"Looking for a natural treasure to improve Footwork Talent? However, it is not easy to find."
Fang Han frowned.
There are heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can change the root and bones, and there are heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can change Sword Art Talent. Naturally, there are also heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can change Footwork Talent.
As far as he knew, there was a monster named "Howling Moon Spirit Deer" known for its extreme speed, and its antlers were a genius treasure that could improve Body Movement Talent.
Unfortunately, only True Disciple disciples can access the secret records in the sect.
This kind of spiritual deer is hard to find and has not appeared in Qingyang Prefecture for hundreds of years.
There is no trace, and there is little hope of finding it.
"In comparison, it is more feasible to activate the seven-level increase of Footwork Talent."
Fang Han's brows couldn't help but frown again.
To activate the seven-level increase of Footwork Talent, ten million taels of silver are required, and it is not easy to get enough.
The previous two times were through looting Chu Feng's subordinate forces and finding a Millennium Ginseng plant. Both methods were almost unrepeatable.
"Ten million taels..."
Fang Han's fingertips tapped Flowing Wind Sword's sword hilt unconsciously.
The reserves of gold and silver in this world far exceed those of previous generations. In addition, there are many priceless treasures. Tens of millions of taels of silver are nothing to top forces or individuals.
But it is still quite difficult for him who is currently only a disciple of Tianjiao True Disciple and has not yet controlled the sect's resources.
Just as his thoughts were swirling, there was a sound of slight footsteps.
Maid Qui Lan Holding an ordinary wooden box the size of a palm in his hand, he walked forward lightly and saluted respectfully:
"Senior brother, your practice is over."
"Hmm."
Fang Han nodded slightly, her eyes falling on the wooden box in her hand.
"Senior brother, this is the share sent by various forces affiliated to your name last month, totaling 320,000 taels."
Qui Lan presented the wooden box with both hands.
"320,000 taels?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Fang Han's eyes. Although he knew that he could get a lot of money every month from the affiliation share, he never expected that just one month's affiliation share would be a full 320,000 taels.
It's enough to buy a whole street of shops in some small towns.
With the status of Tianjiao True Disciple, he really brings in money.
He took the wooden box and took it heavily.
Opening the lid of the box, there was a stack of brand new banknotes neatly stacked inside.
The smallest denomination is only one thousand taels, and the larger ones include five thousand taels or even ten thousand taels of large-denomination silver notes. They are in a thick pile and exude a faint aroma of ink.
"Most of these forces only started to be officially affiliated in the middle of last month. How come they got their share this month?"
Fang Han looked at Qui Lan and asked.
There are currently 27 affiliated forces under his name, but most of them were only formally established in the middle of last month, and the affiliations are less than a month old.
According to usual practice, the revenue sharing should not be seen until next month.
Qui Lan heard this, pursed his lips and smiled, and explained:
"According to common sense, this is indeed the case, but now, senior brother, you are the proud True Disciple, with a great reputation and unlimited potential. These forces are looking forward to making friends with you, so they naturally have to be more active."
"Sending the share in advance not only shows sincerity, but also hopes that you can remember their 'feelings'."
Her meaning is very clear. These forces are interested in Fang Han's current status and potential, and are taking the initiative to show their goodwill and invest in the future.
Fang Han heard a flash of understanding in his eyes.
His eyes glanced at the thick pile of banknotes in the box again, and his heart moved slightly.
An idea that he had thought about before, but gave up because of his lack of identity, popped into his mind like lightning flashing in the dark -
Borrow money!
As the arrogant True Disciple, I can borrow money from these affiliated forces who are eager to make friends and curry favor with me, and use it to unlock Footwork Talent's seven-level increase.
Each of the twenty-seven forces lent an average of three to four hundred thousand taels of silver, which added up to just over ten million taels!
Three to four hundred thousand taels is naturally not a small amount for these forces that can gain a foothold in the county.
But if you grit your teeth, it's not completely impossible to get it out.
For them, lending three to four hundred thousand taels in exchange for favors and a closer relationship with a prodigy True Disciple, this deal may not be uneconomical.
As for how to pay back the money?
It's very simple, just gradually deduct it from the future monthly dividends!
For these forces, repayment is guaranteed and they do not lose everything.
For him, he can obtain the huge amount of money needed to open Talent Amplification in advance, greatly advancing the process of improving his strength!
'Invest in advance?... Since they are willing to invest, then I will give them a greater opportunity to 'invest'.'
Fang Han's eyes flashed, and he made up his mind instantly.
He looked at Qui Lan, his tone was calm but with an unquestionable meaning:
"Qui Lan."
"Senior brother, please give me your instructions."
Qui Lan saw Fang Han's solemn expression, so he quickly stopped his smile and responded respectfully.
"You do something for me."
Fang Han said slowly.
"In my name, I will borrow three to four hundred thousand taels of silver from each of the twenty-seven forces currently affiliated with my name."
"It is stated that the borrowed amount will be deducted from their future monthly dividends month by month until it is paid off."
Qui Lan's delicate body trembled slightly.
Each family borrows three to four hundred thousand taels, so twenty-seven families borrow about ten million taels.
This is an exaggerated sum of money!
She subconsciously wanted to ask, why does the senior brother suddenly need such a huge sum of money?
Buy a magic weapon? Buy the peerless Danyao? Or is there another use for it?
But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed the doubts hard.
As Maid, the most important thing is your duty.
Since the senior brother gave the order, he naturally had his reasons, and all he had to do was to get things done.
"Yes, senior brother! Qui Lan understands!"
She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and responded solemnly.
"I will draft a letter immediately and send someone to deliver it to each house."
"Well, go ahead and be more sincere in your words, but don't force or force me. If you are willing, I, Fang Han, will remember this favor."
Fang Han added.
"Yes!"
Qui Lan bowed again, turned around and left quickly.
In the afternoon, there was a gentle knock on True Transmission Courtyard No. 35 Annex's courtyard door.
A disciple wearing a handyman's uniform and with a calm aura stood respectfully outside the door, holding a huge package tightly wrapped in thick oilcloth and still exuding the slightest bit of cold air in his hands.
"Senior Brother Fang, disciple Deacon ordered me to send you some Monster Beast Meat."
The handyman disciple said with awe in his voice.
Fang Han heard the sound and walked out of the courtyard, his eyes fell on the huge package, and he nodded slightly.
At the beginning of each month, True Disciple disciples can receive a large amount of contribution points and rare resources.
But on weekdays, True Transmission Courtyard will occasionally deliver some extra high-quality ingredients or cultivation aids to you True Disciple based on the inventory situation.
Although it is far less generous than at the beginning of the month, it still shows the preferential treatment given to True Disciple disciples.
"Good work."
Fang Han motioned to the attendant beside him to take the package.
The handyman disciples bowed and bowed before leaving.
The attendant carefully placed the package on the stone table in the courtyard, unwrapped the outer layer of oilcloth, and revealed the huge piece of meat packed with ice inside.
The meat is bright red in color, the texture is as fine as marble, and the fat is evenly distributed like snowflakes.
Even under the cover of ice, you can still feel the power of pure and gentle Qi and blood faintly exuding, with a unique fragrance of vegetation.
Compared with this piece of Monster Beast Meat, rare meats such as snowflake beef and bluefin tuna in the previous life are simply incomparable.
Of course, since he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, he had never tasted such top-notch ingredients.
"Senior brother, it should be the hind leg meat of 'Azure Wood Demon Ox'!"
The attendant identified it and reported to Fang Han with some uncertainty.
"It's indeed Azure Wood Demon Ox's hindquarters!"
Fang Han recognized it and nodded affirmatively.
Azure Wood Demon Ox is not as strong as Ninth-rank middle stage warriors, but its meat is delicious and contains pure Qi and blood. It is highly sought after by warriors, so large numbers like Azure Profound Sect will be artificially bred.
The reason why he recognized it was because he had been tasked with guarding Beast Garden, and one of the guarded subjects was Azure Wood Demon Ox.
It's just that I was just an ordinary disciple at that time. Not to mention eating Azure Wood Demon Ox meat, I couldn't even get a hair.
Now that he has become True Disciple, he has the opportunity to eat this rare delicacy. He truly understands the difference in his current status.
"It's a lot, I can't finish it by myself!"
Looking at this huge piece of meat weighing dozens of kilograms, Fang Han pondered for a moment.
It is midsummer now, and the weather is hot. Even if it is cooled with ice, it will not last long.
I can't eat it all by myself, so it would be a pity to waste this good food.
He thought of several old friends with whom he had good friendships in Zi Courtyard, his heart moved slightly, and he gave instructions to his attendants.
"You go to Zi Courtyard and invite five Yun Qianyue, Xiao Chen, Li Feng, Huang Ling'er, and Shi Meng. Tell them that we got some good Azure Wood Demon Ox meat in our hospital and invite them to come and get together tonight."
"Yes, senior brother!"
The attendant took the order and left quickly.
As night falls, lights are lit one after another in the Azure Profound Sect.
Among No. 35 Annex, a Round Table has already been laid out, and there are plates after plates of dishes made with Azure Wood Demon Ox meat on the table.
The chef was specially invited from True Transmission Courtyard restaurant, so the taste is naturally excellent.
The rich aroma of meat mixed with the fresh air of grass and trees fills the air, making your fingers twitch.
Fang Han is sitting at the main seat, and five people, Yun Qianyue, Xiao Chen, Li Feng, Huang Ling'er, and Shi Meng, are sitting around.
Yun Qianyue was dressed in purple, rarely wearing a veil, revealing a face that was as beautiful as expected.
Xiao Chen looked a little familiar. This was not the first time he had come to Fang Han's other courtyard.
Li Feng's temperament is as sharp as ever, and his aura seems to be more concentrated than before.
Huang Ling'er has a beautiful smile and remains lively.
Shi Meng still looks that simple and strong, his eyes sparkling as he looks at the dishes.
"Senior Brother Fang, this Azure Wood Demon Ox meat is indeed worthy of its reputation. Just the aroma alone tells you that it is extraordinary!"
Shi Meng rubbed his hands and chuckled.
"Thanks to Senior Brother Fang, we are blessed today."
"Senior Brother Fang, this yard is really nice."
Huang Ling'er answered with a smile, looking curiously at the elegantly decorated courtyard, his eyes full of envy.
Compared with the courtyard of Fang Han, their residence in Zi Courtyard is simply extremely shabby.
"No need to be polite, please help yourself."
Fang Han smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks, took the lead in picking up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
The meat is tender and elastic, melting in your mouth. The plump meat juice mixed with the power of pure Qi and blood explodes in your mouth. Warmth flows to the limbs and bones, making the whole body feel comfortable.
"Really delicious!"
Everyone moved their chopsticks and after tasting it, they couldn't help but admire it.
After three drinks, the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
A few people chatted while eating, and the topic gradually shifted from strange things from all over the world to some recent things that happened in Qingyang Prefecture.
Xiao Chen talked about a dispute between the Chamber of Commerce, Huang Ling'er mentioned the rumor that the remains of a great demon were found somewhere, and Shi Meng was full of praise for a newly opened restaurant in Prefecture City.
At this time, Yun Qianyue, who had been quietly tasting the food, gently put down his chopsticks, scanned the crowd with his bright eyes, and spoke in a clear and clear voice with a hint of imperceptible solemnity.
"I heard that several warriors were killed near Gutong Town, hundreds of miles to the west of the Azure Profound Sect. Their death was quite strange. All the blood was gone from their bodies, and their bodies were as dry as dry wood."
She paused, seeing everyone's eyes drawn to her, and continued.
"I suspect... that it was done by a warrior who practices magic arts."
