“…Then head about one hundred meters in the northwest direction. You’ll see a large green boulder with an old tree growing on top of it. I’ve buried the remaining four corpses there.”

In the study, Fang Xingjian explained to the others how many Garcia’s Great Warriors’ corpses he had buried in total and gave them a rough estimate about where he had buried those fourteen corpses.

Ferdinand said agitatedly, “Fourteen Garcia’s Great Warriors’ corpses? We’re going to strike it rich! Xingjian, are you sure you didn’t mistakenly remember?”

Fang Xingjian said, “After I had reached level 3 in my mental cultivation method, I’ve rarely forgotten things. There might be some discrepancies in the details, but the general direction shouldn’t be wrong.”

“That’s great! Haha, having fourteen sets of corpses of the Garcia’s Great Warriors, and with the war having just ended… Give me some time to create some hype. I’ll definitely sell them for fifteen thousand gold or more.” He then looked at Fang Xingjian and asked, “Oh, right. How do you plan on bringing them here?”

Fang Xingjian shook his head. “Don’t create any hype, just make it quick. I want to participate in that auction.”

Ferdinand was stunned, but he then recalled that Fang Xingjian planned to take part in the auction for the loan of the parietal bones. He smiled bitterly, “You still haven’t given up yet. Even if we were to sell it for fifteen thousand gold, it’s hard to tell how much money is needed to win an auction like that.”

Fang Xingjian was unfaltered. He said with determination, “I must have it.” He then looked towards the three of them and continued, “After the whole thing is over, I’ll give each of you one hundred gold. But I need the three of you to help me go look for the fourteen corpses and dig them out.”

He needed to remain in the academy to continue with the class. Moreover, it would take too much time for him to look for the corpses in the forests. It would also affect his cultivation.

Hearing Fang Xingjian’s words, Anthony waved his hand and said, “Xingjian, rest assured. Since you’ve given the word, we’ll definitely get everything settled for you. As for the one hundred gold, it won’t be necessary.”

Fang Xingjian shook his head, “We must make things clear. Since I’m getting you guys to do something for me, I will naturally need to pay you for it.”

After his futile effort of rejecting the money, Anthony eventually agreed to accept it.

As soon as Robert heard of one hundred gold, his eyes immediately lit up. He had once started a dojo and headed it. Unlike people like Anthony who had no such experience, he knew well about the value of money. One hundred gold was already considered a tremendous sum of money to him. It was sufficient for him to change his life for the better.

Robert slapped his chest, creating loud sounds. He said, “Xingjian, don’t worry. I’ll definitely bring them to you safely.”

Ferdinand saw that Fang Xingjian had turned towards him. Although his eyes were closed, he was still observing his actions.

Ferdinand shrugged helplessly, “You want me to go as well?”

Fang Xingjian said, “It should be safer with three Knights.”

Ferdinand said reluctantly, “There’s still many things I have to handle for the tuition class. You can just let them put on their Knight attire and go. Who would dare to assault Knights in the Empire’s territory?”

Digging corpses in the forests would definitely be a dirty and tiring work, therefore he was naturally reluctant to go. However, when the things arrived, he would be interested to sell them off for a profit.

Seeing that Fang Xingjian did not move and was still looking at him with his eyes closed, he felt as if Fang Xingjian was not blind in the least.

“Damn, you can’t be pretending to be blind, right?” Seeing that the other part was still staring at him, Ferdinand waved his hand and said, “Alright, alright. I’ll go, I’ll go.”

Fang Xingjian nodded, satisfied. “It’ll be hard on you, but time is short. You guys can set off now.”

Seeing that Fang Xingjian was in so much of a hurry, both Anthony and Robert were surprised. However, Ferdinand understood and nodded, “Alright, alright, alright. We’ll set off right now.”

Fang Xingjian reminded them again, “You guys must definitely rush back before the auction starts and sell off all fourteen sets of corpses.”

Ferdinand smiled confidently, “You can count on me.”
