Chapter 371: Agustus
Chapter 371: Agustus
Red Dragon Planet.
This planet was purchased by the Red Dragon Culinary Group for naming rights and has been operated as their headquarters.
Across the planet, there are natural ingredient cultivation centers, where various precious birds and exotic beasts are bred in the wild.
At the center of the planet, in the top floor of a towering building.
Inside the Chairman's office.
"Grandpa!"
A middle-aged man bowed respectfully to an elderly man with white hair.
In the interstellar federation where gene surgery is prevalent, he still appears so aged, probably having lived for many years, with a not-so-high professional level, and having tried all sorts of external life-prolonging methods.
This elderly man had a tall and imposing stature, exuding authority without anger, resembling a platinum lion: "Xu Moxie, Manager Xu, in a professional setting, address me by my official title!"
"Yes, Chairman!"
Xu Moxie hurriedly lowered his head.
"The response from Blue Star University has arrived. It seems that your cheap son, my cheap great-grandson, doesn't acknowledge me..."
Xu Elder didn't seem to care: "But that's how it is with biomechatronics. Legally, there's no obligation to support the elderly... What a pity, if only he had said a word, the group could have welcomed tremendous development, and that troublesome matter could have been resolved immediately."
"Yes... Regardless of what the company needs me to do, please give your instructions, Chairman."
Xu Moxie bowed deeply.
To outsiders, he might seem like a truly high-ranking and influential elite of the upper class, controlling a cross-star corporation.
But in front of the Chairman, he was still a grandson.
"That's perfect... You should go to the group's bio-lab and perform more sperm donation tasks..."
Xu Elder waved his hand: "That's the only use you have. It's best to offer a high price and buy the eggs of the lady who provided the eggs back then... It's a pity that no matter if it's re-cultivation or cloning, it's unlikely to produce a Tenth Realm combat power again... But even if the hope is slim, we should still give it a try."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Xu Moxie lowered his head, and a hint of humiliation flashed in his eyes.
Back then, he was still young and made a lot of pocket money through the federation's donation tasks.
But now, he's no longer young, and he has over a hundred legal spouses and children. Doing this again doesn't sit well with him...
...
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
"In the golden autumn month of September, it's an honor to meet the diligent students at Blue Star University. I, the principal, wish you all a bright future..."
Fang Xing finished his speech to the crowd of new students below and immediately stepped down from the podium.
"For future events like this, just contact Vice-Principal Nie Ying..."
He casually tossed the speech to Wei Jiali and instructed her.
As the principal of Blue Star University, his power, though not as great as the nine highest governors of the federation, still carries significant influence.
Not to mention that Blue Star University's school-run enterprises are the oligarchic enterprises of the federation.
If you add the influence of the outstanding alumni, it becomes an enormous power!
As the principal of Blue Star, Fang Xing holds considerable authority.
From the approval of experimental funds for various mentors to federal policy consultations, rewards for outstanding students, and even the allocation and distribution of 'Soul Essence Refinement' quotas, as long as Fang Xing wants to get involved, he can do so.
However, he doesn't have much interest in these matters.
The only exception is that he gave rewards and bonuses to the Simplified Buddha Palm research group from back then and promoted Gu Mentor's administrative level.
It was a way to repay his past freeloading.
He also sent people to visit Pan Xiong and help solve his difficulties.
However, after exercising his authority for a while, Fang Xing grew weary.
"Indeed... My true passion is still Martial Dao, pursuing personal strength."
He returned to his villa and resumed his cultivation.
The more he practiced the Great Sun Buddha Palm, the more proficient he became.
But Fang Xing's current focus was still on the Star Palace Scroll!
The process of absorbing the universe's source energy also fascinated him.
"Currently, my understanding of the Fire Law matches that of a Galactic Rank Expert, but it's not very useful."
"The deeper the understanding of the Laws, the better..."
"Furthermore, among the various Laws, there is a hierarchy, and Spatial Law is undoubtedly the supreme Law!"
"Once my Cultivation Avatar reaches the Spirit Transformation Stage and cultivates the Spirit Refinement Lineage's techniques, I should be able to grasp a strand of Void Power and thus enter the realm of Spatial Law!"
"Even... In the future, after mastering Spirit Refinement, I will truly comprehend the Great Dao. Even a mere strand of the Great Dao's power will be enough to make many Lawmaster Realm experts envious..."
Lawmaster Realm experts find it difficult to advance to the Daoist Master Realm and may not even have the chance to thoroughly comprehend the power of the Great Dao.
For Fang Xing, this matter is quite simple.
"Currently, it seems that both the Immortal Path and the Source Energy System have vast prospects..."
"But... Following the ultimate martial arts of Blue Star's Divine Warriors seems even more interesting!"
"Anyway, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work out, I still have other options."
Fang Xing made his decision.
Martial Dao! It had already seeped into his bones and become one with his will, inseparable.
"Master... You have an invitation to a gala."
At this moment, Little Blue's sweet voice sounded.
"The invitation is so important that even my secretary and AI assistant allowed it directly. It seems like a big deal... I have to go and do some diplomatic maneuvering again. Who is it from?"
Fang Xing opened his eyes and casually asked, "The invitation is from the Agustus Family... The Agustus Family is one of the ancient noble families of Blue Star, and they swiftly transformed after the arrival of the interstellar age, producing several great adventurers. One of the nine current governors of the Federation, Uwei Agustus, is from the Agustus Family."
"Governor Uwei? I should pay him a visit... Perfect, I'll have Ms. Nangong Xue accompany me as my date."
Fang Xing spoke to Little Blue.
As for the itinerary, dress code, and private spaceship arrangements, Little Blue would naturally take care of everything.
"I've long heard about the extravagance of parties on Blue Star, and it's a good opportunity to experience it..."
Fang Xing was slightly excited.
...
Several days later.
Blue Star, in an ancient estate nestled by the mountains and water.
The place was filled with singing.
The best singers, sculptors, painters, performers, and various artists from the Federation gathered, each putting on an impressive performance.
Fang Xing was dressed in a formal suit, with Nangong Xue by his side.
Nangong Xue wore an evening gown, revealing her swan-like neck with a low-cut back and chest.
It was clear that she had dressed up meticulously.
However, it was of no use; there were countless women at the party more beautiful than her.
Fang Xing even spotted several of the most popular female stars in the interstellar world, now serving as hostesses at the party.
"Honored guests, please!"
A middle-aged man with wine-red hair greeted them.
His voice was loud and clear, his features as firm as marble, giving off an air of integrity and strength.
"I am Salin Agustus. Is the guest the new chancellor of Blue Star University?"
Salin Agustus was quite talkative.
Fang Xing responded briefly and curiously asked, "Has Governor Uwei arrived?"
Uwei Agustus! He was the pride of countless Agustuses, a 'Supreme Esper' of the Tenth Realm, and one of the most powerful members of the Agustus bloodline.
"I'm sorry... My brother had other important matters and couldn't make it."
Salin Agustus apologized.
"I see..."
Fang Xing immediately lost interest.
At this so-called high-society party, the strong ones could be counted on one hand.
Most of them were only at the Ninth Realm and could be swatted to death by him.
After learning this, Fang Xing immediately lost interest and prepared to leave after going through the motions.
Just then, he paused, his face showing keen interest.
Nangong Xue followed his gaze and saw an oil painting that was almost complete.
On the painting, a ball of flames was burning fiercely! Even more astonishingly, despite it being just an oil painting, one could sense the scorching heat of the flames standing in front of it!
"The Mystery of Fire?!"
Nangong Xue was startled.
As Fang Xing's friend, she had accompanied him for so many years and naturally knew about the 'Mystery of Fire' he had created! Although Fang Xing currently claimed to have a creative drought and that his creation had hit a bottleneck.
But just these few mysteries were enough to drive the Federation crazy, and many scientists had even opened up new research topics, believing they had found a new direction.
"I've studied the mysteries of Congressman Fang Xing's odd artifact... Compared to those artifacts that truly record the rules, this mere oil painting is just scratching the surface..."
A painter wearing a beret walked over, "Your Excellency, I am Vanlin, a painter."
"The so-called most famous oil painting genius in a century?"
Nangong Xue was slightly surprised, "I heard you took a very niche path as a professional..."
"Indeed, I use cosmic odd artifacts to carry the Mystery of Fire... Your painting is just an ordinary oil painting, the difficulty is completely different. It's really not bad..."
Fang Xing nodded, "Are you interested in pursuing a master's degree at Blue Star University? I can introduce you to a good teacher."
"I'm sorry... I graduated with a doctorate from the Nine Swords Academy."
Vanlin shook his head and continued to wave his paintbrush.
On his canvas, the crimson flames seemed to dance like spirits, leaping and pulsating...
"Your Excellency."
Just as Fang Xing and Nangong Xue were appreciating the art, another young man with platinum hair and a tailcoat approached.
He held a glass of champagne and raised it towards Fang Xing, "I don't know if Your Excellency is interested in the shares of the Red Dragon Culinary Group?"
"Hmm?"
Nangong Xue was suddenly startled.
Fang Xing had only received the email a few days ago, and someone already knew about the Red Dragon Culinary Group?
This person's energy and background were undoubtedly top-notch in the Federation.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I'm James! James Agustus."
James smiled, "I had some trade dealings with the Red Dragon Culinary Group before, and then they violated the commercial contract and lost a portion of their shares to me as part of the wager."
"I see, but I'm not interested."
Fang Xing pulled Nangong Xue, "Without Governor Uwei's dinner, there's not much point. We'll take our leave now."
His attitude towards his biological parents in this life was neither close nor hostile.
He wouldn't rush to acknowledge them, but he wouldn't kick them when they were down either.
