Though Xu Fang was somewhat dissatisfied with the Hair-Blowing Transformation, it was still a divine technique. Moreover, over the course of the past year, he had comprehended two such techniques, assisted by the One Hundred and Eight Transformations of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Demons. His cultivation had also risen to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Immortal realm, just a step away from becoming a True Immortal. Overall, this year of practice had yielded substantial gains.

  Just as Xu Fang ceased his training, Master Bodhi, who was lecturing in the Three Star Cave, felt Xu Fang's state clearly.

  Throughout the year, Master Bodhi had regarded Xu Fang as a treasured disciple, constantly monitoring his progress.

  Upon seeing that Xu Fang had comprehended two divine techniques, a subtle smile crossed his face.

  “Wu Fa, you have made a small achievement in the Primordial Art of Nine Grades. I am deeply gratified.”

  Although he was lecturing, it did not prevent Master Bodhi from communicating telepathically with Xu Fang.

  Hearing this voice, Xu Fang immediately stood up and replied respectfully towards the direction of the Three Star Cave, “It is all thanks to Master’s teachings that I have made such progress.”

  Master Bodhi nodded slightly, pleased with Xu Fang's humility and diligence.

  “Your junior brother, Sun Wukong, has also made considerable progress this past year and has touched upon the threshold of the Nine Grades. At the third watch tonight, call him here; I shall impart to both of you another method!”

  Originally, Sun Wukong was the most important disciple, but with Xu Fang's emergence, Master Bodhi's focus had completely shifted to him.

  Seeing Xu Fang's smooth progress, Master Bodhi felt a sense of satisfaction.

  Xu Fang, upon hearing this transmission, was filled with joy.

  A year had passed, and he could finally learn a new method!

  At that moment, outside Fangcun Mountain, a delicate voice suddenly rang out.

  “May I ask if Master Bodhi is present in this mountain? I am the little immortal Yang Chan from Mount Hua, sent here by my elder brother for guidance in cultivating skills and divine powers. I hope Master can spare some time to meet!”

  The voice was charming, filled with an ethereal aura.

  This call echoed throughout Fangcun Mountain, reaching not only Master Bodhi and his many disciples in the main hall, but even Xu Fang in the back mountain heard it clearly.

  “Yang Chan? The sister of Erlang Shen Yang Jian?”

  Xu Fang's brows furrowed slightly. Why would the Three Holy Mothers come to Fangcun Mountain to seek guidance?

  It was worth noting that this event was not mentioned at all in the original storyline.

  What was going on? Was this something that existed in the original text but was overlooked, or had time been distorted for some reason, prompting Yang Jian to guide his sister to Fangcun Mountain?

  While Xu Fang was puzzled, Master Bodhi's voice echoed in his ear: “Wu Fa, I am lecturing here; you should go outside and welcome Yang Chan in.”

  “Understood, I will go at once.”

  Xu Fang snapped back to reality, nodded, and strode toward the entrance of Fangcun Mountain.

  Outside Fangcun Mountain.

  A young woman in a greenish-blue long dress appeared, her demeanor elegant, with spiritual energy swirling around her—this was the Three Holy Mothers’ Yang Chan, come to seek guidance!

  “Also at the Heavenly Immortal level…”

  Xu Fang instantly saw through Yang Chan's cultivation and inwardly scoffed.

  As the well-known war god of the Three Realms, Yang Jian must have immense magical power, yet his sister Yang Chan was merely at the Heavenly Immortal level. She clearly did not enjoy cultivation.

  As Xu Fang had surmised, Yang Jian was indeed quite frustrated with his sister. Given his strength, teaching his sister to cultivate should be a piece of cake.

  However, Yang Chan had no interest in training; after thousands of years, she had only managed to reach the Heavenly Immortal realm. Frustrated, Yang Jian had no choice but to find someone else to teach his sister.

  His first choice, naturally, was his own master, the Jade Ding Zhenren!

  Unfortunately, after the conclusion of the Investiture of the Gods, the Jade Ding Zhenren returned to Kunlun Mountain to meditate and had withdrawn from worldly affairs, even refusing to see his own disciple, Yang Jian.

  Let alone teaching Yang Jian’s sister.

  As a prominent figure in the Three Realms, Yang Jian was privy to secrets unknown to others. Thus, he seized the opportunity of Master Bodhi’s presence at Fangcun Mountain to send his sister over.

  He thought that since he was soft-hearted toward his sister, it would be a good idea to have Master Bodhi take on the task of teaching her!

  After all, Master Bodhi owed him a favor from years ago; this would serve as a way to repay it.

  Regardless of whether his sister could successfully cultivate after returning from Fangcun Mountain, Yang Jian had resigned himself to the outcome!

  After all, his sister possessed the Lotus Lantern, and with him backing her, not many in the Three Realms would dare to provoke her.

  As Xu Fang pondered these thoughts, he approached Yang Chan and asked, “May I inquire if you are the Three Holy Mother from Mount Hua?”

  Yang Chan looked up and saw a handsome young man. She slightly nodded and said, “I am indeed Yang Chan. May I ask if this brother is sent by the master to welcome me?”

  Xu Fang nodded. “Master is waiting for you in the cave; please follow me.”

  With that, Xu Fang turned and led the way toward the Three Star Cave.

  Yang Chan, seeing Xu Fang walking ahead without waiting for her, hurriedly lifted her skirt and quickened her pace to catch up.

  In the Three Star Cave.

  Master Bodhi was still lecturing on the Dao, his celestial voice weaving a profound atmosphere that drew in all who listened.

  Xu Fang led Yang Chan inside, clasped his fists, and said, “Respectfully reporting to Master, I have brought Yang Chan as instructed.”

  As soon as he finished speaking, Master Bodhi halted his lecture and nodded slightly. “You may go and cultivate on your own; remember to nourish your spirit and energy.”

  His words were a reminder for Xu Fang not to forget that there would be significant events happening tonight, urging him to adjust his state accordingly!

  Xu Fang understood his master’s intention and bowed respectfully before stepping out of the cave.

  Yang Chan glanced curiously at Xu Fang. His previously stoic demeanor had captured her attention, and now, with Master Bodhi lecturing and many disciples present, this brother had chosen to leave!

  Moreover, from Master Bodhi’s words, it seemed he encouraged this brother to practice on his own!

  What was this brother's background?

  However, with Master Bodhi present, she had no time to ponder further. She immediately bowed respectfully, saying, “I am Yang Chan, paying my respects to the master. Under the guidance of my elder brother, I have come to seek teachings. I hope the master will accept me.”

  “Rise.”

  Master Bodhi gestured lightly, saying, “With your background, there is really no need for you to come here to seek guidance.”

  Yang Chan, being the sister of Erlang Shen Yang Jian, was rumored to have been a disciple of the goddess Nüwa in her early years. Now, arriving at the Daoist temple of a quasi-saint to seek teachings...

  Her elder brother must know something significant!
