Finally... it lit up!
Fang Yu let out a long breath; by now, the sun was setting in the west.
However, being able to achieve proficiency in just one afternoon was still quite successful.
Next, it’s time to allocate some points.
[Attribute Points: 85→78.]
[Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu [Not Entered] → Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu [Tree-Level Initial Stage/Initial Understanding].]
His whole body trembled, and Fang Yu had completely mastered how to use the Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu.
This is the charm of point allocation, in less than a second, going from not understanding how it works to fully mastering it from start to finish, all in one go.
[Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu], to execute it, you first need to control the blood flow within the body to condense into viscous blood bags.
These blood bags almost squeeze the body into a distorted shape, swelling up.
Finally, accompanied by a loud blood burst, a strong kinetic energy is formed, quickly allowing the body to escape.
In the process of escape, a series of blood-red shadows are left along the path.
Each red shadow represents a blood bag that previously bulged from the body.
Like the roots of a tree buried a thousand miles underground, at certain nodes, they continue to supply energy to the main body.
Once all the shadows are fully consumed, the process of [Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu] ends.
It sounds good, but the currently just-cultivated [Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu] can only condense three blood bags, which means three shadows.
What three blood bags can achieve, Fang Yu also doesn’t know.
But thinking about it, it’s definitely more fierce than simply accumulating Bone Armor, demonizing, and then running away.
After all, it’s a one-time explosive speed, directly moving across an ultra-long distance.
Although there’s currently no opportunity to use it, Fang Yu still decided to level it up a few more times.
[Attribute Points: 78→34.]
[Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu [Tree-Level Initial Stage/Initial Understanding] → Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu [Tree-Level Middle Stage/Initial Understanding].]
With one breath, it was elevated to the Tree-Level Middle Stage, and the number of blood bags it could produce increased from three to ten.
This time, it should be safe, right?
If going outside on a mission, if in doubt, we’ll just run!
The sense of security has improved a lot.
Looking at the remaining attribute points, Fang Yu turned his gaze to another cultivation technique.
[Attribute Points: 34→18.]
[Primordial White Shadow Leg [Tree-Level Initial Stage/Perfect Transformation] → Primordial White Shadow Leg [Tree-Level Middle Stage/Initial Understanding].]
Very good, with one breath, he has three [Tree-Level Middle Stage] cultivation techniques; with three more, he can break through the realm.
[Attribute Points: 18→4.]
[Primordial Heart Guard Bone [Tree-Level Initial Stage/Initial Understanding] → Primordial Heart Guard Bone [Tree-Level Initial Stage/Gradually Entering the Best State].]
After consuming all his attribute points, Fang Yu ended his cultivation and opened his eyes.
His strength has increased significantly again, though attribute points are still insufficient.
Fang Yu plans to go to the demon faction’s side to see if there are any rewards coming down.
As he prepared to leave his residence, a servant came to report.
"Master, Vice Captain Dong Xingzhou requests an audience."
Other people, Fang Yu would refuse outright, not seeing them at all.
But for some acquaintances, Fang Yu would still have a servant come and report it, then decide whether or not to see them.
Dong Xingzhou just happened to be in this subtle category.
After thinking for a while, Fang Yu spoke.
"Let him in."
The servant retreated, and before long, Dong Xingzhou arrived.
"Captain Diao."
Dong Xingzhou seemed quite accustomed to using this title, showing no sense of inappropriateness.
"Vice Captain Dong, there’s no need for such formalities between us."
Dong Xingzhou smiled.
He has interacted with Fang Yu, but it’s only interactions, lacking deep friendship. This degree of familiarity is completely within his acceptable range.
"Captain Diao, Wu Hall Master’s current situation is unclear, and the task he gave me at the time—I don’t know if I should continue with it?"
Dong Xingzhou’s task?
Fang Yu thought carefully and vaguely recalled.
Previously, when processing documents, it seemed he had seen Dong Xingzhou’s documents.
But frankly, with so many documents, Fang Yu mostly just skimmed through them without looking carefully and made no effort to remember the contents.
If it weren’t for seeing the name Dong Xingzhou, he wouldn’t have even noticed the contents on the documents.
Now, after thinking about it, Fang Yu remembered.
"Is it about the mission of Qiong Xiaolou?"
Dong Xingzhou nodded.
"Yes. On the surface, the task was just to investigate the whereabouts of Qiong Xiaolou. But Wu Hall Master actually wanted me to investigate all those associated with the [Artifact - Ink Pen]. Qiong Xiaolou was merely a lead."
"Previously, in the brothel, I told you not to take action because I was afraid you’d alert the enemy. However, things didn’t go as planned. According to my investigation, Miss Qian Qian, along with Qiong Xiaolou, left Tianyuan Town. Although it was discovered that Miss Qian Qian is indeed the high-ranking member [Eastern Gate Orchid] of the Bonfire Gathering, she couldn’t be captured."
Dong Xingzhou expressed regret.
Seeing Dong Xingzhou’s combat strength of 3000 blood, it’s estimated that if they really caught Eastern Gate Orchid, Eastern Gate Orchid wouldn’t stand a chance.
"So... what is Vice Captain Dong’s current plan?"
"Isn’t that why I’m here to consult with Captain Diao? Should I continue the investigation, or should I be assigned another task?"
After pausing, Dong Xingzhou said: "If I continue investigating, I have some leads. I should be able to track down the direction they fled and where they plan to go."
It seems Dong Xingzhou is closely pursuing this task and firmly on their trail.
Although the others have already left Tianyuan Town, they are still tightly locked by Dong Xingzhou, ready to find the target at any time.
