Zhao Xing glanced at the Earth Return Array. At this moment, the eight seventh-rank elemental crystals had already dimmed.
"The first phase, a two hundred million upgrade plan, has reached its end."
"The next effects will worsen, but it has allowed me to cover in three months what would take others decades or even centuries."

For instance, Qin Hongying from the Bishui Daoist School had offered him sky-high orders and even the position of vice dean to bind him to her.
"Now begins the implementation of the second plan, valued at four hundred million."
Zhao Xing stepped out of the Guiyuan Array and walked to a specially-made Crystal Pool nearby.
