The beautiful country is jumping! It’s time to show off its muscles!
As a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, Lin Xiyue's speed was already incomparable to what it once was.
She lightly tapped her toes on a rock, and her entire being transformed into a nimble afterimage, quickly returning to the peak of Mount Taibai.
Then, she directly rushed towards the heavily guarded conference room at the summit.
She knew very well that at this time, her Several Grandfathers must all be inside having a meeting; she would definitely find them there.
And at this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat heavy.
Li Zhanjun and the others were sitting around, looking at a document that had just been delivered by a secretary, their expressions all strange.
"Tsk, the White Eagle Federation is getting more and more arrogant lately."
Li Zhanjun squeezed the document, his fingers almost poking through the paper. "Are they really treating us like a soft persimmon that can be squeezed however they want?"
The document detailed a series of recent small actions by the White Eagle Federation.
The Great Xia's large-scale acquisition of medicinal materials worldwide had long been no secret.
Initially, various countries were quite puzzled by what Great Xia was up to, but no matter how they guessed, they couldn't figure out Great Xia's true purpose.
Great Xia's explanation for this was also vague; the official statement was that they were preparing to vigorously support the domestic pharmaceutical industry and strategically increase medicinal material reserves.
But those countries obviously wouldn't believe this excuse.
After all, even if they wanted to increase medicinal material reserves, it wouldn't be this aggressive, right?
Fortunately, Great Xia's purchase prices were very generous, falling into the category of "fools with money, come quickly," so many countries were happy to do business with Great Xia.
But recently, Great Xia's medicinal material transactions have encountered obstacles everywhere.
The reason was none other than the White Eagle Federation's intervention.
They also announced that they would collect medicinal materials on a large scale, and explicitly demanded that all their allies must unconditionally and without limit prioritize supplying them with medicinal materials.
Anyone who didn't obey would face a luxurious package of sanctions!
But the White Eagle Federation collecting medicinal materials was utterly useless; any clear-eyed person could see that this operation was purely to disgust Great Xia and deliberately cause trouble.
"What's most disgusting? After they intercepted our medicinal materials, they immediately raised the price a hundredfold and then hypocritically asked us if we wanted to import them!"
Recalling this, Liu Jianshe's beard bristled with anger.
"Good heavens, this move just made me laugh out of anger."
"Do they really think we're rich patsies?"
Li Zhanjun's face showed a distorted expression, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't, clearly indicating he was truly infuriated.
"It seems the White Eagle Federation doesn't know what we're doing."
Zhang Zhenghua carefully read the document and calmly analyzed, "They simply don't want anything we do to go too smoothly; they're deliberately coming over to be a troublemaker."
"But the problem is... this batch of medicinal materials is indeed very important to us, and their interference is truly making things difficult for us."
Zhang Zhenghua sighed, a hint of helplessness in his words.
"Then what should we do? We can't just grit our teeth and accept it, can we?"
Li Zhanjun slammed the table, his beard bristling and eyes wide. "Anyway, I can't swallow this insult!"
"Calm down! Regardless, Great Xia's medicinal material supply line must be guaranteed, and the advancement of the dao ancestor plan must not be halted because of this."
Qin Ming finally spoke at this point, his words resonating with an undeniable authority.
"As for the actions of the White Eagle Federation..."
He paused, and a chill began to seep into his calm tone: "Don't worry, whatever they took today, they will have to spit out double tomorrow!"
"Since they don't play by the rules, we don't need to be polite with them either."
"Effective immediately, all strategic resources exported to the White Eagle Federation are to be cut off! Not a single item is allowed to be sold!"
"We must let them know that Great Xia is no longer the soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will!"
"Right! That's exactly what we should do!" Li Zhanjun slapped his thigh, excitedly standing up.
"But that's not ruthless enough!"
"Immediately notify the military department to organize an unprecedented large-scale military exercise!"
"Bring out all those hidden, unseen national treasures and let them stretch their legs, get some sun!"
"I want the whole world to see just how hard Great Xia's muscles are now!"
"And save some clowns from jumping around, unable to distinguish the major players!"
When he said this, Li Zhanjun's tone was incredibly strong!
"This... won't this be a bit too aggressive?"
Hearing Li Zhanjun's words, filled with Killing Intent, Zhang Zhenghua, who was always steady and cautious, raised his concerns: "Our foundations should not be so casually exposed to public view."
"Old Zhang, what are you afraid of?"
Li Zhanjun glared at him. "You need to understand, the day our Great Xia's dao ancestor plan advances to the point of universal cultivation, we are bound to become a thorn in the side of all nations."
"At that time, do you really think those countries can still live in peace with us? Coexist peacefully?"
"So, instead of hiding, it's better to start showing our muscles now!"
"The stronger you are, the less they dare to act rashly! The more amiable you appear, the more they think you're easy to bully!"
"If anyone dares to try something, despite knowing the risks, then let them come! Our Great Xia will ensure they never return!"
The more Li Zhanjun spoke, the more excited he became, his entire being exuding a chilling Killing Intent.
"This... hmm, you're right."
"Fine, then let's do as you say."
Zhang Zhenghua pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.
He realized that although Old Li's words were rough, the reasoning was sound.
Even a Dragon, if it doesn't display its aggression, will have ants with no sense daring to climb on it and urinate.
To change this situation, one must display some majesty!
Just as the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became filled with Killing Intent, Lin Xiyue's figure bounced in.
"Several Grandfathers, guess what good thing I brought you?"
She poked her little head in, asking with a smile.
"Eh? Why are all your faces so stern? So serious."
"Haha, it's nothing, Girl Yue, you're here."
Seeing Lin Xiyue's bright and radiant smile, the four men's tense expressions instantly relaxed, and the heavy atmosphere vanished without a trace.
It was just a mere White Eagle Federation.
In the past, perhaps they would have needed to carefully consider its every move.
But for Great Xia, which had already embarked on the path of transcendence, it was merely a small pebble on the road ahead, not even a true opponent anymore.
Their primary task now was to spare no effort in promoting the dao ancestor plan, allowing Great Xia to quickly complete its qualitative transformation and truly soar!
"Is that so?"
Lin Xiyue looked at them suspiciously.
"Alright, if there's any trouble you can't solve, you can tell me directly. I'm a powerful Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator after all, solving some small troubles for you is easy peasy."
She puffed out her full little chest, looking very proud.
"Hmph, our Girl Yue is Great Xia's only national treasure, what kind of trivial matter would require you to personally intervene?"
"Don't worry, most things, the four of us can handle together."
"If we really encounter something we can't solve, we'll definitely ask for your help immediately."
Li Zhanjun laughed heartily, then changed the subject.
"By the way, Girl Yue, you just said you brought us something good?"
"What kind of treasure is it? Quickly show it to us old guys and let us feast our eyes."
As soon as he spoke, the other three also looked on eagerly.
Something that Girl Lin Xiyue specifically called a "good thing" must not be ordinary!
"Here, it's this!"
Under the expectant gaze of the four, Lin Xiyue extended her small hand and, with a "thwack," gently placed the treasure on the large mahogany table in the center of the conference room.
"Ah? A... green and moldy... brick?"
Li Zhanjun's eyes widened as he leaned closer to examine it, completely stunned on the spot.
"Hmph hmph, don't underestimate this brick, alright?"
Lin Xiyue put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "It can make our Great Xia suddenly have dozens more Qi Refining Realm Cultivators!"
"What?!"
These words caused a tremendous shock. The four, who had been bewildered, instantly stood up from their chairs in unison the moment they heard this, utterly dumbfounded.
