Mortal: I have a gathering technique

Fang Qing had no objection to Linghu Laoguai's decision.

"Everything is up to Master."

Fang Qing smiled and relinquished the initiative.

Linghu Laoguai nodded with satisfaction, then carefully examined Fang Qing and said:

"I see your cultivation has already reached the Pseudo-Core stage. When do you plan to form your Core?"

About a month ago, Fang Qing had already reached the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, and during this time he had been honing his magical power.

According to his estimate, in another month or two, he should be able to complete the final adjustments before forming the core.

Thinking of this, he pondered and said:

"With my aptitude, it would take me at least a year and a half to condense a golden core. I think it's best to wait until we retreat to Yunluo Kingdom before making any plans."

Linghu Laoguai had no objection: "As long as you have your own plan, that's fine."

Having said that, he slightly raised his palm, and a crimson object flew towards Fang Qing:

"Here is the Heavenly Sun Jade you requested. I have already obtained it for you. Is this enough?"

Fang Qing's expression brightened, and he grabbed the crimson object. It felt warm to the touch, and in his palm was a fist-sized piece of golden-red jade, emitting a faint red glow.

Indeed, it matched the description of the Heavenly Sun Jade in the Great Sun Divine Illumination Record. Fang Qing smiled and bowed.

"That's enough, thank you, Master!"

That's enough.

Linghu Laoguai nodded with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Fang Qing took his leave.

……

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Spirit Eye Cave.

Fang Qing awoke from his cultivation and exhaled a long breath. After two months of hard work, he had finally honed his magical power to a state of perfection.

If it weren't for the invasion of demonic forces, he could prepare to form his core now.

"However, according to Master's plan, the retreat will be carried out in about six months."

"Six months is definitely not enough time to form the core. Why not take advantage of this break to go to Yuejing and get the 'Fragment of the Void Heaven Palace Map' in the hands of the Yue Emperor?"

Fang Qing stroked his chin, pondering to himself.

With this thought in mind, he quickly packed his things, left the cave, and headed towards Yuejing.

……

half a month later.

Yuejing.

As the capital of the Yue Kingdom, Yuejing was located in the heart of the country, with the Xianglu Grand Canal running through it and major official roads running across it, making it a place of great prosperity and connectivity.

Fang Qing had already landed his Divine Wind Boat on the outskirts of the city, concealed his aura, and disguised himself as a rogue cultivator as he slowly and leisurely walked into the city.

Upon entering the city, the vibrant atmosphere of daily life immediately greets you. The streets, several dozen feet wide, are bustling with traffic and pedestrians, with shops lining both sides of the road, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Fang Qing followed the flow of people inside, intending to first go to the residence of the Prince Xin from the original story.

Emperor Yue himself was also a pseudo-core cultivator, and in addition, he had an avatar and four blood servants.

Although Fang Qing was confident that the Yue Emperor was no match for him, he decided to be on the safe side and first use the young prince from the original story to lure out one or two blood servants, then eliminate them one by one.

Thinking this, Fang Qing was about to ask a passerby for directions to the Prince Xin's residence when suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight.

"Huh, Han Li is here too?"

Fang Qing raised an eyebrow, thinking it was truly a coincidence.

At the same time, Han Li also sensed Fang Qing's gaze. He turned around and his eyes immediately shifted to Fang Qing, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

Fang Qing quickly glanced around, then gestured towards a restaurant not far away, indicating that they should meet there.

Han Li nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The two walked towards the restaurant, one after the other.

This building faces the street and has a two-story wooden structure with an antique feel. Above the main entrance hangs a dark plaque with the four large characters "Xianyun Restaurant".

Fang Qing glanced at it, passed through the door, and went straight up to the second floor.

With more than half the guests in the building, Fang Qing chose a table by the window and sat down, followed closely by Han Li.

After the two sat down, they casually ordered a few dishes and began to chat.

"Junior brother, weren't you supposed to be in seclusion cultivating diligently? How come you have time to come here?"

Fang Qing asked the question knowingly, and teased Han Li with a smile.

Han Li picked up the wine pot, poured wine for Fang Qing, and replied:

"To be honest, senior brother, I came to Yuejing on our master's orders."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing thought to himself that they were indeed here for the Qin family. However, the six sects of the Demonic Path were currently blocked between the two kingdoms of Cheqi. He wondered why Li Huayuan had sent Han Li here.

Thinking of this, Fang Qing deliberately feigned a hint of doubt: "Master's orders?"

Seeing this, Han Li hesitated for a moment, then felt there was no need to hide anything and said:

"With the demonic invasion, our Yellow Maple Valley is about to evacuate, right? My master has an old friend in the secular world in Yuejing, so he sent me to give him a heads-up..."

The so-called greeting was only one aspect; the main purpose was to get one of the Qin family's sons to settle in Yunluo Kingdom with Li Huayuan.

If it were the situation in the original story, Li Huayuan would definitely not have sought this trouble, but now that Fang Qing has provided a teleportation array, one more person doesn't matter, at most it would only cost a few teleportation spirit stones.

After Han Li finished speaking, he looked at Fang Qing with a curious expression:

"What brings you to Yuejing, Senior Brother?"

Fang Qing's heart stirred, and after thinking for a moment, he recounted the story of the Black Fiend Sect in a different guise.

According to his account, he had accidentally discovered the existence of the Black Fiend Sect during his travels. After some investigation, he learned that the leader of the Black Fiend Sect practiced a technique called the "Black Fiend Asura Technique." Out of curiosity, he came to take a look.

At this point, Fang Qing looked at Han Li with a meaningful expression and smiled:

"As far as I know, there is a technique called 'Shadow Core Technique' in the Black Fiend Asura Technique. Foundation Establishment cultivators who practice this technique, even if they have the worst aptitude, have a one-third chance of forming something called 'Shadow Core'."

"Although this Blood Fiend Pill is not as good as the Golden Core, it can still prolong life. Junior Brother, would you like to come with me to investigate the Blood Fiend Sect?"

Fang Qing hadn't originally planned to invite anyone along, but since he'd run into Han Li, he figured he might as well join him.

After all, more people mean more strength and more security.

Although Han Li possessed the small green bottle, he had never been confident in achieving the Core Formation. Upon hearing about the "Core Formation Killing Technique," he immediately became interested.

After a brief moment of thought, he accepted Fang Qing's invitation.

"When does Senior Brother plan to make his move?"

Han Li asked with a serious expression, for planning before acting has always been his nature.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing chuckled and said, "Let's not rush into action. Allow me to make a deal first."

After saying that, he turned his gaze and landed on an old man in a green robe behind the counter on the second floor.

The old man had gray hair and looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He looked no different from an ordinary old man, but occasionally a trace of spiritual energy would emanate from his body.

The fluctuation was extremely weak, and even a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment might not be able to detect it. However, Fang Qing was already in the Pseudo-Core Formation Realm and had also cultivated the Great Evolution Technique. His cultivation and spiritual sense were much higher than this old man's, so he could tell at a glance that the other party was a cultivator with the ninth level of Qi Refining.

With a restaurant and such a magical ability to conceal one's aura, Fang Qing immediately thought of the grandfather and grandson surnamed Xiao from the original story.

Author Erhaqishi personally recommends: I hope you enjoy the story of "Ordinary Man: I Have a Skill of Gathering".

At this point, Fang Qing looked at Han Li with a meaningful expression and smiled:
