He immediately asked:

"What, do you perhaps have a grudge against the host of that wedding banquet? If so, please forgive me, fellow Daoist, I am only acting in accordance with official business and cannot offer you much assistance in this matter."

He was just carrying out a mission and really didn't want to get involved in this vortex.

No.

Liu Yanfang shook her head like a rattle-drum.

After her explanation...

Fang Mu finally understood.

Liu Yanfang, Lei Wanhe, and Wang Maolin are three childhood friends.

The three of them once traveled together to the Yue Kingdom.

After being together for a long time, the woman becomes lonely.

Liu Yanfang and Wang Maolin, who are the hosts of the wedding banquet that Fang Mu attended, fell in love.

The two shared a room, and their virginity was irreversible.

Liu Yanfang gave him everything.

But in the end, she was the bride at his wedding.

Fang Mu's expression showed understanding.

No wonder, as a close partner, Wang Maolin invited Lei Wanhe to the banquet but not her.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, I will not make things difficult for you. My heart is already dead. I ask for nothing more than to be able to see the wedding banquet one last time. That would be enough for me. May I accompany you?"

Liu Yanfang opened her cherry lips and finally revealed the purpose of intercepting Fang Mu today.

"Can."

They each took one person with them.

Fang Mu didn't care anymore.

The two set off at the same time.

We flew for half a day.

We arrived at a cluster of buildings nestled between two mountains.

At this moment, the buildings were filled with joy, drums and gongs resounded, and red lanterns were everywhere.

"Halt! Show your invitation!"

The two guards at the entrance spoke to Fang Mu and his companion as they approached.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, the Wang family is an ancient family with a history of over a thousand years. Their internal protective formation is powerful enough to reach the Core Formation level. Without an invitation, you will be expelled."

Liu Yanfang whispered a reminder in Fang Mu's ear.

Fang Mu produced the invitation and was granted permission to pass.

He thought to himself, "This woman knows so much."

It was clear that she had come alone without an invitation and was stopped at the door.

Having no other choice, they waited on the only road leading to the Wang family's residence.

Actually, it wasn't just waiting for Fang Mu.

She'll wait for whoever takes on that task.

Enter the banquet.

Fang Mu presented a congratulatory gift.

This was certainly not something he produced himself.

Instead, he received it from Uncle Lei before leaving.

Speaking of which...

This was purely coincidental.

Fang Mu made a deal with Lei Wanhe not long ago.

Having obtained the medicinal herb he had been longing for, the other party eagerly went to refine the elixir.

Therefore, I didn't have time to attend my old friend's wedding banquet.

Only then was the task issued.

Unfortunately, Fang Mu happened to receive this task.

All of this is interconnected, one link after another.

It can only be described as a coincidence.

They enjoyed a delicious feast of spiritual food at the wedding banquet.

In the evening, Fang Mu was invited to a guest room, where he prepared to leave the next day.

Liu Yanfang's room was right next to hers.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened.

A graceful woman in her early twenties walked in.

Fang Mu recognized her.

This person is Wang Maolin's younger sister, named Wang Yueguang, who has a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

Although she looks only in her early twenties.

But actually, she's not that age.

In the cultivation world, apart from the Youth Preservation Pill, many cultivation techniques come with beauty-enhancing effects.

While we cannot make youth last forever, we can certainly slow down the aging process.

In Fang Mu's view, this person was exactly this type.

Fang Mu sensed a strong sense of threat from this person.

He dared not be careless.

He immediately stood up, cupped his hands in a polite gesture, and said:

"So it's Fellow Daoist Wang. May I ask what brings you here at this hour?"

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing else?"

Wang Yueguang made a joke, then his smile faded, and he said:

"Fellow Daoist, you have come on behalf of Uncle Lei. When you return, please convey my Wang family's regards to him."

It turns out they came for Lei Wanhe.

Fang Mu understood. He said, "How could someone at the early stage of Foundation Establishment have such a big reputation that someone at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment would come to visit me?"

"must!"

Not long after Wang Yueguang left.

Liu Yanfang moved gracefully, knocked on the door, and after receiving Fang Mu's permission, entered.

She said she was heartbroken and would return to Huangfeng Valley with Fang Mu the next day.

Fang Mu looked at the heartbroken woman and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The two were exchanging pleasantries.

There was another knock on the door.

It turned out to be Wang Yueguang.

She went next door to look for Liu Yanfang, but couldn't find her, so she came here.

"Sister Liu, don't be sad. My brother said that he felt extremely guilty for doing this, and he wanted to make it up to you."

He's going to tell you a huge secret.

A hundred miles away from here, there is a swamp where several Yuanling Flowers grow, which are unparalleled medicinal herbs for enhancing cultivation.

My Wang family also suffered the loss of several clansmen before we were able to discover this.

The fact that I'm giving it to you for free shows how sincere my brother is towards you.

Even if you have a thousand grievances in your heart, you should be relieved!

Upon hearing about the Yuanling Flower, Fang Mu felt a surge of excitement.

I felt a sense of having searched high and low without finding it, only to have it come to me effortlessly.

He really wanted to go, but no one invited him.

Joining without permission would be extremely impolite.

His mind was racing.

On the other side, Liu Yanfang looked conflicted and said she needed to think about it some more.

Wang Yueguang is gone.

Liu Yanfang also left.

Fang Mu hoped that Liu Yanfang would agree.

In that way, he could use her connections to his advantage and take the opportunity to join in.

For others, the more of these Yuanling Flowers, the better.

They eat as much as they can, like candy beans.

But his goal was clear: not many, just one plant would be enough.

And he is not greedy.

And so the night passed.

In the early morning, dewdrops clung to the grass branches and leaves, bending them low, before finally sliding to the ground.

The door opened.

Fang Mu, however, took the initiative to approach Liu Yanfang.

He spent the night thinking.

She felt that the Yuanling Flower was too important to her.

After all, he had been listed as a quest leader in the Hundred Machines Hall of Yellow Maple Valley for so long without any news.

Now that we finally have some news, we absolutely can't miss it.

After much thought, he decided that he had no choice but to personally approach his fellow student, Liu Yanfang.

However, inside the room, the two sat down facing each other, before Fang Mu could reveal his purpose.

His face lit up with joy at what the other person said.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, I have wasted decades in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Perhaps I am just one Yuanling Flower away from breaking through to the Pseudo-Core stage. The formation of the Core stage is not impossible after that. The Great Dao is within reach."

I really don't want to miss this opportunity.

"You go back first. I'm going to explore that swamp with the Wang family."

"That's great! Take me with you too. Don't worry, as a fellow disciple, I won't harm you. We can form an alliance to explore the swamp together, and you'll be safer that way."

Fang Mu smiled and revealed his purpose.

"you?"

Liu Yanfang frowned, looking at Fang Mu with suspicion.

After all, he was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and he was a newly promoted one.

Lacking any real foundation, he seems like a burden no matter how you look at it.
