Chapter 168: Human Greed Is Like a Snake Swallowing an Elephant! (Two in One)
Fang Mu's expression did not change much after hearing this.
Fang Mu had already expected that many people would fight for the sacred object, the Cherry Blossom Refined Carp.
There is no reason not to take good things when capable people encounter them.
Fang Mu now has the resources and ability. As long as it is a beast that Fang Mu likes, even if Fang Mu himself cannot make a contract, Fang Mu will take a photo of it.
Those auspicious beasts are praised by these people and then worshipped on the altar. Even the lowest-end auspicious beasts can be sold at a high price.
As a sacred object, the Cherry Blossom Refined Carp can increase the growth rate of the beastmaster's spiritual power, and it can also be regarded as a medium-level auspicious sign.
Koi is generally associated with good luck in terms of meaning.
Zhang Qing, the assistant of Grandmaster Shuoyang, has already represented the power of a Grandmaster.
It makes no difference to Fang Mu whether he fights with one Grandmaster or with multiple Grandmasters.
It's just a matter of fighting against the enemy.
As long as the fight is not fought through fighting, Fang Mu will not be defeated by anyone through economic means!
"Brother Lu, this is not a big deal."
"We'll talk about it when you get to my breeding room!"
"I'm just a little curious. There has been no news from the Creator Guild headquarters about competing for the Cherry Blossom Refining Carp."
"Why is it suddenly involved now?"
Hearing Fang Mu's question, Lu Yuyu said uncertainly.
"Ziyuan has always been more informed than me."
"Ziyuan said that the Creator Guild headquarters suddenly decided to participate in the competition for the Cherry Blossom Refining Carp, and the quota was forcibly snatched from a Creator Master!"
"However, Grandmaster Xiaoxiang, who is in charge of the Creator Guild headquarters, has publicly stated that he will not participate in the competition for the sacred object Cherry Blossom Refining Carp."
"That's why the Creator Guild has distributed all three quotas on hand."
"Grandmaster Xiaoxiang is resolute and will not change his mind overnight."
Speaking of this, Lu Yuyu lowered his voice.
"It is rumored that Yi Han, the master of the Yi family, successfully took that step half a year ago."
"The Yi family has been on good terms with the Creator Guild in recent years, and Master Yi Han has been running to the headquarters of the Creator Guild every now and then."
"If Master Yi Han really became a Creator Grandmaster, it is very likely that he received the favor of Grandmaster Xiaoxiang."
"If Yi Han really became a Creator Grandmaster, the Yi family wants to obtain the Fallen Cherry Quenching Carp again."
"The Creator Guild is indeed worthy of taking back a competition quota that has already been issued for Yi Han!"
Although Lu Yuyu said it was a rumor, it was very convincing.
If it was an inaccurate rumor, Lu Yuyu would probably not tell him.
Since Lu Yuyu said it, then this rumor is at least 90% accurate.
At the critical moment of the competition, a second Creator Grandmaster suddenly appeared.
This made Fang Mu hesitate for a while.
Fang Mu was not hesitant about whether he could take the sacred object Fallen Cherry Quenching Carp when facing two Creator Grandmasters.
Instead, he was hesitating whether it was necessary for him to show off his talents for the sake of the Falling Cherry Refining Carp and let the two Grandmasters of Creation return home in defeat.
Lv Yuyu was originally very nervous.
Zhang Qing was only an assistant to a Grandmaster of Creation after all.
But the Yi family, who went through the channel of the Guild of Creators’ headquarters, most likely had a real Grandmaster of Creation behind them.
But Fang Mu’s attitude eased Lv Yuyu’s nervous mood.
Fang Mu was not panicked at all. He was so confident, and he must have the support of Grandmaster Qixing behind him!
Thinking that he would soon join the competition for the resources of the three Grandmasters of Creation, Lv Yuyu felt a kind of electric stimulation all over his body.
This kind of stimulation was much better than pulling Russell’s little hand!
…
In a small courtyard on the back mountain of the Scavenger Headquarters, a young man was reaching out with an extended brush.
He was brushing the body of a nearly 100-meter-long, strong and majestic red Tyrannosaurus.
The red Tyrannosaurus had a broken toe, which made every footprint of its right foot look a little strange.
The red Tyrannosaurus swung its tail in a doze, and a comfortable gurgling sound came out of its throat.
The occasional breath made the three flower walls planted on the wall of the scavenger headquarters not far away shrink.
It seemed to be quite afraid of this breath.
An old woman with wrinkles on her face and snow-white hair tied into a bun at the back of her head.
Leaning on a long-handled cane in her hand, she looked kindly at the boy who was brushing the body of the red Tyrannosaurus.
The old woman's back was straight, making the old woman's body still have an unconcealable heroic spirit even if she was old.
"Shang'er, stop brushing!"
"Every time you brush Chijia's body, you have to get wet. After brushing, Chijia just rolls in the mud and gets dirty again!"
"Grandma, I've been bathing Chijia since he was a child. Brushing for three hours each time is good for fitness!"
"Okay! We've brushed enough this time."
"Let Hongduan steam the water off Chijia's body!"
As he spoke, the short-haired black young man, who was not tall but very powerful, jumped off the body of the red Tyrannosaurus.
Then the flames ignited out of thin air the moment the young man's palm touched the ground.
In the flames like red satin, a divine elemental dragon with a body length of only five meters and skin as red as ruby cried crisply.
Then the flames like red ribbons spread forward out of thin air, igniting a gorgeous flame on the body of the red Tyrannosaurus.
It is much more dazzling than the sunset that can be touched by looking up at the outskirts of the royal capital.
Flame burning is fatal damage to other beasts.
But for this red tyrannosaurus, it was a treat, just like a drunken man walking into the steam room.
The red tyrannosaurus narrowed its eyes and let out a dragon roar in comfort.
The cow pythons that were preparing to ambush their prey by the stream in the back mountain hurriedly crawled back into the stream.
"Shang'er, your Red Satin Flame Dragon has successfully entered the sequence."
"I think your Red Satin Flame Dragon has a great chance that its bloodline will be upgraded to the level of the main dragon species when it is promoted to Sequence Eight!"
The young man who was called Shang'er shrugged upon hearing this.
"I'm not forcing it. Anyway, it's a sure thing that A'Dan will be promoted to the main dragon species when he sets foot in Sequence Seven."
"Grandma, you must be serious about recruiting apprentices this time, right?"
Hearing this, the old woman raised her hand and threw away the peach she had been holding in her right hand.
"When did grandma not look for an apprentice seriously?"
"It's just that you don't find a stable girlfriend no matter how old you are!"
Mo Shang just took a bite of the peach. Before he could admire the sweetness and crunchiness of the peach in his hand, he suddenly felt that the peach had no flavor.
Mo Shang casually threw the peach in his hand to the Red Satin Flame Dragon who was waiting for its owner to feed it, and then quickly changed the subject.
"Grandma, if you have such strict requirements for recruiting disciples every time, then you probably won't be able to recruit any disciples this time!"
"Alright, it's almost time. I'm going to meet the deacon sent by the Beastmaster Alliance!"
Looking at the young man's leaving figure, the mother of dragons sighed softly.
I don’t know if he is sighing that he can’t find an apprentice, or that his grandson has no partner.
The Dragon Royal Research Institute in the Royal Capital was also extremely lively at this time.
A middle-aged man with short hair wearing a plain golden robe was looking through the supply list in his hand.
After flipping through it, the short-haired middle-aged man handed the book in his hand to the old man beside him.
"Deacon Liu, take a look at the supplies I have prepared in the book."
"I have a set of test questions to come out soon, and I also need to review the naming of several beasts and mysterious patterns."
"Just help me bid according to the materials in the book!"
After speaking, the bald middle-aged man in a plain golden robe walked towards his study without looking back.
The old man known as Deacon Liu asked quickly when he saw this.
"Your Excellency Zhang Qing, just in case, I mean just in case!"
"The supplies in the book you gave me are not enough, what should I do?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qing turned to look at Liu Shumao and asked with a somewhat confused tone.
"If you can't afford it, it will naturally belong to someone else."
"Does it mean that apart from buying the materials sold by your Beastmaster Alliance, can you also rob them?"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Qing closed the study door, leaving Liu Shumao alone with an embarrassed look on his face.
This Zhang Qing is indeed as weird as the rumors!
I asked this because I was afraid that if I didn’t get it, I would be blamed in the end!
Liu Shumao originally thought it was a difficult job.
Now that there are restrictions on bidding with the resource list in hand, the job is much easier!
Even if he didn't actually take the photo, Zhang Qing couldn't blame himself.
Anyway, I’ve already asked the question before!
In the headquarters of the Builders Guild, which is also in the royal capital, a middle-aged woman wearing a simple and elegant dress and several antique hair accessories is looking at the conference room not far away with a frown.
Next to the woman is a fat aunt with a rich figure and fair skin, who looks like a noble lady at first glance.
Generally speaking, when people who take good care of their skin look so old, they are often really old.
I just use some expensive cosmetics to maintain my youthful appearance.
"Xinyi, there is no need for you to be so infatuated! You even went so far as to offend the guild for this matter!"
"It doesn't seem like a big deal to me!"
"If you were from the perspective of the guild, you would have made the current choice. No wonder Grandmaster Xiaoxiang!"
The woman called Xinyi looked at the smiling aunt beside her, and felt her heart become even more congested.
Originally, I couldn't say how disgusted I was with Grandmaster Xiaoxiang and the Founding Masters Guild.
After being said like this, it felt like he was completely outclassed by the Yi family!
Yi Han did become a founding master, but Yi Han did not personally come forward in this matter.
Only a few juniors from the Yi family found the executive vice president, and the executive vice president was in trouble for Yi Han's face.
So he took away the spot that should have belonged to him.
I have been working in the Builders Guild for more than twenty years and have contributed a lot to the Guild.
The more Gu Xinyi thought about it, the more she felt congested.
Although this matter was arranged by the Executive Vice President, it was impossible for Grandmaster Xiaoxiang to be completely unaware of this matter.
Grandmaster Xiaoxiang did not intervene, which was equivalent to acquiescing to such behavior.
Just when Gu Xinyi's heart was filled with emotions and she was a little irritable, Dan Liang, who was standing next to Gu Xinyi, chuckled and continued.
"It's true! It's as if we don't have the ability to be promoted to the Grand Master!"
"Yi Han is really overbearing in his actions. He has just become the founding grandmaster and he is already showing off!"
"Today I'm suppressing my sister, but tomorrow I don't know whose head I'll be climbing on again!"
When Gu Xinyi heard this, if it weren't for the fact that Shan Liang was nearly sixty years older than her, he was her elder and had given her a lot of help in her early years.
Gu Xinyi insisted on grabbing Shan Liang's ears and asked if Shan Liang was here to cause trouble!
Even though he knew that Shan Liang was a trouble-making sixth child, he always spoke in a weird and eccentric way.
Gu Xinyi couldn't help but feel angry.
"Ha! I want to see who will end up with a good thing like Luo Ying's Tempering Essence Carp!"
"The Yi family just gave birth to a founding grandmaster and it is so high-profile. It would be fine elsewhere."
"But the fight for the sacred object, the Falling Cherry Blossoms and Tempering Essence Carp, is related to the other two founding masters."
"Basically speaking, I don't even know what kind of strength Grandmaster Qixing has."
"A builder like Yi Han who has just entered the Grandmaster level is not qualified to compete with Qixing."
"Yi Han hasn't had time to prepare many master-level potions. I don't know how many forces will dare to compete with the Yi family in order to please Yi Han for his own sake."
After hearing Gu Xinyi's words, Shan Liang's small eyes narrowed even more.
"Master Shuoyang always scolds Zhang Qing more than he praises him."
"Zhang Qing has an eccentric temper but is very principled in his work. He will not seek help from his mentor just to fight for a foreign object."
"As for Jianmu, I'm really curious. How far can a founding master go for his disciples!?"
"Are you willing to break up with a newly promoted Grandmaster over this?"
Hearing Shan Liang's words, the expression on Gu Xinyi's face was somewhat surprised.
"Tear each other down? That's not the case!"
Shan Liang shook his head seriously after hearing this.
"Xinyi, think about it carefully, what does the Yi family lack most right now?"
Shan Liang didn't give Gu Xinyi any time to think before he continued.
"It's the foundation!"
"The sacred object Falling Cherry Blossoms Tempered Carp is on the list of sacred objects. It is a rare top-notch sacred object!"
"If the family can obtain one, we can build a quiet room for tempering spiritual power with this cherry blossom tempering carp as the center."
"A lot of people in the Yi family will benefit from this."
"I really can't think of any reason for the Yi family to give up this kind of material that increases their heritage!"
"And the Yi family is now rising strongly. What they fear most is that if their momentum weakens, they will become a laughing stock."
"The Yi family made a big show of announcing that they wanted to capture the Luo Ying Tempering Essence Carp, but in the end it was captured by Qixing's disciples."
"What an embarrassing and ridiculous thing this would be!"
Speaking of this, Shan Liang continued to ask Gu Xinyi.
"Then do you think Qixing will fight for this?"
Gu Xinyi was completely confused by Shan Liang's question.
But the more Gu Xinyi tasted Dan Liang's words, the more she felt that Shan Liang's words made sense.
I'm afraid that instead of grabbing the spot in their hands, the Yi family wants to use this to establish their prestige.
If Gu Xinyi was a Grandmaster, she would definitely not be willing to offend another Grandmaster for the sake of her disciples.
If it is only for one person, you can choose other holy objects. There is no need to kill the Sakura Tempering Essence Carp!
"I don't think Qixing can!"
Shan Liang continued to shake his head after hearing this.
"Xinyi, in addition to spending your time on mixing potions, you'd better make more boyfriends."
"When you are deceived more often or have children, you will understand why Qixing will definitely fight with the Yi family!"
"I heard that Qixing treats his disciples very well. Even the contemporary ladies of the She family in Ludu went to serve as guards for Qixing's disciples."
"Qixing's disciple is sixteen or seventeen years old this year. This age is when sacred objects are needed most."
"I would fight just for the sake of building Qixing, not to mention Qixing's reputation has just spread."
"When a founding master plans to spread his reputation, he probably has the intention of being born."
"Once we fail in the competition with the Yi family, it will definitely enhance the reputation of the Yi family and Yi Han's prestige."
"Even if you are not willing to be the stepping stone for the Yi family, how can Qixing be willing!?"
"So you don't have to be too upset. Maybe Qixing's disciple Jianmu will avenge you!"
Gu Xinyi heard this and prepared to pay attention to the next auction.
"Aunt Shan, have you heard what the purpose of this meeting is?"
Gu Xinyi was just angry before and didn't pay attention to what Yi Han was going to do when he came to the builder's headquarters in person.
Shan Liang rolled his eyes at Gu Xinyi when he heard this.
"Since thirty years ago, I reminded you not to call me Aunt Shan, but to call me Sister Shan!"
"Why can't you remember it now!?"
"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant."
"The Yi family has decided to spend a lot of money to acquire the Falling Cherry Blossoms Tempering Essence Carp. Isn't this why we hope that our Founders Guild will also take out the two Wanxiang Carps in our collection and bundle them with the Falling Cherry Blossoms Tempering Essence Carps."
"This is really a good plan!"
There was a turmoil in the headquarters of the Royal Capital Architects Guild, but Fang Mu's workshop in the Jinghai Province Architects Branch was really relaxed.
Normally, Fang Mu would be curious and ask more about Lu Yuyu.
But at this time, Fang Mu and Lu Yuyu were drinking tea and chatting about the construction status of the Construction Wood Chamber of Commerce in the royal capital.
There was no question at all which force would compete for the Luo Ying Tempering Essence Carp.
Anyway, Fang Mu has decided to take a photo of it at all costs, and there is no point in knowing who will fight for it.
Fang Mu just needs to use Lu and Yu to smash the builder resources he had accumulated before!
Lu Yuyu summoned a beast specially bred by the Beastmaster Alliance.
This Taming Beast looks somewhat similar to the Time Dream Beast, but it is much larger and fatter than the Time Dream Beast.
Lü Yuyu just mentioned that the Dream Beast mutated when it was promoted to the Diamond rank and would evolve into a beast called the Time-Monitoring Beast.
This beast has the ability to monitor from a distance and can also accurately transmit messages over long distances.
The Time-Monitoring Beast hummed and used its mental power to outline an interface in mid-air, with exactly twenty numbers on it.
All the resources invested by the Time-Monitoring Beast will be converted into points according to the rules.
The party with the highest points will become the owner of the sacred object, the Fallen Cherry Blossom Quenching Carp.
