Chapter 1034: Chapter 1034: Anticipation

Fang Bai knew that Zhuang Zhi’s tracking of him was definitely not with good intentions, and his visit to Lei Li could also be a discussion of some conspiracy.

However, Fang Bai couldn’t be bothered to follow and eavesdrop.

In Fang Bai’s eyes, whether it was Zhuang Zhi with his low-rank Desolate Level cultivation or Lei Li with his mid-rank Desolate Level strength, they were both just clowns. With just the two of them, they would find it difficult to cause any trouble for him.

Fang Bai firmly believed that in front of absolute power, any conspiracy or trickery was illusory. With one punch, everything would dissipate into smoke.

In the following two days, like many other Martial Academy disciples who had returned from their training experiences, Fang Bai also chose to enter closed-door training.

From this training experience in the mountains, Huang Miao, Hou Ziping, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu all made some progress in strength, while Fang Bai had also obtained quite a few cultivation resources.

However, one session of Fang Bai’s closed-door training would consume tens of thousands of Essence Stones and dozens or even hundreds of Elixirs, so the cultivation resources he obtained were just a drop in the bucket, unable to effectively alleviate the scarcity of his cultivation resources.

Fang Bai was actually quite looking forward to his upcoming trip to Purple Flame City.

He had heard that there was a large Martial Artists Trading Market in Purple Flame City where martial artists from all corners would gather daily, trading various types of cultivation resources and even having the chance to see many treasures that martial artists dreamed of obtaining.

What interested Fang Bai the most was that within this large trading market, there were Pharmacists and Artifact Refiners who regularly offered their services to create Elixirs or Spiritual Artifacts for all the martial artists.

Of course, martial artists who wanted to create Elixirs or Spiritual Artifacts had to pay a substantial "service fee" to the Pharmacists or Artifact Refiners; hence, they were typically among the martial artists in the Martial Dao World least lacking in cultivation resources.

Moreover, as Pharmacists and Artifact Refiners possessed Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Roots and were usually martial dao powerhouses, along with their vast networks, ordinary martial artists coveted their enormous cultivation resources but did not dare to easily entertain the thought of targeting them.

The Elixirs required for the cultivation of Bitao Martial Academy disciples were partly created by the Pharmacists in the Trading Market.

Upon learning this news, Fang Bai’s heart stirred greatly, thinking that if he went to Purple Flame City, he could change his appearance and earn a fortune in cultivation resources by refining Elixirs and crafting artifacts for other martial artists at the trading market.

Although Fang Bai’s strength had greatly diminished compared to his peak as the Immortal Emperor, his mind was filled with thousands upon thousands of secret alchemy and artifact refining techniques. Fang Bai was confident that if he were to take action, he would not be inferior to any of the Pharmacists or Artifact Refiners in Purple Flame City.

He just didn’t know if he started taking the Pharmacists’ and Artifact Refiners’ business, whether they would join forces to deal with him.

Inside Fang Bai’s Spatial Ring now were the sinews, flesh, and hides of two mid-rank Spirit Beasts, two mid-rank Spirit Cores, and many mid-grade Spiritual Medicines, Iceheart Fruits, that were over five hundred years old.

These were all cultivation resources that Fang Bai had obtained during his mountain training, each one a rare treasure in the eyes of martial artists. Fang Bai planned to take some of them to the trading market in Purple Flame City to exchange for some urgently needed cultivation resources.

Of course, all these things had to be done in secret upon reaching Purple Flame City, without letting other people from the Bitao Martial Academy know, including Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu. After all, earning cultivation resources by refining Elixirs and crafting artifacts in Purple Flame City might encroach upon some Pharmacists’ or Artifact Refiners’ interests, potentially leading to their hostility or even attacks. Fang Bai did not want to bring any trouble to Liu Qingqing and the others.

In the next two days of secluded cultivation, Fang Bai, with a limited number of Essence Stones, laid out a Shielding Array within the small courtyard he resided in, to prevent the intense fluctuations generated during his cultivation from being sensed by the high-ranking members of the Martial Academy.

Although the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy in the True Martial Realm was much richer compared to the previous Secular World, lacking a large amount of cultivation resources meant that Fang Bai showed no signs of advancement in the better part of half a year since arriving in the True Martial Realm. However, the volume of the Chaos Essence Qi, composed of seven types of Essence Energy within his Qi Sea, had increased and had also become more refined and concentrated, which laid a solid foundation for his future advancements.

Fang Bai was a possessor of the Chaos True Body, and his strength was many times greater than other Martial Artists at the same realm, yet the difficulty of advancement also increased manifold; every cultivation session required far more resources than for his peers.

Furthermore, as his realm and cultivation level rose, Fang Bai’s demand for cultivation resources would reach a level unimaginable to an ordinary Martial Artist.

The two days passed in a blink of an eye. During these two days, the Origin Energy surged and filled the small courtyard where Fang Bai was, the pressure it exerted was astonishing, such that even Ren Jingbo, the headmaster of the Martial Academy, would not be able to withstand it if he abruptly entered this courtyard.

Fortunately, the Origin Energy and the pressure were confined within the small courtyard by the Shielding Array Fang Bai had set up, and from the outside, nothing unusual could be detected; thus, no one was alarmed.

In the early hours of the third day, when Fang Bai concluded his cultivation, he sensed a fluctuation of Essence Energy coming from the direction of the Elixir Hall, followed closely by an excited and exhilarating long howl.

The howl echoed among the mountains, and from it, one could feel that the person who issued the howl was extremely excited and exuberant.

"Elder Ge has advanced in realm! It seems the mid-grade Creation Pill I gave him has played a crucial role."

Fang Bai walked out of the courtyard and stood on the edge of the cliff, looking towards the peak of the mountain where the Elixir Hall was located, by the light of the moon, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Dawn broke soon after, and the sonorous sounds of the bell suddenly rang out—Bitao Martial Academy was summoning all Disciples to gather at the plaza in front of the gate.

Fang Bai, along with thousands of Bitao Martial Academy disciples, dressed in uniforms representing their various statuses and ranks, swept down from their residences on the various mountains, converging into streams of people rushing towards the vast plaza.

After thousands of disciples had assembled on the plaza, a group of high-ranked officials from the Martial Academy, led by Ren Jingbo, appeared on the Stone Platform.

Fang Bai’s gaze fell on Ge Feng, who was looking spirited and energetic; as expected, he had indeed advanced to the High Rank Desolate level realm, on par with the two Vice Heads.

Although Ge Feng deliberately concealed his cultivation level, he couldn’t escape Fang Bai’s keen perception.

However, because Ge Feng had just advanced, his realm was not very stable, so in terms of combat power, he still could not compare to the two Vice Heads.

When Fang Bai looked towards Ge Feng, it happened that Ge Feng was also glancing at him. Both men exchanged knowing smiles, and gratitude was clearly visible in Ge Feng’s smile.

The main purpose of the Martial Academy’s high-ranking officials’ convening all Disciples was to announce the list of ten people who would be attending the Sect’s conference in the Thousand Lakes Capital City, Purple Flame City, and to encourage them to cultivate diligently. Those who could not go to Purple Flame City this time should strive for a chance in the next one.

The ten individuals participating in the Sect’s conference included one leading Elder, three Personal Transmission Disciples, three Core Disciples, and three Inner Court Disciples, the same as in previous years.

However, the selection of Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing to the list of Core Disciples and Inner Court Disciples respectively took many Martial Academy disciples by surprise.
