CHAPTER 853: CHAPTER 515: THE OVERARCHING TREND

Ji Xinghuo helped Wang Zizhen decide the direction of evolution, then took out a bag from his backpack and handed it to Ye Dongyun, "Big Sis, this is for you."

"I have one too?"

Ye Dongyun was surprised and delighted.

She knew very well that besides Ji Xinghuo, Zhong Ming and Wang Zizhen had the highest talents in the family, so her third brother had prepared the top-grade Alien Species and Strange items for them.

Her own talent was much worse.

Even with the best resources, the hope of advancing to Legendary in this life was very slim, so she dared not expect too much.

"Big Sis has worried so much for our family, of course I wouldn’t forget." Ji Xinghuo smiled, "Quickly, see what it is."

"Thank you, Third Brother."

Ye Dongyun opened the bag and found that inside were packets of plant samples. She had been a Plant Witch for nearly three years, learning about plant knowledge every day, and had obtained a Ph.D. in botany. She instantly recognized that these samples were very valuable.

Green Lock Dragon, Flying Dragon Palm Blood, Giant Thorn Forest, Storm Fir Leaf, Death Pepper, Fire Tree Silver Flower, Jade Spirit Leaf, and so on...

More plant samples she couldn’t recognize.

There were more than a hundred varieties in total, covering all functional types that a Plant Witch needed, able to be used for displaying abilities or planting and cultivation.

Besides plant samples, there were more than a dozen Plant Witch-related Alien Species, some included within Professional Templates, some being Ultra-model Alien Species, and multiple Strange items and potions, the most important being a manual.

Ye Dongyun flipped through the manual and her heartbeat accelerated instantly.

This manual wasn’t thick, the handwriting graceful and flowing, accompanied by detailed illustrations, describing the cultivation methods of dozens of precious plants, various application scenarios and effects, and combinations of multiple plants.

Treatment, protection, enhancement, physical damage, and energy damage, control, cultivation, pharmacy, were all very complete.

This clearly looked like the insights of a strong Plant Witch.

"Xinghuo, where did all these come from?" Ye Dongyun closed the manual, feeling very excited.

"A friend." Ji Xinghuo replied.

Ye Dongyun asked again, "She must be a Plant Witch, right?"

"Exactly." Ji Xinghuo nodded, "Before I returned to Earth this time, I specially visited her to prepare these plant samples and Alien Species for Big Sis, along with the cultivation manual. I thought Big Sis would like them."

"More than just liking them, they are too important to me." Ye Dongyun was overjoyed, "You must express my gratitude to that senior."

Ji Xinghuo smiled, "Big Sis will meet her in the future, and you can thank her in person."

"Who is it? So mysterious." Ye Dongyun was very curious.

"It’s a secret for now."

Seeing Ji Xinghuo didn’t want to reveal, Ye Dongyun didn’t press for details and happily put away the large bag of plant samples. She had opened up a garden with an area of over ten thousand square meters in her own villa, meant for planting various plants, and she was going to be busy next.

The siblings chatted joyously until late at night before returning to their rooms to rest.

Ji Xinghuo went to see An Yitian.

"Xinghuo." An Yitian welcomed Ji Xinghuo into the room and after sitting down, said, "The security contract we signed expired a month ago. At that time, Ms. Ye said to wait for you to come back and decide, what are you planning now?"

Ji Xinghuo had signed a two-year contract with his security company.

The agreement was for five hundred Ether Crystals per year.

"If Senior An agrees, I’d like to renew it for three years at the original price," Ji Xinghuo had already decided.

Though he was back, which provided better security, he couldn’t protect his family all the time, so it was best to have personal bodyguards stationed, not only to prevent Shi Hongyi’s dark tactics but to consider more factors.

The coming few months to years, Earth’s situation would greatly upheave, and as a key figure within, he must remain vigilant.

The An siblings had been very professional these two years, making the investment worthwhile.

"Three years..."

An Yitian was quite tempted.

Five hundred Ether Crystals per year was the highest unit price since he founded the security company, earning easily.

He showed some hesitation, shaking his head, "Xinghuo, Zhisu and I were planning to attempt a breakthrough to Heavenly King in these two years, three years is a bit too long."

"Six hundred Ether Crystals per year." Ji Xinghuo immediately increased the price.

The lifespan of a Legendary Mutant was long, three years wouldn’t delay much, besides An Yitian and An Zhisu, the siblings weren’t even at the Legendary pinnacle, the so-called breakthrough to Heavenly King was merely an excuse.

An extra hundred Ether Crystals per year was just small change for him, but on an Ether Crystal scarce Earth, it showed sincere intent.

An Yitian felt a bit embarrassed.

He was originally just probing, and didn’t expect Ji Xinghuo to be so generous, "Then let’s renew for three years; we’ll sign the contract tomorrow."

"The safety of my family for the next three years relies on Senior An." Ji Xinghuo said solemnly.

An Yitian responded loudly, "I will definitely do my best!"

His quick agreement was not only due to the high returns but also from detecting Ji Xinghuo’s complete difference this time upon return. Previously, he just thought Ji Xinghuo had formidable strength vastly superior to his own, but now he couldn’t comprehend him at all, unfathomable.

This led him to guess that Ji Xinghuo might very well have already ascended to Heavenly King.

A Heavenly King not yet thirty years old!

On Earth, certainly a figure of unprecedented greatness, naturally calling for a deeper relation on a good existing base between both.

"I won’t disturb Senior An’s rest then."

Ji Xinghuo stood up to say goodbye.

He transformed into lightning and soared into the sky, vanishing across the night sky from An Yitian’s view. An Yitian looked toward Chang’an and couldn’t help but exclaim, "That terrifying speed... Just what level has he reached now?"
