Volume 1 Chapter 9: White Delivered Door God, Dispersed Magical Powers

  After handing over the two-grade short sword to Huoyun Hall, Kong Fang's heart finally relaxed completely. If a second-grade weapon couldn't even allow him to enter the inner hall and become an honorable inner disciple, then he might as well go smash his head against a rock.

  As in previous years, some disciples who refined four-grade weapons might have a chance to enter the inner hall, let alone this person who refined a two-grade weapon.

  However, based on memory and observation over the past two days, Kong Fang also discovered a rather strange point. Among the entry-level disciples, many people unexpectedly obtained some relatively good equipment materials. If there are people with higher equipment levels among them, it's possible that they can actually refine three-star or even two-star weapons.

  Of course, even if others refine a second-grade weapon, Kong Fang would not have any worries. Although the sect master doesn't care about new disciples, as long as they can refine good weapons, the sect master won't bother with what materials are used. Because in the eyes of the sect master, being able to obtain good refining materials is also a skill.

  But if the two disciples' weapons were to be evaluated, Master Zhang would definitely choose the one made from ordinary materials, as this already showed that the disciple possessed an extraordinary talent for crafting.

  Kong Fang left the mountain peak where Huo Yundang was and quickly walked towards his own broken wooden hut.

  Halfway through, Kong Fang had the feeling of being stared at again. He knew it was definitely someone sent by Zhao Yong. Kong Fang was extremely angry and resentful about this, but he pretended not to notice and continued on his way.

  "I may have condensed my divine soul and possess a keen sense of awareness, but it's only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. My actual strength hasn't increased much, and I'm not yet ready to go head-to-head with Zhao Yong and the others. However, it won't take long now that my divine soul has taken shape, and I'll soon be able to cultivate my magical powers. When that time comes, I'll make them pay back what they owe me, with interest! Kong Fang's belongings aren't something that can be easily snatched away, and as for my life... it's not something that just anyone can take from me!" Kong Fang's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, his killing intent palpable.

  Zhao Yong thought he had everything under control, so he wanted to get rid of Kong Fang once and for all, in case Kong Fang became a threat to him as an inner disciple one day. But what Zhao Yong didn't know was that it wouldn't be long before Kong Fang would become an inner disciple, just a few days from now.

  He doesn't have absolute power yet, so Kong Fang decided to temporarily avoid him and wait until he cultivates his magical powers before settling the score with Zhao Yong and others.

  Kong Fang didn't notice Qian Ziguo following closely behind him and returned to his residence very calmly, as if no one was following him.

  Kong Fang's wooden house was built in the mountain valley, and as long as you didn't get close, it was hard to see what was going on inside. However, in order not to let Zhao Yong and others notice anything unusual and become vigilant, Kong Fang moved the wooden bed board to the corner of the wooden house, so that when he was cultivating, outsiders couldn't discover him.

  Soon, Kong Fang sank into his cultivation.

  However, Kong Fang also retained a bit of perception towards the outside world, lest Zhao Yong and others dare to take action against him within the sect.

  Night fell, and Kong Fang, who was in the midst of his cultivation, didn't feel the passage of time at all. However, Qian Ziguang, who was keeping watch not far from the house, grew anxious, scratching his ears and cheeks, feeling stifled and unable to calm down.

  "What the hell is Kong Fang doing, all the refining materials have been destroyed, he wants to pass the assessment but it's impossible, at this time he should think of a way to escape, but how did he enter that broken wooden house and there was no movement at all." Qian Ziguo cursed angrily.

  Staring at someone is not a good thing, and just one day of it is already unbearable.

  Qian Ziguo had heard that many people's alchemy materials were destroyed in the Huoyun Hall's alchemy area, and even Sun Hao, an inner disciple of the sect, did not escape this disaster. This made Qian Ziguo firmly believe that Kong Fang's alchemy materials must have been destroyed more thoroughly. Upon receiving this news, Qian Ziguo was extremely excited because this meant that Kong Fang would definitely try to escape, and if he could take advantage of the situation to get rid of Kong Fang, his status in Zhao Yong's eyes would be greatly elevated.

  But who would have thought that after Kung Fang entered the wooden house, there was no more movement, which made Ch'ien Tzu-yu puzzled and finally turned into anger. He stood outside the wooden house under the stars, suffering bitterly, while that damned Kung Fang might be sleeping soundly, how could the proud Ch'ien Tzu-yu accept this?

  "Damn it, I really want to rush in at this moment and get rid of this scourge directly." A sudden thought emerged in Qian Ziguo's mind.

  However, Qian Ziguo immediately shuddered deeply. In the world of assassins, once he was discovered, he would be dead meat. To risk his own life for a mere Kong Fang, Qian Ziguo apparently thought it wasn't worth it.

  "Damn you, Kong Fang. I'll make sure to keep an eye on you and make your life a living hell. You'd better pray that you never leave the temple grounds, or else I won't let you die easily." Qian Ziguo seethed in anger.

  By midnight, Zhao Yong's another follower Wang Guang came to Qian Ziguo.

  "You can go back now, I'll keep an eye on him." Wang Hao said with a look of excitement.

  During the day, he reacted a bit slower than Qian Ziguo, allowing Qian Ziguo to take the lead. Zhao Yong's attitude towards Qian Ziguo was clearly very satisfactory. This made Wang Hao feel a sense of urgency in his heart, fearing that Qian Ziguo would solidify his position as the first follower. However, fortunately, nothing happened during the day, and now it was time for him to perform.

  Qian Ziguo didn't move, knowing that the materials for Kong Fang's refining equipment had been destroyed. At this time, he couldn't leave, otherwise all the credit would go to Wang Huan. However, if he didn't leave, he must tell what happened during the day, otherwise it would be hard to explain to Zhao Yong.

  After some thought, Qian Ziguo said with a hint of hatred: "When we were refining equipment in Huoyun Hall, Kong Fang's refining materials were completely destroyed by the earth fire. I suspect that he may have a great chance to escape tonight, so it's better for us two to keep an eye on him together."

  When he heard this, Wang Hao's heart suddenly felt a surge of joy, but then he learned that Qian Ziguo was unwilling to leave, which made Wang Hao feel somewhat dissatisfied. In Wang Hao's view, the weak and small Kong Fang could be handled by himself alone, so naturally he didn't want others to take his credit. However, now he also didn't have a good excuse to make Qian Ziguo leave, after all, Zhao Yong only cared about Kong Fang's death, not how many people took action. On the contrary, having one more person would increase the chances of success, and Zhao Yong naturally preferred this.

  Thus, the two people with ulterior motives stood guard not far from the wooden house, their eyes wide open and staring intently at the house, afraid of missing the opportunity to make a name for themselves. They stood watch for an entire night, and by dawn, their eyes were bloodshot, still staring at the house as if they had an irreconcilable hatred for it, but with a somewhat dull gaze.

  It was clear that both of them were exhausted tonight.

  What made it even more unbearable for the two was that Kong Fang didn't make a single move all night, which made them firmly believe that Kong Fang had really slept through the night, while they stood like two fools, serving as his door gods.

  In the wooden house, Kong Fang's expression suddenly tightened, and his eyes snapped open. After a night of diligent cultivation, some magical powers finally appeared in his dantian.

  Just then, Kong Fang suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

  "I haven't become an inner disciple yet, if I had the power of law it would be easy for the elder to see through me, and at that time even the soul refining method in the Purple Mansion would be exposed. It seems that I still have to endure for a few more days." Kong Fang felt a little regretful, but in order not to expose his biggest secret, Kong Fang had no choice but to manipulate the thin law power that had just formed in his dantian to disperse.

  The aura escaped from his body and limbs, and suddenly, Kong Fang's eyes lit up.

  "This, it seems that when the law is dissipated, it actually has the effect of refining the body." Kong Fang, who was just a little disappointed, immediately became excited again.

  "Although the body only absorbed a small amount of spiritual energy, the effect of tempering was not insignificant. I could clearly feel my body getting stronger and my power growing. Haha, well, since I couldn't let spiritual energy appear in my dantian for these few days, I'll use spiritual energy to temper my body instead. As long as I have a strong body, I still have the opportunity to take care of Zhao Yong." Without any more worries, Kong Fang started cultivating again with renewed enthusiasm.
