"You guys have no rare resources, and your only advantage is your vast number, and that has nothing to do with me," Wang Wei commented. "However, because of our friendship, I can allow their hall to exchange the tickets with things of equal value."
"That’s good enough for me," Shi Qian said excitedly. The Existence Healing Pill is rare enough, so it will benefit the Limitless Exchange Hall immensely if they can replace them with things of equal value.
"Don’t get ahead of yourself," Wang Wei added. "The deal is only for your hall’s inner members."
"That’s still alright," Shi Qian said after a brief hesitation. Any cultivators not associated with a faction can be considered part of the Limitless Exchange Hall, as they can come and receive missions and rewards. However, the hall has internal members that they cultivate at a young age, similar to other sects or families — those are the inner members. Of course, outer members with enough talent can also become inner members, but they will forever bind themselves to the hall.
"I’m glad we could come to an understanding," Wang Wei smiled. The two chatted for a few hours before Shi Qian left. With this deal, she secured a spot for the trial and increased her status in the hall, so she left with happiness in her stride.
’Is there a way for me to turn the Limitless Exchange Hall into the sect’s cannon fodder for the upcoming catastrophe?’ Wang Wei was greedy, so he did not want to just survive the catastrophe but to do it with as little loss as possible, and if he could turn the hall into his own personal mercenary group, such a thing would be possible.
’This idea is a long shot, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility,’ Wang Wei contemplated. ’The greatest value of the Limitless Exchange Hall is the trust of all loose cultivators.’ The Overlords have tried to limit the hall’s power by establishing similar groups catering to loose cultivators.
With their abundant resources, the Overlords should have run the hall out of business, but unfortunately, loose cultivators have one thing in common — a distrust and hatred for sects or clans. So, this approach had little impact and was ultimately considered a failure.
’If I can eliminate one of both of their Primals and install a puppet of my own, it’s possible to use that trust to access the loose cultivator base. Then, I can slowly turn them into cannon fodders with the lure of strength, power, and resources.’
Wang Wei frowned. This plan sounds feasible except for the part about training a Primal as a puppet. Wang Wei is confident of one day being a Primal, but he also understands this is a process that will take time. Furthermore, becoming a Primal and cultivating another Primal are two entirely different things.
’I still have a second spot for the revised Lord’s Shadow Technique,’ Wang Wei’s eyes lit up. The technique the Shadow Ruler gave him allowed the cultivation of two shadows. ’I was keeping it for when I reunite with Wang Ju, but I have a feeling she may not need it.’
Wang Wei looked in the distance. Shi Qian was a good investment for the puppet, given their former relationship, but Wang Wei had already detected her lack of ambition or even the desire to improve. ’I’ll observe her for a while, but it’s probably best to choose another candidate.’
Wang Wei continued his peaceful life: he enjoyed his beautiful garden, fished, and healed his injuries. His next guest was a beautiful woman in a red dress with phoenix designs and a handsome young man with a third-eye marking on his forehead and a confrontational aura. Even the woman had an air about her as if she came to fight.
"You’re as noble as I remember," Wang Wei praised.
"And your mouth is as sweet as ever," Huo Fenghuang replied.
"I’m just telling it as it is," Wang Wei rebutted. "Look, my garden is brighter just because of your presence."
"Tone it down — don’t forget you’re a married man." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Haha, who knew you had a sense of humor," Wang Wei laughed. "Come, have a seat. And who is this young man staring at me with daggering eyes?"
"That’s Wang Fuxuan," Huo Fenghuang introduced.
"Oh, a distant relative."
"I’m not your relative," Wang Fuxuan said coldly.
"Quite the animosity, isn’t it?" Wang Wei said calmly.
"He’s the most talented genius of the Wang Clan in this generation, and his pride does not accept your fame and prestige has surpassed his," Huo Fenghuang said casually.
"You!"
"Best talent, you say? Let’s see," Wang Wei glanced at him up and down: "Peak Everlasting Empyrean, 10th Heaven of the Adult Fiendgod Realm, Limit Indestructibility, Five-Root Dao Foundation, Emperor Taboo Battle Realm, but a failure of the Empyrean Taboo Battle Realm despite coming close. A soul compared to 92% Paragon and a Paragon Tier Willpower — he’s not bad indeed."
Wang Fuxuan looked at him with clenched hands. As soon as Wang Wei started speaking, he tried to hide all his information, but it was pointless. Those calm gray eyes seemed to be able to see all his secrets, and that idea chilled his back.
"I warn you that you weren’t comparable to him, but you didn’t believe me," Huo Fenghuang said. Wang Fuxuan glanced at her and immediately calmed down, entering a peaceful state, not perturbed by his emotions. It’s almost as if his previous reaction was on purpose.
"Not bad. Although still inexperienced, he has potential," Wang Wei praised. Wang Fuxuan’s age was probably hundred times his, but it was true that the latter’s experience paled compared to Wang Wei’s measly 10,000 Yuan Epochs.
"So, what brought you here?" Wang Wei asked.
"I came here for two reasons: one personal and one official," Huo Fenghuang said. "Let’s start with the official. Our union would like to make a deal with you."
"I’m listening."
