Chapter 1064: 508

Xu Fengnian had other arrangements.

These arrangements had already been set by Xu Fengnian a month in advance.

Given that these matters involved a Shuoyang Grandmaster, Xu Fengnian really couldn’t stand Fang Mu up to accommodate the Shuoyang Grandmaster.

The Shuoyang Grandmaster was a bona fide Senior Creation Zenith Master.

The exchange with the Shuoyang Grandmaster had cost Xu Fengnian no small sum to secure.

Therefore, on this matter, Xu Fengnian did not join the conversation.

...

Fang Mu paused for nearly half a minute, a period Xu Fengnian knew was intended to provide him with an opportunity to take a stand.

Xu Fengnian indeed wanted to make connections with Fang Mu and Qixing, but pursuing a relationship with Fang Mu and Qixing wasn’t limited to just this one opportunity.

In the future, when other opportunities arose, he could attempt to make connections then.

Moreover, Wang Mi had already taken the lead in agreeing, and to now offer help himself would appear to be competing with Wang Mi for resources.

“If Uncle Wang could do this, you would indeed save me a lot of effort.”

“To be honest, I’ve never liked to actively expend the connections I hold.”

“Managing relationships is a troublesome affair.”

While talking, Fang Mu took out another brocade box and then handed it to Wang Mi.

“Uncle Wang, I won’t make you help me out for nothing. Take good care of the spiritual elixirs inside the brocade box,” he said.

“These spiritual elixirs are the compensation I’m offering you.”

“Whether I end up acquiring this Growth Type Secret Land or not, these spiritual elixirs are yours.”

“I hope that with my sincere offer, Uncle Wang, you will provide me with your greatest strength!”

“I offer my thanks in advance, Uncle Wang!”

Compared to Life Elixirs, Spiritual Elixirs are more precious to those of Order-level power.

The same holds true for Grandmasters.

Wang Mi opened the brocade box, only to find ten spiritual elixirs with a purity of eighty percent neatly arranged inside.

Spiritual elixirs of such purity could only likely be concocted by a highly experienced Saint Creator.

The spiritual elixirs once again showcased Fang Mu’s capabilities to both Wang Mi and Xu Fengnian.

Upon seeing this, Wang Mi was greatly surprised, whereas Xu Fengnian wore an expression of regret.

However, no matter what, Xu Fengnian couldn’t just bail on the Shuoyang Grandmaster.

So even knowing how generous Fang Mu’s compensation was, Xu Fengnian could only look on eagerly.

As for Xu Fengnian’s conduct, Wang Mi was very satisfied.

Wang Mi surely didn’t want his relationship with Xu Fengnian to change from friends to competitors over the course of this venture.

“Nephew, do you know how much longer it will take for this Wood Attribute Growth Type Secret Land to mature?” asked Wang Mi. “I’d like to prepare early and gather more people for you!”

Hearing this, Fang Mu replied with a smile,

“There’s no hurry, Uncle Wang, we still have more than twenty days before we move towards the Desert Coast Mountain Range.”

“During this period, if you’re busy with other matters, go ahead with them; I’m not worried about leaving those elixirs with you.”

Fang Mu had not previously known Wang Mi well.

Him placing such trust in Wang Mi was Fang Mu’s way of showing goodwill.

With Qixing’s towering image established in front of Wang Mi, Fang Mu wasn’t worried that Wang Mi would take the resources meant for Grandmasters and flee.

After joining Contract Garden, Fang Mu, like Wang Mi, became a Creator of Contract Garden.

He could find Wang Mi through Contract Garden.

If Wang Mi were to abscond with his resources, Contract Garden would certainly intervene once the matter was verified.

The back and forth between Fang Mu and Wang Mi quickly deepened their relationship.

On hearing that the confrontation for the Growth Type Secret Land wouldn’t take place for another twenty days, Xu Fengnian inwardly sighed in regret.

His exchange with the Shuoyang Grandmaster would take, at most, about ten days.

Yet now, Fang Mu had already given the compensation Supplies to Wang Mi.

If he were to volunteer for this task now, it wouldn’t only displease Wang Mi, but Fang Mu might also perceive him as greedy.

Wang Mi was very satisfied with Fang Mu’s reciprocity.

By reciprocating, Fang Mu showed his intention to make connections with Wang Mi.

Making connections with Fang Mu would undoubtedly make it easier to obtain resources from Qixing in the future.

Everyone knows to act according to the strengths they choose, and Grandmasters are no exception.

Truthfully, Wang Mi couldn’t possibly stay with Fang Mu for the entire month and more.

Wang Mi had many matters to attend to.

Therefore, Wang Mi did not stand on ceremony with Fang Mu, but gave him a guarantee.

“Nephew, I have a Communication Beast here, and during this period, you can communicate with me through this beast.”

“Unless there is an emergency, I expect to return in about fifteen days.”

“At that time, including myself, I will bring five to six Order-level powers.”

“If you add your Dao Protector, we will have a fighting chance.”

“If you still feel uneasy at that time, you can contact a few more Order Strong to accompany us.”

Upon hearing that Wang Mi could only provide five to six Order Strong, Xu Fengnian couldn’t help but say.

“I’ll be busy for more than ten days.”

“By the time we go to compete for this Growth Type Secret Land, most of my matters will have been taken care of.”

“Nephew, I can also accompany you to go there.”

“I’m just lending a hand on my way, so there’s no need for you to pay me.”

“This way, you won’t have to go and contact other Order Strong.”

“The last time there was a competition for a Growth Type Secret Land, the strongest force had no more than eight Order Strong.”

“Our side’s combat power will be somewhat higher than those eight.”

“Now the Contract Garden is reshuffling the major Federations and powers.”

“All the major Federations and powers are preparing for the upcoming ranking.”

“Therefore, the number of forces and Federations involved this time will definitely not be as many as the last.”

Since it wouldn’t interfere with his own communications with the Shuoyang Grandmaster, Xu Fengnian was very willing to do Fang Mu a favor.

Helping on his own without resorting to the support of his background powers meant that Wang Mi would not take issue with him either.

Fang Mu, hearing this, smiled at Xu Fengnian and then said.

“Then, this junior thanks Uncle Xu in advance!”

While talking, Fang Mu gave Xu Fengnian a meaningful look.

Xu Fengnian and Wang Mi stayed at Fang Mu’s place for a night, and Wang Mi left early for the Haichuan Federation.

He was preparing to assimilate the Life Elixir and Spiritual Elixir that Fang Mu had traded with him.

Wang Mi was determined to try and see if he could further enhance one of his Guardian Beasts with these Life Elixirs and Spiritual Elixirs.

Xu Fengnian remembered the look Fang Mu had given him and wasn’t in a hurry to leave.

Xu Fengnian was unsure of the meaning behind the look that Fang Mu had given him.

Staying in the manor for half a day longer, if Fang Mu had anything to discuss, he would naturally seek him out.

As Xu Fengnian had anticipated, Fang Mu found him immediately after Wang Mi’s departure.

He handed a Brocade Box to Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian opened the Brocade Box and saw inside two vials of Life Elixir with eighty percent purity.

“Uncle Xu is willing to help me, but I can’t let you help me for nothing!”

“My master has always taught me to follow the principle of fair trade, never to take advantage of others or let others unduly benefit from our cooperation.”

“If Uncle Xu refuses to accept it, I truly cannot impose on you to accompany me!”

Xu Fengnian, moved, took the Brocade Box from Fang Mu’s hands.

Firstly, Xu Fengnian wasn’t upset that the Spiritual Elixir in Fang Mu’s Brocade Box was less than he could have given because Wang Mi would be bringing five to six Order Strong, while he was the only one on his side.

Secondly, Xu Fengnian was impressed by Qixing’s education of Fang Mu.

Qixing’s adherence to the principle of fair trade was highly regarded by all the Grandmaster Creators.

That was also how Wang Mi taught his disciples.

However, Wang Mi’s disciples were decidedly not as obedient as Fang Mu.

Since Qixing was in retreat and he had already declared his willingness to help Fang Mu free of charge,

Fang Mu had plenty of opportunities to keep these two vials of Spiritual Elixir secret, yet he did not do so.

This clarified to Xu Fengnian the significance of befriending Fang Mu.

Befriending Fang Mu through contacting Qixing could almost be equivalent to befriending Qixing itself!

Because in this process, Fang Mu had no ulterior motives whatsoever.

No wonder Qixing placed such trust in Fang Mu, entrusting him with a large amount of rare resources to manage.

Suddenly, Xu Fengnian thought that perhaps he should take a disciple as well.

If he could train a disciple like Fang Mu, it would certainly be one of life’s great pleasures!
