26: Chapter 26: Inspecting the Goods in Public, a Slap in the Face

Zhao Mingyue shouted at the top of his lungs, even deliberately stimulating the fire-element magic power of his Qi Refining Stage 7 within his body, as a scorching pressure surged down the street, fearful that the people around wouldn't hear him.

The Grand Elder's face sank instantly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

Just as he was about to step forward to retort, Li Qingfeng raised his hand to stop the old man.

Li Qingfeng casually circulated the Evergreen Spirit Transformation Art, and a layer of pale cyan Protective Aura flashed across his body before vanishing, instantly dissipating that wave of heat without a trace.

Dealing with a guy who likes to bark like a dog, arguing is the most useless thing; slapping his face directly with facts is what's truly satisfying.

Li Qingfeng didn't pay any attention to Zhao Mingyue at all, his gaze shifting casually to the Wang Family team standing not far away, watching the show.

The one leading the team was none other than the Wang Family Prodigy, Wang Qingluan.

This woman was wearing a navy blue, high-slit, form-fitting martial outfit today, the fabric clinging tightly to her body, perfectly outlining her figure that was jaw-droppingly hot.

The curves of her round, perky buttocks formed an exaggerated proportion with her extremely slender water-snake waist.

The most lethal part was the pair of long, straight, beautiful legs exposed beneath the hem of her skirt; they were blindingly white, with well-proportioned, firm muscle definition, and she wore a pair of over-the-knee black boots, exuding an untamable, wild energy.

She crossed her arms over her chest, and her two full, ample mounds were squeezed into a deep, bottomless cleavage; even just standing still, that kind of feminine allure drilled straight into people's eyes.

Yet, her face wore an expression of cold, arrogant aloofness, as if no one could approach her; this extreme contrast made her a natural-born seductress.

Li Qingfeng couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart; this Wang Family Young Miss really had long legs. If anyone were lucky enough to take her into their bedroom in the future, just being wrapped around by those long legs at night would probably leave them with a sore back and unable to get out of bed.

Su Qingyue is gentle, soft water, while this Wang Qingluan is a raging fire; each has her own charm.

Having seen enough of the beauty, Li Qingfeng turned his head back, looked at Zhao Mingyue's punchable face, chuckled, and said, "The Spiritual Plants of my Li Family are doing just fine, so there is no need for Young Master Zhao to worry about it. Put down the Storage Pouch and open it in public!"

Several Li Family guards deftly untied the Storage Pouch, and several large basins of freshly dug low-grade Spiritual Plants were neatly placed on the bluestone slab.

As soon as the bag was opened, a rich medicinal fragrance instantly spread through the air.

The leaves of those Spiritual Plants were lush and dripping with green, spiritual light flowing over them, and their roots were spread out extremely robustly, their vitality so vigorous that it simply couldn't be hidden.

This quality, let alone having any problems, would be considered top-tier goods even on a normal day, looking much more vibrant than on the day of the field inspection a few days ago.

The various Cultivators watching the excitement all around let out a burst of exclamations.

The arrogance on Zhao Mingyue's face froze instantly, his expression uglier than if he had swallowed a fly alive.

He widened his eyes, staring fixedly at those Spiritual Plants, his lips trembling, unable to squeeze out a single word for a long time.

Hearing the commotion, the Qingyun Sect Outer Sect Deacon, Steward Xu Wenshan, walked out from the branch.

He directly ignored the Zhao Family members, squatted down, personally reached out to pluck a leaf of a Spiritual Plant, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and then used his fingertips to probe the flow of Spiritual Qi at the roots.

Steward Xu Wenshan nodded repeatedly and said with great appreciation, "The medicinal properties are sufficient, the vitality is extremely pure, and the quality is excellent. This batch of goods from the Li Family far exceeds the minimum standard for the trial period. This delivery is very qualified!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone from the Li Family breathed a sigh of relief, and the Grand Elder was so happy that his beard even curled up.

Just at this moment, that familiar blue panel in Li Qingfeng's mind popped up with a "ding" sound.

[Detected that the host successfully handled the sudden crisis, preserved the Family supply line, and passed the Qingyun Sect assessment successfully.]

[Family industry Luck has increased significantly.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a phase reward: one chance for "Spiritual Field Overall Planning Deduction".]

[Function Description: This deduction function is precious. The host can construct a virtual Spiritual Field sand table in their mind, and the System will automatically calculate the optimal blending ratio of soil water and wood attributes, intercropping plans for different types of Spirit Medicine, and the minimum consumption route for spiritual liquid.]

Looking at this long passage of text, Li Qingfeng was absolutely overjoyed.

This System really delivers at just the right time every time.

He was just worrying about how to expand the Family's Spiritual Field business next; with this deduction function, he could eat up the fat meat of spiritual planting with his eyes closed.

These are all massive Family assets that can be left directly to Su Qingyue and future descendants.

Putting aside his thoughts, Li Qingfeng struck while the iron was hot.

He took a crumpled receipt from his bosom, stepped forward two paces, and handed it directly to Steward Xu Wenshan.

"Deacon Xu, it was truly not easy for my Li Family to deliver this batch of goods on time."

Li Qingfeng's tone was calm, but every word was laced with thorns, "A few nights ago, someone snuck outside my Li Family's Spiritual Field in the middle of the night and scattered a large handful of Kuling Powder. Fortunately, we discovered it early and rescued them overnight, which is why we didn't delay the Qingyun Sect's errand. This receipt was searched from the body of the Loose Cultivator we caught, and the Zhao Family market seal on it is very clear."

Once these words were thrown out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Poisoning to destroy Spiritual Plants is a major taboo among cultivation families.

The Zhao Family Elder was so anxious he was stomping his feet, stepping forward with a sweaty forehead to defend himself, "Deacon Xu, please discern the truth! This must be the medicinal powder that Loose Cultivator bought indiscriminately, or someone intentionally framed us! It absolutely has nothing to do with our Zhao Family main line!"

Steward Xu Wenshan's expression sank, his gaze sweeping over the Zhao Family members.

He was a smart man, and his heart was as clear as a mirror.

Although he couldn't pin the Zhao Family down with just one receipt, he had to knock some sense into these blind things.

Steward Xu Wenshan gave a heavy snort, "Whether it's framing or fact, I know in my heart. I'll put it this way today: during the trial supply period, if anyone dares to use these low-class methods in the dark to break the rules again, a heavy mark will be recorded in the Qingyun Sect's book! If you really anger the Sect, bear the consequences yourself!"

The Zhao Family Elder was scolded until he shrank his neck, not daring to let out a fart.

Zhao Mingyue was even more furious, trembling all over, his eyes bloodshot, looking like a defeated stray dog, yet he could only glare in frustration.

After knocking the Zhao Family down, Steward Xu Wenshan turned around and put on a smiling face, saying to the Grand Elder, "The Li Family handled things very steadily this time and did not fail the Sect's expectations. Since your production is up, the Qingyun Sect will increase your supply quota for next month by another twenty percent! Additionally, you are allowed to prioritize using this batch of Spiritual Plants to exchange for a batch of low-grade Qi Condensation pills at the Outer Sect warehouse, as compensation for your fright this time."

The Grand Elder was so excited that he repeatedly cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Deacon Xu, for your support! The Li Family will definitely do our best!"

Li Qingfeng was also secretly pleased when he heard this.

The quota increase meant a continuous stream of Spirit Stone income, and that batch of low-grade Qi Condensation pills was like providing fuel in snowy weather.

He had already planned in his heart that once he took this batch of Medicinal Pills back, he would distribute a portion to the clansmen working to improve their cultivation, and he planned to take the remaining bulk back to the New Courtyard.

Su Qingyue is at the time to nourish her body, so even if she ate the Medicinal Pills like candies, he wouldn't feel a pinch.

Wang Qingluan, standing in the distance, watched this good show from beginning to end.

Her beautiful peach-blossom eyes were full of interest, her red lips slightly parted, gently biting her white teeth.

She originally thought Li Qingfeng was just a Cultivator who could show off on the arena, but looking at him today, this man was very composed; he hid his sharpness when he should be low-key, and struck with a fatal blow when he should counterattack.

This kind of scheming and means were far superior to those idiots in Qingshi Town who only knew how to fight with fists and kill until their eyes were red.

Wang Qingluan's beautiful eyes swirled, and her gaze met Li Qingfeng's generously.

She didn't dodge; instead, she actively raised her beautiful eyebrows, and that cold, pretty face added a bit of an itch-inducing charm.

Her evaluation of Li Qingfeng was now raised by a large tier, and she secretly pondered that the Wang Family must interact more with the Li Family in the future.

Li Qingfeng also smiled at her frankly, his eyes sweeping over her hot figure, before he withdrew his gaze.

Both sides were silent, but each kept the other in mind.

After finishing the delivery, the Li Family members walked out of the gate of the Qingyun Branch with their heads held high, each standing with their backs straight.

Li Qingfeng followed the Grand Elder, preparing to discuss how to distribute the batch of Medicinal Pills upon returning.

Just as they reached the street corner, a Li Family guard responsible for guarding the New Courtyard came running wildly from a distance, covered in sweat.

He didn't even have time to catch his breath, shouting from far away, "Young Master Qingfeng! Grand Elder! Hurry back to the New Courtyard! There is a big movement on Lady Qingyue's side!"

Li Qingfeng's heart jumped violently, his whole body's blood heating up, and he immediately used his movement technique, turning into an afterimage as he flew forward.

This was his biggest trump card for establishing himself; the System's most core feedback was finally coming!
