The dress in pale goose yellow was awfully simple in style. However, Fang Mu immediately recognized that the fabric was made from the new silk spun by the Glowing Morning Spider.
The Glowing Morning Spider was an extremely special type of Guardian Beast, which often dwelled in osmanthus trees and fed on the morning light.
They only produced a significant amount of silk when nurturing their offspring.
The new silk, being the first batch spun for constructing a nest, was the lightest in color and resembled the first light of dawn breaking through the night.
The silk threads produced by the Glowing Morning Spider afterward tended towards an orange-yellow, far less stunning than the first threads.
Previously, Fang Mu had no understanding of textile materials.
But it didn’t matter; beside him was She Wan, a Weaving Grandmaster.
When a person attained a certain status, their experiences and perspective inherently broadened.
The fashion was simple, yet the tailoring was intricately complex. The only decoration on the entire dress was the golden beads embroidered from the shoulder to the cuffs.
These beads were not metal but pearls produced by the golden clams from the depths of the ocean.She Wan had one such pearl, always treasured as a precious item.
However, the golden beads embroidered on Jin Ya’s garment added up to nearly forty pieces.
To the average person, Jin Ya’s attire might just seem pretty.
But those who knew better could discern Jin Ya’s background and the depth of her family’s resources from her clothes.
“Ah Mu, it has been nearly two months since we last met,”
“How was the effect of the Brilliant Golden Honey?”
“This time I’ve brought you several bottles of Brilliant Rose pollen. Burning Brilliant Rose pollen as incense also promotes the growth of spiritual power.”
“Its effects are much better than those of the Brilliant Golden Honey!”
“However, Brilliant Rose pollen is rare and usually reserved for internal family use.”
Fang Mu smiled and greeted Jin Ya without any formalities.
The things Jin Ya brought were exactly what Fang Mu needed now.
Following Qin Shao’s recovery, the Brilliant family planned to make their presence felt.
The competition organized by the Contract Garden this time was an excellent opportunity for the Brilliant family to shine.
Fang Mu took out a brocade box and handed it to Jin Ya.
“These five Flower Beads can enhance your perception of the Mysterious Patterns.”
“When you are in the phase of epiphany, consuming one can greatly increase your chances of directly comprehending the Mysterious Patterns.”
“If you wish to comprehend a specific Mysterious Pattern, you can also use these beads for assistance!”
Since Jin Ya brought out top-notch treasures as gifts for herself, she naturally had to reciprocate.
Jin Xuan and Jin Zhaoyan, following behind Fang Mu, glanced at each other, feeling that the young man and woman standing under the noon sun were a perfect match.
But neither dared to act recklessly to pair up Jin Ya and Fang Mu.
It’s best not to mix young people’s feelings with interests.
The Brilliant family would not stoop to such degrading measures.
A Saint Creator would not use a disciple’s happiness as a bargaining chip to achieve a goal.
After Fang Mu and Jin Ya finished talking, Jin Xuan was about to step forward to salute Jin Ya.
He saw Jin Ya, visibly excited, rush up to Jin Zhaoyan.
Looking at Jin Zhaoyan’s regrown left leg, Jin Ya’s eyes reddened as she spoke.
“Second Elder, your health is finally restored!”
“I didn’t believe it when I heard it from the matron!”
Jin Ya had watched Jin Zhaoyan grow up.
When Jin Zhaoyan was secretly injured, Jin Ya hadn’t been born yet.
In Jin Ya’s memory, Jin Zhaoyan had always been a kind yet somber elder wearing a prosthetic.
Jin Zhaoyan felt Jin Ya’s close and admiring emotions.
However, Jin Zhaoyan’s heart tightened, and he quickly said,
“Xiao Ya, how could anything Sir Jianmu promised not be accomplished!?”
At these words, Jin Ya stuck out her tongue lightly, casting an apologetic glance at Fang Mu.
Jin Ya, feeling quite relaxed in the presence of her friend, would not normally have spoken such out-of-character remarks.
Fang Mu smiled at Jin Ya, not minding at all.
On the contrary, Fang Mu quite liked Jin Ya’s relaxed demeanor around him.
If Jin Ya had taken the stance of a Hidden World Aristocratic Family’s young miss in social settings right in front of Fang Mu, then Fang Mu wouldn’t have needed to treat Jin Ya as a friend!
Jin Xuan timely spoke to Jin Ya.
“Miss, Sir Jianmu has already handed over those twenty Infinite Silver Silkworms to me.”
“Take a look, and then we can hand over the supplies we’ve prepared to Sir Jianmu!”
Jin Xuan knew that Fang Mu had intended to command the Earth Evil Spirit in his camp to control Mister Hei, urgently needing to absorb these newly acquired Evil Spirits to elevate his rank.
Otherwise, there was no need to wait here!
Quickly completing the trade was also a way to express goodwill to Fang Mu.
Upon hearing this, Jin Ya directly handed over a piece of spatial equipment that looked like an ornament to Fang Mu.
Spatial equipment was often made into jewelry, but an ornament-shaped item of the same rank could hold more than one shaped like jewelry!
Jin Ya trusted Fang Mu, as it was impossible for Fang Mu to play tricks in a trade with the Brilliant clan.
Jin Xuan was always careful in his actions.
Since Jin Xuan had brought it up proactively, he surely had checked the condition of those twenty Infinite Silver Silkworms.
Fang Mu stroked the ornament-shaped spatial equipment in his hands and then very seriously said to Jin Ya,
“Aya, you first sit in the first tier of the Mechanism Fortress. I need to handle some matters.”
“Once I’m done, I’ll take you around the Dragon Rising Federation to savor their variety of delicious cuisines!”
Upon hearing this, Jin Ya said with a smile,
“It just so happens I’m tired from the journey and need a good rest.”
“You take your time. Just call me when you’re done!”
After taking the ornament-shaped spatial equipment back to the second floor of the Mechanism Fortress, Fang Mu carefully inspected the supplies inside.
The Brilliant clan not only delivered the promised supplies in full but had also given him some extra Souls of Death.
Fang Mu first handed these Souls of Death to Liu Xi, allowing Liu Xi to freely absorb them.
Then, Fang Mu called Yisi from the secret room, instructing her to release the Evil Spirits from the spatial equipment at Liu Xi’s request,
feeding them one by one to Liu Xi.
With Fang Mu’s current strength, he was completely unsuited for this job.
It’s known that the Handsome Rank Evil Spirits, just a step away from Earth Evil Spirits, possess power on the level of the Sequential.
If these Evil Spirits struggled during Liu Xi’s absorption process, it would affect the absorption effect and prolong the duration.
Yisi could control these Evil Spirits, preventing them from struggling while being absorbed by Liu Xi.
These more than forty Evil Spirits hadn’t been thoroughly examined by Fang Mu; he had only preliminarily confirmed their numbers.
Later, when Yisi was feeding these Evil Spirits to Liu Xi, Fang Mu would examine each of them.
In Yisi’s envious gaze, Liu Xi, along with the help of Blood Aged Wine, absorbed the Souls of Death at a rapid pace.
After concentrating on absorbing Souls of Death for over half an hour, Liu Xi suddenly opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Yisi quickly released an Evil Spirit, then used Blood Magic to imprison this robust and tall Evil Spirit.
As the Evil Spirit continued to struggle and roar, it was brought before Liu Xi.
Liu Xi gently inhaled toward the Evil Spirit.
The Evil Spirit had its energy extracted, continuously flowing into Liu Xi’s body.
Fang Mu could sharply feel the aura of this Evil Spirit rapidly weakening.
It was like dropping ice into boiling water.
This Evil Spirit’s ability was to build up power for a burst, condensing its force at one point during an attack to produce an effect far more powerful than its inherent strength.
Many Guardian Beasts possess this ability.
Though showy, it lacks irreplaceability.
If such an Evil Spirit were obtained by other forces, they would likely not spend resources to transform it into a Spirit of Hero.
One by one, the Evil Spirits were continuously fed to Liu Xi by Yisi.
Each time Liu Xi devoured an Evil Spirit, it absorbed nearly one hundred milliliters of Blood Aged Wine.
Meanwhile, Yisi, who was feeding him, was experiencing a heart-wrenching feeling of intense desire yet helplessness.
It was like someone who had been hungry for three days watching a food broadcast that was very appetizing.
As Yisi was releasing an Evil Spirit from the spatial equipment as usual, Fang Mu’s pupils sharply shrank upon seeing the ability of this Evil Spirit.
