As soon as the words left Lu Xiaoyin’s mouth, reason triumphed over emotion.

Lu Xiaoyin immediately realized just how abrupt his proposition had been.

From the moment he first laid eyes on Jianmu to now, not much time had passed.

Jianmu, aside from the courtesies Lu Xiaoyin had extended to him, had only asked for his assistance two or three times.

In this context, Lu Xiaoyin’s sudden offer had been somewhat presumptuous.

Lu Xiaoyin was terrified of seeing impatience or disgust in Fang Mu’s eyes in response to his untimely suggestion.

As Lu Xiaoyin’s anxiety peaked, a clear, cheerful voice sounded in his ear. “To become my guard, you’ll have to sacrifice not only your loyalty but your freedom as well,’

“Start by accomplishing the task at hand!”

The words of Fang Mu sounded like those of a passive, irresponsible man who refuses nothing.

Uncommitted yet non-rejecting.

But to Lu Xiaoyin’s ears, the words elicited a surge of excitement.

Fang Mu had neither agreed nor dismissed Xiaoyin’s request.

That meant he still had a chance!

Duty and loyalty were a must for a guard.

As for freedom …

Thinking about it, Lu Xiaoyin hesitated.

But if he could gain access to resources like the elusive Flame-winged Lion Scorpion Shedding to transform Glory Lion Scorpion, then what’s freedom counted for!

By sacrificing his freedom to Fang Mu, as he gained power elsewhere, he would ultimately attain even greater freedom.

Not even twenty minutes later, Lu Xiaoyin returned to Fang Mu’s working room.

According to Fang Mu’s requirements, he had made all the necessary arrangements.

Employing senior creators with a pure Life Elixir of eighty percent, a resource that even advanced creators could not create, was remarkably easy.

Lu Xiaoyin specifically found a reputable senior creator for Fang Mu.

This senior creator happened to have a few elixirs that could supplement soul energy.

Within the Creator’s Guild warehouse, they also had a stock of nearly twelve bottles.

The direct use of spirit materials was a significant waste.

Lu Xiaoyin bundled up all those cost-effective spirit materials that could supplement soul energy.

He then handed them all over to the employed senior creator.

He also posted a request within the guild for a long-term purchase of elixirs that could supplement soul energy.

Looking at the sixteen tubes of soul power replenishing elixirs before him.

Fang Mu witnessed Lu Xiaoyin’s efficiency.

Taking a soul energy-supplementing elixir would stress the soul.

Fang Mu would only be able to consume one bottle a day.

These elixirs would last Fang Mu for sixteen days.

After sixteen days, the hired senior creator would certainly have formulated some of the elixirs.

The reward Lu Xiaoyin had offered for his request was enticing enough.

There would undoubtedly be creators who would be willing to swap the elixirs they had created, which could supplement soul energy, for the reward.

Lu Xiaoyin handed the completed long list to Fang Mu.

Lu Xiaoyin understood very clearly in his heart that if Fang Mu wanted to test him, it would not only be about his work efficiency but also his ability to negotiate prices.

As Fang Mu looked over the list, Lu Xiaoyin added,

“The spiritual materials that can be purchased directly from the guild are priced transparently.”

“With my authority, I can obtain a discount of up to 5%.”

“The prices of the spiritual materials on the list are all after the discount.” “The name of the hired senior creator is He Deen.’

“Among the senior creators I know, he is one of the most reputed ones.”

“He is very meticulous in preparing Spiritual Liquid, and he has never made any mistakes.”

“His price, assuming material provision, is 250,000 Dragon Rising Coins per elixir.”

“I managed to negotiate it down to 230,000 per elixir.”

“At the same time, he gave a guarantee of a minimum yield of twelve elixirs per month.”

“A Life Elixir with a purity of 80% generally sells for around 17 million Dragon

Rising Coins at private auctions held by Master Creators.”

“Due to the rare channel provided by the Master Creator, I set the price of each elixir at 20 million.”

“When the time comes, those creators will adopt a pooling method where every sixty soul energy supplementing elixirs are worth one 80% pure Life Elixir.”

As Lu Xiaoyin was reporting to Fang Mu, his voice was loud and clear, with a face full of candidness.

Firstly, Lu Xiaoyin did not profit from the process, that is, he did not play the middleman, earning from price differences.

Secondly, Lu Xiaoyin used his authority to do the best he could.

If this was still not satisfactory to Jianmu, Lu Xiaoyin could do nothing else.

Fang Mu calculated the costs in his head.

Given the high price of the spirit materials and the time required to prepare them, each elixir to supplement soul energy should be more expensive than a Life Elixir of sixty percent purity.

Yet, Lu Xiaoyin managed to lower the price by combining orders to split the cost of the eighty-percent pure Life Elixirs equally.

Fang Mu was very satisfied with Lu Xiaoyin’s methods.

Even though he now possessed an elixir that can replenish soul energy, which can help him hatch the offspring of the Covenant Servant Soul Ant Queen faster,

It would still take a few days to hatch the first offspring.

Fang Mu cleared his throat and then looked seriously at Lu Xiaoyin as he said,

“As of now, you are the leader of the servants.”

“I’ll give you a few days to consider. After a few days, I will approach you about it.”

“If by that time, you’re still willing to give up your freedom, then come be my personal steward!”

“Instead of a guard, being a personal steward suits you better!”

“As for the benefits, they will certainly be greater than what you have now!”

Fang Mu firmly believed that any relationship, if chosen freely, should be a two-way commitment.

Fang Mu appreciated Lu Xiaoyin’s meticulousness, attention to detail, and efficiency.

That’s why he chose Lu Xiaoyin to be his personal steward.

Fang Mu also planned to give Lu Xiaoyin the opportunity to choose.

Because once parasitized by the [Soul-Hosting Parasite Progeny], it would be too late for Lu Xiaoyin to change his mind!

Apart from initial benefits, Fang Mu hoped Lu Xiaoyin would choose him because he sees a better future.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoyin nodded earnestly.

Even though Lu Xiaoyin had already made plans.

He decided not to be rash and make declarations before Fang Mu questioned him.

The fact that Fang Mu was willing to say this showed that he appreciated thorough people.

If Lu Xiaoyin were to state now that he needed no consideration, it would make him seem impulsive.

An impulsive person cannot handle a position like a personal steward. In a few days, he would leave the Creator’s Guild and resign from his position as the leader of the servants.

Lu Xiaoyin intended to fulfil his last duties.

It could be considered a repayment to the Creator’s Guild for raising him!

As for the resources he needed to return to the guild, Lu Xiaoyin had already saved enough by last September.

He did not need to request Fang Mu to bear the burden for him again.

After Lu Xiaoyin left the workroom, Fang Mu drank a bottle of elixir in his hand that could supplement soul energy..
