Chapter 571: Chapter 570: A Place of Spiritual Beauty
Late at night, in a suite at the most luxurious hotel in Bear Mountain City, Mr. Jingshang did not rest and lay on the bed waiting.
Finally, a knock on the door resonated.
Mr. Jingshang hurried to open the door, only to see a superstar whose appearance and demeanor scored over ninety-five standing outside.
After letting the person into the room, Mr. Jingshang closed the door and could not wait to ask, "What did he say?"
"Rest assured, Mr. Jingshang. He said that tomorrow, whether that woman agrees to sign or not, the land will be transferred to Zhu Corporation. There won’t be any issues," the woman said.
Her name was Yakai Hama, a top-tier superstar of the new generation in the entertainment industry of Japan, with several hit songs popular in Japan and Korea. Her acting skills were also on point, making her a true talent and popular star.
Mr. Jingshang spoke sternly, "No, we must make that woman sign the contract. That’s the safest and most proper way. Otherwise, if Sun Chaoyi is no longer here, others can overturn this decision at any time, leading to endless troubles."
Yakai Hama quickly said, "Don’t worry. Tomorrow, he will definitely make that woman sign the contract to give up the land you are interested in. Aren’t you aware of the situation in Divine Continent Country? Here, the government has the final say, personal and family influence can’t compete."
Mr. Jingshang nodded upon hearing this and smiled, "Yes, the common people here dare not defy the government’s orders."
As he spoke, his gaze landed on Yakai Hama. A sleazy and perverse expression appeared on his face as he leaned in closer to sniff her, asking, "Have you washed?"
Blushing, Yakai Hama’s eyes flickered with deep disgust and disdain as she lowered her head and whispered softly, "Knowing what you like, I came here right after he fell asleep, without washing."
"So good..."
Mr. Jingshang rubbed his hands together, visibly excited as he led Yakai Hama towards the bed.
...
In the same hotel, Tong Yunshu had opened a VIP room where she did not sleep but sat cross-legged on the bed, diligently cultivating.
Ever since inheriting the Great Yellow Court from Third Grandpa, she felt that her mind was filled with many things, especially after dual cultivating with Yang Fei last time and Yang Fei sharing with her the method of nourishing divine soul power, she felt she had reached a new level of understanding of the Great Yellow Court.
Although Yang Fei was not with her now to cultivate together, the room was still enveloped by mist-like power elements.
Yang Fei had mentioned such phenomena before, but she had not noticed any difference from before until her recent cultivation sessions, when Tong Yunshu realized that the True Qi inside her body seemed smoother and purer than before.
This was a very mysterious feeling. She was not formerly a martial artist and did not understand the differences in True Qi.
However, one thing was certain: she felt her perception of the True Qi inside her body becoming more precise.
She also felt her perception of her surroundings intensifying. For example, whenever she wished, she found she could perceive everything within a hundred meters unimpeded.
At three in the morning, Tong Yunshu suddenly opened her eyes.
Had she made another breakthrough?
Although her cultivation journey was short, she had some understanding of the Martial Arts Realm and knew that advancing in the Energy Transformation Realm was challenging.
But since she entered the Energy Transformation Realm, she had never really felt any barrier, as if the advancements were happening so subtly and naturally.
By standards, she was now at the Energy Transformation Seventh Rank and could be considered a grandmaster, right?
The corners of Tong Yunshu’s mouth lifted slightly as she couldn’t help but mutter to herself, "Being an Energy Transformation Grandmaster isn’t so hard after all."
She would surely surprise Yang Fei at their next meeting.
Gradually refocusing her mind, Tong Yunshu slightly furrowed her brows.
As a prominent young figure in the Binhai business world, she was well-known. She had met Sun Weimin before, and after Yang Fei had issues with the Situ family, she had met with Sun Weimin again. Her relationship with him seemed to have grown closer due to Yang Fei.
Considering Sun Chaoyi’s attitude, Tong Yunshu hesitated whether to inform Sun Weimin about the Tong Family’s current situation, but after much deliberation, she decided against it.
She had heard that Sun Weimin’s relationship with the Sun Family wasn’t great, and if Sun Chaoyi dealt with the matter according to the agreement, there was no need to trouble Sun Weimin.
Early the next morning, Tong Yunshu received a call from Tong Jinchuan. He said Sun Chaoyi had an important meeting in the morning and that Mr. Jingshang had arranged for a helicopter in the afternoon to take him to the site where they could overlook the new land allocated to the Tong Family from the air.
Tong Yunshu slightly furrowed her brows and said, "Is Jingshang Chuner going with us as well?"
"Yes," Tong Jinchuan replied.
Tong Yunshu said, "I said yesterday that I don’t like the Japanese. Our visit to the new site is a matter between us and the city government, so why does Jingshang Chuner need to follow us?"
"Well..." Tong Jinchuan found himself at a loss for words, "Sun Chaoyi insists on bringing this Japanese along, and I... I didn’t know what else to say."
It seemed to make sense.
He had already warned Sun Chaoyi earlier, subtly mentioning that Tong Yunshu did not like Jingshang Chuner, meaning that he shouldn’t bring him along. Yet Sun Chaoyi didn’t take it to heart and insisted on having Jingshang Chuner provide a helicopter to go together.
"Let’s just go together then," Tong Yunshu said, hearing the difficulty in Tong Jinchuan’s voice.
Elsewhere, Yang Fei and Hu Lizhong had left the hotel early in the morning and headed straight for the Bear Mountain area.
Bear Mountain, also known as Shennongjia, is famous for the legend of the Flame Emperor Shennong testing various herbs here to cure diseases, and it is one of the most mysteriously revered primordial forests in the Divine Continent.
Hu Lizhong, a local from Jiangbei County, also had some influence in Bear Mountain City, and with a single phone call, someone sent a Land Cruiser over.
Hu Lizhong drove, and the two delved deeper into the heart of Bear Mountain.
Initially, the roads were decent, and they could see many high-standard fields on both sides. But the deeper they went, the fewer crops there were, with more land being used to grow herbs instead.
"This is truly a great place," Yang Fei noted, sensing the abundance of active power elements in the air deep within the dense forest, which were much more than outside. They had already traveled hundreds of miles into the forest.
Hu Lizhong nodded and said, "Yes, the air quality in this kind of place is much better than in the city. Little Brother Yang, are you here to find some herbs?"
Until now, he still didn’t know what Yang Fei’s purpose was in coming out here, but now, entering Bear Mountain and considering the laboratory’s situation, he made a bold guess.
Maybe he needed some precious medicinal material.
After all, he had heard of Yang Fei’s incredible medical skills, including curing Zhu Tianshou, so it was not surprising that Yang Fei was knowledgeable about herbs.
"Not looking for herbs, but for a place," Yang Fei said.
Hu Lizhong was startled. Looking for a place?
Yang Fei smiled at him and said, "The genetic liquid medicine cannot complete the final step of synthesis; it lacks an innate condition, ’Spiritual Energy’."
Hu Lizhong exclaimed, "Spiritual Energy?"
"Yes, Spiritual Energy. You should know it exists," Yang Fei said.
Hu Lizhong nodded and said, "Mm, the air with higher quality contains more active power, which is more beneficial to the human body; that must be what is referred to as Spiritual Energy."
Yang Fei laughed and said, "Hahaha, right, your explanation is the clearest."
As they were talking, the view suddenly opened up ahead. They had climbed to the top of a high peak. The road was right on the edge of a cliff, and to the right, below the cliff, was a vast valley, surrounded by mist, with the sun still reflecting off it, creating a dazzling brilliance and a hint of purple aura swirling about.
"Oh!"
Yang Fei’s face lit up with joy, and he got out of the car.
He originally thought he would need to go deeper into the forest and perhaps walk for a long time to find a suitable place, but it now seemed that Bear Mountain was truly comparable to the Hidden Sect World, with an astonishing concentration of Spiritual Energy. They had found something after just over three hundred miles into the forest.
The two got out of the car and stood on the cliff edge, looking down to see a vast basin through the clouds swirling among the mountains. The basin was filled with vibrant purple and red flowers, and a strong medicinal scent wafted up.
At the edge of the basin, there were even a few small houses.
A winding mountain road stretched down into the valley.
What a spiritual paradise!
"Is this a medicinal herb planting base?" Yang Fei was slightly surprised, and then he nodded and said, "Indeed, it’s a great place for planting medicinal herbs. Let’s go and check it out."
