Great Swordsman
Ch.35 - Plan

“Protectors Xu Feng was right, those villagers used to dare to act because the Patriarch is gone, now that we have protectors, they will not be so brave as to disturb our village again.”

Xue Lan appeared not long after, she was such a smart person that she agreed with Xu Feng's words. Xue Lan knew the other village higher-ups would not be so foolish as to offend a figure who would someday have a chance of breaking through to the Fourth Stage.

Ding Xiang heaved a sigh of relief hearing that, his village was finally able to live a peaceful life again after years of confining itself in uncertainty.

“Senior, we plan to hold a meeting to plan the development of the village, I hope you are willing to attend.” Xue Lan's.

“No need, the affairs of the village are your business, no need to bother me unless there is something important. I would instead send Gao Gao as a representative.”

Xu Feng waved his hand and refused, he had no intention of dealing with such matters, better leave it to the people who controlled the field.

He deliberately proposed to Gao Gao so that the man could use this opportunity to develop his dream.

“Good.” Xue Lan did not force it any further, she thought Xu Feng wanted to focus on his cultivation and was unwilling to be bothered.

This was nothing new, most cultivators even chose to seclude themselves for months and not throw themselves into worldly affairs, their main goal being to pursue strength and achieve immortality.

The crowd then dispersed. Xu Feng returned to the Villa and entered the room while carrying gifts given by representatives of the various villages.

“Most of them are valuable herbal plants, there is nothing I can use directly.” Xu Feng was a little disappointed, he had originally hoped there would be a Spritual Stone but it seemed like he was hoping for too far.

“Already expected, even large villages could not take out the Spiritual Stone so casually.”

Xu Feng sighed lightly, it seemed like he needed to speed up Gao Gao's development, he also had to find another way rather than just relying on Gao Gao's merchant caravan alone. It takes time to grow a business to make it big.

Xu Feng then kept all the gifts back and intended to give them to Gao Gao, the benefits would be better if sold by him to gain reputation.

Xu Feng then sat down at the table and began to think of everything that might help him obtain the Spiritual Stone quickly, but no matter how much he thought, he could not find a proper solution.

The day was getting day by day and Xu Feng had already crossed out many things on paper but everything was basically useless at all, his head almost exploded from it.

“Sial, I don't have enough information.” Xu Feng threw an ink brush and leaned against the chair, his hair was disheveled and he was a little tired after thinking all day.

As Xu Feng was occupied with his thoughts, the sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded from outside.

“Protective Greetings!” Xue Lan cupped her hands as Xu Feng opened the door, she came to give a report regarding the meeting they had just finished.

Xu Feng immediately invited him in and listened to every single thing that the old man said, the two guards who followed Xue Lan stood in front of the door, they were already assigned as the guards of Villa Xu Feng in front of him.

Xue Song as the head of the hunting team even had a great fight with the elders, he wanted that esteemed position be given to his men who had made a great contribution to the village.

Xu Feng nodded approvingly when he heard the report, he was honestly not very talented in terms of administration, his task now was simply to give approval to every decision they made. He was the boss now, such affairs were naturally left to his men.

“Oh Elder Xue Lan, do you have any information on where I can obtain the Spiritual Stone?” Xu Feng looked at Xue Lan earnestly, he hoped to obtain a satisfactory answer from this intelligent man.

“Hm, Spiritual Stone?” Xue Lan was a little surprised but immediately adjusted her emotions, she thought about it carefully and smiled wryly afterwards.

“Protectors, such valuables are very rare in this border region, basically there is no place to acquire them.”

“So so yahh.” Xu Feng sighed heavily.

Xue Lan did not understand why Xu Feng was so obsessed with Spiritual Stones. Although the item could help one cultivate, its effects were honestly not very significant.

Even without the help of the Spiritual Stone, Xue Lan believed Xu Feng could break through quickly given his definitely high talent.

Only people with low talent needed Spiritual Stones, but that did not ensure fully the person using them could break through to the next stage.

No matter how much external support one received, as long as his talent was not supportive, all resources would ultimately be wasted.

Everything will refer back to each other's internal, nothing can be separated from that fate.

“If you need it the most, the clan storage warehouse still has some legacy of Spiritual Stone.”

Xue Lan spoke without hesitation. Xu Feng was currently a part of their clan, everything that belonged to his clan belonged to Xu Feng as well, he would naturally not hide anything.

“But there are only about 10 more spiritual stones.” Xue Lan scratched her head awkwardly, she felt embarrassed for a moment. As a village that had once been a large village, calling such an amount a legacy was indeed rather embarrassing.

Xue Lan had no choice, the current Xue Village was so poor because all of their treasures and resources had already been sold out to save the lives of their severely injured Patriarch. Unfortunately even with all the treasures they sacrificed to purchase all sorts of medicinal pills, the Patriarch's life remained unsaved.

“It's okay, I understand it.” Xu Feng waved his hand with a flat expression but inwardly was already shouting in excitement. Even one Spiritual Stone was a priceless thing in Xu Feng's eyes.

Xue Lan then had one of the guards, who was Xue Yan to tell Elder Xue Gong regarding the Spiritual Stone, she naturally would not dare to delay what Xu Feng wanted.

Xue Yan immediately ran in a hurry when she heard that this matter concerned the village protector so she treated him very seriously.

Not long after that Xue Yan returned with a box of wood in her hand, she held it carefully and immediately handed it to Xu Feng respectfully.

“Protectors, please.” Xue Yan looked at Xu Feng with adoration, she honestly did not expect to be chosen as a personal guard. When he initially heard the news, he immediately cheered and boasted to his comrades and mentioned that he was the chosen one.

Xu Feng was practically an object of admiration in his heart.
