Seeing that Fang Xingjian did not stop him from continuing, Zhou Xingwen continued, "You see, you're not too used to a Sacred Land with a high density, and I know that some Conferred Knights have been wanting to cultivate in a Sacred Land with a density of one hundred times. This is a good opportunity for both sides."
How could Fang Xingjian possibly fall for his bewitchment so easily? His words were like his sword arts, direct and direct.
"Who's interested in this Sacred Land of mine? How much are you willing to pay? "
To Fang Xingjian, a Sacred Land was merely a place to increase his cultivation speed. However, if the other party was willing to offer a reasonable price, such as one million gold coins or a set of Divine level armor, he would naturally be willing to give up this Sacred Land.
Zhou Xingwen seemed to have not expected Fang Xingjian to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's like this. The person ranked ninth in our Regional Academy's rankings, Wang Tiangang, is like a god who has descended from the heavens. He has just turned 35 years old and is already a level 26 Conferred Knight.
"His White Deity Sword Technique is renowned throughout the Great Western Region, and he was even able to exchange ten moves with the Governor without being defeated. He's a top notch genius.
"Next year will be the National Selection, and Brother Tiangang hopes to make use of this last year to make a good effort. "The rewards for next year's National Selection have been greatly increased by His Majesty. As long as you can get into the top ten, you'll be able to soar and leave your name in history.
"Xingjian, although you're also a genius of your generation, you've only just entered the academy this year and won't be able to participate in next year's National Selection." Moreover, you've just started your second transition cultivation and aren't suitable for the high density of ether particles. If you forcefully cultivate, your brain and spirit will be damaged like you are now.
"Why don't you give this chance to Brother Tiangang? He'll find a Sacred Land with a low density for you to cultivate in. He'll even make up for the difference. He'll definitely not let you suffer a loss.
"And don't worry, if you wish to go through the second transition, you can come here at any time. Brother Tiangang will definitely not stop you."
Zhou Xingwen's mouth was a little dry from all the talking, but his eyes were filled with determination.
After all, in his opinion, Fang Xingjian had just entered the academy and there was still one year before he could participate in the National Selection. Moreover, he needed time to adapt to the high density of the Holy Land.
Under such circumstances, temporarily giving up the right to cultivate in the Sacred Land in exchange for Wang Tiangang's friendship and compensation was a good deal. Once Wang Tiangang passed the Regional Selection, he would definitely be indebted to Fang Xingjian.
It could be said that Zhou Xingwen had considered all aspects before coming over to take on this job. In his opinion, as long as one wasn't an idiot, it was impossible for them to reject this proposal.
However, what he didn't know was that Fang Xingjian was really planning to participate in the National Selection a year later.
Fang Xingjian asked, "What price did Wang Tiangang offer?"
"Yes, Brother Heavenly Dipper." Zhou Xingwen added, "The Governor has personally applied for this piece of Sacred Land for you, and it has been approved for a year's time. If you're willing to let Brother Tiangang have this one year's time, then he's willing to fork out 300,000 gold coins, including any resources that are equivalent to 300,000 gold coins."
300,000 gold coins … This was already the budget of some Prefectural Academies for a few years. It was also a huge sum of money that Wang Tiangang had managed to gather from various places and decades of savings.
Despite this, it showed how wealthy these Conferred Knights in the Great Western City were.
The wealth of a Conferred Knight was truly unfathomable.
However, when Fang Xingjian heard this price, he frowned slightly and said, "It's too little."
"Too little?" When Zhou Xingwen heard the price of 300,000 gold, he felt his mouth go dry and he was seeing stars. 300,000 gold was enough to purchase a Divine Weapon of level 25 and above. Even if it was used to purchase heavenly and earthly treasures, it would be enough to raise an ordinary person's attributes to that of a Knight's.
Or if it was used for the cultivation of a Conferred Knight, it could be used for a few years.
To think that Fang Xingjian would say that it was too little, Zhou Xingwen immediately tried to persuade him, "300,000 gold is really not a small amount. Xingjian, didn't your sword break in the arena? 300,000 gold is enough for you to buy a level 26 or even a level 27 Superior Divine Weapon. "
Seeing that Fang Xingjian was still shaking his head, Zhou Xingwen could not help but say, "400,000 …" Seeing that Fang Xingjian was about to turn and leave, he immediately shouted, "500,000 gold coins! 500,000 gold coins!"
Zhou Xingwen, who had shouted out 500,000 gold coins as if he had just unleashed an ultimate move, looked at Fang Xingjian, panting, and said, "This is the highest price they can offer. Xingjian, don't go overboard. 500,000 gold coins is enough for you to buy a top-notch Superior Divine Weapon or increase your attributes by tens of points!"
However, what made Zhou Xingwen disappointed once again was that Fang Xingjian shook his head and headed back into his house. "One million gold coins. Tell Wang Tiangang that if he can't afford it, then don't waste my time."
"One million?" Hearing this figure, Zhou Xingwen almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What kind of concept was one million? The number of people in the entire Great Western City who could fork out such a sum of money would probably not exceed five. Moreover, they would definitely be second transition level 29 super experts or super aristocrats who had accumulated wealth for over a hundred years. Only they would be able to accumulate such a tremendous amount of wealth.
To Zhou Xingwen, Fang Xingjian's actions were like a lion opening its mouth and asking for a sky-high price.
He could not help but shout out, "Xingjian, there's no way you'll be able to sell it at this price. Are you going to let this Sacred Land rot in your hands? A newbie like you won't be able to persevere in training for too long in the Sacred Land where the density is one hundred times! If you let it rot in your hands, you might as well use it to exchange for more resources. "Moreover, I believe that other than Brother Tiangang, no one else will be able to offer a price higher than 500,000 gold coins."
Ignoring Zhou Xingwen's long-winded words, Fang Xingjian returned to his room. He still needed to look for something to eat. Having not eaten for ten days, his intestines and stomach had shrunk together.
Looking at Fang Xingjian's back slowly disappearing through the door, a hint of fury flashed in Zhou Xingwen's eyes. Thinking of how he had boasted to Wang Tiangang earlier on that he would definitely get this done, Zhou Xingwen felt a little anger rising up in his body.
'This lad is really as unrestrained as the rumors say, doing as he pleases.
'He really doesn't know anything about how to conduct himself.'
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingwen let out a breath and left with a face full of hatred. However, thinking of the money he had spent in order to enter the Sacred Land, he wore a pained expression.
'That damned Fang Xingjian. You're not even willing to let go of 500,000 gold coins. Aren't you afraid that you'll die from overeating?
'You can just continue guarding this Sacred Land. I'll see how long you can last after being bombarded by information currents every day.'
Zhou Xingwen thought of how Fang Xingjian was getting weaker and how he had suffered from a nervous breakdown when he first entered the Sacred Land where the density was thirty times, causing him to suffer from insomnia. He secretly made up his mind, 'I might as well look for him again next time. I don't believe that he'll be able to last much longer. Maybe the next time I come here, he'll have a headache and I won't even need to spend 500,000 gold.'
Fang Xingjian could not guess Zhou Xingwen's thoughts at all. He had not expected that the first generation of Miracle World's harassment-type intermediary would be forced out just like that.
He was holding a large plate of food in the small room and eating non-stop, circulating his vital energy and blood, gradually recovering the vitality of his internal organs.
