Chapter 594: Chapter 210: Bargaining with the Hottest Guy on Blue Star (5710 words) _3
He didn’t know either of these two men.
One of them immediately spoke up: “Oh, so you’re Chen Fan… I’m Feng Ying, the Director of Instruction at the First Martial Arts University, and this is Qi Yufeng, the Vice Principal of the First Martial Arts University.”
“The Principal and I came over here because we’d like to discuss the matter of challenging the other martial arts universities in three days.”
“Mr. Zhou Yang has talked to you about this, hasn’t he?”
Vice Principal Qi Yufeng nodded at Chen Fan with a smile, then turned to face Li Mu, who was standing with his back to them.
Li Mu slowly turned around.
“…”
Qi Yufeng and Feng Ying were stunned.
Suddenly, Qi Yufeng quickly stepped forward: “Min… Minister Li! You’re here too?”
Although they knew Chen Fan was an exceptional genius and was also Master Zhang Hai’s disciple, they were startled to see Li Mu — who seldom made public appearances despite residing in Demon City — at Chen Fan’s house.
“Oh, this kid is always up to some mischief, so I came to check up on him,” Li Mu said casually. “I’m afraid he might accidentally destroy Demon City.”
“…” There was sheer astonishment on Qi Yufeng and Feng Ying’s faces.
Chen Fan indeed was extremely talented, but no matter what, he was just at the Fifth-Grade Realm. How could he possibly destroy Demon City? Where did such idea even come from?
Li Mu added: “By the way, Chu Xuan and Ye Hao have all been taken for special training.”
“Chen Fan is no different. Let him do as he pleases during this period, and the school doesn’t need to exercise strict control over him.”
“Yes, I understand,” Qi Yufeng nodded.
They didn’t expect that even Minister Li, such a high-ranking figure, would have taken notice of Chen Fan and his friends, and shown such great concern for them!
Qi Yufeng and Feng Ying exchanged glances, their gazes upon Chen Fan becoming somewhat peculiar. Was Minister Li showing such care for Chen Fan because of his relationship with Master Zhang Hai?
At this moment, Li Mu looked at Chen Fan and smilingly said, “Chen Fan, why don’t you give me everything in your seven rings?”
Chen Fan’s face instantly turned black: “Isn’t this outright robbery?”
Li Mu raised an eyebrow, “You sure don’t mince your words… Do you think I, Li Mu, am that kind of person? Ask around.”
Chen Fan blinked but didn’t respond.
Li Mu then frowned, “Alright then, you already have that blade as a weapon.”
“And your battle armor got destroyed on the way to Demon City. You’ll need a new set. I’ll give you battle armor even a Ninth Grade Realm practitioner would envy.”
Chen Fan scoffed, “Do you think a set of battle armor is a fair exchange for all my items?”
“These are Sumi rings from a Ninth-Grade Third Heaven level practitioner!”
“Although I haven’t had time to check them, there might be several sets of battle armor inside!”
Qi Yufeng and Feng Ying were dumbfounded.
Chen Fan continued, “I’ve already turned in six divine weapons and six 40-level demon corpses to you, and you haven’t even paid me for them yet!”
Li Mu coughed slightly, “Ah, I remember that. Didn’t I plan to pay you for everything altogether?”
“To tell you the truth, you can’t really use these items from Ninth Grade Realm.”
“Give them to me, and I can substantially boost the power levels of over a dozen Ninth Grade Realm practitioners.”
Little Orange, who had just run back in, grit his teeth at the side. One of the seven rings belonged to him.
But he didn’t dare to protest.
He was afraid of getting punished.
Li Mu said, “Here’s a deal. Besides the battle armor I just mentioned, tell me what else you want, and how much money you need. Name your price.”
Chen Fan felt his head throbbing. With so many valuable resources in the Ninth Grade Realm Sumi rings, how could he possibly settle on a price?
To check, evaluate, and assess the value of each item one by one?
Seeing Chen Fan furrow his brows, Li Mu quickly made another offer, “How about this, I’ll give you five trillion union coins?”
“I’ll also credit you with a major merit.”
Little Orange roared, “Chen Fan, don’t listen to his nonsense! The resources in any of the rings are worth more than four trillion each!”
“The seven rings together would be worth at least thirty trillion!”
“Among them, there are many treasures and secret devices that money can’t even buy!”
Qi Yufeng and Feng Ying glanced at Little Orange.
In the world of Guardian Beastmasters, talking Guardian Beasts weren’t an uncommon sight.
But why did this orange cat’s voice sound so old?
And you’re just an Orange Cat, a Guardian Beast. Do you dare to talk like this to Minister Li?
Li Mu gave Little Orange a speechless look, “Sect Leader, you’re already this unreliable. Can’t you just peacefully be a beautiful little orange cat?”
“Damn!” the Orange Cat rolled its eyes and said, “I knew I couldn’t hide it from you! But let me tell you, with me and Elder Xa around, you can’t trick Chen Fan, it’s impossible!”
The Blind Man slapped the Orange Cat to the ground with one hand: “Call me Grandpa!”
“…” The Orange Cat was speechless.
In terms of age and seniority, the Blind Man could even be its ancestor.
But it just couldn’t bring itself to call him Grandpa.
This was the final stubborn defiance of the Sky Demon Sect Leader!
Qi Yufeng and Feng Ying were shocked again.
Sect Leader?
What Sect Leader?
An orange cat is a sect leader?
Li Mu frowned and looked at Chen Fan, “So what do you suggest, a barter? What do you need, just name it, if I can get it for you, I will.”
Chen Fan grinned, “I want that Five-colored Divine Stone in the restricted area.”
“If I could get it, it wouldn’t be your turn to spout nonsense!” Li Mu said with a long face: “Choose something else!”
“Tsk!” Chen Fan furrowed his brows.
With the Heaven-severing Demon Sword in his hands, and Li Mu’s promise of a strong defense armor, he really can’t think of any other necessities.
His cultivation method is completely different from others.
Other Beastmasters need not only vast resources to help their Guardian Beasts break through, but also a lot of resources to improve themselves, such as Crystal Cores and elixirs.
But Chen Fan doesn’t need any of that.
All he needs to do is to raise beasts, like crazy!
Then, as long as his cultivation realm allows, he can contract several more Guardian Beasts, which solves the problem of cultivation.
Other Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists also require powerful cultivation methods, martial arts, sword skills, etc.
However, Chen Fan doesn’t need them.
One set of Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade combined with the system’s replication abilities, he doesn’t need to waste time practicing other martial arts and weapon skills.
Even if he really needs them, there’s no need to ask Li Mu for them.
Aren’t the cultivation methods of the Blind Man and the Lame Man more powerful than those on the Blue Star?
Aren’t the Blue Star’s cultivation methods all passed down from the Heavenly Feather Realm?
Li Mu lets Chen Fan make an offer.
And it actually stumped Chen Fan.
Money, of course, the more the better.
But after a certain amount, it becomes so much that you can’t even spend it all. Then it just becomes a number.
The Orange Cat said that the resources in one ring are no less than four trillion.
Those seven rings…
Chen Fan felt like he might have collapsed the entire currency system of Blue Star.
What’s the point of having all that money?
That’s when the Blind Man spoke up, “Also get one set of armor and a weapon for Chu Xuan and Qing Qing.”
Li Mu’s expression slightly changed, “Elder, you seem to take special care of these kids…”
Taking care of Chu Xuan and them was because the Blind Man and the Lame Man couldn’t determine who was the New Generation Human Emperor among all these people.
But after Chen Fan got the Heaven-severing Demon Sword, the Blind Man was sure, Chen Fan was the New Generation Human Emperor.
Even so, the Blind Man still fought for resources for Chu Xuan…
“Ah…” the Blind Man sighed, “Ah, we’re getting old, all hopes for our world lie with these youngsters.”
Li Mu didn’t say anything.
Qi Yufeng and Feng Ying were left speechless.
They came here to discuss with Chen Fan about challenging the Martial Arts Universities.
Before they came, they were discussing how much resources to allocate to Chen Fan.
As a result, Minister Li and Chen Fan are discussing seven Sumi Rings of Ninth-Grade Realm here…
Poverty really does limit our imagination.
…
Chen Fan looked at Li Mu and then at Elder Xa.
Then, he said, “I’ll keep a Sumi Ring for myself.”
“I can give out everything in the seven rings.”
“Each of Chu Xuan and Hong Xiu gets one weapon and one set of armor.”
“As for the others, give me one trillion first, and when I think of what I need later, I’ll find you guys.”
“Lastly, there’s one more demand… you can’t spy on me or eavesdrop on my conversations anymore! All the things you found out previously, you have to keep them a secret for me!”
Li Mu laughed, lightly patted Chen Fan’s shoulder: “Deal!”
