Chapter 34: Ma Linglu!
Time flew by, and the time for the handover had arrived.
Shengong Linfang had already given Fang Yuan storage bags to store the trees, so when Fang Yuan reached the restaurant, the items were already placed in bags.
His eyes fell on the middle-aged man who was sitting at the table where he and Shengong Linfang sat. The latter had already informed him of the features of the man who would take his place, so Fang Yuan immediately recognized the man.
The man was also aware of Fang Yuan's appearance, so he immediately stood up and greeted Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan replied with the same greetings, and at the same time, he felt envious. The man seemed even stronger than Shengong Linfang.
'When will I reach that level?' He couldn't help but think in his heart.
"Master, here are the items." The man didn't waste any time and took out a book and a card.
Fang Yuan nodded and then placed the several storage bags on the table, pushing them toward the man.
The man took the bags and immediately left after bowing. Shengong Linfang had warned him not to check the authenticity of the item in the bag in front of Fang Yuan to show his trust. The man did as the order said and left.
Fang Yuan didn't immediately leave as his eyes were struck to the book. Since it was a book, his family could also cultivate using it, which made him excited.
He had always wanted to give his parents and siblings a way better life, and this was the first return the Broken Pagoda had brought him. He couldn't help but feel grateful toward it, as if not for it, he would still be exercising in the house, hoping to get into any sect in the city.
***
Fang Yuan now had two cards in his hand since he had yet to cash in the previous card he received from Shengong Linfang. He decided to cash in both cards and do some shopping.
"Hey, you seem to be coming to this market daily."
A familiar voice rang in Fang Yuan's ears as he was about to leave the market. A smile spread across his face as he turned around and as expected, it was his friend, Li Haoping.
Beside him, there was a beautiful girl who was also curiously looking toward him.
Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart since looking at the girl's face, he could understand why there was so much conflict due to her.
"He is the friend I told you about," Li Haoping gently told his girlfriend, Ma Linglu.
"Come on, this is my girlfriend, Ma Linglu," He then looked toward Fang Yuan and the expression on his face completely changed to prideful.
"Hello, I am Fang Yuan. I am sorry that you have to touch this guy."
Fang Yuan ignored his friend and introduced himself. He didn't forget to mock Li Haoping, which resulted in Li Haoping whispering some good words in his ears.
"Sometimes, I also feel the same, but it is what it is."
Fang Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard Ma Linglu.
Li Haoping couldn't help but only grit his teeth as his best friend and girlfriend joined hands together to make fun of him.
"Hey, since I can only see you on my lucky days, let's go to a restaurant," Li Haoping interrupted the two parties and said.
Before Fang Yuan could refuse, he faced a glare from Li Haoping, leaving him no choice but to follow the two.
***
"Can he get to any good sect?" Li Haoping asked Ma Linglu.
Fang Yuan couldn't help but be surprised as he finally noticed that Ma Linglu's cultivation was the highest of the three and her body didn't seem weak as well.
"At his current condition, no, but his Qi and Blood are growing at a stable rate, so he has a good chance to get entry into the top three sects. As for major sects, no chance."
Fang Yuan became even more surprised when he heard Ma Linglu's serious tone.
"Yuan, don't you think my girlfriend is awesome?"
Li Haoping had a puppy look when he looked at Ma Linglu, but when he looked at Fang Yuan, that turned into pride, as if it was he who said all those things.
A red tint appeared on Ma Linglu's cheeks, and she couldn't help but smile shyly.
"I hope whatever you said turns out to be correct." Fang Yuan ignored his friend and said.
No one knew his situation better than him. He was aware that he was very far from reaching even the basic requirement to be eligible for the seven sects. He only hoped to get into any of the major sects in the city.
There were several sects in the city, but there were only five major sects.
What distinguished those five major sects from others was their complete knowledge of different cultivation arts such as formation, talisman, alchemy, weapon refining, planting, etc.
The top sect of the city was the Yellow Earth Sect, which had a third-level alchemist, meaning there was a suitable number of foundation building pills for the students. It was very dangerous for cultivators to reach the Foundation Building level without those pills, so these pills were the most famous item on the continent.
At the same time, the head of the sect was the direct descendant of a powerful elder in the Federation Council. The Yellow Earth Sect was Fang Yuan's goal for the entrance.
Fang Yuan became curious about Ma Linglu since the two had never met, but she still knew so much about his body. Since Ma Linglu or Li Haoping didn't say anything more, he kept those issues in mind only.
After a few minutes, Fang Yuan left since his gym time was approaching.
***
"Now that I have done what you wanted, you will have to leave with me."
Ma Linglu's face took a completely opposite turn when it was only her and Li Haoping left on the table.
