Chapter 57 -56 Wedding (Congratulations to the Head of the Book Proofreading Team in Loquat Shade!)_1
Another month had passed.
On this day,
Fang Xi looked at the calligraphy he had copied and found that every character was full of spirit and flawlessly round, as if they were about to emit a brilliant light.
“God and Strength Fusion… I’ve done it!”
At that moment, Fang Xi felt that the True Strength circulating within his body did whatever he desired, to the point where he felt an urge under his skin to break through… yet it was merely an urge.
“They say that a Real Gang Martial Saint can externalize their True Gang, it seems to be true…”
God and Strength Fusion represents the pinnacle of the exquisite circulation of True Strength!
And as for a Grandmaster, it is the transformation of True Strength into True Gang!
True Gang not only greatly increases destructive and defensive power but can even move outside the body!
After completing this step, Fang Xi was now a Fourth-Step Martial Teacher, at the peak of this realm.
Next would be God Merging with Nature, the unity of Heaven and Man, in order to advance to Grandmaster!
“What a pity… Yuanhe Mountain has some experience with Four-Step Martial Teachers, but how to break through to Grandmaster… Linghu Shan doesn’t have the secret methods… otherwise, he wouldn’t have been trapped for twenty years!”
After finishing writing, Fang Xi was in a good mood and went to the training ground.
At this time, Sun Hongdie was the only person on the training ground.
During this past month, a few disciples had sporadically come to become apprentices, but they quickly left…
“Master… when can I master Qi Blood and enter the Qi Blood First Transformation?”
Seeing Fang Xi approaching, Sun Hongdie’s eyes were full of grievance.
Every time, her master would say that she was uniquely talented and that entering the Qi Blood First Transformation was just a matter of moments, but now… several months had gone by, and she hadn’t even reached the beginner level.
“Soon, very soon.”
Fang Xi smiled faintly, “No need to rush…”
In reality, Sun Hongdie’s aptitude for martial arts was even worse than he had expected.
Moreover, this disciple had to be distracted by many chores at home every day; she couldn’t calm down and focus on training, so any achievement would be a miracle!
His previous praises were all just to coddle the child.
Watching Sun Hongdie’s face puff up like a steamed bun, Fang Xi laughed without any grace.
‘Ah, it’s only now that I feel like a youth again…’ he thought.
Thinking back to his eighteenth birthday that had quietly passed not long ago, Fang Xi felt a bit sentimental.
After arriving in the Great Liang World, he was busy training and breaking through, so he didn’t have time to celebrate this significant day.
Perhaps it was because he had once been through greater hardships.
‘I wonder how the situation in Green Bamboo Mountain is? Has the Situ Family been defeated yet?’
Another thought flashed through, but Fang Xi had no interest in the fate of the Situ Family.
Currently, it must be a time of great chaos; the methods of a mere second-layer Body Refiner were not secure.
It was better for him to avoid this dangerous period, at least wait a year or two before going back to assess the situation…

What made Fang Xi somewhat melancholic was that after finishing that bottle of Wood Origin Pill, his progress in Magic Power had almost come to a standstill.
After all, the spiritual energy in the Great Liang World was extremely thin.
To make progress, he would have to switch to absorbing the spiritual energy within Spirit Stones while cultivating.
But this was too extravagant an action, considering that Spirit Stones were mostly emergency items used by cultivators to break through or recover Magic Power during combat.
Therefore, Fang Xi resisted the impulse and just circulated his cultivation technique once every day before going about his other tasks.
‘The Fourth Level pinnacle of Eternal Spring Skills is just so…’ he mused.
‘The key at the moment is to break through and become a True Gang Martial Saint!’
‘Also, Monster Beast Meat easily rots and spoils, but their hides, bones, and fur don’t… if I collect more, and later transport them to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, it will definitely become a great fortune!’
After all, Yue Country is a cultivated immortal nation with dense population and few primitive forests; naturally, monster beasts are even rarer.
Sometimes, if a monster beast suddenly appears, it might well be hunted down by cultivators from all directions!
As the monster beasts became rarer, the price of monster beast resources kept rising.
This was the opportunity to earn Spirit Stones!
‘The Demon Hunting Society, as well as Yuanhe Mountain… and that old man from Linghu Shan, he must have good stuff on hand!’
Fang Xi immediately made up his mind to visit Linghu Shan more often in the future to chat and see if he could gain some benefits.
…
“Master, those beggars are here again!”
Half an hour later, Sun Hongdie, who had been called back home for a meal, looked at the small string of copper coins left at the door, grabbed them in her hand, and scurried back to give them to Fang Xi.
She was referring to Qing Sang and Dai.
Since ten days ago, those two kids would occasionally appear near the martial arts school, leave something behind, and then leave.
“It looks like they’re doing well for themselves,” Fang Xi remarked.
Sitting in the grandmaster’s chair, he took a sip of tea from the purple clay teapot and ordered Sun Hongdie, “Call them in!”
Sun Hongdie hopped out cheerfully.
It wasn’t long before the two little beggars walked in.
Though their clothes were still ragged, their complexions had improved a lot. Upon seeing Fang Xi, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed: “Qing Sang (Dai), we greet the school master!”
“You two at least know gratitude and have learned to repay it, not bad…”
Fang Xi was quite satisfied. Being able to get food and money so quickly meant they must have mastered the ‘moon-stealing style’.
This move’s sudden burst of power, even if executed by children, could be more than adequate against ordinary people, and might even be too much for the Martial Trainees at the Qi Blood First Transformation to handle.
Unexpectedly, by casually saving two kids and teaching them a little something, he had discovered their talents were indeed not bad.
“Now… take off your jackets!” Fang Xi instructed.
Qing Sang was taken aback, and then, just like Dai, he took off his tattered shirt.
On their bodies were a vast amount of filth, pustules, and scars…
Fang Xi glanced over the rest, and his gaze stopped at their arms and shoulders, as well as their palms.
It could be seen that Qing Sang had a huge injury on his shoulder, likely caused by his rigorous practice of the “moon-stealing style.”
On the other hand, Dai’s shoulder did not have a single injury, but he nevertheless caught Fang Xi’s attention.
“Not bad, not bad…”
Fang Xi turned to Dai, “You’ve not only mastered the moon-stealing style but also added a bit of your own flair to it, not rigidly practicing like this fool beside you…”
Dai had a blank expression, seemingly not understanding.
Qing Sang was left with his mouth half-open, somewhat in disbelief.
But he swiftly reflected that he had learned “martial arts,” practiced exhausting himself daily, and failed to succeed in his first real fight. If not for Dai’s intervention, he might have been killed by that infuriated beggar!
Now it seemed, was Dai’s talent stronger than his?
As for Fang Xi, he had some thoughts of his own.
He did indeed need to cultivate some people as little mice, to master his Mixed Origin True Skill.
After all, this skill was self-created, and it might indeed have some problems.
Finding and correcting the deficiencies in the skill could perhaps be helpful in becoming a Grandmaster!
“Very well, from today on, you two are apprentices at Youjian Martial Arts School. The things I gave you earlier will serve as the tuition fee. Starting today, practice martial arts for two hours a day… and maybe one day, you’ll become experts.”
Fang Xi smiled, his figure suddenly moving to the center of the training ground.
Sun Hongdie was startled; she was always watching Fang Xi and had not noticed how he moved.
‘Could it be that my master is really a great expert?’ she thought.
Her eyes widened, somewhat incredulously.
Fang Xi, however, couldn’t be bothered with her, and started demonstrating the Mixed Origin Fist Skills.
This was the beginner part of his adapted “Mixed Origin True Skill,” meant to speed up the condensation of qi and blood, and then break through to True Power!
“My Mixed Origin Fist Skills come with a verse—Body like a bow, legs like pine, fists like wind, intent like the void!”
Fang Xi executed each move, “If you want to learn martial arts, you must put in hard work! Don’t be fooled by my youth; I’ve been cultivating this true strength for over twenty years!”
So declared a young man who had just celebrated his eighteenth birthday.
Bang!
In the midst of talking, Fang Xi had already reached a wooden post and threw a punch at it.
Crash!
The wooden post instantly splintered, turning into a shower of flying wood shavings.
“Wow! Ptui ptui ptui…”
Sun Hongdie was about to say something when she found her mouth full of wood dust, and quite unladylike, she spat.
On the contrary, both Qing Sang and Dai’s eyes lit up.
“Alright, I’ve practiced the four major stances of the Mixed Origin Fist once. Now you show me,” Fang Xi instructed as he sat back down in the armchair.
“Please instruct me, master!”
Qing Sang immediately stood up, cupping his fists before vigorously getting into position.
“This guy…”
Sun Hongdie was astonished; though she could see many flaws and mistakes in Qing Sang’s moves, he somehow managed to stumble through the complete set.
Originally… hadn’t she needed her master to break down and teach each movement, taking days to learn the full set? Was it ten days? Or half a month?
After Qing Sang stepped down, and a few words to Dai, the seemingly foolish Dai came to the middle of the ground and took a stance.
This time, Sun Hongdie didn’t feel like speaking.
Although Dai appeared foolish, he performed the fist technique meticulously, even flawlessly, to the point where she couldn’t find any faults!
“Genius… a true martial arts genius!”
Sun Hongdie murmured to herself.
Immediately afterward, she cast a resentful look toward Fang Xi.
Clearly, the glib talk that Fang Xi had previously used on her had finally been punctured…
“Well done, Dai. You performed the four major stances quite well; Qing Sang, from now on, you will learn the fist technique from Dai and you will practice hitting wooden posts to build strength with your Sister Sun Hongdie!” Fang Xi said without much surprise.
To him, no matter how talented Dai was, it was just about on par with Linghu Yang. Perhaps Linghu Shan would be extremely pleased, but as far as Fang Xi was concerned, it was nothing special…
Even if Dai had a Spiritual Root, even if it were an Earth Grade or Heaven Grade Spiritual Root, so what?
He wasn’t going to teach him cultivation or take him to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.
So… it was all the same, they were just little mice for practicing skills.
“Master…”
At that moment, Sun Hongdie’s eyes were red, and her voice carried a hint of sobbing, “Tell me the truth… is my talent really bad?”
She had been practicing for so long, even a normal person should have been able to grasp the control of qi and blood by now.
“Err…”
Fang Xi thought for a while before responding, “Your mother is calling you back home for dinner…”
It was just before that she was called home to eat, and now she had been delayed for quite a while.
“Master, don’t dodge the question!” Sun Hongdie said indignantly.
“Ah, foolish disciple…” Fang Xi sighed, his eyes filled with pity as he finally spoke the truth, “How about… you just go home and get married?”
