Chapter 290: Chapter 148 Fu Yingying Breakthrough
For someone like Zhang Xuan, who possessed a staunchly masculine sense of cleanliness of spirit, practicing Fox Charm Destiny was an embarrassingly difficult task. From the beginning, he had never intended to practice it, and his breakthroughs to the second and third realms occurred unintentionally. Even if he felt uncomfortable, he endured it!
But reaching the third realm so suddenly, what was that about?
“I’m just standing here doing nothing!”
Filled with doubts, as the Eye of Insight operated, he looked past and then saw the scattered strength of the Old Grand Dowager continuously coming his way, which was then silently absorbed by the Fox Charm Destiny within the Library.
This was a sneak absorption, not even letting him know… How shameless!
“Fourth level it is then…”
Seeing that this thing was tightly intertwined with Youqing Destiny and seemed to also enhance it, Zhang Xuan gave up struggling and turned to look at the two who were inheriting.
At this time, the Old Grand Dowager, with her strength dissipating, looked even older. Strands of death encircled her, and a grayish-blue hue surfaced on her face. It seemed that if not for a staunch intent, she may not have held on.
Across from her, Fu Yingying was full of anxiety but helpless.
Quickly understanding the situation and problems of both sides, Zhang Xuan whispered “Defect,” and a book appeared in his mind. He gently opened it and then transmitted his voice: “Fu Yingying, don’t panic, I’ll now tell you about the problem you’ve encountered in your comprehension…”
Since he had already helped the others to obtain their inheritance, he might as well go all the way and help her solidify her strength and power, which would also benefit him.
“Fox Charm Destiny is not merely about Charming, more importantly, it’s about a spiritual connection…”
After explaining the contents of the book, Zhang Xuan explained the solution to her.
His voice carried a special strength and magnetism, surging into Fu Yingying’s mind, involuntarily making her follow along in practice and learning.
Fox Charm Destiny had broken through to the fourth level. With such power, his comprehension was already not inferior to the Old Grand Dowager’s. Using the library to point more towards the essence, explaining it was easy.
After hearing his words, the somewhat anxious Fu Yingying gradually stabilized her emotions. After a while, suddenly her whole body shook, her comprehension of Fox Charm Destiny progressed further, smoothly reaching the third realm!
Thunder rumbled!
With the breakthrough in realm, the Old Grand Dowager’s strength that surged into her body finally had a place to stay, quickly infusing and allowing her a deeper understanding and insight into this heavenly mandate.
As time passed, after who knows how long, her strength gradually stabilized.
Exhaling lightly, Fu Yingying slowly opened her eyes.
After this session of practice, her comprehension of Fox Charm Destiny smoothly reached the middle stage of the third level. Although there was still a long way to the pinnacle, as long as she practiced step by step, breaking through was just a matter of time.
To comprehend this heavenly mandate to this realm also meant that, as long as there were enough resources, practicing to reach Galaxy 6-dan was completely possible without any bottlenecks!
Such strength could be counted in the Zhou Yi Dynasty.
No wonder everyone wanted to obtain the inheritance, it indeed was much faster than practicing.
Fu Yingying stood up, her eyes reddening.
The Old Grand Dowager who had been sitting before her just now was already lying on a bed not far away, her body stiff, and by the looks of it, she had already stopped breathing.
“Old Grand Dowager…”
Fu Yingying hurried to her side.
“She passed on her understanding of heavenly mandate to you, thus her life naturally reached its end… Inheritance represents the passing of destiny, meaning it represents the old decaying and the new being born, don’t be too sad!”
Beside her, Fu Family Master spoke.
Fu Yingying: “But…”
“There’s no but!”
Interrupting her, Fu Family Master said, “All you need to do is practice well, not betray expectations, and that would be like helping her extend her life, meaning she continues to live…”
“I understand, rest assured clan head, I will work hard!”
Fu Yingying nodded.
Yes, from the moment of inheritance, the Old Grand Dowager had made up her mind to face death, and she herself understood that this result would occur. Rather than being sad, it was better to quickly enhance her strength, not betraying the expectations of the other party.
“It’s good you understand, it’s already been one day, what you need to do is to quickly solidify the inheritance and rapidly increase your strength, striving to gain more opportunities after entering Zhilan Valley,” the Fu Family Master conveyed the final thoughts of the Old Grand Dowager.
“Yes!” She nodded and then seemed to recall something, looking over cautiously: “Clan head, I need the Destiny Plate to aid my practice, could I possibly draw some from the clan’s resources?”
Fu Family Master smiled, “Having received the inheritance from the Old Grand Dowager and having understood the Fox Charm Destiny up to the third level, you are already the next clan head of the Fu Family. Why shouldn’t you withdraw some Destiny Plates?”
“I…” Fu Yingying said, slightly embarrassed, “The amount I want to withdraw might be a bit much!”
“Much? How much could it be?”
Fu Family Master waved his hand grandly, “Three hundred? Five hundred? Rest assured, although our Fu Family isn’t as wealthy as the royalty or as powerful as the Heaven Mandate Hall, we have accumulated quite a few Destiny Plates, enough for you to use…”
Hearing this, Fu Yingying’s embarrassment vanished, and she quickly spoke, “I want… 5000 pieces!”
“???” Fu Family Master stood frozen in place, “How many did you say?”
“5000 pieces… Does our clan have that many?” Fu Yingying looked uncertain.
“That… we do have them, but…”
Fu Family Master’s attitude changed, his face now filled with embarrassment, “That amount is almost all of the Fu Family’s assets. If we give all of it, there will be nothing left for others to practice with…”
“All of it?”
Fu Yingying was stunned.
She had only returned to the family a few days ago and had thought that, being a prominent family in Zouyi Royal City, they would be able to spare tens of thousands of Destiny Plates. She had comfortably promised Zhang Xuan, but now it seemed there were not that many…
“Yes, how about this, I will first give you three thousand pieces and some artifacts that can enhance cultivation. Use these for the time being. In the following days, I will also gather some more!” After a pause, Fu Family Master said.
The Fu Family was strong, but due to its large population, its consumption was also great. Being able to give three thousand pieces at once was already their best effort.
“Thank you, Clan Head!”
Knowing that he couldn’t possibly be lying, Fu Yingying cupped her fists in gratitude.
“Just wait here a moment; I will go and get them now…”
Fu Family Master spoke no further, turning around to leave.
Seeing her walk away, Fu Yingying then turned to Zhang Xuan not far away, her face filled with apology, “I’m really sorry, I originally promised you, but now it seems there might not be enough…”
“It’s okay to make up the difference later,” Zhang Xuan shook his head.
His visit to the Fu Family had been quite rewarding.
Not only had he smoothly achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, but his understanding of the Fox Charm Destiny had also reached the fourth level, becoming the second destiny in his body to reach this stage.
Most importantly, he had helped Fu Yingying successfully obtain the inheritance. Now, with the backing of the Fu Family in Zouyi Royal City, even if others wanted to cause trouble, they would have to reconsider.
After a short while, Fu Family Master returned with 3000 Destiny Plates and numerous resources, handing them over to Fu Yingying, “The news about the old ancestor’s passing can’t be leaked yet, otherwise there would certainly be many who would target our Fu Family. Yingying, you should quickly solidify your cultivation. After your strength is completely stable, try to communicate with Heaven Mandate Domain. If you can forge it, your cultivation will rapidly break through to the limits. Only then can our Fu Family be truly safe.”
The Fu Family had many beautiful women and countless resources. With the old ancestor suppressing everything, no one dared to make a rash move. Now that the old ancestor was no more, letting people with intentions know would definitely cause much trouble.
The only solution was for Fu Yingying to have sufficient strength!
Two days wasn’t a lot of time, but if she could forge the Heaven Mandate Domain, it would be enough. After all, her understanding of destiny had already reached the third level and, before reaching Galaxy 6-dan Peak, what people called barriers would no longer exist.
“Alright, you practice here in peace. After your strength stabilizes, try to communicate with Ten Thousand Fox Well! I won’t disturb you further…” Fu Family Master turned and left.
Seeing her walk away, Fu Yingying handed over a Storage Magical Treasure to Zhang Xuan, “The Destiny Plates you asked for…”
Zhang Xuan took them, storing them in the Suspended Realm, and nodded in satisfaction.
With so much Heavenly Mandate Vitality, even if he couldn’t push the Youqing Destiny to the third level, they would definitely enable his cultivation to greatly increase.
“Focus on your practice. I will also try to break through to Galaxy 2-dan!”
Realizing this, Zhang Xuan didn’t bother to say more and sat down cross-legged.
Having power meant nobody dared to cause trouble, but real safety depended on one’s own strength—it was best to push cultivation to its limits first.
Zhang Xuan was practicing at the Fu Family residence, just outside of the newly bought Zhang shi’s residence; two figures quietly appeared, hiding in the darkness.
“Master, Junior Min hinted to me that this Zhang Xuan’s strength and status are not simple, should we really cause them trouble?”
A hushed voice sounded.
“I had guessed as much earlier, otherwise, he couldn’t have achieved such deep understanding of Mo Dao at such a young age. Even I had to diligently practice for more than forty years to achieve what I have today. Stop talking nonsense, proceed as planned. He’s currently at the Fu Family’s home and can’t leave, which means… this residence poses no danger! It’s a good opportunity to capture his people, then we can threaten this guy to give up the Mo Dao Destiny.”
The figure in front explained briefly, swiftly leapt into the courtyard, and the second figure closely followed, both disappearing into the dark night.
