I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 181: Chapter 109: Cang Province, Piyao Essence

"Yes, that much is true." Hong Miaojin nodded, then said, "Have you ever considered that if you were transferred away in the future, it would be quite a shame?"

"I believe it’s the same no matter where I am. It’s all in service to the Court."

Fang Xing said with a solemn expression.

Hong Miaojin looked at him, then rose and walked over to stand before him, her bright eyes fixed on him. "What if I wanted you to come work for me? Would you be willing?"

Hearing Hong Miaojin’s straightforward words, Fang Xing took a slight step back. "I will obey the arrangements."

’If Nangong Qing hadn’t already spoken to me, I might have tried to refuse. But since he already has, refusing would be futile.’

’With Hong Miaojin’s status, power, and background, transferring a Commander couldn’t be easier.’

’The Observatory is an important backer, at least for now.’

Hearing Fang Xing’s answer, Hong Miaojin nodded lightly. "Very good. Rest assured, what Nangong Qing can offer, I can offer. What he cannot, I can offer as well."

A single sentence, simple yet domineering!

’With immense power and a Heaven-Reaching background, she could indeed do so easily.’

"I am honored by your high regard, Your Excellency. I will strive to improve," Fang Xing said, bowing slightly.

Upon hearing this, Hong Miaojin’s face broke into a radiant smile.

...

Before long, Zhou Yu returned.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s return, Hong Miaojin looked at him and rose, saying, "Take Fang Xing and show him around. Then take him to his arranged residence. See that he is not slighted."

"Understood." Zhou Yu nodded, looking very happy.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I will take my leave now," Fang Xing said, rising.

Hong Miaojin nodded lightly. "Mm, go and get some proper rest. If anything comes up, I’ll contact you with the Sound Transmission Bell."

Fang Xing then left with Zhou Yu.

Watching their departing figures, Hong Miaojin sat in her chair, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop.

’It seems I’ve poached the right person this time. I wonder what other surprises he has in store...’

’It’s a pity his strength is still a little lacking. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be out of the question to put him directly in the position of Vice Marshal.’

’I’ll just have to wait and see. I’ve recruited a great talent; I can’t let him go to waste.’

The thoughts flashed through her mind, and Hong Miaojin immediately rose and left the main hall.

...

At the Cang Province Observatory, Zhou Yu led Fang Xing on a tour.

The Merit Hall, the Celestial Hall, the Library Pavilion...

After they had familiarized themselves with the surroundings, he stopped and looked at Fang Xing. "Brother Fang, that’s the gist of it. To be honest, all the provincial Observatories are more or less the same. You just need to know where the important departments are."

Fang Xing nodded slightly, cupping his fists with a smile. "Many thanks, Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yu beamed at him. "Brother Fang, once your secondment is complete, it probably won’t be long before you’re officially here. We’ll be on the same side then, so there’s no need to be so formal."

"Come on, let me show you where you’ll be staying for now."

Fang Xing nodded and followed Zhou Yu out of the Observatory.

After leaving the Observatory, it wasn’t long before Zhou Yu led Fang Xing to the gate of a large residence.

In front of the gate, two enormous stone lions stood guard on either side.

They were majestic and imposing!

The residence’s plaque was inscribed with large characters.

Qingfeng Villa!

"Brother Fang, this was Lord Hong’s previous residence. No one has ever received this kind of treatment," Zhou Yu said with a grin.

"Her Excellency is too kind. In the future, I will be sure to complete the tasks she arranges," Fang Xing said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled. "With Her Excellency’s help, your future is bound to be great. Come, let’s go take a look inside."

With that, Zhou Yu opened the gate and went inside.

Fang Xing followed him in.

Qingfeng Villa was vast, with a front courtyard, a central courtyard, a rear courtyard, long corridors, gardens, and even a dedicated martial arts training ground.

’For one person, this place was almost obscenely spacious.’

’This was the first time I’ve ever received such incredible treatment.’

After a full tour, Fang Xing had a basic understanding of the residence’s layout.

"It might be a little lonely living here by yourself, Lord Fang. How about I arrange some servants for you? Don’t worry, I guarantee they’ll all be lovely young maidens, every one of them a beauty."

Zhou Yu gave him a wink.

"..."

"No, thank you. I’m only staying here temporarily and will have to move later anyway, so there’s no need to go to the trouble," Fang Xing said, shaking his head.

"Alright then. If you need anything, just contact me with the Sound Transmission Bell." Zhou Yu didn’t insist.

Fang Xing nodded, and soon after, Zhou Yu took his leave.

After seeing Zhou Yu off, Fang Xing closed the gate, and a powerful wave of Mental Power suddenly swept out.

His Mental Power enveloped the entire residence, from top to bottom.

Only after confirming there were no issues did he retract the Power of Mental.

’One must always take the proper precautions.’

He walked into a bedroom where a faint, fresh fragrance lingered in the air.

In a corner of the room was high-grade Sandalwood, used for both adding fragrance and eliminating odors. It was also a type of Treasure Medicine that could maintain its fresh scent year-round.

All of life’s daily necessities were provided.

Everything was brand new.

Fang Xing wasn’t picky about his living quarters.

A villa this luxurious was a rare indulgence.

After all, in a place like the Prefecture City, every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.

’Of course, with his financial resources, buying a place like this wouldn’t be a major issue.’

’The wealth plundered from slaying Demons and Monsters was an astonishing sum.’

Sitting on the bed, Fang Xing checked his current Enhancement Points.

His gains from this trip were likewise substantial.

He had reaped a full 340,000 Enhancement Points, which, added to his existing savings, brought his total to over 360,000.

An astonishing figure from a single harvest.

’360,000...’

Looking at the Enhancement Points on his panel, Fang Xing then took out the two Demon Cores.

These were the Inner Cores from the two Demons and Monsters he had slain earlier.

Both were Demon Cores from High Realm Great Demons.

’Enhance.’

With a single thought, the Demon Core in his hand was instantly enveloped in a scarlet glow.

[The Inner Core of a High Realm Great Demon has been successfully enhanced. You have obtained one Pure Piyao Essence!]

’Piyao Essence...’

Looking at the Divine Beast Essence that the Bear Demon Core had been enhanced into, Fang Xing was slightly taken aback.

’A new item!’
