32: Chapter 32 Taking Office

Fang Yuan returned to his Immortal Cave and began to pack his belongings.

On the way, he sent a message to Yu Jin.

By the time he finished packing,

Yu Jin had already arrived.

After entering Fang Yuan's Immortal Cave, he asked anxiously, "Fang Yuan, are you really leaving the branch?"

"Yes, I obtained the status of Inner Sect Disciple early and am heading to Cloud Mist Mountain to be stationed there," Fang Yuan said.

"Is it that sudden?" Yu Jin couldn't help but exclaim.

Remembering something, he hurriedly handed over a Storage Pouch.

"I've prepared almost all the herbs you wanted, take a look."

Fang Yuan took it and saw that the herbs worth 30,000 Spirit Stones were all prepared.

"Thank you for gathering them!" Fang Yuan paused and said, "After I arrive at Cloud Mist Mountain, I wonder if I can continue trading with you?"

Yu Jin pondered for a moment and said, "I will contact my Family. You can trade with my Family members then. Rest assured, they will definitely trade with you at the best possible discount!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded, "Then that's no problem!"

"You are truly full of surprises. I am still fumbling with my Cultivation, and you are already going to hold down the fort on your own," Yu Jin sighed and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Fang Yuan said, "I still need to go to the Scripture Pavilion to exchange for some scriptures and classics, and then I'll be heading to Cloud Mist Mountain. I won't bid you farewell then."

"Alright!" Yu Jin clenched his fists, "When I go out of the Sect to gain experience, I will go to Cloud Mist Mountain to visit you!"

"Haha, I will definitely sweep the floor to welcome you!" Fang Yuan smiled.

The two conversed for a moment, and then Yu Jin took his leave.

Not long after Fang Yuan saw Yu Jin off, he saw Li Mengyao approaching gracefully.

Li Mengyao quickly arrived before him and said with a serious expression, "Senior Brother Fang, are you going out to handle Sect matters?"

"Yes," Fang Yuan asked, "Are you here to see me off?"

Li Mengyao continued to ask, "Where are you going?"

"Cloud Mist Mountain," Fang Yuan said calmly.

"There?" Li Mengyao said thoughtfully, "I happen to have three city territories near there, and I also have some subordinates there."

Fang Yuan said in surprise, "Oh? That's quite a coincidence."

Li Mengyao locked her gaze on him and whispered, "Senior Brother Fang, actually, you are that mysterious person who sells the Top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pill, right?"

"So what if I am, and what if I'm not?" Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"I know you need some raw Materials and don't want to be too conspicuous. I can continue to conduct secret trades with you in the future. I really need your top-grade Medicinal Pill, and I have secret channels to purchase the raw Materials and other items you want. This is a mutually beneficial matter," Li Mengyao stared at Fang Yuan with burning eyes.

As expected of a princess, she is very smart.

Fang Yuan pondered and said, "If you can guarantee secrecy, I can trade with you."

"It's a deal!" Li Mengyao was overjoyed.

She took out a conch shell with great care.

"This is a Sound Transmission Conch, used in pairs. When you have a need, you can contact me through this!"

Fang Yuan nodded and took the Sound Transmission Conch.

Li Mengyao nodded at him, then her figure flashed and disappeared.

Fang Yuan shook his head and headed to the Scripture Pavilion.

In the Exchange Room, he used the [Mountain Master Token] to obtain a batch of Cultivation scriptures for free; this was the branch's gratuitous support for him to build a stronghold.

Subsequently, he exchanged for a large number of notes on the Cultivation of the "Cloud Qi Art".

He also exchanged for notes on the Cultivation of the "Xiao Yan One-Nine True Art".

After purchasing some Spells and secret arts as supplements, he left the Scripture Pavilion.

He spent a total of 50,000 contribution points.

Then he went to Zhanchen Peak, bought over a hundred Yao Beast corpses, and left gracefully.

Han Zimo happened to be honing his sword skills at the slaughterhouse and saw Fang Yuan's act of buying a large number of Yao Beast corpses.

He felt something was wrong.

He waited for a moment, but couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, so he rode a flying bird to the front of Fang Yuan's Immortal Cave.

He was about to ring the bell, but he discovered that this Immortal Cave was already in an ownerless state.

"Where is he?"

Han Zimo was extremely puzzled. He pondered for a moment, then went to Qiyun Peak to contact Yu Jin, and from him, he learned the news that Fang Yuan had already left the Sect.

At this moment, Han Zimo felt somewhat lost.

"I haven't defeated you yet, and you've already left the Sect? Hmph! When my strength improves, I will go find you for another battle to prove that I am the strongest existence among this batch of Disciples!"

Han Zimo hurriedly returned to Zhanchen Peak and entered into Cultivation again. This time, he didn't know why, even though nothing had happened, he inexplicably felt a surge of energy pent up in his heart, and he became even more diligent!

Fang Yuan was unaware of all this.

He came to the peak where the Sect rented flying boats.

There was a huge platform halfway up the mountain, with hundreds of flying boats docked there.

Fang Yuan came to a Disciple and asked, "Can I rent a flying boat here?"

"Yes, where are you going? We have Disciples here who can provide dedicated transport."

Fang Yuan asked, "How many Spirit Stones to go to Cloud Mist Mountain?"

"Five hundred Spirit Stones!"

Fang Yuan nodded, "Deal, take me there!"

He liked taking flying vehicles; they were fast and safe.

"Straightforward! I'll call someone, we can depart very soon!"

Fang Yuan was led by someone to a flying boat.

A Senior Brother at the seventh level of Qi Refining walked over and introduced with a smile:

"This is the first-rank High Grade flying boat, the Green Feather; it is very fast. You will be at Cloud Mist Mountain in over half an hour."

"Alright!"

Fang Yuan stepped onto the flying boat.

This Senior Brother immediately started the flying boat, and then it shot into the sky like an arrow off a bowstring.

Whoosh!

The flying boat cut through the clouds and rushed towards Cloud Mist Mountain at an extremely fast speed.

This Senior Brother was extremely familiar with the Hongmeng territory, and during the process, he bypassed many places, finally landing steadily at the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain.

"We're here!"

Fang Yuan thanked the Senior Brother, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

"You're welcome."

The Senior Brother flew up into the sky and piloted the flying boat back.

Fang Yuan watched the disappearing flying boat and calculated, "The round trip consumes a total of 108 Spirit Stones and a portion of spiritual power, with a net profit of 392 Spirit Stones. If I could deliver a few more trips a day, wouldn't earning 20,000 Spirit Stones a month be easy? It's higher than the annual profit of Cloud Mist Mountain. No wonder no Inner Sect Disciple is willing to come to this Cloud Mist Mountain."

He shook his head and stepped onto Cloud Mist Mountain.

Stepping onto the mountain path.

Fang Yuan felt the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the surroundings; compared to the branch, it was a difference of more than ten times.

Not only the concentration, but the purity of the Spiritual Qi was also vastly different. If this were used for Cultivation, it would take a lot of effort to purify the spiritual power.

The Spiritual Qi contained in the vegetation was extremely scarce. After scanning carefully with his Spiritual Sense, he actually couldn't find a single most common Spiritual Plant.

"This mountain is too barren. Wasn't it said that there is a first-rank High Grade Spiritual Vein underneath?"

Fang Yuan continued to walk up. The higher he went, the concentration of Spiritual Qi rose slightly, but it was still not high.

When he reached halfway up the mountain, he finally saw a pavilion for resting by the roadside.

A small archway stood in the middle of the mountain path, with the words "Luoyun Sect Cloud Mist Villa" written on it.

Two Disciples were sitting in the pavilion chatting, each holding a fan and fanning themselves slowly.

It wasn't until Fang Yuan walked up close that a thin man noticed him, immediately stood up, and asked in astonishment, "Who are you?"

The other, fatter Disciple also hurriedly stood up and stared intently at Fang Yuan.
