I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Ma En followed Tang Xueluan into the spacious and luxuriously decorated living room. A middle-aged man, who looked seven or eight years younger than Shu Shengyuan, was already sitting in the main seat waiting for them. He was Tang Xueluan's father, Shu Yunpeng.

After seeing them enter, he first looked at Ma En and expressed goodwill with a slight glance. Then, he subtly glanced at his daughter standing behind him, pausing on her for a moment.

Although he didn't reveal any expression, Ma En felt that he was checking if his daughter was alright, which made Ma En's impression of him much better than that old geezer from before.

After Tang Xueluan and he were both seated, Shu Yunpeng looked at him again with a calm expression.

"Ma En," he said. "Xiao Luan has already told me about your proposal. If I understand correctly, your master wants to establish a special organization here."

Ma En nodded:

"That's right. He wants you to help him establish a sect here and experiment with some of his ideas on the ordinary people here. Moreover, this sect must be completely independent of your control."

Shu Yunpeng showed a slightly embarrassed expression, then frowned slightly and said:

"You should know that this is a very harsh condition. The Federation is almost impossible to accept such a request, allowing a Rank 5 ability user with a questionable background to establish his own power here."

"Not to mention helping him establish a power, it would be difficult even to get the Federation to allow him."

Ma En also nodded slightly in agreement:

"I am well aware of this. If I had a choice, I definitely wouldn't be doing this for Xiaoyao. I don't have any good feelings towards Xiaoyao himself, so I came to you for cooperation."

What he said was actually expressing his intention to secretly join hands with the Shu family. Their cooperative relationship could be closer and more trustworthy than his relationship with Xiaoyao.

"I understand your difficulties," Shu Yunpeng said, "but this matter may be much more difficult than you initially imagined. Although our Shu family is not a small force in the Federation, this is not something that we can solve by spending some time negotiating."

Although Ma En's remarks surprised Tang Xueluan at the time, Shu Yunpeng didn't seem to decide to start a deep cooperation with him because of this, and expressed strong concerns about this matter.

Sitting next to them, Tang Xueluan actually knew that her father didn't really want to reject the cooperation with Ma En. After discussion, the Shu family had basically decided on this matter. Unless there were any accidents, they would definitely agree to join hands with Ma En, who was in danger, to squeeze benefits from the Federation and Xiaoyao.

But precisely because they knew that Ma En's situation was not so good, the Shu family also wanted to take the opportunity to negotiate conditions that were more favorable to the Shu family before the official cooperation, after all, he now seemed to be able to only cooperate with them.

They wanted to gain the leading and controlling power of this cooperation.

Ma En also noticed this:

"I know this matter is not simple, that's why I came to you, but you don't have to worry. Xiaoyao is also very clear about what the Federation wants to get from him. After this sect is established, Xiaoyao will also select a few truly talented humans in this world to teach the techniques from the cultivation world."

"And he is willing to give the Federation some special places, so that your members can learn his techniques, and these special disciples from the Federation do not need to bear any responsibility, and can bring them back to the Federation at any time after learning them."

"He also guarantees that he will not use any encryption methods to prevent you from exploring the technology and techniques of the cultivation world."

"How about it?"

Hearing this promise, Shu Yunpeng was actually quite surprised, but he didn't show any joy on his face, but frowned slightly and asked Ma En:

"Will he teach the members of the Federation about longevity technology?"

Ma En said:

"Cultivation itself is the best longevity technology, but I think what you are talking about should be a simpler one. Then I can tell you that he will indeed teach various techniques including alchemy in the sect, and I think he is likely to give other longevity technologies."

Shu Yunpeng raised his eyebrows slightly:

"What you think can't convince the Federation."

Ma En paused and said:

"He will indeed give some longevity technology that doesn't require effort."

Shu Yunpeng asked:

"What is the specific level?"

Ma En said:

"Initially, he will give the methods of making pills that can only extend life for a few years, but as long as the sect is established, other more profound technologies will definitely be taught, and your people will definitely have the opportunity to learn them."

Shu Yunpeng knew that Ma En would not give him a particularly affirmative answer, so he slightly adjusted his sitting posture and looked at Ma En with a very sincere expression:

"The conditions you gave are still very harsh for the Federation, but in fact, if we work hard enough, it is not impossible to win this condition for you, the problem is that for the Shu family..."

"It's not worth it."

He looked at Ma En with a sincere look, which also contained quite complicated meanings.

Ma En showed an "I understand" expression, and then asked:

"So what do you want?"

Shu Yunpeng casually took out a document and handed it to Ma En:

"We want to get the most basic guarantee in our cooperation with you. I know you want to get rid of Xiaoyao's control, and some members of the Shu family think that this will cause you to become unstable, and may end this entire cooperation that is beneficial to us before we want to, so we want to sign a contract in advance."

Ma En glanced at the so-called contract seemingly casually. There were no really unacceptable clauses on it, but it secretly cut off his retreat in many details.

Even though Ma En didn't actually need these retreats, he still showed a rejecting expression:

"No, I can't accept your conditions."

Shu Yunpeng said calmly and surely:

"This was not proposed by me, but was discussed collectively by the Shu family. If you don't sign it, we won't be able to get our money back in this cooperation. We are not asking for an exorbitant price."

"We just don't want to lose money."

Ma En looked into his eyes and said:

"Maybe you can listen to my conditions."

Shu Yunpeng nodded and said:

"Of course."

But his expression seemed to not care what Ma En was about to say at all.

Ma En uttered a few very weighty words:

"Three longevity pills."

Shu Yunpeng was stunned:

"What?"

Ma En repeated:

"Three longevity pills, that's what you can get after cooperating with me."

"How about it?"

The value of these three longevity pills is indeed enough to shake any family and power. Don't look at the fact that the Federation has already obtained ten longevity pills through Xiaoyao, but those are all to be used in research, and no one can secretly obtain them.

If anyone wants to steal the longevity pill that belongs to the Federation, then he will be crushed and swallowed by the "Federation" first.

However, unlike what Ma En imagined, Shu Yunpeng did not show surprise after hearing this condition, but his expression became a little worse, and then he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

But for some reason, he paused strangely, and then remained silent for a few seconds as if he had swallowed what he wanted to say, and then reluctantly replied:

"Deal."
