Chapter 157: Reward

After all, cultivating the Confucian path required great talent.

And *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer* only needed to be read, and obtaining Scholarly Fragrance and the cultivation techniques in the book was much easier. This also caused a situation where Great Zhou's territory was vast and the population was numerous, and the number of people who read out Scholarly Fragrance and cultivation techniques increased.

The requirements for new recruits at the North and South borders also increased a lot.

In a very short time, these two borders obtained great improvement.

Just when Lv Fang entered the trial ground, these two borders simultaneously launched attacks on Great Zhou, but because too many people knew the cultivation techniques, they beat the armies of the Demon and Barbarian races into a rout.

This matter was still talked about with great relish by everyone in Great Zhou.

"Is it because there is a reward for finishing *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*? That's why the Book Spirit Yan Chixia couldn't finish writing it."

Lv Fang smiled and didn't care.

During this period, because of writing *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, the Book Spirit Yan Chixia actually gained Haoran Righteousness, which could be considered an unexpected joy.

Because of the Ink-Colored Flower, the physical body of the Book Spirit Yan Chixia changed from a Book Spirit to a normal person, which gave him more possibilities for cultivation.

Lv Fang came to the desk and finished writing the last chapter of *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*. At the moment of completion, he received a reward.

Internal Energy Heart Method (Nine Layers)

Cultivating each layer can gather a certain amount of "momentum."

Why is it this reward?

Previously, some people had also gained insights into the Purple Mist Divine Art in *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*. Lv Fang naturally also knew this cultivation technique. Internal energy heart methods like this required long-term cultivation.

Because it didn't increase his strength much and required a large amount of time to cultivate, he had never put much effort into cultivating it.

This rewarded internal energy heart method didn't sound very good by its name.

But it could cultivate momentum, which made him very tempted.

Lv Fang tried to run the internal energy heart method and only felt that the momentum of his whole body gathered in his hands at an extremely fast speed.

That's great!

With this internal energy heart method, it wasn't just increasing momentum, but also greatly improved his control over momentum.

This was definitely a huge hint for him, as all extraordinary powers required momentum, and now it was only the first layer. If he cultivated to the ninth layer, the improvement would definitely be even greater.

"It seems that in the future, I need to cultivate this internal energy heart method."

Lv Fang muttered to himself, lay on the table, closed his eyes, and entered the Ink Brush Realm. Before he came to this Grand Void Illusion Realm, there were already quite a few Ink-Colored Flowers here, among which there were also those that enhanced cultivation techniques.

Upgrade Ink-Colored Flower.

This flower is irrigated by Scholarly Fragrance and can raise the internal energy heart method to the peak of the current layer, but it will not break through.

Lv Fang did not have any hesitation and directly irrigated this Ink-Colored Flower with ten strands of Scholarly Fragrance. After the Ink-Colored Flower merged into his body, he tried to use the internal energy heart method and immediately felt a huge change.

When the internal energy heart method entered the peak of the first layer.

Before, when he ran the internal energy heart method, it still required a certain amount of time, but now, with just a thought, the momentum of his whole body was like an arm.

This feeling was really too smooth.

And after the upgraded Ink-Colored Flower disappeared, the flower bud that bloomed again was an advanced Ink-Colored Flower. As long as this flower is irrigated, it can immediately raise the current layer.

After these days, Lv Fang originally had a little over one hundred strands of Scholarly Fragrance, but he just used ten strands, leaving only ninety strands. He was somewhat hesitant about whether to irrigate and upgrade the Ink-Colored Flower.

Thinking about it, in the end, he gave up.

Don't look at the fact that he has quite a lot of Scholarly Fragrance now, but this is because the Great Zhou Wen Bao is being popularized in the nineteen states. If he uses Scholarly Fragrance too recklessly now, if he needs Scholarly Fragrance at a critical moment in the future, wouldn't he be crying without tears?

Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry during this period, so he planned to wait and see the situation before using Scholarly Fragrance.

Enter the Grand Void Illusion Realm.

The first layer of the Grand Void Mountain had expanded again. This time it expanded quite a lot. However, even so, what met his eyes was still dense crowds of people. One could imagine how many people benefited from the popularization of *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer* and the Great Zhou Wen Bao this time.

There were only Li Yu and Chen Ji on the second layer before, but now there were a hundred more people, and there was no one on the third layer.

It was also because of this that Lv Fang could still have ninety-two strands of Scholarly Fragrance on him after using a large amount of Scholarly Fragrance.

Lv Fang closed his eyes and sensed it, confirming: "It seems that that Demon Heart cannot enter the Ink Brush Realm. That's right, this is my spiritual body. No matter how magical the Demon Heart is, it is only a heart."

Before, he also chatted with the Third Senior Brother Wang Fu.

He told this senior brother everything about the trial ground in the Buddha Kingdom, except for the Demon Heart. Wang Fu's original words were that he wanted to report this matter to the Zhou Emperor.

Lv Fang had thought about it before, and hearing Wang Fu's suggestion, he agreed.

The reason he didn't talk about the Demon Heart was also because he was afraid it would be inappropriate. Anyway, he told the story of Song Ce entering the demonic path. Even if that person said he had problems, it was estimated that no one would believe that person and not believe him.

Take a step back, even if some people felt he had problems.

Anyway, the Demon Heart could not be detected, and he had nothing to fear.

The only thing he needed to do was to never use that Demon Heart.

After Lv Fang figured it out, he came out of the Grand Void Illusion Realm and arrived in front of the Ink-Colored Horizontal. This time, he still used a strand of Scholarly Fragrance as bait to fish for the many books in front of him.

When the Scholarly Fragrance bait came above the book person, only one book person jumped up and successfully ate the Scholarly Fragrance.

Memories flooded into his mind, and Lv Fang raised his eyebrows, murmuring: "Why is it this book? If I had known, I would have put more Scholarly Fragrance."

This book was the "Water Margin" of the four great classics of his past life.

The cultivation techniques and realms in the book didn't feel very strong. If possible, he really wanted to change to another book.

"Perhaps there will be an unexpected joy."

Lv Fang comforted himself.

Water Pavilion.

"The Lord Wenguan Hou finally finished writing *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*. I heard that starting tomorrow, he is preparing to write a new story."

Tong Wan'er finished reading today's Great Zhou Wen Bao and stretched her waist greatly, sighing: "We are going to interpret the characters of the elegant literature *Dream of the Red Chamber*. If the Lord Wenguan Hou knows, I don't know if he will meet with us."

Zhong Xin gave a bitter smile: "The Lord Wenguan Hou is a legendary figure of our Great Zhou; how could he meet people like you and me? I am quite curious whether his next story will still be elegant literature."

After a pause, she shook her head: "Even if the story the Lord Wenguan Hou writes next is not elegant literature, I still want to read it."

"I also want to read it."

Wang Huachu said with a smile.

Just at this moment.

The maid Huan'er ran over. She looked very anxious, running until she was out of breath, unable to say a word for a long time.

"What happened? So anxious?"

Wang Huachu patted Huan'er's back and asked in confusion.

Tong Wan'er and Zhong Xin also looked at Huan'er with curiosity. This Huan'er had a very steady temperament; how could she be like she had seen a ghost today? ===== CHAPTER 158 =====
