864: Chapter 864: The Ye Family’s Misfortune 864: Chapter 864: The Ye Family’s Misfortune What exactly Fang Bai and the Pri Minister discussed was known only to the parties involved, and to the leader of the Dragon Guard, Long Jingtian; no one else had any clue.
However, rumors later erged from sowhere that during the eting with Fang Bai, the Pri Minister had hoped that if Fang Bai were to have conflicts with the prominent clans in the future, he would resolve them through peaceful ans or let the relevant departnts handle them.
But Fang Bai rejected this request.
It was said that Fang Bai responded to the Pri Minister with sixteen characters, “If no one offends , I offend no one.
If anyone offends , I shall offend them in return.”
Although the Pri Minister held significant authority and could mobilize various forces to strike at those elents that threatened the stability of Huaxia, he felt helpless against Fang Bai.
This was due to several reasons: first, Fang Bai’s own power was formidable; second, many of Huaxia’s prominent clans and Ancient Martial World powers had close relations with Fang Bai; and third, Fang Bai was a Dragon Guard Instructor, deeply loved by the Dragon Guard mbers, and even the Dragon Guard leader Long Jingtian had great respect for him.
All these factors caused the Pri Minister to feel deep apprehension, not daring to put any pressure on Fang Bai, worried that if he provoked Fang Bai, it might lead to severe consequences that were beyond estimation.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Pri Minister ca to the conclusion that “it is better to offend the prominent clans rather than offend Fang Bai,” and thus began to et one by one with the Family Heads of Huaxia’s prominent clans, urging them to restrain their family mbers from provoking Fang Bai, to avoid repeating the fates of the three major families: the Wang Family of Yanjing, the Shen Family of Anxi, and the Li Family of Donghai.
Following this, so observant citizens of Huaxia noticed that the once haughty and arrogant scions of these powerful families had beco much more subdued and restrained.
It beca rare to see them bullying n and won or getting into fights.
So even began engaging in charitable activities, shedding the label of “spoiled heirs.”
The Pri Minister also found that officials under his command, who ca from these prominent clans, were working more efficiently, were more incorruptible, and carried out his orders with greater seriousness and enthusiasm.
The Pri Minister couldn’t help but reflect in amazent, thinking that although Fang Bai had toppled three major clans, causing so turbulence, he had also greatly deterred the other clans.
From this perspective, the existence of Fang Bai was indeed beneficial to Huaxia.
At this ti, Fang Bai had returned to his normal life, spending each week commuting between Yanjing Hospital, Yanjing dical University, and his ho in Yanjing.
Aside from that, he gathered with friends in Yanjing for als and drinks, or spent ti with a few close female friends enjoying their company.
The rest of his ti was devoted to cultivation.
On his last trip to Anxi to assist Tang Wenrou in investigating a series of murders, Fang Bai unexpectedly ca across a hidden Essence Stone Vein while eliminating Green Zombies and Flurry Zombies.
After further investigation, he discovered that although this Essence Stone Vein was small, it contained enough Essence Stones for cultivation for him and his close friends and confidantes for so ti.
Fang Bai’s cultivation consud more resources than other Martial Artists, and previously he had to control his cultivation pace due to a shortage of resources.
Now, supported by a small Essence Stone Vein and with a large stock of Spiritual dicine in his Spatial Ring, he could cultivate without regard for the cost.
In just two months, almost all of the Spiritual dicine in Fang Bai’s Spatial Ring was depleted, and seven to eight-tenths of the Essence Stones from the small vein he had discovered in the deep mountains near Anxi were used up.
Thanks to the abundance of Essence Stones and Spiritual dicine, Fang Bai’s Cultivation Level skyrocketed within these two months, achieving breakthrough after breakthrough, surpassing the perfection realm of the Absorbing Essence Realm, and stepping into the higher “Refinent Essence Realm.”
The “Refinent Essence Realm” is about refining and compressing one’s True Yuan to make it denser and purer, which multiplies the power of the True Yuan when released.
Upon reaching the Refinent Essence Realm and examining his Qi Sea, Fang Bai found that the Chaos Origin Energy had turned into the size of a fist, emitting an even more terrifying aura.
According to the information Fang Bai had, the Refinent Essence Realm was equivalent to the Desolate Level Realm in the Minor World, and with his ability to challenge beyond his level, once in the Minor World, he could battle any Desolate Level Realm Martial Artist.
In other words, with his current strength, even if he were imdiately transported to the Minor World, he would have a place to stand.
However, Fang Bai did not plan to head to the Minor World just yet, as Desolate Level Martial Artists were ultimately at a disadvantage there.
Moreover, in the Minor World, where the law of the jungle prevailed, and the strong preyed on the weak, Fang Bai was not willing to take the risk of entering without being fully confident in his ability to protect himself.
For Fang Bai, the fall of the Immortal Realm and his rebirth in the mortal world was an opportunity granted by the heavens, one that he had to cherish twice as much.
Although his strength had improved rapidly in the past two months, Fang Bai was not satisfied.
For him, reaching the higher “Surging Essence Realm” was his short-term goal.
Once a Martial Artist reached the “Surging Essence Realm,” they could release their True Yuan energy externally, turning the intangible into tangible, and injuring an opponent from afar.
Only at that realm could Fang Bai manipulate the Water and Fire Primordial Qi within his Qi Sea to refine various kinds of elixirs and Spiritual Artifacts.
Although Fang Bai had almost used up the Spiritual dicines he had, there were still many that had not been harvested in the Hidden Sect.
These dicines could indeed be taken directly, but doing so would not effectively utilize their dicinal properties and would be a waste.
Only by refining them into elixirs could the value of the Spiritual dicines be maximized and be of the greatest benefit to a Martial Artist’s cultivation.
To Fang Bai, it was only by reaching the “Surging Essence Realm” that he would be considered to have touched the threshold of being a Pharmacist and an Artifact Refiner.
In order to reach the “Surging Essence Realm” as soon as possible, Fang Bai was even considering embarking on another journey of experience.
It was at this ti that Fang Bai received surprising news from the Dragon Maiden, news that prompted him to rush to the Ye Family in Lingnan overnight to et Ye Wui.
“Fang Bai, my father has been kidnapped!”
Upon seeing Fang Bai appear before her, Ye Wui felt as if she had seen her pillar of strength, rushing forward with tears welling up in her eyes.
“Fang Bai, I know you are very capable, you must help us…”
Sun Lin followed her daughter out, her eyes red and swollen from crying because her husband had been kidnapped, and she looked much thinner overnight.
“Wui, Auntie, don’t panic, tell slowly…”
Fang Bai comforted the mother and daughter, accompanying them into the Ye Family’s villa living room to inquire about what had happened.
Even though he had already learned so details from the Dragon Maiden, what Ye Wui and her mother would tell him was bound to be more comprehensive.
Moreover, Fang Bai found it quite strange.
Ye Xing was a Profound Level Martial Artist with many strong bodyguards around him.
Who had the capability to kidnap him, and what was their purpose?
“Old Ye was kidnapped last night on his way ho from work; several bodyguards were killed.
The kidnappers took Old Ye and left a letter at the scene.
The letter said that our Ye Family must gather ten billion US dollars within a week for Old Ye’s ransom, otherwise…
they will have us collect Old Ye’s body…”
By this point, Sun Lin was crying so hard that she could barely speak.
