Mu Lin Yuan deeply felt approval.
"Yes, a person who can influence fate, no matter what, is a great talent. Such talent should either be destroyed as soon as possible or be taken for our own use."
"That goes without saying."
Yin Shen Palace said, "The monitoring of Yemo needs to be strengthened in the future. If there is any duplicity, it will be nothing but trouble for us. We must eliminate him with the utmost speed!"
Mu Lin Yuan said, "As for Yemo, for now, there are no such signs. The Sect Hierarch can rest easy."
"Hmph, would I be so indulgent if I wasn’t worried?"
Yin Shen Palace said indifferently, "Why do you think Sun Yuan treats Yemo, his disciple, even better than his own son? Heh, it’s because his son is incompetent, and even if he were, his future prospects are uncertain. Neglect from his father is nothing unusual."
"But Yemo, his disciple, is different. He was handpicked and raised by him. Pampering and helping him in his Cultivation is but one aspect; the most crucial point is... Sun Yuan is walking the sa path. He’s shaping Yemo to be crueler and more unique."
"This way, in the future, the roads available to him are few, and these are the paths Sun Yuan hopes to see."
"And they are also what we hope to see."
"Sun Yuan knows that no matter how hard he tries, his achievents are limited. He also understands that a successful son could keep the family secure for three generations. But a successful disciple could maintain this permanently. If the disciple is successful, and the family doesn’t drag him down... when the ti cos for Yemo to rise in the Main Sect, Sun Yuan’s the Sun Family, within the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s domain, would then be a major powerhouse."
A slight smile appeared on the lips of Yin Shen Palace, he said slowly, "You get it."
Thinking of Yin Shen Palace’s long-term planning, the more Mu Lin Yuan thought about it, the more it seed to hold water.
He couldn’t help but say sourly, "That old fox, Sun Yuan, really has so luck."
Yin Shen Palace said indifferently, "Don’t you as well? When Yemo was baptized into the sect, we were all witnesses, and besides, we all have the affinity of being half ntors."
Mu Lin Yuan’s body shook, "Could it be that the Sect Hierarch had thought of this from the beginning? The Sect Hierarch’s foresight is truly beyond reach!"
Yin Shen Palace had naturally not thought so far ahead at the ti.
The idea gradually erged after Fang Che continuously flattered and demonstrated his value.
But of course, he was not willing to admit that he had not thought of anything. So, revealing an inscrutable smile, he said slowly, "Indeed!"
Mu Lin Yuan’s admiration was evident.
"But this matter must not be known to Yemo."
Yin Shen Palace lifted the Communication Jade in his hand, smiling, "This youngster is currently trying hard to curry favor with ."
Mu Lin Yuan burst into loud laughter, "Let him try to please for a few more years."
Yin Shen Palace also smiled, "Let’s see if he can grow to be my piece. To reach the qualifications I require."
He looked aningfully at Mu Lin Yuan and said softly, "Old Mu, Yemo’s identity must not be exposed. I an, not among us."
"To date, within the Yixin Sect, only six people know of Yemo’s identity, and I hope this number does not increase."
"I understand."
"Because now, at the Guardian’s side, he’s practically exposed. In other words... his path there has been cut off from the start with the incident concerning the Su Family. So, in this regard, there is no need to worry, heh."
Yin Shen Palace laughed with profound aning.
Mu Lin Yuan said in a low voice, "The Sect Hierarch is wise."
"If he can shine in our eyes as an Innate Grandmaster, Old Mu, I might need to trouble you to keep an eye on this little fellow."
Yin Shen Palace said.
"Yes! I will fulfill the Sect Hierarch’s expectations!"
Mu Lin Yuan was overjoyed.
In recent years, his biggest worry was the lack of a successor; his sons and grandsons had died early, and the present mbers of his family were incompetent.
If one day Mu Lin Yuan were to die in battle, he feared the family would be devoured in an instant.
But Yin Shen Palace’s words offered his family a future.
If Yemo could indeed make rapid progress even after becoming an Innate Grandmaster, then...
At that ti, with Mu Lin Yuan’s initial introductions, half-ntor affinity, and subsequent support and protection, when Yemo ascends to a high position, wouldn’t he repay the favor?
At the very least, by then, wouldn’t anyone who wants to move against the Mu Family have to consider Yemo’s reaction?
And this opportunity was in Yin Shen Palace’s hands.
He could choose anyone he wanted for this task.
This was a huge favor—the premise being that what Yin Shen Palace said could co true.
At this mont, Mu Lin Yuan had only one thing on his mind.
Admirer of the Celestial Worm God.
Since ancient tis, only two people.
One is the Sect Leader, and the other is the head seat.
The head seat is now the top master of the Cloud Weapon List!
So, what about Yemo?
...
Fang Che had now seen the reply from Yin Shen Palace, rewarding him with fifty points.
After calculating, it seems my points within the Yixin Sect are almost over seven hundred? Specifically, seven hundred what?
I broke through Grandmaster and just got so points as a reward?
Fang Che was sowhat dissatisfied.
So, he sent another ssage: "Sect Hierarch, I want to contribute. To contribute to the Guardian."
On the other side.
With a slap, Yin Shen Palace threw the Communication Jade on the ground, cursing, "Still wants to contribute, and to the Guardian no less! Does he expect to personally hand over a disciple from the sect for him to score rits? Utterly spoiled and arrogant!"
"Sect Hierarch, at least this youngster isn’t deceiving us, eh? This guy has quite so sches, but they are quite transparent."
Mu Lin Yuan said.
"Of course there’s controllability, but it’s not sothing to take or leave at will!"
Yin Shen Palace said sternly.
Mu Lin Yuan flashed an obsequious smile, "Sect Hierarch, it wouldn’t matter if we give out a few."
Yin Shen Palace glared at the guy who switched sides so quickly, saying irritably, "No!"
After thinking it over, he said, "Are there any small strongholds from the San Sheng Sect, Heavenly God Sect, or Yemo Sect over there? Anyway, he’s already done a lot of that work, might as well let him cut off so more paths in those directions."
Mu Lin Yuan’s spirit was lifted, "I will personally look into it right away!"
His attitude was extrely proactive as he dashed out.
...
Fang Che sent out two self-aggrandizing ssages, to show off his progress and to fully convey that ’impatient young man who starts to boast at the slightest achievent’ vibe, and then solicited a reward.
He wisely stopped sending ssages afterward.
Because he knew that while Yin Shen Palace might have so appreciation for him, it hadn’t reached the point of indulgence.
He had to grasp this sense of asure well.
Even if he were certain Yin Shen Palace had reached the point of indulgence towards him, moderation was still necessary.
For the next two days when he had nothing to do, Fang Che would visit the Dian ji Building whenever he had ti.
But the freely available Cultivation Skills didn’t pique his interest – to him they were quite mundane.
So, that day Fang Che brought a big bag of fruit to the Dian ji Building and found the old instructor guarding the building.
The old man squinted at the fruit for a long ti before asking Fang Che, "What’s this for?"
Fang Che offered an apologetic smile, "I’ve been bothering you for a few days in a row, and we have more fruit at ho than we can eat, so I thought I would offer you so fresh fruit."
The old man chuckled and rolled his eyes, "I’ve seen what you’ve been looking for these past few days. I assu you haven’t found it? You want to seek my help?"
"Yes, yes, you are keen as ever," Fang Che hastened to flatter.
"So you bought all this ordinary fruit?" the old man asked, looking sideways.
"Yes, yes," Fang Che continued with a smile.
"Just this?"
The old man twirled a pear in his hand and then tossed it back into his pocket, "You think you can bribe an official with this?"
Fang Che was left speechless.
"Find it yourself!"
The old man bluntly said, yet he accepted all the fruit, then commanded, "Scram!"
Fang Che’s face contorted.
With no choice left, he reached into his pocket, "I still have..."
"Wait a minute!"
The old man said, "First, tell , what are you looking for?"
"I’m looking for a thod to cultivate the soul body," Fang Che said, "the kind where the body is killed, but the soul remains unhard..."
The old man frowned, "Your words are utterly absurd. The body and the soul are completely connected. To expect the body to perish while the soul remains is entirely impossible. Perhaps at the Martial God Level, it might happen, but that’s because I don’t understand that realm, so I say it’s possible. But I believe it’s not even possible for a Martial God!"
"What is a soul body? What’s the relationship between it and the physical body? Huh? You don’t know? Who is your instructor? How did he teach you?!"
The old man was livid, "One plus one equals two, get it? A person is that two! Understand? Take away one, and the two ceases to exist, you get it?!"
"But when two ceases to exist, aren’t there still two ones left?"
Fang Che was puzzled, "What I’m searching for is one of the remaining ones after the two is gone."
The old man flew into a rage, "How can fur adhere to skin that doesn’t exist? You little rascal, are you here to mock ?"
He said indignantly, "Go back and call your instructor here! I want to ask him how he managed to teach soone like you!"
Fang Che was scolded until lumps ford on his head, "Junior understands, your teaching is correct. You’re right, no need to call the instructor, sir."
Yet seeing the old man’s firm stance also struck Fang Che as odd.
From such a perspective, the soul body should disintegrate on the spot and not continue to exist.
Given that, then when the Golden Horned Flood Dragon escaped into the pool, he had personally witnessed it.
Moreover, 600 years later, he had encountered it again – could that have been untrue?
Now the old man was also staring at him with blazing eyes, and upon seeing Fang Che’s contemplative look, the elder fell into reflection himself.
After a long pause, he humd thoughtfully as if he had rembered sothing, his fingers paused on his beard.
He leaned close to Fang Che’s face, his eyes fiercely locked onto Fang Che’s, "Did you... have you encountered it?"
Fang Che nodded calmly, "Yes, I have."
The old man’s eyes lit up like lightbulbs, and he suddenly stood up, a face full of excitent, "You really encountered it! What kind of Demon Beast was it?"
"How did you know it was a Demon Beast?"
Fang Che was astonished.
"Because only Demon Beasts could possibly experience this phenonon. So Demon Beasts have soul bodies that, due to their cultivation, are contained within their inner cores. As long as the inner core isn’t destroyed when they die, the soul body can exist for a while. But even for higher-level Demon Beasts, after the physical body dies, they cannot survive solely on the soul body. The only possibility is that there is a Yin-preserving place nearby!"
"Like the Graveyard; like the Tongyou Spring!"
"But you must understand, this is called a soul body, not a soul. Souls belong to humans, soul bodies belong to Demon Beasts, got it?"
The old man perked up completely, looking at Fang Che as if he had found treasure, "Damn, you actually encountered a ghost!"
