I Can Strengthen Everything

’I really don’t know how this guy cultivates...’

Nangong Qing was filled with emotion.

His initial estimate was that Fang Xing might reach the True Gang Realm in ten years.

But now, he felt that reaching the True Essence Realm within ten years wouldn’t be a problem.

This terrifying rate of improvement was top-tier, even looking across the entire Great Jing.

In just one or two years, he had climbed to such a level of cultivation.

And what was even more frightening was Fang Xing’s strength.

His power was completely beyond imagination.

He could fight and kill existences at the True Gang Perfection level.

Such Demon-level existences were exceedingly rare, apart from the top few on the Hidden Dragon List.

Peerless in both Martial Arts and cultivation.

’If he were in Jiang Province, I’m afraid my position as Marshal wouldn’t be enough to satisfy him.’

After all, the current Fang Xing could be considered his "superior."

A Demon Suppression Envoy of a province was second only to the Commander level.

He had to admit that by following Hong Miaojin, Fang Xing indeed had a much brighter future.

"When did you get to Celestial Star Island?" Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Nangong Qing asked.

"I arrived less than two days ago."

"Did you come alone?"

Nangong Qing inquired.

Fang Xing shook his head. "Not exactly. I came with Lord Hong."

"Together..." Nangong Qing blinked, then suddenly leaned in close.

"Do you and Hong Miaojin have some kind of special relationship?"

Fang Xing was speechless.

Seeing Nangong Qing’s curious, gossipy expression, Fang Xing’s heart couldn’t help but twitch.

He gave a helpless smile. "Uncle Qing, you’re overthinking it. Lord Hong is just grooming me for a better position."

Nangong Qing rolled his eyes. He was clearly skeptical of Fang Xing’s words.

"Qing—"

"Fang Xing!"

Just as he was about to speak, another voice called out.

The two of them looked over at the same time. A figure was striding quickly toward them and soon arrived.

It was none other than Shen Ye.

Looking at Shen Ye, Fang Xing could tell his cultivation level with a single glance.

Late Stage of the True Qi Realm, at the level of True Qi Eighth Layer.

’It’s not exactly fast, but it’s not bad either.’

"It really is you! When did you get here?" Shen Ye looked at Fang Xing, his face full of surprise.

"Not long ago, about two days. Brother Shen, long time no see." Fang Xing smiled and greeted him.

Shen Ye could be considered the one who had guided him onto his path.

It was Shen Ye who had led him from Qingshan County to the Observatory, setting him on a much broader stage.

He didn’t have many friends, but Shen Ye was definitely one of them.

Even though his cultivation had far surpassed his friend’s, he always cherished the bond they had formed back then.

"I didn’t expect to see you here! If I had known, we could have come together," Shen Ye said with a cheerful laugh.

"I came with Lord Hong. It was a bit of a surprise," Fang Xing said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Shen Ye subconsciously glanced around before looking back at Fang Xing. "Lord Hong isn’t with you?"

Fang Xing shook his head. "No, she had some matters to attend to."

"I see..." Shen Ye nodded. As he came back to his senses, his gaze fell upon Fang Xing and narrowed.

True Gang Fifth Layer!

"Sigh, the gap between us is getting wider and wider. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to catch up in this lifetime."

Shen Ye sighed.

Looking at Fang Xing, he felt as if he were in a trance.

The Qingshan Constable from back then had now grown to a level that Shen Ye could only look up to.

The roles had been reversed!

Ascending the Hidden Dragon List, serving as the Qing Province Demon Suppression Envoy, single-handedly slaying the Eight Great Demon Kings...

Each of these deeds was legendary. The gap between them now was an insurmountable chasm.

’This guy... there’s a good chance he’ll even achieve sainthood in the future...’

The thought flashed through Shen Ye’s mind.

"Meeting like this is fate. It’s still early, let’s go sit at a nearby teahouse," Fang Xing suggested.

Nangong Qing nodded, and Shen Ye didn’t refuse either. The three of them left the viewing platform and walked toward a teahouse not far away.

In a private room on the top floor of the teahouse, the three chatted while drinking tea.

From there, they could see the distant ocean view. The sea breeze was blowing, the sun was warm, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

The private rooms here weren’t enclosed, but rather the open-air type.

They chatted for well over an hour.

The three only dispersed after finishing their tea and having a meal.

Nangong Qing and Shen Ye were staying in the city.

It wasn’t too far away.

Fang Xing saw the two of them off before heading back to Celestial Star Manor.

Upon returning to Celestial Star Manor, not far from the courtyard gate, Fang Xing saw a figure.

’This woman is like a lingering ghost!’

Fang Xing’s brow furrowed. Seeing Lü Su appear at the courtyard gate, he felt a headache coming on.

’I can’t just fight her.’

’No matter what, she’s the daughter of the current Prime Minister, Lü Chunqiu, who is a titan of the Martial Dao in the Celestial Human Realm.’

"Fang Xing."

At the courtyard gate, Lü Su’s eyes lit up when she saw him. She hurried forward, a wave of fragrance wafting from her.

Fang Xing subconsciously took a step back. He looked at the Lü Su before him, his expression indifferent.

"Miss Lü, is there something I can help you with?"

"Fang Xing, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time! You... why are you treating me like this?"

Lü Su’s eyes were red as she spoke in a delicate voice. Her pitiful appearance was enough to make one’s heart ache for her.

But as for Fang Xing, he was immune to all of it.

The Charm Technique had no effect on him!

"Where did you go? I wanted to ask if I could treat you to a meal, is that okay?" Lü Su asked, looking at Fang Xing with her large, watery eyes.

Fang Xing’s expression remained completely unchanged. "I’m sorry, I’ve just eaten. If there’s nothing else, Miss Lü, please leave."

After speaking, Fang Xing stepped directly into the courtyard.

Lü Su was stunned for a moment, but she immediately reacted. "Stop right there!"

BANG!

However, Fang Xing didn’t even look back. He went straight into the house and shut the door.

"Bastard!"

Lü Su’s pretty face turned ashen. She clenched her delicate fists, her chest heaving violently.

"Fang Xing, get out here!"
