Mortal: I have a gathering technique

The border of the Yuanwu Kingdom.

Fang Qing piloted the Green Wind Boat, humming an unknown tune, as it sped across the vast mountain range.

It's clear he's in a good mood.

That is indeed the case.

Because he collected three items from Xin Ruyin:

Array Dao talent, Dragon Roar Body, and Supreme Yang Qi.

The array formation talent needs no further explanation; once used, it has a similar effect to the weapon crafting talent.

The ultimate Yang energy is the extra hot Yang energy that Xin Ruyin experiences after her Dragon Roar Body takes effect.

This yang energy, like spiritual energy and the magical power of cultivators, is a tangible thing.

Fang Qing collected them with the intention of alleviating Xin Ruyin's symptoms and easing her suffering.

But after he collected it, he discovered that this yang energy was actually similar to elixirs and could be used to enhance his magical power.

It should be noted that Fang Qing had also collected the magical power of other cultivators, but he could not integrate their magical power with his own.

This yang energy can help people cultivate, and it must be said that the Dragon Roar Body is indeed quite miraculous.

The Dragon's Roar Body originally meant that a male body was mistakenly born into a female body, meaning that this physique is only suitable for male cultivators.

After using the Dragon Roar Body, Fang Qing did indeed feel that he had gained a Yang attribute.

In the world of cultivation, there are three types of Yang attribute physiques, from lowest to highest: Three Yang Physique, Six Yang Physique, and Nine Yang Physique.

Among them, the Nine Yang Body is also known as the Extreme Yang Body or the Ultimate Yang Body.

Fang Qing tested himself using the Great Sun Divine Illumination Record and felt that he should have an extremely yang body.

With dual spiritual roots and an extremely yang body, in terms of cultivation speed alone, he is no less than someone with a heavenly spiritual root, and may even surpass him.

"With my current qualifications, if I went to Huangfeng Valley to become an apprentice, even without proof of identity, they would probably fight to take me in. It might even attract Li Huayuan's attention!"

Fang Qing was full of confidence about whether he could join Huangfeng Valley. In fact, he felt that he didn't even need to produce an Ascension Token.

The aptitude of Extreme Yang Body is even rarer than that of Different Spiritual Root. Who wouldn't fight to have it if they came across it?

As for whether Huangfeng Valley will mistake him for a spy.

What a joke! Who would send such a genius out as a spy? Are they out of their mind?

Even if they were truly spies, they would probably accept the offer, then reason with them and appeal to their emotions. If they were successfully turned, they would make a fortune.

"However, it would be best to attract Li Huayuan. If we could be directly accepted as a disciple by Li Huayuan, the plans for going to the forbidden area later would be much simpler..."

Fang Qing stroked his chin, his thoughts drifting away.

………………

Time flies, and it's that time of year again when the seven sects of Yue Kingdom open their gates to the public.

On this day, the market in Huangfeng Valley was exceptionally lively.

Throughout the entire Yue Kingdom, all the cultivation families originating from Huangfeng Valley gathered in Huangfeng Valley Market with their outstanding descendants.

Fangshi North Street.

The square, which used to be rented out to monks to set up stalls, is now filled with fluttering flags and a sea of ​​people.

Most of the descendants of aristocratic families who participated in the apprenticeship ceremony were around ten years old, with a few slightly older ones being around twelve or thirteen.

When young people get together, they inevitably play around and joke around, but right now no one dares to be unruly, and they even try to keep their voices down when they talk to each other.

All of this stemmed from the three people sitting in the middle of the square.

These three were all stewards of Huangfeng Valley, all Foundation Establishment seniors. One of them, an elderly man with graying hair, was said to have reached the late Foundation Establishment stage.

In front of such a senior, who would dare to cause trouble?

Without being told, everyone obediently lined up according to the order of arrival.

Fang Qing did not join the queue, but stood on the street corner with Han Li, watching from a distance.

Near the two, there were quite a few independent cultivators watching the commotion.

At this moment, the three deacons of Huangfeng Valley have begun the apprenticeship process.

The process is very simple, with only two steps: first, verifying the identity and background; second, testing the spiritual root aptitude.

The identity and origin are determined by checking bloodline, while the spiritual root aptitude requires at least three spiritual roots.

After each person was examined, the three deacons would announce their qualifications in public.

Having three spiritual roots is fine, as almost no one pays attention to it. But having two spiritual roots is different; almost every time one appears, it attracts the attention of others.

This year, Huangfeng Valley is showing clear signs of great prosperity, with the emergence of a pair of brothers with lightning spiritual roots.

When the qualifications of these two individuals were reported, the entire square was in an uproar, and everyone cast envious glances.

Just when everyone thought that this pair of brothers would become the most qualified in this competition, unexpectedly, another child surnamed Wang, who was born with the "Mysterious Yin Eye", appeared.

This Mysterious Yin Eye is extremely powerful; it can be used to cultivate "Divine Light of the Eye," a pupil technique that can subdue all evil spirits and monsters in the world.

When Fang Qing saw this scene, his eyes flickered and his mind raced.

He didn't actually want to collect the Xuan Yin Eye from the boy surnamed Wang.

The Eye of Profound Yin, as its name suggests, is of the Profound Yin attribute, while he is of the Extreme Yang body. The two are in opposition, so he definitely cannot use it now.

Fang Qing was simply curious whether, if the Xuan Yin Eye were to be harvested, it would yield a pair of eyeballs directly, or whether it would yield this kind of aptitude and talent.

If it were an eyeball, it definitely wouldn't be usable.

However, if it's about aptitude and talent, you should pay attention to "spiritual eyes" that are other than those with the Yin attribute.

……

Time passed slowly, and as the sun began to set, the apprenticeship ceremony finally drew to a close.

Seeing this, Fang Qing took a step and walked towards the center of the square.

His move quickly attracted the attention of the other rogue cultivators. They were taken aback at first, and then revealed a sneer.

"What's this guy doing? Does he think Yellow Maple Valley would accept us rogue cultivators?"

"Perhaps he's confident in his abilities?"

"Ha ha……"

……

Fang Qing ignored the taunts behind her and continued walking forward.

At this moment, the elder with the highest cultivation among the three deacons also noticed Fang Qing. He stroked his long beard and chuckled:

"Little one, apart from the Ascension Ceremony, our Yellow Maple Valley does not recruit any independent cultivators."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the square looked over. Some looked curious, some looked disdainful, and some stared wide-eyed, hoping to see a joke...

Fang Qing continued walking without stopping, while simultaneously transmitting his voice:

"I have an Ascension Token. May I join Yellow Maple Valley?"

Although he was confident that he could enter Huangfeng Valley with his qualifications, it would be safer to use the Ascension Token.

Personal safety!

The old man was stunned. He hadn't seen an Ascension Token for many years, and he could hardly believe it.

"really?"

"How could a junior dare to deceive a senior in this matter?"

While transmitting his voice, Fang Qing quickly walked to the old man and presented the Ascension Token to him in front of everyone.

The old man took the black triangular token, examined it several times in his hand, and then looked up at Fang Qing intently.

Ascension tokens are generally recognized by the token itself, not the person holding it. So, although he was curious about the origin of this token, he ultimately didn't ask. Instead, he said:

"The token is genuine. Let me see your qualifications."

Fang Qing readily agreed and extended his hand.

The old man placed a single finger on the ground, and after a few breaths, he raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "Dual spiritual roots of water and fire, not bad."

As he spoke, he was about to retract his finger.

suddenly,

"Hmm, something's not right?"

As if sensing something again, the old man frowned, extended a finger again, and then his eyes widened, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face.

"It's actually...it's still extremely—!"

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, turned to his two companions and said, "You handle the rest. I'll take this boy back to the sect first." Then, with a burst of magical power, he wrapped Fang Qing in his magic and quickly left.
