Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 333: Taking Over

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Ah... Is it completed?"

He Qing was stunned. He had only just asked for assistance moments ago. All Fang Yuan did was close his eyes for a few moments before telling He Qing that everything was done and that he could directly visit the Three Suns Sect once more.

’Is he trying to trick me?’

He Qing was speechless. Seeing how awe-inspiring Fang Yuan was as he waved his hands, He Qing did not dare to utter a single word as he walked out, confused.

Thoughts ran wild in his mind. In a few moments, he came to a conclusion. "Regardless, I must try a few more times to show my sincerity... As for this place, I shall dispatch a few servants to serve him and we’ll see what to do next after knowing the outcome..."

With that, he ordered his housekeeper to prepare gifts once more and headed to the mountain again.

...

Three Suns Sect.

"Zhantang, go to the gates. If you see He Qing, bring him to me!"

Three Suns Daoist, who was in meditation, opened his eyes and mumbled.

"Master?"

Yang Zhantang was confused. He did not know what had just happened.

This person has a backing. It is the request of the guardian of Golden Sun Prosperous Land for me to meet him. Furthermore... we’ve received quite a lot of gifts from them. If he has the potential, we can allow him to join us!"

Three Suns Daoist stroked his beard as his eyes glistened. "Why... are you unwilling?"

"I don’t dare!"

Yang Zhantang shuddered. He knew that his master had found out about his doings. Uncontrollably, he knelt down and asked for forgiveness.

"I know what you are thinking. Do you really think I will hand everything down to an outsider?"

Three Suns Daoist shook his head with an impatient look. "The appointment as head of the Three Suns Sect is yours sooner or later. However, looking at your attitude and personality, you still need to undergo training. If you are so unforgiving of others, how can you achieve great things in the future?"

"Master... Uncle!"

Yang Zhantang was relieved and shocked at the same time as he almost teared up. "I’ll go out this instant to invite my junior!"

With that promise, he knew he had to change for the better and assume the role of a senior.

"Keke..."

Seeing his silhouette leaving, Three Suns Daoist revealed a mysterious smile.

He was speaking the truth, However, it would be after his death. Seeing how things were, if Three Suns Daoists’ nephew disciple could not achieve the 4th Tier of a spiritual knight, he would have to spend his whole life as a disciple, serving his master.

"There’s no other choice... a dream master lives for far too long, and I was fortunate enough to have obtained a large amount of Life Redeeming Pills... Everyone wants to take over me, but no one knows that I will live longer than all my disciples. Therefore, I am not lying to you... However, Fang Yuan seems to be hinting that this is the intention of the Smelter’s faction! Regardless, I shall just agree to his request for the sake of the alliance..."

To him, it was perfectly alright to have another disciple. This was how carefree a dream master could be.

Furthermore, he would have the chance to squeeze his new disciple dry. After accepting He Qing for the sake of Fang Yuan, he could thereafter reap benefits from him.

This was what he was planning for all this while.

Everything was merely returning to the original plan.

...

"After helping He Qing this time, it’s time I should go and take over my plot of land..."

By requesting a favour for He Qing, it was enough to repay all that he had done for Fang Yuan.

Furthermore, at this point in time, his physical body had recovered completely and the 3 swords in his actualised dream world were fully restored. He had restored his peak condition and was about to leave to claim his rewards.

Throwing a gold ingot on the counter, Fang Yuan left the inn.

Outside, a few servants were looking about. Ignoring them, Fang Yuan walked straight out.

They were like blind people. Although they had opened their eyes wide, they still could not see Fang Yuan and were still attempting to look into the inn.

Golden Sun City was in the centre of Cloud Region. People from all around the region came here to trade and it was a bustling city.

In the vicinity, there were a few mountains and valleys. According to the Fengshui of this place, it was a favourable location to gather auspicious energy.

Therefore, the Three Suns Sect has chosen this place to set up the sect. Similarly, other sects had followed suit.

Golden Sun Mountain.

In the dense vegetation, Fang Yuan rushed inwards like the wind. As he entered the depths of the forest, he arrived at a place where no hunters or herb pluckers would ever dare to venture.

In the deep mountains, there was an unpleasant stench. Mutated beasts roamed the area and many species of flowers and grass were competing to grow. The entire place was an indescribable danger.

"The Realm Alliance, Baize Mountain, Divine Lotus Cult, Evil Divine Sect and Source Seeking Sect... Even the 5 most powerful organisations of the dream masters are but empty shells, feeding on a foundation and a source of energy. Where does the foundation come from? The Hidden Dragon Guards of the Da Qian depend on the royal family, and on that note, the 5 Grand Organisations would have lost out. However, they can create their own prosperous land filled with spiritual energy... Of course, most importantly, they will have to feed on the spiritual lands created by 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters or the hollows created by the Prominent Divine dream masters! These scattered prosperous lands and spiritual lands are thus created in the process, but are meaningless to them!"

As he continued on his way, Fang Yuan slowly digested the information which he had previously obtained from the Realm Alliance.

"Of course, the great powers would belong to their own factions. As soon as the hollows or spiritual lands are created, they would first use it to benefit members of their own factions and this is only normal... To new members like us, it would be extremely hard even to help them manage these publicly-available prosperous lands!"

Since he was not a direct descendant of a powerful being, it would be even more difficult for him to access such a land. However, things were different now that he had traded for one such piece of land.

Arriving at a valley, the fog started to thicken. However, as a dream master, he could quickly tell that this fog was not made out of water droplets, but instead, created by a dream master.

"This is indeed the location of the Golden Sun Prosperous Land..."

With a smile, Fang Yuan walked into the valley.

"Buzz!"

As soon as he entered the valley, the surroundings started to change. The white fog slowly ascended up and transformed into a bewildering fog. Amidst the fog, a colourful talisman flashed, revealing the fact that this was an extremely powerful array.

"Where have you come from? This is the Realm Alliance’s Golden Sun Prosperous Land. If you are an outsider, please take your leave!"

A thunderous voice was heard coming from the inside of the valley.

"Mmm, is this the 99 Golden Suns Gigantic Array? It is able to protect the prosperous land, nourish the energy in it and has the effect of misleading and trapping trespassers. Of course, most importantly, it is being strengthened by the main array. Although you might have the rights to control the array, you cannot be considered the owner of the prosperous land, but a mere manager."

Fang Yuan nodded his head and took out a piece of golden leaf.

"Buzz!"

As the golden leaf glowed brilliantly, the fog started to disperse. A string of messages appeared and flew into the array.

Within moments, the fog had dispersed completely, revealing a piece of prosperous land. In the middle, there was a small mountain which had a faint glow coming from it. Nothing seemed normal here.

"Oh, it’s the new guardian!"

A streak of light shot down from a building and an old man with a long beard appeared. He started to examine Fang Yuan.

The missions to become guardians were all lucrative missions. Furthermore, this person was allocated 60 hectares of spiritual land for his private use. He seemed to have a strong backing, but the old man could not guess which faction he was from.

"Greetings, Brother Jin!"

Fang Yuan held the golden leaf in his heads. As soon as he saw him, he could roughly guess that he was a dream master at the 3rd Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage. Compared to himself, his old man was much weaker. If he did not have the protection of the array, he would become very vulnerable.

"Haha... Brother Fang, please give me a moment. I shall bring my manager over to facilitate the process of handing over!"

The previous guardian was Jin Xing. He was aged and had a friendly disposition. However, as a fellow 3rd Tier Illusionary Divine dream master, Fang Yuan could tell that he was unwilling to go.

After all, this mission was a lucrative one. Now that he had to hand over, he would have no idea what the alliance would assign him next.

However, this was none of his business. Fang Yuan came straight to the main hall and ordered for the commencement of the banquet.

"I am about to hand over. This is your new guardian and your new head. Hurry and pay your respects!"

Jin Xing clapped his hands and a group of people entered the hall to pay their greetings. "Greetings, master!"

"This life... is indeed luxurious! Are there over a hundred people here? To have all of them serving me would make me feel like a king..."

With that, the servants started to serve up delicious wine and food. Dancers draped in loose clothing revealed their voluptuous figures as they danced around the hall.

"Here! Let’s toast to your achievements!"

Jin Xing raised his cup and toasted Fang Yuan.

"Thank you!"

Fang Yuan drank a cup of wine and smiled. "We’ve finished the wine and the banquet. Should we discuss how to take over things, especially the stocktaking of the storeroom?"

Jin Xing went pale.

Although this dream master was young, he was not foolish.

In history, when handing over, the storeroom would always be the utmost priority. If there were any miscalculations, the records would go wrong in the future.

Seeing his expression, Fang Yuan smiled to himself. He knew that this old man had taken a lot for himself. However, he was alright with this. As long as it did not affect him, he would not pursue the matter. However, what would matter would be the old man’s attitude.

"Of course, naturally..."

After a brief silence, Jin Xing smiled and ordered for the records to be brought over. "Golden Sun Prosperous Land was discovered by our alliance 500 years ago. Since then, they have set up a gigantic array to protect it and have transformed the surroundings into 900 hectares of spiritual farm. Of course, among these 900 hectares, 60 hectares are now yours. We also have 127 servants and 562 other people living here. All these people here are literate and practice martial arts. We have 300 of them who had obtained inner force and 2 Wu Zongs..."

As for spiritual knights, Jin Xing would naturally bring them along with him.

"This prosperous land mainly produces aged gold on the mountain peak. Every year, we would be able to produce 500 catties of it. As for the spiritual farm, we would produce 20,000 catties of spiritual rice annually, together with spiritual fruits and spiritual vegetables... We have already transferred the produce to the alliance this year. Right now, we have 3,000 catties of spiritual rice and 20 catties of aged gold in the storeroom. You can have everything else for yourself, Brother Fang!"

"Mmm!"

Fang Yuan received the records. Although he was doubtful, he silently nodded his head.

This previous guardian was rather considerate not to have created a mess for Fang Yuan to deal with. Of course, this might be due to the fact that Fang Yuan’s backing was powerful. Otherwise, no one knew if he would give the same treatment to someone else.

"Although there are some mistakes in the records, no worries! Let’s just leave things as such!"

After a short moment, although Fang Yuan had spotted some errors in the records, he did not pursue it.

After all, these insignificant resources were not enough to arouse his interest. Seeing that the previous guardian did not leave a mess for him to settle, he decided not to pursue and press him further.

"Alright!"

Jin Xing was elated. In reality, this was an important mission. Although he had kept some of the resources for himself, Fang Yuan did not pay any attention to all that he had taken.

Seeing how magnanimous Fang Yuan was, he admired him in his heart. "Although I have a few connections and wealth stashed away, I still cannot compare to this direct descendant who is indeed generous!"
