I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 315: Chapter 147: Wiped Out in One Fell Swoop

The Demons and Monsters themselves were of little consequence to them. What truly shocked them was how terrifying Fang Xing was with a cultivation of only the True Gang First Layer.

If he were allowed to mature, he would surely become another rising titan of the Martial Dao.

To make it onto the Hidden Dragon List at such a young age... his chances of achieving sainthood in the future were great!

Seeing the four men fall silent, Hong Miaojin felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

"Gentlemen, the situation in Qing Province still requires your intervention. The Observatory has no place for idlers."

Hong Miaojin rose to her feet, her every word ringing clearly in their ears.

Hearing the warning in her tone, a chill went down the spines of the four Marshals. They rose in unison.

"We will certainly assist Your Excellency in governing Qing Province and maintaining its stability."

Hong Miaojin gave a slight nod. "Then I shall await your performance."

"Then get to it."

"Yes!"

The four Marshals replied in unison before stepping out of the grand hall.

As she watched their retreating figures, a glint flickered in Hong Miaojin’s eyes.

’Her goal, for now, has been achieved.’

’But it isn’t enough.’

’Control over a single county won’t make any real waves.’

’He worked hard this time. Mmm, I’ll let him rest for a while,’ Hong Miaojin thought to herself.

’Fang Xing is proving to be more and more useful.’

’He’s never disappointed me. He was reliable before, but now... he’s even more exceptional.’

’His cultivation is still too low, though.’

’But that will improve with time.’

’Governing Qing Province isn’t something that can be accomplished overnight.’

The initial results were achieved. This gave her more confidence for what was to come.

With time, day by day, the Observatory could be restored to its former glory, once again becoming the revered institution it was at its zenith.

...

"Two million!"

"They’re so generous!"

Stepping out of the Celestial Hall, Fang Xing looked at the Merit points on his waist token with extreme satisfaction.

This time, he had received a full two million Merit points as a reward.

’A huge score!’

’Of course, Hong Miaojin must have had a hand in this.’

With more Merit, he could exchange for more resources.

However, he had no immediate use for these two million Merit points.

The gains from this trip alone were enough to let him advance his strength once more.

Leaving the Celestial Hall, Fang Xing headed straight for the Demon Suppression Mansion.

"Welcome home, Master."

A maid bowed as he returned to the Demon Suppression Mansion. Fang Xing gave a slight nod and headed for the main hall.

He reached the main hall of the Demon Suppression Mansion, and a moment later, Hong Luan appeared.

"My Lord!"

Hong Luan bowed slightly.

Fang Xing looked at her. "Has anything happened at the mansion these past few days?"

Hong Luan shook her head. "My Lord, all has been well these past few days. However, Lord Wei paid a visit yesterday."

’Wei Qing...’

Fang Xing narrowed his eyes, his expression unreadable. "Why was Lord Wei here?"

Hong Luan lowered her head. "Lord Wei came to inquire about your whereabouts, My Lord."

"And how did you answer?" Fang Xing asked coolly.

Hong Luan bowed. "I answered truthfully, that I did not know your whereabouts."

Fang Xing looked at Hong Luan, using his Primordial Spirit Projection to confirm she wasn’t lying. He smiled faintly. "Mm. Very sensible of you."

As he spoke, Fang Xing tossed her a Storage Pouch.

Hong Luan caught the Storage Pouch and peeked inside. Seeing it contained over ten thousand gold, she gasped in surprise. "My Lord, what is this?"

"Manage the mansion’s expenses as you see fit. Take this money. I need to enter secluded cultivation for a while. I’ll be gone for a month at the minimum, perhaps two or three at the most," Fang Xing said.

"Se... secluded cultivation?"

Hong Luan was stunned for a moment but quickly recovered and nodded. "Very well, My Lord. I will take care of everything in the mansion."

"That’s all, then. If anything important happens, you may come find me in the training chamber," Fang Xing said as he stood up.

Hong Luan nodded.

Then, with a single step, Fang Xing vanished from her sight.

Watching him disappear, Hong Luan looked down at the Storage Pouch in her hand, her head bowed in thought.

「In a vast and spacious training chamber within the Demon Suppression Mansion.」

Fang Xing sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion.

With a thought, he summoned his status panel to view it.
