Chapter 1086: Chapter 1086: There’s Always Someone Who Can’t Hold Back

Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Feng Jun said — if it’s not convenient to buy domestically, then I’ll go abroad to purchase.

But Elder Yu did not see it that way, "Domestic firearms transactions are prohibited; would you also go abroad to buy guns?"

Feng Jun smiled, "Is it not okay if I buy guns abroad? Wouldn’t it be fine as long as I don’t bring them back to China?"

His words were confident and justified. After all, his lithium batteries were indeed not meant to be brought into China, so he shouldn’t have to suffer this injustice.

Elder Yu sighed, "The problem is, we do have these batteries domestically, and you are a Huaxia Citizen... don’t you want to support domestic products?"

There we go again! Feng Jun truly disliked this, but what he loathed was moral coercion, not forgetting his original intentions. The words ’Huaxia Citizen’ were something he could never forget.

He expressed himself very clearly, "I am also very willing to support domestic products; it’s you who won’t let me off the hook. Would it kill you to stop the surveillance for a while?"

This time, Elder Yu’s words changed, "My people will no longer keep an eye on you... unless there is evidence that your items are being used inappropriately."

Feng Jun, who graduated with a degree in Chinese literature, was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, "You mean... you won’t inquire after this?"

"No more inquiries," Elder Yu stated bluntly, "However, if I find out that you’re causing trouble in China... This old man has lived long enough and is not afraid of death."

Feng Jun took a deep breath. If you stop making trouble for me, how much trouble could I save?

Speaking of the purchase of lithium batteries, Zhang Caixin had looked into it, and if Luohua hadn’t been targeted, the process would have been quite smooth.

In general, bulk purchasing lithium batteries is certainly not appropriate and must be regulated — which means Zhengyang’s approach to fire safety is definitely correct.

However, that’s just the conventional wisdom. If one really wants to find a workaround, there are too many strategies one could employ, but there’s no need to delve into the details.

In any case, once the purchase of lithium batteries is complete, Feng Jun won’t have any pressing work on Earth for the time being.

At the same time, the training is also coming to an end, involving seven people this time and extending over a period of forty-five days.

At the end, Feng Jun used the Demon-Sealing Pagoda to collect these individuals while Shen Qingyi watched from not far with a complicated expression.

Once an item of Kunlun, now in his hands, capable of taking in seven people, it truly filled her with emotion.

Feng Jun paid her no mind but turned to find Feng Jing, as her Spatial Ability was needed once more.

Sister Hong had also been paying close attention to the progress of these matters, feeling that they were about to leave, she quietly approached, wanting to follow along.

Feng Jun explained with a wry smile, "She can’t stay there long this time either, why bother joining the bustle?"

How would I know if she stayed long or not? Sister Hong must have her doubts, since time here is suspended.

So she voiced her question, "Why can’t she stay longer?"

"This is for both your sakes," Feng Jun had to explain again, "These seven people vanished along with you, and will reappear with you. If someone suspects you two and wants to discover my secrets..."

"Got it," both Sister Hong and Feng Jing nodded in unison; they are not fools after all.

Feng Jun borrowed Feng Jing’s power to bring the people to Mount Zhige, handed them over to Tiantong, then brought Feng Jing back with him — there are still three experts that need to be sent back.

After all these tasks, Feng Jun wanted to stay in the manor for a while longer, but was driven by Feng Jing and Sister Hong to the Mobile Phone Plane — hurry over to kill time there; we are waiting to go for Cultivation.

Both of them can cultivate on the Earth Plane, but they also care about saving face.

Feng Jun went to Mount Zhige. Since the seasons on both sides were almost in sync, it was also starting to enter early summer here.

Huang Fu Flawless had already sent the seven people away, the installation of the equipment for the Pine Cypress Peak Yan Family was nearing its end, and a large group of people had arrived, purchasing summer supplies — apart from Dew Fragrance Water, it was air conditioners and refrigerators.

One day, a senior executive from Tiantong Headquarters sent someone to inquire if they could place a bulk order with Mount Zhige for a batch of refrigerators, air conditioners, and some Boiler Camel Motorcycles.

The visitor did not hide his affiliation; he was a man of President Jiang, the one in charge of transactions with the Yinsha Sect.

The cause and effect were laid out there. With President Jiang’s status, there was no need to conduct affairs covertly.

Huang Fu Flawless starkly refused, "If it is the Yinsha Sect that needs them, they should negotiate with Mountain Master Feng. If not, Mountain Master Feng would also require an explanation for such a large purchase from me."

The newcomer was also a High-Tier Qi Refinement cultivator. Although he couldn’t stand on his own in Tiantong, he was still able to communicate on equal terms due to his close relationship with President Jiang. He expressed his dissatisfaction, "Master Bai Li has returned and spoke quite disparagingly of Mountain Master Feng. Now the Yinsha Sect does not wish to trade with him, and President Jiang hopes to resolve this matter properly, especially since summer is approaching."

"That’s impossible," Huang Fu Flawless answered decisively, "I’m well aware of Mountain Master Feng’s character. Once he has made a decision, it is rarely possible for others to change it...There’s no need for me to try either; even Master Busheng cannot forcefully invite him to the Heavenly Heart Platform."

The visitor was taken aback, felt her determination, and did not try to persuade further, instead he sighed softly, "Sigh, this is going to be difficult... Do you happen to know the agreement that Mountain Master Feng and Master You Long have reached?"

Huang Fu Flawless’s expression darkened, "What do you mean by that? How could I possibly be privy to the conversations between masters?"

The Cultivation World clearly delineates its hierarchy. For independent cultivators like Feng Jun, Tianxin didn’t take them seriously during the initial and intermediate stages of Qi Refining, but upon reaching the status of a master, they gained the capital to be taken seriously.

Not only has Feng Jun become a master now, but he has also established his own turf on Mount Zhige. His trade is not small, and he has a group of Combat Cultivators who rely on him to provide for their livelihood, creating significant karmic ties with other powers.

Under such circumstances, Tiantong has to take into consideration his feelings when dealing with him.

After some thought, the visitor continued, "I mean no offense. The key issue is that there are already rumors within the Yinsha Sect..."

It was already widely known among the disciples of the Yinsha Sect that the sect plans to purchase a batch of refrigerators and air conditioners.

In the past, no one cared about this, not because they weren’t affected, but rather... cultivation is a tedious and difficult task, if there are no conditions, then one must endure.

But now things are different. If someone can provide comfortable conditions, why not accept it?

Especially for those cultivators living around Netherworld Mountain, they have an even stronger need for this. Every summer, they have to enter underground cultivation rooms or construct ice chambers to allow themselves to practice comfortably during the hot summer.

Even some wealthier disciples couldn’t wait for the sect to "distribute benefits" and directly had someone purchase Boiler Camel Motorcycles and electrical appliances for them. Among these, refrigerators are one thing, but air conditioners are an absolute must.

Once these items were brought back, the effect was immediate and notable, and the news spread quickly.

In the Yinsha Sect, there are more disciples with financial difficulties; like anywhere else, the rich are always a minority. Although they are much stronger than mortals, since the sect decided to distribute benefits, it’s best to just wait.

From time to time, someone would inquire in the sect about when the benefits would arrive. Asked too often, some even voiced their complaints, "It’s just some mundane items that don’t even require Spirit Stones to buy, why is the sect dragging its feet?"

Some retorted sarcastically, "If you can’t wait, you can buy them yourself. They don’t require Spirit Stones. Do you really think the sect owes you?"

"You are the one using Gold to buy things, your entire family uses Gold! Do I have such things in my possession?"

With such constant bickering every day, the person in charge was also somewhat overwhelmed. Eventually, it even attracted the attention of the higher-ups in the sect.

The higher-ups’ intention was also very clear: since they are mundane items, then purchase them at a reasonable price. Not only core territory disciples should be considered the Yinsha Disciples, but also those living on the outskirts are the wealth of the sect.

While the other side was feeling a headache, they asked President Jiang for a favor – can we buy it from Tianxin? Would that work?

The intent of the visitor was to subtly pressure Huang Fu Flawless to exert some influence on Feng Jun – after all, the Huang Fu Family has a Golden Core Ancestor.

However, Chairman Huang Fu refused categorically, "Exerting pressure... Let’s not talk about whether he would accept it or not, I want to ask a question – if he gets angry and refuses to sell perfume to Tiantong, who will bear the responsibility?"

The sender was left speechless; the high-grade perfumes from Mount Zhige are extremely popular in the Cultivation World. Although their price is not too high, the supply is tight, and often as soon as they hit the shelves, they’re sold out instantly.

Tiantong Commercial Alliance doesn’t make a huge profit from perfumes – about a hundred thousand Spirit Stones a year – but having such an almost monopolized resource in hand allows them to exchange it for other benefits.

Therefore, the significance of perfume to Tiantong is immensely great. If Huang Fu Flawless loses such a source of goods, the consequences need not be said – at the very least, it would be a stain on her reputation.

The visitor also understood the importance of the perfume, but after hesitating, he still stammered, "Since you’ve decided to exert pressure on him, why not include the perfume as well? Have him stop supplying perfume to those Loose Cultivators as well?"

Huang Fu Flawless became furious upon hearing this, "Don’t take an inch and want a mile! I am currently in charge of this matter, how could I always rely on others? With your qualifications, you can’t even order a master around... Do you really think I can’t handle you?"

This suggestion was really an insult to a Golden Core Master. Even if it was just for show, it couldn’t possibly happen. Ancestor Huang Fu is a shareholder of Tiantong, not a hitman who comes and goes at Tiantong’s beck and call.

The individual realized he had misspoken and after repeatedly apologizing, he turned to leave, "Then I will report back truthfully."

"Whatever you like," Huang Fu Flawless replied with indifference, "I hope you will answer truthfully, but if you are dishonest, I don’t care."

After a pause, she added coldly, "Let me give you a piece of advice, don’t provoke me. You can imagine... If I really wanted to kill you, could that Jiang surname stop me?"
