Chapter 113: Chapter 71: Frank Treatment [Additional update for Alliance Hierarch Feng Xiaorui]

Fang Che also estimated his chances and said with some uncertainty, "Grandmaster, if I advance through normal cultivation, I don’t have full confidence."

Yin Shen Palace furrowed his brows and said, "You must not harm your foundation in pursuit of quick success."

Fang Che’s expression turned bitter. "I only have sixty to seventy percent confidence. If there’s enough Spiritual Energy and I return to the Martial Arts Academy to apply for entry into the gravity Spiritual Energy cultivation room then there won’t be a problem, but I don’t have enough academic credits."

"And permission may not necessarily be granted."

Yin Shen Palace’s brows furrowed as well.

The initial plan had its pros and cons.

The advantage was that as long as Fang Che was smart enough, he could find favor everywhere and demonstrate his value to make the Guardian take notice.

But the disadvantage was equally clear.

That was, the other party already knew Fang Che’s true identity, so they surely had some countermeasures in place. This would lead to the top resources that many talented students could easily enjoy being much more difficult for Fang Che to obtain.

Like the gravity Spiritual Energy cultivation room, he just mentioned.

"But I can practice day and night."

Fang Che clenched his teeth and said, "If the Grandmaster needs me to."

Yin Shen Palace’s gaze was deep. "I need you to reach the General Level within four months!"

"General Level!"

Fang Che was genuinely shocked!

Four months to General Level, had Yin Shen Palace gone mad?

He was just at the second level of Wuzhong!

"I have no choice but to take this difficult course."

Yin Shen Palace’s voice was somber. "Once you have reached the General Level, there will be a significant matter for you to undertake!"

"A significant matter?"

"Yes. A matter that will determine the future standing of our Yixin Sect, as well as your own destiny, and the fate of all of us, including your master, your second and third masters... A matter of great significance to all our futures!"

Yin Shen Palace took a deep breath and said, "I don’t trust anyone else."

When he uttered the words "I don’t trust anyone else," his heart truly felt the agonizing pain of a gut-wrenching struggle.

Fang Che fell silent.

But his mind was racing: Something related to one’s lifelong destiny?

After a long while, he said, "After I break through to the Innate Grandmaster, I will need resources, Spiritual Medicine, Elixir Pills, and also merits from the Guardian."

Yin Shen Palace was lightly tapping his fingertips on the table and spoke indifferently, "These are not a problem!"

His eyes flashed with an eagle-like sharp and ruthless light and said, "At that time... I’ll hand over the powers of the other sects in Baiyun State to you, even including some from our own sect... All for you to eliminate!"

Fang Che’s thoughts were quick as lightning.

All for me to eliminate?

It seems that this matter is enough to affect Yin Shen Palace? Perhaps even more?

Then...

Fang Che thus showed hesitation and said, "Grandmaster, this matter still requires consideration, after all, my identity at Baiyun Martial Academy... Others are suspicious or have already confirmed it. They just want to use me, and if I do this... Surely, it will benefit my rise within the Guardians."

"But they will definitely not give me a position of significance. We both know that. Even if they watch me eliminate others, they will just enjoy the spectacle and be optimistic because they know exactly who I am."

"At least a portion of them know my true identity."

Fang Che’s face showed conflict. "So in the future, I might not be able to stay here much longer and may not be able to access anything valuable. That is for certain."

This time, Fang Che was speaking the absolute truth.

Not a single word was false.

Moreover, he was sure that Yin Shen Palace, ever since that move in Bibo City, had already considered this.

This frankness was partly a way to speak what was true and express hardships, and on the other hand, it was also further declaring loyalty.

And it showed his strategic depth and foresight.

As for the problem, it was Yin Shen Palace’s to solve. He just needed to present it.

As expected, Yin Shen Palace’s eyes showed extreme satisfaction.

Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang also flashed slight surprise in their eyes.

They hadn’t expected this youngster to be so clever, thinking so far ahead, so comprehensively.

"I am gratified that you can think this way," said Yin Shen Palace slowly. "But there is one thing they can’t bear to cut you off completely; after all, you are right under their noses, which makes you more controllable. And by using your identity, they can gain even more—that is your value!"

"They can’t find, can’t think of, don’t understand, but you understand everything—that is your value!"

"For your value, they will not easily let go. Therefore, what you said about not being able to stay here for long, you are mistaken. They can’t wait for you to stay here forever!"

"Even if you stay on as a Guardian, they would be happy to see it happen," the Yin Shen Palace said, a sinister smile flashing in his eyes. "This is where your true value lies. If you were to simply leave and return to our side, they would lose a clear target. Killing you would be even less helpful, because we do not lack a master who has yet to grow, but they lack such a thread!"

Fang Che showed a confused expression, "This... this... this..."

Scratching his head, his clear eyes flashed with clever foolishness.

Clearly not understanding what the Yin Shen Palace was implying.

"You don’t need to understand too much; you just need to know that you are of great value to them," the Yin Shen Palace said.

"Because your value is greater than others! At the very least, they can protect many people and many of our targets through you."

The Yin Shen Palace slowly said, "Since ancient times, in battles for power and profit, even a victorious general would end up leaving mountains of dry bones. What’s more, in a struggle for survival?"

A struggle for survival?

Confusion flashed in Fang Che’s eyes, but the words echoed in his heart over and over.

Why would the Yin Shen Palace say that?

Was the Yixin Sect and the Wei Wo Zheng Sect not also for power and profit?

"You were originally an ordinary... well, not very valuable. But, once they noticed you, your value became significant, both for us and for them," the Yin Shen Palace said.

"So, at the Baiyun Martial Academy, whatever you want, you go and fight for it!"

"If they don’t give it to you, you fight for it again, or find other ways to do so, even if it means causing trouble or using unconventional methods. Because they will definitely tolerate you."

"Don’t worry about not getting it!"

The Yin Shen Palace said, "Go and confidently improve your strength! They won’t discard you before you reach Emperor Level or even Monarch Level."

He smiled slightly, "When I sense any danger to you, I will immediately order you to leave! And if you detect any crisis on your side, you can report to me at any time."

"When there is no crisis, feel free to... step on the corpses of others and climb up!"

Suddenly, the Yin Shen Palace switched to secret communication, his lips moved, and a thread of voice entered Fang Che’s ear, "As long as the Guardian here is willing, then I, the Sect Hierarch, can even use the mountainous skeletal remains of surrounding sects to pave all the roads to the Guardian for you!"

Fang Che was shocked to the core!

After pondering for a long while, he finally said, "Yes!"

The Yin Shen Palace stood up, placing down a cloth bag, "Inside here are cultivation resources for you. There are none of those that directly increase cultivation, but those that aid cultivation—now that you are at the Second level of Wuzhong, you can use them."

"I only have one requirement for you, and that is to advance to General Level at all costs within four months, and preferably to Second level general or higher!"

Fang Che bit his teeth as if carefully calculating in his mind, and after a long while, he spoke word by word, "Your subordinate will risk his life... to achieve General Level within four months!"

The Yin Shen Palace gently patted his shoulder and said indifferently, "When you reach that step, you will be truly registered in my book."

"I wouldn’t dare let down the Sect... Grandmaster’s expectations, even at the cost of my life!"

"Good, I’ve brought your tea with me, and I will drink it for the next four months."

The Yin Shen Palace smiled.

Taking Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang, he drifted away.

In a flash, he vanished into the night sky.

eagerly, Fang Che opened the cloth bag, which contained neatly arranged twenty bottles of Elixir Pills, all necessary for the Martial Master Realm.

Moreover, they were all High Grade, wrapped in elaborate pill patterns. Very exquisite!

The Yin Shen Palace and the others, already long gone and high in the sky, all revealed smiles on their faces.

"He’s still a bit impatient. First, to see what good things the Sect Hierarch has given, hahaha..."

The Yin Shen Palace couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Young people are all like this, but it’s normal. It probably takes about ten years to grind away such impetuousness. Right now, this is already quite good."

"The Sect Hierarch is right. If this kid becomes mature and cautious, full of scheming and intrigue in a few years or a decade, I’d actually find it less interesting," Mu Lin Yuan added, jokingly.

"That won’t happen. No matter how he changes, before he reaches his sixties or seventies, in the eyes of us old-timers, whatever he does will always have flaws. Only after living beyond a hundred years, after experiencing all there is to experience, can he become like one of us."

The Yin Shen Palace said indifferently, "Compared to his peers, he is already much better."

"The Sect Hierarch is right, truly perceptive. Back then in Bibo City, I racked my brain and could not have predicted that at that very moment, the Sect Hierarch had laid out such a grand plan."

Hou Fang was brown-nosing.

Mu Lin Yuan was nodding continuously, and thinking back to when he had gone to remind the Sect Hierarch, he couldn’t help but feel his old face heat up.

The Yin Shen Palace just smiled faintly, without denying his foresight.

Of course, he wouldn’t speak of how it was a spur-of-moment decision at that time, having thought nothing of the far-reaching implications.

All of it was Yemo’s doing, advancing step by step to this point, with himself merely arranging things opportunistically, who could have expected it to work out to such miraculous effect?

But from this moment on, Yemo had truly entered his core vision.

No longer insignificant as before.

And certainly not as he had just told Yemo, ’Only when you reach General Level will you truly enter my sight.’

But how could the Yin Shen Palace ever admit such things?
