"Name?"

"Li Fei."

". The one from the Martial Arts University?"

"Yes, first-year student at the Martial Arts University, Li Fei."

"Hello, hello."

"."

After the patrolling inspectors arrived, they first interrogated Li Fei; upon learning Li Fei's identity, their attitude immediately became polite.

As the peerless genius of the Martial Arts University, Li Fei's name had long spread throughout Datong Prefecture City, and even ordinary inspectors had heard of him.

"Do you need to be sent to the hospital first?"

Because they saw that Li Fei had gunshot wounds on his body, and in more than one place, the arriving inspectors asked if they should send Li Fei to the hospital first.

They could not afford the responsibility of the Martial Arts University's peerless genius dying in front of them.

"No need, I can handle it myself."

Li Fei refused.

Next, after politely asking about the course of events, the small team leader leading the scene realized that the matter was not simple and was not something they could decide, so he immediately sent people back to the General Inspection Academy to report.

A few minutes later, before the people from the General Inspection Academy arrived, the cars from the General Supervision Academy arrived first.

Several men wearing deep black robes and dome hats walked over quickly, showed their credentials to the inspectors on the perimeter, and then walked to Li Fei.

One of the men handed his credentials to Li Fei with both hands and said very politely:

"I am Hong Liheng, a Level 2 Inspector of the General Supervision Academy."

Li Fei took the other party's credentials, glanced at them, and nodded: "Hello."

"Can the matter here be handed over to our General Supervision Academy to handle?"

Hong Liheng asked.

Li Fei looked into the other party's eyes and immediately understood:

"Yes, I have no problem with that, but what about the General Inspection Academy?"

"Leave this to me to handle."

Hong Liheng said.

Li Fei: "Alright."

So Hong Liheng turned around to communicate with the small team leader who was leading the team.

More than ten minutes later, a middle team leader from the General Inspection Academy arrived and called away all the inspectors at the scene.

"Officer, please come back with us."

Hong Liheng walked to Li Fei's side and said in a low voice.

He knew Li Fei's identity as a secret inspector and also knew that Li Fei's rank was higher than his, so he addressed Li Fei as Officer.

"Alright."

Li Fei nodded.

Soon, he got into the car of the General Supervision Academy and returned to the General Supervision Academy with Hong Liheng and others.

Completely different from the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere that outsiders imagined, the General Supervision Academy was also brightly lit at night, with people coming and going, a scene of busyness.

It looked very lively.

After Li Fei waited for a while in a guest room, Xia Xia Huan pushed the door and walked in.

"How are your injuries?"

The first sentence Xia Xia Huan said after entering the room was to express concern.

Li Fei: "I'm already fine, thank you for your concern, Officer Xia."

He had shot himself five times; now he had already circulated his power to force the bullets out of his body and stopped the bleeding.

"We will definitely investigate tonight's attack with all our strength and give you an explanation!"

Xia Xia Huan promised.

Because they had successfully arranged a meeting with the Green Face Ghost through Li Fei before, the General Supervision Academy now valued Li Fei even more.

This time Li Fei was attacked, they took the case from the General Inspection Academy at the first opportunity, just to better win over Li Fei.

"Alright, thank you, Officer Xia."

Li Fei nodded.

He really wanted to know who hired such a group of people to kill him.

Poison King? Cannon King?

During this period, these two were the biggest suspects, but it could also be someone else wanting to fish in troubled waters.

After all, there are so many forces in Datong Prefecture, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

Xia Xia Huan sat with Li Fei for a while, and someone pushed the door in and handed him a document.

After he lowered his head and glanced at it a few times, he handed this document directly to Li Fei:

"It's been found out; the person who attacked you tonight, the team leader's code name is 'Shell,' and the team he leads is a very famous assassination team from the provincial capital."

Li Fei took the document and started reading; it detailed the relevant information of the members of the "Shell" team and their past combat records.

Seeing that this team had once successfully assassinated three Dao-Foundation-stage powerhouses, Li Fei showed a look of surprise.

"It's truly surprising that you were able to survive tonight and kill all three main members of their team; you are worthy of being a peerless genius!"

Xia Xia Huan exclaimed in admiration.

A team capable of assassinating Dao-Foundation-stage powerhouses actually stumbled on Li Fei, a Qi-Transformation Late-stage martial artist; not many people would believe it if it were told.

But considering that Li Fei himself is a peerless genius, any kind of miracle happening to such a genius is possible, so Xia Xia Huan did not have any doubts, just deepened his understanding of Li Fei, this peerless genius, a little more.

"Just good luck, I almost died."

Li Fei said calmly.

The reason he did not leave anyone alive was to prevent "Shell" and the others from exposing his true combat power.

He had specifically handled the corpses and the battlefield, so no clues should be detected.

Xia Xia Huan glanced at the gunshot wound on Li Fei's neck and nodded:

"Luck is also a part of strength; if it were any other martial artist, no matter how good their luck was, they wouldn't have been able to survive."

Li Fei smiled and did not say much.

"Don't worry, we will strictly keep the situation of tonight's battle confidential."

Xia Xia Huan continued, "In addition, this team has more than three people; we are already searching the whole city for the rest of them. As long as we catch them, we will have a chance to follow the clues and find the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Alright, thank you, Officer Xia."

Li Fei thanked him politely.

"You, you are too polite."

Xia Xia Huan shook his head and laughed.

More than ten minutes later, Xia Xia Huan sent a team to escort Li Fei back to the Martial Arts University.

Not long after returning to the Martial Arts University, Li Fei performed the Leaf Blinds the Eyes technique and the Vajra Seal: Precious Vase, and snuck out of the school.

His true self was attacked tonight; if the Green Face Ghost happened not to go to the Green Face Manor tonight, someone with a heart might associate it with something.

Li Fei did not want to leave any flaws, so he left the Martial Arts University quietly.

Not long after, the Green Face Ghost appeared at the Green Face Manor again.

Just like before, Li Fei went directly to the dungeon.

In the days that followed, Li Fei lived a rare, peaceful life.

Every morning he went to class to follow Wen Ke and learn the "Holistic Method"; when there was no class, he would study the "Ten-Day Breakthrough Method" in his dormitory.

Every afternoon he went to Mo Mo Yizhou's place to "solve problems."

At night, he first practiced 【Phantom Leaf】 to practice techniques, and then went to the dungeon of the Green Face Manor to "Observe the Dao" with the help of Liu Liu Wenjun.

He did not encounter any more attacks, nor did he encounter any tricky matters that required him to handle them.

On the other side, the Qingyuan Property Management Company, the Zhang family, and Feng Feng Sanniang—these three forces joined hands to compete with the "Poison King" and "Cannon King" for the assets left behind by the "Beast King" Yu Yu Longqing.

Yu Yu Longqing still had three large exotic beast food plantations and more than a dozen raw material production sites within Datong Prefecture; Li Fei currently only controlled the Green Face Manor and the raw material production site in Chen Family Village.

If he wants to completely control the exotic beast food market in Datong Prefecture, he must at least take down more than half of the remaining three large exotic beast food plantations and more than a dozen raw material production sites.

Otherwise, if there are no goods in hand, what will he use to seize the market?

But for the competition over these places, relying solely on force is not enough. Just like Chen Family Village, Li Fei could not directly use violence to conquer it; in the end, he supported Chen Chen Lixin, a member of the Chen family, to take power and used the Chen family to govern Chen Family Village.

Therefore, to occupy these plantations and production sites, force is only the most basic; the rest requires connections, support or suppression from the government, influence in the local area, money, and so on.

This series of struggles tests the foundation of a force, which is also the reason why Li Fei wants to cooperate with Feng Feng Sanniang and the Zhang family.

The foundation of the Qingyuan Property Management Company is still too shallow; even if it swallowed the "Beast King's" forces, it only swallowed a part, and compared to major forces at the level of the "Seven Kings" and the three major families of Datong Prefecture, there is still a significant gap.

No matter how good Li Fei is at fighting alone, he cannot guard so much territory, unless he stops doing everything else in the future and just keeps patrolling within Datong Prefecture, running to wherever problems appear to suppress them.

The Qingyuan Property Management Company, Feng Feng Sanniang, and the Zhang family—the three forces joined hands to barely suppress the Poison King and the Cannon King.

Because Li Fei has Yang Zhe, a former "Three Scholars," under his command, who is familiar with the inside story and has connections, plus the deterrence brought by the battle in the wilderness, and Feng Feng Sanniang still has many trump cards, Li Fei and the others' advantage is constantly expanding.

Judging from the current situation, the "Poison King" and "Cannon King" will at most share a portion of the benefits in the end and will have the ability to occupy a place in the exotic beast food market of Datong Prefecture in the future, but the lion's share will definitely still belong to Li Fei's side.

Regarding all of this, Li Fei did not pay any attention, focusing wholeheartedly on "solving problems" and preparing for the "Ten-Day Breakthrough Method."

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Morning of May 6th, in Mo Mo Yizhou's laboratory.

Li Fei had already solved the problem to the most critical step, which was the final step!

He was constantly calculating on the paper.

At a certain moment, he suddenly raised his head, subconsciously wanting to call Mo Mo Yizhou, but stopped.

He successfully solved the problem in his hand!

Mo Mo Yizhou was completely immersed in his own research at this time and did not notice the abnormality on Li Fei's side.

Li Fei hesitated for a moment and ultimately chose not to tell Mo Mo Yizhou the answer he had solved right now.

If Mo Mo Yizhou knew, he would definitely inform the General Inspection Academy at the first opportunity.

Li Fei wanted to investigate it himself first to see if he could find any results.

He always felt that there might be a huge conspiracy hidden behind this matter, and mastering information one step ahead is always beneficial.

Mo Mo Yizhou giving the final problem directly to Li Fei at the beginning was also handing the initiative to Li Fei.

When to hand in the answer is decided by Li Fei himself.

"Mr. Mo."

Li Fei called out.

"Hmm?"

Mo Mo Yizhou turned to look at him.

"Let's stop here for today; I'm leaving first."

Li Fei said.

"Alright."

Mo Mo Yizhou nodded and then continued to bury his head in research.

Li Fei walked out of the classroom, returned to his dormitory, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

After waiting for a few minutes, the call was answered, and Yang Zhe's somewhat exhausted voice came from the other end:

"Who is this?"

"It's me."

Li Fei said in a low voice.

"Ghost King, what are your instructions?"

Yang Zhe said in a respectful tone.

"Arrange for someone to check the market to see if there have been any large-scale transaction records of rosemary in the past year; check secretly, do not attract anyone's attention."

Li Fei instructed.

"Alright, Ghost King, don't worry."

Yang Zhe did not ask why and directly agreed.

Among the answers Li Fei solved, one medicinal ingredient needs to be decocted with a large amount of rosemary.

According to his estimation, this amount must be at least over a thousand catties!

Rosemary itself can be used to make anesthetics and sedatives; this kind of medicinal herb is used most in hospitals.

But for normal procurement, it should be impossible for a hospital to purchase over a thousand catties of rosemary at once.

So Li Fei asked Yang Zhe to check to see if he could find any results based on this clue.

Three days later, Green Face Manor.

In the dungeon, Li Fei was using the "Contemplation of Self-Existence Method" to guide Liu Liu Wenjun in "Return to One."

Now his focus was no longer on guiding Liu Liu Wenjun on how to extract the implant branches from her body, but on how to slowly gather the extracted implant branches and finally bring them together.

This is the content that Li Fei's "Ten-Day Breakthrough Method" was still lacking.

Another night passed, and under Li Fei's guidance, Liu Liu Wenjun successfully gathered one branch to her dantian.

Choosing this place as the end point for gathering is because it is relatively closest to all parts of the body and is not so dangerous.

"Let's stop here; I won't come again from now on."

Li Fei stood up, turned his back to Liu Liu Wenjun, and said.

Liu Liu Wenjun was stunned and showed a complex expression.

She had recently become accustomed to receiving Li Fei's guidance every night; Li Fei suddenly saying that he would never come again made her very uncomfortable.

But as an enemy, she had no way to beg Li Fei to continue guiding her.

"I hope you don't make me wait too long."

Li Fei turned around, looked at Liu Liu Wenjun, and said so.

Up to today, he had already mastered all the techniques and experience he needed; continuing to observe the Dao on Liu Liu Wenjun no longer had any meaning.

Actually, he could kill the other party with one blade, but he had promised the other party at the beginning that he would wait for her to break through the realm and give her a chance for one-on-one revenge.

Li Fei did not intend to break his promise.

Just consider it as the reward for the other party letting him observe the Dao.

After speaking, Li Fei turned and left the dungeon.

He returned to the Martial Arts University overnight and arrived under a building.

This building is called Peace Building and is a place specially used for students to go into seclusion.

Seclusion in martial arts is not always very dangerous, but there is always some risk; the Martial Arts University naming this place "Peace Building" is also in the hope that the students who walk in here can eventually walk out safely.

Over the course of more than a month, Li Fei had thoroughly perfected the "Ten-Day Breakthrough Method" he conceived and planned to start his seclusion tonight to charge toward the Dao-Foundation stage!

Compared to the outside, this Peace Building at the Martial Arts University must be the safest place, so Li Fei chose to come here for seclusion.

It is open 24 hours a day, and there are always people on duty, and there is also a Dao-Foundation-stage professor guarding here long-term.

After Li Fei completed the registration in the lobby on the first floor, he spent 5 credits to rent a secret room with the highest security level and then walked in.

Next, what he will challenge will be a record that has never existed in the history of human martial arts cultivation for thousands of years:

Complete "Return to One" within ten days and break through to the Dao-Foundation stage!

Begging for monthly tickets.

More coming tonight.
