“That’s what our Young Master intended,” Elder Chen explained his Young Master’s intentions to Feng Tianlan as well as the Ruyi Trade House’s origins. Then, he added, “We will respect your wishes, Master Shen. Our Young Master will not force his will on you.”

Feng Tianlan tugged her left index finger with her right hand. It was a habit she had whenever she pored over a problem. This habit had stayed with her even though she had already reincarnated once.

Originally, the Ruyi Trade House had been one of the Shang family’s businesses. The massacre of the Shangs ten years ago had severed Ruyi Trade House’s chain of capital, resulting in the loss of customers. Now, the Shang family lived in a remote town west of the Lieken Mountains. The entire family inhabited the town without ever setting foot outside. It was all to protect their secret: a rich crystal mine.

The crystal mines produced Spiritual Crystals, which could aid and facilitate cultivation. A traitor within the Shang family had leaked information about the Shang family’s crystal mines to the outside. This had instigated a calamity that had wiped out the entire clan. It was total annihilation, and every single soul in the town had been killed. Thousands of residents—all butchered in a single night!

“So, what Master Shang’s saying is that he wants me to find out who the traitor is and take revenge for him? If I succeed, not only will he give me the Ruyi Tradehouse, but he will also hand me the map of the crystal mines and put all of you under my orders?” Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrow slightly and looked at Elder Chen.

Thousands of clansmen murdered in a single night…any human being would want revenge.

Elder Chen looked down and answered, “Yes.”

“So far, Master Shang knows that the traitor must be in the Flying Frost Pavilion, Guiyuan Continent’s top sect. He is in a position higher than an Elder.” Feng Tianlan picked up the most critical pieces of information. “So, you mean for me to make enemies with the top sect?”

“Young Master has instructed that we must follow what Master Shen decides. This will be a task for which one risks one’s life,” Elder Chen replied, his head still hung low.

Flying Frost Pavilion was the Guiyuan Continent’s top sect. With many powerhouses under them, even external disciples were at the stage of Spiritual Master. The weakest novice disciple would be at least a Spiritual Grandmaster, let alone the Mentors and Elders…

With such a powerful and dominant sect as their foe, they must be prepared to lose their lives. Making enemies with them was like smashing an egg against a rock.

Feng Tianlan looked at him curiously and chuckled. “Aren’t you worried that I might go back on my word after making this promise?”

True enough, pitting herself against the top sect was a suicide mission. However, Feng Tianlan was extremely interested in that crystal mine. She needed to develop a sphere of influence that she could call her own, a force strong enough to pulverize everything in its way.

Back on the Xuantian Continent, there were the Shens, the Jiangs, and the two powerful Alliances, none of which she could destroy with her power alone. Not only would she need an incredibly powerful faction, but she would also need to train them up within a short time. She could not achieve that with pill medicines alone, as all medicines contained mild toxicity with side effects. However, if she used Spiritual Crystals instead of pill medicines, there would be no side effects at all.

She was immensely interested in that rich crystal mine. Also, it had been a decade since the Shang Family Massacre, yet these subordinates had remained loyal. That saved Feng Tianlan the time and effort to test them. What lay before her eyes was a shortcut!

“Our Young Master said that he would not use a man he doubts, and he would never doubt the man he uses. The Young Master has gone all-in with this final bet,” Elder Chen said gravely, then raised his head with a smile. “Moreover, we all believe in Master Shen’s character.”

Feng Tianlan laughed softly, then answered, feeling refreshed, “Alright. I accept the deal.”

With a crystal mine that could produce abundant Spiritual Crystals, she could build a faction of her own in no time. Right from the start, she had always been someone who put her life at stake. This deal, therefore, was nothing but beneficial.
