'Oh well. Getting half of Chu Chengnan's resources makes this trip worthwhile. At the very least, it's far more than some paltry sum.'
He was mentally calculating the reward Chu Chengnan had promised for protecting him during his attempt to attain the Dao.
More than half the fortune of a Great Daoist Master at Foundation Establishment Perfection, one who had accumulated wealth over five lifetimes—the value was absolutely inestimable.
The earnings from Cold Crow Pass were practically nothing in comparison.
This was his greatest tangible reward from the trip.
Plus, he would be able to learn two Secret Techniques when he returned.
'Simply perfect.'
At this thought, Xu Yunfan's gaze turned once more toward the direction where Chu Chengnan had disappeared, and his expression grew more profound.
'A pawn and a discarded piece—the line between them is razor-thin.'
