157: Chapter 157 Gold Level 6
“Remember to work hard. If you haven’t reached Silver Rank when you return, don’t blame me for being heartless.”
At their farewell, Fang Yuan sternly warned his Little Sister.
Silver Rank One was the goal he set for Fang Ling, his Little Girl; it was both his mental expectation and the minimum target.
The reason he set Silver Rank One for her wasn't arbitrary; Fang Yuan had equipped her with Silver Rank true spirit artifacts worth hundreds of millions of energy points.
With a full set of Silver Rank true spirit artifacts, Black Iron Rank Nine Fang Ling possessed the strength of a Bronze Rank.
Possessing such powerful strength, continuously breaking through eleven or twelve Ranks was not difficult at all; Silver Rank One was already the smallest goal.
In his opinion, a month in the Instance should at least allow for a Breakthrough to Silver Rank One.
This was also considering that his Little Sister’s Talent was only Bronze Rank, and there would be a Bottleneck after Silver Rank, which is why he didn't set the goal too high.
“Hehe, Brother Yuan, you can rest assured. With so many treasures, my Rank will definitely soar…”
Fang Ling was full of confidence, relying on the four or five Silver Rank true spirit artifacts on her body. She wasn't worried at all about not reaching this goal later.
“Be careful. Don’t let anything unexpected happen and accidentally trigger your identity bracelet. If that happens, let alone Silver Rank One, it’s hard to say if you’ll even be able to make a Breakthrough.”
Fang Yuan really couldn’t stand it anymore. He directly extended his right hand and gave the Little Girl a flick on the head.
Bang!!
“Ooh~!”
A crisp sound rang out, and the hit Little Girl looked pitifully at her older brother, her big, teary eyes wide with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Fang Yuan wouldn't regret it just because of her pitiful appearance. He kept a stern Face, showing no pleasant expression.
“Hehe, Brother Yuan, are you really willing to hit Little Ling?”
Lan Ruoxi, standing beside them, watched her friend’s predicament with a giggle, showing no signs of solidarity.
At her words, Fang Ling felt too embarrassed to continue acting pitiful. She reluctantly dropped her expression, pretending as if nothing had happened.
However, a hint of anger flickered in her eyes as she looked at her friend, Lan Ruoxi.
She had just been hit by her own brother, and her friend was still making fun of her. How annoying.
“…”
The calm and steady Lan Ruolin looked at her lively younger sister, quite speechless.
“Hurry up and depart. You two Little Girls should also work hard. If you need anything, go find them; you can also borrow their true spirit artifacts.”
Fang Yuan didn't want to delay them any longer. After telling them to help each other once they arrived, he had the Twin Sisters depart with them.
For this adorable pair of Twin Sisters, at his Little Sister’s request, he had bought each of them a Silver Rank long saber.
As for other true spirit artifacts, there were none. Tens of millions in equipment was already a great help.
In this short time, Fang Yuan had acquired a set of Silver Rank true spirit artifacts for his parents, his Second Brother, his Second Sister-in-law, and his Little Sister.
The total cost amounted to over two billion, directly consuming more than half of his previous gains.
In the first ten days, during the period he was building the Demon Defense Fortress, he had obtained a total of 2.5 billion energy points and enough monster crystal cores to Cultivate for a long time.
Perhaps the first day was too frantic, with over five billion in gains, clearing out most of the monsters on one side.
As a result, over the next nine days, Fang Yuan and his squad's gains became increasingly smaller, with the last day yielding less than a tenth of the first day’s total.
After ten days, Squad had acquired about thirty billion energy points in total. Since he wasn't too concerned about these, Fang Yuan took two billion of it, along with some crystal cores.
However, if the Twin Sisters were willing to set aside their Face and borrow other true spirit artifacts from the five people, there would be no problem at all.
Normally, for ordinary professionals like them, being able to sustain a battle for three hours was already quite good.
During their rest breaks, Lan Ruolin and Lan Ruoxi could borrow true spirit artifacts from Fang Ling, Lin Xia, and Cai Lin.
Even if they couldn't set aside their Face, a single offensive true spirit artifact could still help them quickly raise their Rank.
Under Fang Yuan's instructions, the Little Girl Fang Ling held her friend's hand and stepped onto the teleportation array to the Void Realm Instance with her family.
As the light from the teleportation array dissipated, Fang Yuan himself left the array and returned to his newly built twenty-thousand-square-meter estate.
From site selection to completion, this estate, spanning over twenty thousand square meters, took less than half a month to build.
Although it only took a little over ten days, it lacked nothing that should be there; only the greenery, which requires time, seemed a bit abrupt.
Upon his return, Fang Yuan did not idle but continued to Cultivate diligently. He was currently not far from a Breakthrough to Gold Rank Six, needing only a little over two hundred meters more in perception.
At his current Cultivation speed, even if he only Cultivated by absorbing energy from crystal cores, he would only need four or five days at most to achieve a Breakthrough… With a Breakthrough imminent, Fang Yuan did not stop for the next four days. As soon as the time came, he absorbed crystal cores to enhance his perception.
In just four days, he absorbed fifteen Gold Rank Five crystal cores, worth nearly one hundred million energy points.
The effort and hard work brought rewards. On the evening of the fourth day, Fang Yuan’s Rank very smoothly reached Gold Rank Six.
The moment his Rank increased, a more powerful strength emerged, and his perception also exceeded thirteen thousand meters at that instant.
“Not bad. I finally possess the strength to rival a Gold Rank Peak professional…”
After his Breakthrough, Fang Yuan was very emotional. With this Breakthrough in Rank, he finally became one of the strongest individuals below the Legendary Rank.
