Chapter 259: Cooperation 2

This time the transaction amount was quite large, with thirty million worth of air; to be safe, Meng Yifan and Jiang Hailong came to run the errand together.

Meng Yifan was very busy; once the transactions were on the right track in the future, he would let Jiang Hailong arrange for someone else to handle them.

Haicheng is a large city near the coast, where every inch of land is worth gold, and it is very prosperous; the location for this transaction was chosen on a small, uninhabited island near the coast.

The location was chosen by Meng Yifan; he had a helicopter at his base, so going to this island was very convenient.

Additionally, Meng Yifan had checked the information on Hu Group and discovered that this person, Hu Youwei, was not simple at all.

When he was young, he was destitute and had once joined the Hongmen, even serving as a high-ranking official back in the day.

It was only later that Hu Youwei began doing business and making connections with government officials, slowly ceasing to participate in the fighting and killing of the Hongmen.

However, every year Hu Youwei would pay a generous sum of funds to the Hongmen, effectively acting as a major financial backer for them; when Hongmen disciples saw him, they still had to respectfully call him "Big Brother."

The business world is like a battlefield, and Hu Youwei had also once encountered formidable competitors; both sides tore off their masks and used every trick in the book.

In the end, with one order from Hu Youwei, he summoned hundreds of Hongmen thugs, beat his opponents until they knelt and begged for mercy, and from then on, they dared not step foot into Haicheng again.

A businessman like Hu Youwei, who had connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world, would certainly try every possible means to control the production method of Dawu Brand Air Canned once he knew it had miraculous effects.

Meng Yifan possessed great strength and did not fear Hu Youwei trying to double-cross him, but he was worried that the other party would use official power to suppress him.

Meng Yifan could easily handle ordinary pistols and rifles, but this was not a question of whether he could handle them; it was that he could not confront the official violent apparatus unless absolutely necessary.

Meng Yifan had promised Zhang Sanfeng to protect the land of Shenzhou, so naturally, he did not want to end up on the opposite side of the authorities.

"Hmph! If you cooperate honestly, we are partners, and you can act as the agent to sell Air Canned in the future; if you want to double-cross me, I will let you know the terror of a Fourth-Grade Powerhouse."

Meng Yifan and Jiang Hailong arrived at the desolate island by helicopter, and Hu Youwei and Hu Yujuan, along with a group of burly men in black, had been waiting there for a long time.

Ever since Hu Youwei inhaled half a can of Dawu Brand Air Canned, he felt his breathing become smooth, and he no longer had the feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath he had before.

Such a miraculous effect shocked Hu Youwei; more importantly, Hu Youwei had also been a martial arts expert when he was young and had practiced internal cultivation techniques, but later, during a gang fight, an expert from the other side shattered his dantian and qi sea, crippling his cultivation, leaving him weak and sickly ever since.

Hu Youwei keenly sensed that Dawu Brand Air Canned contained some pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; no wonder it could cure asthma, and absorbing it year-round could even prolong life.

Hu Youwei's teacher was an expert in both martial arts and cultivation, and the techniques he passed down back then were also divided into martial arts and those for an Immortal Cultivator.

It was just that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on Earth had dried up, making it impossible to practice the techniques of an Immortal Cultivator, and he did not dare to hope for attaining the Dao, becoming an immortal, and living a carefree, eternal life.

"The seller is selling ten thousand cans of Air Canned in one go, which means he has mastered a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; if I can master this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, I can practice the techniques of an Immortal Cultivator."

Thinking of this, Hu Youwei decided that no matter what, he had to control the seller and obtain the method for acquiring large amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from him.

In order to deal with Meng Yifan, Hu Youwei had drawn one hundred thugs from the Hongmen; they were equipped with modern weapons and had strong combat capabilities; furthermore, Hu Youwei had also called his teacher over.

Hu Youwei's teacher was named Du Qingyun; he was already ninety-two years old, yet his hearing was not impaired, his eyes were not blurred, and he remained spirited and glowing, looking just like an immortal.

Du Qingyun had long since stopped managing Hongmen affairs and usually lived in seclusion deep in the mountains; it was only because this involved a large amount of Spirit Qi that he had come out from the deep mountains this time.

Meng Yifan walked over with Jiang Hailong; he did not think much of those one hundred Hongmen disciples; compared to ordinary people, these men were considered skilled, but compared to him, they were like two or three-year-old toddlers.

However, the white-haired old man beside Hu Youwei made Meng Yifan somewhat surprised.

Meng Yifan used his Spiritual Power to examine the old man's body and discovered that he was actually a dual practitioner of martial arts and cultivation.

Both his martial arts and cultivation had reached the Third Grade Lower Tier; it seemed there were still true experts in the Shenzhou cultivation world.

What surprised Meng Yifan even more was that this old man was actually practicing authentic Taiji Fist; he must be a descendant of Zhang Sanfeng.

Meng Yifan was the closing disciple of Zhang Sanfeng and had a very high seniority; by this reckoning, this white-haired old man should also be a descendant of Meng Yifan.

Jiang Hailong handed over two large gas cylinders and said, "Boss Hu, inside these is enough air to fill ten thousand cans of Air Canned; please verify the goods, and if there are no problems, please pay the thirty million."

Hu Youwei waved his hand, and professionals went to inspect the air quality; very soon, the professional nodded, indicating that this air was fine and, just like the air in the first batch of cans, contained a component beneficial to the body.

After confirming that the air was fine, Hu Youwei very readily transferred the thirty million to Jiang Hailong's account.

The transaction ended, and Meng Yifan and Jiang Hailong prepared to leave; at this moment, Hu Youwei said, "Boss Meng, I wonder if we can talk more; can you tell me where you obtained the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?"

"No." Meng Yifan refused directly.

"What if I insist on knowing?" After Hu Youwei finished speaking, the group of men in black around him all took out weapons hidden inside their clothes, and the pitch-black gun barrels were aimed at Meng Yifan and Jiang Hailong; as long as Hu Youwei gave the order, they could turn Meng Yifan and Jiang Hailong into a sieve.

Being pointed at by one hundred guns, Meng Yifan was not in the least bit flustered and said calmly, "You can try."

Meng Yifan's Yin Domain had long since enveloped his body; as soon as the other party fired, the Yin Domain would instantly expand to block the incoming bullets, and then Meng Yifan would begin a massacre and kill all these men in black.

Hu Youwei hesitated for a moment; facing so many guns and still not being flustered at all, either the other party was powerful and confident in blocking these one hundred guns, or they were bluffing to make Hu Youwei wary of their background, not daring to act rashly—which type did Meng Yifan belong to?

Just as Hu Youwei was hesitating over whether to order them to fire, a sharp light flashed in Du Qingyun's eyes, and a powerful Spiritual Power was released, attempting to bewilder Meng Yifan's mind and make him reveal the secret of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
