing so skills, surprising that he had been noticed.
Such things could not be hidden; thus, he nodded and said:
"Fortuitously, I grasped a little."
"Remarkable!"
Jiuniang sighed lightly:
"The Elental Thunder Skill is part of the Ancient Divine Treasure's Dharma Gate, and the specific cultivation thod has long been lost; few succeed in cultivating it."
"Does Young Master Fang have an interest in subsequent Dharma Gates?"
"The complete Elental Thunder Skill could lead one to beco a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Master of Daoist Arts."
"Subsequent Dharma Gates?" Fang Zheng's eyes slightly moved, and he said:
"Naturally, there's interest, but given my capabilities, achieving Martial Master is uncertain; I dare not hope for subsequent Dharma Gates."
As for a Martial Arts Grandmaster or Master of Daoist Arts, who knows when that might happen.
"Don't be too humble." Jiuniang's voice grew serious:
"Young Master Fang's mastery of the Elental Thunder Skill already sets you apart, and a Martial Artist should have pride; why not aim higher."
"Lose that drive, and you won't beco a Martial Artist."
"Yes." Fang Zheng nodded:
"I am enlightened."
"I may have spoken too severely." Jiuniang's voice softened; she raised her delicate hand, and an item crossed the screen, landing on the table by Fang Zheng's side:
"This is a gift for the young master."
"The 'Nine Thunders Secret' whose author is unknown, contains detailed explanations of the Elental Thunder Skill, which may assist Young Master Fang."
"Nine Thunders Secret?"
Fang Zheng picked up the book, flipped through it slightly, and his expression beca extrely serious.
If the Elental Thunder Skill is a student's textbook, then this "Nine Thunders Secret" is the teacher's manual.
Inside, it offers comprehensive explanations of the Elental Thunder Skill.
Receiving it,
could avoid many detours.
So aspects, without guidance, would never cross one's mind; this gift is too significant.
"Jiuniang."
Fang Zheng looked toward the screen, solemnly saying:
"For such a generous gift, may I ask what you wish for Fang to do?"
"There's nothing you need to do." Jiuniang said:
"Just cultivate with peace of mind and master True Qi to beco a Martial Artist soon."
Hmm?
Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow.
"Of course."
Jiuniang continued:
"If Young Master Fang reaches the Realm of the Three Thunders, please co to the Prefecture City to find ; there will be an opportunity, perhaps with the subsequent Dharma Gates for the Elental Thunder Skill."
Realm of the Three Thunders?
After achieving Martial Artist with the Elental Thunder Skill, there are nine divisions of thunder, with the Realm of the Three Thunders being the Great Success of Minor Circulation, and the nine thunders representing Flawless Perfection.
Fang Zheng understood.
It seems that she needs a Martial Artist who has mastered the Elental Thunder Skill for so task, hence seeking him and offering the Dharma Gate.
But the reason?
However, it seems currently harmless, and Jiuniang even wishes for him to achieve Martial Artist soon to proceed with the task.
This is indeed the case.
Chen Jiuniang's reason for coming here is both to escort goods and to find soone who can master the Elental Thunder Skill.
Initially, her target was not Fang Zheng.
By chance.
That person disappeared, and Fang Zheng unexpectedly mastered the Elental Thunder Skill, thus she revealed herself, extended an olive branch, and presented the Dharma Gate to demonstrate goodwill.
