Cultivation Pet Shop

The two guards crossed their spears in front of Lin Fan and Angela as one of them said, "Identify yourselves! This is the property of the Mu Family, no trespassers allowed!"

Lin Fan was surprised to see that these guards were actually in the Gold Realm. These were people who were qualified to become elders for noble families, yet here they were working as guards.

When one had a higher status, one really did things on a different scale.

Lin Fan took out the letter that Mu Bo Hai had written for him and he said, "I have a letter here from Lord Mu, recommending him to his family."

The guards knit their brows when they heard this and one of them quickly said, "Is the name of Lord Mu someone like you could invoke?" But still they took the letter just in case.

When they opened the letter and the power of the law from the seal it was signed with was released, they immediately knew that this letter was real.

Both the guards looked at each other in blank dismay before they quickly bowed to Lin Fan, "Please, please wait a minute...We will inform the family head now!"

After that, both of the guards ran off into the manor with the letter.

Less than a minute, they came back with an important looking person in a pure green robe.

That important looking person looked to be middle aged with a thick head of green hair and sharp piercing light green eyes. He also had a strange thin mustache that was also green in colour dangling off his lips.

When the man saw Lin Fan and Angela, he quickly came over with a friendly smile as he said, "Owner Lin, it truly is an honour to meet you. Please come in and have a seat."

Lin Fan was taken aback by this, "You know me?"

The man said while laughing, "My father sent word long ago of you and I've been waiting a long time to meet you. I know that you are someone who likes to get straight into business, but the shop that my father asked to prepare for you isn't ready yet, so how about we sit down and talk first?"

Since the other side was being this friendly, Lin Fan had no reason to deny their invitation. Lin Fan might be someone who was quite resolute when it came to killing, but that didn't mean he wasn't someone who slaughtered everyone.

When they arrived inside the manor, Lin Fan could tell that it was the manor of a rich and powerful family.

Just the density of the life energy inside the manor was completely different from anything Lin Fan had seen before.

Most of the manors that nobles and royals built were built on life energy gathering arrays which meant they gathered the surrounding life energy, creating a life energy dense area that was perfect for cultivating. Lin Fan had already felt the life energy gathering array of a royal family when he was at the Feng Family's manor, but that was absolutely nothing when compared to the Mu Family.

It seemed like there were indeed benefits to increasing one's status, but that was just the way of the world. This was a world that worshipped experts since their strength gave the common populace safety.

The middle aged man brought Lin Fan into the living room and had the servants bring all kinds of desserts with tea before finally introducing himself, "Owner Lin, this humble one's name is Mu Dong Hai, I am Lord Mu's son."

Lin Fan wasn't surprised to hear that this man was Mu Bo Hai's son, but he was surprised to hear what his name was. What would the youngest generation be called, Mu Xiao Hai?

Mu Dong Hai continued, "Owner Lin, I've long heard of your fame and your power, you really are someone to admire. If possible I would wish to become brothers with you."

Mu Dong Hai was someone in the Platinum Realm, so he was eligible to become Lin Fan's brother.

With the increase in lifespan from cultivation, it was hard to differentiate generations sometimes.

Those that were in the Platinum Realm could live up to five hundred years, so there were many who looked young who were actually over a hundred years old.

So most experts judged generation either by real age or by cultivation realm. Those that were in the same realm generally called each other brothers regardless of age sometimes.

But of course, this Mu Dong Hai had a motive for making Lin Fan his brother. He was trying to put Mu Bo Hai in a generation higher than Lin Fan to give his father more respect from this young man.

As for Lin Fan, he had no reason to reject this since he did indeed want to get closer to the Mu Family. His branch would be in Green Wood City from now on, so there was nothing to lose from gaining backing from the largest family in this city.

Lin Fan just smiled and said, "It's an honour, Brother Mu!"

Mu Dong Hai just laughed and patted Lin Fan on the back, "Good brother!"

Then he took out a box from his storage ring and said, "This is a gift from me for our first meeting, you can't say no, brother!"

The box opened up to reveal a sword that was completely made of jade and judging from the fluctuations coming from it, it was a Platinum Realm Artifact! This really was an expensive greeting gift!

Lin Fan didn't feel right just taking this gift without giving anything back, so he also took out an oak leaf that seemed to be carved completely out of jade.

This oak leaf was from a Jadeite Oak and any wood attributed pet that ate it would have their life energy cleansed and purified, making them much stronger than any other pets.

The key thing was that the value of the Jadeite Oak Leaf was not any lower than the Platinum Realm Artifact!

Mu Dong Hai was surprised to see this, but of course he wouldn't turn it down since it was an important symbol of their alliance.

After chatting with Lin Fan for a bit, Mu Dong Hai made a suggestion, "Brother Lin, since you are new to our Green Wood City, you must take a trip to see the specialty of our Green Wood City, the Alchemy Tower."

Lin Fan was a bit confused, "Specialty? Alchemy Tower?"

Mu Dong Hai explained, "Since Green Wood City is surrounded by forests, it's quite easy for the people of our city to harvest ingredients. That is why plenty of alchemists have settled here and eventually created the Alchemy Tower. Now it is where most of the pet food and pills on the continent come from."

Lin Fan felt a bit of interest in this, "Ho, maybe I will check it out now since I still have some time."

It was currently the afternoon and Lin Fan didn't have anything to do since he was waiting for the Mu Family to prepare the shop for him.

Mu Dong Hai said with a smile, "Perfect, I'll have someone prepare a beast carriage for you right now. But unfortunately I won't be able to join you since I have another meeting later, but you must come back for dinner later."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Of course Brother Mu, I'll have to impose on your hospitality a bit longer."

Mu Dong Hai waved his hand, "Brother Lin, you're too courteous!"

So Mu Dong Hai arranged the beast carriage which had the mark of the Mu Family on it. This beast carriage wasn't normally seen around the city, so people pointed at it wherever it went.

Finally when it arrived at the Alchemy Tower, there was someone that came out of the Alchemy Tower to welcome them, but they were surprised to see that it wasn't the Mu Family. That person just watched on awkwardly as Lin Fan and Angela walked past them, moving into the Alchemy Tower.

This place was filled with all kinds of medicinal scent, but it was quite lively inside the main hall of the tower.

There were people running all around, browsing all the various shops that filled the hall.

Right opposite to the main entrance, right along the wall on the other side, there was a large reception area.

Beside the reception area, there were two large boards that were covered in various pieces of paper that had crowds of people around them. There were people taking pieces of paper from these boards before heading over to the reception desk. Most of these people went to the middle where they talked to the receptionist there and flashed their badge before leaving.

On the sides of the main receptionist, there were two different desks. One seemed to be for turning in missions and one seemed to be for creating new missions.

As Lin Fan and Angela looked around, they suddenly heard someone calling out, "You scammer!"
