Chapter 334: The Deal

Chapter 334: The Deal

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The bigger scheme of things had been settled. All that was left were but the small details.

With Jin Xing by his side, Fang Yuan patrolled the spiritual lands and warehouse. He left the message on the other party’s inscription plate and the deal was thus formalised.

The whole 99 Golden Suns Gigantic Array roared on. The level of rights had shifted, and the transition from old to new was completed nevertheless.

Jin Xing did not stay long and left after saying goodbye.

After all, he was the previous master and staying on would make him feel awkward.

“Would I be calling the shots on this prosperous land within 10 years?”

Fang Yuan sat in the hall and suddenly remembered his spiritual land on the Green Peak.

“Now that I’m here at Da Qian, I need a temporary place to settle down in!”

“Greetings master!”

At this point, the whole management team entered and fell to the ground in a deep bow. They looked frightened.

After all, the guardian had complete control over them and they had no means of retaliation. The guardian could easily suppress their combined strength of around five hundred.

“Mm, you may all rise!”

Five hundred men were probably not enough to farm a thousand hectares of land and to work a gold mine. But it was different if the five hundred men included three hundred martial artists who had broken through the cultivation levels and two Wu Zongs.

Only the dream masters of Da Qian would employ martial artists to become miners and farmers.

“The servants Meng Tian and Meng Guang, at master’s service!”

The two Wu Zongs stood up straight with their hands clasped, their eyes staring ahead unflinchingly.

On the Yuanwu mainland, the both of them would undoubtedly become overlords. Even in the Da Qian world, they could obtain significant wealth. However, in this situation, they were but servants who took orders without question. This was indeed very strange and a huge pity.

“The spiritual energy in Da Qian has always been dense to the extreme. The Golden Sun Prosperous Land is so, with elemental energy so thick that it might fall as spiritual rain. Living in the prosperous land would increase one’s longevity and even lead to a higher probability of achieving breakthroughs…”

Fang Yuan glanced about and pointed casually.

“Since it has always been you two in charge, you shall stay in your appointments!”

“Thank you, Master!”

The two Wu Zongs were pleased and bowed repeatedly.

After all, they had gained the approval of their new master, and their authority had been cemented.

Meng Tian was in charge of agricultural affairs while Meng Guang was in charge of the mines.

“Mining will carry on as per normal. What about the spiritual fields?”

Fang Yuan knocked on the armrest of his chair.

“What kind of spiritual rice are we growing these days?”

Meng Tian immediately replied.

“Master, it is the Qinghua Rice!”

The Qinghua Rice was a spiritual plant of the Mystery Grade and regular consumption would build up one’s elemental energy. It was good for spiritual knights.

But it was still a lesser crop compared to the Yellow Grain Rice.

“Mm, I do not care about the other fields, but set aside one hundred mu of land from my own one thousand mu for the cultivation of Yellow Grain Rice!”

Fang Yuan rubbed his chin as he gave his orders.

“Yellow…Yellow Grain Rice? Master, I’m afraid that this cannot be done!”

Meng Tian was flustered.

“The Yellow Grain Rice requires farmlands of very high fertility, and the Golden Sun Prosperous Land does not satisfy the requirements. Also, Yellow Jade Fertiliser will have to be used monthly, and we are lacking in this resource, not to mention the technical expertise…”

Meng Tian was an honest man who did not mince his words, and several of his colleagues standing by rolled their eyes at him.

“I know all of these…but this is my private land, and your concerns are uncalled for!”

Fang Yuan might have been suppressing dissent, but in truth, if the Yellow Grain Rice could be cultivated casually, the Realm Alliance would have no need to put in their trade requests.

Perhaps only the master of the Hollow had the means to satisfy the various criteria.

But Fang Yuan himself was different!

He had advanced botany skills, and this was his chance to innovate. Besides, he might even be able breed plant types of a higher quality.

“Your servant knows his mistake!”

Meng Tian had broken out into a cold sweat after hearing Fang Yuan’s reply and apologised profusely.

“Never mind…the arrangements of the tenants can go on as usual. But I will convert my 6 hectares of land into an experimental field!”

“Yes, Master!”

Meng Tian and the other workers were perplexed. Was master intending to go down into the fields himself? But…

A tea room in the Realm.

“Many thanks for helping us out in the Hollow, Brother Fang!”

The Ye sisters sat down with their legs crossed.

“How can we ever hope to repay your kindness? Let us offer you some tea as a form of gratitude!”

Fang Yuan glanced at Ye Shuhua. She was dressed like a martial artist while her younger sister Ye Shumin was in her lady clothing. They both looked stunning in their own ways.

“That day, when you got lost in the void, I was worried that Brother Fang might have gotten into trouble. But I also know that luck is on your side and that you will always be able to turn things to your favour.”

Ye Shuhua’s features were gentle and she gazed at Fang Yuan with an expression laced with complex emotions.

“Hehe…I am indeed fortunate!”

Fang Yuan rubbed his nose.

“Have you found the things that I need?”

“The information that you require about the Golden Sun Prosperous Land and other things are all here!”

Ye Shuhua smiled and passed him a jade disc. Although the Ye family was in dire straits, they were still able to gather information easily. However, she could not resist giving him a caveat.

“The cultivation of the Yellow Grain Rice has stringent requirements. Unless you grow them in the Hollow, you will sustain losses. Only the Da Qian royals can afford to bear that kind of expenditure…I would suggest that you make other plans!”

“But…this should be worth a try anyway!”

Fang Yuan naturally would not admit that he was confident of succeeding. He had revealed the fact that he knew the secret technique to growing the Yellow Grain Rice.

Ye Shuhua forced a smile.

“Then I wish Brother Fang all the best in your endeavours!”

Cultivating Yellow Grain Rice was not an impossible task. Dozens of dream masters had tried to before. But the effort required was more than the potential returns. Nevertheless, Ye Shuhua saw that Fang Yuan had made up his mind, and she let him be.

‘He is a proud man and needs to suffer before he comes to his senses…’

The three of them walked out of the tea room. Ye Shuhua kept the smile plastered on her face.

“Guardian of the Prosperous Land is indeed a good appointment. But to stay in the position requires one to take note of several things. The rock tablet of the Realm Alliance also records relevant learning experiences. You have to check it out!”

Engaged in pleasant conversation, they arrived before the rock tablet of the Realm Alliance.

“Hmph!”

Fang Yuan immediately noticed the jealous stare of a young man in nice clothes. The fact that he did not rush forward immediately showed that he was still rational.

“Hmm?”

Fang Yuan looked around and settled his gaze on Ye Shuhua.

“Have you gotten yourself into some kind of trouble?”

‘Yes…’

Ye Shuhua leaned in closer to Fang Yuan and contacted him mentally.

‘Help us!’

It was then Fang Yuan realised that the sisters each held onto one of his arms. Their grips were tight and he could feel their soft and warm bodies.

‘What can I get out of you two using me as a shield? I’ll get angry if there isn’t a good deal. Don’t think that I wouldn’t dare to slap the two of you in public. If I do that, everything would be resolved.”

Fang Yuan adopted a cold countenance.

‘What do you want?’

Ye Shuhua clenched her teeth in silence. She had not thought Fang Yuan to be this ungentlemanly.

“Get the Red Night 9 Smelting Technique for me, and I’ll deal with him for you, regardless of whoever is backing him up!”

The young dream master was not even at the illusionary divine stage of training, but the Ye sisters were still so wary of him. He probably had a powerful backer.

But Fang Yuan had a backer too.

When power is not made use of, it expires. Fang Yuan was not on the best of terms with the Elder Smelter, and he needed another plan.

“The Red Night 9 Smelting Technique?”

Ye Shuhua was shocked by his demand but she gave in anyway.

“Fine!”

“Sign the Realm Spirit Contract or I won’t believe you!”

“Fine!”

After Ye Shuhua agreed to his demands, Fang Yuan immediately pulled the Ye sisters close to his body and shot a challenging stare at the young man.

“You…”

The young man’s face turned as red as a beetroot. He looked as though he had suffered all the injustice in the world and turned around to leave.

“You can let go now!”

Ye Shuhua’s cheeks were flushed and she exclaimed hurriedly.

She did feel a slight attraction to Fang Yuan but it was extremely awkward to be in this situation with him, especially with her sister present as well.

“Haha…maybe you can tell me about his background now?”

Fang Yuan breathed his question into Ye Shuhua’s ear. Although he did it unthinkingly, he was making her nervous.

“His name is Li Bai. His grandfather is a dream master of the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage and has some power in the Alliance, that’s all…he thinks that with the amount of influence he has, he can possess us…”

Ye Shuhua glared at Fang Yuan before continuing.

“Don’t worry, you won’t be killed!”

“But it is still a troublesome matter! Remember to send me the payment…”

Fang Yuan then let go of the Ye sisters with a gentle smile on his face. It was as if he had become a different person.

“This fellow…”

As she watched Fang Yuan walk into the distance, Ye Shuhua did not know what to feel.

“This is a wily person. He becomes a monster when self-interest is involved. A pity, but he is not a good match for us…”

As she heaved a sigh, she noticed that her sister was blushing and she became flustered.

“Sister, don’t tell me that you’ve fallen for him? Don’t be naive. Just because he saved your life once. You will regret this…”

Ye Shimin bit her lip and questioned her sister instead.

“But sister…isn’t he the only person who can help us regain the honour of our family?”

“You…”

Ye Shuhua was surprised and a strange look came over her face.

To think that her sister, a lady sheltered from young, had grown up so quickly following the incident in the Hollow.

“Seems like there is another way to mastering the Red Night 9 Smelting Technique. To think that the Ye Family is this resourceful…she actually agreed so readily. I was expecting bargaining to be involved…”

In truth, although Liu Mengmei was already conducting a search, Fang Yuan wanted an additional form of assurance.

The heavenly evil force in his dream elements was no simple matter. No matter the potential opportunities contained within, to him, a force that cannot be controlled should be destroyed immediately.

“Also…we can’t let Liu Mengmei do everything. Too large a goal would lead to too much activity. If we expose anything, everything will be for nought…”

Fang Yuan’s body dissipated, and he returned to the real world.

When he walked out of the hall, the fragrance of the spiritual fields interacted with his senses. In the mist, he could see some of the farmers working hard.

Fang Yuan overlooked the scene and exhaled contentedly.
