Chapter 371: Selling for Money

“Rest assured. But I’ll be taking the sunstone.”

Johnny nodded and continued,”One more thing. This is a secret operation. So, it’s better for you to conceal your identity.”

Fang Xingjian nodded to express that he understood. Of course, he was clear that in such an operation to exterminate an unorthodox sect or a faction, most Conferred Knights would conceal their identities. After all, such operations were akin to those handled by drug law enforcement and counterterrorism agents. It meant they would attract bad blood. If they did not keep their identities under wraps, their enemies would probably come swarming in as if they had stirred up a hornet’s nest.

It was very simple for Conferred Knights to conceal their identities. They had long surpassed Knights and had outstanding control over their muscles, bones, vital energy, and blood.

This was just like how it was for Fang Xingjian. He would just need to shrink his bones slightly and change some of the positionings of his facial muscles in order to completely transform into a brand new appearance.

However, just to be safe, Fang Xingjian consulted Head of Department James.

“Hmmm? Eradicate the Terrene Shrine?” James nodded and said,”The Terrene Shrine have withered out badly, and they basically have no more top notch experts. With your means, it should be highly unlikely for them to kill you. However, they all believe in the Terrene God and are unafraid of death. They even have secret arts which require them to sacrifice their life span. You must be careful.”

“There won’t be level 28 or level 29 experts, right?”

“There won’t be. There aren’t even many who are at level 27.” James said with certainty,”In the previous operation to eradicate them, 99% of their manuals were already destroyed. After so many years, they don’t have many who are at the second transition, and a large part of their legacy has disappeared. You would be considered lucky if you were to come across one who is at level 26.”

Fang Xingjian would occasionally look for James to have a spar, and the latter understood Fang Xingjian’s battle prowess very clearly.

Saying this, James suddenly smiled,”Right, Xingjian, when are you going to show me the remaining parts to the Pantheon Monument?”

“I was just about to bring this up to you. How about I sell it to the academy all at once?” In the past, Fang Xingjian had not been lacking in money, but now that he wanted to cultivate the mystical prints, there was never enough money to go around. Just the first three levels of the mystical prints had already cost him 600,000 gold, and with more and more academies already given the rights to the Rebirth Sword Technique, the amount of additional royalties received this year was gradually decreasing. He did not know how long it would take before he could gather the over 400,000 gold required for the fourth level.

Therefore, Fang Xingjian planned to sell the secrets to the Pantheon Monument this time around.

When James heard this, his gaze turned serious as he asked,”How much are you planning to sell it for?”

Fang Xingjian said,”I’ll reveal all seven levels of the mysteries at once. The price will be fixed at ten million gold.”

“That’s too much!” James said, his eyes wide-open in fury,”B*stard! Ten million! Do you want me to sell the entire Sword Arts Department for this?!”

“You’re exaggerating.” Fang Xingjian shrugged and said,”How about this? You can pay in instalments. You’ll just need to pay the payments to me within half a year.”

“Half a year?” James’ brows twitched a little before he waved his hand and said,”Go back and make your preparations for the mission tomorrow. I’ll think about it. Ten million gold is still too expensive.”

“Of course, you can’t be the one person to bear this burden. The entire academy will be able to learn the Prodigious Astral Divine Powers Waves. Just let everyone share the burden. It’ll be sufficient for each department to fork out one to two million.”

James shook his head.”Ten million gold is too expensive. The academy won’t agree to it.”

Fang Xingjian said,”It’s worth the money. A few days back, I demonstrated the prowess of the level 5 Prodigious Astral Divine Powers Waves in Beize Region’s Pearl City. You can go ask about it. If there’s a need, I can demonstrate it again.

“I believe that once you guys are aware of its prowess, the academy will definitely be willing to fork out the ten million gold.”

James frowned,”Mmm, I’ll go ask, but it probably won’t work out. You’re better off not having too high an expectation. Even for the Waves of a Divine level expert, ten million gold is too expensive. It has surpassed what the academy can afford. Putting the academy aside, there’s probably not a single aristocrat in the Great Western Region who will be able to afford it.”
