Chapter 1370 - 1370 681 I Hope They Are Here to Make

Chapter 1370: Chapter 681: I Hope They Are Here to Make Friends!_2 Chapter 1370: Chapter 681: I Hope They Are Here to Make Friends!_2 Keystone Construction had never actively requested a commission while helping Fang Mu, but the commission Fang Mu gave to Keystone Construction always far exceeded their expectations.

Fang Mu spoke directly.

“I have quite a substantial amount of jade-quality wood on hand, and it’s not possible for Master Lu Jihong to personally design each and every piece.”

“I have no specific requirements for the design itself; Master Lu Jihong can create as he pleases.”

“Master Lu Jihong just needs to select the materials he is interested in for his designs.”

“The rest of the jade-quality wood can be outsourced by your Keystone Construction to other powers that employ Grandmaster Craftsmen.”

“Remember, they must be Grandmaster Craftsmen!”

“Old Lu, you’ve seen that this Sacred Relic of mine is very interested in completely jade-transformed wood; later, I will feed it with completely jade-transformed fragments.”

“Please take care of the leftover jade-transformed wood for me, and deliver it to me in batches when the time comes.”

“As for the payment, you can talk to my second brother; he is the one who has arranged the settlement every time in the past.”

“Working with us will definitely not put Keystone Construction at a disadvantage!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Jifeng quickly responded.

“How can you say that, Sir Jianmu? Without your cultivation, how could our Keystone Construction have developed as it has today?”

“Grandmaster Craftsmen need inspiration to create furniture, and hastily making any piece would not do justice to these precious jade-quality woods.”

“I can’t guarantee the speed at which these Grandmaster Craftsmen will produce furniture, but I can assure that every piece of furniture I bring to you in the future will be crafted by the hands of a Grandmaster Craftsman!”

Fang Mu simply handed over all the jade-quality wood he had produced to Lu Jifeng.

The impact of this on Lu Jifeng was much greater than the shock of the fourteen cherry blossom trees that had sprouted Flower Spirits just earlier.

Even a force with only three Grandmaster Craftsmen, though not strong in itself, because of its function, is already able to allow Keystone Construction to reach those forces at the highest levels of power.

And to work for those high-level forces.

The more powerful a force is, the more they pursue Spiritual Energy, and this Spiritual Energy, so coveted by the powerful of the great forces, is all absorbed by these wooden boards in Fang Mu’s possession.

If the concentration of Spiritual Energy does not reach a certain level, these woods could not have transformed into jade to the extent they are now!

The higher the resource level Fang Mu shows, the stronger his power, the more pleased Lu Jifeng is in his heart.

Because this shows that Keystone Construction has found a powerful backer to rely on for decades, or even hundreds of years to come.

After Fang Mu left, Lu Jifeng first made a phone call to inform his family of the matter and then began his serious work.

No matter what, the work at hand must be done well.

Another day passed without the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association’s arrival when both Grandmaster Creators Yang Paiyun and Du Rui, through Yi Han, contacted Fang Mu, wishing to express their apologies in person.

As long as these Grandmaster Creators didn’t want to meet with Qixing, Fang Mu would generally grant them an audience.

In terms of capabilities, neither Yang Paiyun nor Du Rui would be inferior to Wang Mi and Xu Fengnian.

Especially Du Rui, who was already subtly approaching the threshold of a Senior Creation Zenith Master.

And Du Rui had a deep friendship with Ning Hongshu, a fact Fang Mu learned from Jun Feng.

When Ning Hongshu needed help the most, Du Rui used her own reputation and connections to secure ties with some Senior Creation Zenith Masters for Ning Hongshu.

Therefore, Fang Mu would not clash with Du Rui unless necessary.

This time, Yang Paiyun and Du Rui specifically asked to meet him; if he refused, it would almost equate to shutting them out, severing any future relations.

Rather than creating bad karma, Fang Mu preferred to create good ties.

“Uncle Yi is free these next few days; since the two Grandmasters have come specially for me, how could I not show any gesture of appreciation!?”

“I will have my butler go to the Yi Mansion and personally bring the two Grandmasters over.”

“Uncle Yi, if you have nothing else to do, why not come along as well!”

“I have a few extra Prayers to Heaven’s Tears here, which you can give to the young ones of the Yi Family.”

“I heard from Third Sister that among the younger generation of the Yi Family, Yi Mingchen, who is 26 years old this year, has exceptional talent. He has comprehended three electric mystic patterns, two of which are identical.”

“The Destiny Guardian Beast has the ability to promote the evolution of those electric Main Battle Mystic Beasts.”

“If Yi Mingchen can use this Prayers to Heaven’s Tears, he will surely take another big step forward!”

This was the first time Fang Mu praised the juniors of the Yi Family in front of Yi Han.

Fang Mu had asked Yan Wood to observe the situation of the Yi family’s younger generation, and Yan Wood quickly grasped the meaning behind Fang Mu’s words upon hearing them.

Fang Mu was looking to select a few outstanding individuals from among the Yi family’s younger generation to cultivate.

Fang Mu, by gaining control over the Yi Family which Yi Han had authority over, has invested substantial resources into the Yi Family, but a time will come when the Yi Family inevitably evolves.

Fang Mu does not want the resources he invested in the Yi Family to go to waste, so he plans to handpick some high-quality youngsters suitable for control.

Yan Wood understood Fang Mu’s purpose and made selections according to Fang Mu’s intentions.

After much consideration, Yan Wood concluded that among talent and character, the only one who met Fang Mu’s requirements was Yi Mingchen.

Thus, Yi Mingchen has effectively become the young Family Head of the Yi Family through Fang Mu, bypassing the fierce competition among the Yi family’s juniors.

There are at least five members of the younger generation in the Yi Family who are stronger than Yi Mingchen, but they lost out due to their character.

Fang Mu’s praise for Yi Mingchen took Yi Han by surprise; Yi Han’s expression stiffened at first upon hearing it through the Legend Butterfly, then it gradually became complex, and finally, it turned to joy.

Fang Mu was effectively interfering with the internal affairs of the Yi Family, something that would have been absolutely unacceptable to Yi Han in the past.

If only Yi Han hadn’t known Qixing was a Saint Creator, still considering Qixing as just a Grandmaster Creator.

Even though Yi Han is now under Qixing’s control, in his heart he was undoubtedly still uneasy.

But knowing that Qixing is a Saint Creator changed everything.

The fact that Fang Mu said so probably indicated that it was at Qixing’s suggestion, and Qixing’s actions meant that although he intervened in the development of the younger generation of the Yi Family, he was willing to provide resources for them.

The promised Prayers to Heaven’s Tears were the best proof!

Yi Han knew well how precious Prayers to Heaven’s Tears were; he himself had no way to acquire them.

“Little Wood and Xiao Yan thinking of Mingchen is truly a blessing for Mingchen.”

“Since Master Yun Tian and Master Wu Xin have contacted me, let me take them there.”

“I reckon in a day or two, the chairman of the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association will also arrive at the Dragon Rising Federation. They both are keen on observing how the association handles issues in secrecy.”

“If the association doesn’t handle the issues well, they said they would personally intervene and then personally express their apologies to you.”

These words were pleaded to Yi Han by Yang Paiyun and Du Rui, who wanted to demonstrate their stance to Fang Mu in this way.

Fang Mu did not accept this offer upon hearing it, but instead, his tone took a slightly displeased turn as he spoke.

“Uncle Yi, I believe I have already mentioned that this matter is in the past, so why keep bringing it up?”

“If Master Yun Tian and Master Wu Xin are coming just for this matter, then don’t bother. I would prefer if they come to make friends instead.”

The first part of Fang Mu’s statement made Yi Han’s breath catch, but the latter half completely eased Yi Han’s mind.

Yi Han contacted Fang Mu about this matter because he owed a favor to those two masters, running errands on their behalf.

If Fang Mu did not allow them to come, wouldn’t that mean all his efforts were in vain?

Now that Fang Mu expressed his intent to befriend Yang Paiyun and Du Rui, and by telling this to them, one could imagine how happy they would be upon hearing the news.

Yi Han hadn’t had much contact with Fang Mu, and he feared that over time, as Fang Mu’s identity as a Saint Creator’s disciple became more apparent, he might become arrogant and unbridled.

Now it seems he was worrying unnecessarily!
