Fenshui Town, Zhou Family.

In a side hall.

Fang Hong and the others sat on chairs.

In the open space before them, numerous boxes were laid out.

"In addition to the Water Origin Spirit Liquid that Mr. Fang collected earlier, there's also the flesh and blood of the giant python we found outside."

"The spoils from this operation are all here."

After taking stock, Zhou Chengyuan looked at the group and said.

"There are five Water Spirit Ganoderma, and a total of twenty-six precious herbs such as Heart-Chilling Grass and Jade Bud."

"Mr. Fang, Gang Leader Wu, Town Chief Zhang, would you like to recount them?"

Upon hearing this, they all shook their heads.

"There's no need. I trust Elder Zhou on this."

Zhang Wenbin said with a light laugh.

When they returned earlier, Zhang Wenbin had received the news and was already waiting at the dock.

So he had come along to the Zhou Family.

"I don't care how you divide it, as long as I don't get shortchanged."

"Also, I said before that I don't need the Water Spirit Ganoderma, but you have to compensate me with precious herbs of equivalent value, preferably those that strengthen qi and blood."

"And it's about time you gave me the reward you promised me earlier."

Seeing that the others seemed to be preparing to exchange pleasantries, Fang Hong spoke up directly.

"Naturally."

The others quickly replied.

Then, seeing that Fang Hong didn't want to waste time, they immediately began dividing the spoils.

Finally, after a period of intense discussion, most of the precious herbs had been distributed.

The Water Origin Cave had also been agreed upon by the three families for joint use in the future.

Next were the five Water Spirit Ganoderma, the most important items for them.

If divided under normal circumstances, it would likely be one plant per person, with Fang Hong receiving two.

However, Fang Hong had already stated that he could forgo the Water Spirit Ganoderma.

The three were vying for the remaining two plants.

Then, the three began to argue more fiercely, neither willing to give up the Water Spirit Ganoderma.

Their bickering gave Fang Hong a headache.

Seeing this, Fang Hong frowned and spoke again.

"Alright, stop arguing. You've been arguing for so long without any resolution."

"Since that's the case, listen to me."

"Of the remaining two Water Spirit Ganoderma, one goes to the Zhou Family Head, and he will provide you with additional compensation."

"As for the last one, you two can discuss amongst yourselves later who gets it, alright?"

Fang Hong said, looking at the three.

It was completely different for three people to fight over two items compared to two people fighting over one.

The latter would clearly make it easier to reach a consensus.

Hearing Fang Hong's words, Wu Pengjing and Zhang Wenbin exchanged glances, and then both nodded.

As for Zhou Chengyuan, his old face was already beaming with a brilliant smile.

An extra Water Spirit Ganoderma meant he could provide more compensation to a junior to improve their roots.

"Elder Zhou Family Head, look, isn't it time to give me the token now?"

Fang Hong said to Zhou Chengyuan at this moment.

Hearing Fang Hong mention a token, Wu Pengjing and Zhang Wenbin on the side looked up in surprise.

"It's just a transaction with Elder Zhou Family Head, unrelated to this operation."

Seeing their surprised expressions, Fang Hong explained.

"Of course."

Zhou Chengyuan, at this moment, was straightforward and made no attempt to deliberately delay.

"Mr. Fang, please wait for me for a moment."

After speaking, Zhou Chengyuan left the side hall.

"Mr. Fang, about the token you mentioned earlier, what exactly is it that makes you value it so much?"

With only three people left in the side hall, Wu Pengjing asked curiously.

"It's nothing much, really. It's just that I plan to join the Star River Sect later."

"And the Zhou family patriarch happens to have a token from an outer sect elder of the Star River Sect, which will be of some help to me."

"In exchange, if any of his Zhou family descendants want to join the Star River Sect later, I'll help them with the arrangements."

Fang Hong didn't hide anything and stated it directly.

There was no need to conceal such a matter.

Because even if he didn't say it, Zhou Chengyuan would definitely reveal it afterward.

How could that cunning old fox, Zhou Chengyuan, miss such a good opportunity to leverage influence?

He figured that as soon as he left Fenshui Town, and after Mr. Fang entered the Star River Sect, the news that he would help the Zhou family's descendants join the sect would

be immediately relayed to the ears of those two people.

So when Zhang Wenbin asked, Fang Hong simply told him.

Hearing Fang Hong's words, both of them were surprised.

"That old guy is really good at hiding things, to think he had a token from the Star River Sect."

"We've never heard anything about it before."

The two exchanged glances continuously.

After a while, they saw Zhou Chengyuan walk in holding a small box.

Seeing this, Fang Hong's gaze immediately sharpened, and he stared intently at the small box.

"Mr. Fang, this is the token that the outer sect elder named Xu Wenfei once gifted to our Zhou family."

Zhou Chengyuan opened the lid of the small box in his hand and then handed it to Fang Hong.

Fang Hong took it and looked.

Inside the box lay a Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant, entirely emerald green, with the character "Xu" intaglio carved in the center.

"Good, good, good."

Fang Hong touched the jade pendant, a smile on his face.

With this token, his chances of entering the Star River Sect greatly increased.

The path ahead was clear, how could he not be happy?

"Patriarch Zhou, I will fulfill my promise to you. When I enter the Star River Sect, you can come to me when your Zhou family descendants wish to become disciples."

"I will definitely help you navigate the arrangements."

Fang Hong put the jade pendant back, closed the lid, and said with a smile, looking at Zhou Chengyuan.

"Everyone, I will be staying in Fenshui Town for a few more days. I hope you can deliver my reward and the precious medicine you owe me as soon as possible."

"I'm eager to go back and test the effects of the Water Origin Spirit Liquid, so I'll take my leave now."

With the token in hand, Fang Hong didn't want to waste any more time here, so he got up, cupped his hands, and bid farewell.

"Since that's the case, this old man won't keep Mr. Fang any longer."

"Farewell, Mr. Fang."

"We bid you farewell, Mr. Fang!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chengyuan and the other two stood up and respectfully sent him off.

After leaving the Zhou family, Fang Hong immediately headed towards the Xuan Yue Inn.

He was indeed very curious now about the effects of the Water Origin Spirit Liquid.

Why else would his body have such a strong craving for it?

Additionally, he had to seize the time to cultivate.

He still had fourteen cultivation techniques waiting for him to practice.

Once he cultivated all fourteen cultivation techniques to the perfect realm, his strength would definitely see a significant improvement.

Meanwhile, at a tea stall outside the Zhou family residence, a man in a gray tight-fitting outfit watched Fang Hong's departing figure, then directly paid for his tea and unhurriedly followed him.
