Chapter 1138: Chapter 545: Xuan Chapter and Xuan Body!_2 Chapter 1138: Chapter 545: Xuan Chapter and Xuan Body!_2 Fang Mu now had three mysterious patterns and had gained an additional rune.
Within a century, he only needed to comprehend three more mysterious patterns.
But Ning Hongshu had only obtained two complete mysterious patterns.
As one progressed, comprehending mysterious patterns as a Beast Master became increasingly difficult.
Judging by Ning Hongshuâs past ability to comprehend these patterns, it was highly likely that she would be unable to condense even a third mysterious pattern before her lifespan ran out.
Fang Mu timely spoke,
âIf Aunt Ning truly reaches the end of her lifespan in the future, I donât think master would stand idly by!â
âHe would also replenish Aunt Ningâs lifespan.â
âMoreover, itâs not only a hundred years that can be replenished. There might be a chance to replenish a thousand years in the future!â
Upon hearing Fang Muâs words, both Ning Hongshu and Jun Fengâs faces showed shocked expressions.
What! Could Qixing replenish a lifespan of a hundred years and even extend it by a thousand years!?
If such a method were known, who knows what kind of uproar it would cause!
With a thousand years added to their lifespan, Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng suddenly felt a rush of recklessness.
In these thousand years, the two of them wouldnât need to do anything, and their power would naturally increase.
Qixingâs method seemed destined to ensure its influence would continue for a very long time.
Who knew how many extremely powerful old monsters would be in Qixingâs force after a thousand years!
Fang Mu had done everything necessary for Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng, giving them a hopeful expectation for the future.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Mu earnestly said to Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng,
âThis time, besides treating Uncle Feng, I also need to ensure both of your loyalty to my master.â
âHere are two Soul Parasite Ants and two Infinite Silver Silkworms, I hope you can both form contracts with them.â
âIt would also let me report back to my master after I return.â
Loyalty was never a matter of mere words.
Fang Mu had used so many resources to help Jun Feng. Jun Feng and Ning Hongshu couldnât just offer a promise.
In the Beastmaster world, promises were unreliable.
Even members of a traveling group would betray their companions for profits.
Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng were not unaware of this.
Fang Mu believed that Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng wouldnât object to his request.
As they were clearly aware that they were dealing with a Saint Creator, they did not dare refuse.
Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng approached Fang Mu and calmly took the Soul Parasite Ants and Infinite Silver Silkworms from his hands.
Both Jun Feng and Ning Hongshu had heard of the Soul Parasite Ants.
The offspring produced by the Covenant Servant Soul Ant Queen nested within the soul, protecting and even destroying the soul upon commands from the mother.
Even if they had contracted Ghost System Beasts, it was nearly impossible to suppress the already established nests of the Soul Parasite Ants.
Not to mention that if the Soul Parasite Ants were suppressed, the mother would receive the information.
Once the Soul Parasite Ants went berserk, the toxins they released against the soul could severely affect the hostâs soul.
Soul Parasite Ants were one of the rare methods to control a Peak Order Practitioner.
Yet, these pale golden silkworms were Sacred Relics that could amplify spiritual power, allowing Beast Masters to skip ranks when forming contracts with beasts.
Such items had no practical use for them.
What was Fang Muâs intention in giving these pale golden silkworms to them?
Jun Fengâs life was given by Qixing.
Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng did not inquire further and directly chose to contract with the two pale golden silkworms.
Upon seeing this, Fang Mu felt very pleased.
With a Peak Order Practitioner completely under his control, Fang Mu would be able to face many situations with ease in the future.
âLittle Wood, do you have any other arrangements?â
âIf you do, my husband and I will fully cooperate with you!â
At this moment, Ning Hongshu felt far more grateful to Fang Mu than Jun Feng himself did.
Fang Mu had no need to hide his purpose from his own people.
Fang Mu spoke directly to Ning Hongshu.
âAunt Ning, a Wood Attribute Growth Type Sanctuary here is being contested by various powers.â
âI am aiding Uncle Feng and coordinating with the people on our side.â
âOnce we acquire the Wood Attribute Growth Type Sanctuary, this operation will be deemed a complete success.â
âAfterwards, I plan to return to the Dragon Rising Federation for a while.â
âMaster is currently in seclusion, and the task of heading to the Sea of Domains will likely fall to me.â
âI hope that Uncle Feng will be able to accompany me.â
âDuring my stay in the Dragon Rising Federation, Aunt Ning, you and Uncle Feng can make your own arrangements.â
Having said that, Fang Mu handed a brocade box to Ning Hongshu.
Upon opening it, Ning Hongshu saw that the brocade box contained precisely one hundred vials of Spiritual Elixirs with a purity of eighty-six percent.
An eighty-six percent purity in Spiritual Elixirs was within the capability range of a Saint Creator, beyond what even a Grandmaster Creator could concoct, no matter how fortunate.
Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng looked at the brocade box full of Spiritual Elixirs, puzzled, and turned their gaze back to Fang Mu.
Having just received Qixingâs favor, the two could hardly imagine that the Spiritual Elixirs within the brocade box were a reward for them.
However, they were well aware of the benefits that receiving the brocade box of Spiritual Elixirs would bring them both.
âLittle Wood, thisâŠâ
Before Ning Hongshu could finish her sentence, Fang Mu chuckled and responded.
âMaster has always been generous towards his people, and besides, Uncle Feng has many tasks to handle on Masterâs behalf.â
âItâs only right to offer some compensation to you both.â
âEven towards his subordinates, the Master does not simply summon and dismiss at will.â
âRather, he adheres to principles of fair trade.â
âAunt Ning, Uncle Feng, please just accept these Spiritual Elixirs for absorption without any burden!â
Jun Feng helped Fang Mu, while Ning Hongshu served as a covert operative within the Contract Garden.
Ning Hongshu and Jun Fengâs gratitude towards Qixing would be firmly remembered for years.
Yet, such gratitude would gradually diminish as they continued to assist.
By compensating Jun Feng and Ning Hongshu for each mission, Fang Mu not only showed his respect for their efforts but also maintained their appreciation for Qixing.
After all, Fang Mu also planned to provide resources to help Jun Feng advance his skills further.
Upon hearing Fang Muâs words, after some initial reluctance, Jun Feng and Ning Hongshu decided to accept the brocade box.
Through this incident, the two understood Qixingâs style of management.
Compared to a Saint Creator like Han Ming, who sought benefits from his subordinates, Qixing was incomparably superiorâa difference like heaven and earth.
Having accepted the benefits, they would undoubtedly devote themselves even more wholeheartedly to their tasks.
If it werenât for Jun Fengâs health, which made Ning Hongshu prioritize him, leaving many unresolved matters at the Hall of Nine Poisons,
Jun Feng would have seriously considered traveling to the Dragon Rising Federation with Fang Mu.
âIâve previously heard about this Wood Attribute Growth Type Sanctuary.â
âFloating Peak once mentioned it when he visited the Hall of Nine Poisons, and he even invited me to help contest it.â
âAt that time, I really wasnât in the mood, so I turned down Floating Peak.â
âFloating Peak failed to get my help, and he must have sought out others.â
âAll the forces assumed that because of the power struggle, none would allocate too much effort on this Growth Type Sanctuary.â
âBut, in reality, this could likely be seen as an opportunity for those involved to decisively gain control by escalating their efforts.â
âWith Uncle Fengâs help, securing this Growth Type Sanctuary shouldnât be a problem.â
âA Growth Type Sanctuary isnât significant enough for forces with Peak Order Practitioners to employ one.â
âIt seems like the Witch School is making considerable efforts to control the information.â
âIn the eyes of those forces truly capable of obtaining this Wood Attribute Growth Type Sanctuary, the actions of the Witch School appear as nothing more than a joke.â
âIn the process of seeking help from other powers, the Witch School inevitably ends up leaking information.â
âThe only secrets the Witch School can keep are from those insignificant forces.â
