Chapter 454: 245: The Sacred Creator!_3
And this is not the limit of lifespan.
The number of Star Marks could continue to increase beyond one hundred.
Upon learning this, Fang Mu couldn’t help but look at Shui Miao with newfound respect.
Fang Mu could discern the intentions in Shu Liangjun’s words and saw that Shui Miao was also quite curious about Qixing’s age.
Qixing was a person Fang Mu fabricated. Everything Fang Mu had achieved so far, he did on his own. Therefore, if you must know Qixing’s age, he’s only sixteen this year.
Obviously, Fang Mu couldn’t tell Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao this!
Fang Mu clearly understood that Qixing’s age directly correlated to outsiders’ perception of his potential.
Fang Mu decided to put his acting skills to use.
“Elder Ah Shui, I had no idea your age bears such a resemblance to my master’s. My master is only a few years older than you!”
“Due to my master’s preference of not revealing much of his private information to others, I’m unable to disclose his exact age!”
It is entirely plausible for Shui Miao to become a Forging Spirit Grandmaster at over two hundred years of age, similarly for his master to become a Creation Master at the same age range.
Fang Mu was unaware that his seemingly reasonable explanation actually astounded Shui Miao, Shu Liangjun, and She Wan, who was trailing behind him.
Indeed, becoming a Creation Master at over two hundred years old isn’t impossible, as exemplified by Shuo Yang, who ascended to the Grandmaster rank at the age of two hundred and forty-three.
However, there is a great disparity between a Junior Creation Master and a Senior Creation Master.
After Shuo Yang ascended to the Grandmaster rank, it took him nearly four decades to become a Senior Creation Master.
Furthermore, it took him another eighty-five years to reach the level of Advanced Creation Master!
Shuo Yang becoming an Advanced Creation Master in his early three hundreds was already considered quite young.
An example of a typical Creation Master is Yi Han, who became a Junior Creation Master in his early three hundreds.
Qixing, Fang Mu’s master, managed to become an Advanced Creation Master at just over two hundred! Where on earth did this prodigy spring from!?
With such accomplishments at such a young age, as long as Qixing can sustain his pace, becoming a Saint Creation Master is just a matter of time!
The potential Qixing now held in the hearts of Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun couldn’t simply be quantified by ‘value.’ He was a treasure anyone could benefit from if they could align with him!
Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao found nothing strange with Fang Mu’s refusal to disclose Qixing’s exact age.
Creation Masters valued their privacy, which was perfectly normal.
Golden Bull thought that if Shui Miao’s age hadn’t happened to be around Qixing’s, Fang Mu probably wouldn’t have insinuated anything about age.
Meanwhile, She Wan found herself free and leisurely by Fang Mu’s side, but Lu Xiaoyin and the four attendants they’d brought from the JA City Mansion were about to wear themselves out!
Fang Mu scheduled the trading session for five in the evening. However, many powers had already arrived with their tickets just past four o’clock for the trade.
Arriving early was deemed respectful to the host.
Lu Xiaoyin, previously the captain of the Creator’s Guild guard, was familiar with being flattered and had seen much of the world.
Yet now, as she greeted the heads or core members of those powerful Lu City families and clans, she was met with respectful bows and incessant compliments!
Lu Xiaoyin knew that the respect she received was entirely due to Fang Mu!
Lu Xiaoyin’s modesty only grew with the flattery, making her even more cautious and vigilant.
She feared overlooking any detail that could bring disgrace to Fang Mu.
Prior to arrival, Lu Xiaoyin had given the four attendants a serious briefing.
All four attendants were fully on alert.
Fortunately, as these attendants previously served under She Wan, they were able to handle the current scene under Lu Xiaoyin’s command.
The attendants’ attire, like Lu Xiaoyin’s, was privately tailored by She Wan.
She Wan had high standards for attendants, particularly in terms of appearance.
The four attendants serving She Wan were all exceptionally attractive, and Lu Xiaoyin, herself, was not bad-looking.
As the five of them moved through the crowd in clothes tailored by a Weaving Grandmaster, they immediately elevated the prestige of the trade event.
As the trendsetters of all Lu City powers, the Lu Du Five Families immediately became the center of attention.
All powers were waiting for the Five Clans to arrive and stage a fierce competition at the trading session.
However, the members of the Five Clans were hesitating. None of them wanted to be the first to arrive.
Being the first to arrive seemed overly eager.
It would undermine their respective family’s influence in Lu City.
She Junjie, notwithstanding the hesitation, led She Ruan and She Jiazhen directly to Fang Mu’s estate.
She Junjie and She Ruan had been to Fang Mu’s estate before when it was undecorated.
Upon their return two days later, they found courtyards adorned with decorations crafted by Grandmaster Craftsmen and potted with rare Peony Class Royal Beasts they’d never seen before.
Each one of these Peony Class Royal Beasts, which could be hailed as auspicious, was the top of the line and hard to buy.
Fang Mu had a total of nine pots of these prestigious Peony Class Royal Beasts in his courtyard.
The Royal Beasts even eclipsed the decorations crafted by Grandmaster Craftsmen, filling the courtyard with their fragrance.
If the courtyard was decorated so elaborately, the interior of the mansion must be even more so!
The indoor area was decorated with more than a dozen impressively presented Peony Class Royal Beasts displayed on flower stands. This kind of decoration using Guardian Beasts was exclusive to high-level Creators.
It was a modest way of flaunting one’s resources and status.
She Junjie, She Ruan, and She Jiazhen were amazed at Fang Mu’s ability to mobilize resources, and it was hard for them to regard him as merely a disciple of a Creation Master. It feels like Fang Mu is a Creation Master himself.
She Jiazhen admired the scene before her with a sigh in her heart.
Is this the energy displayed by the man who made her elder sister willing to become a guard!?
