"My power..."

Xiao Mu suddenly stretched out his right index finger, pointing towards a sofa on the left side of Lan Cai's office.

The sofa suddenly vanished out of thin air, as if it had never been there to begin with.

The Five Elements power lingered in its place, and rays of divine light gradually dispersed.

"Five Elements Art!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Lan Cai's face.

She instantly recognized the technique Xiao Mu used as a kind of Five Elements Art.

Xiao Mu used the Five Elements Art to strike the sofa, dissolving it directly into the pure Five Elements power.

"You have cultivated all five elements simultaneously?"

This time, it was Lan Cai's turn to be astonished.

Even among the top geniuses in the Alliance, those who could cultivate all Five Elements simultaneously were rare.

Even those who could, the vast majority of geniuses cultivating all Five Elements produced Power Seeds that were not considered high grade.

The grade of a Power Seed directly determines the difficulty of the mutated beings' advancement in the later stages.

The lower the grade of the seed, the harder it is to progress, requiring tremendous comprehension of the True Realm relics to have a chance of advancing.

High-grade seeds make advancement remarkably effortless, without any obstacles.

After her surprise, Lan Cai shook her head. "Having such lofty aspirations may not necessarily be a good thing. You must know, right? The grade of the Power Seed affects the difficulty of the entire advancement in the Fifth Realm."

"While you have indeed cultivated all five elements simultaneously, raising your power levels, your cultivation speed has hence been dragged down. That may not necessarily be a good thing."

"For me, there is no point in partnering with a mutated being who has no chance of advancing to the next stage."

She clearly did not have a high opinion of Xiao Mu, who practiced the Five Elements simultaneously. Simultaneously refining the Five Elements indicated that the grade of the Power Seed would inevitably decrease.

Low-grade high-level Power Seeds are not necessarily superior to high-grade low-level Power Seeds.

Moreover, cultivating the Power Seed of the Fifth Realm is merely laying the foundation.

The real focus of cultivation is in the True Realm.

Mutated beings in the True Realm can cultivate any other forms of power at any time.

These include the power of the Five Elements, the power of Yin and Yang, the Two Forces of Life and Death, and even the Chaotic Primordial Power.

In Lan Cai's view, the mutated beings are overambitious, neglecting the grade of the seed in pursuit of pure strength - This is the most imprudent thing to do.

If the grade of the seed decreases, the pace of the practice slows down, which means that the possibility of entering the True Realm is also reduced.

In her eyes, that perfectly describes Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu did not say more. Five powers simultaneously emerged and hovered in the air, releasing a brilliant divine light. A large Five Elements True Seed gradually materialized.

The True Seed of Five Elements emitted a rich divine light like five small suns of different colors, splendid and dazzling, blurring Lan Cai's vision.

"This... this... is this a high-grade Power Seed?"

Shock filled Lan Cai's face.

This was definitely a high-grade Power Seed. He had cultivated the Five Elements simultaneously and conjured a high-grade Power Seed at the same time.

This was no ordinary genius, but a genius among geniuses.

"It is Grade Nine."

Xiao Mu calmly corrected her.

He didn't release any sort of Chaotic True Seed, he merely released the Five Elements' force from within the True Seed.

Despite it being merely the force of Five Elements, it was enough to stun Lan Cai.

After all, it wasn't your ordinary Five Elements force, nor was it a force of the third or fifth grade Five Elements power, but a ninth-grade Five Elements force.

Grade Nine, the highest grade among the Power Seeds.

This level of Power Seed was destined to have no restrictions in the cultivation in the Fifth Realm. Whether it was progressing from the early stage to the middle stage, or from the middle stage to the late stage, or even from the late stage to the peak, there would be no obstacles, and it could step over in one stride.

Such is the advantage of a high-grade Power Seed.

On top of that, what Xiao Mu showed was a Five Elements True Seed.

The unity of the Five Elements was several times higher in rank than an ordinary true seed.

"Ni... Ninth Grade!"

Lan Cai had an incredulous expression on her face, her tone changing slightly.

The Five Elements True Seed that Xiao Mu condensed was a top-tier high-grade version. Just by rank alone, it surpassed the Eighth Grade Extreme Fire True Seed that she cultivated.

"Incredible!"

It was a long while before Lan Cai fully regained her senses. The look in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Mu was filled with envy and admiration.

Being able to condense a Grade Nine True Seed, even if it were a common one from one of the Five Elements, would still mark a person as an absolute genius, let alone a true seed formed after gathering all Five Elements.

"What do you say, Captain Lan? Am I qualified enough to cooperate with you?"

Xiao Mu indifferently inquired.

"The Five Elements True Seed of the Ninth Grade is worth anybody's investment. Just coveting this True Seed itself makes me believe that you have the ability to borrow Magic Treasures."

Lan Cai sighed, "Jiang Mu calculating against you is really unwise. He surely doesn't know that you are cultivating the Ninth Grade Five Elements True Seed."

From Lan Cai's perspective, if Jiang Mu knew that Xiao Mu was cultivating a Ninth Grade Five Elements True Seed, he would never have thought of scheming against Xiao Mu.

After all, such a genius would absolutely step into the True Realm hundred percent sure and quickly at that, all it needs is vast resources, the entire process would not be hindered in any way.

Being an enemy to such a person is a very unwise thing to do unless you could kill them with one blow, giving them no chance to grow and mature.

"What would you like me to do for you?"

After a while, Lan Cai asked again.

Xiao Mu calmly took a seat across Lan Cai. Now that he showed a measure of his natural talent, he was qualified to negotiate with Lan Cai as equals.

Calmly he said, "I need Captain Lan's help in three matters."

"Firstly, I hope that when Jiang Mu maliciously targets me and frames me, Captain Lan will stand up and speak up for me."

As a captain and who is currently in the ancient Song relics, Jiang Mu absolutely won't make a move directly against Xiao Mu to leave evidence at his disposal.

At the same time, exactly because Jiang Mu is the team captain and as such Xiao Mu's immediate superior, he would definitely think up all sorts of ways to frame Xiao Mu by using the alliance's rules openly and honorably to get rid of Xiao Mu. For Xiao Mu, this will be the most difficult thing to guard against.

Lan Cai nodded, "This is very easy, what else?"

Xiao Mu said, "Secondly, I wish to borrow three opportunities from Captain Lan. Afterwards, no matter if Captain Lan wants Energy Fruits or borrowing opportunities, I will return them as agreed."

"Three borrowing opportunities?"

Lan Cai only needed to ponder for a short while before agreeing, "Merely three borrowing opportunities, I agree. Anything else?"

"Also, I need the Basic Power Scriptures of the Yin Yang Force, but I do not currently know where I should obtain this. I would like to ask Captain Lan to guide me. Of course, if Captain Lan has the Yin Yang Force and is willing to transfer it, that would be even better."

Xiao Mu casually stated his last requirement.

"Yin Yang Force?"

Lan Cai looked puzzled, wondering, "What do you want the Yin Yang Force for? That's the Basic Scriptures needed for mutated beings practicing the Yin Yang Force."

She clearly couldn't comprehend that Xiao Mu was not only cultivating the Five Elements Force but further the Yin Yang Force and equally a Grade Nine True Seed.

If she knew that Xiao Mu was also cultivating the Power of Life and Death, she could not begin to fathom her shock.

The Power of Life and Death is the strongest Power Seed just below the high-quality Power Seeds.

High-Quality Power Seed, can not be acquired in the Mortal Realm world unless the world continues to mutate and becomes the True Realm.

Xiao Mu just smiled and didn't respond to Lan Cai's query.

"Alright, I won't ask anymore about this issue. You must have your reasons for wanting the Yin Yang Force."

Seeing that Xiao Mu didn't want to say more, Lan Cai did not continue to probe further.

"For the Yin Yang Force Scriptures, you can go to the Ghost City on the west side of the ancient ruins. However, Ghost City is a private trading place and will not casually accept outsiders with no influence."

"This way, I'll give you a token. You go find Old Cangtou, he will tell you what to do next."

While saying this, Lan Cai swiftly brought out a token. It was a Mutated Black Iron Piece, special in material, covered with patterns and extremely refined, truly a decent Magical Implement.

Following that, she gave Xiao Mu the address of Old Cangtou and details about him.
