Chapter 245: Is This the Essence of Divine Power?
Chapter 245: Is This the Essence of Divine Power?
After the meeting, Chen Ru Hai and Fan Tianyao bumped into each other.
"This Fang Che, killing the Demon Sect demons, is quite fierce."
"Hehe, if you were to be an informant, wouldn't you kill as well? If you were in his position, you would kill even more fiercely!"
"Haha."
...
On Ye Meng's side, collecting intelligence during this period became much easier. Because the 'Shadow of the Moon' would basically summarize Fang Che's whereabouts every day.
Whatever was needed, it would be reported to the higher-ups.
Ye Meng only felt that her role as an informant was too easy.
It was just a transit point.
But she dared not slack off at all, and she practiced diligently every day because she felt that her self-esteem had been hit.
She had come to be an informant when she was at the Commander Rank.
Now, Fang Che was at the Commander Rank Ninth Level.
Fang Che was so handsome and at the Handsome Rank.
This made Ye Meng feel a bit ashamed.
So she also worked even harder, but Ye Meng's conditions were actually not as good as Fang Che's. Fang Che, at the very least, had an uncle and grandfather who cared for him, and although his family's rank was not high, he had grown up with the finest of everything.
Ye Meng was undergoing concentrated training, and although she had cultivation resources, her foundational background was still a little inferior to Fang Che's.
After Fang Che became a disciple of Sun Yuan and started to have the best of both worlds, it was no longer something Ye Meng could compare to. Once they reached the White Cloud Martial Academy, with another leap in progress... Ye Meng would no longer be able to catch up.
After all, as an informant, it was impossible for resources to be delivered to her.
Speaking of Ye Meng's background and aptitude, she was still a fruit that Fang Che's fruit had nurtured.
Now, Fang Che deliberately left all the time for her, so she started to work hard.
In a short time, Fang Che didn't plan to let her do anything; in fact, during this long period, Fang Che clearly felt all of Ye Meng's mental changes and... progress.
Ye Meng was very detail-oriented, with an extremely high sensitivity and understanding of the Sword Dao. Her actions, at her age, could already be considered extremely meticulous.
Even some old foxes may not have her capabilities.
On Fang Che's side, being constantly guided by him, all aspects of her improvement were very fast.
Although in Fang Che's eyes, she was still a bit immature, but if she were to be sent out, the problem of standing alone would not be too big.
The drawback was the issue of vision.
But Fang Che didn't want to improve her in this regard for the time being; currently, being by his side as an informant, being able to pass on intelligence at any time, was the biggest role! It was even more significant than the role of a Southeast General Manager!
So Fang Che now deliberately gave her time, urging her to seize the time to improve her strength, and he was very strict. Some resources would not be withheld.
When this young lady left his side, Dong Fang San San would naturally arrange for her the most suitable position for her.
And the new role would begin then, and it wouldn't be too late.
...
The work of this day was uneventful.
In the afternoon, upon returning to the Guardian Pavilion, everyone in the Administrator Hall seemed a bit silent.
Many people often intentionally or unintentionally looked at those empty chairs and tables.
They were already cleaned up and empty.
Clean and tidy, as if no one had ever worked there.
As dusk approached.
Everyone turned around without a word.
Looking at the position where Ren Chang used to sit.
Today, well, from now on, no one would stand up and say, "Another day has passed."
Suddenly, it felt like something was missing.
Fang Che stood up, coughed, and said, "A day has passed. Everyone, it's time for the next shift!"
He took the lead and walked out.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all said in unison, "Another day has passed. Time for the next shift."
They all stood up.
Zhao Ying'e's eyes reddened, and she covered her mouth as she rushed out, feeling an urge to cry.
She rushed to the door and called out, "Zhao Zhi Shi."
"Zhao Zhi Shi," Fang Che turned around with a warm smile.
"In ten days, it will be Administrator Ren's birthday. Every year, he would treat everyone to a drink. On that day, I want to buy a few jars of wine to treat him. Will you come?"
Zhao Ying'e's voice was low.
Fang Che paused for a moment, "I'll go."
Zhao Ying'e's spirits lifted, and she said, "Then I'll prepare the wine. At that time, I'll wait for you at Administrator Ren's grave."
Fang Che was a bit puzzled as to why she didn't leave directly from the Guardian Pavilion, but instead wanted to go to Administrator Ren's grave first.
Zhao Ying'e explained, "Since I came here, Administrator Ren has been taking care of me. Before I understood my duties, he was the one leading me. I want to go ahead and visit Administrator Ren first."
Fang Che smiled understandingly, "Okay."
"Then... see you tomorrow."
Zhao Ying'e left.
Fang Che also silently returned home.
When he was at the Martial Academy, he didn't feel anything.
But after coming to the Guardian Pavilion, during this period, Fang Che himself felt that he had become more silent.
Especially after experiencing so many deaths.
It seemed that he, too, was becoming more and more silent.
Looking at the administrators who were walking out one by one behind him, Fang Che couldn't understand why.
Why?
Clearly, they have witnessed death and are aware of the dangers of their profession, but why aren't they more proactive in improving their cultivation?
Moreover, they all seem to have the mindset of 'let's just go home, relax, and enjoy life.'
Why? Shouldn't they be striving to improve their cultivation to face the potential crises that may arise at any moment? Fang Che found this hard to comprehend.
He even felt anxious for them: "Cultivate! What's the point of seeking comfort?"
However, what he didn't know was that the Guardian Pavilion's personnel also didn't understand this Fang Zhi Shi.
They couldn't fathom why he lived each day as if it were his last, rushing about, working, and cultivating without a moment's rest.
Clearly, the workload wasn't overwhelming.
Why was he pushing himself so hard? After cultivating for so many years, their cultivation had only reached its current level, and cultivation wasn't something that could be achieved overnight. Yet, this Fang Zhi Shi seemed to have no interest in the pleasures of life.
At the very least, he should enjoy the mortal world, right?
Sometimes, they, too, felt anxious for Fang Che: "Why are you pushing yourself so hard? Will the world end if you're not here?"
So, although they worked together, they were from two completely different worlds.
Some were living their lives, working, and going through the motions.
But others were always ready to risk their lives.
These two types of people even had different values.
They were destined to be incompatible.
Yet, Fang Che admired them. Although they didn't seem ambitious, each one cherished their life and seemed afraid, but when faced with a critical moment, they were willing to sacrifice without hesitation.
They didn't care about their lives or treasure their blood.
Sometimes, they were even more decisive than those who constantly walked the line between life and death.
Without hesitation, they would offer their lives.
Just like Ren Chang and the other administrators who had sacrificed during these days.
All for the sake of their duty at the Guardian Pavilion.
All for four sentences, sixteen characters:
"Ten thousand family lights, on my shoulders! Lives of ten thousand families, in my hands!"
They may not live as proactively as Fang Che, but when faced with death, Fang Che acknowledged that each of them was a hero.
"Perhaps this is the mortal world..."
As Fang Che approached the White Cloud Martial Academy, the closer he got, the more he felt like it was a whole different world.
Standing outside the academy's gates, Fang Che's mind suddenly wandered.
The thoughts he had been pondering on his way here, combined with the impact of the academy's 'different world' atmosphere, suddenly led to a clear realization.
"Yes, we all live in the same world, but different experiences create different worlds. And these worlds are incompatible with each other!"
"Compared to all their worlds, I am my own world."
Fang Che suddenly felt his mindset elevate.
His divine perception surged.
The little sprite, made of divine metal, was sleeping comfortably in Fang Che's warm divine perception. Suddenly awakened, it clearly felt its energy increase significantly.
The sprite was puzzled.
Where did this divine energy come from?
...
Fang Che arrived at the library.
The Divine Old Man's eyebrows rose in surprise: "You came empty-handed today?"
But the smile on his face showed that Fang Che's empty-handed arrival pleased him even more than if he had brought wine.
"I figured you still have plenty of stock, so I can freeload for a long time. That's why I came empty-handed."
"You're such a smooth talker."
The Divine Old Man was delighted.
After chatting for a while, Fang Che took out the divine crystal given to him by the Seal God Palace. When the palace had received so much, it had generously given him a hundred pieces, and he now presented one to the Old Man.
"Divine Teacher, isn't this the essence of divine power?" Fang Che asked, seeking praise.
"Essence of divine power?"
The Divine Old Man was startled, but upon examining it, he became relieved, though his expression turned solemn. "Where did you get this?"
"I got it from a mission at the Guardian Pavilion. I killed a few demon brats at the Guardian Pavilion, and this was found on one of them."
Fang Che explained, "I felt an immense amount of energy within it, and that demon brat seemed to value it highly. It should be the essence of divine power."
The Divine Old Man's eyes softened, and he said, "This isn't the essence of divine power, but it is a divine crystal. It's a by-product of the essence of divine power."
"Oh?"
"In fact, this thing, like the various spirit crystals we use for cultivation, is an auxiliary cultivation item. Naturally, it can also be used for trading special items."
"So it's not the essence of divine power."
"It has its uses. Although it can't restore my original state, it can help my body recover and slow down its rapid deterioration. But if I use it, it would be a waste. You should use it for cultivation to quickly improve your cultivation."
