The sky brightened, Xiao Bing woke up on the bed...

  It wasn't her own bed, but the feeling... She sighed and got up, starting her daily morning prayer. During the prayer, an invisible light emanated from her body, which was only visible to the naked eye for a moment before she put on her clothes and opened the door to come out.

  The hall was empty, but on the balcony outside, Fang Xinduan was sitting there, facing the morning glow and inhaling, with purple energy seeping into his body. She focused her attention for a while, perhaps Fang Xin's progress was so rapid because of this constant cultivation!

  Then she put on an apron and came into the kitchen, where she saw Fang Mu Meng Xuan Xuan.

  "Oh dear, why don't you sleep a bit more? It's still early!" Meng Tianmeng said busily.

  "Mom, it's getting late, I usually have to leave half an hour earlier." Xiao Bing said at this time.

  "What's going on?"

  "En, cultivation takes time. As the head of the Xiao family and the priestess of the Xiangshui Goddess Temple, I also need to pray every morning. And there are many things to do every day." Xiao Bing said somewhat vaguely.

  Meng Qianqian didn't say anything, she just patted her back. As the successor of the Xiao family, after Rong Guang, she also took on a lot of work. To put it simply, if not for work, her cultivation could have been refined to perfection. It's refinement, not breakthrough. Now that she is at the fourth stage, her foundation is actually a bit unstable and needs to be consolidated.

  However, Xiao Bing followed and said: "Mom, what are you cooking?" At this time, the fragrance had already come out.

  "It's egg and tofu congee. Don't bother helping anymore, it's almost done."

  "Then I'll wait, and help you carry it up." Xiao Bing took a look and felt that the timing was still a bit off, so she said as they arrived at the main hall. Just as she untied her apron, she saw Fang Xin coincidentally finishing his morning lesson and returning.

  "Ah Bing, good morning!"

  "Ah Xin, it's early. Mom is cooking porridge inside, it's almost done. Just wait a bit." She said to Fang Xin, who at this time absorbed a large amount of solar essence. This solar essence appeared as golden light dots in her spiritual eyes. One by one, because Fang Xin was not on guard, she could see with her spiritual eyes that his body was filled with a surging "qi", and the golden light dots were being absorbed into the flow of qi, either sinking or floating, slowly dissolving and disappearing.

  "Fang Xin, what kind of kung fu have you been practicing? Can you absorb these solar and lunar energies?"

  "No, it's just the ordinary cycle of the Grand Week." Fang Xin was also somewhat inexplicable, perhaps due to the body being purified. Or maybe it was because the yuanqi itself had the greatest tolerance after transforming merit. In short, this air base didn't dare say that everything could be digested. But indeed, there were many options.

  Xiao Bing was silent, she could now see the process, indeed there wasn't much special about it, apart from the inner energy itself.

  But this kind of thing, although rare, is not unheard of. It can only be said that everyone's inner nature is different. She then changed the subject: "What did that person say yesterday? Your face doesn't look very good."

  "He was very professional and said he hoped I would take a position within the Fang family, but I declined directly, saying I already had arrangements. As soon as I graduated from school, I went to work for the Xiao family. Fang Xin did seem somewhat displeased, having brought Xiao Bing along. If you're smart, don't mention anything about working within the Fang family - can you make me the head of the Fang family?"

  It's just a kind of eye drops, if he doesn't respond, he'll go back and not know what to say, if he responds, it will be even more foolish, but no matter how, seeing Fang Xin bring Xiao Bing, the fact that he still brings up this issue is very foolish.

  He had no choice but to respond to the foolish words, it's really a helpless thing. Of course, in fact, Fang's family was not greatly affected by this matter, but he still had parents and some close relatives who might be affected.

  "Why are you getting angry, there are many things like this, don't think too much about it, it doesn't have any impact at all." Xiao Bing said nonchalantly, indeed, her strength was right here, no matter what kind of troublemaker was stirring up within the Fang family, she could resolve it with just one sentence.

  Fang Xin still has some tender feelings, she thought so and then smiled silently.

  "Alright, that's how it went. Oh, I went online yesterday and tomorrow the novice area finals will begin. There are about 36,000 people now, still divided into groups of ten for a ten-game match. Those with scores within 360 can advance to the mid-level finals," Fang Xin said.

  In fact, Xiao Bing was more serious about this matter, she thought for a moment: "Is it still randomly assigned nationwide?"

  "Yes, it's a national random assignment, but if you say it's random, there should still be some flowers." Fang Xin was still somewhat prepared for this question.

  "There may be some tricks, but they may not necessarily target you. Being able to produce a hero or attract the audience's attention is still possible. I think the organizers will give you some difficult problems that you can't solve, and your winning streak will end. If you can solve them, it's just right to create an idol with advertising effect. In this case, the organizers are likely willing to offer 1.2 times the points resources for a winning streak." These things, Xiao Bing understands better than him, it's not a matter of quality, but a matter of experience and experience.

  Fang Xin said: "Alright, let's head back today. I'll focus my mind and sweep across the land to challenge all the top swordsmen. I really hope to encounter another 4th rank swordmaster to hone my skills."

  "Yes, I'm looking forward to it too. However, the fourth-stage swordsmen are either busy with family matters or serving in the imperial government. The last time the empire personally organized a swordsmanship tournament might have been an exception, but in this privately-organized Qingteng Cup, the chances of encountering them aren't high."

  Xiao Bing thought for a moment before saying: "However, there should still be several fourth-stage experts participating. You'll inevitably encounter them, even if it's not midway through, you'll definitely meet them in the later stages. Getting into the top three is still a difficult task."

  "Or you can arrange a soul journey for me, find a time difference that's a bit bigger." Fang Xin said: "From the novice area to the mid-term competition, there is a month of time for the contestants to digest. Of course, from the mid-term competition to the final is also the same. These days are enough for me to further hone my skills."

  "The space with a large time difference is not recommended for you to go to, because the farther away from our world, the more uncontrollable it becomes. You went to the second layer of space last time, which was already very dangerous. There's magic, divine power, and demons inside. Last time, you only went to a very small part of it, so it wasn't obvious. However, if it's also the second layer below, but a vast plane, then there will be many strong people inside. If you get killed there, the homogenization effect has already been taken into account. Being caught by the strong people in that place would be extremely tragic."

  Xiao Bing said seriously.

  "A Bing, you all go to other places, are they also snatched away?"

  "Well, it can't be said to be a sacrifice either. As long as you stay in that dimension, you will be absorbed into a body close to your essence. However, if your soul is not strong enough, this first pass will be assimilated or swallowed up. If you unfortunately encounter a stronger one..."

  "Is this traction random?"

  "This kind of reincarnation should have some sort of rule, and the Empire has already figured out some of it. The ones you go in with are all existences similar to your essence." Xiao Bing replied: "The Empire's energy meter can still protect the past personnel's soul intact, maintain contact, and even make a certain amount of intervention in emergency situations. However, due to the transmission of energy between planes, the consumption is extremely large, and it is generally difficult to sustain."

  "My family, the Xiao, also has one, which was obtained at a great cost, so as to maintain contact between planes of existence. This is essential for plane explorers, without it, the soul would be incomplete, and venturing into unfamiliar planes would be suicidal. After all, some planes have a rapid flow of time, where aging and death occur quickly, and after that, you must undergo spatial assimilation again."

  Fang Xin suddenly understood. For example, if he attached himself to Harnett and Harnett declined with age and died, then he would also be assimilated by space, which was equivalent to being killed once.

  Of course, he has a jade Ruyi and is not subject to this restriction. However, others do not have it, so they can only rely on the energy meter of the position to maintain integrity during reincarnation.

  As soon as Fang Xin understood this point, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. From this perspective, the soul-traveling between planes is currently a luxury for nobles and empires, and it's still too early for large-scale participation!

  This is equivalent to the early days of the Age of Exploration and Colonization on Earth, where travelers won't be flying all over the sky.

  "Then you choose a place with some basis for me, how about that?" Fang Xin stared at Xiao Bing.

  Xiao Bing hesitated, every quota for the expedition team required a huge cost from the Xiao family, if it was just for fun, then the gain wouldn't be worth it. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "Alright, I'll go next time too, and arrange for you to get a quota, come to my house in ten days to participate, the duration is one month, and the time ratio there is also 1:10."

  "Don't worry, I'll take on the tasks of the person I'm replacing," Fang Xin said with a shrug. In his heart, he had already made up his mind. What he lacked now was just a coordinate. Once he got there, he could use his accumulated merit to go again next time. Moreover, the contract that Yu Ruyi had developed last time actually had great potential."

  Having said that, breakfast has arrived, and both of them smiled and turned to the dining table.
