Chapter 801: Killing Zhongtian Tie
“Zhongtian Tie, you were looking for me?” a bantering sneer came from behind.
Zhongtian’s face turned ghastly. He immediately turned to look, and was surprised to see Qingfeng Li standing behind him with a disdainful look.
“You, you, you…how did you manage to move?” Zhongtian’s expression froze and he barely managed to stutter the words out.
Physical movement was impossible under the restrictions of the grandmaster territory. Every martial warrior knows that, but how did Qingfeng’s body move?
“I’ve told you, I will cut off your head.” Qingfeng smiled coldly, but with the intention to kill in his eyes.
With a flip of Qingfeng’s wrists, the red fiery sword whipped out, as if a streak of red lightning tore through the wind, and striking down in front of Zhongtian.
Slash!
Before Zhongtian had a chance to respond, he was killed by the soaring slash of Qingfeng’s sword, with confusion and terror in his eyes before death.
With his body laying down on the ground, fresh blood flowed throughout. Even in death he couldn’t understand how Qingfeng managed to move under the constraints of the gravitational field. Unfortunately, Qingfeng would never explain this to him.
The sect master of the Iron Fist sect, the fortieth most powerful warrior on the Grandmaster List—- dead.
Zhongtian’s death has created great turbulence, all fighting stopped in the surrounding areas, and the witnesses were filled with regret.
The Gu clan leader was fighting with Elder Qin when everything ceased, the fight between Tang clan leader and Yishan Luo also stopped, the two of them looked at Qingfeng in utter shock.
Zhongtian was very powerful, of the intermediate grandmaster realm. Although his capabilities aren’t as high as Zhengtian Gu, he was highly aware of the Gravity Realm. Once trapped inside, death is inevitable.
Now, despite Zhongtian’s control over the Gravity Realm, he was killed with one slash of Qingfeng’s sword. Everyone was left in total disbelief.
Qiandao Jiang couldn’t have been more surprised; he just defeated Qingfeng with Zhongtian’s aid moments ago. Naturally, he knew of the great power the Gravity Realm had, even if he were to fight Zhongtian, only defeating him was possible, whereas killing him wasn’t.
Qiandao knew that if Qingfeng could kill Zhongtian, he could easily kill him as well, with that realization, his face turned pale.
After Qingfeng killed Zhongtian, he didn’t hunt down Qiandao Jiang, instead, he stood beside Zhongtian’s corpse, fumbled around in search of something. Shortly after, he took out a black book, and inside it was recorded the “Reflections on the Gravity Realm”.
Every master level warrior had their own unique field of knowledge, Zhongtian focused his training on the Gravity Realm, and the “reflections on Gravity Realm” were his discoveries on power and gravity.
Although Qingfeng trained in the fire attribute and specialized in the Inferno Realm, he is vastly interested in Gravity Realm. If he learned the powers of the Gravity Realm, then it would be perfect.
Qingfeng tightly packed in the “reflections on Gravity Realm”, and then turned around to stare at Qiandao with eyes that glittered coldly.
Qiandao was just trying to hunt Qingfeng down; he even lent his long sword to Zhongtian. Qingfeng always held grudges, how could he forget.
“Qingfeng, what do you think you’re doing?” Qiandao coldly questioned.
“Do what? Kill you of course.” Qingfeng smiled coldly, with a flush of murderous rage that cut to the bone.
Qiandao’s face completely changed, he immediately turned to escape, the thought of Zhongtian being killed by only one slash of Qingfeng’s sword terrified him. He may be more powerful than Zhongtian, but only by a bit, admittedly not Qingfeng’s opponent.
The people around were left speechless; Qiandao is from one of the fourth biggest ancient martial arts family clan in Tianjing city, one of the eighty-one orthordox grandmaster, and a well-known warrior! How can someone like him just turn around and flee like so?
Everyone saw that when these ancient martial arts clan leaders rushed forward, they were all after to kill Qingfeng, but now, Qiandao is the one left running.
Woosh!
With the move of Qingfeng’s body, the powerful step of the sole of his feet, he directly shattered the ground beneath him, and jumped in the air. Like an eagle stretching its wings, he swooped down from the sky, instantly landed in front of Qiandao, and blocked his escape route.
Qiandao was stunned, and shouted angrily, “Qingfeng, I am the clan leader of the Jiang family, are you sure you want to kill me?”
“I’ve killed even the Iron Fist clan leader, nothing can stop me from killing you.”
“I must inform you, if you kill me, the Jiang clan’s Patriarch will avenge me. The Jiang clan became one of the fourth biggest ancient martial arts family not only because of me, but because of our patriarch as well.”
“I can’t be swayed with a threat. After I kill you, even if your grand patriarch appears, I’ll kill him too.” Qingfeng coldly smiled and spoke nonchalantly.
Qingfeng was aware that there were great powers hidden in the four biggest ancient martial art clans of Tianjing city, but he wasn’t afraid. If the opponent had hidden powers, so did he, he hasn’t used all the strength in his bloodline.
A bloodline power was particularly special, some are able to awaken it, and others can’t. Although Zhongtian and Qiandao are powerful on the grandmasters’ level, they weren’t able to awaken their bloodline.
The rumours have said the old Jiang clan patriarch had awoken bloodline strength, but no one knows which bloodline.
Clang!
Just as Qingfeng pulled out his long sword, about to strike down at Qiandao, suddenly Xianzhi Qin shouted, “Wait Wolf King.”
“Miss Qin, why won’t you let me kill Qiandao?”
“Wolf King, Qiandao has told you the truth, the Jiang clan patriarch has supreme power, and killing Qiandao will barely do you any good. You can easily acquire some medicinal herbs for alchemy from him by threatening his life.”
“Not bad Miss Qin, good idea.” Qingfeng nodded, with hints of admiration in his eyes.
He knew that Xianzhi was quite right. Killing Qiandao is easy, but the trouble comes afterwards. It would be much wiser to trade his life for some precious herbs needed for alchemy.
As one of Tianjing city’s four biggest families, the Jiang family’s vault must be filled with medicinal herbs. If he acquired these herbs, then his alchemy experiments would be a breeze.
“Qiandao, I can let you go, but only in exchange for a kilogram of the most premium herbs” Qingfeng smiled coldly.
A kilogram of premium herbs?
Qiandao breezed in a breath of cold air after hearing this proposal. Premium herbs were not common herbs and must be scavenged from the wild after they have grown for over a hundred years. These herbs were extremely precious and though the Jiang clan may be a relatively big family, even their vaults only contain around three kilograms of these premium herbs.
Qingfeng wouldn’t be swayed easily; he wanted half of Jiang clan’s premium herbs, their hard-earned wealth of over hundreds of years, so of course, Qiandao refused.
“You’re delusional Qingfeng, I will never give you one kilogram of our premium herbs.” Qiandao smiled coldly as he refused directly.
Chapter 802: One Kilogram of Herbs Acquired
“Qiandao, if you don’t give me one kilogram of premium herbs, I will have to kill you.” Qingfeng smiled coldly, with murderous wrath in his eyes.
Swoosh!
Qingfeng swiftly moved in front of Qiandao, and immediately pulled out the Red Fiery Sword in his hands. A streak of crimson lightning had struck down in front of Qiandao, only to stop at his neck.
With only a slight stab forward of the Red Fiery Sword tip, it would pierce through Qiandao’s throat, and end his life.
Qiandao was terrified with the sword tip at his throat, and its icy intention to kill. Qingfeng was unbelievably fast; there wasn’t any time for him to react at all.
At this point, everyone else around could tell that Qingfeng had immense power, much more so than Qiandao.
In fact, it wouldn’t be fair to say power, but rather it should be combat strength, which Qingfeng had overpowered them all with.
Slash!
Qingfeng slightly waved his sword, and directly punctured the skin on Qiandao’s neck as his blood bursted out.
“I’ll give you three seconds to choose between one kilogram of premium herbs or your head.” Qingfeng looked at him and persisted coldly.
One second, two seconds…
Just as it hit three seconds, Qiandao grew pale and immediately said, “I will give you one kilogram of premium herbs.”
For Qiandao, the premium herbs may be precious, but it can always be re-retrieved again, but he has only one life, if he loses that then all would be doomed.
“Let me go back, Qingfeng, I’ll get those one kilogram of premium herbs for you.”
“No, I can’t let you return, what if you ran off without giving me the herbs?”
“Qingfeng, if you don’t let me return, how will I ever get our ancestral herbs?”
“It’s quite easy, call your son Baidao Jiang. He is the young master of your Jiang clan, so tell him to bring those premium herbs over.” Qingfeng said nonchalantly.
Qingfeng wasn’t an idiot, there was no way he would let Qiandao back into the clan. If this guy doesn’t keep his side of the bargain and doesn’t return, then all this would futile.
The Jiang clan became one of the four biggest ancient martial arts family of Tianjing city not only because of Qiandao, but also because of the several other Jiang patriarchs and masters. There was no way Qingfeng would be dumb enough to barge into the Jiang clan by himself.
Qiandao was furious, but there was no other option, he had to call his son Baidao to bring one hundred baht of premium herbs to Sky Mountain Mansion.
The Gu clan leader, Zhengtian Gu, along with the Tang clan leader, Jianghe Tang, and the rest of the people around were all shocked by this. Qiandao, is an ancient martial arts clan leader like themselves, was now threatened by Qingfeng, and this infuriated them.
Unfortunately, Master Qin of Dragon Palace stopped Zhengtian Gu, and Luo clan leader Yishan Luo has stopped Jianghe Tang, because they’re not Qingfeng’s opponents.
When Baidao found out that his father’s life is in the hands of Qingfeng, he immediately took care of everything. He retrieved the one hundred baht of premium herbs and delivered them on a helicopter.
When Baidao arrived at Sky Mountain villa with one hundred baht of premium herbs, he felt ill at the sight of Qingfeng’s sword resting on his father’s shoulder.
“Qingfeng, you asshole, release my father!” Baidao said angrily.
“Open your mouth, pest.” Qingfeng kicked the ground with his right foot, and launched a tree branch that had fallen during the fighting into the air. Like a streak of lightning, it struck Baidao on his face.
Bang~
Baidao cried out in pain as the branch struck his face, and instantly bruised the area.
“Such speed.” At this very moment, Baidao turned to look at Qingfeng with great fear.
Qingfeng is far too powerful, he launched a seemingly random tree branch at such great speed, Baidao was obviously not worthy to be his opponent.
Baidao filled with regret, he regretted not killing Qingfeng earlier. It was only a while ago that Qingfeng was only an unimportant martial warrior at the Luo clan’s ancient martial arts auction. Now he has become a recognized force in the grandmaster realm.
More importantly, Qingfeng is too powerful even in the grandmaster realm; even a distinguished eighty-one orthordox grandmaster like his father has been defeated.
“Hand me the herbs, if you speak one more word, I’ll have to kill you.” Qingfeng coldly looked at Baidao, and spoke with icy disdain.
Baidao was humiliated, looked down by a youth who he has disregarded in the past, he felt aggrieved, but there was no other way, Qingfeng was far more powerful than him.
Baidao set the one kilogram of precious herbs in front of Qingfeng, with his head down and expression gloomy.
“A hundred year old purple leafed flower, two hundred year old skullcap fruit, and three hundred year old ginseng…” Qingfeng’s eyes lit up at the sight of these premium herbs.
One of Tianjing city’s four biggest ancient martial art clans truly lived up to its name, just in its abundance of premium herbs, it would take Qingfeng ages to find alone.
Qingfeng couldn’t thank Xianzhi enough, he knew that if Xianzhi hadn’t stopped him, he definitely would have killed Qiandao, and then there would be no way to acquire this amount of premium herbs.
For Qingfeng, these premium herbs were worth so much more than Qiandao’s life.
Qingfeng was in the intermediate stage of the grandmaster realm, with mass strength, he could kill Qiandao anytime, but these premium herbs were hard to find.
“You two may go now, you’re more than welcome to come after my life.” Qingfeng smiled and released his sword from Qiandao’s neck.
Qingfeng told the truth, he truly wished these big clans would come after him. He had already thought this through. If a clan leader from these big families came after him, he would not kill these leaders, but rather he would threaten their life in exchange for herbs and wealth, or even for martial art techniques. This way he would maximize his benefits.
Qiandao and his son left without a word. Although their faces looked ill, their hearts were filled with murderous anger, well hidden underneath.
They both knew that they could not defeat Qingfeng, this youth had become supremely powerful even in the grandmaster realm. Perhaps only the old Jiang clan patriarch could possibly defeat him.
“Chief Gu and Chief Tang, are you still intending on killing me?” Qingfeng looked at Zhengtian Gu and Jianghe Tang and said mockingly.
Qingfeng had actually wanted these two to continue trying, but it was clear that these two masters had grown hesitant. With Elder Tang and Clan chief Luo’s obstruction, they couldn’t possibly manage to kill Qingfeng.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself Qingfeng. There will be a day when I personally behead you to avenge my son Jianlong Gu.” Zhengtian smiled coldly and went off on his way.
Jianghe Tang closely followed behind Zhengtian, and both left Sky Mountain mansion.
Chapter 803: Helping Yishan Luo
Qingfeng didn’t stop Zhengtian Gu and Jianghe Tang from leaving, because Zhengtian held great power. Even if Qingfeng were to kill him it would be at a great cost, something Qingfeng didn’t find necessary at the moment.
Qingfeng had the “Alchemy Arts of the Elixir King” in his possession, and he knew that as long as he became accomplished in alchemy, and established relevant connections, say in the Dragon Palace, then it would shock the four big martial families of Tianjin city. Then he wouldn’t need to do any of the dirty work himself.
“Thank you for your help Miss Qin, this is the life-prolonging pill. It can prolong your father’s life for another month.” Qingfeng smiled and handed a silver-white elixir to Xianzhi.
It really was the life-prolonging pill, Xianzhi looked at the elixir in her hand that glowed with life itself, her attractive face overwhelmed with gratefulness.
Although Xianzhi knew that Qingfeng had acquired the “Alchemy Arts of the Elixir King”, she was aware that he had only studied alchemy theories, and not the practice of alchemy itself yet.
Xianzhi gifted Qingfeng with an alchemy furnace, along with an abundance of herbs, but even then Xianzhi didn’t put too much hope on him. She knew that the Life-Prolonging pill was a premium elixir, extremely difficult to craft, but it had surprised her that Qingfeng had created it.
Genius! He must be… Xianzhi sighed to herself, she then knew that Qingfeng was not only a martial arts genius, but an alchemy genius as well.
“Chief Luo, thank you for your help, I will make you a premium grandmaster pill.” Qingfeng said to Yishan Luo.
Yishan and Nishang Luo had brought him to the ancient martial arts fair, and they’ve helped him to acquire the ancient elixir furnace. In addition, they’ve just helped him deal with Jianghe Tang the Tang clan leader, Qingfeng had to thank them for all this support.
Yishan’s face lit up after he heard Qingfeng, he was in his intermediate stage of the grandmaster realm, and if he can acquire the premium elixir, then he would reach the late-stage in the grandmaster realm. This is what he had dreamed of.
Yishan wanted to provide Qingfeng with herbs, but Qingfeng waved his hands in refusal. There was no need for Yishan’s herbs since he had just acquired one kilogram of premium herbs from Qiandao Jiang, just perfect for creating premium elixirs.
Qingfeng brought these herbs into a room in Sky Mountain mansion, the elixir furnace was inside without any more Fo Tan stones. Qingfeng asked Xianzhi to find some more Fo Tan stones and set off to create premium elixirs.
Because Qingfeng already knew the ways to create elixirs, the process was very fast.
He first filled the elixir furnace with the hundred-year-old purple leafed flower, the two hundred year old skullcap fruit, and the three hundred year old ginseng along with a few other premium herbs. Then he lit the Fo Tan stones underneath the furnace, and precisely followed the instructions for making premium grandmaster pill from the elixir king.
Admittedly, the process to make grandmaster pill is extremely difficult, as difficult as the life-prolonging pill process.
Qingfeng failed the first time, which had disappointed him.
Qingfeng wrongly believed that as long as he knew the process of the Life-Prolonging pill, creating the grandmaster pill would be fairly easy.
Although both the Life-Prolonging pill and the grandmaster pill are premium elixirs, the creation process is completely different. The proportions of the herbs, control of the flame, and length of the time are all strictly enforced.
Qingfeng failed his first attempt, wasting away a hundred grams of premium herbs, which tormented him a bit. These herbs were invaluable, a single gram would sell for several millions, or even tens of millions. Some herbs, one couldn’t even purchase with money.
Qingfeng continued even after the initial failure, but at his second failure the disappointment pierced his heart.
He had wasted four hundred grams of herbs after four failures, but at the fifth attempt Qingfeng had successfully brewed a premium grandmaster pill.
It was an emerald pill, only the size of a finger; green light glistened on the surface, but underneath was mass vital essence.
Qingfeng only breathed in a single breathe but it was felt like taking a deep breath of vital essence, and significantly relaxed him.
“There are still five hundred grams of herbs left, I will brew some Lower Heaven elixirs and some Higher Heaven elixirs to help out the Wolf Fang clan and King Kong.” Qingfeng smiled lightly and continued to make elixirs.
Afterwards he had succeeded in every process, because Lower Heaven and Higher Heaven elixirs were much easier to make, as long as he was attentive, he was bound to succeed in a single attempt.
In the end, Qingfeng had created five Lower Heaven elixirs and five Higher Heaven elixirs, and used up all of the one kilogram of premium herbs.
Certainly, the more premium the herbs used in the making, the better the effects of the elixirs, because Qingfeng had used the most premium herbs to create these Higher Heaven pills, it is much more powerful and effective than any average Higher Heaven pill.
Qingfeng stored the Lower Heaven and Higher Heaven pill closely on him along the premium grandmaster pill, and went out.
Three hours had passed, and Yishan and Nishang Luo were waiting for him in the hall outside.
Yishan’s eyes lit up as he saw Qingfeng coming out, he was filled with desire, anticipation along with hints of unrest. He had hoped that Qingfeng was successful, and feared that he had failed.
“Clan leader Luo, here is the premium grandmaster pill, for you.” Qingfeng smiled lightly and handed the emerald elixir to Yishan.
Yishan shockingly looked at the great vital essence the elixir in his hand breathed out.
“Qingfeng you’re an alchemy genius, I can’t believe it’s successful.” Yishan Luo said with admiration.
As the clan leader of the Luo family, Yishan had met countless geniuses, but he never admired any one of them, not even the sword grandmaster Geyi Zhao.
However Yishan truly admired Qingfeng, he was not only powerful, but he was also gifted in alchemy, and was able to have created such a premium elixir.
“Chief Luo stop your admiration, do try the premium elixir.”Qingfeng smiled, he wanted to see the effects of the elixir he had created.
Yishan nodded and popped the emerald pill into his mouth; it melted instantly, and formed a massive force of vitality that rushed into every corner of his veins and bones. It eradicated the toxicants, hardened the bones and increased vitality.
Boom!
The chains inside Yishan’s body imploded, he directly went from intermediate stage to late-stage of the grandmaster realm.
With only a single thrust of his fist, Yishan had split the grand tree in front of him and broke it into shreds.
“Wolf King, thank you for your elixir, I’ve finally reached the late-stage in the grandmaster realm.” Yishan faced Qingfeng with great gratitude.
Yishan had always been oppressed by the senior elder Diao Luo, even to the point that threatened his clan leadership, now that he has passed into the late-stage of grandmasters, he is now just as powerful as senior elder Diao Luo, and there was no need to be afraid anymore.
Yishan clearly knew that this is entirely due to Qingfeng’s pill, so he had to show his gratitude.
Chapter 804: Xue Lin Wants to Go to Work
Qingfeng left Sky Mountain mansion and drove towards Eastern Sea city.
The alchemy furnace however, was far too tall for Qingfeng’s car. He had asked Xianzhi to help him transport it to Eastern Sea city, and he would go back first himself.
Qingfeng missed Xue Lin dearly all this while he has been away.
At the same time, the news that Qingfeng had killed Zhongtian and threatened Qiandao at Sky Mountain mansion had spread out, it shocked the Huaxia martial world, everyone were in utter disbelief.
“Who is this Qingfeng Li, how can he possibly be powerful enough to kill Zhongtian.”
“I heard Qingfeng is the son of third master Li, the very same conqueror who swept across the eighteen northern provinces.”
“F*ck, no wonder he’s so powerful. The conqueror’s power destroyed the pride of the martial world, now his son is starting again.”
Those in the martial world was immersed in gossip, everyone was discussing who Qingfeng is and how powerful he is. After all, Zhongtian Tie was no average person, he was the fourth most powerful man on the grandmaster list, and was killed.
In the martial world, some has even compared the sword grandmaster Geyi Zhao with Qingfeng, and who truly is the number one genius.
Both Qingfeng and Geyi used swords, and are sword grandmasters, this intrigued numerous individuals, and some even stirred the public to get these two sword grandmasters to battle.
要知道,赵歌翌现在可是宗师榜前十名的强者,非常厉害,那些暗中释放消息的人都是居心叵测.
Geyi Zhao is amongst the top ten most powerful people on the grandmaster list, extremely skilled, those who have secretly told others of the possible battle only had the worst intentions.
Qingfeng wasn’t aware of these turbulences in the martial world, even if he did, he wouldn’t have mind it.
Nowadays in the martial world, Qingfeng is undeniably the most recognizable character, far suppressing numerous other powerful characters.
Qingfeng drove very fast, in just two hours he had returned to Eastern Sea city from Tianjing city. He didn’t return to the mansion, or the company, but rather straight to ES city hospital.
Inside the hospital, Xue has greatly recovered, after all these treatments, she was able to walk around, eat and sleep with ease.
Xue thought it was time for her to leave, she didn’t want to stay in the hospital, instead she wanted to return to work.
Xue sighed at the thought of Ice Snow Corporation, because she has been away for quite a while, with no clue how the company is managing.
Although Xue could easily reach the company secretary, director Wanqiu Xia and the others easily, but not going to the company stressed her out. She was too mentally invested in the company.
“Mother, I want to visit the company.” Xue lifted her red lips gently and said to Xiaoyun Mu beside her.
Xiaoyun Mu appeared displeased and said, “Little Xue, Qingfeng had been away, we should wait until he gets back.”
“No, I can’t put my mind off of the company.”
“Xue, how can you be so stubborn, you have to stay in the hospital for a few more days.”
“Don’t stop me mother, I’ve to go back to the company today no matter what.” Xue was persistent, once she has decided there was no way of changing, if she has decided to check on the company, then she must go.
Xiaoyun Mu had no other option, so she had to help Xue Lin organize discharge procedures. Just as they walked out the door, Wolf Fang clan tried to stop them, but Xue was still persistent on going back to the company, and left the clan with no choice.
As soon as Xue had left, two people immediately followed them. One was Ziyi Qu, whom she naturally knew, who was her bodyguard, another was a pretty girl she didn’t know.
This girl was very coquettish, that’s right, coquettish. Her alluring face had hints of sexiness, her porcelain skin as if clear pond, and a pair of the most tempting eyes.
Body wise, she had large breasts, snow-white cleavage, attracting all attention, and tempting one with the desire to hold.
“Who are you, and what are you following me for?” Xue scrunched her brows and complained.
This woman may be stunning, but she had followed behind her, which made Xue uncomfortable, plus she wore a Japanese kimono that had upset her more.
“Hi, I’m Yoshiko Sato, I’ve been ordered by master Qingfeng to protect you.” Yoshiko Sato explained with a sensual smile.
Yoshiko has been conquered by Qingfeng after her defeat, she had become Qingfeng’s servant, and her mission was to protect Xue, although Xue had never met her.
“I’ve got Ziyi Qu protecting me, and that’s all I’ll need.” Xue scrunched her eyebrows and complained.
Xue wasn’t upset at Yoshiko; she was upset at Qingfeng, because Qingfeng employed her, and this naturally made her upset.
Although Ziyi was employed by Qingfeng as well, but Xue is now quite close with her, and instinctively ignored that fact.
Yoshiko attempted to explain, but Xue immediately waved her hands and got into a car with Ziyi. They had left Yoshiko at the hospital.
As Qingfeng drove into the hospital, he just happened to see Yoshiko walking around the hospital entrance.
“Yoshiko, didn’t I tell you to protect my wife Xue, what are you doing out here?” Qingfeng asked suspiciously after he stopped the car.
At the sight of Qingfeng, Yoshiko’s alluring face lit up in joy.
“Master, I wanted to protect Xue, but she won’t allow it”
“Where did Xue go?”
“Master, she said she’s going to the company to work.”
“That’s crazy, her body is still recovering, how can she return to work.” Qingfeng said with clear disappointment.
How can Xue do this? She should be resting in the hospital, not hopping off to the company, making all this trouble.
Qingfeng had Yoshiko sit beside him in the car, and they drove off to Ice Snow Corporation, he had to find Xue.
Ten minutes later, Qingfeng arrived at Ice Snow Corporation, and faced this massive towering building that made him uncomfortable.
This whole time, Qingfeng have been dealing with the martial world, he entered the Elixir King’s Tomb, and went to the ancient martial arts fair, the common life grew to be unfamiliar.
Now that he suddenly saw Ice Snow Corporation before him, it triggered countless memories, he remembered the first time he went for an interview here, and the interviewer then was Wanqiu Xia. The first time he saw Xiaoyue Zhang, and the first time he met Hao Luo.
Qingfeng parked his car in the garage, and then went straight for the company only to be blocked by Hao Luo at the door.
“Big brother Li, where have you been? I’ve missed you so much.” Hao Luo attacked Qingfeng with a big hug, and cried in his arms.
Hao Luo missed his big brother Li dearly, but couldn’t see him every time at work, which tormented him.
Chapter 805: Cold Blood’s Scheme
“Let go fatty, I can hardly breathe!” Qingfeng rolled his eyes and complained.
After Hao Luo had gotten married, he had no trouble getting fed or sleeping, so now he’s fatter than ever, and had nearly smothered Qingfeng with his hug.
Hao released Qingfeng, and appeared to be embarrassed. It had been a while since he had last seen Qingfeng, and now he couldn’t be happier.
“How’s the company, fatty?” Qingfeng asked, although he hadn’t been to the company in a while, he still cared very much for it.
“Big brother Li, the company had been facing some troubles lately. I heard director Wanqiu Xia said that the business isn’t going so great.” Hao Luo said melancholically.
Hao Luo wasn’t sure what exactly the troubles the company was going through were, but he clearly heard from company seniors that the company hasn’t been profiting, even to the point that it had affected some of the employee’s wages.
Qingfeng talked with Hao Luo for a short while and went into the company.
Inside the company sales department, a few gathered to talk about these troubles.
“Did you hear? The company has been having issues with its resources.”
“I know, a friend of mine works in purchasing. They said a few jade companies won’t provide us with these resources. The amount the company has in storage isn’t enough.”
“Sigh, without these resources, then there wouldn’t be jade and jewellery to be made, and we’ll have nothing to sell.”
A lot of people in the sales department were discussing. They knew that the Ice Snow Corporation was facing a very severe issue that hasn’t been dealt with yet.
As Qingfeng entered the sales department, he overheard these people’s discussion, and couldn’t help but to be worried.
“Oh, Mr.Li, you’re at the company?” said a sudden crisp voice.
It was a pretty girl that spoke. She had a cute face, perky nose, red luscious lips, and an alluring set of blinking eyes.
She wore a pale blue work dress that accentuated her large breasts and perky butt.
Qingfeng’s eyes lit up at the sight of such an innocent hot girl, he smiled, “Little Xiaoyue, haven’t seen you in a while. You’ve become more beautiful.”
“Oh big brother Li, you’ve always had a sweet tongue.” Xiaoyue Zhang blushed, and her heart thumped as she looked at Qingfeng.
Qingfeng found it was funny that even after all this time, she still blushed at the sight of him.
“Little Xiaoyue, I heard the company’s been dealing with some issues, is that true?” Qingfeng asked.
Xiaoyue’s innocent face turned sad, she said, “Our company ran out of resources. The Emerald Jade company refuses to give us anymore.”
“Oh right big brother Li, CEO Xue Lin is at work today. She’s frustrated over this issue right now.”
“Little Xiaoyue, how powerful is this Emerald Jade company?”
“Very! This Emerald Jade Company is the biggest jade resource supplier of Southern Huaxia. A lot of jade jewellery companies source from them, but they refuse to supply us.” Xiaoyue said angrily.
The Emerald Jade Company is the biggest jade supplier in Southern Huaxia’s sixteen provinces, and they supplied over 80% of the natural jade resources.
Xiaoyue didn’t understand why the Emerald Jade Company only refused to deal with the Ice Snow Corporation. It seemed to have some hidden intentions.
“Oh little Xiaoyue, don’t be upset. I’ll think of something. I’m off to see the CEO.” Qingfeng waved goodbye and went for the CEO office.
Office of the CEO.
Xue Lin just happened to be on the phone with the CEO of the Emerald Jade Company.
“President Xue (TL: it’s the last name which means Blood, not Xue Lin’s first name which means snow in Chinese), we’ve always had great cooperation in the past! Why refuse to sell raw jade to us now?”
“President Lin, there is a shortage of these natural resources. It’s all been bought out by other companies. If you’d like to buy some, you’ll have to come to Jiangnan province and purchase these yourself.”
“President Xue, I’ve been feeling ill. Can director Wanqiu Xia go?”
“No, it has to be President Lin yourself, or we won’t sell you any raw jade.” CEO Xue hung up right after he spoke.
Xue Lin was infuriated with the ringing tone coming from the other end. Asshole! This Emerald Jade Company CEO is a total asshole, forcing her to travel to Jiangnan province.
Although Xue Lin may be upset, she had already decided to pay the Jiangnan province a visit. She knew that without the natural jade resources, her company would go bankrupt.
Simultaneously, at the Emerald Jade Company offices in Jiangnan province.
Jiangnan province was the most financially advanced province in the sixteen Southern Huaxia provinces. They had the highest earnings, the most active financial market, in which jade stone, gold, white silver and other natural resources were the most abundant in the whole country.
Emerald Jade Company was the biggest company in Jiangnan province, and one of the largest companies in the south, with a market price of over a hundred billion.
Two people sat inside the company office.
On the CEO chair sat a large middle-aged man with dark and dense eyebrows, with a red mark in between.
His name was Li Xue, the CEO of Emerald Jade Company, who was amongst the Forbes top fifty wealthiest men.
In front of Li Xue sat a handsome youth, but with a perched lip and hints of evil thoughts glistening in his eyes.
If Qingfeng came in, he would immediately recognize this dark youth as Cold Blood, the young lord of the Crimson Blood Sect.
“Young master, I’ve followed your instructions to stop all sourcing to Ice Snow Corporation to force CEO Xue Lin into coming here.” Li Xue stood up and spoke with respect.
“Thank you uncle Li Xue. I will tell father, and after this is over, we will reward you with one blood vitality pill.” Cold Blood smiled nonchalantly.
If those from the outside world saw how Li Xue greeted Cold Blood with such respect, they would be in total shock. After all Li Xue was the amongst the top fifty richest men in the Huaxia region.
Unknown to Huaxia citizens, Li Xue was a follower of the Crimson Blood Sect, and the Emerald Jade Company was a subsidiary under the Crimson Blood Sect.
In the martial world, it didn’t matter if it was black or white, orthodox or unorthodox, they all had companies and industries in the common world. Some of the biggest companies and corporations were in fact controlled by these ancient martial powers.
Under Cold Blood’s investigation, they found out that Xue Lin was Qingfeng’s wife. He wanted to kill Qingfeng, but knew he wasn’t Qingfeng’s opponent. So, taking it out on his wife would be a wise option.
