Chapter 370

"The eldest young lady and Young Master Yu have truly come to us—they've returned home! This is a matter of heavenly magnitude!"

"The young lady's gaze is so powerful—I feel the immense strength in both the young lady and the young master. When their eyes turn toward us, it's utterly terrifying!"

Just as the Fang family's disciples were reeling in shock, several figures strode out from within the Fang residence—the leader being Fang Zetao, the patriarch of the Fang family; alongside him were Fang Tong, the Giant Hand, and Fang Zeshan, the family's second uncle.

"Qingxue! Yu… son, you've returned!"

Seeing Fang Qingxue and Fang Yu arrive, Fang Zetao's face immediately lit up with boundless joy, yet he now felt a certain strangeness toward Fang Yu.

For the Fang Yu before him was no longer the child he remembered, stuck in the Physical Body Secret Realm—he had cultivated to the Divine Ability Secret Realm, a transcendent being whose arrival in the Great Li Dynasty would compel even the Emperor to tread with caution and show utmost respect.

The Fang Yu standing before him had indeed changed drastically.

Not only had he grown taller and more handsome than before, but even his casual glance radiated overwhelming pressure—an aura only one who had long held supreme authority could possess.

"Father."

Fang Qingxue spoke two words.

"Good, good, good—come in, come in! This is the greatest joy for our Fang family! Issue my order: all our elites and core disciples must come here immediately. You two really should've informed me before returning—I'd have prepared everything properly!"

Fang Zetao's face brimmed with uncontainable delight as he urgently ushered Fang Qingxue and Fang Yu inside.

Fang Yu and Fang Qingxue exchanged a glance, then stepped together into the inner compound of the Fang residence.

Inside the inner compound, seating was quickly arranged.

Although Fang Zetao, as patriarch, should have sat in the central seat, the arrival of two Divine Ability Secret Realm cultivators led him to immediately vacate the center, taking his place to the left and right of Fang Yu and Fang Qingxue.

The Fang family's elites and core disciples sat below them—these were the family's most core disciples, exempt from all labor, required only to cultivate daily and elevate their cultivation base.

In the Fang family, only the most elite disciples received such treatment; those lacking strength could only rely on family wealth for support, or take up trade or official posts, doing minor tasks.

At this moment, these core disciples wore expressions of great joy, awaiting words from their family's immortals.

"This time, I broke through to the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities, Golden Core Realm, so I had some time to return home and see what outstanding disciples our Fang family has produced."

Fang Qingxue spoke first.

"As for Young Brother Yu, his cultivation base has also reached the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavy Heavenly Man Realm—we'll stay at home for a few days."

Fang Qingxue added.

At these words, every disciple of the Fang family wore expressions of shock.

"The 7th Stage of Divine Abilities? What realm is that?"

"You don't even know that? Uncle Tong told us once: the Physical Body Secret Realm has ten stages, and so does the Divine Ability Secret Realm—but for us, the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities is impossibly distant. After all, reaching the 10th Stage of Physical Body is already like burning incense to the gods."

"The eldest young lady's cultivation has reached the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities? How terrifying—that must be invincible! I once heard Uncle Tong say even a 1st Stage of Divine Abilities is like an immortal—so the 7th must be absolute supremacy!"

"The 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavy Heavenly Man Realm—Young Master Yu is also incredibly strong. He's only cultivated for one year and already reached the 5th Stage. That realm grants eight hundred years of lifespan!"

"Then doesn't that mean the eldest young lady's lifespan exceeds eight hundred years? Unbelievable—most dynasties don't last three hundred!"

The Fang family disciples were no ordinary mortal clan—they knew something of cultivation. Some even knew the distinctions within the Divine Ability Secret Realm: Heavy Heavenly Man Realm and Golden Core Realm. Their words instantly stunned every Fang disciple.

A Heavenly Man Realm expert possesses eight hundred years of lifespan—does that mean Young Master Yu can protect the Fang family for eight hundred years?

Eight hundred years—enough to transform the Fang family into an unimaginably fearsome lineage, even to establish a kingdom without difficulty.

"This time, Qingxue-senior and I have come to see what talents in our Fang family are worth nurturing. Of course, since this is my first return after achieving cultivation, I've brought gifts for everyone."

Fang Yu looked at the varied expressions of the Fang disciples and spoke.

The moment "gifts" was uttered, every disciple's face lit up with anticipation—they all remembered the last time the eldest young lady came, she gave them Essence Pills!

Human Grade Mid-Tier elixirs, Essence Pills, were extraordinarily effective for them—remarkably potent for refining the Physical Body and enhancing strength.

Some disciples had struggled immensely to reach the 5th Stage of Physical Body, Realm of Divine Power—but thanks to the Essence Pills, several broke through into the Realm of Divine Power.

No one knew what wonderful thing Young Master Yu would bring this time.

"I didn't bring many good things this time, but I do have ten thousand Nascent Soul Pills and one million White Sun Pills."

Fang Yu simply gestured—and in the air, one elixir after another materialized. First appeared ten thousand elixirs, each plump and brimming with dense essence, so concentrated it coalesced into shapes resembling infants.

Then came one million elixirs, forming a river of pills in midair. Fang Zetao trembled all over; every single disciple of the Fang family trembled as well.

"Human Grade High-Tier elixirs—White Sun Pills! One million of them! The old man of the Li family in our Great Li Dynasty got just one White Sun Pill and bragged endlessly, claiming he'd make it a family heirloom!"

Fang Zeshan's face showed utter disbelief. He considered himself a man of the world as the Fang family's second master—but when one million White Sun Pills appeared before him, his body couldn't help trembling.

So many White Sun Pills stored here would be a curse, not a blessing.

"Am I dreaming? Before, we were thrilled to get one Essence Pill per month—how in just under a year have we come to possess so many White Sun Pills?"

"What kind of miracle did Young Master Yu encounter? After only one year of cultivation, he's amassed such wealth—and gives it all away! If I took White Sun Pills daily, I could enter the Divine Ability Secret Realm!"

"Unfathomable. Impossible to imagine. Our Fang family has truly prospered—utterly, completely prospered!"

Every Fang disciple wore expressions of shock and awe. Fang Zetao's face glowed with joy beyond measure—but then his expression turned stern. "All disciples: not a single word of this may be leaked. Violators will be punished without mercy. Do you understand?"

"We understand!"

All core disciples nodded.

They knew such secrets must never be revealed—there could be grave danger.

One million White Sun Pills could indeed drive some to desperate acts.

But all disciples here shared the Fang family's fate—bound by shared glory and ruin—they would never betray it.

"Besides these one million elixirs, I will also teach you some Physical Body refinement methods. Each of you will receive a magic treasure flying sword and a magic treasure armor."

Fang Yu spoke again, and from his magic treasure pouch flew forth hundreds of flying swords and robes—all taken from the Divine Clan, now bestowed upon them.

"So many magic treasures!"

Fang Zetao was too stunned to speak. Technically, a 5th Stage of Divine Abilities cultivator could forge magic treasures—but Fang Yu, their peerless genius, had just produced hundreds at once—how could a cultivator with only one year of cultivation possibly possess such things?

Shocking. Utterly shocking.

"Enough. No need to be stunned. When you reach higher realms, come to Yuhua Sect and take the Canjiawei Sect entrance examination. For now, the entrance test is still simple—but in time, the standards may rise."

Fang Yu smiled.

"We humbly obey Young Master Yu's command!"

All the Fang family disciples spoke in unison.

They were now in absolute awe, absolute shock, and absolute worship of this Young Master Yu.

"I used to think the Young Lady was generous, taking out so many Essence Yuan Pills to reward us, but only now do I know what true generosity really is!"

"The White Yang Pill is a Human Grade Superior elixir, the Nascent Soul Pill is a Human Grade Top-Tier elixir. Now that we have these elixirs, why worry about failing to cultivate to a higher realm of the Physical Body Secret Realm?"

"We must cultivate, we must cultivate right now. We'll cultivate to the seventh, eighth layer of the Physical Body Secret Realm, then go to the Yuhua Sect to take the Canjiawai Sect outer disciple examination. Once we enter the Yuhua Sect, that will be 'the pavilion by the water gets the moonlight first'!"

"Exactly. The Young Lady and Young Master Yu are figures like immortals. Even when they come home, it's only once every few years. But if we reach the Yuhua Sect, we can see the Young Lady and Young Master Yu often. If they casually gave us a bit of guidance, the benefits would be endless."

"That's exactly the logic."

After the Fang family disciples obtained the flying swords and clothing of spiritual artifacts, and also received the White Yang Pills and Nascent Soul Pills, each and every one of them was overjoyed, their ambitions soaring. They were determined to cultivate well and elevate the realm as soon as possible.

And Fang Yu and Fang Qingxue also left the Fang family mansion to take a stroll outside.

"Brother Yu, you truly held great power just now. Every move you made controlled the fate of others."

Fang Qingxue said with a smile.

"Giving others hope is giving yourself hope. Back then, Senior Sister Qingxue gave me hope, so of course I must now give some hope to the Fang family disciples. As for matters of fate, no one can say for sure. Who knows, as we walk along, we might all encounter some miraculous adventures."

As the two spoke, they walked to the Long Yuan River. This great river surged with towering waves, magnificent and vast, stretching endlessly to the horizon, as if a flood dragon truly lurked at the bottom of the river.

"What a fine river."

"What a fine scene."

"What a fine junior brother."
