Chapter 46: Fire Congealing Fruit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Yuan followed the examiner to the main peak through the teleportation array, they walked for about ten minutes before arriving at the Gu Immortal Sect's main hall, where they usually dealt with important matters.

The examiner stopped here.

“The sect master is waiting for you in the back hall. Don't worry, compared to the elders, he is still easy to interact with.”

“Really?”

Fang Yuan did not believe it. As the sect master of Gu Immortal Sect, he was definitely a peerless expert with outstanding talent. Not to mention being cold and aloof like Senior Wan Qian, he should at least have some dignity.

The examiner patted his shoulder: “Don't worry, the sect master's bad temper is only for outsiders.”

Fang Yuan understood: “Thank you for your advice, Martial Uncle.”

“Haha, maybe next time we meet, you'll call me Senior instead of Martial Uncle.”

The examiner laughed. His martial nephew Fang Yuan was not old and had been ordinary for many years. He did not expect him to advance so quickly after accumulating so much experience. In the blink of an eye, he was already at the Enlightenment Realm. He felt a little emotional in his heart, and he lowered his voice and said, “Just go there directly. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Remember not to hunch over when you meet the sect master. He hates soft bones the most.”

“Take care, Martial Uncle.”

Fang Yuan nodded while saying goodbye to the other party.

In fact, he did not really care about this meeting.

Whether it was the First Elder or the sect master, in reality, they were not of much help in terms of cultivation. At most, they would provide some resources within the scope of their authority.

He was now a guardian of the Xu family. He could get more than 100,000 primeval stones worth of materials a year. The small amount of money that the sect's monthly salary gave him was already something that he did not think much of, unless the sect master opened a backdoor for him and provided him with unlimited cultivation resources.

However, this was impossible. The sect belonged to everyone, and the resources that everyone could get were all based on the sect's status. Any more would not do, and it was very strict.

Fang Yuan looked down on these material resources, but he was very concerned about his reputation and status.

This was the guarantee for him to explore the secular world in the future.

If he could be called Gu Zhenren's personal disciple, anyone would give him some face.

His family would also be much safer in transporting goods.

Thinking of this, he remembered that he had promised to give Shi Hao and the others some talismans that could conceal their aura. He had been busy since he returned to the sect and had forgotten about this matter.

It seemed that he still had to find time to deal with it.

Then, Fang Yuan went through the main hall as the examiner had said. He came to the garden outside the back hall and found the right direction. Finally, he stood in front of a house with an open door.

Gu Zhenren was writing inside.

“Disciple Fang Yuan greets the sect master.”

“Come in.”

Gu Zhenren's voice was deep and low. It was obvious that he was extraordinary.

It was unknown if he had reached the Synthesis Realm.

Fang Yuan walked into the house.

Gu Zhenren turned around. He looked like a middle-aged man and had a smile on his face. He pointed at the chair beside him.

“Sit, don't be shy. You might come here often in the future, just treat it as your own home.”

Fang Yuan did not stand on ceremony, he even ate the fruits on the table after sitting down.

With a light bite, the juice splashed everywhere, It was sweet and cool.

Not long after, a burning sensation rose in his acupoints, directly stripping away half of Fang Yuan's gaseous spiritual essence and swimming towards his entire body.

The next moment, his meridians were burning like they were on fire, unable to endure the heat.

“This is a fire congealing fruit. After consuming it, the spiritual essence will be burned to temper your meridians.”

Gu Zhenren explained at the right time. “In the future, when you absorb the World Spirit Essence, it will be much faster than it was before, but if you eat too much of this fruit, it will start to lose its effect, just like with medicine.”

Fang Yuan sensed carefully and found that the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual essence was indeed much faster.

“Thank you for the reward, Sect Master.”

Gu Zhenren looked at him with a faint smile, “I didn't call you here to ask you to thank me.”

Fang Yuan knew that Gu Zhenren wanted him to take the initiative to acknowledge him as his master.

He was silent for a while and slowly shook his head.

“I may have to disappoint you, Sect Master.”

The smile on Gu Zhenren's face froze, revealing some dignity, “Why, will being my personal disciple wrong you?”

“Sect Master, you are the leader of the sect, naturally I will not be wronged.”

Fang Yuan explained, “But this matter came so suddenly, and I was not prepared at all. I wanted to think about it carefully before saying anything.”

Gu Zhenren slowly nodded, agreeing with this statement.

The path of Gu refinement indeed needed to be considered carefully. After becoming a master, one would have to cultivate with the cultivation method of their master's lineage. If there was a conflict with the cultivation method they cultivated previously, it would be troublesome.

Gu Zhenren waved his hand and did not make things difficult for Fang Yuan, saying, “Since that is the case, let's wait for the Dao seeking trial three days later. If you agree, you can participate directly, I will keep an eye on you then.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Sect Master.” Fang Yuan raised his hand and bowed.

Gu Zhenren snorted, “At that time, if your performance is not outstanding enough, I might not take you in.”

“It will be nice to get it, but I can't help it if I lose it. If I miss out on Sect Master's offer because of this, I can only say that I have no fate with you.”

“You are quite open-minded.”

Gu Zhenren was very appreciative of Fang Yuan's open-minded thinking, since there were very few young people like him in the sect. He waved his hand, “Alright, you can leave now, I'm getting annoyed just looking at you.”

“I'll take my leave now.”

“Wait a minute.” Gu Zhenren stopped him again and glanced at the fire congealing fruit on the table. “Take this away.”

“This… isn't good, right?”

This kind of thing that could speed up the absorption of spiritual essence seemed to be very valuable. It was embarrassing to give it to him like this.

“It was prepared for you. Consider it a reward for treating Wan Qian's cold poison.”

Fang Yuan was shocked. “How did Sect Master know…”

“Don't worry, no one is peeping.”

Gu Zhenren walked to the table and continued writing. At the same time, he said, “Wan Qian was able to walk around the sect today. Someone reported the news. This is all thanks to you.”

Fang Yuan understood and accepted the fire congealing fruit without any psychological burden.

“You may leave.”

“Disciple will take his leave.”

Fang Yuan did not stay any longer. He still had to make a trip to the scripture depository to search for books related to the power of Yin and Yang.

Gu Zhenren looked at Fang Yuan's disappearing figure at the door and could not help but shake his head.

He had spent eight thousand primeval stones to obtain the fire congealing fruit, but he had not even bought a disciple.

If First Elder and Second Elder heard this, they would laugh at him.
