A waitress walked up to Diana and picked up that golden button. She took a look and said,”He’s really stingy. I thought that he’s some rich young master since he has a Knight as his follower. He’s thinking of moving our boss with just a button?”

Another girl took the button and said,”This is golden, but it can’t possibly be made out of gold, right? With this size and such workmanship for the carving… If it’s really made of gold, it would be worth at least three to five gold coins.”

“That can’t be possible. Who would be so foolish as to use gold to make buttons for clothes?”

“That’s right. Buttons are subjected to friction everyday. Additionally, they drop easily. Isn’t it foolish to use gold to make them?”

Hearing that it was worth three to five gold coins, the girls at the side all started to gather, chattering. It was a huge amount which would take them five to six years before they could save that much.

Diana frowned slightly as she took the button.”Alright, alright, stop it. We still need to run a business here.” However, at the same time, she started to feel curious. Was this button really made of gold?

To use gold to make buttons for clothes… This was far too extravagant.

Just then, a middle-aged lady walked into the shop.”What are you all talking about? What’s this about a button made of gold?”

“Mother, why have you come again?!” Diana shouted.

“Isn’t it all for your sake? Do you really want to spend the rest of your life here grilling meat?”

“I think it’s quite good to be running an eatery.”

The middle-aged lady shook her head helplessly and took the button, saying,”This is made of gold? A man gave it to you? Diana, let me tell you, don’t get swindled by those ruffians. How can there possibly be buttons made of gold? That Louis is someone who has reached the pinnacle among Knights, yet he isn’t this extravagant.”

“Mother, I know. You should go back first. I still have to run my business.”

Diana’s mother tried very hard to persuade her,”Sigh, what’s so good about running this business? I think that Louis is quite a nice guy. And he has invited you to attend his birthday party today. Why didn’t you attend it?”

“Mother, Louis and I are just good friends. I don’t harbor those kinds of feelings for him.”

“You’re really…” As Diana’s mother said that, she kept the golden button, planning to get someone to appraise it in case her daughter was getting swindled by a scoundrel.

On the other hand, Fang Xingjian very quickly forgot about this incident. After having his fill, his mood improved, and he quickly went straight back to the Sacred Land for his cultivation.

In the meantime, the compensation of 30,000 gold was entered into his account very quickly, while Daniel and Gus brought the geomagnetic essence as well. However, Fang Xingjian only received the geomagnetic essence, and did not actually meet them. As for the other trifling issues, he of course did not pay them any heed either.

If he was required to handle every single thing, what need would he have for Ferdinand, Robert, Anthony, and Zhou Xingwen?

His mind was already focused on the second level of the mystical prints.

As before, he boiled the ingredients together and then drew the mystical prints on his body.

Eight hours passed by very quickly, and layers of prints extended from his arms to his shoulders. They were like countless unknown words, exuding a faint fluorescent light.

At the next moment, the fluorescent light disappeared, and Fang Xingjian’s mystical prints entered the second level. He inhaled slightly and discovered that the efficiency of the exchange of information and energy through the ether particles had once again increased.

‘The first level of the mystical prints has the effect of increasing the efficiency rate to be twice as high, while the second level increases it by three times… Judging from this, does it mean that the tenth level would increase the efficiency rate by eleven times?’

Fang Xingjian was astonished when he sensed that his physical body continued to have exchanges with the external ether particles. His ether synchronization rate was also increasing rapidly at an overwhelming rate.
