THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

farewell

***

The next day Fang An's injuries finally completely disappeared, thanks to Fu Lie Wei's patience in taking care of him, Fang An was finally able to recover as he had.

"This is take the Blood Snake Stone Dragon Wing, I deliberately took two bottles because the other one is for me to give you!" fu Lie Wei said as he gave a bottle containing the blood of the Dragon Winged Stone Snake.

"Are you sure you want to give this to me? Is a bottle enough for you?" ask Fang An.

"More than enough! Owh yes, do you also want his Spirit Core? Since you have already managed to kill him, so this Spirit Core is indeed worthy of being yours!" said Fu Lie Wei who took out that Spirit Core from within his ring.

"You take it, I'm enough with this blood!" replied Fang An.

Fu Lie Wei felt very happy, because the Spirit Core belonging to the Dragon Winged Stone Snake would allow him to break through to the Yu Jing stage, while the Blood obtained would be able to make him increase his cultivation level.

Luo Ying alone along with the Ice Lion were outside looking for medicinal herbs, they did not know if Fu Lie Wei would leave.

"If you want to find the Fire Rat, just search near the Bottomless Gorge, but I ask you not to get too close to the edge of the abyss!" fu Lie Wei said because he was afraid that Fang An would be far away to the Bottomless Gorge.

"So you know where the Fire Rat is?" ask Fang An.

"I saw their horde a few days ago, I'm sure that Fire Rat is what you're looking for!" fu Lie Wei.

"Are you sure you want to go now?" ask Fang An.

"Yes, I still have responsibilities as well as affairs that I can't leave behind for too long!" replied Fu Lie Wei.

Fang An fell silent, for some reason he felt heavy-hearted to part with Fu Lie Wei, even though he had only known her for a few days with, after all, however there was a strange feeling that made him so eager to always be by his side.

"Are we going to see each other again?" ask Fang An.

"I don't know, but I also hope to see you again later in life, maybe when we meet again you're already very strong, and maybe more mature," fu Lie Wei said then he took out a blue handkerchief and there was a flower carving in the middle.

"This is a sign of our meeting, save it! I hope you don't forget me" Fu Lie Wei said as she passed the blue handkerchief to Fang An.

Fang An accepted it but felt increasingly heavy as he was about to part with Fu Lie Wei.

"Take care of yourself, goodbye!" fu Lie Wei said then he turned around and intended to step away outside.

"Wait..!" said Fang An who stopped Fu Lie Wei's steps.

Fu Lie Wei did not turn around, but Fang An grabbed Fu Lie Wei's hand, forcing him to turn around and quickly hugged her.

Fu Lie Wei returned the hug and Fang An bravely raised Fu Lie Wei's face and kissed her, and of course Fu Lie Wei returned the kiss so that the two became sticky.

It was fortunate that there was no Luo Ying there, and after a while, only then did they release their kisses and hugs.

Fu Lie Wei's mind grew increasingly chaotic as he looked at Fang An, because of his actions back then, the little boy was finally more daring to act and do as he had done back then, just like he had done back then, but strangely Fu Lie Wei also felt late, and he hoped that later after Fang An was more mature, he would be able to meet again.

"Good bye!" fu Lie Wei said then he stepped away into the mouth of the cave.

After being in Goa's mouth, Fu Lie Wei turned back to Fang An who was still standing looking at him.

The gazes of the two described the objections of the two of them to parting, but Fu Lie Wei was aware that he still had duties and responsibilities as a Vice Elder, so he had to return to his Sect.

Fu Lie Wei gathered the Qi at his feet after which he jumped up and shot into the air then disappeared and left only a trace of rumbling sounds as well as the traces of his footprints on Goa's mouth.

Fang An watched the blue handkerchief carefully after which he smiled then stored it inside his Earth Storage Ring.

"A beautiful and very nice woman! I hope no one is crying because of this farewell," Feng Huang said.

"Teacher lent me?" ask Fang An.

"No! I cast your shadow," replied Feng Huang.

"Teacher take it easy, I will not be late because of this farewell," Fang An said.

"Hehe..!" Feng Huang only sounded a little laugh then he went back to silence.

After a while Luo Ying and the Ice Lion came, they hurriedly returned after hearing the rumbling sounds in the sky.

"Sister, where is senior Lie Wei?" asked Luo Ying.

"He's gone!" replied Fang An.

"Where to?"

"Execute his duties and responsibilities!" answer again Fang An.

Only here did he remember that he still did not know where Fu Lie Wei lived, but he was too late because Fu Lie Wei had already left.

"Sister, the journey from here to the Bottomless Gorge is still far away?" ask Fang An.

"It takes one more day to get there! Why are you asking that?" asked Luo Ying.

Luo Ying did not expect that Fang An would be able to obtain any information about that Fire Rat, only that he was a little surprised that the Rat was near the Bottomless Gorge.

"Sister, you better eat this meat, who knows you will be able to break through to the Yu Zhi stage!" said Luo Ying while giving the Snake meat to Fang An.

Fang An watched the snake meat then looked at Luo Ying as he said, "Silver one eats it, I already have that Snake Blood, so I will use this blood only!" fang An replied while showing the bottle containing the blood of the Dragon Wing Stone Snake.

Luo Ying noticed the bottle containing green blood belonging to the Dragon Winged Stone Snake, if at that time there was still blood on the Snake's flesh, perhaps he would also take it.

"Well then, this meat is me and the Ice Lion who will eat it!" said Luo Ying then he called the Ice Lion to eat.

"Sister, tonight I'm going to do a retreat here, so please take care of the cave door so that no one bothers me!" fang An said.

"You leave it to your brother!" luo Ying replied with a puff of his chest.

Fang An nodded with a wide smile then he sat down cross-legged as well as took out the Dragon Winged Snake Blood Stone given by Fu Lie Wei.

"Don't you say it's tonight? Why would you use that now?" asked Luo Ying.

"I just don't want to waste time, let alone have to wait until later tonight!" replied Fang An.

Since there was already nothing to talk about anymore, Fang An started sitting cross-legged and he communicated with his teacher.

"I'm ready teacher!" fang An said.

"You take out just two drops of Fang An, that's more than enough to get you up to Yu Zhi's stage!" said Feng Huang who told him how to use the Dragon Winged Snake Blood properly.

Fang An immediately followed Feng Huang's directions, he took out the two drops of blood by dripping it into his tongue, the remaining blood that was still plenty he returned back into his ring so as not to freeze.

After that blood entered his body, Fang An instantly meditated as well as entered his Soul Realm.

Luo Ying saw Fang An's body begin to release his Qi which looked to resemble an extremely fine blue crystal grain.

That Qi came out like a water that spilled and flowed around Fang An's body, whereas Fang An himself already looked like a statue since his Spiritual soul was already in the Soul Realm with Feng Huang.

So all that Luo Ying could do right now was to keep the safety of the cave together with the Ice Lion.

In the soul realm, Fang An was closing his eyes and a fine blue Crystal-shaped Qi was spreading around Fang An's body.

Feng Huang himself noticed Fang An without daring to disturb Fang An who was about to break through to the Yu Zhi stage, even commenting not, either, he did not want Fang An's retreat to be interrupted as this was extremely risky.

Slowly but surely, the Qi that spread out as well as swirling around Fang An started to create flashes of lightning, even his body that was outside also created flashes of blue lightning.

Beside that appeared a red aura that slowly lit up and then grew into a blaze of flames that enveloped Fang An's entire body.

"His Fire Element Spirit Root also went up thanks to that Snake Blood, this is great!" muttered Feng Huang.

Fang An's Fire Element Spirit Root had now risen to Level 2, not to mention his Lightning Element Spirit Root which had also risen to Level 3, not to mention his Lightning Element Spirit Root, with this Fang An could already fuse the White Lightning Core that was believed to exist within the Bottomless Gorge.

After almost an entire night of Fang An doing his retreat, his Qi and his two Spirit Roots began to increase, and, moreover, his dantian was expanding so much that he was ready to absorb all the Qi that was already getting more and more around him.

Fang An changed the shape of his hand seal and then he quickly absorbed the huge amount of Qi into his body.

The Qi that Fang An had managed to absorb was instantly spinning and entered into Fang An's body like an extremely powerful suction vortex.

And just as the sun rose, the entire Qi managed to Fang An absorb, be it the Qi that was in the Soul Realm, or the Qi that was in the outside world.

Luo Ying and the Ice Lion both saw the changes in Fang An's still meditating body, they saw Fang An's neck skin as it broke, the shards were emitting blue and red light, they saw, not to mention the shape of the shards that were almost like cracks was like a lightning bolt spreading out, and at the same time, at the same time, Fang An instantly opened his eyes then he released a huge energy which made the entire room of Goa tremble.

"Yeshoo…!"

Fang An roared loudly making his sound waves sound until the cave came out, and after that Fang An calmed down again.

"He managed to break through to the Yu Zhi Level 1 stage!" muttered Luo Ying who was smiling widely looking at Fang An.

Fang An looked at Luo Ying who was smiling at him, and both of Fang An's eyes emitted a blue light right in his cornea, and it lasted for several breaths and then the light disappeared.

"Is this the strength of a Yu Zhi?" muttered Fang An while checking his energy.

"You already have as much Qi as 30 Whirlwind Fang An, normally this much amount can only be possessed by a Tier 4 Yu Zhi," Feng Huang said.

"But why is my neck so hot?" fang An asked then he checked it out.

"What's this?" ask Fang An.

"That's the already formed Lightning Element! You don't have to worry because it will only appear if you activate the fight mode alone," Feng Huang said.

Fang An was indeed unaware that he was currently inside the Combat Mode Form or commonly known as the Aura of Fighters, therefore his Lightning Element appeared, and definitely the higher his strength, the higher his strength was, then the bigger the crack looks, but it will not make Fang An's skin deformed.

"Alright I'm ready to go catch the Fire Rat and also descend into the Bottomless Gorge!" muttered Fang An.
