Chapter 31

"The reward is actually this!"

Lv Fang's eyes lit up; he lay on his desk, closed his eyes, and silently recited "Grand Void Illusion" three times!

In a daze, he arrived at the Ink Brush Realm.

This time, the Ink Brush Realm was different from usual; opposite the seven-colored ink stroke, there was an additional diamond-shaped mirror surface.

It was about seven feet tall, and the edges of the diamond shape seemed to be embedded in space, resulting in irregular jagged edges.

Walking closer to look, the white-glowing mirror surface was covered with a layer of frost.

Lv Fang reached out to wipe it, and the "frost water" dripping from the mirror surface fell onto the ink ground, giving birth to ink-colored branches and leaves, with an ink-colored flower bud at the top.

Grand Void Illusion: Ink-Colored Flower.

Where there is a Grand Void Illusion, there are Ink-Colored Flowers.

Use ten strands of Book Fragrance to irrigate the Ink-Colored flower bud, and it can bloom into an Ink-Colored Flower, obtaining a supernatural power that enhances Lv Fang, the master of the Ink Brush Realm.

Lv Fang touched the two Ink-Colored flower buds, and information about the buds immediately appeared in his mind.

Ink-Colored Flower: Body Condensation

Once this flower is irrigated by Book Fragrance and blooms, the Book Spirit Yan Chixia of Lv Fang, the master of the Ink Brush Realm, will obtain a body formed by the Ink-Colored flower branches, no different from a human of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ink-Colored Flower: Peach Blossom Shadow

Once this flower is irrigated by Book Fragrance and blooms, the supernatural power "Flower Burial Chant" of Lv Fang, the master of the Ink Brush Realm, can allow the caster to hide in the peach blossom shadow to achieve a one-hit kill effect.

"This is too strong."

Lv Fang couldn't help but laugh.

Except for the somewhat harsh requirement that Ink-Colored Flowers can only bloom after being irrigated with ten strands of Book Fragrance, they are very strong in all other aspects.

For example, these Ink-Colored Flowers are not just these two.

In the future, whenever Lv Fang obtains a supernatural power, there will be an additional Ink-Colored Flower to enhance that ability.

The best part is, for example, Ink-Colored Flower: Body Condensation can give the Book Spirit Yan Chixia a body no different from a human; after the first blooming, a new Ink-Colored Flower will grow, and its function will be an enhancement in another aspect.

"Ten strands of Book Fragrance to bloom an Ink-Colored Flower once?"

As soon as Lv Fang thought of this, his full-blooded enthusiasm was extinguished by a basin of cold water.

"Dream of the Red Chamber" is so popular in the capital, and he only has thirteen strands of Book Fragrance now; he can only irrigate the Ink-Colored Flower to bloom once.

It seems he needs to launch a "Literary Gazette" to popularize it throughout the Great Zhou.

Currently, the "Literary Gazette" is only distributed in large quantities in the capital; if he could popularize the "Literary Gazette" throughout the Great Zhou, he would undoubtedly obtain more Book Fragrance.

"Grand Void Illusion."

Lv Fang looked at the white-glowing mirror surface; the four mist-like characters "Grand Void Illusion" condensed above the mirror surface and did not dissipate. The mirror did not reflect his figure, but a cave entrance.

Reaching out to touch it, he entered the mid-air of the Grand Void Illusion.

There was no physical body, only a form of consciousness.

After digesting the information about the Grand Void Illusion in his mind, Lv Fang lost his previous panic and focused his gaze on the "Grand Void Mountain" in front of him.

This towering mountain went straight into the clouds; the mountain body was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with a rock platform every hundred feet, divided into nine levels in total.

The Grand Void Illusion is a blessed land; as long as one reads the elegant literature written by Lv Fang and obtains Book Fragrance, they can enter the first level of "Grand Void Mountain."

Reading and writing elegant literature of the Ink Brush Realm here can obtain more Book Fragrance, and it is also easier to obtain the supernatural powers within the elegant literature.

And those on the first level of Grand Void Mountain, once their Book Fragrance reaches a certain amount, can use a ladder condensed from Book Fragrance to climb to the second-level platform.

The higher the platform on Grand Void Mountain, the relatively easier it is to obtain Book Fragrance and supernatural powers.

"It's a pity I can't enter Grand Void Mountain."

Lv Fang shook his head with a bitter smile.

In fact, even if he couldn't enter and climb Grand Void Mountain, this blessed land allowing more people to obtain more Book Fragrance and supernatural powers would ultimately benefit him.

After all, as long as others have more Book Fragrance and supernatural powers, he can obtain the same.

Lv Fang exited the Grand Void Illusion and returned to the Ink Brush Realm; "Dream of the Red Chamber" had been finished, which also meant he could obtain his third book.

Whether it was "Liaozhai Zhiyi: Nie Xiaoqian" or "Dream of the Red Chamber."

I don't know if it's because his luck is good enough or what, but the rewards given by the books and the realms within them are clearly much higher than his own realm.

He was still looking forward to the third book.

With a thought from Lv Fang, the ink-colored bamboo pole appeared in his hand; after thinking for a moment, he decided to use a strand of Book Fragrance as bait.

Last time, the Book Fragrance for fishing "Dream of the Red Chamber" wasn't even a full strand.

Obtaining Book Fragrance is not that easy; in early November, he might have to go to a dangerous place like the Lower Upper Realm, so he needs to keep a portion just in case.

A strand of Book Fragrance is already quite a lot.

Lv Fang rolled the one-foot-long Book Fragrance, which was wrapped in eighteen threads, into a larger ball, hung it on the ink hook, and then threw the ink pole out.

Just like last time, as soon as the Book Fragrance bait appeared, three book characters jumped onto it.

What was different from last time was that one of the book characters punched and kicked, kicking the other two books away, and enjoyed the Book Fragrance bait all by itself.

Lv Fang was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

This is allowed?

In the past, he only knew that "money can make ghosts push millstones"; now he knew that when there is a lot of Book Fragrance, book characters can also play dirty and "ambush."

After the book character finished eating the Book Fragrance, the content of the book immediately appeared in Lv Fang's mind.

Lv Fang came out of the Ink Brush Realm, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a big flat face appearing in front of him; he frowned and said:

"Why are you getting so close while I'm sleeping?"

He Zixuan didn't care and said with a cheeky smile: "The quota for entering the Seventh-Rank Lower Upper Realm that you asked me to help you get last time, I've gotten it."

"This matter was brought up by my father and His Majesty. His Majesty has a prerequisite: you can enter the Seventh-Rank Lower Upper Realm, but you need to defeat me first."

"Defeat you?" Lv Fang had an expression of "Did I hear that right?"

He is Eighth-Rank, First Stage, and He Zixuan is Seventh-Rank, Third Stage; doesn't His Majesty's meaning imply that he shouldn't be allowed to enter the Lower Upper Realm?

He Zixuan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly:

"His Majesty said it himself, I'm not allowed to intentionally let you win. Actually, not letting you go to the Lower Upper Realm is for your own good. Not to mention the threat of the barbarian and demon races, even the Xiao family might pose a life threat to you..."

"The Xiao family?"

Lv Fang raised his eyebrows slightly.

He Zixuan's father is the Prime Minister He Fan, so he naturally knows more than others; he smiled bitterly: "The three Semi-Sages of the Xiao family did promise not to make things difficult for you, but Xiao Yunru will not let you go."

Lv Fang said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yunru?"

He Zixuan sat on the chair next to him and said:

"Xiao Yunru is the eldest son of the Minister of Justice Xiao Qi. He was previously out investigating the mountain spirits and wild monsters that colluded with the demon race to assassinate the prophecy-bearers, and now he has returned. He will definitely enter the Lower Upper Realm."

"Not only is this person's talent for Confucian cultivation very powerful, but he was also born with an unusual appearance; a pair of 'male and female' eyes can predict danger and opportunities."

"Xiao Yunru was already Seventh-Rank, Third Stage three years ago. In order to make a splash in this Seventh-Rank Lower Upper Realm, he used a secret method to deliberately suppress his cultivation and not advance his realm."

"You killed his younger brother Xiao Jinchen and also had his father written in the History of Time as a slanderer. Do you think he will let you go when he enters the Lower Upper Realm?"

"Xiao Yunru is recognized as the number one Seventh-Rank, Third Stage person in the Great Zhou."

Lv Fang sneered: "If the three Semi-Sages of the Xiao family promised, is it just like passing gas?"

He wasn't afraid of Xiao Yunru, but he felt extremely unhappy in his heart. Thinking carefully about the pros and cons, perhaps his respected senior fellow apprentice was really being played by the Xiao family.

He Zixuan smiled bitterly: "Hey, Old Su is upright and honest, his whole heart is for the country and the people; he doesn't have as many tricks as the Xiao family, otherwise he wouldn't still be just a hall lecturer at forty."
