Chapter 127: Life 65, Age 20, Martial Disciple Peak
Zhuge Yan and the others had gone to the library, so I waited in my dormitory for a few hours thinking through plans for the remainder of this life. When I was confident that he had returned, I left to visit him.
Shortly after I knocked on his door, he opened it up and invited me inside.
He looked concerned when he saw me. “Fang, what’s going on? Is there a problem?”
“I… need your help. I’ve decided to leave the Academy. I need to ascend quickly. I don’t have time to take the classes here.”
He nodded and gestured for me to continue.
“I’m confident that I can get through the Master and Grandmaster realms quickly, but becoming a Martial Lord is going to be a problem. I need access to karmic energy. I know you and the others have connections. I was hoping your family, or possibly one of the others’ families, would be willing to sell a nominal lordship.”
I reached into my storage space and pulled out several bottles of Rank 4 pills.
“If you think they would be willing, I can trade several of these pills in exchange.”
Yan picked up each of the pill bottles and closely examined them before putting them back down.
