Chapter 281 Blood-Brewing Vines!
Since Lu Xiaoyin became Fang Mu's personal butler, her life has changed.
As the captain of the guards of the JA City Builder Guild branch, Lu Xiaoyin had the ability to contact builders and saw many rare beasts, but her own knowledge was still limited.
But since she followed Fang Mu, Lu Xiaoyin not only had a wider vision, but also was able to see many big figures in a real sense.
Because she was Fang Mu's personal butler, she represented Fang Mu in foreign negotiations.
This made Lu Xiaoyin receive great courtesy.
At some times, Lu Xiaoyin's status was even higher than that of a master builder.
The improvement of vision and status will directly lead to a change in a person's temperament.
Now Lu Xiaoyin is no longer as easily surprised by anything as before.
Even though Lu Xiaoyin had never heard of mechanical beasts such as the mechanical bunker before.
But after receiving Fang Mu's instructions, Lu Xiaoyin calmly commanded four servants to carefully arrange the interior of the mechanical bunker with the existing resources at hand.
To ensure that Fang Mu would have a refined living environment when he was preparing to go to Panfeng Federation tomorrow.
"Master, the room you reserved for me and Sister Wan is a bit too big. Sister Wan and I don't need such a big room."
"Why not make my and Sister Wan's room smaller!"
Fang Mu glanced at Lu Xiaoyin after hearing this, knowing that Lu Xiaoyin felt that the internal space of the mechanical bunker was only nearly 1,000 square meters, and Lu Xiaoyin and She Wan had 100 square meters each.
In addition, he occupied the second floor alone, and minus the room reserved for Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao, there was no more space to use inside the mechanical bunker.
Lu Xiaoyin considered that Fang Mu might very likely recruit other subordinates in the future.
It would be bad if the new subordinates were in place, but there was no place to live inside the mechanical bunker!
Lu Xiaoyin had such considerations because she was careful enough, but Fang Mu had no intention of letting his subordinates live inside the mechanical bunker.
The abdominal space of the abdominal worm is where those subordinates live.
"Xiaoyin, you don't need to have any psychological pressure. You and Sister Wan have always been dedicated to my side. You deserve such a room!"
"Remember to prepare more medicinal food for Mr. Shu when preparing meals recently."
Lu Xiaoyin no longer insisted on asking Fang Mu to reduce the size of her and She Wan's rooms.
From the usual bits and pieces, Lu Xiaoyin could sense Fang Mu's attention to her.
It was Fang Mu's attention that made Lu Xiaoyin, as Fang Mu's personal butler, dare not be careless for even a moment.
For fear of being ashamed of Fang Mu's recognition and attention.
In the past two days, Gao Wenyuan, who had returned to the Gao family, tried to contact Fang Mu more than once, hoping to communicate with Fang Mu.
Fang Mu did not respond to Gao Wenyuan because he was busy.
Gao Wenyuan is not worthy of Fang Mu using the ant offspring of the soul ant queen. To put it bluntly, Fang Mu was willing to meet Gao Wenyuan in order to get information from Gao Wenyuan and solve the problem of Ludu.
Gao Wenyuan is a chess piece with no sense of existence in Fang Mu's mind.
In the future, Fang Mu intends to continue to support Gao Wenyuan in order to control the Gao family through Gao Wenyuan.
Now Fang Mu is ready to leave Ludu, and he must find time to meet Gao Wenyuan.
"Xiaoyin, hasn't Gao Wenyuan been wanting to apply to see me recently? Let her come over now!"
Lu Xiaoyin hurriedly said after hearing this.
"Master, I will go and inform Gao Wenyuan now!"
Lu Xiaoyin knew that the Gao family was deceived by the sea clan, which brought this disaster to Ludu.
But among the human races, the Gao family is the first party at fault, and it was the Gao family that led the action to capture the offspring of Longhun Whale Princess.
The Zhao family was invited by the Gao family to help, and is the second party at fault.
Even if the loss of Ludu will be fully compensated by the Hai Clan, the Gao family and the Zhao family will have to pay for this disaster.
The Gao family must be having a very hard time now!
This makes the Gao family have to cling to Fang Mu's thighs more tightly through Gao Wenyuan!
Fang Mu has not seen Gao Wenyuan these days. Not only is Gao Wenyuan nervous, but even the Gao family is more nervous than Gao Wenyuan.
The Gao family can only strengthen the strength of the Gao family by obtaining the resources of the Grandmaster Creator from Fang Mu through Gao Wenyuan.
Only then can the Gao family maintain the title of the five major clans in Ludu and find a way to turn over a hundred years later.
The big clans take the development and continuation of the family as the top priority.
The fact is just as Lu Xiaoyin guessed. Gao Hongying, as the decision maker of the Gao family, has also become a sinner of the Gao family, and his reputation in the family has plummeted.
The elders of the Gao family are very dissatisfied with Gao Hongying, so that Gao Hongying's power has been greatly compressed.
However, Gao Hongying's position as the head of the Gao family is still not replaced by other direct members.
The high-ranking officials of Ludu would visit Gao Hongying at least twice a day.
Every time the high-ranking officials of Ludu were called to a meeting, the Gao family would be burdened with a debt.
The Gao family’s debts had already made it impossible for the Gao family to turn around.
The Gao family needed to sell a large number of assets to maintain the payment of the first debt.
But the Gao family had more than one debt to pay.
Fortunately, the Gao family had no loss in hard power and still had the ability to make money.
Otherwise, if the remaining dozens of debts could not be paid on time, the Gao family’s old house would be directly taken away by the Ludu officials to pay off the debts.
Gao Hongying would find Gao Wenyuan every time he came back. On the surface, he seemed to be extremely warm to Gao Wenyuan, but in fact he was putting pressure on Gao Wenyuan.
Gao Wenyuan's pressure was already full at this time.
When his request to see Fang Mu got no response, Gao Wenyuan was afraid that Fang Mu would abandon him directly after solving the Ludu matter.
Gao Wenyuan looked confident on the face, but in his heart he was like a frightened bird.
"Wenyuan hasn't seen you since Jianmu has been here for so long. Did you say something wrong or do something wrong to Mr. Jianmu, which made Mr. Jianmu dissatisfied?"
When Gao Wenyuan heard Gao Hongying's words, he cursed Gao Hongying in his heart.
Gao Hongying just forced himself to contact Jianmu. Why was he still blaming himself in his words now?
Thinking about how Gao Hongying charged such a high price when he sold the beast to Master Jianmu, why was he not afraid that Master Jianmu would have a bad opinion! ?
Gao Hongying's behavior gave Gao Wenyuan the feeling of burning bridges across rivers, and treating people as tools was not so obvious!
This made Gao Wenyuan even more certain about how Gao Hongying would treat him once he could no longer serve as a bridge between Jianmu and the Gao family.
"Uncle, what can I do to make Master Jianmu dissatisfied? But you have been holding me back!"
"If you arrange things to hold me back in the future, I will never do it for the Gao family again!"
"I will contact Mr. Jianmu, so I won't bother uncle!"
Gao Hongying was verbally criticized by Gao Wenyuan for the first time.
This person who was lifted up by himself now has strong wings and dares to speak rudely to him!
The tense string in Gao Hongying's mind suddenly broke, and he raised his hand and grabbed Gao Wenyuan's fair neck and roared angrily.
"Gao Wenyuan, you know how you got up. I chose you to be the noble daughter of the Gao family but I didn't allow you to talk to me like this!"
"If I can lift you up, I can also push you down."
Gao Wenyuan looked directly at Gao Hongying without flinching at all.
"I know you don't dare to kill me because Mr. Jianmu will be angry with the Gao family if he knows that I am dead when he wants to see me."
"I am more useful to the current Gao family than anyone else!"
"Don't forget that I was picked up by Mr. Jianmu's coachman and brought back personally!"
Gao Wenyuan didn't flinch on the surface, but he was very nervous in his heart. He specifically emphasized the relationship between himself and Fang Mu.
I want to use this relationship to give Gao Hongying a warning.
Gao Wenyuan had felt this feeling of being pinched by the neck and controlling life and death before.
It's just not as direct as this time.
Gao Wenyuan originally didn't want to break up with Gao Hongying, but obviously he couldn't communicate with Gao Hongying on an equal footing without breaking up.
There is no way to protect his own interests in front of Gao Hongying.
Jianmu's line is his support and trump card. As long as this guard of honor does not disappear, he will have enough strength in front of Gao Hongying.
Sure enough, after listening to Gao Wenyuan's words, Gao Hongying removed the strength from his hands and said in a cold voice.
"Since you said you are more useful than anyone else in the Gao family, I want you to contact Jianmu today!"
"Every time the Gao family makes a transaction with Jianmu through you from now on, they will give you a part of the funds as a reward."
Gao Wenyuan's heart sank when he heard this.
I also want to see Jianmu, but I have expressed my wish to see Jianmu several times but have never received a response.
If he could not successfully meet with Jianmu today, Gao Hongying would definitely doubt his position around Jianmu.
Just when Gao Wenyuan didn't know what to do, he heard an old voice coming from the door.
"Sir, Mr. Jianmu sent someone to send a message and asked Miss Wenyuan to come over."
"Look..."
Upon hearing this, Gao Wenyuan's face immediately burst into a smile, like a proud peacock.
He looked directly at Gao Hongying with a hint of provocation.
Now that he had broken up with each other, Gao Wenyuan didn't have so many scruples in his actions.
"Uncle, since Mr. Jianmu is looking for me, I will go there first!"
"I won't stay to have dinner with you tonight!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gao Hongying to speak, Gao Wenyuan raised his head and left Gao Hongying's study quickly, feeling relieved in his heart.
Lord Jianmu really didn’t give up on himself!
…
Following Yin Nanzhen all the way to Fang Mu's courtyard of Sining Mansion, Gao Wenyuan saw Fang Mu looking through a book.
The decorations in the courtyard have been removed, which shows that Fang Mu is preparing to leave Ludu.
This made Gao Wenyuan panic all of a sudden.
"Jian...Master Jianmu, do you want to leave Ludu?"
Gao Wenyuan felt that after Jianmu left Ludu, he had lost his patron saint.
Fang Mu closed the book in his hand and nodded to Gao Wenyuan.
"Yes, I plan to leave Ludu tomorrow, so I specially asked you to come here today."
"The Gao family probably doesn't know that Takihun Whale Princess is related to me, right?"
Gao Wenyuan had a clearly flustered expression on his face after hearing this, but he still answered Fang Mu's question first.
"Mr. Jianmu doesn't know many things about the Gao family, and he is still thinking about how to achieve cooperation with you!"
"Gao Hongying has urged me more than once to contact you!"
"Gao Hongying hopes to exchange some Grandmaster creation resources from you to enhance the overall strength of the Gao family and protect the Gao family's status."
Fang Mu nodded after hearing this.
Gao Hongying's plan can be said to be the best choice for the Gao family at the moment.
Gao Hongying heard the news about the Hai Clan and captured the descendants of Longhun Jingji, making the Gao family a criminal clan in Ludu.
But it is undeniable that Gao Hongying is a qualified head of the Gao family.
Otherwise, the Gao family would not be able to rank among the top three families in Ludu and completely seize offshore trade resources and channels from the She family.
"I am willing to trade with the Gao family, but my previous transactions with the Gao family were not pleasant."
"I need Gao Hongying to give me an explanation before tonight!"
"And you told Gao Hongying that if you want to trade the resources to create a grandmaster from me, the price will be 1.5 times the price of my transaction with other forces!"
"It's only because of your face that I am willing to trade with you. Otherwise, there will always be families willing to pay 1.5 times the price to trade with me to create Grandmaster resources!"
Gao Wenyuan carefully remembered what Fang Mu said.
He heard Fang Mu suddenly mention himself and said that he was willing to trade with the Gao family because of his face.
Gao Wenyuan knew that Fang Mu had not abandoned him.
Gao Wenyuan asked tentatively.
"Master Jianmu, how can I contact you after you leave Ludu?"
Fang Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
He was going to Panfeng Federation for training. Before he returned to Longteng Federation, Gao Wenyuan couldn't get through his phone at all.
Since Fang Mu decided to use Gao Wenyuan as a medium for him to obtain resources from the Gao family, Fang Mu must provide Gao Wenyuan with a way to obtain the resources to create a grandmaster.
"After that, you can directly contact the Jianmu Chamber of Commerce in the Royal Capital, and someone will be there to handle the matter with you, so that you will not be unable to explain to the Gao family."
"Now that Gao Hongying's reputation in the Gao family has been declining, you can obtain the resources to create a grandmaster for the Gao family."
"I think many senior members of the Gao family have already contacted you and extended an olive branch to you."
"You can make your own decisions about all this. Whether you can control the real power in the Gao family in the future depends on your own ability to develop!"
Gao Wenyuan heard this and kept expressing his gratitude to Fang Mu.
Fang Mu can be said to have arranged a way out for himself.
There are indeed some senior officials in the Gao family who have secretly contacted themselves, hoping to gain their support.
But Gao Wenyuan has yet to reply to any of the senior officials who have contacted him.
There is really nothing anyone else can do to help with this kind of family power struggle.
Gao Wenyuan's status in the family will definitely become higher and higher by virtue of the channel with Fang Mu.
In a few years, he would be able to join the family's Presbyterian Church.
Even if Gao Hongying suppresses himself, there is nothing to worry about if others help him.
Gao Hongying made a big mistake and now he still has some power in the family, but his status and power will gradually decline in the future.
The old guys in the Presbyterian Church, who were the family's anchor, were already extremely dissatisfied with Gao Hongying.
Maybe after Gao Hongying completely withdraws from the center of power of the Gao family, he can return the favor the way Gao Hengyun treated him back then!
After talking to Gao Wenyuan, Fang Mu asked She Wan to negotiate with the Gao family on his behalf.
Fang Mu didn't want to spend any more time on the disputes between forces.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Fang Mu returned to his room and took out the jade bucket containing the relics of the era from the purple ice crystal ring.
Fang Mu found that the two bottles of life potion with 100% purity that he had just poured in had not been completely digested.
But the dead air and dirty energy on the wooden box had completely disappeared.
Fang Mu took a deep breath and opened the wooden box, ready to see what the first era relic in his life could produce.
When he opened the wooden box, he saw a dead vine inside.
This dead vine about thirty-five centimeters long is twisted and twisted, with a total of twenty or thirty leaves on it.
However, most of the leaves have completely withered and scattered, and only one leaf is still stubbornly growing on the withered vine.
The only remaining leaf has turned yellow, and it is obvious that the breath of life is released by this leaf.
This leaf has not completely withered, indicating that the stem can still provide some nutrients to this leaf.
Fang Mu carefully took out the withered vine from the wooden box and put it into the jade bucket.
Let the remaining life potions soak the dead vines.
Fang Mu took out two more bottles of 100% pure life potion and poured them into the basin to nourish the dead vines.
Fang Mu discovered that after dozens of minutes, most of the dead vines had not changed.
But a small section of about three centimeters that was connected to the leaves was covered with green.
Fang Mu quickly cut off this small section with a knife, and the remaining part of the dead vine was completely useless.
Fang Mu took out another bottle of wood potion with 100% purity.
As a plant-based beast from the fourth or fifth era, most of them also need the nourishment of wood-attribute energy like the current plant-based beasts.
As Fang Mu poured a bottle of wood-attribute medicine into the bucket, he saw that the three-centimeter stem wound began to heal quickly.
A black, woody scab develops to prevent plant juices from flowing out of the stem.
Several translucent branches protrude from this half of the stem, growing longer.
The yellowish and half-green leaf had completely withered at this time, and a new green leaf emerged from the bulging bud on the stem.
At this moment, the life energy and wood energy in the barrel had been completely consumed by the plant.
Fang Mu took a deep breath, knowing that this plant-type beast from the fourth or fifth era, like Mingyue Jingui, had been successfully rescued by him.
The withered vine just now had completely dried up, and Fang Mu could not tell what kind of climbing plant it was from the withered vine.
Fortunately, the leaves of this vine were quite special. Based on the leaves, Fang Mu felt that this plant-type beast was very similar to a grape.
In order to confirm this, Fang Mu used the Eye of All-Knowledge to investigate the plant in the barrel that had completely come back to life.
After a quick investigation, the name of the blood-brewing grapevine appeared in Fang Mu's mind!
