One of the biggest changes after achieving the Golden Core was how others looked at him. Their gazes had become much more docile and respectful.
Among the Cultivators from the various families who had come to greet them with Di Qing, there were inevitably many at the Middle to Late-stage Foundation Establishment realm. When Fang Qingyuan had previously visited the Southern Border, these people paid him little mind. Back then, Fang Qingyuan was merely an accessory by Lechuan's side.
But now, things were clearly different. Fang Qingyuan stood beside Lechuan, in the same position as before, yet everyone's eyes held respect, envy, and a hint of jealousy.
As for disrespect or contempt, there was none. Only a Cultivator could understand how difficult it was to achieve the Golden Core. These gazes were a reward Fang Qingyuan had earned.
