Chapter 239 Mandala Second Form
"I can't be bothered with you, spewing nothing but filth!"
"Uh, Brother Yu, don't do this!"
"Don't bother me, I'm a cultured person now, I don't want to babble nonsense with you." After saying that, Fang Yu directly blocked Chen Daotian on WeChat.
Anyway, it's not my turf, let Chen Daotian handle it himself. If there's a need, I'll add him back later.
Soon after, Fan Tong made a call.
Fang Yu couldn't help but be surprised; this guy's speed was as fast as ever.
"Hello, speak."
"Brother Yu, I've checked. So far, all the companies under the Zhao and Jin Families that collaborated with the Ye Group have collapsed overnight, no idea how that happened. In this period, indeed, many new companies have approached the Ye Family for partnerships, but none had frequent interactions, mostly small firms, not a significant force," Fan Tong said.
"Is the information reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable, back when our brothers were dominating Jiangzhou, the information provided by this buddy of mine has never been wrong," Fan Tong bragged.
On that point, he wasn't wrong.
Fang Yu had great respect for this friend from the past. It was said that Fan Tong's friend was a disabled person confined to a wheelchair for life, completely lacking physical strength. However, he was extremely proficient with computers; if it was online, there was no information he couldn't find.
At one point, Fang Yu almost recruited him into the Dark Web.
But considering he had joined the Dark Web not long ago and couldn't fully ensure the safety of those around him in terms of status, strength, and authority, he abandoned the idea.
"Got it."
He hung up.
Putting aside his thoughts, Fang Yu came near the balcony and sat down with his legs crossed.
The sun was setting.
Suddenly remembering the information Chen Daotian sent, he picked up his phone to browse—
"Blood-Melting Grass, said to grow in special soils, an ancestor of the Chen Family once claimed that such herbs, absorbing nature's spiritual energy, possess extraordinary effects. Blood-Melting Grass can eliminate the rejection of blood, an aspect that remains inexplicable in modern medicine; if used in treatment of internal injuries for Martial Artists, those with Inner Strength above the Sixth Layer Martial Arts can transfer their power to others through the Blood-Melting Grass, without any rejection!"
At this point, Fang Yu's brows slightly furrowed.
Originally, Jin Shifeng's abrupt leap from the Fourth Layer to the Sixth Layer was also due to this Blood-Melting Grass.
However...
Who would use such a method to pass on all their strength to someone else? After the transfer, the donor is certain to die.
The only benefit is that it allows elders of a family, close to death, to pass their skill to the next generation. This way, the strength of the family's Martial Artists would always remain at the apex.
But where to find this Blood-Melting Grass?
Fang Yu continued to read.
"As for the origins of Blood-Melting Grass, there is no definitive explanation so far, but an ancient text left by the ancestors of the Chen Family mentioned this, saying that only Purple Soil can cultivate Blood-Melting Grass."
Purple Soil?!
Such soil indeed exists in the Nine Provinces of Huaxia but is very scarce. As far as he remembers, Shu State in the Heavenly Country has plenty.
Could it be... the Blood-Melting Grass grows there?
Fang Yu knew it was merely speculation, but if he could find the Blood-Melting Grass, maybe Ye Wenjun's Martial Arts dilemma could be solved... cough cough, isn't such a thought slightly sinister? Old man Ye is advanced in age, yet it's not to the extent of wishing his death...
After finishing these materials, Fang Yu felt even more that the Black Wood Lotus might just grow in this unique environment, like the Blood-Melting Grass.
"Whatever, maybe I'll come across it in the future."
With this thought, Fang Yu took out two brocade boxes.
One to the left and one to the right.
He opened the boxes, and the familiar and strong scent of herbal medicine assaulted his senses.
Fang Yu had prepared himself psychologically, but was still stimulated by the smell, his Inner Essence beginning to churn.
Suddenly his eyes brightened with admiration:
"This thing is really miraculous, can't blame me for being stingy! Seems like love is also a kind of Spiritual Medicine for cultivation!"
After smelling the medicinal scent, suddenly feeling that the potency was still insufficient, he took half of the Black Wood Lotus, pinched off a portion, and put it into his mouth.
The first sensation was that it tastes awful.
Very dry, very astringent.
But quickly, a potent medicinal taste filled his whole mouth. The Inner Essence surged like a raging flood throughout his body.
The Black Wood Lotus instantly vanished, turning into powder and entering his stomach.
"What a strong medicinal effect!"
His Dantian suddenly expanded.
Fang Yu's face changed slightly.
He truly hadn't anticipated the medicinal effect to be this powerful.
He immediately started the breathing exercises, channeling his Inner Essence to consolidate his Realm.
Divine Dragon Technique Sixth Layer Heaven! After the breakthrough, he had not achieved substantial progress. He hoped, with the powerful Black Wood Lotus this time, he could gain an enhancement.
His Inner Essence circulated, furiously fast!
"I never imagined that the Black Wood Lotus would have such a high compatibility with Inner Essence!"
"Could it be that this thing was born for me?"
Fang Yu was extremely excited in his heart.
Without a second thought, he entered into the state of cultivation.
Guard the Dantian, fortify the foundation and cultivate the source.
The Inner Essence circulates through the microcosmic orbit.
Breathing in and out, moving in cycles.
At the same time, following the Divine Dragon Technique's method of cultivation, Inner Essence began to assault the Dantian. The Dantian of the Divine Dragon Technique's Sixth Layer is extremely resilient. But under the assault of even stronger Inner Essence, it began to loosen!
Of course…
This is different from the Dantian being damaged!
This is expansion, enhancing the capacity of the Dantian, enlarging the Inner Essence.
The more Inner Essence, the stronger the strength!
Buzz. Buzzing...
Fang Yu tightly closed his eyes, allowing the Inner Essence to assault the Dantian.
Soon, his entire body floated off the ground.
Suspended mid-air.
...
Half an hour passed.
One hour passed.
...
Two hours passed.
While Fang Yu was in a state of self-forgetful cultivation, the Inner Essence suddenly stopped its assault.
But the powerful medicinal effect was still striking at the Dantian.
This made him sweat profusely.
"Holy shit, the medicinal effect is so fierce, the remaining Inner Essence can't be consumed!"
"I can't possibly tear down the Ye Family's place!"
Fang Yu wished he could spar with various experts to vent his Inner Essence. Unfortunately, there were none.
Just as Fang Yu was worried—
The Mandala on his chest bloomed with dazzling brilliance.
The excess Inner Essence erupted from within his body, forming golden lines one after another, entering into the Mandala.
The petals bloomed.
One petal became two, two petals became four.
In order to control his Inner Essence, Fang Yu had to focus his mind and missed witnessing this splendid moment.
Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to all things, all things carry yin and embrace yang, harmonizing Qi to achieve balance!
Whoosh!
The excess Inner Essence disappeared in an instant!
Thump!
Fang Yu fell to the ground!
Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
He suddenly opened his eyes, the Black Wood Lotus was still there… everything was still there.
"What exactly happened?" Fang Yu muttered to himself, as if it had been a dream.
His gaze involuntarily fell upon the Mandala Flower.
The Mandala had been with him since his youth, never leaving his side. Any minor changes in it, Fang Yu could feel personally.
He placed the Mandala petals in the palm of his hand.
Closely examining.
"Huh? There's an extra button!"
Fang Yu couldn't help but furrow his brows, this was the first time such a change occurred in the Mandala, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
Even when dealing with the Lu Family, he did not feel this kind of tension.
The change in the Mandala Flower, however, brought him this sudden and unsettling anxiety.
Fang Yu gently pressed it—
Zoom!
A flash of golden light!
