Chapter 1067: Chapter 355: Preliminary Refinement

Martial Realm.

the Kong Family.

“Mr. Kong Di, how is your injury recovering?”

Fan Hongwei smiled as he looked at the newcomer and spoke slowly.

Kong Di, a genius of the Kong Family, possessed an astonishing bloodline talent and was a Martial Artist at the Shackled Realm Limit.

Last time, because Lin Zheyu was absent, Fan Hongwei and the others sought out Kong Di to explore the Witch Race ruins together.

“Even though I’m a Martial Artist with vigorous Life Force, this time my bloodline foundation was wounded. How could it recover so fast?”

Kong Di shot Fan Hongwei a sidelong glare and retorted, “Don’t tell me Mr. Fan has already recovered?”

“Of course not.”

“But after a year or so of recuperation, I’ll be almost fine.”

Fan Hongwei sipped his tea and spoke with a smile.

“Instead of properly shutting yourself in to heal, you’ve come here this time—what’s so important?” Kong Di asked coolly.

“Heh heh, there really is something, and it’s a good thing.”

Fan Hongwei drawled, not answering directly, but instead asked, “Have you heard of Xiao Yu from the Martial Alliance?”

“Xiao Yu?”

“The Martial Artist who joined the Martial Alliance not long ago and has recently been making quite a name for himself?”

“I heard the death of the Wu Family genius Wu Yiyi, who was being groomed as the next Patriarch, has quite a lot to do with him.”

“That fellow does have some tricks.”

“What, this matter is related to him?”

Kong Di asked curiously.

The three Ancient Martial Families looked down on most Martial Artists in the Martial Alliance; only a few of them were worth a second glance.

Those few were the Martial Alliance Alliance Leader Qin Hu, Xia Ping, and Wa Zhengtian, whom Lin Zheyu had never met—only these three.

Back then.

After Lin Zheyu joined the Martial Alliance, his fame rose sharply, and busybodies spread the claim that he was the number one below the Shackled Realm.

The three Ancient Martial Families had been extremely disdainful.

But as news spread that the death of Wu Yiyi and even his younger brother—two Wu Family bloodline prodigies—were all rumored to be related to Xiao Yu…

The three families greatly increased the attention they paid to Xiao Yu of the Martial Alliance.

A very detailed investigation report on Xiao Yu’s appearance, aura, background, deeds, habits, personality, and so on was placed among the important archives of the three families.

“It’s somewhat related.”

“He has opened three Divine Treasures, awakened Spirit Divine Techniques, and possesses an astonishing Martial Arts Divine Sense.”

“In addition, once, I cast a hexagram for him and Observed Qi. This person’s fortune is deep; he is a man of great destiny.”

“Back then, I originally planned to bring him along to explore that ruin, but unfortunately that brat played some tricks and it didn’t work out.”

“With no alternative, I sought you instead, my friend.”

Fan Hongwei spoke slowly, quite unconcerned as he told this to Kong Di.

“I knew it.”

“With your temperament, when you run into that kind of good fortune, I wouldn’t be the one you think of.” Kong Di gave Fan Hongwei a sideways look and said irritably.

They had been friends for many years and understood each other’s temperament and character very well.

This guy, whenever he finds treasure, if he can monopolize it, he will try his best to do so, and would never look for someone of equal strength to cooperate in exploring it.

“Heh heh…”

Fan Hongwei chuckled awkwardly…

“Enough, don’t interrupt, let me finish.”

“This time, I plan to take Xiao Yu along to that ruin.”

“But this person’s fortune is profound, his Qi Luck seems astonishing, his fate is beyond my sight—he may be someone born in response to this great calamity.”

“After he advanced to the Shackled Realm, my arts of divination and Observing Qi could no longer see through him.”

“To be safe, does your Kong Family have any powerful, reliable Cultivators you trust?”

“Call a few more, and have them lie in ambush in that ruin ahead of time.”

Fan Hongwei stated his true purpose in coming this time.

He had come to ask for help.

As a Cultivator skilled in divination and Observing Qi, he knew very well how unreasonable those Cultivators with great Qi Luck and deep fortune could be.

When the other party was still in the Divine Treasure Realm and had not advanced to the Shackled Realm comparable to Golden Core, Fan Hongwei had confidence he could suppress him.

But now that the other had advanced to the Shackled Realm, Fan Hongwei no longer had full confidence.

“Is that so…”

“I happen to have a good suggestion.”

“Although the matter of Wu Yiyi was suppressed by the Martial Alliance Alliance Leader, right now the Wu Family definitely wants to catch that brat very much.”

“If you seek their cooperation, they’ll probably only want Xiao Yu himself, and won’t ask to share the treasures obtained in the ruin with us.”

Kong Di pondered for a moment and proposed.

“The Wu Family…”

“That is indeed a good idea.”

Fan Hongwei’s eyes lit up slightly, and a faint smile appeared.

…

Martial Realm.

Flame Martial City.

Inside a private room atop the Profound Light Tower.

Lin Zheyu sat facing a woman dressed in tight fire-red clothes, whose brows carried a touch of coldness and whose bearing held a valiant air.

Lin Zheyu smiled as he looked at the woman; her looks were very good, quite pleasing to the eye.

“Mr. Zong, this time you’re going with me to guard the Demon Cavern?” Lin Zheyu asked with a smile.

This person was precisely Zong Linjing, Mr. Zong.

He had originally thought he would be going alone, but after a little over a month, the Alliance Leader sent someone to tell him there would be other Martial Artists going along.

“Mm.”

Zong Linjing gave a light hum of acknowledgment.

She had only just finished her previous mission not long ago, and had immediately taken on the Demon Cavern guard mission without pause.

“You really push yourself, Mr. Zong. Don’t end up covered in injuries and leave hidden problems—that’d be bad.”

Lin Zheyu offered a reminder.

“Don’t worry. Though Martial Artists’ bodies can’t compare to demons and monsters, our Life Force and Recovery Power are something Cultivators can hardly match.”

“So long as the Divine Soul and fundamental life-root are not damaged, even heavy injuries can be healed.”

Zong Linjing said calmly.
