Bei Feng and the rest travelled quickly through the dense forest. The roars of Demonic Beasts rang out constantly around them.
The Hundred Break Mountain Range was simply too big, and there were many Demonic Beasts. But, the number of people who came in here to give up their lives was even higher!
The humans wanted to obtain the resources in the Hundred Break Mountain Range, hunt Demonic Beasts, find spirit herbs, and mine precious minerals.
Meanwhile, the Demonic Beasts wanted to hunt humans as well to grow stronger.
“Die!” Lu Bu pointed with his finger, and a huge amount of blood Qi gushed out and instantly killed a Demonic Beast several tens of zhang away.
The group of them had already been moving through the jungle for several days; although this was already the outer region of the Hundred Break Mountain Range, it was a mystery how these half-step Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beasts appeared here.
Aside from humans and Demonic Beasts, there were also groups of cultivators lying in wait there to hunt other cultivators returning from the Hundred Break Mountain Range.
Bei Feng and the rest had encountered a few groups of these robbers on their journey as well, but judging from their being completely unharmed, one could easily surmise the fates of those robbers.
Lu Bu dug out the Demonic Core of the beast before him. As he returned, he reported, “Family Head, we will reach the city in half a day’s time.”
As for the other parts of the Demonic Beast, no one spared them as much as a second glance.
Their harvest in this period of time had been exceptionally plentiful. Their spatial rings were already almost completely filled at this point, and it was basically impossible to fit such a large Demonic Beast in.
“En, let’s hurry up then.” Bei Feng nodded lightly in response. Looking at the huge Demonic Beast carcass in front of him, he felt it somewhat of a waste. At this time, he somewhat began to miss his old spatial ring.
Although his current spatial ring’s space was not exactly small, it was not much bigger at all. The total storage area was a bit too lacking.
Even the spatial ring with the largest storage space on his hand had only around a hundred cubic meters. And this was even the spatial ring he’d obtained from Su Yun Zhong.
According to the market value, a spatial ring like this was worth at least 10,000 high grade spirit stones!
A few hours later, the outline of the city faraway could already be seen, huge and majestic. Although it was a city, it was also a defensive fortress.
Bei Feng turned toward the three Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beasts, and said, “We’ve reached the city. The three of you need to be more low key now; shrink your body size a little.”
“Ji-ji!” Gu Qi nodded, and didn’t do anything else. This gangster rabbit was only about two meters tall in the first place anyway.
Han Kui and the armadillo also nodded, and their bodies instantly shrunk to become only one, two meters tall. The auras on their bodies were also retracted as their eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Very quickly, the group entered the city. Countless shops lined the sides of the spacious streets, and powerful cultivators shuttled to and from constantly.
Flying beasts, crawling monsters, tall buildings, and countless humans all gathered in one place, giving the city an extremely unreal feeling.
“Esteemed Sirs, please wait a moment!” A guy dressed in green clothing approached Bei Feng’s group with rapid steps, a fawning smile on his face.
Lu Bu and the rest stared warily at the guy, and moved to surround Bei Feng protectively. Their bodies reeked of killing intent after having stayed inside the Hundred Break Mountain Range for such a long time and experiencing so many life and death situations.
Lu Zhi felt exceedingly uncomfortable under the fierce stares of Lu Bu and the rest. This group of people was so strong! But for the sake of his own commision and results, he still hardened his scalp, and stated, “Sirs, I have no malicious intentions, I’m a person from the Qing Zhou Chamber of Commerce. I just wish to purchase the spirit herbs and Demonic Beast materials from you all.”
“Let him come.” Bei Feng’s voice rang out lightly, causing Lu Zhi to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Yes!”
Lu Bu and the rest stepped aside, allowing Lu Zhi to approach Bei Feng. However, they still kept their eyes on him tightly. Although they knew that the family head’s strength was sufficient to deal with anything, and that they were not really needed, as Bei Feng’s guards, they still had to perform their duty.
“Esteemed Sir, this one is a small trader of the Qing Zhou Chamber of Commerce.” Lu Zhi looked at Bei Feng, hurriedly clasped his fists, and introduced himself.
Bei Feng nodded, and asked, “Where is your chamber of commerce?”
The pressure was truly a little big when facing this group of people. Thus, Lu Zhi wiped the sweat on his brows as he looked expectantly at Bei Feng, and said, “Sir, our chamber of commerce is at the city’s center. Our foundations are strong, so if you have anything you don’t want, you can give it to us to handle for you.”
Lu Zhi said it as if he was conducting business on behalf of the Qing Zhou Chamber of Commerce, but if one looked at it crudely, he was simply a small purchasing agent with low cultivation at the Third Layer of the Hundred Year realm. Every time he purchased a batch of spirit herbs or Demonic Cores, he would receive a corresponding commission.
“Lead the way.” Bei Feng nodded and smiled at Lu Zhi.
Bei Feng and the rest’s harvest this time was exceedingly huge, but there were many things that they didn’t have a use for. Keeping them was a waste of space, so they might as well sell it.
Because of that, Bei Feng did not reject Lu Zhi’s suggestion. Some Demonic Beast materials, minerals, and the low-grade spirit herbs were frankly quite useless to Bei Feng.
“Sirs, this way, please.” Lu Zhi’s face lit up with excitement as he led the way. He hadn’t expected this bunch of powerful experts would be so agreeable.
“Qing Zhou Chamber of Commerce, what solid foundations.” Bei Feng and the rest were all cultivators, and their speed was very fast. In just half an hour, they’d reached the city’s central. A towering building over 500 meters tall appeared before their eyes.
The geographical conditions here were excellent. The center was a huge square with an area spanning more than ten kilometers. It was actually a landing zone prepared for warships. The surrounding buildings were the most powerful chambers of commerce.
The Qing Zhou Chamber of Commerce could only be considered an average company on this street. Countless cultivators flowed in and out of their doors constantly, and the scene was incredibly bustling.
After he led Bei Feng and the rest in, Lu Zhi quickly reported the purpose of their visit to the front desk. After that, he arranged them a large warehouse at the central level of the building.
“It was the right decision to come to our chamber of commerce, Sirs. We have professional appraisers here who can quickly determine the value of your items,” Lu Zhi introduced to Bei Feng, and asked,” Right, what does Esteemed Sir wish to sell?”
“Let’s talk further after your appraiser arrives.” Bei Feng smiled lightly. Their harvest this time had been extremely plentiful—plentiful to the point where 40, 50 spatial rings were stuffed full of items.
And that was only a small portion of it. After all, Bei Feng had robbed the rings of several hundred cultivators. All the items inside had already been sorted out by Lu Bu and the rest in their free time.
Sitting at the table outside of the warehouse, Bei Feng talked casually as he sniffed the tea’s fragrance.
Time passed slowly, and Bei Feng’s brows slowly furrowed.
“Esteemed Sirs, please be patient, I will go and take a look immediately.” Lu Zhi saw the Bei Feng’s brows were furrowed, and he hurriedly stood up and rushed out.
Ten minutes passed, and the tea began to grow cold. Bei Feng got up and left with Lu Bu and the rest.
Lu Zhi smiled ingratiatingly at a youth, and said, “Master Yan, it’s really a big client this time! And the client has also been kept waiting for a long time, look…”
“So what? I’ve just appraised the stuff of an important lord, and I’m exhausted. I need to rest.”
A purple-robed youth lay lazily on the couch while two servants patiently peeled a bowl of grapes beside him. Yan Hua had already lost all interest in Lu Zhi’s so called ‘big client’ by now. The last time he’d also said the same thing, but in the end, that person did not even have 100 Demonic Cores.
“Interesting. Lu Zhi, is it? I’ll gift you with an opportunity. Do you dare to claim it?” A light and cold voice rang out, and Yan Hua and Lu Zhi both jumped up with shock. Turning around, they saw a white-robed youth standing at the door.
Yan Hua’s face sunk, and he yelled, “Who are you? Who let you in?!”
The person at the door was naturally Bei Feng. He was about to bring Lu Bu and the rest away when he happened to hear the two’s conversation.
“Master Yan, please calm your anger, this is the client I told you about—”
“Client? From his looks, he’s just a mere Hundred Year realm cultivator. What big client? Fine, since you’re here, take your things out for me to take a look!” Yan Hua had a look of disdain on his face. Not even bothering to hide his thoughts, he first berated Lu Zhi, and then turned to Bei Feng, not sparing him arrogant words.
Yan Hua indeed had the qualifications to be prideful. At a young age, he’d already made it as a high-grade appraiser. His elder was also a high-level executive of the Qing Zhou Chamber of Commerce with extraordinary strength. Thus, he did not put Bei Feng in his eyes at all.
This was just a random Hundred Year realm cultivator. Yan Hua completely did not care about offending Bei Feng.
“Oh, I suddenly decided that I’m not selling anymore. Lu Zhi, do you have the courage to grasp the opportunity that I’m giving you?” Bei Feng only glanced briefly at Yan Hua, and turned his attention back to Lu Zhi.
“I’m not sure what Esteemed Sir means by great opportunity…?” Lu Zhi asked tentatively.
“Hmph! Not selling? Are you playing with me? You should know the consequences for doing that!” Yan Hua immediately grew angry when he saw how Bei Feng had belittled him.
“Oh? What consequences? I’d really like to know,” Bei Feng asked with some interest. However, his face completely did not change.
Yan Hua pressed a button, and called out, “Men, someone’s creating trouble here.”
After that, he crossed his arms and smiled coldly at Bei Feng.
Bei Feng smiled, and said to Lu Zhi, “The opportunity I’m offering you is simple. You will resign from this place, and I will bring you to another chamber of commerce to sell my materials. Of course, the commision from this deal will naturally go to you.”
From this brief period of interaction, his impression of Lu Zhi was still not bad.
“This… many thanks for Esteemed Sir’s kind intentions.” Lu Zhi had a conflicted expression on his face, but he ultimately still rejected after some hesitation. From Lu Zhi’s point of view, compared to offending Yan Hua, that unknown amount of commission was not worth it.
Bei Feng shook his head lightly as he heard this. He’d already given the opportunity, but it should be fate that he hadn’t grasped it.
“Lu Bu, smack his mouth. Remember not to kill him. It’s quite troublesome to kill someone in the city.” Bei Feng’s words reverberated lightly in the room as he turned to leave.
“Yes!”
Lu Bu nodded and his body instantly appeared inside the rom. Stretching out his hand, he grabbed out at Yan Hua and instantly locked the latter in place. His blood Qi morphed into a palm, and he smacked it towards Yan Hua’s face.
“PA!”
“AHHH!”
Even though Lu Bu had restrained most of his strength, that single slap had stunned Yan Hua completely, causing him to screech like a pig as nearly half his teeth flew out of his bloody mouth.
“You dare to hit me?! All of you are dead! You will not leave this building alive!” Yan Hua’s face was stained with blood, which flowed out of his toothless mouth constantly, causing him to look exceptionally wretched.
“Noisy!” Lu Bu furrowed his brows, and sent another slap at his face!
Although the pitiful Yan Hua was talented, how was he a match for Lu Bu? Just like that, he was directly beaten up like a tied up chicken, completely unable to retaliate.
