Chapter 57 Setting Goals
"Can."
"Yes, the pills are ready and will be served shortly."
"Young man, I'd like to continue employing you as my protector for a while longer. Do you have the time?"
I'll be free in seven or eight days.
"Excellent! I plan to hire you to continue protecting me and my family for about ten more days starting seven days later. The basic fee is ten thousand silver dollars per day, and if a battle at the Gold level or above occurs, an additional one hundred thousand silver dollars or more will be added for each instance. What do you think?"
"Okay, but I will only be responsible for protecting you and a few close relatives you designate. During the protection period, you must follow my instructions regarding security matters."
"In addition, this time the reward will also be settled with the Great Essence Divine Pill. When I meet you in seven or eight days, you need to get the pill worth 50,000 silver dollars first."
"No problem, please come here again. I will pay you eighty Great Spirit Pills in advance."
"Young man, is it settled then?"
"It's a deal."
Fu Jianming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With so much time, he should be able to resolve this crisis.
After working together for a while and getting to know each other better, he believed that the relationship between the Fu family and Dong Guanfei would become even stronger.
Compared to resolving this crisis, befriending Dong Guanfei and the forces behind him is no less important.
An hour later, Dong Guanfei took his leave, carrying a leather suitcase filled with pills.
Fu Jianming had already arranged for someone to buy him a first-class ticket and for a driver to take him to the train station.
In the early hours of the morning, Dong Guanfei successfully boarded the first-class carriage of the late-night express train.
This time, with no one to disturb him, he was able to focus on his future plans.
With the 150 universal points contributed by Lolina, he believed he would make rapid progress again in the next few days, so he deliberately set aside seven days.
With these five hundred Great Spirit-Nourishing Pills, he can cultivate both of his spiritual techniques to the eighth spiritual node.
After the events of the past few days, he began to intentionally befriend warlords and financial magnates like the Qian and Fu families.
On the one hand, he can avoid or reduce being exploited by the Shadow Alliance.
The Shadow Alliance was, after all, founded by foreigners.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
He would never trust the Shadow Alliance, nor would he have any high expectations of them.
In fact, he estimated that it was highly likely he would face off against the Shadow Alliance in the future.
On the other hand, during this period, through reading newspapers and talking with Zhao Guanghua, Zhang Fubao and others, he gained a considerable understanding of the difficult situation of the Xia people on this continent.
It could be said that their situation was even worse than in the early years of the Republic of China in the world before they transmigrated.
Befriending and helping the local Xia tribe forces would allow him to do more for his people.
He is still weak and can only do his best, with his primary task being to evolve himself.
Once he becomes powerful, he must emulate the Martial Saint Tenglong and protect this land and its people, at least expelling all colonial forces and wiping out all those who commit evil and prey on the people.
With the help of the system and the righteous witch, he believed he could do better than the Dragon Martial Saint, and if given the chance, he would even liberate the people of the East and the West.
Therefore, he not only needs to make rapid progress on the path of evolution, but also needs to establish his own power.
Meanwhile, in the study of the Fu Mansion in Suzhou.
Fu Jian'an put down his pipe, his face full of relief. "Those foreign devils are really too cruel and domineering. They dared to lay a hand on my brother. Fortunately, our ancestors protected him and allowed him to meet Mr. Li."
Fu Jianhua also put down his pipe, saying, "These foreigners are truly ruthless! They insist on seizing our Fu family ancestral hall to build their church. This is intolerable!"
Fu Jianming nodded, his expression grave. "That's right. Foreign churches are a scourge. No matter which one it is, they have committed countless atrocities over the years."
"Now they're getting even more outrageous, daring to set their sights on us."
"They were also testing whether their great-uncle was still alive."
"Foreigners are the most likely to bully the weak and fear the strong, so we must be tough on the Blood God Church this time and not show the slightest weakness."
"The commander-in-chief has agreed to speak on our behalf with the high-ranking officials of the Golden Eagle Federation and the Bilcardia Empire, and the situation should improve soon."
"The Blood God Church was originally just a third-rate Western church, a cult that was not respectable in many Western countries, like a stray dog."
"Their real rise began more than a hundred years ago when they secured a place in the upper echelons of the Golden Eagle Federation."
"The Blood God Church has many enemies both inside and outside the Golden Eagle Federation. As long as we withstand their first one or two rounds of attacks, they will find it difficult to continue."
"That vampire viscount was able to track my movements so accurately, there must be someone on our side or the Qian family who betrayed me."
"The commander-in-chief is already investigating. Jianhua, you must also conduct a thorough investigation first thing tomorrow morning. If necessary, you can use the Mind-Asking Mirror."
"Yes, brother."
"Jianhua, can you figure out anything about Mr. Li's background?"
"No, he gives me the impression of an ordinary Qi cultivator at the peak of the early stage of the Transcendent Realm."
"But he clearly isn't, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to detect the vampire viscount so far in advance, nor would he have been able to hit him with such accuracy."
"It would be impossible to do these things without a perception level above the peak of the Spirit Realm, which shows that Mr. Li's realm is far above mine."
"So it's perfectly normal that he can't see through him."
"But he is too young. He is not the kind of person who can remain young forever because of his extremely high cultivation level. Up close, I can feel the youthful vitality in his body."
"I really can't figure out where he came from."
"Logically speaking, it's almost impossible for such a peerless genius to appear in this world today. On the contrary, it's more likely to be the major Western churches and royal families. Alas..."
Fu Jian'an and Fu Jianming nodded in unison.
After a moment's thought, Fu Jianming asked, "I'm thinking of calling Yuxuan back so she can be in charge of liaising with Mr. Li. What do you think?"
Fu Jian'an and Fu Jianhua exchanged a glance. Then Fu Jianhua picked up his pipe, took a puff, and slowly exhaled a wisp of white smoke. "I think it's okay. I'll make the arrangements tomorrow."
Fu Jian'an readily nodded.

Around 1 a.m., Dong Guanfei walked out of the Golden Eagle Federal Concession Railway Station empty-handed, got into a rickshaw and headed straight for the Shadow Alliance Club.
More than an hour later, he carried a wooden box out of the club and took a rickshaw to the Fister Hotel, which was four or five kilometers away.
Shortly after, he entered a standard guest room on the second floor and then took out a granite block weighing about forty kilograms and blocked the door.
He successfully became a full-fledged employee and received his deposit back. He then purchased sixty portions of Great Spirit Elixir, sixty portions of Great Vitality Elixir, two "Demon Hunter No. 3" rifles, two "Punisher No. 8" rifles, and a full complement of bullets.
He almost used up all of his annual resource purchase privileges as a Silver member, spending a total of about nine gold coins.
There were no questions or difficulties throughout the entire process.
