Chapter 449: Fang Che vs. Feng Yun [10,000-Word Chapter] (Part 1)

Fang Che knew that this realm was an extremely rare opportunity for a being like the Golden Horned Dragon.

The Golden Horned Dragon's growth had no successful precedents, nor any established rules or experiences to follow.

Perhaps this was the only chance for the Golden Horned Dragon to rapidly grow.

How could Fang Che let this opportunity slip by?

The Golden Horned Dragon was overjoyed and began to take action, previously acting stealthily, but now with permission.

And so, with great confidence, he left.

His illusory body emerged from the Divine Perception Space, instantly transforming into a hundred zhang tall figure, swaying as he roared and departed.

Fang Che felt refreshed in body and mind.

Once again, he scouted three thousand li ahead and collected over a dozen Spirit Herbs.

Then, he casually found a tree, set up restrictions, and took a rest.

Time passed bit by bit.

According to Fang Che's calculations, it had been about half a year.

The Yin-Yang Realm's trial was almost over, with only a few months remaining.

Fang Che swept through the area like a hurricane, clearing the frontlines.

During this time, he even felt grateful for the Demon Wolf King's relentless pursuit.

Because, if not for that relentless chase, he would never have left the main group and ventured to the frontlines alone.

If he had stayed at the back, unable to break away, by the time everyone arrived, he would have been lucky to obtain one-thirtieth of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"Being chased also has its benefits."

Fang Che also considered whether to return and stir up trouble between the various Reclusive Sects and the Only Righteous Sect.

But after seeing so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Fang Che decided to postpone his plan.

There are gains and losses in everything.

Prioritizing tasks is essential, as the Yin-Yang Realm only opens once every thousand years. Missing this opportunity would mean waiting another millennium, and who knows what the Heavenly Palace and Netherworld might bring by then.

Moreover, by that time, his cultivation would have surpassed them.

Currently, obtaining enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is the top priority.

The Guardian's foundation will be strengthened by these treasures.

As for stirring up trouble... there's plenty of time, and he can do it in the outside world as well.

What Fang Che didn't know was that Dong Yun Yu was doing what he couldn't, and even better!

This guy was like a giant stirrer of shit, acting without any bottom line, taking what he could, stealing when he could, with exceptional skills and incredible speed, rarely failing.

He caused chaos among the various Reclusive Sects.

Sometimes claiming to be from the Only Righteous Sect, sometimes impersonating Yin Yunxiao, and even perfectly disguising himself as Jiang Bi Huang.

Robbery had become a part of Dong Yun Yu's life.

He had a clear self-awareness: "I'm slow and not very careful. Searching for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures one by one is tiring. It's much faster and more efficient to rob."

So, he put his robbery principles into practice.

It must be said that Fang Che bringing Dong Yun Yu into the Yin-Yang Realm for this trial was indeed a brilliant move.

In this aspect, even if Fang Che had brought all the participants from the Youth Friendship Battle, purely in terms of effectiveness, they might not have achieved as much as Dong Yun Yu alone!

Dong Yun Yu's shit-stirring nature and his fearlessness of chaos allowed him to thrive in this dark world like a fish in water.

He roared as he came and left, never missing a beat, his reach extending for thousands of li.

He appeared and disappeared like a ghost.

The various Reclusive Sects' disciples cried out in misery.

If they could see what was happening outside, it would be better, as even the bold Dong Yun Yu wouldn't dare to be so brazen.

But inside, even they couldn't see themselves.

Dong Yun Yu abandoned all caution.

And... without knowing, he even robbed Feng Yun once.

Feng Yun discovered a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure and was digging it up when Dong Yun Yu arrived like a hurricane, grabbed it, and ran off with it.

He even tore the Spirit Herb in half, taking only the upper half as he fled.

Feng Yun was almost driven mad with rage, chasing Dong Yun Yu with his Divine Perception, trying to kill this despicable thief.

If not for encountering a Heavenly Palace disciple later, Dong Yun Yu would have charged in, causing chaos, and he might have died at Feng Yun's hands.

When Feng Yun charged over, the Heavenly Palace disciples treated him as an enemy, immediately attacking without hesitation.

Dong Yun Yu seized the opportunity to escape.

Instead, Feng Yun was drawn into a fierce battle with the Heavenly Palace.

He managed to escape after a hard-fought battle, but a Heavenly Palace disciple died by Feng Yun's sword.

Jiang Bi Huang cried out in anguish: "Feng Yun! You deserve to die! You robbed us, and you even killed someone!"

Feng Yun broke through the encirclement and fled.

He didn't bother to argue or explain.

He wouldn't say something like, 'I never robbed you,' because that reminded him: 'I can rob them!'

Since they accused him of robbery, he would show them robbery!

He couldn't let their slander go unanswered...

Yan Bei Han had been searching for Spirit Herbs while keeping an eye on Fang Che's whereabouts, but... since entering, she had lost all sense of him.

No matter how she searched, it was as if Fang Che had vanished from this world.

Yan Bei Han felt dejected for a long time.

Soon, she began a series of actions, including searching, robbing, and plotting.

The team ventured deeper.

Then, everyone simultaneously discovered that after traveling a certain distance, they came across a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. They searched ahead, checked left and right, but... there was nothing. The place was completely empty.

However, someone sensed the traces of previous excavations.

"Someone is already ahead of us."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped searching and started flying forward.

But Fang Che, who was at the forefront, continued to search and dig.

One remained stationary, while the other accelerated forward.

Inevitably, the distance between them began to close.

Feng Yun and Yan Bei Han, with their exceptional strength, had already rushed ahead to cover the distance.

Feng Yun noticed a faint flickering white light ahead, indicating a treasure, but it was clear that someone had already discovered it and was in the process of digging...

He drew his sword and approached silently, unleashing a swift strike.

However, the opponent was prepared, and a sword flew towards him.

Two clashing sounds rang out as their weapons collided.

Feng Yun felt a familiar surge of spiritual energy and retreated, "Little Han?"

"Feng Yun?"

Yan Bei Han was startled, surprised to encounter this fellow again.

Feng Yun smiled, "Since it's you, take it, I'm leaving."

He turned and drifted away.

Yan Bei Han hummed and accelerated his digging, then shook his hand, storing the item in his spatial ring before speeding off in another direction.

She had no desire to meet Feng Yun again.

Somehow, encountering this guy always seemed to bring trouble.

In the darkness, Fang Che searched cautiously. When he arrived, he saw a faint white light, but as he approached, it disappeared.

Scanning with his divine perception, he found a dense thicket of bushes.

Hidden within the darkness was a monster beast, motionless, but the aura it emitted made Fang Che feel a sense of danger.

Without hesitation, he summoned the Netherworld Gun.

With one shot, he shattered the entire thicket.

An intense surge of killing intent and deathly energy erupted like a tidal wave.

The monster in the darkness let out a strange cry and charged forward like lightning.

Puff, puff, puff...

After three rounds of combat, the monster beast, pierced by the Netherworld Gun, let out a miserable cry. Realizing its disadvantage, it turned tail and fled.

"!!"

Fang Che was stunned.

This was the first guardian spirit beast he had encountered that chose to flee.

All the previous ones had fought to the death, never retreating. This one, so afraid of death, had abandoned its duty of guarding the spirit herb, a first for Fang Che.

Moreover, this was the first beast that hadn't been killed by the Netherworld Gun!

"It has no honor."

Then he began to search for the spirit herb.

He was perplexed; why was the white light gone when he got close?

He pinched the shattered thicket with his hand and realized it had all withered.

Feeling around, he grabbed two vines.

Suddenly, he realized,

"These aren't bushes!"

"These are the ground branches and leaves of the spirit herb! So many, and they've all withered..."

Fang Che carefully felt around on the ground.

After a while, he found a tiny sprout on the ground.

The faint glow was coming from this sprout.

"So many vines, such a tiny sprout... The thing below must be quite large."

Fang Che stepped back, put away the Netherworld Gun, and took out a long sword, digging deeply into the ground from a distance.

Spiritual energy flowed with the sword, penetrating the earth and causing a slight tremor. The hard layer of soil began to crumble.

Then, his divine perception wrapped around it, examining what it was.

"A yam?"

Fang Che was surprised.

Using his divine perception to touch it, he found it was indeed a yam, but it was very thick, as thick as his own thigh, and about three zhang long.

Fang Che was bewildered.

This thing, which was also cultivated by the commoners of the Guardian Continent, was quite a delicacy on the dinner table.

Fang Che never expected that the thing shimmering with faint light in the Yin-Yang Realm would be this.

No wonder the vines above had withered and then sprouted anew.

"Since I've dug it up, I might as well make soup when I get back."

Fang Che continued to dig vigorously, reaching a depth of four zhang, and with his spiritual energy, he shook the soil until it turned to powder. Then, he carefully grasped the middle of the yam and pulled it out intact.

Holding it in his hand, it felt quite heavy.

As thick as a thigh and three and a half zhang long.

In his hand, it emitted a rich fragrance.

"It must weigh four to five hundred jin."

Fang Che exclaimed.

It was indeed the first time he had seen such a large yam, and he had no idea how many years it had grown.

"It's a bit strange. If I remember correctly, yams in the outside world have a lifespan of at most three to five years, right? They wither and rot over time. But this yam has grown to such a size, and it's still alive after who knows how many years..."

"It's truly bizarre."

Just then,

A sword light suddenly attacked, and Fang Che instinctively blocked with his sword, his body drifting to the side as he stored the yam in his spatial ring.

Clang!

Fang Che's body retreated three zhang, and his wrist felt slightly numb.

A master!

He focused his divine perception, fully alert, and holding his sword, he looked into the darkness and said calmly, "Only Me Righteous Sect's Feng Yun?"

In Fang Che's mind, only a few people in the Yin-Yang Realm could make his wrist go numb after a single encounter.

Yan Bei Han and Feng Yun were among the top contenders.

Jiang Bi Huang, Jiang Bi Xiao, and Yin Yunxiao were also possibilities.

But no one else could do this.

However, Jiang Bi Huang, Jiang Bi Xiao, and Yin Yunxiao might not be able to achieve the sharpness and tricky angles demonstrated in this attack, showcasing their rich martial world experience, their determination to kill, and their disregard for human life...

It was probably Feng Yun.

This was Fang Che's first judgment.

In the darkness,

The opponent was about to strike again but stopped upon hearing Fang Che's words.

"Are you the lone guardian, Fang Che? Fang Zhi Shi?" he asked calmly, his voice gentle and elegant, exuding a sense of nobility and composure.

This voice belonged to Feng Yun.

Feng Yun was feeling a bit anxious.

He had just arrived and witnessed someone unearthing a spiritual herb from underground, emitting a dense white light. Feng Yun immediately recognized what it was.

In a hurry, he rushed over to rob them, but to his surprise, the other party seemed well-prepared and blocked his seemingly inevitable strike.

Not even a scratch was inflicted.

Although he couldn't see the other party's face or figure, Feng Yun had a good idea that not many could achieve this feat.

Moreover, the others were either calling out or surrounding him, and he had just encountered Yan Bei Han.

The person in front of him could only be Fang Che.

When Fang Che spoke, his voice further confirmed Feng Yun's suspicion.

Both of their judgments were extremely accurate.

For a moment, they both felt the same: "This person cannot be underestimated."

"As expected, it's Young Master Feng."

Fang Che calmly said, "Young Master Feng, are you here to rob me?"

Feng Yun assessed the martial prowess of both sides. From the previous exchange, the other party might be slightly weaker than him, but if they wanted to escape, it would be effortless.

Robbing them was out of the question.

With a faint smile, Feng Yun said, "Since I've already recognized you, Mr. Fang, the idea of robbing you is naturally out of the question. Although I, Feng Yun, am arrogant, I don't have the confidence to rob you."

"Young Master Feng, you're too kind."

Fang Che said, "If that's the case, then let's... go our separate ways?"

"Wait a moment."

Feng Yun said, "I have a few matters to discuss with Brother Fang, if you don't mind."

Fang Che calmly asked, "What matters?"

Feng Yun smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Fang, there's no need to be so guarded. Although you're from the Guardian's camp, and I'm from the Only Righteous Sect, we're mortal enemies in the outside world. But even between enemies, there can be peace and cooperation, don't you agree?"

Fang Che paused for a moment and said, "Face-saving is something both sides need. Just like how you, Young Master Feng, boldly informed the Guardian about the Only Righteous Sect. We can accept that, and it has nothing to do with our affiliations. It's just a matter of courtesy."

"Not bad, Mr. Fang, you see through it."

Feng Yun laughed, "Moreover, after entering the Yin-Yang Realm, in some places, for some purposes, we might actually be on the same side."

His words carried a deeper meaning, but he believed Fang Che would understand.

Fang Che paused again and said, "Young Master Feng is right."

"That's why I'm being so bold as to discuss it with Brother Fang."

Feng Yun had laid the groundwork and spoke straightforwardly, "The herb in Brother Fang's hand, if I'm not mistaken, is a mountain herb."

"Young Master Feng has a keen eye."

"Brother Fang, although this mountain herb is large, its use for cultivators' divine perception isn't significant."

Feng Yun's eyes flashed in the darkness.

However, in the Yin-Yang Realm, no one could see anyone else. Therefore, observing facial expressions and body language was impossible for both parties.

Fang Che didn't notice Feng Yun's expression.

Feng Yun's voice was sincere, as if he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

He was very earnest.

"So, I'd like to discuss with Brother Fang and ask if you could let me have this mountain herb?"

Feng Yun said with a hearty laugh, "As a return, I can offer Brother Fang resource divine stones, divine crystals, and pills to aid in his cultivation or to save his life in times of crisis."

He calmly said, "Perhaps Brother Fang has realized that I entered with a space ring."

Fang Che said, "Since this mountain herb isn't very useful, why does Young Master Feng specifically want it?"

Feng Yun said, "Brother Fang might not know, but although this herb isn't very useful for cultivation, it has significant effects in other aspects."

Fang Che said, "Oh? Please elaborate."

"This mountain herb, having grown for so many years and in the Yin-Yang Realm, has acquired another name—the Yin-Yang Root."

Feng Yun smiled and said calmly, "In other words, this thing has a strong nourishing effect on a man's abilities."

"For women, it also has beauty and anti-aging effects, nourishing the kidneys and replenishing Yin."

"So, this mountain herb can be used as the main ingredient to refine the Eternal Youth Pill for women and the Heavenly Yang Pill for men to maintain their virility for life."

Feng Yun's voice carried a hint of laughter as he said, "These two things are both good. I need them."

Fang Che blinked and said, "In that case, this thing is not bad."

Feng Yun laughed and said, "Men, those who understand, understand. The Eternal Youth Pill is an irresistible temptation for any woman to maintain eternal youth, while the Heavenly Yang Pill can enhance a man's abilities... When combined, one can enjoy boundless pleasures."

Fang Che said strangely, "I don't believe that Young Master Feng still needs something like the Heavenly Yang Pill."

Feng Yun smiled, "Mr. Fang, aren't you already married? You should know that some things aren't measured by cultivation level.
