Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

The most crucial ingredient is the toad skin required in the secret medicine. It is dried, crushed, ground into powder, and mixed into the medicine. This will make the internal energy cultivated more refined and spiritual. This is something that ordinary internal energy cultivation methods, even the best ones, can hardly achieve.

A cold toad paired with another cold toad—it's truly a perfect match.

Of course, Meng Zhao has not yet been able to fully understand whether there are any special secrets involved. He will wait until he returns to Xiaohan Village to ponder them slowly.

Meng Zhao made sure that the martial arts manual and secret medicine formulas he had obtained were without any problems, at least not before he began to practice them. So, as agreed, he released Fang Zijun and Wen Bo.

Then, he left with Qi Fang. As for Fang Zijun and Wen Bo, it was only an hour later that Meng Zhao slowly lifted the seal on them.

For the entire hour, neither of them spoke; they simply waited there quietly.

Fang Zijun was unwilling to talk to Wenbo because he was angry and resentful. Wenbo was supposed to be his protector, but he couldn't even protect himself, which inevitably made him feel useless and he didn't care much about him.

Of course, the years of support and Wenbo's position in front of Old Master Fang also prevented him from saying anything disrespectful.

Wenbo felt guilty, and since Fang Zijun didn't speak up, he didn't know what to say.

Finally, the two regained their strength and left the small hill one after the other, returning to the outside of the local temple, where they saw several corpses lying in disarray.

"When you get back, Wenbo should find an excuse to cover up the deaths of these people and not let his family know what happened today."

Fang Zijun clenched her fists, her slightly sharp nails digging into her flesh, drawing blood, but she felt no pain.

Today's ordeal was truly the most dangerous and humiliating experience of his life. A raging fire burned within him, making him wish he could immediately send out experts from the Fang family to tear the man and woman to pieces and execute them by slow slicing, only then could he quell the hatred in his heart.

However, he remained rational and knew very well that even if he did have the ability, if he failed to kill the snake, he would not be able to escape so easily if he fell into that person's hands again.

If you agree not to pursue the matter, and he then seeks revenge, it's perfectly reasonable for the other party to retaliate in kind.

The biggest difference between him and the typical spoiled brat is that he is very clear-headed and knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

Meng Zhao remained mysterious from beginning to end, never even revealing his true appearance. Such a person is meticulous and likely has many backup plans. In addition, he is ruthless and eliminated the only clue, Fang Han, completely erasing any possibility of being found.

Therefore, he is a terrible person, someone you should avoid offending.

Sometimes, one shouldn't be too serious. If you insist on getting to the bottom of things, you might end up hurting yourself.

As for the loss of manpower, he didn't care at all.

What he truly found difficult to talk about was handing over his family's inherited martial arts to the other party, which was also what he found most unbearable.

"No problem, but, are you really not going to tell the master about what happened today?"

Wenbo paused, somewhat hesitant. In fact, this was quite beneficial to him, at least it saved face, which was more important than anything else.

However, the Fang family was still in great danger after this ordeal. No one could guarantee what the person who obtained the Fang family's martial arts would do in the future. If it was kept secret and something went wrong later, it would still be Fang Zijun's responsibility.

Fang Zijun thought for a moment and said,

"I will secretly tell my father about this and ask him to make the decision. As for others, it must not be told to anyone else."

It has to be said that Meng Zhao's provocative words today have taken root and sprouted in his heart. Therefore, he subconsciously became more wary of his other brothers and would never allow such a handle to be leaked.

Wenbo nodded. As long as he could tell Grandpa Fang, that would be enough.

The next morning, Fang Zijun rushed to the Fang family mansion and, under the pretext of missing her father, created an environment for the two of them to be alone.

This is a very large study with thirty-two bookshelves in total, each containing anywhere from several hundred to over a thousand books.

The left and right walls have twelve windows carved out, and from each window you can see lush greenery and blooming flowers, a beautiful sight to behold.

This is a mausoleum built by the Fang family at great expense for the old man to recuperate. The study is located in the mausoleum, surrounded by a pure and refreshing atmosphere. Ordinary people living here can probably live a long and healthy life. It is really a good place to live in seclusion.

Grandpa Fang was not young, and he was injured. He looked thin and frail, like a man in his sixties.

She was dressed simply and didn't have any precious or valuable ornaments on her body.

However, he possessed an extraordinary aura, especially his eyes, which were as cold as icebergs. A glance from them would give one a terrifying feeling of being frozen in one's entire body, even one's soul would not be able to withstand it. This was the degree to which he had cultivated his internal strength to the point that it had seeped into his very bones.

However, this is when facing outsiders.

When facing his son, Grandpa Fang's gaze softened considerably, his eyes seeming to melt like icebergs, adding a touch of warmth.

He held a string of ice beads carved from special cold jade in his hand, and slowly manipulated them. From within these ice beads, a continuous stream of cool energy flowed into his body, suppressing the fire poison.

When Fang Zijun saw his father, the first thing he instinctively looked at was the right side of Fang's neck, where there was a patch of charred black skin and thumb-sized sores, which was also the focus of the Nine Heavens Sun Force.

The battle between Grandpa Fang and Zheng Lie that day, while not earth-shattering, was definitely the most high-level battle in Kaiyan County in recent years.

The two were like ice and fire, one cold and the other hot, locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to give an inch.

Moreover, they are all highly skilled individuals with unique and extraordinary techniques.

The final duel was evenly matched, so they decided to settle the score with their internal energy. In the end, it was because Old Master Fang had prepared in advance and used a method to enhance his own power, thus gaining the upper hand over Zheng Lie.

Zheng Lie's death also caused Old Master Fang great distress; he suffered greatly under the Nine Heavens Sun Force.
In fact, Grandpa Fang himself was well aware that, based on the actual level of martial arts skills and abilities, the one who truly won should have been Zheng Lie.

The other party has exceptional physical attributes and extraordinary talent, surpassing him. Therefore, at only thirty years old, his skill level already exceeds his.

However, the outcome of a game of chess can sometimes be determined on the chessboard, and sometimes it can be determined outside the chessboard.

This time, with a more cautious mindset and richer experience, Grandpa Fang taught a lesson to young people like Zheng Lie.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Now, several years later, most of the fire poison in Zheng Lie's Nine Heavens Sun Force has been expelled, leaving only a small portion that is still stubbornly resisting.

However, Old Master Fang was also very skilled. He forced all the fire poison to one place, which was the right side of his neck, where it appeared as a sore. Then, he gradually resolved it by peeling back the layers of the sore.

Judging from the current timeline, it will take at least one year, and at most two years, to completely neutralize the fire poison. Not only that, but on this basis, Old Master Fang can further develop his Seven Revolutions Cold Toad Devouring Divine Skill to an even higher level, greatly increasing his power and martial arts skills, making him the undisputed strongest person in Kaiyan County. It's only a matter of time.

At that time, even if Zheng Lie were to be resurrected and try to compete with Old Master Fang, he would only face defeat and death.

Therefore, the Fang family's power was actually on a steady upward trajectory. With the elimination of the Fiery Gang, there was no one in the entire Kaiyan County who could rival or even limit the Fang family.

Upon seeing Fang Zijun, Old Master Fang was in a great mood, but deliberately found fault with her.

"What's wrong? Aren't you enjoying yourself at the Fang family's villa? What are you doing here today?"

Fang Zijun's most absurd behavior, but what makes her so beloved, is her ability to humble herself and curry favor with Old Master Fang.

Seeing this, he quickly put on a pained expression and whispered in a low voice,

"Father, you have really misunderstood your son. Ziju has just experienced a life-or-death crisis and knows that he has committed a heinous crime, which is why he has come to you for help."

Old Master Fang's expression changed slightly. After he got rid of Zheng Lie, the Fang family was already the strongest in the county, and no one could stop them. Who would make a move against Fang Zijun, and who would dare to make a move against Fang Zijun?
However, Fang Zijun couldn't possibly lie to deceive him, and her tone became much colder.
"What's going on? What life-or-death crisis? Do you think someone in the county would dare to lay a hand on you?"

Having no other choice, Fang Zijun revealed that Fang Han had used his weakness of liking married women to lure him out, which turned out to be a trap. He was captured and interrogated about his experiences with the Seven Revolutions Cold Toad Devouring Divine Skill, among other things. She recounted everything without hiding anything.

Since we've already decided to be honest with Old Master Fang, there's no need to hide anything anymore. After all, Old Master Fang knows what kind of person he is better than anyone else.

Right now, we still need to tell everything to the key person in charge and let Old Master Fang decide on the next steps.

After hearing this, Old Master Fang's previously gloomy demeanor dissipated considerably. After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"What does Awen think of that person?"

Fang Zijun was a little confused. Wasn't the focus of their attention the fact that their family's Seven Revolutions Cold Toad Devouring Divine Skill had been stolen?
However, he feared neither heaven nor earth, except for Old Master Fang, and dared not conceal anything, saying...

"Wenbo told me that the person should be young, but his martial arts level is extremely high. He not only has the ambition to create a unique skill, but also the ability to match his ambition."

His talent and aptitude are probably rare in the world.

Furthermore, Wenbo suspected that this person was responsible for Xiongfei's death, but he must have been injured as well, which is why his skills seemed to be lacking.

Otherwise, there would be no need for such elaborate planning, luring us out of the county center before taking action.

Old Master Fang seemed to be deep in thought.
"In other words, the other party really intends to use our family's Seven Revolutions Frost Toad Devouring Divine Art as one of the foundations for creating this art, right?"

Fang Zijun nodded and added,

"He also valued the vortex energy that Wenbo practiced and forced him to reveal it."

"So what are you thinking? You've never suffered such injustice, setbacks, and humiliation in your life. Do you want to find this person and take revenge?"

Fang Zijun hesitated for a moment.
"Well, Father, I'm just at a loss, so I've come to you for advice."

Actually, my grievances are nothing, but the Seven Revolutions Frost Toad Devouring Divine Skill is a secret technique of our Fang family. If it is revealed, it may become a hidden danger in the future!

Upon hearing this, Old Master Fang said with some disappointment,
"You, you, if the Fang family could only rely on one martial art to pass on their legacy, how could we have achieved what we have today and have such a reputation?"
Martial arts skills are indeed secrets that are not passed down, but it depends on the situation.

Take this mysterious person for example, do you know exactly what kind of person he is?

Is he a gentleman who can be deceived and keeps his promises, or a villain who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals?
Or perhaps he is a strongman who does whatever he pleases, acting entirely on his whim?
If you want to take revenge on a gentleman, that's fine. But if you want to take revenge on a villain, you have to be careful of being retaliated against. If you want to take revenge on a powerful person, you have to be even more vigilant, wondering if it will bring disaster upon your family.

I believe that person is well aware of your reputation.

But he kept his promise and let you come back. He is by no means a righteous or honorable person.

Based on what you've said, this person killed Fang Han, the person next to you, to silence him, which is enough to prove that my guess was correct.

Such a ruthless person, if you're going to fight, you'll fight him to the death, leaving no future trouble.

The key issue now is that we don't know the other party's identity or background, nor do we understand their methods and capabilities. What if we really cause big trouble?
"I can't be by your side every second to protect you. You've offended him terribly. If he captures you again, there will be no way you'll get away with it, and no chance of survival!"

"But, are we just going to let it go like this? He just killed members of our Fang family and obtained our family's secret martial arts?"

Fang Zijun actually had a little scheme in mind, wanting Old Master Fang to stand up for him and deal with that mysterious person.

I just didn't expect that Old Master Fang would have the idea of ​​settling things peacefully, which is why I lost control of my emotions.

Old Master Fang sighed.

"The opportunity is here, but my injuries have not fully healed, so even if I wanted to take action, I would be powerless to do so."

Furthermore, strength is never about martial arts skills, but about the person.

Do you know how my Fang family acquired the Nine Revolutions Frost Toad Swallowing the Moon Technique?

Fang Zijun was genuinely unaware of this, and never paid any attention to it.

"You should focus more on practicing martial arts from now on."

Let me tell you the truth: the Nine Revolutions Cold Toad Swallowing the Moon Technique of the Fang family ancestral temple was created by generations of ancestors through continuous improvement and refinement based on their martial arts wisdom. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of our Fang family.

Similarly, the Seven-Turn Cold Toad Devouring Divine Skill is also like this.

Generation after generation of practitioners have continuously deduced, perfected, and even sublimated martial arts.

As long as the Fang family continues, this martial art will always improve, instead of stagnating and stopping.

Therefore, even if that person acquires martial arts skills, it will only be temporary. Our Fang family's Seven Revolutions Cold Toad Devouring Divine Skill will, sooner or later, surpass all previous techniques. Even if he has bad intentions, he will find it difficult to succeed.

Fang Zijun pondered for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Old Master Fang's statement. (End of Chapter)
