"In a moment, you gather a team of pioneers again, rearrange the offerings, and tomorrow I will join them for the test, and by the way, teach them some combat techniques."

"The cook is really considerate," Li Banfeng repeatedly thanked him and quickly summoned the pioneers.

In the area of three miles, Li Banfeng gathered a hundred three-headed people, and the cook shook his head: "Seventh Master, this is not a case where the more people the better. If one of them chickens out and crosses the boundary, all our previous efforts go to waste.

I will select thirty from these hundred people, that will be enough."

The cook picked out the people, wrote the contract, and arranged the offerings. Just as He Yuxiu was about to respond, a man suddenly approached to talk.

"Miss He, hold on, I have something to discuss with you."

He Yuxiu stared at the man for a moment, then asked, "Are you Feng Chongli?"

Upon hearing the name, Li Banfeng also looked over.

Why is Feng Chongli here?

Could he also be interested in this territory?

He is from Snowflake Beach.

He Yuxiu didn’t make a mistake, the person who came was indeed Feng Chongli.

Feng Chongli took off the top hat from his head, bowed to He Yuxiu: "Miss, it’s truly an honor for Feng to be remembered by you. I am here today to discuss a major business deal with you, a deal of three million Ocean Dollars."

"Three million Ocean Dollars?" He Yuxiu laughed, "That’s not a small sum, a Hundred Joy Gate is only eight hundred thousand Ocean Dollars; tell me, what is this business?"

Feng Chongli pointed to the ground: "It’s about this piece of land, a territory of hundreds of miles radius, Feng would like to offer three million Ocean Dollars to buy it."

He Yuxiu shook her head: "Not for sale."

Feng Chongli took out an abacus: "If you think it’s too little, we can negotiate the price further; quote a price, and I’ll calculate again."

He Yuxiu is not one to like negotiating, she told Feng Chongli straight: "You don’t need to calculate, I won’t sell no matter how much."

Feng Chongli flicked the beads on the abacus and urged again: "Miss, you really need to consider this, calculate the gains and losses carefully.

I know you want this land to ascend Above the Clouds, I can find you another new land, this new land won’t cost anything, I’ll gift it to you.

Of course, the new land I offer has an incomplete contract, only one piece, but since it’s for ascending Above the Clouds, one piece is enough, having more would be a burden.

Currently, this territory has two contract books, attracting a swarm of greedy eyes. I am a businessman willing to pay for purchase, but others may not follow these rules; they might not offer money and may even want your life. Weigh the pros and cons yourself."

He Yuxiu no longer wished to engage with Feng Chongli: "It’s no use saying all this, I won’t sell this territory, you’d better leave."

"I suspect you’re not the one in charge here," Feng Chongli shifted his gaze to Li Banfeng, "Li Qi, what do you think? Can this deal be made?"

Li Banfeng was deep in thought.

He wasn’t pondering how to do business, but how to fight this battle.

If it were someone else, the presence of Green Flower’s name along with the power of five thousand three-headed people would scare them away.

But Feng Chongli wouldn’t be scared, he isn’t afraid of Green Flower, nor does he seem afraid of facing these five thousand three-headed people.

According to the clues provided by An Zongding, Feng Chongli’s cultivation level has already surpassed what’s Above the Clouds.

Li Banfeng’s Home and Travelling Cultivation levels are approaching Cloud Top Second Layer; He Yuxiu just reached Above the Clouds, lacking layers, and not yet fully recovered.

Relying solely on them, they surely can’t defeat Feng Chongli, and even if they bring five thousand people to fight together, the victory is uncertain.

Cultivators surpassing Above the Clouds can’t attack the proper land’s Local Deity in the territory, which Li Qi knew.

Facing the new land’s Local Deity, do they still need to abide by this rule? Li Banfeng wasn’t clear.

Not knowing, he asked directly, Li Banfeng said: "If we don’t want to sell, what will you do if you try to force us?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Feng Chongli chuckled: "You guessed it right, I am determined to have this land. Whether you sell or not, cough cough, sell, whether or not you sell, cough cough, you have to sell..."

While he was talking tough, Feng Chongli couldn’t stop coughing, which weakened his momentum.

Li Banfeng was also curious why Feng Chongli suddenly started coughing.

Turns out there was a middle-aged man beside him smoking, and the pipe was filled with some sort of strong tobacco leaf.

Feng Chongli watched as the man smoked from the pipe relentlessly; seeing that the tobacco in the pipe was nearly burned, Feng Chongli specifically asked: "Done smoking?"

The middle-aged man tapped out the ash, then packed another pipe: "Still early, I smoke three pots!"

Feng Chongli nodded slightly: "If I am not mistaken, you must be Three-pot Smoking Pipe Leaf Yellow, Elder Ye."

"You guessed wrong, my surname is Huang, not Ye." Ye Jianhuang lit the pipe and took a cheerful puff.

Feng Chongli bowed: "Senior Ye, are you also here for this territory?"

Ye Jianhuang exhaled some smoke, shook his head: "I’m not here for the territory, I’m here for my brother, Old Qi. I heard you’re starting a business; I’m here to congratulate you!"

Li Banfeng didn’t know Ye Jianhuang, but he recalled a phrase Tang Changfa once said at Changsan Book Residence.

The City Master Sun found two helpers, one is Ah Gui, and the other is Ah Huang.

Li Banfeng joyfully greeted him: "Brother Huang, I’ve been waiting for you!"
