The corner of Xuan Zhao's mouth raised into a faint smile, showing slight disdain, but it was only for a moment. He continued, "Although the reward you received in one go is enough for junior brother Fang Xing to advance to the second layer of spirit formation, it's still hard to continue. Junior brother Fang Xing, have you thought about it? After the resources you have on hand are used up, how are you going to continue to obtain more resources? Don't tell me you still have to rely on the one or two every month from the Dao Sect? Hehe, on the path of cultivation, you need an endless supply of resources. One or two every month, it's still not enough! "
"Damn it, you're a first grade disciple, you get two every month, but I only get one every three months … …"
Fang Xing cursed in his heart, purposely sighed and said, "That can't be helped, junior brother is really poor … …"
Xuan Zhao smiled and suddenly stopped. With a smile that wasn't a smile, he looked at Fang Xing and said, "Forgive me for being blunt, junior brother Fang, the amount of spirit stones you have on hand is still not enough. I'm afraid that it's already good enough for you to advance to the peak of the second layer of spirit formation. However, the Stone Essence Powder you have, it's useless for you to keep it. Why don't you sell it to me in exchange for some resources?"
"So it's because of this matter … …"
Fang Xing cursed in his heart. However, Xuan Zhao's words were very polite, so he didn't immediately refuse. Instead, he secretly pondered in his heart and asked with a surprised expression, "Senior brother Xuan Zhao, do you need the Stone Essence Powder?"
Xuan Zhao smiled faintly and said, "I will use at most another year to break through to the peak of the third layer. At that time, I will naturally need the Stone Essence Powder to refine the Rank Breaking Dan. However, this Stone Essence Powder may be rare to others, but to me, it's not a difficult matter. The main thing is that I fell in love with Junior Brother Fang at first sight and am short on resources, so I thought of this method to satisfy both sides … …"
"Hmph, this bastard thinks I'm a fool. He's taking advantage of me and still wants to act innocent …"
Fang Xing laughed coldly in his heart, but he saw that there was no one else on the mountain path, and under Xuan Zhao's smiling expression, there was a hint of coldness. Now that Xuan Zhao had proposed to buy the Stone Essence Powder in his hands, if he did not agree, it was possible that he would rob him. Although in reality, his cultivation was already higher than his, and he was not afraid of him, but if things were to get out of hand, with the support of an elder, Fang Xing was afraid that he would not be able to win …
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Fang Xing's mind. Looking at the mountain path, he quickly came up with a plan.
Faced with Xuan Zhao's threat, Fang Xing purposely put on a greedy expression and said expectantly, "Thank you, Senior Xuan Zhao, for taking care of me. How much are you offering …?" When Xuan Zhao heard Fang Xing ask about the price, his heart relaxed a bit. If he could buy the Stone Essence Powder, then he naturally wouldn't want to rob it. He smiled and said, "Of course I can't treat Junior Brother Fang unfairly. How about twenty … thirty Spirit Stones?"
Fang Xing suddenly became angry and secretly cursed in his heart, "Thirty Spirit Stones, to think that this grandson would dare to say it. Although the Stone Essence Powder has no effect on your cultivation, it is the most difficult material to find to refine a Rank Breaking Pill. Hou Qing, that bastard, wanted to use a Demon Spirit Pill worth one hundred Spirit Stones and thirty-five Spirit Stones to exchange for it, but this bastard is only willing to give me thirty. Does he think I'm a fool?"
When Xuan Zhao saw Fang Xing's awkward expression, he sneered in his heart, but his mouth deliberately said, "Junior Brother Fang, do you think it's too little? Hehe, in our Dao Sect, the weak are prey to the strong. I'm afraid that even if I give you more Spirit Stones, you won't be able to keep them! Of course, we'll treat each other as friends the moment we meet. If we're able to complete this deal, I'll definitely remember this friendship and take care of you in the future. It's not that I'm boasting, but once you become my, Meng Xuanzhao's, friend, Junior Brother Fang, you'll be able to do as you please in the Outer Court … "
This was a subtle threat. If Fang Xing sold the Stone Essence Powder to him, then he would receive his care. If he didn't, then he would only receive his revenge. If he could let Fang Xing do whatever he wanted in the Dao Sect, then he would naturally make it difficult for him to do anything!
When Fang Xing heard this, his heart moved. He deliberately pretended to be surprised and said, "Can Senior Brother Xuan Zhao really let me not be bullied? After I entered the Dao Sect, I was alone and had no relatives. Many people bullied me. The last time I went to collect my Spirit Stones, I was robbed by a person called Liu Feng. There was also our Clear Stream Valley's disciple Hei San. He also came to extort me for no reason … "
His expression vividly displayed the look of a child who had been bullied.
When Xuan Zhao saw this, he calmed down and said unconcernedly, "Hmph, I've never even heard of these people's names. They must be just some small fries. From now on, Junior Brother Fang doesn't need to be bullied by them. As long as you mention my name, they won't dare to rebel … Forget it, Junior Brother Fang, come with me now. You'll see how I help you vent your anger in front of you!"
He was going to take Fang Xing with him to take revenge. Young Master Xuan Zhao naturally didn't care about these insignificant people in the outer sanctum. He just needed to teach them a lesson and exchange thirty spiritual stones for a portion of Stone Essence Powder. Why wouldn't he do it?
"Ah, there's no need. Senior Brother Xuan Zhao only needs to promise to look after me. This Stone Essence Powder, I'll give it to Senior Brother as a gift …"
Fang Xing revealed an excited expression. He held the Stone Essence Powder with both hands and placed it in front of Xuan Zhao.
This implied that he didn't even want a single Spirit Stone.
Xuan Zhao was overjoyed. He hurriedly took the Stone Essence Powder and said, "How can I accept this? The Spirit Stones still have to be paid!"
Fang Xing deliberately said angrily, "Senior Brother Xuan Zhao, I've been bullied to the point that I'm afraid. I only hope that Senior Brother Xuan Zhao can help put in a few words for me in the outer sect's important departments so that I won't be bullied anymore. As for the Spirit Stones, I don't dare to accept them …"
"Hahahaha, that's not a problem at all!"
Xuan Zhao was overjoyed. He immediately took Fang Xing's hand and said, "Junior Brother Fang, from now on, I'll definitely treat you as one of my own. If others bully you, it's the same as bullying me. Hmph, in the outer sect, I, Xuan Zhao, don't dare to say that my words are absolute, but there aren't many who are worthy of my attention. No matter who in the outer sect dares to bully you, I'll make them suffer a fate worse than death!"
As he said this, he seemed to want to reassure Fang Xing. He directly found a few disciples who seemed to be more quick-witted and ordered them to go to the Catering Department, the Miscellaneous Department, the Medicine Department, and the Magic Weapons Pavilion to pass on the message. From today onwards, he, Xuan Zhao, and Fang Xing were best friends. Whoever bullied Fang Xing in the future would be Xuan Zhao's enemy.
In addition, those who had previously bullied Fang Xing had better personally come to him to apologize. Otherwise, if he personally went to them, things would get troublesome!
After doing all this, Xuan Zhao said to Fang Xing proudly, "Junior Brother, from today onwards, I believe that no one will dare to bully you anymore. You can bully whoever you want, but are you sure that you don't need me to take you to those people to vent your anger?"
Fang Xing hurriedly said, "There's no need, Senior Brother, you can go do your own things …"
Xuan Zhao was also anxious to go back and check on the Stone Essence Powder, so he said, "Then I won't be polite. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me!"
"Senior Brother, take care …"
Fang Xing respectfully saw Xuan Zhao off, the corners of his mouth curling up into a smile.
"Bastard, you want to take advantage of me? It's still too early …"
Seeing Xuan Zhao's silhouette disappear into the distance on the mountain path, he slowly slipped away. After avoiding everyone's eyes, he quietly slipped into the forest beside the path. Then, he quickly put on the Thousand Luo Ghost Mask and changed his appearance. He quickly dashed through the forest, chasing after Xuan Zhao. Not long after, he caught up. He tiptoed and quietly followed behind him, waiting for the right moment to make his move.
At this time, it was almost dusk. There were very few disciples on the mountain path. Often, there was not a single person in sight.
Not long after, he passed by a bamboo forest. There was not a single person in the surroundings, it was extremely secluded.
Fang Xing thought to himself, "This is it …"
He crazily mobilized his spiritual energy, and with a "sou" sound, he rushed towards Xuan Zhao like a bolt of lightning.
Xuan Zhao was walking while looking at the purple porcelain bottle in his hand. The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became. He didn't spend a single spiritual stone, but he obtained this Stone Essence Powder out of thin air. To every outer sect disciple, it was as precious as their own life. This was simply a great thing.
But at this time, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind his head. His heart immediately jumped, and he hurriedly dodged.
"Sou …"
A huge fist brushed past his cheek. It was a close shave. Turning his head to look, he saw that it was a tall, thin man with a black cloth over his face. This person did not say a word. After his fist missed, he actually immediately lifted his knee to meet it. His attack was incomparably ruthless.
"Who are you?"
Xuan Zhao angrily shouted. He raised both his fists to block this knee. His palm was like a snake or a dragon, grabbing towards the other's neck.
Fang Xing shouted in a deep voice, "Hey, you swindled this precious Stone Essence Powder without spending a single spiritual stone. Isn't it too much to take it all for yourself?"
As he spoke, he tilted his head to avoid Xuan Zhao's grip. Both his fists hit the other's temples on both sides.
"You know about this Stone Essence Powder? Could it be that you've been eavesdropping? "
Xuan Zhao was greatly shocked. He coldly shouted, "Daoist Gate dares to rob me? Are you tired of living?"
As he shouted, his figure shrank. His spiritual energy crazily gathered, and he heavily struck towards Fang Xing's chest.
"The one tired of living is you!"
Fang Xing also shouted in a low voice. His body slightly crouched, and both his fists struck out at the same time.
"Peng …"
Both of them gathered their strongest spiritual energy at the same time. When their fists collided in the air, their momentum was like a dragon or a tiger.
Xuan Zhao's expression instantly went grim, and his figure instantly flew backwards, knocking down a stretch of violet bamboo.
"Spirit formation third layer?"
Xuan Zhao was greatly shocked. With such a head-on collision, he immediately discovered that his cultivation was far from the opponent's.
