Martial Master

In the Da Wei Dynasty, Liangzhou.

In a highly private tea house.

A manager from the Leng family was seated with several middle-aged men.

“Master Li, the price you offered is just too high. Our Leng family is under a lot of pressure as well. Why not give us a favor and lower it a bit?”

The manager of the Leng family said with a苦笑 expression.

The other party was indeed the Li family, a family that possessed a large quantity of Fenglan Grass in Liangzhou.

“Manager Leng Qingfeng, I truly apologize. You know, our Li family has been secretly acquiring this Fenglan Grass, risking a lot, even offending the Alchemy Pavilion. We've put in quite a bit of effort. Honestly, this price is not expensive,” the man referred to as the head of the Li family shook his head and said.

“Master Li, I understand that, but currently in the market, a pound of Fenglan Grass is only two medium-grade true stones, and you are directly asking for four. This price is indeed a bit high.”

Leng Qingfeng pleaded desperately, feeling very frustrated in his heart.

As a manager of the Leng family, when did he ever suffer such humiliation? He had to lower his voice when dealing with a small family in a state.

“Manager Leng, you can't say that. Half a month ago, how much was a pound of Fenglan Grass worth? It was probably only about ten low-grade true stones. But now, times have changed. The acquisition cost for our Li family is quite high. We’ve mortgaged all our family shops and taken out all our savings to acquire eighty thousand pounds of Fenglan Grass. If we don't sell it for a better price, our Li family will go bankrupt in no time. Manager Leng, you must understand our difficulties.”

The head of the Li family sighed, as if he was the one suffering.

This made Leng Qingfeng so furious that he wished he could slap the person to death.

But he didn't dare to.

Eighty thousand pounds of Fenglan Grass was a huge transaction. If he killed a member of the Li family, the news would certainly return to his own family, and he would probably face the fate of being slapped to death by the ancestor.

“However, this price is just too high. How about you lower it a bit, Master Li?”

Leng Qingfeng still felt unwilling.

“Clatter!”

Unexpectedly, several people from the Li family stood up directly.

“It seems Manager Leng is still unhappy with the price we offered. In that case, let's forget it. We'll go to the Alchemy Pavilion and see if they are willing to accept our offer. If no one can accept, we can reconsider in a few days. Manager Leng, in business, it’s about mutual agreement. We can't force you to buy if you're not willing. We Li family are also business people, and such things can't be done. Goodbye.”

With a wave, the head of the Li family led his men and was about to leave.

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t go!”

Seeing that they were truly about to leave, Leng Qingfeng panicked. “Forget it, forget it. Four medium-grade true stones per pound, just four medium-grade true stones per pound. We, the Leng family, will take all eighty thousand pounds. This can also be considered as making a friend with Master Li.”

With a苦脸 expression, Leng Qingfeng said, his heart aching as if it were bleeding.

In the transaction, he quickly took out three hundred and twenty thousand medium-grade true stones, and in return, there were now eighty thousand pounds of Fenglan Grass in his storage ring.

“Manager Leng is indeed generous. If there's a chance in the future, let’s collaborate again.”

After the transaction was completed, the head of the Li family quickly left the tea house with his subordinates.

“Collaborate again? Once my Leng family crushes the Alchemy Pavilion, you all better be prepared for bad luck. I want all those three hundred and twenty thousand medium-grade true stones from you, Li family, without a single piece left.”

Watching the head of the Li family leave, Leng Qingfeng's gaze turned fierce, like a viper, as he gritted his teeth in anger.

“However, at least I've completed the task assigned by the ancestor.”
