It was unimaginable to meet such a young triple-field grandmaster.
The Third Elder was stunned into silence for a long time. He didn't know how to continue. The news had shocked even someone of his stature.
"Earl Wang, you really surprised me," he exclaimed after a moment, "A three-field grandmaster, and such a young one at that. You'll become a legend in the future."
A legend was the level above grandmaster.
The weight of a legend was too heavy.
Eternal stage warriors treated legends as equals.
Even a large family like the Mobangs had to tread lightly in their presence.
"Third Elder, Earl Wang can produce seventh-level grandmaster pills. I saw this personally," Clara added in a hurry.
"Oh, seventh grandmaster level!" The expert was even more surprised. "The earl's achievements have already reached such a level."
"I've just reached the sixth grandmaster level," said the young hero modestly.
Both the Third Elder and Clara were astonished. A sixth level expert able to produce seventh-level pills. Such a talent was beyond ordinary.
The young hero had truly exceeded their expectations time and time again.
They had good reasons to suspect he wasn't being humble. He was putting up a front.
However, it was understandable. Wang Teng was using this as leverage.
"Earl Wang, I have to admit that your potential is immense." The senior took a deep breath and remarked, "In that case, I'll remove one, no, two conditions. But, you have to help us three times with your secondary skills, whether it's refining pills or forging weapons."
Wang Teng smiled. "Third Elder, you're really not one to easily take a loss."
"I'm a businessman." The senior smiled back.
"I can promise you that." Wang Teng pondered for a moment and continued, "But, I also have conditions of my own."
"Go ahead." The senior gestured.

I will not agree to things that endanger my life," the former said.
"Of course." The Third Elder nodded. "We're hoping that you thrive. This will be better for us."
"Second, I can help you with my secondary skills three times, but two of those will be limited to the grandmaster level." The hero was direct on this.
The Third Elder laughed. "You're good, Earl Wang. No one has ever been so calculating in my presence."
"I can get in trouble if I don't." The hero smiled.
"All right, I agree to your conditions." The Third Elder nodded.
"I have no other questions. I look forward to our cooperation."
"Looking forward to our cooperation!" said the elder, "I'll have Clara prepare the contract. Once it's signed, the Luck Tear is yours."
"Okay!" Wang Teng nodded.
"Also, future arrangements with Earl Wang will be left to you, Clara," added the senior, complimenting the young woman, "You did good this time."
"Yes!" she quickly replied. There was joy in her eyes.
Receiving praise from the Third Elder meant that her status in the family could rise.
"Do a good job. The family will remember your merits."
After finishing that sentence, the elder's hologram vanished.
"Wait a moment, Earl Wang. I will draw up the contract for you," Clara said as she did her best to hide her excitement.
She became more respectful towards the young overlord. She could tell that her senior held him in extremely high regard.
Moreover, she had just become aware of the hero's three-field grandmaster identity. She would naturally respect him more, or she would be an idiot.
"All right." Wang Teng nodded.
She then turned and walked into the previous door, the same room from where she fetched the Luck Tear.

"Earl Wang, this is the contract. Please have a look." The young manager handed the document over.
Wang Teng opened it and had Round Ball check if there were any loopholes. There was no one else better than his little helper at this.
"Everything seems in order." The hero nodded a few moments later.
"You can just sign your name," Clara said.
Without hesitation, he signed two contracts; one was his, while the other was the Thousand Treasure Chamber's.
Three trillion had to be paid to the other party afterwards.
The Great Qian Empire had just rewarded him with five trillion, and he just lost more than half of it in an instant. It pained him.
"I'm poor again," Wang Teng exclaimed.
Clara was flabbergasted. The earl was filthy rich; to actually hand over three trillion just like that. Ordinary heaven stage warriors would be hard pressed to raise such an amount.
"The Luck Tear is yours!" She pushed a purple box his way and smiled.
The young man took out the stone and examined it for a moment. The intoxicating purple light was reflected in his eyes. It was magical.
"Beautiful indeed," he said.
"Only a talent like you is worthy of such a rare gem." Clara aimed to flatter.
Wang Teng smiled, not trying to deny it. He then placed the stone back into the box and stored it.
He and Lin Chuhan stood up and said to the manager, "We'll be taking our leave now!"
"I'll send you off." She wanted to say something else.
"The sixth-level grandmaster pill you wanted me to make. That's your personal matter, right?" Wang Teng was in a good mood after the deal was made. He smiled when he saw the look on her face.
"Yes." The young woman was surprised and elated. She looked at the hero with glimmering, hopeful eyes.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})He pondered for a moment and said, "Since you helped me obtain the Luck Tear, I can help you refine one. Prepare the materials tomorrow and wait for me at the Secondary Career Alliance."
"Really?!" Clara was overjoyed.
"If you don't believe me, you can just not show up tomorrow." He smiled and walked out with Lin Chuhan.
"I'll be there, I'll definitely be there," the young manager said in a hurry.
She scuttled toward the exit and sent the pair to the door. She then watched them leave and went back to her office.
"Yeah!" She waved her clenched fist in the air, extremely excited as she jumped around.
Wang Teng and Lin Chuhan ended their stroll right then, then went back to the manor with their flying car.
"You're helping Clara make pills?" Lin Chuhan asked in the car.
"Yes. She's a member of the Mobang family, and it doesn't look like she's taken very seriously. We can get her on our side," Wang Teng replied.
Apart from the fact that the young manager helped him get that expensive gem, the main reason he agreed to help her was that she wasn't valued much by her own family.
The Third Elder did say that the family would make note of her efforts, those were just empty words to the hero.
If an undervalued individual was able to get a high position with his help, this could represent an unexpected help in the future.
Anyway, refining a sixth-level grandmaster pill wasn't difficult for him. It was just a bargaining chip for him.
If he wasn't willing to, it would be really difficult for others to get his help.
However, he could easily act if he wanted to.
Lin Chuhan nodded. She didn't say much regarding these things, even if the other party was a beautiful woman.
"If she finds me again, do I need to continue interacting with her?" she asked.
It turned out that her conversation with the manager was just for appearances. Lin Chuhan wasn't daft.
"You can, but don't get too close. Just act as you see fit." Wang Teng smiled, "That woman isn't simple.
"Besides, you have to take charge of the relationship, since you're my fiancée."
She nodded and replied softly, "I understand." She was touched by the gesture.
