Wang Teng was paying special attention to sorting the items kept in jade boxes. They had to be extraordinary.

He had his own wooden house in the spatial fragment.

The floral fairies had built him one with exquisite care, particularly because they didn’t want him to show up in their own cabins every time he visited.

Still, no matter how shameless he was, he wouldn’t take advantage of them in this situation.

He felt the fairies were ordering him around because he was too kind.

However, he forgave them since they built a place for him.

He took a seat in the living room of the new house, which was adorned with a plate that read ‘Master’ hanging outside. All the floral fairies were gathered there, too.

“Wow, what a thick concentration of light force!” the fairies exclaimed. They immediately sensed the light-element spiritual herbs laid on the table when they stepped into the room.

Catalpa hurriedly stopped the restless ladies and took the lead to greet their protector.

“Master!”

Wang Teng had to admit it felt amazing to be called master by the group of beautiful and dainty creatures.

He felt good. Catalpa had done a great job; he would reward her as soon as he had the chance.

He waved his hands and said, “All right, get up and take a look at these spiritual items.”

“Yes.” Catalpa nodded.

The fairies smiled and crowded around him. A vague fragrance wafted over and filled up the air.

That was the floral fairies’ natural scent!

Martial warriors had an acute sense of smell. Wang Teng noticed that each of them had a particular aroma.

This is interesting!

“Master, where did you get these light-element items?” Flower Angel asked curiously.

The young man rubbed her head; the hair was very smooth. He put on a smile and replied, “I got it from a light element planet.”

“A light element planet!” all the ladies exclaimed.

Catalpa stared at Wang Teng in amazement. Their master had to be extremely lucky to have found such a place.

“I own that planet now. A special race lives there. I’ll take you there to play some other time,” the young hero said.

“Okay!” Flower Angel’s eyes shimmered. She clapped her hands happily, then asked out of curiosity, “What special race is it?”

“Here, they look like this. They’re furry.” Wang Teng produced a virtual depiction of a Light Velvet native with his spiritual power.

Girls loved furry stuff toys. They couldn’t resist them.

To think he had betrayed the furry race just like that.

“Wow!” As expected, the floral fairies fell in love with the light velvet people.

Even Catalpa was tempted. She wanted to touch it.

Flower Angel couldn’t help but reach out, wanting to hug the furry fellow. However, it was just a hologram; her hands passed through and she stumbled. Luckily, Flower Iris caught her in time.

Wang Teng could only facepalm himself.

He hurriedly dispersed the hologram and changed the topic, “All right, all right. What do you think? Can you grow these plants and flowers here?”

“Oh, let’s see.” The floral fairies couldn’t bear to part with the light velvet creature, but they quickly regained their composure after hearing the question. They examined the things on the table.

“Yes, we can plant them.” Catalpa nodded seriously after some time.

“Good, you didn’t disappoint me. I’ll leave these in your care then,” he said, feeling satisfied.

Those were new additions to his garden.

“However, we need to open a new spiritual field with dense light force inside,” Catalpa added.

“Of course. That’s simple; leave it to me,” Wang Teng replied. He took out some light energy stones; they were great elements for setting up light element arrays.

Then, he opened the jade boxes and looked inside.

The young man’s eyes lit up when he saw the content. “Indeed, they are ten-thousand year old spiritual herbs!”

There were nine of them in total, the same as the number used by the light velvet race in their sacrificial ceremony.

Wang Teng scanned them. Each of them was different, with particular traits and purposes. Dan pills of grandmaster level and above could be made with them.

Their existence was a huge temptation for light-element martial warriors.

“Ten-thousand year old spiritual herbs!” Catalpa’s jaws dropped. Her eyes were wide as saucers.

What planet did our master find? Even these ancient spiritual herbs are found there.

Wang Teng stored the aged herbs. They were too old, so they couldn’t be planted on normal fields; an environment with extremely dense light force would be required. If they weren’t properly planted, they could be damaged and wither. That was why he asked the fairies to plant them.

Those spiritual herbs were unique and rare items. They had to have great care when handling them.

“Come, let me open a spiritual field specially for growing light-element plants and flowers.” Wang Teng got up.

The floral fairies quickly followed.

Even Cao Jiaojiao was alerted. She walked out of her wooden shack and stared at the group. “What are they doing?”

Wang Teng found an empty area in his space fragment and used his spiritual power to carve some runes, releasing many light energy stones in the process.

The light element runes floated silently in the air, circling the human and emitting a white glow.

More runes appeared as time passed, interconnecting to form a large circular array.

“Gather!” Wang Teng shouted.

The array produced an dazzling explosion of light, shining on the ground below.

The ground shook, releasing a strange sound.

Ring!

The light array merged into the ground in the blink of an eye. A dense surge of light force seeped out from the array’s area of influence.

Cao Jiaojiao was astounded. That wasn’t her first time seeing such a process, but it still left her in awe.

Rune grandmaster!

What an incredible fellow.

“Done!”

Wang Teng smiled and floated down from a high altitude. He offered some reminders to the floral fairies and left the space fragment.

He left in a hurry because Round Ball had just sent him a message. Someone was trying to contact him.

The young hero reappeared within the spacecraft’s control room.

“It’s a call from the Great Qian Empire’s military,” the little helper said.

“Put me through.” Wang Teng nodded and sat down.

Round Ball complied. A hologram appeared; it was a martial warrior in military attire. He immediately saluted and said loudly, “Colonel Wang Teng, I’m Major Maxwell from the General Staff Department. Nice to meet you.”

There was a hint of admiration in his voice as he looked at our hero with suppressed excitement.

Wang Teng’s achievements on Defense Planet No. 29 had spread far and wide. Most of the military knew about his exploits; many even regarded him as their idol and goal.

He was young, and also a recipient of the National Military Medal. He was a person worthy of respect.

The military was also using him for promotion purposes.

He was extremely suitable for it, as he was young and outstanding. No one could be a better ambassador for the military.

“Nice to meet you, Major Maxwell!” Wang Teng saluted.

He found the other party’s gaze a little strange. He seems to be quite… excited?!

Does this guy know me?

Is he gay? He’s quite handsome, but I don’t want guys to like me.

“Colonel Wang Teng, it’s a pleasure to be at your service. Many of us have heard about your military achievements,” Maxwell said.

Wang Teng was enlightened. Heaving a sigh of relief, he replied, “This is what us soldiers ought to do. It’s nothing worth mentioning. What do you have for me?”

Maxwell’s respect towards Wang Teng grew even more after witnessing how humble he was. “The reason I contacted you was to find out when you would be arriving on the battle planet. We’re already here, ready to welcome you. This was an order from the higher authorities.

“Being the representative of all the military, we can’t lose out to the other factions.”

Wang Teng was stunned. He didn’t expect this.

Is the military so high profile?

But… he liked it.

The League of Talents was a gathering of talents; no one wanted to lose out. Wang Teng wasn’t planning on doing much, but he wouldn’t reject the military’s helping hand.

He immediately sent his estimated time of arrival to Maxwell.

“All right. Colonel Wang Teng, we will be waiting for you.” Maxwell saluted a second time and his hologram disappeared.
