Chapter 61: Chapter 59: Fumen Breeding Farm
Mr. Su spent nearly ten days in the wild.
Every day, besides practicing the Body Worm Focusing Method, he would enter Insect Valley to capture various types of poison insects and snakes, all of which were of the lowest grade.
Beyond these two activities, Mr. Su also wreaked havoc on the trees in the forests near Ghost Ridge Palace.
Whenever he found some valuable trees, he would use the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword to chop down these ancient trees that were unremarkable in the Tianyuan World but highly valued on Blue Star, some of which had grown for hundreds or thousands of years.
It was not until ten days had passed that Mr. Su, with a good number of poison insects in his Insect Control Bag, finally ended this busy lifestyle and headed back to the Black Market.
….
Taixu Pavilion.
Cai Chun’e looked at the weary Mr. Su as he took out a pile of miscellaneous materials—including raw materials related to cultivation such as Shattered Purple Silver, Ghost Spring Grass, golden crown flowers, and various minerals and medicinal herbs, as well as some finished low-grade elixirs and talismans.
On some of the materials, Cai Chun’e even noticed traces of blood, which sent a silent shock through her heart, guessing the origin of these materials.
Given that Mr. Su had returned here unharmed, those who were pursuing him had likely become the Dead Souls under this man’s sword, and the spoils of battle must be these traded materials.
“You want to sell them all?”
Cai Chun’e asked Mr. Su. Taixu Pavilion conducted business in talismans and Magic Artifacts and naturally accepted disciples’ sales.
“Sell them all, I want to buy your Qiankun Xuanbing Formation Diagram, but I’m a little short on funds.”
Mr. Su piled these spoils in front of Cai Chun’e and stated with certainty.
“The Qiankun Xuanbing Formation Diagram, you want to buy this?”
Cai Chun’e was slightly taken aback. The Qiankun Xuanbing Formation Diagram was a type of one-time, portable array that Artifact Refiners and Array Masters cooperated to infuse into a Magic Artifact.
These Array Maps are generally used in places like caves, spirit fields, and mines, crucial locations where, as long as Blood Marrow Crystals are provided, the Array Map can exert its enemy-repelling and defensive capabilities.
Since this product is for one-time use and cannot be moved once it’s been deployed,
and considering the high cost, very few disciples would purchase it.
After all, there is no need for such things in Ghost Ridge Palace, and typically, only certain cultivation powers would buy such items. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mr. Su raised an eyebrow and said, “What, do you have business you don’t do? Then I’ll go to another place to buy the Array Map.”
Cai Chun’e quickly grasped Mr. Su’s arm and said with a coy smile, “Not at all, Missy is just a little surprised. Mr. Su, please wait a moment; I will give you an estimate right away.”
Ten minutes later, Mr. Su and Cai Chun’e struck a deal. The battle spoils were sold for a total of 635 Blood Marrow Crystals. Adding to the Blood Marrow Crystals Mr. Su already had, he spent them all, expending over a thousand to successfully purchase a complete set of Qiankun Xuanbing Formation Diagrams.
After completing the transaction, Mr. Su turned and left Taixu Pavilion, vanishing into the forest.
In a deserted area, he quietly opened the Ancient Mirror and returned to the Blue Star World, also bringing back with him the large quantity of timber he had chopped down.
….
Blue Star, Chan Country, Mande City.
In the suburbs of the city, a gigantic insect breeding farm with dozens of breeding factories and over a thousand employees covered a vast area.
At the entrance of the farm, the glittering words “Jieke Fumen Breeding Farm” shone brightly.
The employees who worked in and out of the breeding farm all beamed with ruddy complexions, brimming with vitality.
Simply because they had joined Jieke Company, as official staff members, their monthly salary and status were the envy of others.
Beep beep!
A fleet of several luxury cars drove up the newly built tar road, and the standing guard carrying an AK courteously stopped the convoy.
Jieke Security was responsible for this super-large insect breeding farm, and besides the stationed guards and patrolling security, the entire factory also implemented strict access control measures, with many areas requiring credentials and fingerprints for entry.
To defend this insect breeding farm, there was also a Jieke Security barracks located three kilometers away.
More than two thousand members of Jieke Security were stationed at the barracks, ready to assist the factory at a moment’s notice should any situation arise.
The leading vehicle rolled down its window, and the pretty face of Liu Yingying was seen by the guards, who immediately became serious, recognizing her as the president of Jieke Company, and saluted her with utmost respect. However, they still checked her credentials according to protocol before letting the convoy through.
The vehicles entered the factory and came to a stop, and suit-clad individuals began to step out one after another.
Aside from the senior executives of Jieke Company, the cars also carried many high-ranking officials from Mande City, including Mayor An Sangshen.
A large group revolved around a young man as they toured the newly built largest insect breeding plant in Chan Country.
“Mr. Su, the Fumen Breeding Farm was just completed last week, built entirely to your specifications. It can accommodate hundreds of millions of poison insects and snakes for breeding and has completed comprehensive firefighting and virus protection systems. We owe much to the assistance provided by the municipal government departments; otherwise, our construction wouldn’t have been so swift,” Liu Yingying reported in detail while accompanying Su Jie, holding a folder in her hands, and referred to him with honorifics before the outsiders.
Su Jie strolled along the green walkways of the breeding farm, observing the surrounding breeding workshops.
Poison insects and snakes purchased from outside farmers were carefully bred here through specialized disinfection, disease prevention, and waste cleaning processes to ensure the creatures thrived.
The scene before him pleased Su Jie, and he said to An Sangshen with a smile, “You’ve worked hard, Mayor An. I hear you’ve set up a special channel just for Jieke Company, ensuring that matters concerning us are expedited as a priority.”
“Not at all, Jieke Company is one of Mande Region’s major taxpayers and a model corporation. Without Jieke, without your wise leadership, Mr. Su, our Mande Region wouldn’t be thriving as it is now. Of course, it’s only right that our municipal government makes an effort to show support,” responded An Sangshen with an ingratiating smile, looking more like a fawning lackey than the Mande City Mayor in front of Su Jie.
“I must say, Mayor An is performing quite well! Perhaps we can entrust him with more responsibilities in the future. It’s important for Mande City to have such talented individuals for it to prosper and develop,” Su Jie commented to Liu Yingying, who nodded and made a note of it.
“Mr. Su, you flatter me. My small contributions are nothing compared to yours; I am not even worthy to carry your shoes. Should you have any instructions in the future, our municipal government will definitely cooperate with full dedication,” said An Sangshen, his face brightening. With Su Jie’s words, his position as the newly appointed Mande City Mayor seemed secured.
Nobody knew better than him the influence that Su Jie wielded, as the young man who single-handedly established Jieke Company was the real power behind the scenes in the Mande Region.
Especially recently, there were frequent reports about Jieke Company – from recruiting retired soldiers for security training to tying up economically with a vast number of farmers via commercial channels, to gargantuan public infrastructure development such as schools, hospitals, and roads, advancing their cause through both military and economic influence.
It could be bluntly stated that the entire Mande Region was Jieke Company’s backyard, and whether he remained as mayor was just a matter of a word from the man before him.
Other officials, upon hearing Su Jie’s remarks, couldn’t help but show a trace of envy on their faces.
Flattering was not something just anyone had the opportunity to do.
Many officials, full of ambition, were extremely jealous of An Sangshen. Even if it meant being a puppet, it was a position atop Mande City’s power hierarchy, second only to one person. Who wouldn’t want that?
