This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 256 - 30: Kicking Someone When They’re Down, Wolves Share the Prey_2
Li Fei noticed a piece of paper left on the experimental table, and he walked over to pick it up:
"Something came up and I will be delayed for a few days. During these days, practice on your own. I've left you some questions."
The note was from Mo Yizhou, and on the back of the paper were the questions he had left for Li Fei, asking him to mix certain medicines to verify several "Poison Formulae."
Since Li Fei had proposed the idea of "Poison Formula," all their classroom research had revolved around the formula, studying pharmacology with the formula and deducing new formulas.
"Could Mo Yizhou suddenly having something to do be related to Zhang Zongyang's death?"
This thought suddenly sprang into Li Fei's mind.
He decided to wait a few days to see Mo Yizhou and then ask.
Putting down the paper, he started to busy himself in the laboratory.....
More than two hours later, Li Fei entered another classroom to attend Professor Ding Bo's "Innate Qi Practical Analysis."
Although he had already developed Force, it seemed unnecessary to continue rigorously practicing techniques for using Innate Qi.
But in reality, this class still greatly aided him. The stronger his control of Innate Qi, the higher his control of Force would rise.
Throughout this period of practice, Li Fei had already managed to combine Geng Metal True Qi and Blood Evil Qi instantly, so he no longer needed to store True Blood Power in his body in advance. As long as the Geng Metal True Qi and Blood Evil Qi weren't exhausted, he could unleash True Blood Power at any moment.
In a sense, Green-faced Ghost had truly entered the Qi Change Middle Stage and had become a Refining Strength Martial Master.
One was Vajra Force, the other True Blood Power—there was a significant difference, and Li Fei did not worry about exposing his identity through his Force.
After Professor Ding Bo's class, Li Fei's morning courses were over.
He went to the canteen for a meal, then returned to his dormitory to rest.
He had barely sat down when the dormitory phone rang.
Li Fei walked over and picked up the receiver:
"Hello?"
"Xiao Fei, Liu San just called me, saying the Beast King had confiscated a batch of Exotic Beast Food."
Shangguan Xiao's voice came through the phone.
In this era, phones had no caller ID and were hard to tap, so it was difficult to pinpoint locations through phone calls, allowing Li Fei to initiate calls to Liu San without worrying about revealing his identity. He had not given Liu San his dormitory phone number; Liu San always contacted him via Shangguan Xiao.
This way, even if someone wanted to investigate Green-faced Ghost's real identity through Liu San, Shangguan Xiao stood in between as an insurance.
"Is it the food for next quarter?"
Li Fei asked.
Just last night, Liu San had told him the company had just paid for a batch of Exotic Beast Food for the upcoming quarter.
Transactions with the Beast King were always quarterly.
"Yes, it's next quarter's food, worth over two hundred thousand. Now, they are withholding it and don't plan on delivering."
Shangguan Xiao's tone was cold.
Normally, one would pay a deposit first, then the full payment upon delivery.
But since Qingyuan City Management Company initially made the deal with the Beast King through threats, the Beast King was very demanding in trading methods, requiring Qingyuan City Management Company to pay in full first before they would ship the goods.
In Datong Prefecture, the Beast King monopolized the trade of Exotic Beast Food, so Li Fei's side had to agree to these trading terms.
They had already traded once before, and everything went smoothly.
But now, the Beast King had suddenly swallowed Qingyuan City Management Company's payment!
"Yu Longqing is ruthless and murderous, plus he is petty and vengeful. Initially, we had captured his key lieutenant and borrowed the Zhang Family's influence to force him to succumb. Now that the Zhang Family is in trouble, it's not surprising that he has pulled this maneuver."
Shangguan Xiao analyzed.
Li Fei, of course, understood the reasons behind this.
Initially, the Beast King did not want to offend the Zhang Family and had reluctantly accepted the trade with Qingyuan City Management Company. Although the deal was profitable for him, a person like him would not easily let go of a grudge.
Now that the Zhang Family had lost power, and the only person the Beast King feared, Zhang Zongyang, had died, he decisively chose to take revenge!
"The two hundred thousand in payments is actually manageable, but the main issue is that once we run out of food, the Exotic Beasts in the breeding farm won't last long, and that loss will be the greatest."
Li Fei said.
Once there was an issue with the beasts in the breeding farm, his losses would be at least in the millions!
"Master, is there any way to find a seller outside Datong Prefecture?"

Li Fei asked.
"There are two difficulties, first, even if we find a seller, they might not be willing to sell to us. Second, even if they agree to sell, we might not be able to successfully transport the goods back."
Shangguan Xiao said.
Yu Longqing had been able to monopolize the trade of Exotic Beast Food in Datong Prefecture for many years, naturally, he had some methods.
If outsiders dared to sell directly into Datong Prefecture, it would amount to declaring war on him, and without sufficient benefits, people definitely would not take the risk.
And even if they managed to bring the goods into Datong Prefecture, successfully transporting them to Xing City would be difficult, as Yu Longqing would definitely do everything to cut off this route!
"I understand, I'll think about it some more," Li Fei told Shangguan Xiao.
At this time, the Zhang Family was already in trouble, and he did not want Shangguan Xiao to be distracted by his affairs.
"Alright, Xiao Fei, don't be impulsive, at this time, you must keep your composure. If it really comes to it... just bow your head to Yu Longqing. The market in Xing City isn't something he can easily give up; after all, we'll still have to do business in the future."
