Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Ghost Hand’s Promotion

The tranquil Yanjing City was stirred into a whirlwind because of a man named Fang Bai.

The core figure of this matter and the center of public attention, Fang Bai, had suddenly disappeared in the past few days. He could not be found in Yanjing Hospital, nor was he present in the courtyard house.

Together with Fang Bai, his disciple Ghost Hand and the adorable Lightning Mink had also vanished.

Apart from a very few individuals, no one in the world knew where they had gone or what they were doing.

"Let’s go, we’re returning to Yanjing. I’ve accepted an invitation from ’Doctor Pavilion’ to attend the ’World Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference’ tomorrow."

That evening, as the last ray of the setting sun pierced through the mountain crevices and shone into the small valley that was lush with flowers and seemed like a paradise on earth, Fang Bai concluded a day of cultivation, slowly walking out from a little bamboo building in the valley.

This valley was precisely the one where Fang Bai and Dongfang Ruhua had encountered the Lingnan Poison Venerable and discovered the relics of a cultivator after being caught in a mudslide.

The valley was concealed with a formation, invisible to martial artists who did not understand formations, and undetectable by ordinary people.

Although small, the valley was rich in Essence Energy and abound with Spiritual Medicine, truly a cultivation treasure spot in the secular world.

Fang Bai came here with Ghost Hand and the Lightning Mink this time purposely to avoid the noisy and chaotic environment of the mundane world, to focus on cultivation for a period.

Indeed, cultivating in this environment rich in Essence Energy and tranquility proved far more effective than in the outside world, with both disciples and mink showing obvious progress in this time.

Especially Ghost Hand, who had been cultivating in the courtyard house in Yanjing without stepping outside. Although his True Yuan and mentality had reached a stage ripe for a breakthrough, it always just eluded him.

After Ghost Hand followed Fang Bai to this valley, with Fang Bai’s guidance and several days of secluded cultivation, he finally achieved a breakthrough at dawn, entering the realm of Profound Level Martial Artists and joining the ranks of first-class experts in the Secular Ancient Martial World.

As for the Lightning Mink, the little fellow was born a glutton. Upon seeing the Spiritual Medicine covering the valley floor, its round eyes turned green. Ravenous, it pounced into a large cluster of Spiritual Medicine, gobbling them up without any concern for taste.

The Spiritual Medicine in the valley were at least hundreds of years old. Fang Bai had originally planned to use them to concoct Elixirs when his own cultivation level grew stronger and able to freely control the two types of True Yuan within his Chaos Origin Energy. Seeing the Lightning Mink spoiling quite a few, he couldn’t help but feel distressed.

However, due to the Lightning Mink’s peculiar physique and special bloodline, its strength improved every second. Given enough cultivation resources, its progress would be even more astonishing, and it would certainly become a significant aid to him in the future.

With this in mind, Fang Bai, though loathe to part with them, allocated a densely populated area of Spiritual Medicine in the valley as the "food" for the Lightning Mink from then on.

Furthermore, Fang Bai made a pact with the Lightning Mink, instructing it not to damage the Spiritual Medicine in other areas, otherwise, it would be punished.

The Lightning Mink belonged to the category of Spirit Beasts, who are naturally proud and intractable. They will not easily bow down, but once they do choose to submit, they are utterly loyal.

When the Lightning Mink agreed to follow Fang Bai away from the Mysterious Pit, the strength and status between the man and the mink were equal, with the mink even carrying a hint of arrogance.

But with Fang Bai’s rapid growth in strength, the Lightning Mink was subdued by his power and further enticed by the prospect of obtaining more cultivation resources from him, gradually becoming tame and docile. Sometimes, it would even resort to acting cute and seeking favor in front of Fang Bai.

Towards Fang Bai’s three rules, the Lightning Mink dared not disobey or ignore, for now its strength had been entirely surpassed by Fang Bai. Even its prized speed held no advantage against Fang Bai’s "Dragon Soaring to the Heavens" movement technique. If Fang Bai truly wanted to punish it, escape was impossible.

Although the relationship between Lightning Mink and Fang Bai was not that of master and servant, and it could leave his side at any time, the Lightning Mink wasn’t foolish. Without Fang Bai, who else in the world could provide it with cultivation resources?

Hearing Fang Bai say he was going to leave, the Lightning Mink, which was nibbling on spiritual medicine, was somewhat reluctant. But seeing Fang Bai and Ghost Hand moving toward the exit of the valley, one in front and one behind, it reluctantly cast a glance at its own patch of spiritual medicine and then leapt onto Fang Bai’s shoulder.

"You think the cultivation resources in this little valley are already quite abundant, right?"

Fang Bai patted the little head of the Lightning Mink and then looked at Ghost Hand, gazing toward the distant horizon, and said leisurely, "Just wait. One day, I will take you to another world. In that world, Essence Energy is ten to a hundred times denser than here, and the cultivation resources are as vast as the sea, more than you can imagine!"

Fang Bai’s words were intended for Ghost Hand, who then repeated them to the Lightning Mink using the Beast Taming Scripture.

After hearing this, both Ghost Hand and the Lightning Mink’s eyes shone with excitement.

Essence Energy ten to a hundred times denser than this small valley, and countless cultivation resources... Just these two aspects alone were enough to create an irresistible temptation for Ghost Hand and the Lightning Mink.

Ghost Hand did not ask where the "another world" Fang Bai mentioned was, thinking that when the time came, he would simply follow his master wherever he went. His master was a true Master, and following him promised an endlessly bright future.

After breaking the Formation and leaving the small valley, the two men and one mink moved quickly through the mountains under the remaining glow of the sunset. In a moment, they had left the deep mountains and could vaguely see the majestic and prosperous Yanjing City.

Upon returning to the courtyard, they saw Baili Zhan and his wife, Jiang Yuzhi, sitting in the courtyard with angry expressions on their faces. Baili Mingyue stood in front of them, pouting her lips high, looking aggrieved.

"Brother Baili, what’s going on here?"

Fang Bai approached with a smile and asked.

The Lightning Mink "whooshed" from Fang Bai’s shoulder into Baili Mingyue’s arms, rubbing its little head against her full, soft chest a few times.

Baili Mingyue’s chest tickled by the rubbing, and she couldn’t help giggling, "Hehehe," where was there any hint of grievance in her now?

Ghost Hand walked into the room, brought out a stool for Fang Bai to sit on, and then stood respectfully behind Fang Bai.

"You girl, you hurt someone and yet you can still laugh? What if they come to our door, what will you do! You’re really driving me mad!"

Baili Zhan glared at Baili Mingyue and scolded her, showing his disappointment.

"Hmph, it’s that man’s fault for dumping my classmate after leading her on. He deserved a beating!"

Baili Mingyue retorted defiantly.

"What do I usually tell you? Be modest and low-key in life, don’t meddle in affairs that don’t concern you, otherwise, what will you do if you cause trouble? I’ve told you this countless times, why can’t you remember!"

"But you’ve also said that we shouldn’t provoke trouble, but we also shouldn’t be afraid of it! Besides, Fang Bai also said that as Martial Artists, we don’t just cultivate Martial Arts Techniques, but also our state of mind. If my classmate is bullied by that man and suffers so much, if I don’t step in, it will affect my state of mind, which is very detrimental to cultivation."

"This..."

When Baili Zhan heard his daughter bring up Fang Bai’s words, he was immediately deflated and did not know how to respond.
