"Please sit." Seeing Tang Feng quietly watching her, Xue Mei wasn't embarrassed or angry because she was used to such stares daily.

Tang Feng's curiosity could only be felt as admiration.

Xue Mei wasn't a woman of unsurpassed beauty.

But she was undoubtedly pleasing to the eye.

She was the type of woman who, even though not extraordinary, kept your gaze on her.

She knew well how to leverage her advantages, this Tang Feng had already discerned.

"Have you seen enough?"

Xue Mei saw Tang Feng staring without blinking, and finally, she was somewhat displeased because, later on, Tang Feng's gaze had a hint of aggression, which naturally upset her.

If it weren't for her intention to collaborate with Tang Feng, she might have already acted.

"My apologies, Miss Xue, I was a bit curious about you, I meant no offense." Tang Feng was slightly embarrassed, as it was unusual for a woman to make him lose focus.

But now, Xue Mei had managed it.

Perhaps it was her scent, or maybe it was her status.

Regardless, it indicated that this woman was very alluring.

But for now, that was enough, she was not a woman he could currently touch.

She was definitely more powerful than a Divine Realm expert.

"May I know why Family Head Xue invited me here?" Tang Feng picked up the teacup, sipping lightly, the fragrance went smoothly down his throat, it was Dao Tea, and quite exquisite Dao Tea at that.

The other party's sincerity was clear.

This tea was probably not something just anyone could taste.

"Not bad, right!"

"Indeed, quite good, Family Head Xue has put thought into it, let's get straight to the point." Tang Feng said.

"I want to collaborate with you."

"Oh, how do we collaborate?"

"I want to open stores with you, expanding your model to other cities. I'll provide the funds, and we'll split the earnings fifty-fifty, how about it?" Xue Mei said.

"So you want to do business with me, that's fine, have your people find the locations, then inform me, and I'll send someone over to refurbish them, however, all funding will be your responsibility," Tang Feng stated.

"No problem, then let's sign a contract." Xue Mei took out a scroll and handed it to Tang Feng.

A few clauses were already inscribed on it.

Tang Feng glanced at it and signed his name.

Xue Mei didn't expect Tang Feng to agree so readily, a faint smile appeared on her face, "Here's to a happy collaboration."

"To a happy collaboration."

Afterwards, Tang Feng and Xue Mei chatted for a while, and it turned out that this woman had quite an eye, having gathered many precious herbs, most of which she had preserved despite using some.

This time she gave them all to Tang Feng.

Truly a gift, without accepting a penny.

Herbs were of little importance to Xue Mei; she would only use them if someone in the family fell ill, but because the Family Head's cultivation technique was so powerful, they were rarely used.

If herbs were used to exchange for medicine, but the results were poor, they would simply use Tao Crystals for cultivation instead.

So in the E-level Plane, Tao Crystals are the primary source of cultivation.

Herbs are merely supplementary.

As for the Blood Spirit Crystals, Tang Feng had yet to see any.

But that doesn't mean there weren't any, maybe something of a higher level existed, such as Blood God Crystals.

Tang Feng guessed correctly, Blood God Crystals did exist, but they were extremely rare, and all originated from the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Domain.

The last time they appeared was at the auction, where the price reached fifty billion Tao Crystals, was it worth it for a single fist-sized Blood God Crystal?

The answer was yes.

A single Blood God Crystal was enough for someone to be reborn, making them vastly superior to cultivators of the same realm, though unfortunately, there were too few Blood God Crystals.

Moreover, their origins were questionable.

Such an item would only be sent to auction for one reason.

The owner had no use for it.

What does it mean to have no use for it? It meant the owner's strength surpassed the Blood God Crystal's range of effect.

This meant they only put it out if it had no effect on them, otherwise, only a fool wouldn't use it.

As cultivators, even a slight improvement wouldn't be given up.

When Tang Feng left the Xue Family, he received an unexpected piece of news regarding Blood God Crystals that an auction would be occurring.

It seemed there would be one tomorrow, and when he returned home, Qian Wu handed Tang Feng an invitation from the auction house.

"Tomorrow at ten in the morning, who will accompany me, or shall everyone go?" Tang Feng asked.

"Sure, we'll all go."

"In the afternoon, I'll visit a few families, so I won't be with you, feel free to walk around if you're free." Tang Feng said.

"Got it, be careful, after all, we've only arrived recently." Linglong said.

"Rest assured, in this city I can still protect myself." Tang Feng was very confident, if he weren't, he wouldn't have survived this long.

After having lunch with the ladies, he set out again, visiting the various families and the City Lord Mansion one by one.

They were all cordial, some were trying to take advantage of him, but Tang Feng wouldn't have it and left immediately.

He then placed a few families on the Tang Family's no-visit list.

For not knowing their place, how could they let him go, so they conspired to cause trouble.

They were cunning, causing no fights or disturbances, they simply blocked the entrance, no cultivators could enter unless it was a family like the Xue Family, otherwise ordinary cultivators should head elsewhere.

Tang Feng was unaware of their actions at that time, as he was constructing a Random Transmission Array outside the city.

To be safe, he was extra cautious.

After all, it's impossible to get along with all the families in the city.

Humans should always leave a way out for themselves; you never know when it might come in handy.

After setting several in place, Tang Feng headed home.

It was evening as the city lights began to illuminate the night.

In the entire city, the Tang Building stood out the most.

Bright as day, many cultivators came and went at restaurants, though fewer than the day before.

Tang Feng sensed something amiss when he returned.

He didn't expect the opposition's speed to be so swift, and these families were ruthless. Since they couldn't negotiate, they acted without even pretending.

If that's so, they shouldn't blame him for not being polite.

A single thought, the Formation activated, and before those people knew what was happening, the scene changed, and they found themselves surrounded by Heavenly Divine Beasts.

"Kill!"

They were well-trained, and even though there was some fear, the situation called for a fight, hesitating would be a worse choice than attacking directly.

As for their chances of winning, of course, it was impossible.

The power of this Formation was that it mirrored the opponents' strength.

Over time, the conjured Heavenly Divine Beasts experienced no depletion or casualties, whereas the family elites suffered considerable wear, eventually falling.

Tang Feng chose not to kill them, and by the time he finished dinner, they were all knocked out.

He easily branded a Slave Mark deep in their souls.

Now they all belonged to Tang Feng.

Once they awoke, they dispersed and guarded around the building.

Anyone unaware might think the family elites were preparing to take action against Tang Feng.

But it soon became clear they were mistaken, as these individuals no longer prevented cultivators from entering, and the restaurant's business improved once again.

The cinema remained packed,

with every show sold out.

Every day, countless Tao Crystals flowed into Tang Feng's pockets endlessly.

And the families waiting for news learned the expected turnaround in family business hadn't transpired, leaving them in bad spirits.
