Chapter 18: Night Dream
Chapter 18: Night Dream
After sending Fang Che home, Fang Qianyi gave him some instructions and left.
"My disciple is naturally gifted, but lacks experience. I must find some heavenly treasures to aid his cultivation."
"The leaders of the Unity Sect are too stingy. They didn't even leave any spiritual pills or elixirs for my disciple."
Fang Qianyi was very interested in the unconscious girl his son had rescued. He arranged for her to stay in a side room and instructed Qiu Xue and Dong Mei to take good care of her.
But he was still worried, so he personally brought some pills and helped Night Dream consume them, using his blood to activate their power.
He asked Dong Mei to call for a physician.
He personally took a snow-white towel and gently wiped Night Dream's face.
A smile appeared on his face, "My son has good taste. This young lady is indeed a great beauty."
His eyes darted around, checking if anyone was around, and he whispered to himself, "I'll examine her injuries. Hopefully, they aren't too severe."
He carefully inspected her from head to toe—her head, face, neck, shoulders, chest, abdomen, buttocks...
He couldn't contain his smile, "Not bad, not bad at all. Her chest is not small, and her buttocks are quite plump. She's still a virgin. Hmm... Good taste, good taste indeed."
Suddenly, he coughed and cleared his throat, "This child's injuries are not light..."
A figure appeared at the door, and Qiu Xue brought in a bowl of medicine, "Miss, the medicine is ready."
"Oh, oh..."
Fang Qianyi coughed, "Be careful while attending to her."
"Yes."
Fang Qianyi turned and left.
Neither of them noticed that Night Dream's face had turned slightly red.
Behind her delicate ears, her face was already flushed.
Night Dream woke up late in the evening.
After a night's rest, she regained some vitality and managed to express her gratitude. Three days later, she finally had the strength to move, and her recovery accelerated.
Fang Che had been diligently cultivating.
He had many cultivation techniques to practice, leaving him with hardly any free time each day.
He was practicing the saber, spear, and sword techniques from the Boundless Scripture.
As for the skills he had in his previous life, he only selected a few to cultivate, abandoning the rest.
Firstly, his starting point in his previous life was too low, and some of the techniques were not suitable for public display. Secondly, the opportunities and cultivation techniques he obtained after reaching a certain level were too representative of his strength.
Using them might stir up thoughts among his old rivals and brothers from his past life.
So, he was cautious.
If he didn't need to use them, he wouldn't.
"If one day, even if you treat me as a demon from the Unity Sect and strike me down, I will have no complaints."
This was his true sentiment, and he would act accordingly when the time came.
But Fang Che didn't want to reach that point.
So, when he cultivated, his dedication was such that anyone who witnessed it would be left speechless.
It was as if he was forging himself like a piece of raw iron.
Especially with the saber, spear, and sword techniques from the Boundless Scripture, Fang Che studied them meticulously.
He thoroughly comprehended every detail.
These four cultivation techniques were truly comprehensive.
All of them were fundamental moves, yet they were diverse and varied.
In the 'Sword' category, there were numerous variations just for drawing the sword.
Drawing the Sword Stance, Left Hip Sword Draw, Right Hip Sword Draw, Handheld Sword Draw, Sheathless Sword Draw, Flying Sheath Sword Draw, Left Shoulder Sword Draw, Right...
Fang Che couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
As for Thrusting Sword, Slashing Sword, Lifting Sword, Chopping Sword, and Pointing Sword; each of these stances had dozens of variations.
The same was true for the saber, spear, and halberd.
There were no specific moves, only various stances.
But Fang Che knew that this was the true masterpiece of a master! Once he mastered these stances, any saber or sword technique would be at his fingertips.
He wouldn't even need specific techniques because he would understand how to attack in any situation.
"The understanding of these four weapons recorded here has reached the pinnacle, hasn't it?"
With this knowledge in his heart, what he lacked was practice.
But after comprehending all of this, Fang Che's understanding of the various cultivation techniques he was learning from Sun Yuan, including the Flying Sky Saber Technique that Sun Yuan was famous for, became effortless. Even the Blood Spirit Seven Stances from the Seal God Palace could be understood through analogy.
Cultivating them was not difficult.
Then, he focused on the Crystal Mind Platform and Bone Transformation Art.
Speaking of which, even with several times the talent, it was impossible to manage cultivating so many techniques simultaneously.
So, he woke up at dawn and practiced the basic stances of the saber, spear, and sword for two hours.
He had a meal of spirit beast meat and medicinal cuisine.
Then, he practiced the Flying Sky Saber Technique and Blood Spirit Seven Stances for two hours.
Lunch.
After lunch, he practiced the Flying Sky Saber Technique and Blood Spirit Seven Stances for another two hours.
Dinner.
Next, he cultivated the Bone Transformation Art and Crystal Mind Platform for two hours.
Supper.
He then slept with the Boundless Scripture.
In between, he supplemented his cultivation with various pills.
And he utilized all the cultivation resources he could obtain.
Seven days passed.
Fang Che had advanced his cultivation to the sixth level of the Samurai Realm.
In half a month, he had progressed two small levels, and although they were minor, this pace was enough to astonish the world.
But Fang Che was still not satisfied. On the contrary, he felt a deep sense of crisis, and he had no confidence in achieving his goal of becoming the top cultivator in the southeast region.
He knew that the great families were not lacking in geniuses.
These geniuses, from birth, had masters guiding their cultivation. Their cultivation techniques were top-notch, and their cultivation resources were of the highest quality.
So, he truly relied on the Boundless Scripture, the saber, spear, and sword techniques, and his peerless talent!
His diligence was his most crucial weapon for success, so he dared not relax even a bit.
...
One day, while cultivating, Fang Che felt someone spying on him. He turned and saw a delicate figure leaning against the doorframe of the side room, slowly making her way out.
A beauty that defies description, yet pitifully weak, was how Fang Che perceived her. Upon meeting his gaze, she trembled like a startled fawn.
"You really are quite the looker, with an air of natural cuteness," Fang Che commented, observing her. It had to be said that Night Dream possessed distinctive features; she was beautiful, and her figure was not bad, although she was a bit on the slender side.
But what stood out the most were her eyes.
Her eyes were slightly larger than those of an average woman, round and adorable. This made her look younger than her actual age of eighteen or nineteen. But when she opened her eyes wide, it gave off an instant impression of childlike innocence and cuteness.
Fang Che remained silent, observing her with a cold gaze.
The woman's body shrank back, sensing the new master's unapproachable demeanor. She mustered her courage, her face pale, and said, "Night Dream thanks the young master for saving my life."
Fang Che nodded, setting down the long spear in his hand, and said indifferently, "You already know your new name, Night Dream?"
"Yes," she replied.
Her voice was soft, her big eyes blinking, appearing both innocent and pitiful.
"I have bought you, and from now on, you belong to me. Do you understand?"
"This servant understands," she answered.
"From now on, be diligent and obedient. Do not do what you shouldn't, and do not think what you shouldn't. Is that clear?"
"This servant understands."
"Clean yourself up properly, recover quickly, and serve me well."
"Yes."
Fang Che took out a Sky Vein Crimson Fruit and said, "Here, eat this quickly. From now on, you must not have any other thoughts."
Night Dream's heart sank. Was this fruit a means of control used by the evil sect? Was it poisoned?
But with the fruit already in her hand, what could she do?
Her heart wavered, but she showed no sign of it. She reached out and took the fruit, saying, "Thank you, young master."
"Eat it quickly," Fang Che urged, his eyes cold.
Night Dream's heart sank even further.
He was going to watch her eat it.
Remembering her mission, Night Dream took a deep breath, her eyes firming with determination. "Yes," she said, and put the fruit in her mouth.
As Fang Che watched Night Dream eat the fruit, he smiled inwardly, seeing through her thoughts. He couldn't help but praise her: "This girl is quite a character."
Turning away, he no longer paid her any mind, focusing on his cultivation.
He was certain that Night Dream was an undercover agent sent by the Guardian Palace, planted beside him to gather intelligence and report on his activities.
But in Fang Che's heart, she was one of his own.
Although they all considered him a demon disciple, a cult heir, and a terrorist, they were, in fact, his true companions.
So, Fang Che was not stingy with his rewards.
Even if, in the worst-case scenario, this girl wasn't from the Guardian Palace, she would still become Fang Che's person. Cultivating a capable assistant was also something Fang Che needed.
Therefore, regardless of which side this girl belonged to, as long as she wasn't from the Unity Sect, this reward was hers to keep.
There were nine Sky Vein Crimson Fruits in total.
Fang Che had eaten three, Fang Qianyi had eaten three, and there were two left, which Fang Che intended to give to Fang Qingyun.
His cousin.
The honest one.
The Fang Family had been good to him and his mother, treating them like family, and Fang Che could sense this.
So, he wouldn't be stingy with his cousin either.
Fortunately, the Sky Vein Crimson Fruit was a heavenly treasure, and he had picked it himself, allowing the fruit's skin to remain intact and preserve its freshness for a longer period.
However, the current situation required his cousin to return soon, as Fang Che had no means to deliver it to the Guardian Martial Academy, especially since this secret couldn't be explained.
He hoped it would be soon...otherwise, it would be a pity for the medicinal power to dissipate.
...
Night Dream consumed the Sky Vein Crimson Fruit, not knowing what it was, but she could feel that after eating it, the injuries she had intentionally inflicted on her internal organs were healing at a visible rate.
In just a moment, she was completely healed! Moreover, her body was undergoing subtle changes.
It was...her aptitude was changing, and impurities were continuously being purged! The issues that had persisted over the years due to cultivation and combat completely vanished.
Her entire being underwent a transformation, as if she had been reborn.
She couldn't help but be shocked.
It wasn't poison! It was an incredible treasure!
Her true foundation and cultivation were not that of a weak girl; instead, her cultivation was even higher than Fang Qianyi's, reaching the peak of the Primordial Grandmaster.
Just one step away from entering the ranks of martial generals!
In Verdant Wave City, she was a top-notch expert.
It was only because of her natural aptitude and cultivation method that she had strong concealment abilities, especially her cultivation technique, which was renowned as the number one technique for hiding one's cultivation.
Even a King-level expert would have difficulty seeing through her true strength unless she revealed it herself.
She never expected that by accepting this task and coming to Verdant Wave City, she would almost be exposed by a single fruit.
Shocked, she immediately returned to her room.
The impurities secreting from her body already emitted a faint foul odor.
Hurriedly, she removed her clothes, fetched hot water, and began to bathe.
The more she washed, the more astounded she became.
As a martial artist, she was well aware of the process of washing meridians and marrow.
If it wasn't the legendary Sky Vein Crimson Fruit, then it must be the legendary Bone Marrow Heaven Fruit, or an Immortal Spirit Crimson Fruit!
Fang Che had given her such a precious item? It didn't make sense!
And now, she was about to break through. What should she do? Night Dream's heart was in turmoil.
After finishing her bath, she dared not leave the room.
With her inner breath surging, even a fart could potentially shake the barrier and lead to a breakthrough.
Just then, Fang Che's impatient voice sounded from outside the door. "Why are you still not done bathing? Hurry up!"
"I'm almost done..." Night Dream replied, her voice trembling.
It wasn't a deliberate tremor, but rather her nervousness.
What should she do? She was about to be exposed...
