Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 380 - : The Price [Third Update]

Chapter 380: Chapter 380: The Price [Third Update]

The man said, “Li Xiaoyao, male, 28 years old, once served as the head of the security department at Pan-Blue International, and later became the personal bodyguard of Lan Cai, the executive CEO of Pan-Blue International in Lu Province.”

“A commoner?” Yun Feiyang couldn’t quite understand. How could an ordinary person own a Spirit Stone Vein? Moreover, how had he managed to negotiate with the state and secure such a high profit margin of ninety percent?

The man shook his head and continued, “This Li Xiaoyao, he’s hidden his true capabilities exceedingly well. He is actually a Cultivator. Not long ago, in the Ghost Market, he dazzled onlookers by killing a Cultivator from the Wu Family of Zhongzhou who had reached the third level of the Condensation Realm. With that fight, he made a name for himself.”

“Oh? There’s such a story?” Yun Feiyang asked, “Is there more?”

“There is,” the man nodded and said, “The land above the Spirit Stone Vein used to be an antique street and right above the vein itself was an antique shop. That shop belongs to Li Xiaoyao. So, in a way, this Spirit Stone Vein is Li Xiaoyao’s.”

Yun Feiyang raised his hand to interrupt the man, his fingers lightly tapping on the table as he fell into deep thought.

The Spirit Stone Vein was discovered after a Demon Beast appeared, and before that, Yun Feiyang had gathered all the Cultivators in Ling City, preparing to pool their strengths to deal with that very beast.

However, just as they were about to take action, the beast suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The disappearance of the beast was followed by the discovery of the Spirit Stone Vein, a surprise that was hard to overlook.

Yun Feiyang, with his meticulous mind, sorted through the useful information from the man’s words today.

First, Li Xiaoyao’s antique shop was directly above the Spirit Stone Vein.

Second, Li Xiaoyao must have known about the Spirit Stone Vein in advance. Otherwise, he would never be able to negotiate with Cheng Dongliang to acquire ninety percent of the ownership. Yun Feiyang guessed it was probably through some exchange of interests.

And the most critical point, it must be the Spirit Stone Vein itself.

Li Xiaoyao was originally just a bodyguard, but then suddenly became a Cultivator. Yun Feiyang didn’t believe that this transformation was unrelated to the Spirit Stone Vein.

Thinking of this, Yun Feiyang couldn’t help feeling excited. The ability to transform an ordinary person into a Cultivator couldn’t be due to a handful of Spirit Stones—it was likely that hidden treasures were present within the Spirit Stone Vein. It was these treasures that elevated Li Xiaoyao to a revered Cultivator.

Yes, it must be so!

Having grasped the key point, Yun Feiyang asked, “Do you know where Li Xiaoyao is now?”

The man shook his head: “I haven’t been paying attention.”

“Then find out, and inform me immediately once you’ve done so. Alright, you may go now.”

After the man left, Yun Feiyang walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the beautiful scenery outside, his mind churning with thoughts.

Even if Li Xiaoyao had become a Cultivator through treasures from the Spirit Stone Vein, he couldn’t have made great strides in such a short period. Yun Feiyang had a hundred ways to extract the information he needed from Li Xiaoyao’s lips.

If the kid was smart, he’d waste his cultivation and spare his life. If not, then Yun Feiyang wouldn’t hesitate to resort to drastic measures.

In a car headed towards Ling City, the silence had lasted for half an hour, growing somewhat awkward.

“Li Xiaoyao.”

“Hmm?”

“Can you teach me Cultivation?”

“You want to cultivate?”

“Duh, who wouldn’t?” Lin Yuanyuan snapped back, becoming fierce in an instant.

“Well, cultivation is not exactly difficult, but it’s not simple either…”

Lin Yuanyuan cut him off directly, “What are the requirements?”

Raising two fingers, Li Xiaoyao said, “Talent, bone structure.”

“How do you think my talent and bone structure are?”

Glancing over, Li Xiaoyao withdrew his gaze and said, “Although I really don’t want to crush your hopes, your talent and bone structure are indeed trashy!”

Lin Yuanyuan’s cheeks puffed out, and she finally couldn’t help but curse, “You damn scoundrel, have your dog eyes gone blind? I was born with a natural beauty that I can’t abandon. You actually say my bone structure and talent are no good? Give you another chance, say it again.”

Li Xiaoyao: “…”

“Alright, if you want to cultivate, then cultivate,” Li Xiaoyao said as he took out a jade bottle and tossed it over. Lin Yuanyuan pulled out the stopper, and a fragrance filled the carriage.

“What’s this?” Lin Yuanyuan licked her lips, feeling an urge to toss it into her mouth.

“Marrow-Washing Bone-Cutting Pill.”

“Can I cultivate after eating it?”

“No.”

“You damn servant, you’re playing me!”

Li Xiaoyao said leisurely, “If you want to cultivate, you have to pay a price.”

Zhu Xiaoyue looked at him warily and asked, “What price?”

“Talent is actually about comprehension, and that’s something you can’t change afterward. Bone structure, on the other hand, can be changed later. This Marrow-Washing Bone-Cutting Pill can remove all impurities from your meridians, but it can’t change your bone structure.”

“You’re saying so much, what exactly do you want me to pay? Can’t you just say it all at once? A big man like you speaking so half-heartedly.”

“Hey, it’s you asking me, not the other way around. Can’t you have a better attitude?” Li Xiaoyao said, speechless.

Lin Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes into pretty crescents and said in a coquettish voice, “Big brother, please tell me quickly. I can hardly wait.”

“Stop!”

The car drifted, nearly spinning out.

“Damn it!” Li Xiaoyao steadied the steering wheel, his mouth twitching, and turned his head to look at her, saying, “You want to be a pair of doomed lovers with me, is that it?”

“How could that be? You’re so powerful, a small car accident couldn’t possibly injure you,” Lin Yuanyuan said as she blinked her big eyes, filled with a look of deep affection.

Shaking his arm, Li Xiaoyao said helplessly, “If you want to change your bone structure thoroughly, it’s simple. I can nurture your bones with my spiritual power.”

“Is it that simple?”

“Yeah.”

“What’s the price you mentioned?”

If Li Xiaoyao wished, he only needed to press a little harder, and Lin Yuanyuan would definitely fall into his hands without struggle.

But Li Xiaoyao didn’t do that; rather than a lover, he preferred to maintain a friendship with Lin Yuanyuan.

This kind of relationship allowed him more space with Lin Yuanyuan, to act and speak without restraint. But once that barrier was broken through, the relationship would be out of control.
