Chapter 28: The Marriage Between Remote Residents
Fang Yun listened to Qin Yao's words and immediately felt that they made a lot of sense.
The plants and trees, having just awakened their consciousness, transformed into spirits, which indeed perfectly matched the attributes of his cultivation technique.
"May I ask, senior, does the Green Wood Sect have any information about such plant-like demonic beasts?"
Qin Yao shook her head: "There are many cultivators with wood spirit roots in the sect. Once they discover such a spiritual object, they will kill or take it directly. Most of them become their natal spiritual weapons."
"I will issue a sect mission. As long as one of my disciples makes a discovery, they will send a message to you directly."
Fang Yun left with some disappointment.
The only good news was that Qin Yao gave a clear answer: she would lend him a hand when the time came.
As for how long it will take, nobody knows.
Fang Yun felt that he still needed to prepare for both possibilities.
First, save up enough spirit stones to buy a second-tier attack formation.
If he really can't find any, he won't mind those wood-attribute flesh and blood demonic beasts.
"Young Marquis, may I also take a look at that Foundation Establishment Technique?"
Lin Dong accompanied them down the mountain and asked with a smile.
He possessed a mid-grade spiritual root and benefited from Qin Yao's foundation-building.
He is now thriving within the sect, and his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.
I am very interested in all things related to foundation building.
Fang Yun didn't hide anything; she openly showed him the things she had found for free.
"pity……"
Lin Dong glanced at it a few times and shook his head regretfully.
This is truly demonic magic, equivalent to turning oneself into a half-demon.
If he dares to cultivate, the Green Wood Sect will clean house of its members.
Even if I'm tempted, I can only use it as a reference.
……
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, from the cold winter to the hot summer.
Fang Yun successfully completed the Qi Refining process, and his cultivation could no longer advance.
Even within the entire Fang family, he could be considered a master.
Meanwhile, Fang Yaowan's affair could no longer be kept secret and spread throughout the entire Ziqing Lake.
The Fang family suffered two consecutive setbacks at the Foundation Establishment stage, leaving them without a successor.
Many members of the tribe felt a sense of fear and unease.
This is the situation that all cultivation families fear most.
With no one to inherit the title of the strongest member of the clan, they are always at risk of falling to a lower rank and returning to their original state.
There are even rumors that the Fang family's fortune has run into trouble, and many people have suggested rebuilding the ancestral graves to improve the feng shui.
The cultivation world is also very superstitious.
Fortunately, Elder Fang intervened frequently, and the patriarch produced a protection token from the Green Wood Sect.
This finally calmed people's hearts.
In order to stabilize the situation, the Fang family did a lot of things.
For example... forming marriage alliances with Foundation Establishment families to find allies.
Fang Yun's senior brother, Fang Yaosheng, was the one who was pushed forward.
He was a direct descendant of the family alchemists and had the support of the Fifth Elder, so his status was high enough.
Most importantly, Fang Yaosheng volunteered to marry a woman from the direct line of the Tang family in Huangfengling.
Upon learning of this, the head of the Fang family clapped his hands and agreed to the marriage.
They made a grand gesture and decided to form an alliance with the Tang family, who had just established their foundation.
The wedding was a lively affair, with many members of the Tang family in attendance; it was essentially a matchmaking event.
Both sides had their own ulterior motives.
Fang Yun prepared a generous gift, wrapped in red silk, and was very happy for his senior brother.
Congratulations on finding your sweetheart.
The bride's name was Tang Qiushui. She was dressed in yellow and had a beautiful face with a pair of exceptionally bright eyes.
She was the woman Fang Yaosheng fell in love with at first sight in the market years ago, and she was naturally close to all kinds of spirit beasts.
After making inquiries from various sources and overcoming many difficulties, Fang Yaosheng finally married her.
Lovers get married.
Perhaps it was because good things come in pairs, the wedding was only a few days later.
Fang Yun received another piece of good news.
Qin Yao communicated with him and found traces of plant and tree monsters, so they could prepare to hunt monsters and build their foundation.
When Fang Yun found out, she was deeply disturbed.
He has finally reached this point and is about to face the insurmountable barrier of foundation building.
I hope I can get through this.
Before leaving Ziqing Lake, Fang Yun met with the Fifth Elder.
I would like to purchase a piece of Yu Zhu Dan (玉竹丹).
He couldn't afford a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill that cost 20,000 spirit stones.
We had no choice but to settle for second best.
Fang Pangen seemed to have seen through his son-in-law's plan, and patted him on the shoulder, giving him silent encouragement and blessings.
A few days later, a Jade Bamboo Pill was delivered to the small courtyard.
This was exchanged by the Fifth Elder using his own family's contribution; Fang Yun didn't have to pay a single spirit stone.
The emotion I felt was beyond words.
Finally, Fang Yun met with her children.
The eldest son, Fang Shiyu, is thirty years old this year and has just broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
He rarely takes elixirs; he achieves his foundation entirely through arduous self-cultivation. His family has already regarded him as a potential candidate for Foundation Establishment.
The eldest daughter, Fang Shilan, has grown into a graceful young woman, inheriting her mother's beauty, lively yet charming.
He doesn't practice cultivation very hard, only reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining. He is usually very pampered and has a carefree personality.
She had accompanied Fang Yun to her senior brother's wedding, but she seemed somewhat distracted after returning.
Fang Shiping, the third son, is of illegitimate birth but is the most hardworking. He has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining and is currently trying to break through the threshold of becoming a mid-grade alchemist.
He is the child most like Fang Yun. He is usually quiet and reserved, with a calm personality. He spends most of his time in the alchemy workshop, working hard and growing silently.
Fang Shinian, the fourth son, is Zhi Qinghuai's second child. He is twenty-five years old this year and has a low-grade fire spiritual root.
Since Shi Nian was born, Fang Yun has been very busy and doesn't know much about her son.
All I know is that this kid is obsessed with demonic beasts, and he's now at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
They usually get along very well with Fang Shiyao from Brother Lu's family; they're like two mischievous monkeys.
Finally, there is the youngest son, Fang Long, who is also the only one among Fang Yun's four direct descendants who does not have spiritual roots.
He resembled his mother, with handsome and gentle features, a straight waist, and a slender figure. He was very quiet and had a melancholy air about him.
"Long'er, I heard from Zhiyu that a few days ago, a marriage was arranged for you with the Tang family?"
Fang Yun looked at his youngest son, his words full of expectation: "One wife is too few. I will discuss with your mother and arrange for you to marry more than a dozen more wives and concubines."
"Long'er, your father can't count on your brothers. If our family wants to have many descendants, continue the family line, and prosper, it all depends on you."
Because of his son-in-law's cultivation of immortality, Fang Yunsheng didn't have many children in this life, and Shiyu and the others had to restrain their cultivation.
All their hopes could be pinned on this young child.
Fang Long was stunned when he heard about the dozen or so wives and concubines.
Then, from the depths of his body, an unprecedented power suddenly surged forth, as if he had found his purpose in life!
He was determined to surpass his three older brothers in the matter of carrying on the family line!
Fang Yun whispered to each of the children, reminding them to take good care of their mothers.
Afterwards, he bid farewell to his two wives and set off with Lu Guishou, leaving the Fang family in Ziqing Lake.
Fang Yun had already made plans. Once he obtained the demon spirit, he would go to the Immortal City to rent a second-tier cave dwelling for secluded cultivation and breakthrough.
They first went to Funiu Mountain to find San Niu Zi, and then came to the agreed location to wait for Lin Dong and Qin Yao who arrived late.
The five reunited, fully prepared, for the purpose of hunting down a second-tier great demon.
Extracting flesh and blood, refining soul and spirit, to help Fang Yun's demon spirit establish its foundation in this life!
