章節 9: Business Proposal
Chen Wei delivered on his promise soon after. He had come back with a bag full of meat dumplings and some rice wine.
Lin Fei could understand the apprehension the man was feeling. From Chen Wei's point of view, he must have looked like someone already in the realm of Qi Gathering. Which meant he could at any point elevate his status and lop his head off.
Seeing the scared look on his face, Lin Fei felt satisfied.
At night, after dinner, Lin Xinyue sat on his bedside and looked at his moonlit visage. When he asked her what she was thinking, she replied, "Just gazing at the face of my man, whom I love more than anything else in this world."
That night he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
And then the day arrived, and he couldn't help but let out a groan.
"Mother, please stop."
"What?" His mother batted her eyelashes innocently. While her hands were busy with work that was anything but innocent.
"Stop trying to pull your ass cheeks and showing me your butthole."
Lin Xinyue blinked at him and then let go of her bubbly ass, causing her plump butt to jiggle in soft ripples. "Why don't you just rub one out for me then?"
Lin Fei stared at her, blank-faced, and replied, "No."
After another bout of teasing from his mother, he left the quarters and searched for Chen Wei. He turned out to be living in an isolated house. Although the house in question consisted of a single room and kitchen, it was still better than his dingy accommodation.
"Let's talk inside." Saying so, Lin Fei strode through the doors, with Chen Wei following close behind.
The burly man had his face wrapped in bandages, and as he took his seat, he let out a soft hiss of pain.
"About yesterday," Lin Fei began, watching Chen Wei's shoulders tense, he smiled. "We can consider the matter between us over. Instead, I have come with a proposition."
"About what?" Lin Fei raised a brow at his question, and Chen Wei added, "B-Boss?"
Nodding, he asked, "How well do your connections work? Can you sell tiered items?"
Chen Wei put on a thoughtful expression and replied, "I can, but it would take a cut out from the profits."
"How much?"
"Depends on the deal itself, but at least 10%."
Lin Fei nodded and spoke. "Well then, I need you to sell something for me. Five Tier 1 Talismans. How much would they fetch?"
"F-Five?!" Chen Wei said with a startled voice. Though his hard stare leveled at him, he calmed down and said, "I don't know exactly, but after deducting the required fees and all, you should still earn over 3000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones in profits."
"Alright." Lin Fei stood up and took out a bundle of talismans from his inner pocket. "Sell these and buy me ten Earth Essence Stones and ten Body Cleansing Elixirs. Tally up the rest."
Seeing the stupefied look on his face, Lin Fei added. "And if anyone finds out it was me, then you can bid your life a farewell. Finish the task well, and you get to keep a portion of the leftover spoils."
Those leftover spoils would still amount to over 1000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Thinking of the profits, Chen Wei couldn't help but salivate.
"Understand?"
"Ah?! Yes." He nodded furiously. "I mean, understood, Boss."
With a satisfied expression, Lin Fei left the place.
His ultimate goal was one he shared with most of the cultivators, the dream of reaching the top. But what he desired in the short term was to break through to the Qi Gathering Realm and move to a better lodging.
Although he had a number of methods in his head and the support of a true blue Immortal, Lin Fei wasn't an idiot to think that he could advance without any help from others. No, he definitely needed much more resources.
The best way to earn support is to show a domineering talent. His mother explained. Only then can you expect to live in a carefree manner while cultivating in serenity.
Of course, I would need to break through to the ranks of Qi Gathering first. He replied.
His fight yesterday had been the result of his vast experience and better cultivation art. Compared to a Qi Gathering Realm expert, he would still fall short.
And then there's the system, he thought.
In a normal situation, the System would be the one he would lean on the most. It wasn't like there was any lack of female disciples with a Trial Disciple status. And with his looks, any of them would be willing to jump into his bed.
The only thing was, Lin Fei wasn't desperate. He might have the system, but his means developed over millions of years didn't leave him helpless.
The system was still a prominent factor that would boost his growth, but for now he would need to rely on himself.
After arriving back at his place, Lin Fei saw no sign of Ye Chenxi. The guy had disappeared, and so had his belongings. Probably left the mountains.
Putting the thought to rest, he took a seat on the bed and started to meditate. Without the help of potions and concoctions, body refinement was a difficult and near impossible prospect. Of course, that was only true for others.
Despite not needing the resources, any ingestion would still help him immensely.
He took out the three body-strengthening elixirs and downed one of them. Circulating the earthly essence through his body, he felt a prickling sensation wash over his body and then stab deep into his bones.
The cultivation was always a difficult and painful process, and the early stages even more so. One would have to endure physical pain that would make mortals pass out in agony, and they would have to do it again and again and again.
Lin Fei released a breath of murky air and felt the impurities within his body lessen slightly. He then took hold of another elixir and quaffed it down.
Just like that, another session began.
