Chapter 1372: Chapter 1372: Siblings

Whether it is high-rank superior elixirs, high-rank superior Essence Stones, or high-rank superior Spiritual Artifacts, obtaining even one of them could significantly enhance strength. For Innate Experts, they possess an irresistible, compelling allure.

After consulting Fang Bai’s opinion, Yu Wei and dozens of other Innate Experts eagerly departed, heading toward different regions of Spirit Lake City.

Yu Wei and the others had some connections within Spirit Lake City. They planned to mobilize all their friends and family to gather information about Ruoshui Palace and vie for Fang Bai’s reward, ensuring the benefits stayed within their circle.

Once Yu Wei and the dozens of Innate Experts dispersed, Li Chenzhou went outside Spirit Lake City to locate Wu De and Xia Chenyu, bringing them both back.

That same day, the four of them settled into Yuezhi Inn.

Now, the original owner of Yuezhi Inn, Lei Hong, along with its secretive master Zu Hanjiao, had both fallen. Fang Bai seamlessly became the new proprietor of the inn.

As for the Essence Stones accumulated by the inn over the years, Fang Bai did not hoard them like Zu Hanjiao. Instead, he allocated a large portion to Yu Wei and the dozens of newly recruited Innate Experts within the Huaxia Sect.

Another smaller portion Fang Bai planned to distribute among his friends and family from the secular world once they arrived at the Huaxia Sect.

Over the years, Yuezhi Inn had amassed an astonishing number of high-rank Essence Stones. The share distributed to Yu Wei and the numerous Innate Experts was substantial, which filled them with surprise and gratitude toward Fang Bai.

Previously, after eliminating Zu Hanjiao, Fang Bai did not find any high-rank cultivation resources within her Spatial Ring, leaving him somewhat disappointed. He speculated that the resources she had brought from the Three Thousand Great World to the True Martial Realm were likely already exhausted.

However, Fang Bai did gain valuable information by using the Soul Capturing Heart Refining Technique on Zu Hanjiao’s mind. He learned a great deal about the Three Thousand Great World, including how Zu Hanjiao came to the True Martial Realm and ways to return to the Three Thousand Great World.

Especially the method of returning to the Three Thousand Great World, which was of vital importance to Fang Bai.

Compared to the True Martial Realm, the Three Thousand Great World belonged to a higher dimension.

In that world, the air was filled not with Essence Energy, but the more potent Spiritual Energy.

For martial artists there, Essence Stones were no longer commonly used; instead, they cultivated with Spirit Stones.

Spiritual Medicine there had an age of five thousand years or even surpassing ten thousand years.

Spirit Beasts in that world were larger, more ferocious, and their attacks incomparably powerful.

People there, from the moment they were born, were bathed in Spiritual Energy. Almost everyone could cultivate, and almost everyone could become Innate Martial Artists.

However, Innate Martial Artists were considered the most basic existence in that world.

Martial artists with promising potential and excellent aptitude, with the chance to achieve Foundation Establishment, might be noticed by sects or prominent clans, recruited as disciples, and through years of arduous cultivation, possibly rise to become mighty experts admired and respected by all.

Conversely, those Innate Martial Artists with mediocre talent and little hope of achieving Foundation Establishment had no choice but to spend their lives performing menial tasks like growing Spiritual Medicine or taming Spirit Beasts—a tedious and mundane existence.

Of course, there were occasional martial artists with average aptitude who encountered rare opportunities or fortuitous chances, overturning their fate and embarking on the path to becoming great beings.

In sum, the Three Thousand Great World was a place of survival of the fittest, rife with schemes and deception, yet wondrous, diverse, and vibrant.

It was in that world that Fang Bai was born in a past life and first embarked on his Martial Dao journey.

Fang Bai yearned to return to that world and resume his pursuit of the Dao, aiming to reclaim the Immortal Emperor’s legacy.

In the blink of an eye, six or seven days passed. During this period, some of Yu Wei’s group returned to Yuezhi Inn, but they failed to bring back any information about Ruoshui Palace, leaving Fang Bai somewhat disappointed.

By the tenth day, Fang Bai instructed Yu Wei’s group to temporarily stay in Spirit Lake City to manage Yuezhi Inn and continue investigating Ruoshui Palace’s whereabouts. Meanwhile, he prepared to depart for the Huaxia Sect with Xia Chenyu and Li Chenzhou.

Once they reached the Huaxia Sect and stabilized everything, he would notify Yu Wei’s group to regroup with them.

Fang Bai, Li Chenzhou, Xia Chenyu, and Wu De had packed everything and were just about to leave Yuezhi Inn when a man and a woman unexpectedly showed up.

The two were Universe Level experts who had yet to reach the Innate Realm. Their appearances bore five or six similarities, resembling a pair of siblings.

The pair lingered near Yuezhi Inn for a long time before cautiously and secretly entering, requesting an audience with Fang Bai, as though terrified of being noticed.

Fang Bai, through his Divine Sense, had already detected their presence. When they arrived at the inn and named Fang Bai specifically, he felt a subtle stir in his heart and had Xia Chenyu lead them to his room.

"Junior Zhu Huan greets Senior Fang!"

"Junior Zhu Yue greets Senior Fang!"

Upon seeing Fang Bai, the pair immediately dropped to their knees and respectfully bowed.

The news of Fang Bai killing the inn’s owner and taking its place, as well as issuing the grand bounty to locate Ruoshui Palace, had spread throughout Spirit Lake City and beyond, thanks to the deliberate efforts of the dozens of Innate Experts like Yu Wei.

Yu Wei and his group did this under Fang Bai’s instruction.

Fang Bai’s intention was to lure disciples of Ruoshui Palace out with this news, as this method was far more effective than aimlessly searching the world for the sect.

The reason for publicizing his takeover of Yuezhi Inn was also to boost his reputation, urging Ruoshui Palace to learn about his search for their sect.

Fang Bai believed no matter how hidden Ruoshui Palace might be, they would undoubtedly have disciples traveling across the True Martial Realm, with numerous informants gathering intelligence.

As long as the news of Fang Bai’s bounty reached Ruoshui Palace’s upper ranks, Fang Bai did not believe they would remain indifferent.

Yet, what amused Fang Bai was that while his reputation indeed spread swiftly across Spirit Lake City and neighboring regions, it also brought unexpected troubles.

Many reckless individuals dreaming of renown came to challenge Fang Bai, hoping to use him as a stepping stone to fame.

Given Fang Bai’s current identity, rank, and strength, he naturally disdained engaging with such people. Yet, every day he was exasperated by martial artists shouting for him outside the inn, calling him out for battle.

Fortunately, with Wu De, Li Chenzhou, and others shielding him, no one managed to intrude into the inn.

A man’s reputation casts a shadow as a tree casts shade.

For ordinary martial artists like Zhu Huan and Zhu Yue, Yuezhi Inn was more intimidating than the legendary, unfathomable Innate Sects.

As the new owner of Yuezhi Inn, the mere name "Fang Bai" exerted a suffocating pressure upon them.

As Universe Level martial artists meeting Fang Bai, they trembled slightly in awe, not daring to lift their heads.

"Zhu Huan... Zhu Yue... are you siblings?"

Fang Bai looked at the kneeling pair before him and asked with a gentle smile.

"Senior Fang, we are indeed siblings!"

Zhu Huan answered earnestly with utmost respect.

The elder brother Zhu Huan appeared to be in his thirties. He cultivated a Fire-based Technique and possessed Universe Level perfection cultivation.

His younger sister, Zhu Yue, looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, similarly cultivating a Fire-based Technique, with Universe Level high-rank cultivation.

The siblings were neither particularly unattractive nor outstandingly beautiful—essentially average-looking individuals who would blend seamlessly into a crowd.

However, considering their ages and cultivation achievements, they evidently had commendable aptitude.
