This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

"True Master Shen, there's no need for formalities."

Li Fei stood up and helped Shen Zhen, preventing her from actually kneeling down:

"In fact, I am the one who benefits from this, and I should be the one thanking you."

After Shen Zhen got up, she looked at Li Fei and sincerely said:

"In the next five years, my Nightmare Sect can allocate up to thirty percent of our resources to the Marquis each year, and it won't drop below ten percent in the future!"

Li Fei was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.

The practice in this world is inseparable from various resources, and most of these resources are monopolized.

Money is something Li Fei currently doesn't lack.

After taking over the entire Datong Prefecture World and establishing the Feixin Trading Company, the annual profits under his influence are substantial.

What Li Fei truly lacks is a channel to purchase resources.

Although he also has an Exotic Beast Breeding Farm and an Exotic Beast Food Plantation obtained from the 'Beast King' that can be used for trading with other forces,

he still cannot achieve self-sufficiency.

Just in terms of Implants, the Exotic Beast Breeding Farms Li Fei owns mainly breed lower grade Exotic Beasts, and the combined number of mid-third grade Exotic Beasts does not exceed ten, which is simply not enough.

Moreover, apart from Implants, cultivation requires the use of Cultivation Techniques, Elixirs, various Magic casting materials, and so on.

These things circulate very little on the market, and even when available, they are exceedingly expensive.

The vast majority of Jianghu Wanderers work hard for years, even decades, only to finally save enough money to buy the Cultivation Techniques, Implants, or Elixirs they desire, only to find them sold out, or the prices increased...

This is the current situation in the Cultivation World.

The court possesses the world's largest Exotic Beast Breeding Farms and Elixir plantations, as well as the most extensive range of Cultivation Techniques.

Other than that, those who can somewhat achieve 'self-sufficiency' are mainly the top forces.

These Sects and Aristocratic Families have been inherited for over a hundred years, breeding Exotic Beasts and cultivating and refining Elixirs themselves; they ensure the complete supply of their required Implants, Elixirs, and Artifact Refining materials for the few Tao Foundations or Magic Artifacts they control.

Though the Nightmare Sect is not a top force, its own strength ranks among the best in the entire Qing Province, otherwise, Shen Zhen could not have been elected as a Blue Patrol Pavilion Member. Additionally, because of the unique nature of its Magic, the Nightmare Sect has connections with many Sects and Aristocratic Families.

Hence, the resource channels of the Nightmare Sect are not much inferior to the top forces.

Shen Zhen's promise to allocate thirty percent of her Sect's resources each year to Li Fei for the next five years shows great sincerity!

Even if the Nightmare Sect has leftover resources each year, they would not exceed ten percent. Allocating thirty percent of resources implies willingly reducing her Sect's expenses and slowing down the training of its Disciples to support Li Fei!

Thirty percent of the Nightmare Sect's resources is significantly more than the annual share of a Marquis.

Regarding the transaction price, neither party discussed it, nor was there a need to.

At this level, money is no longer an issue.

"Thank you, True Master Shen."

Li Fei bowed and thanked Shen Zhen.

"It is the Nightmare Sect that owes the Marquis a favor."

Shen Zhen said earnestly, "Should the Marquis have any requests in the future, feel free to ask!"

This promise carries more weight than the annual thirty percent share!

Leaving aside the strength of the Nightmare Sect itself, its connections likely rank among the top three among all forces.

These connections can now be used by Li Fei.

Li Fei thanked her once again and invited her to sit down.

He could make exorbitant demands on the Nightmare Sect and make a hefty profit.

But if he did, it would be a one-time deal, leaving no foundation for friendship, and even possibly resentment.

As it stands now,

Li Fei obtained the resource share he needed most and gained a favor, which could provide more support in the future.

The Nightmare Sect retrieved its Sect treasure and established a relationship with Li Fei in the process.

Both sides were delighted.

"However, the Dream Command cannot be given to you immediately, as I still have some matters to attend to."

Li Fei said to Shen Zhen.

Thinking Li Fei was referring to the resources, Shen Zhen immediately replied:

"Of course, when I return, the Sect will draft a list to pass to the Marquis, listing the annual resources under the Nightmare Sect's control. The Marquis can select desired items from the list, converting them into the thirty percent share."

Li Fei realized Shen Zhen misunderstood.

He wasn't waiting to finalize the resource share before relinquishing the Dream Command, but because someone—the 'Old Grandpa'—still resided within the Dream Command.

The True Spirit of Qing Ding True Master's Lifebound Magic Item, which had dwindled initially, ultimately resided in the Dream Command.

The True Spirit of a Lifebound Magic Item is, of course, most suited to 'reside' within another Lifebound Magic Item.

But the other Lifebound Magic Items in the world all have owners, with only the True One Magical Artifact being an 'unowned empty house'.

Now that Li Fei plans to return the Dream Command to the Nightmare Sect, Qing Ding True Master must be given a new 'home'.

And he indeed has a 'ready house', which is his Flying Sword Body.

His True Spirit is the owner of the house, and Qing Ding True Master can be regarded as the tenant.

As long as the owner does not expel them, the tenant can live there peacefully.

However, 'moving' requires a process, so Li Fei needs some time to prepare.

Yet, he did not elaborate further, and with a smile, continued chatting with Shen Zhen before suddenly saying:

"Is it convenient for True Master Shen to do me a favor?"

Shen Zhen: "Marquis, just say the word."

Li Fei: "I would like to have a duel with someone in the Illusion Realm, and I request True Master Shen's assistance in enhancing the illusion's limits and realism."

Shen Zhen laughed: "A trivial matter. Marquis, feel free to proceed."

Such matters are indeed 'daily business' for the Nightmare Sect, though few can invite this Supreme Elder to personally intervene.
