These High Scholars all had bitter looks on their faces. Initially, they had wanted to rip Fang Yun off, but in the end, they had shot themselves in the foot. There was only one teacher in a lifetime, and although they could renege on their promise after leaving the Holy Grounds, a true scholar would never do so.
"Teacher, to celebrate you taking in nineteen High Scholars as your disciples, will you treat us to a flood dragon's whip when we leave the Holy Ground?" Li Fanming asked.
"Yes, treat us to a flood dragon's whip!" Everyone wanted to redeem themselves.
Fang Yun coughed softly and said, "We'll discuss this after we leave the Holy Ground. Disciples, go back to sleep first. We'll discuss how to continue the journey tomorrow. "
Everyone rolled their eyes. They did not get any benefits.
"Sigh, do you think Teacher Fang is deliberately playing the zither late at night to trick us into becoming his disciples?" Han Shoulv could not help but joke.
"Although Teacher Fang is not usually like this, it's possible that he's being bold today and bullying us!"
"Teacher Fang, are you really unwilling to give us a flood dragon's feast?"
Fang Yun thought about it seriously and said, "It's not that I'm stingy with a flood dragon's feast. The key is that if I invite you, I'll have to invite other disciples."
"Did you really deceive many disciples?" Shi Tang asked.
"Although I did not take them as my disciples, there are about fifty to sixty personal disciples like you who have acknowledged me as your teacher. As for the ordinary disciples, there are about a hundred of them." Fang Yun felt extremely helpless. Back then, he had enlightened many soldiers in the army and became their teacher. Those people were naturally considered his personal disciples. As for the Class A students in the Great Origin Residence, they were considered his ordinary disciples.
Everyone was speechless. How old was Fang Yun? He was still a High Scholar, but he already had so many personal disciples. What would happen when his status was higher in the future?
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I was just joking. Since there is no order in the Holy Ground, you don't have to care about this relationship after we leave the Holy Ground. It won't affect you from acknowledging other teachers."
"That's true. It can be said that it was just a joke before we acknowledge you as our teacher, but it's not a joke after we really acknowledge you as our teacher," someone said.
Everyone nodded.
"Since there's no flood dragon's whip to eat, I'll go back to sleep. Then I'm going to sleep. Goodbye, Teacher. "Li Fanming said weakly.
"This teacher is too stingy!" Jia Jingan also smiled and left.
Everyone walked back together, but they were discussing in low voices how they were going to rip off their new benefactor. They absolutely couldn't let things end like this.
Xun Ye looked at Fang Yun enviously before turning around to leave. Regardless of whether or not these High Scholars truly treated Fang Yun as their teacher, their friendship with Fang Yun had already been forged. As long as there were no major conflicts, they would be of help to Fang Yun in the future, even if most of them could only be considered as indirect help.
............ Teacher.....................
Fang Yun knew that this was definitely not the blood of a Virtuous Paragon. ............................................
"There are many miraculous things in this world, so it doesn't necessarily have to be the blood of a Virtuous Paragon. ......................................... . that's right. You guys passed the provincial examination earlier than me, and you're older than me. Don't call me Teacher Fang in the future. It sounds awkward, "Fang Yundao said.
Shi Tang said, "We don't want to call you Teacher Fang, but since we've acknowledged you as our teacher, even if it's just a temporary acknowledgement and we haven't formally acknowledged you as our teacher, we can't just address you casually. If you don't like it, just take it that we're learning your war poems. "
Fang Yundao smiled, "Then that's the only way."
Shi Tang said, "I heard you play just now. You've already entered the first realm of the zither dao. Are your war songs' High Mountain ',' Flowing Water ',' Tempest Guide ', or' Guangling San '?"
"This … I'm creating my own war song." Fang Yundao knew that he couldn't hide this matter. He would have to use it sooner or later, and the 'General's Order' was basically completed. The next step was to strive for perfection.
Shi Tang stared blankly at Fang Yundao. After a while, he sighed and said, "Why do I feel that we've taken advantage of you this time? Teacher, if you're successful in the zither dao, you must guide me. "Shi Tang said with a smile.
Fang Yundao said unhappily, "I'm now at the first realm of the zither dao, and you're at the second realm. How can I guide you?"
"No, playing your own war songs is different from learning others' war songs. It won't be long before your attainments in the zither dao surpass mine. Sigh, I'm sad. I'm going to sleep. "Shi Tang glanced at the Gut Trembling Zither and turned to leave.
Fang Yundao put away the Gut Trembling Zither and entered the tent to sleep.
While sleeping, Fang Yundao began to count the treasures he obtained from the Dragon Cliff and exchanged from Ling Gu. He roughly categorized all the items and placed them in different places in the Yinjiang Shell.
Fang Yundao was still used to using the method from his previous life to measure the Yinjiang Shell. It was about the size of two basketball courts and could store a lot of things. He roughly counted it now and would carefully categorize it after leaving the Holy Ground.
The items exchanged from Ling Gu included nine Qi Yinjiang Shells, which were left behind by the dead High Scholars of the human race. Fang Yundao opened them one by one.
Two of the Yinjiang Shells had been around for more than two hundred years. Many of the items inside had decayed and lost their effectiveness. The space in the Yinjiang Shell had also shrunk slightly, but it contained the Holy Ground Secret Records, which had a certain value. The other seven Yinjiang Shells had not been around for long. Other than a few High Scholars' Human Treasures that had lost their effectiveness and some dried food, the rest could be used.
The Yinjiang Shells had the most High Scholars' Human Treasures! A total of twenty-one of them!
Unfortunately, Human Treasures consumed Qi and were not as good as Armchair Strategists, which could be enhanced by various treasure lights, brushes, ink, and paper. Other than Human Treasures, the Human Treasures could be used for emergencies. Usually, Armchair Strategists were the first choice, followed by Eloquence, and Human Treasures were the last choice.
Therefore, Fang Yundao picked two sets of Human Treasures that were suitable for him and put the rest aside for other uses.
There were many good items, but the most important was a map of the Holy Ground.
Many of the places on this map were the same as the ones Fang Yundao had seen in the Holy Ground. There were a few places with different names, but the locations and descriptions were the same. However, there was one place that Fang Yundao had never seen before, and there was no description of it.
The Ancestral Demon's Sect.
Seeing these four words, Fang Yundao's heart skipped a beat.
Fang Yundao knew of the Demonic Sage, but he had never heard of the Ancestral Demon. Those who dared to call themselves the Ancestral Demon were at least above the Demonic Sage. They were most likely Demonic Sages who were equivalent to human Demonic Sages, or perhaps on par with the Sage Confucius.
"The other High Scholars have never mentioned the Ancestral Demon's Sect. This could be one of the core secrets of the Holy Ground, but it could also be nothing. It's just a guess. I'll make a conclusion when I see it there."
Fang Yundao memorized these four words and the location, then completely destroyed the map.
When he woke up, Fang Yundao continued to pretend that his body had not fully recovered and was still in the wheelchair.
The sun in the Holy Ground was scorching. It was only early in the morning, but it was almost as hot as noon. The ground was hot enough to fry an egg. These High Scholars had strong bodies, but standing outside for a minute would cause them to sweat profusely.
After breakfast, everyone came to a large tent to discuss matters. Xun Ye came in early and stood in the corner silently. When Fang Yundao came in, he nodded slightly to express his greetings. He was no longer as hostile towards Fang Yundao as before.
When everyone arrived, they all looked at Fang Yundao, subconsciously waiting for him to preside over the discussion.
Fang Yundao did not have stage fright. He smiled and said, "I'm just giving a suggestion, not an order. I'm just saying what I think. With more than twenty of us working together, even if we meet the Holy Son of the Savage Wolf and the others again, we can fight them head-on. No one wants to explore those small places like before, right? "
No one objected.
Fang Yundao said, "I think that we should explore the center of the Holy Ground. If you disagree, you can say what you think."
Everyone thought for a moment and looked at each other. No one objected. No one realized that Fang Yundao had used a little trick. People tended to not directly express their opinions, so Fang Yundao did not say "if you agree, please come out."
Xun Ye seemed to have changed his attitude towards Fang Yundao. He did not say a word.
No one objected. Fang Yundao's image in everyone's mind rose again. They all believed that Fang Yundao was recognized by everyone. Even if they did not think of him as a leader, they still thought of him as one of the best candidates for the position.
Fang Yundao said, "Since no one is against it, we'll go deeper. By the way, what do you think of the Fog Butterfly? "
Everyone's eyes lit up. The Fog Butterfly was the most valuable treasure in the Holy Ground. Whether it was the Old Brush, the Ink Turtle, the Strange Wood, the Strange Grass, or the Spirit Bone, it was the most suitable treasure for the human race. Just the Fog Butterfly's ability to turn the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into water and wind was a miracle.
"You got important information about the Fog Butterfly from the Spirit Bone?"
"Yes." Fang Yundao said. He told them all the information he had about the Fog Butterfly. In fact, many of the big families knew about it, so it could not be considered a secret. There were some key points that Fang Yundao did not reveal. It was not because he wanted to hide it, but because Xun Ye was there.
Everyone listened carefully. The temperature in the tent rose. Everyone was excited. If they could really subdue the Fog Butterfly, it would be of great help to them. Even if they did not have to sell it after leaving the Holy Ground, even the Half-saint would pay a high price for it. Its value was far above the Thunder Stone.
"If one of us gets the Fog Butterfly, the reward will not be less than Fang Yun's … uh, no less than Fang Shi's." Han Shoulv said.
"If I could exchange, I would rather exchange everything I got from the Dragon Cliff for the Fog Butterfly." Fang Yundao said.
"Of course the Fog Butterfly is more important." Someone laughed.
Li Fanming said, "The Fog Butterfly's value is not small. If we give it to the Half-saint, we can exchange it for a great scholar! Unfortunately, everyone put in the effort, but only one person will get it. Therefore, according to the rules, we have a gentleman's agreement. No matter who gets the Fog Butterfly, they will have to compensate the others. Even if they don't have the ability to give others treasures now, they will have to help the other person or their family in the future. How about it? "
"Of course. If the person who gets the Fog Butterfly forgets the gentleman's agreement, we will not say anything. However, the friendship of the Holy Ground will be gone." Han Shoulv said.
Seeing that Li Fanming and Han Shoulv were so magnanimous, everyone agreed. Everyone agreed to participate in this gentleman's agreement.
In the end, Fang Yundao said, "Since everyone agreed to go to the center of the Holy Ground to find the Fog Butterfly, then we will use the center as our final goal. We will go to the places where the Fog Butterfly is most likely to go to search, killing two birds with one stone."
"Agreed!" Everyone nodded.
