Chapter 504: Show Weakness

"It's very simple, I need you to help me find all the medicinal materials on it, and as for the Yuan Stone cost to find these medicinal materials, I will bear it myself." Fang Yan's expression was straight, and he said seriously: "But the premise is that these medicinal materials must be found within three years, and all of them must be found, and it will not be a month late." ”

He knew very well that in this boundless sea where he was unfamiliar with life, in this boundless sea where resources were scarce, it was not easy to find those medicinal materials by relying on his strength alone. Even, whether he can find it is unknown.

However, the Qingzhu Pavilion may have hundreds of thousands of years of roots in this sea area, and it is undoubtedly much easier for them to help find it, at least, than it is for him to find it alone.

Hearing this, the cloaked woman's expression moved, if she just helped him find it, she didn't need to pay the huge cost of buying these medicinal materials, it would not be a difficult matter. She carefully examined the two pieces of silk cloth, and after a moment, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her beautiful face.

"Childe, more than half of the medicinal materials on these two lists are very rare, and I haven't even heard of a few of them, and it's still unknown whether there are these medicinal materials in the boundless sea." The woman in the cloak looked at Fang Yan uneasily, and said a little weakly: "If you want to find all these medicinal materials within three years, I don't dare to agree." ”

Fang Yan's brows furrowed tightly, and he lowered his head and muttered silently.

The woman in the cloak tried her best to win him over, and at this time, she would definitely not tell lies to deceive him. If she could do it, she would definitely not say such unconfident words. After all, she knew better than anyone that if she said something like this, she would most likely refuse her offer.

In this way, what she said was the truth. This meant that he might not be able to find all the medicinal materials needed by the two people in Death Valley in this sea. If that's the case, the consequences are really serious.

......Seeing that Fang Yan was silent, the cloaked woman said with some uneasiness: "I really don't dare to guarantee that I can find all these medicinal materials, but I can promise you that as long as there are these medicinal materials in this sea area, I will do my best to help you obtain them." ”

It could also be seen from her nervous expression that she was indeed very worried that Fang Yan would refuse because she would not agree to this condition.

Fang Yan sighed in his heart, and then nodded slightly. He also knew that the other party would say such a thing, and he had already reached her limit. If there were really no such medicinal herbs in this sea, she would not have been able to get them anyway.

"Childe, you mean you agreed?" Seeing Fang Yan nodded, the cloaked woman asked happily.

"As long as you can keep the agreement between us, I can answer your request." Fang Yan nodded.

"Childe, rest assured, I will never break our agreement." The woman showed joy, but soon, she seemed to think of something again, and was a little embarrassed: "However, I have a small request that I hope the son can fulfill." ”

"What requirements?"

"Regarding the agreement between us, only the two of us can know, and externally, I will still claim that Gongzi has joined the Qingzhu Pavilion and is the official elder of the Qingzhu Pavilion." The cloak woman looked at him cautiously and said, "In other words, except for me, everyone in this sea area will think that Childe has really joined the Qingzhu Pavilion and become a member of the Qingzhu Pavilion. ”

Fang Yan was slightly stunned, but after thinking about it, he nodded in response. After all, he didn't have any loss by joining Qingzhu Pavilion, on the contrary, he also got a lot of benefits, and it didn't matter if the other party borrowed his name. Although she didn't say why she did it, he also vaguely guessed something based on what she had said before.

Seeing that Fang Yan agreed, the cloak woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at him and asked, "Doesn't Childe ask me why I did this?" ”

"With my strength, it is naturally impossible to say that I want to use it to deter other forces." Fang Yan smiled and said, "The reason why you did this should be to give the disciples of Qingzhu Pavilion some morale, right?" ”

"Childe is really smart." The woman in the cloak smiled, but the smile was a bit far-fetched.

"During the years of my master's absence, the power of Qingzhu Pavilion has been declining, and for the safety of my disciples, I have been ordering them to keep a low profile. But even so, there will still be disciples of other forces who take the initiative to provoke them, and over the years, they have really suffered a lot of grievances. If they knew that there was an elder in the door, they would be very excited. ”

"If you blindly tolerate it, you will only let other forces gain an inch. Not only that, but it will also make the disciples feel cold. Fang Yan shook his head and said, "Instead of blindly forbearing, it is better to attack head-on and give those who provoke Qingzhu Pavilion a cruel lesson, so that they will not dare to violate again." ”

"Childe doesn't know." The cloaked woman said with some bitterness: "Some forces that are about to move have never dared to take the initiative to attack us because they are afraid of my master. If we fight back, it will be exactly what they want, and give them an excuse to annex us. ”

Fang Yan replied disapprovingly: "You think too simply, if they really have the guts to annex you, they don't need excuses at all, they would have done it a long time ago." And they have been delaying because they have scruples. I don't know if you've thought about it, but you've been putting up with it like this, but you're sending a message to these forces, a message of weakness. Your blind forbearance is undoubtedly telling the forces of the entire sea that you don't know when your master will come back, or you don't know if your master will come back. ”

The woman in the cloak was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned pale, without a trace of blood.

She only thought about letting her disciples keep a low profile so as not to get into trouble, but she never thought that the consequences of keeping a low profile would be so serious.

Thinking about it carefully, what Fang Yan said is not unreasonable, she has been tolerating it like this, saying that it sounds good is low-key, and saying that it is bad is indeed showing weakness to other forces. In this way, after a long time, those forces that are ready to move are very likely to detect something from her forbearance, and even more may misunderstand something.

"You said your master left this sea eight years ago?" Fang Yan suddenly thought of something, and asked out loud in shock.

The woman in the cloak looked at him puzzled and nodded slightly.

"So, you were only a teenager when you took over this force?"
