"Yuan Fang! Come help me quickly! Four Rank Six Gu Immortals have invaded; I've already dealt with one. There's still an Air Path Gu Immortal, a Servitude Path Gu Immortal, and a Fire Path Gu Immortal left. If you help me, there will be a reward afterwards!"
"If you can hold out for half an hour, I will reward you handsomely! The Inkman Gu Immortal Mo Tan Sang is also here!"
Lang Ya Earth Spirit's voice rang out urgently in Yuan Fang's mind. While activating the Rank Eight immortal gu house, Refinement Furnace, it desperately used Information Path Gu worms to call Yuan Fang for help.
Mo Tan Sang also saw Yuan Fang and quickly shouted aloud:
"Is Your Excellency the Junior Martial Uncle of Immortal Friend Fang Yuan, Senior Yuan Fang?"
Yuan Fang said nothing. With a tap of his foot, his figure shot out like an arrow, directly smashing a Strength Path Killer Move toward the desolate beast that was currently entangled with Mo Tan Sang.
Immediately after, he clasped his hands together, activating the Killer Move Giant Sword Technique. A solid, massive sword crashed down with the force of Mount Tai pressing down.
Within moments, that desolate beast was beaten to the brink of death, and Yuan Fang casually stored it into his immortal aperture.
Mo Tan Sang was about to offer his thanks, but Yuan Fang ignored him completely, directly activating a reconnaissance Killer Move. His gaze instantly locked onto a Servitude Path Gu Immortal several kilometers away.
"Immortal Path Killer Move — Only I Am Supreme!"
Yuan Fang gave a low shout. In the next instant, a phantom image of a black steel nail shot out like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing into the head of that Servitude Path Gu Immortal.
"third watch gu, third watch gu, third watch gu."
Yuan Fang activated three third watch gu, and the flow of time immediately accelerated twenty-seven times. After only ten minutes had passed, that Servitude Path Gu Immortal didn't even have time to struggle before being enslaved by Yuan Fang, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing incessantly:
"This humble one, Lin Hong, greets the Master!"
(Lin Hong, a person with some connection to the author)
Mo Tan Sang witnessed all of this, and waves of shock surged in his heart—Yuan Fang's actions were truly swift and decisive, resolving a Gu Immortal-level combatant in a mere ten minutes. Such methods left him incredibly shaken.
"My god! Where did this Prodigy come from! That's a Gu Immortal! A Gu Immortal! What kind of method is this? This isn't a Servitude Path Killer Move either!"
Mo Tan Sang was about to speak, but he was coldly interrupted by Yuan Fang, who didn't even spare him a glance:
"It's better to say fewer words of flattery! You go destroy that Fire Path Gu Immortal; leave this Qi Path one to me."
In the next moment, a Rank Five Three-Foot Sword Gu flew out of Yuan Fang's immortal aperture, carrying him straight into the sky. Seeing Yuan Fang depart, Mo Tan Sang wiped away cold sweat and thought to himself:
"Oh my... how can this person be so Heaven-Defying!" Then, looking at the clouds and mist, he also took flight.
At this moment, Lin Hong had summoned a desolate beast Azure Wolf and was following Yuan Fang, heading straight for that Qi Path Gu Immortal. The reason Lin Hong had fallen into the trap so easily before was that she lacked superior reconnaissance methods and hadn't noticed Yuan Fang several kilometers away at all.
The 'Only I Am Supreme' Killer Move had a domineering name, yet its behavior was practically that of a 'camper'. However, this Killer Move was useless in a head-on confrontation and was only suitable for sneak attacks.
"Is Your Excellency also a reinforcement for the Lang Ya Earth Spirit?" the Qi Path Gu Immortal asked, but what came back was not an answer, but Yuan Fang's Immortal Path Killer Move — Only I Am Supreme.
"A Wisdom Path method? Immortal Path Killer Move — Qi Swallows Mountains and Rivers."
In the next moment, the phantom steel nail dissipated, and the Qi Path Gu Immortal was completely unharmed. He then raised his hand and unleashed a Mortal Path Killer Move:
"Mortal Path Killer Move — Cloud-Piercing Arrow."
Countless arrows flew out from behind the Qi Path Gu Immortal, passing through the white clouds above the Gu Immortal's head and shooting toward Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang remained unhurried, activating the Human Path Killer Move 'Stay the Blade' to block the arrows one after another.
"Mortal Path Killer Move — Giant Sword Technique."
A massive Flying Sword condensed above Yuan Fang's head and shot fiercely toward the Qi Path Gu Immortal. The Qi Path Gu Immortal was not flustered, activating a movement Killer Move; with a flash, he appeared in front of Yuan Fang, followed by a Killer Move slashing straight down.
"Mortal Path Killer Move — Stay the Blade."
Yuan Fang blocked the attack again, but he was already becoming somewhat unable to hold his ground. Although his Only I Am Supreme Killer Move was strong, it was still easily blocked by Gu Immortal methods.
Just then, Lin Hong made her entrance. Riding the desolate beast Azure Wolf, she shouted loudly to the Qi Path Gu Immortal, "I've come to help you!"
In the next moment, Lin Hong released over a hundred Beast Emperor-level Wolf Kings and immediately activated a Servitude Path Killer Move:
"Mortal Path Killer Move — Wolves Traveling a Thousand Miles."
Those hundreds of Beast Emperor-level Wolf Kings formed a military formation and charged out. The Qi Path Gu Immortal immediately stabilized his figure and flew into the sky to dodge the Wolves Traveling a Thousand Miles Killer Move.
But at that moment, a sharp pain came from his chest and back.
The Qi Path Gu Immortal looked down to see a silver spear. He knew this was the tail of the desolate beast Silver Spear Wolf, and the master of this Silver Spear Wolf King was none other than Lin Hong.
The Qi Path Gu Immortal sprayed a large amount of blood, dying with his eyes wide open. Lin Hong flew down and knelt, kowtowing as she said:
"Master! This subordinate arrived late and caused Master to be startled."
Yuan Fang didn't say much. Lin Hong had four desolate beast wolves: the Azure Wolf, the Silver Spear Wolf, the Tortoise Back Wolf, and the Blade Wing Wolf which was currently in Yuan Fang's blessed land.
Yuan Fang did not recognize the Blade Wing Wolf, so he hadn't recognized her at first. As for this Lin Hong, although she was a young female Gu Immortal, she had a shifty-eyed, monkey-like appearance and was very ugly.
"Lin Hong, do you have any immortal gu?" Yuan Fang asked. But Lin Hong shook her head; among the four invading Gu Immortals, only that Qi Path Gu Immortal had an immortal gu.
Unfortunately, before that Qi Path Gu Immortal died, he had destroyed the immortal gu. Moreover, his immortal aperture blessed land was extremely poor, with almost no resources, and the same was true for the other three.
It turned out that before the four of them set out, they had all taken their resources out.
Yuan Fang walked into that blessed land. The Earth Spirit was in the image of a small dog, specifically a Shiba Inu. The Shiba Inu Earth Spirit did not welcome Yuan Fang but didn't attack either, so Yuan Fang asked:
"Earth Spirit! What are the conditions for you to acknowledge a master?"
Upon hearing this, the Shiba Inu Earth Spirit stared at Yuan Fang fiercely:
"I want Lin Hong's head! She backstabbed my original body!"
"That's easy to handle." As a Blood Path Grandmaster, Yuan Fang casually took out blood path gu materials and Gu worms, and in a few moments, he refined a lifelike head of Lin Hong and handed it to the Earth Spirit.
As soon as the Shiba Inu Earth Spirit saw the head, it immediately pounced on it, biting and tearing it to shreds. Only then did it relent and acknowledge Yuan Fang as its master. Yuan Fang laughed heartily and released the real Lin Hong from his immortal aperture.
Seeing Lin Hong standing alive before its eyes, the Earth Spirit was dumbfounded. Unfortunately, the deed was done, and it could only accept its fate.
Although the Shiba Inu Blessed Land's resources were depleted, it still retained many Qi Path and Cloud Path mortal Gu and a few scattered resource points.
Yuan Fang roughly estimated that this place could produce about half an immortal essence stone per month. The blessed land had a vast space of eight million mu, but the original owner had likely suppressed the time flow to three times that of the outside world due to fear of tribulations, causing the Qi Path and Cloud Path dao marks to become quite thin.
Yuan Fang thought to himself that this blessed land would be of great use to Mo Tan Sang, a Qi Path Gu Immortal, and he could just sell it to him.
By the time he left the Shiba Inu Blessed Land, the invaders of Lang Ya Blessed Land had been completely wiped out. Lang Ya Earth Spirit repeatedly thanked Yuan Fang and the Inkman Gu Immortals, and the two surviving Gu Immortals had also become prisoners.
Yuan Fang immediately proposed to Mo Tan Sang that he wanted to transfer the Shiba Inu Blessed Land.
As expected, Mo Tan Sang was tempted and quickly asked: "Senior Yuan Fang, how are you selling this Shiba Inu Blessed Land? I am willing to pay a large amount of immortal essence stones."
Yuan Fang shook his head: "I am not currently short of immortal essence stones, but I am very interested in those captives of yours."
Mo Tan Sang immediately refused: "According to the agreement, these captives all belong to Lang Ya Blessed Land; I have no right to dispose of them. However, I can sell you some Cloud and Qi Path immortal materials, a Cloud Path mortal material resource point, and several Mortal Path Killer Moves."
"And of course, the friendship of my Western Desert Inkman race."
Yuan Fang weighed the options and felt the deal was worthwhile, so he nodded in agreement. His blessed land currently needed resources to solidify its foundation.
Mo Tan Sang then handed over four rank six immortal materials, Golden Light Clouds, and eight rank six immortal materials, Somersault Clouds. That Cloud Path resource point could produce mortal materials like Green Clouds, Rosy Clouds, Sunset Clouds, and Azure Clouds, which could steadily bring in a profit of four immortal essence stones per month.
In terms of Killer Moves, Yuan Fang exchanged for the Nine Cloud Rings Killer Move, the Entering Cloud Dragon Killer Move, the Dark Clouds Covering the Sky Killer Move, the Lord in the Clouds Killer Move, and the Cloud-Piercing Travel Killer Move. Among them, Dark Clouds Covering the Sky and Lord in the Clouds were the most practical for managing a blessed land.
After the transaction was completed, a Star Gate was built between Yuan Fang's blessed land and Inkman City. Yuan Fang smiled and said to Mo Tan Sang:
"I have always been very fond of the local customs and practices of variant humans."
Mo Tan Sang understood the implication and gifted Yuan Fang a notebook recording Inkman culture. Once those unique characters and customs were introduced into Yuan Fang's blessed land, they could significantly enhance the cultural foundation of the blessed land, which would be of great benefit to his Human Path cultivation.
On the other side, Lang Ya Earth Spirit also returned the favor by gifting Yuan Fang an Immortal Path Killer Move — Familiar Face. Yuan Fang was secretly delighted.
In addition, Lang Ya Earth Spirit also sent a batch of Water Path immortal materials and mortal materials, as well as mortal Gu like Small Hill Gu, Small Marsh Gu, and warm current gu for modifying terrain, which happened to solve Yuan Fang's urgent needs.
Just as Lang Ya Earth Spirit was preparing to add more gifts, Yuan Fang changed the subject:
"Lang Ya Earth Spirit, I need to borrow your Rank Eight heavenly origin supreme treasure lotus for a use."
As soon as these words came out, Lang Ya Earth Spirit instinctively wanted to refuse. The heavenly origin supreme treasure lotus was the source of most of Lang Ya Blessed Land's immortal essence; how could it be easily lent out?
However, Yuan Fang then took out a Gu worm, and the terrifying aura of a Rank Eight Gu Immortal instantly filled the air. Lang Ya Earth Spirit's whole body shook violently, and it cried out in shock:
"This is the Attitude Immortal Gu! How is this possible!"
"I will temporarily deposit the Attitude Immortal Gu with you." Yuan Fang's tone was flat but carried an unquestionable pressure:
"I really must borrow the heavenly origin supreme treasure lotus."
