Chapter 8: Illuminate
I don't have much time left, and there are some matters I need to explain to you!" Bai Haichan nodded in satisfaction, "The box contains the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, and that scroll is the Yellow Springs Map..."
At this moment, a surge of fortune was devoured, and the piece that was originally just a firefly's glow suddenly shone brightly, completely illuminated, transforming into a fireball, yet still weaker than the eternal pieces. Clearly, the world that had just been lit up was far inferior compared to the eternal world.
"Very well, as long as I have the ability, I will not decline!" Fang Han replied decisively
At the moment the chess pieces were illuminated, Fang Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze shifting like two stars in the night, shining brilliantly
Clearly, this person's death is extraordinary, and at this moment, Fang Han is somewhat regretting his actions
Although Fang Qingshan was anxious in his heart, he had no choice but to suppress it at this moment
"Are you really not going to agree?" Bai Hai Chan asked softly, a sense of death enveloping Fang Han.
So you are still alive; in that case, this item shall be returned to its rightful owner
In an instant, the previously silent celestial chessboard suddenly radiated brilliance, resembling a hungry infant eagerly devouring the milky white fortune.
"Fang family, Fang Qingxue, just you wait, hehe!" Bai Haichan let out a strange, sinister laugh in his heart, though it did not show on his face. "Kid, having ambition alone is not enough. As a servant, it is almost impossible for you to stand out. However, you have encountered me, and perhaps it is your turn for a change in fortune."
In that case, let us change the conditions!" After giving Fang Han a deep look, Bai Haichan said, "In the future, when your cultivation is sufficient, how about reviving me and assisting me in achieving enlightenment?
At this thought, Fang Han could not help but feel a strong sense of apprehension towards Fang Qingshan
A thought inexplicably arose in his mind: could it be that he has truly calculated his own future?
Fang Han suddenly stiffened all over, slowly turned around, and saw that the corpse had sat up at some unknown time. He was immediately frightened and stumbled back, falling to the ground, stammering as he asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Fang Qingshan looked up at the sky and murmured to himself
Brush
Bold yet meticulous, knowing when to advance and retreat, understanding gains and losses, you are quite remarkable!" With an appreciative glance at Fang Han, Shi Ti let out a faint sigh, "If I, Bai Haizhan, had been like this from the beginning, how could I have encountered today's calamity!
At the moment Fang Han obtained the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and the Yellow Springs Diagram, a surge of overwhelming fortune descended from the heavens, directly entering the Niwan Palace of Fang Qingshan
On the chessboard, apart from a piece representing the eternal world that shone like a star, there was another piece glowing faintly like a firefly, while the other pieces lay in complete silence.
Following this, a strong voice was heard, "Third Young Master, the eldest young lady has returned. By the order of the master, please proceed to the hall." The speaker was Fang Mo, the steward of the Fang family.
Only humans die for wealth, and birds die for food. For the sake of his own cultivation, Fang Han gritted his teeth and quickly searched the body, hoping to find something valuable as soon as possible and then leave swiftly
After a while, Bai Hai Chan's expression finally softened again. With a smile that was not quite a smile, he looked at Fang Han and said: "It seems that you are also a restless and ambitious person. Good, very good, extremely good! Hahahaha!"
Although he felt quite unwilling in his heart, Bai Haichan was undoubtedly satisfied with Fang Han, which is why he put forward this condition
At this thought, Fang Qingshan could not wait to discover which world had been newly opened. However, at that moment, a faint sound of footsteps came from a distance
Steeling himself, although he felt a deep reluctance, Fang Han was particularly adept at assessing the situation. He took out the black iron box and the scroll from his arms and pushed them in front of the corpse
Not bad! Bai Hai Chan nodded and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "As long as you agree to a few conditions, I will grant you immense wealth and fortune. In the future, breaking through to divine powers or even becoming an immortal will not be a problem"
Listening to the Rain Pavilion
The young servant of the Fang family! Fang Han, unaware of this person's temperament, did not dare to lie
How is it that you take something and prepare to leave without even asking me, the owner, whether I agree
Suddenly, Fang Han felt a chill in his hand, and his heart was filled with joy. He reached out and retrieved a mysterious iron box from the corpse's embrace, along with a rolled-up scroll.
"Have you ever seen a ghost with a shadow?" the corpse asked faintly.
Fang Han took a look and immediately felt relieved. Under the moonlight, however, behind the corpse was a long shadow being dragged.
This scene before me is truly reminiscent of something I have encountered before
"Is it my turn to have good fortune?" Fang Han asked in confusion, yet in his heart, he was already contemplating that he had indeed experienced a turn of fortune half a day ago
"Breakthrough to divine powers?" Fang Han's eyes suddenly lit up. As for becoming an immortal, he instinctively overlooked that thought. He then calmed down and cautiously asked, "What are the conditions?"
Originally, Bai Hai Chan intended to casually kill Fang Han to vent his anger, but after glancing around, he suddenly changed his mind
"I won't agree!" Fang Han replied unexpectedly firmly, his teeth chattering.
Fang Han retrieved the corpse from the river and searched through it, but found no money; instead, he was drenched in cold sweat.
But one can see that his body is swollen from the blisters, and there are numerous man-made wounds, especially on his back, which appears as if it has been struck by lightning
Everything else was fine, but Fang Han immediately noticed the golden lock on the black iron box, and his eyes sparkled with excitement. To avoid any prolonged troubles, he quickly tucked the black iron box and the scroll into his bosom, stood up, and prepared to leave this place of conflict.
At that moment, a faint voice echoed in my ear
"Young man, who are you?" Bai Haichan asked casually after a moment of reflection
Are you a servant of the Fang family?" Bai Haichan's face revealed a trace of fierce hatred; if it were not for the Fang family, how could he have fallen to such a state today
Understood, I will be there shortly
In the small courtyard, Fang Qingshan's eyes seemed to be neither fully closed nor completely open, as he envisioned a great river in his mind, with the bright moon rising in the east. With a calm and tranquil mind, he spread his legs apart, adopting a stance reminiscent of the Ding Ba step, with his front leg bent and back leg straight. His five fingers were splayed as he raised his hands to form a front-and-back embracing posture. Once his stance was steady, Wen Yiming had already focused his attention on the Dantian, coordinating his breath as he entered a state of concentration.
"As long as you achieve mastery, take revenge for me and annihilate the Fang family!" Seeing Fang Han maintain a clear mind in this situation, Bai Haichan couldn't help but nod secretly, his expression fierce as he spoke these words
"Has the Fang family been exterminated?" Fang Han was taken aback for a moment, and his conviction grew stronger that Fang Qingshan had anticipated all of this. It was precisely for this reason that he dared not agree, not even to engage in pretense. He firmly shook his head and said, "No, although I am merely a servant of the Fang family, the Fang family has not wronged me. I cannot be so ungrateful!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Han suddenly thought of the Third Young Master, Fang Qingshan, for some reason
Finally, it has been illuminated, it seems that the overall situation has begun, I must also accelerate my cultivation, otherwise, a single step slow means every step slow
