In Fang Lin’s courtyard, Dugu Nian looked at him with a face full of resentment and dissatisfaction, gripping a wooden sword in her hand.

“Come on, continue practicing with me.” Fang Lin ignored Dugu Nian’s resentful gaze and urged her on.

Dugu Nian felt helpless, as Fang Lin advanced with his sword, performing a series of sixteen nameless sword techniques.

Dugu Nian hardly had any strength to fend him off, even though Fang Lin hadn’t used any of his inner strength.

Dugu Nian took several strikes and, in a fit of anger, tossed her wooden sword onto the ground.

“I won’t practice anymore! You’re simply bullying me!” Dugu Nian protested angrily.

Fang Lin grinned at her and said, “Just practice with me for a little longer. Your master only has this one request, can’t you fulfill it?”

Dugu Nian was so agitated that she clenched her teeth. Ever since Fang Lin had passed on the Shaking Three Mountains technique to her, he paraded himself as her master.

Even though Dugu Nian was reluctant to address Fang Lin as master, technically, Fang Lin was indeed her master.

“What kind of master are you? All you do is bully me. If I had a master like you, I probably wouldn’t be able to live for much longer,” Dugu Nian retorted.

Fang Lin laid down his wooden sword and said solemnly, “Disciple, how can you speak to your teacher like this? Don’t be resentful. Once I teach you more Alchemy Tao techniques in the future, you’ll understand the effort I’m putting in today.”

Dugu Nian didn’t even spare Fang Lin a glance, planting her bottom on the ground, determined not to practice sword fighting with him anymore.

Seeing Dugu Nian’s defiance, Fang Lin sighed and muttered, “Why did I take on such a useless disciple?”

Dugu Nian: ‘

Fang Lin had mastered the Nameless Sword Manual given by Qing Jianzi in just two days. He had even memorized it by heart.

After all, these sixteen nameless sword moves were very refined. They were easy to remember but required a long time to master.

Even if Fang Lin had exceptional talent, he was currently unable to perform these moves as fluidly as flowing water.

Dugu Nian had suffered much over these two days. She had been compelled to practice sword fighting with Fang Lin and had been trampled over for two whole days.

Even if they were using wooden swords, even if Fang Lin wasn’t using his inner strength while practicing, Dugu Nian was still tortured relentlessly by him.

She, the jewel of the Dugu family, was being used as a target for Fang Lin’s sword practice. If the people from the Dugu family found out about this, they would probably come charging in anger.

“Tomorrow I’ll be leaving Pill Sect with Ouyang, and I’ll be gone for several days. You stay here and watch over the house,” Fang Lin instructed Dugu Nian with a glance.

Dugu Nian huffed and said, “No way, why should you go out and sightsee, leaving me to guard this broken house? I want to go too!”

Fang Lin glared at her, “What would you do there? Just cause trouble for me?”

Dugu Nian pouted, “Isn’t it just going to the Pill Alliance? I’m not unfamiliar with it. When we were in Xuan Country, I visited the Pill Alliance frequently.”

Fang Lin stated decisively, “Anyway, you can’t follow me this time. If you don’t want to stay here, then go somewhere you should be.”

At those words, Dugu Nian immediately understood; he was trying to get rid of her again.

“No way! I’m going with you!” Dugu Nian showed her stubborn side.

Fang Lin stared at Dugu Nian, patted his Nine Palace Bag and pulled out a black rope.

Seeing Fang Lin pull out a rope, Dugu Nian recoiled in fear, saying anxiously,

“What are you trying to do? I warn you, if you dare to tie me up, I’ll tell Uncle Six and ask him to tear you to pieces!”

At her words, Fang Lin hesitated and started to feel a headache coming on.

Now, Fang Lin couldn’t tie Dugu Nian up and hang her on a tree like he did before. If he dared to do that, the people from the Dugu family would undoubtedly kill him this time.

Seeing Fang Lin’s stunned expression, Dugu Nian seemed very triumphant and gave a smug hum.

Fang Lin silently put away the rope and said, “You can follow me if you want, but don’t cause me trouble.”

Dugu Nian nodded vigorously, readily agreeing.

But looking at Dugu Nian’s demeanor, Fang Lin couldn’t help feeling that agreeing to take her to the Pill Alliance was somewhat unreliable.

The next day, Ouyang Jing arrived early in the morning.

Ouyang Jing’s gaze changed when he saw Fang Lin and Dugu Nian under the same roof.

When Ouyang Jing learned that Dugu Nian would also be accompanying them on this journey, he was neither surprised nor opposed to it.

Leaving Pill Sect was not something one could simply do. Any official disciple wishing to leave for a task had to receive approval from three elders and obtain a mandate before they could depart.

Otherwise, without the mandate, they would be stopped at the gate.

Since Ouyang Jing held a position in the Pill Alliance and was even a half-member of it, he could come and go freely without being restrained by Pill Sect’s rules.

As for Dugu Nian, who was not a member of Pill Sect, she had even greater freedom.

But for Fang Lin, because of his identity, if he wanted to leave Pill Sect, he still needed to obtain the agreement of at least three elders. Then, these three elders would accompany him to obtain a mandate from Gu Daofeng.

Finding three elders was easy. One was Meng Wuyou and another was Mu Yan. After some consideration, Fang Lin felt he should find another elder with more influence, so he sought out Yan Zhengfeng.

All three elders agreed and then accompanied Fang Lin to meet Gu Daofeng.

The mandate quickly came into Fang Lin’s hands. Gu Daofeng did not give Fang Lin any trouble on this matter. After all, even Yan Zhengfeng had intervened. If he still refused, it would be hard to justify.

With the mandate in hand, without any delays, the trio quickly left Pill Sect.

Their destination was the capital of Qian Country, home to the largest Pill Alliance branch in the nation.

The journey was long, but tranquil.

After ten days of almost non-stop traveling, they arrived in Qian Capital.

As the capital of Qian Country, it was majestic, sprawling, and incredibly prosperous. It was also the seat of the most powerful force in Qian Country the Daqian royal family.

It could be said that Qian Capital was the most awe-inspiring place in the whole of Qian Country. Even if masters from other nations arrived, they absolutely would not dare to act recklessly in Qian Capital.

In the vast Qian Capital, there were diverse people from all sides. It was a complex mix of people.

It has been said that the number of powerful individuals hidden within Qian Capital is equivalent to half of the number of powerful individuals in all of Qian Country.

This proves the sheer number of formidable individuals lurking in Qian Capital.

Fang Lin and his companions entered Qian Capital without any hindrance. As it was already late, they didn’t rush to the Pill Alliance. Seizing this rare opportunity to leave Pill Sect, Ouyang Jing led Fang Lin and Dugu Nian to enjoy a tour around Qian Capital.

Both Fang Lin and Dugu Nian, being eager tourists, enjoyed themselves immensely in Qian Capital under Ouyang Jing’s guidance..
