Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Establishing Cooperation, Xin Guangxuan’s Conjecture
Translator: 549690339
Ye Feng knew that Xin Guangxuan meant well, but for the moment, it was inconvenient to spread the news that the Tiger General and Souhun Zhenren’s clone had been slain.
Otherwise, the Misty Sect would attract attention from all sides.
“At this stage, our Misty Sect is only a High Ranked Sect and does not yet have the strength to stand against a Star-Level Sect, better to keep a low profile,” Ye Feng thought to himself.
Seeing Ye Feng deep in thought, Xin Guangxuan thought he was worrying about the Demon General and the Soul Seizing Sect, and was about to add something.
“So this is Misty Peak, the scenery is pretty good indeed!” a loud and sloppy voice spread across the mountain peak.
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Pang Haiyun and Xie Jiaren arriving hand in hand, standing at the top of the peak and looking around.
“How did you two get up here?” Ye Feng asked in surprise.
After Xin Guangxuan had come up, he had clearly closed the mountain passageway, yet these two still managed to make it here.
Ye Feng immediately thought of something and asked inwardly, “System, do Pang Haiyun and Xie Jiaren meet the criteria to be accepted into the sect?”
“They meet the criteria,” the System said.
Hearing this, Ye Feng had an odd expression on his face.
Xie Jiaren and Pang Haiyun were disciples of other sects, yet the System still let them pass through the Misty Area—it was clearly encouraging him to poach!
“This Dog System is not the Strongest Sect Leader System, it should be called the Strongest Poach System!” Ye Feng complained to himself.
At this moment, Xie Jiaren laughed loudly, “Sect Master Ye, why can’t we come up? Could it be that your Misty Sect harbors some earth-shattering secret…”
Before Xie Jiaren could finish speaking, Pang Haiyun had already covered her mouth, saying with an embarrassed face, “Sect Master Ye, the Spirit Beast Feed has been entirely refined. Jiaren said she forgot to arrange a time with you last time, so she personally delivered it.”
“What Spirit Beast Feed?” Xin Guangxuan asked in surprise, “Junior Sister, you’ve been missing for the past few days. I thought you had returned to the Sect, but it turns out you went to find Xie Jiaren?”
Pang Haiyun nodded and explained the full story.
Upon learning that it was because Ye Feng needed Spirit Beast Feed and thus sought out the Spirit Beast Sect, Xin Guangxuan gave an “Oh” and stood to the side to watch.
Ye Feng saluted Xie Jiaren with his hands, “Daoist Xie, where is my merchandise?”
Xie Jiaren showed a sly smile, “Sect Master Ye, why be so formal? Isn’t it better to just call me Jiaren?”
At this, Ye Feng’s face turned cold, “We’re talking business here!”
Xie Jiaren, seeing Ye Feng’s serious appearance, covered her mouth to laugh and rolled up her left sleeve, revealing ten bracelets on her wrist.
“It’s actually ten Lower Grade Storage Bracelets!” Xin Guangxuan exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Feng was astounded, thinking to himself that Xie Jiaren, as the designated heir of the Spirit Beast Sect, was truly a little rich girl.
“Sect Master Ye gave me a thousand pounds of High-rank Demon Soldier Level Demon Beast flesh, which I enhanced with quite a bit of Spiritual Liquid, medicinal herbs, and food ingredients, eventually refining three thousand pounds of High-Grade Spirit Beast Feed,” Xie Jiaren explained while opening three of the Storage Bracelets and pouring out three large wooden barrels full of Spirit Beast Feed on the ground.
A rich fragrance immediately spread in all directions.
“Wow!” With a cry, Brother Flathead led the other Spiritual Beasts as they rushed over and gathered around the barrels, their faces full of desire to eat.
“Wow, such a cute little pig… Hey, these five are naturally born Spiritual Beasts, Sect Master Ye’s Misty Sect truly does have secrets!” Xie Jiaren exclaimed as she took Pig San Pang into her arms.
“I only provided a thousand pounds of flesh, and you made three thousand pounds of Spirit Beast Feed for me?” Ye Feng gaped, “That’s a lot of water you’ve added!”
Pang Haiyun quickly waved her hands, “Sect Master Ye, don’t misunderstand, I’ve been watching Jiaren these past days, and the included Spiritual Liquid is essential; there was no intention to shortchange you.”
Xie Jiaren wore a rare serious expression, “Sect Master Ye, although I’m usually casual, I never slack off when it comes to important matters… Besides, I did not come here solely to deliver the feed but also for another matter.”
Ye Feng looked intrigued, “What matter?”
“Our Spirit Beast Sect can refine Spirit Beast Feed, but we are in dire need of High-rank Demon Soldier Level Demon Beast flesh. If you have more, I would like to partner with you,” Xie Jiaren revealed her purpose for coming.
“How shall we cooperate?” Ye Feng was somewhat interested.
“You provide the high-rank demon soldier level demonic beast flesh, and I’ll be responsible for refining it into high-grade spirit beast feed. After the job is done, half goes to you, and the other half to me. I won’t charge a penny for the processing fee,” Xie Jiaren said.
Ye Feng waved his hand, “No, that’s asking for too much.”
Xie Jiaren raised her little hand and said, “Sect Master Ye, don’t be hasty in refusing. After the other half of the feed becomes mine, I will sell it all. Whatever money is earned, I’ll give you a third.”
Ye Feng fell into thought.
All he had to provide was the demonic beast flesh, and he could not only get spirit beast feed heavier than the flesh but also a share of the money—it was a no-loss deal either way.
As for whether Xie Jiaren made a profit and how much, Ye Feng didn’t care much.
Because, the Misty Sect couldn’t lose either way.
“Good, it’s a deal!”
“Sect Master Ye is so straightforward. Let’s seal the deal with a high-five!”
Slap!
The two high-fived on the spot, sealing their cooperation.
Pointing at the three big barrels of feed, Xie Jiaren said, “These three thousand catties of high-grade spirit beast feed, calculating at a quarter of the selling price, the processing fee alone would be seventy-five lower grade spirit stones. But to celebrate our consensus, I’ll waive the processing fee.”
“That’s very generous!” Ye Feng was overjoyed and immediately stored the feed in his system space. Then he placed ten thousand catties of demonic beast flesh on the ground, “This is ten thousand catties of high-rank demon soldier level demonic beast flesh.”
Besides the corpses of the Tiger General, the Black Patterned Serpent Demon, and the Little Wolf General, all remaining high-rank demon soldier level demonic beast flesh was here.
“So much!” Xie Jiaren was shocked.
Pang Haiyun and Xin Guangxuan were also astonished.
“How many high-rank demon soldier level demonic beasts were killed for this?” Xin Guangxuan gulped nervously.
Typically, a high-rank demon soldier level demonic beast has only a few hundred catties of flesh, and the larger ones a thousand catties. After removing the bones, not much meat is left.
And yet, Ye Feng had casually brought out tens of thousands of catties. Didn’t that mean dozens of high-rank demon soldier level demonic beasts?
“I heard from the Third Elder that the forces under the Demon General in Fuyun Gloomy Forest had only a few dozen high-rank demon soldier level demonic beasts. Couldn’t they all have been wiped out by Sect Master Ye… Then, what about the Demon General?”
At this thought, Xin Guangxuan’s heart trembled.
Could it be that Ye Feng had also slain the Demon General?
Otherwise, having taken out the majority of the Demon General’s forces at once, it was unlikely that the Demon General would sit idly by. And now, here was Ye Feng, standing safely before them, which probably meant the Demon General was defeated.
The more Xin Guangxuan thought about it, the more he was shaken.
Unaware of Xin Guangxuan’s inner thoughts, Ye Feng watched as Xie Jiaren took away the ten thousand catties of flesh and asked, “Now that the transaction is complete, may I know when you plan to return?”
“What, does Sect Master Ye intend to ask me to spend the night?” Having settled the serious business, Xie Jiaren began to tease once more.
Spend the night?
If I dared to do so, by tomorrow morning, the entire army of the Spirit Beast Sect would probably be marching on Misty Peak!
Ye Feng complained in his heart.
“In consideration of your safety, carrying so much demonic beast flesh is too precious; I insist you return to your branch immediately.” Having said that, Ye Feng grabbed Xie Jiaren by the shoulder and unceremoniously pushed her towards the mountain path heading down.
“Sect Master Ye, are you really going to be so ruthless with me?” Xie Jiaren huffed indignantly as she and Pang Haiyun disappeared into the misty area.
“Finally, they’re gone, and there’s some peace and quiet around here.” Watching the two women leave, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, he saw Xin Guangxuan standing there, still in a state of shock.
