Chapter 112: A New Realm?

 

She had witnessed Fang Yu’s skills, and in her eyes, he was an omnipotent powerhouse.

People naturally admire the strong.

“Fang Yu, can you… take me away?” Ding Ran’s cheeks flushed slightly, her beautiful eyes shimmering, her voice soft and tender.

In truth, she meant no more than that; she was being forced to marry someone she didn’t like, and she felt truly unwilling. She just hoped someone could help her escape from this place.

Fang Yu looked at Ding Ran in front of him and sighed softly.

“You’re drunk.”

“I’m not drunk; I know what I’m saying. I want you to help me,” Ding Ran said as she walked towards Fang Yu.

At that moment, her eyes were clear and bright, complementing the blush on her face, making her look stunning.

But Fang Yu’s expression remained unchanged.

Even though Ding Ran was not lacking in beauty or figure, she was still far from Liu Liansha.

Moreover, even Liu Liansha’s charms had no effect on him, let alone Ding Ran in her current state.

Fang Yu raised his right hand and gently tapped Ding Ran’s forehead with his index finger.

A flash of white light appeared, and the previously excited Ding Ran suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Fang Yu placed her on the sofa and then left Ding Ran’s home.

“This woman is too troublesome; I need to keep my distance,” Fang Yu thought.

…

Fang Yu returned home at one in the morning.

However, he had slept too long in the afternoon and felt no drowsiness now.

So, he took out the wooden box containing the demon beast inner cores.

Opening the box revealed twenty-three inner cores inside, and he could sense the spiritual energy contained within.

“That Qin Wudao kid comes from a wealthy family, yet he only brought me a dozen demon beast inner cores. But this Wu Baiyu has so many… where did he get them?” Fang Yu wondered, realizing he had forgotten to ask Wu Baiyu this crucial question.

However, Wu Baiyu’s cultivation had been crippled, and he was severely injured, so he shouldn’t have gone far.

He could have Li Xiaomo bring him over tomorrow morning and ask again.

With that thought, Fang Yu began to consume the demon beast inner cores.

These inner cores were not of high rank; most were second or third tier, with only two being fourth tier.

Fang Yu first swallowed the two fourth-tier demon beast inner cores.

The inner cores were refined within his body, releasing waves of spiritual energy, all of which were absorbed by Fang Yu’s dantian.

Fang Yu’s dantian was like an endless ocean, filled with pure spiritual energy.

The dantian’s capacity was too large, which was the fundamental reason Fang Yu had been unable to establish his foundation for so long.

Generally, a person’s dantian has a limited capacity; most people reach a sufficient state of spiritual energy in their dantian by the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining stage, unable to absorb more energy, thus preventing them from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, Fang Yu’s dantian would never reach a sufficient state; it could absorb as much spiritual energy as it received, which led to his prolonged inability to establish his foundation.

Soon, Fang Yu refined all twenty-three demon beast inner cores.

After refining, his cultivation broke through to the ninth thousand eight hundred sixty layers of the Qi Refining stage.

He was still one hundred forty layers short.

Fang Yu’s eyes glowed red, and he felt incredibly excited.

He really wanted to know what changes his body would undergo after reaching ten thousand layers in the Qi Refining stage.

Although the spiritual energy in his dantian was still not at a sufficient state, he could feel that it was approaching saturation.

He had a premonition that as long as he broke through to ten thousand layers in the Qi Refining stage, he would definitely reach a new realm!

Fang Yu did not know whether this realm was the Foundation Establishment stage, nor did he have any clues.

After all, throughout history, he was the only one who had cultivated in the Qi Refining stage for five thousand years!

However, no matter what this realm was, as long as it wasn’t the Qi Refining stage, it would be fine.

In this world, only heaven knew how much Fang Yu hated the Qi Refining stage!

Because this realm had held him back for nearly five thousand years!

“One hundred forty layers; I need to speed up… I must find a way to collect more demon beast inner cores and absorb the cultivation of those Foundation Establishment cultivators…” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, and he felt extremely excited.

He suddenly thought of Gu Rulong, the so-called master who publicly declared war on him.

Gu Rulong was currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Martial Venerable realm, which was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage…

In the Foundation Establishment stage, a golden core would condense within the body, containing spiritual energy… which was probably equivalent to a ninth-tier demon beast inner core.

“Gu Rulong, you must focus on your seclusion and successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment stage! I’m counting on that golden core of yours…” Fang Yu thought.

…

The next day was the weekend, and Fang Yu went for a morning run.

On the pedestrian path beside Lijiang, Fang Yu jogged slowly.

As he ran, he noticed a girl wearing a pink baseball cap and sportswear sitting on a stone bench ahead.

Fang Yu recognized her at a glance; it was Xia Tinghe, who had been causing him trouble for the past few days.

Can’t she take a break on the weekend?

Fang Yu frowned slightly, pretending not to see her, and continued running forward.

But while he pretended not to see Xia Tinghe, she spotted him immediately.

“Fang Yu!” Xia Tinghe’s face lit up with joy as she stood up.

Fang Yu acted as if he hadn’t heard and kept running.

Xia Tinghe was momentarily stunned, bit her pink lips, and followed after him.

“Fang Yu, I came specifically to apologize to you. What happened the other day was my fault; I misunderstood you,” Xia Tinghe said as she ran alongside him.

Fang Yu glanced at Xia Tinghe and replied, “So? Do you have anything else to say?”

“To apologize… I, I want to invite you to my house for a meal,” Xia Tinghe said, her face slightly flushed, speaking softly.

This was her first time inviting a boy to her home, and she felt very shy.

If it weren’t for her grandfather’s request, she might never have said such a thing in her life.

“A meal?” Fang Yu looked at Xia Tinghe, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Just yesterday, she had brought a Huang Xiaolong over, wanting to teach him a lesson.

Today, why was she suddenly apologizing and inviting him to dinner?

From Xia Tinghe’s expression and gaze, it was clear that someone had asked her to do this.

“No need to beat around the bush; it must be your grandfather who wants to see me, right?” Fang Yu said with a faint smile.

Xia Tinghe’s expression changed slightly, then she nodded and said, “Yes, my grandfather wants to see you.”

“Tell him to forget it; I’m not interested in meeting him,” Fang Yu replied.

When he first met Xia Heguang, Fang Yu could tell that Xia Heguang was likely a high-ranking figure in the security department.

And Fang Yu was not keen on getting close to such people.

Because if he dealt with them, his identity might leave a record in the Jiuzhou Kingdom, which could bring him trouble.

Seeing Fang Yu refuse so decisively, Xia Tinghe felt very annoyed.

As the young lady of the Xia family, it was her first time inviting someone to her home for a meal, and she was met with an unhesitating rejection!

This was a humiliation for her!

“How can you do this…” Xia Tinghe said angrily.

“What have I done? Do I have to meet your grandfather?” Fang Yu frowned.

After saying that, Fang Yu quickened his pace, creating distance between him and Xia Tinghe.

Xia Tinghe was taken aback, gritting her teeth as she followed him.

“Fang Yu, my grandfather really wants to see you; he has something to discuss with you…” Xia Tinghe said as she caught up.

But just as she caught up, Fang Yu accelerated again, pulling away from her.

This guy!

Xia Tinghe’s face turned red with anger as she circulated her internal energy and charged at Fang Yu.

After all, she was a ninth-tier innate martial artist, and her physique was much stronger than an ordinary person.

But even at her maximum speed, she couldn’t catch up to Fang Yu, who continued to increase the distance until he was completely out of sight.

Xia Tinghe stopped, leaning on her knees, panting heavily, her forehead damp with sweat.

“This jerk!”

Xia Tinghe was both angry and frustrated, stamping her feet.

…

After finishing his morning run and returning home, Fang Yu had breakfast, and it was already ten in the morning.

He called Li Xiaomo and asked her to bring Wu Baiyu to see him.

“He has already escaped… Yesterday, the Jin family intended to send him to the inspection department, but he made an excuse to go to the restroom and then disappeared,” Li Xiaomo said.

Escaped?

Wu Baiyu’s cultivation had been completely crippled, and he was severely injured; how could he have escaped?

“Mr. Fang, I will send my subordinates to search for him, and as soon as we find him, I will bring him to see you,” Li Xiaomo said.
