Upon hearing Fang Kang's words, Gu Xi couldn't help but ask.

"A mortal enemy?"

Gu Xi had encountered this kind of thing before; Liu Kai of the Poisoned Lich Liu Family, had also encountered this situation.

However, that was an internal family conflict. Such things happen quite often for the sake of the family's survival.

What is Fang Kang's current situation? Fang Kang shook his head at Gu Xi's question.

"Yes, my mortal enemy who's on the same path as me. I'm not afraid to tell you, we're on the same route, all for the chance to level up 15 levels."

This opportunity was given by my teacher; whoever reaches level 10 first gets it.

Gu Xi understood immediately; this was the legacy of the Academy Faction.

As for why there's only one chance...

Don't you understand?

There is only one person who can pass on the mantle.

If Fang Kang misses this opportunity, he will never be able to reach level 15 unless he changes his path.

Gu Xi had witnessed Fang Kang's previous strength.

His potential is quite good.

If no one interferes, reaching level 15 is not a problem, and even level 20 is a possibility.

For Fang Kang, this situation was tantamount to cutting off his path forward.

He would naturally feel angry.

However, judging from Fang Kang's expression at this moment, Gu Xi could tell that Fang Kang's opponent was by no means weak.

Even that rival was lurking all around Fang Kang, preventing him from ever getting close to success.

A glint flashed in Gu Xi's eyes, and he transmitted a message through his Mind's Eye, "These are the Building Blueprint I obtained. Take a look."

But on the surface, he said, "Could you help me check if this is real or fake, and also give me an estimate so I can put Auction House up for auction?"

Upon hearing Gu Xi's words, Fang Kang understood that Gu Xi was willing to help him.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything to express his gratitude. Instead, he said with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I'm very familiar with these kinds of Building Blueprint. I won't give you a wrong price."

So the two pretended to have Fang Kang help them with the valuation, while Fang Kang was actually carefully selecting the Building Blueprint he wanted.

"The Building Blueprint of the golden tent you have here are not complete. Only these three Building Blueprint can be considered as related to the golden tent."

The Silver Tent, the Bronze Tent, and the Zenith Tent.

However, those trained there are Naga with altered mindsets, which don't align with the proper approach.

However, I need this as a prerequisite, which is fine.

On the contrary, your Building Blueprint for the Cloud Palace have begun to go in different directions. Look here, the Nebula Palace, the Dark Cloud Palace, the White Cloud Palace, and the Dewlight Palace —these seven different Cloud Palace represent seven completely different ideas.

The Nebula Palace is the one that best suits my needs.

But I want the other types too.

Adding to the three from the Silver Tent, there are a total of ten Building Blueprint.

"No problem."

Gu Xi didn't expect Fang Kang to ask for so much at once, but that's fine too, as it allows him to ask for a higher price.

"My condition is that I will buy these ten tickets, but you cannot sell them to others for five years."

Gu Xi smiled upon hearing Fang Kang's request.

"Sure, but it'll cost extra."

"So, this is a copy that you made yourself. Unless a professional architect makes it again, this thing can only be used once."

I can only offer half price for something like this at most, but if you're willing to wait five years for me, I'll buy it at the price of the genuine product.

Three Building Blueprint of the same caliber Silver Tent, plus seven Building Blueprint of the same caliber as the Cloud Palace.

Gu Xi had no objection to Fang Kang's offer.

He was simply curious whether Fang Kang had that many Building Blueprint. "Do you have enough money?"

"I have enough Silver Tent of the same level, and I have prepared two Cloud Palace of the same level. I originally thought two would be enough, but I didn't expect you to have so many."

So I'll trade this for it.

As Fang Kang spoke, he quickly replaced several of the Building Blueprint that Gu Xi had taken out.

Gu Xi flipped through the Building Blueprint saw the few that Fang Kang had replaced. He nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that Fang Kang had already made preparations before he came.

He was somewhat surprised when Gu Xi produced seven Building Blueprint for the Cloud Palace.

But in other respects, he was really well prepared.

Pale Temple (Large): Construct a Pale Temple (Large Building) in a city using 6000 resources, 20 units of stone, 20 units of wood, and 20 units of metal.

Once completed, it can train two Pale Knight per week.

Before construction can begin, you must first construct a Level 2 Magic Tower (Core Building), a Level 2 Blacksmith Shop (Core Building), a Tomb or Mausoleum (large building), a Level 2 Armory (medium building), and a Level 2 Library (medium building).

This Pale Temple was the Building Blueprint Gu Xi fell in love with at first sight.

This is clearly also Building Blueprint for training Death Knight to replace directions.

However, it is obvious that this is a different development path from all of Gu Xi's current Crimson Knight and Netherblue Knight.

However, Gu Xi didn't examine it closely and didn't know how this Pale Knight was made, but one thing was certain: it could definitely be used to exchange for Building Blueprint like the Silver Tent that Gu Xi had just taken out.

The next two items are not related to the undead.

After all, Fang Kang's side doesn't produce many things related to the undead; one Pale Temple is already his limit.

In addition, Gu Xi said that he had already obtained the complete set of tower Building Blueprint, so Fang Kang's most valuable possession was actually not worth mentioning. He could only select some Building Blueprint from other forces to give to Gu Xi.

Fortunately, Fang Kang remembered that Gu Xi was following the Undead Road. Even when choosing Building Blueprint from other factions, he would lean towards darkness and the undead.

[Bloody Demon Pool (Large): Construct a Bloody Demon Pool (Large Building) in the city using 6000 resources, 30 units of stone, and 30 units of metal.

Once completed, it can train two Bloody Giant Snake per week.

Before construction begins, you must first construct a Level 1 Magic Tower (Core Building), a Level 3 Blacksmith Shop (Core Building), a Level 1 Flying Dragon Forest (large building), a Level 2 Armory (medium building), and a Level 1 Altar (medium building).

[Dark Cave (Large): Construct a Dark Cave (Large Building) in the city using 6000 resources, 40 units of stone, and 20 units of wood.

Once completed, it can train two Dark Giant per week.

Before construction begins, you must first construct a Level 1 Magic Tower (Core Building), a Level 4 Blacksmith Shop (Core Building), a Level 1 Cliff Eagle Nest (large building), a Level 2 Armory (medium building), and a Level 2 Slaughterhouse (medium building).
