Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 326 Hundred Tribulations Elixir
Gurgle!
Shi Feiya gulped down mouthful after mouthful of water, her delicate face adorned with strong shock and disbelief.
The cup of wine had yet to cool.
Xiao Yi had already slain Tan Feng.
This was a genuine Dharma Manifestation Realm powerhouse!
Since when had the existence of the Dharma Manifestation Realm become so fragile?
Xiao Yi looked at Shi Feiya and spoke indifferently, "Tan Feng has been killed by me, how to control the slave market next will depend on your own capability, Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce!"
"Ah? Ah!"
Shi Feiya snapped back to reality, her gaze towards Xiao Yi filled with several shades of reverence as she said solemnly, "Rest assured, our Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce has long been prepared. Now with Tan Feng dead, the slave market will surely be within my grasp."
Excitement began to replace the shock on her face.
The slave market of Beast Emperor City was incredibly large, with yearly profits exceeding hundreds of billions of Silver.
If she could take control of the slave market of Beast Emperor City into her hands, her position in the Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce would become even more secure. Shi Feiya immediately brought out two contracts, "Xiao, shall we sign this contract then?"
Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Not in a rush, the terms on the contract need to be changed!"
"Hmm?"
Shi Feiya was taken aback.
Xiao Yi leaned forward slightly, smiling as he looked at her, "I will take thirty percent of the profits from the slave market. In addition, I will need a hundred slots per year to select from the slave market in priority. Also, the slave market will cooperate with Xiaoshanhe Institute. In the future, I will send disciples from Xiaoshanhe Institute to the Slave Battlefield to fight and enhance their combat experience."
Flowers in a greenhouse can never withstand storms.
Xiao Yi could provide the best cultivation environment and the most abundant resources for the disciples of Xiaoshanhe Institute, but just having cultivation was not enough—combat experience was equally important.
Real powerhouses are never created through mere consumption of elixirs.
Only through battle...
Especially the battle between life and death, can one's potential be thoroughly stimulated.
Shi Feiya's lovely eyebrows furrowed lightly, the last two conditions were not a problem, but Xiao Yi actually wanted thirty percent of the slave market's profits, which amounted to over a hundred billion Silver a year.
At her core, Shi Feiya was still a merchant. She shook her head and said, "I can agree to the last two conditions right now, but the first one... Thirty percent is really too much. You have to understand that controlling and maintaining the slave market requires a huge expenditure. Moreover, you should be aware that behind the Tan Family is Deputy City Lord Sha Kun. Now with Tan Feng dead, we also need to establish connections, and the annual expenses here are not small... "
This was indeed the truth.
Just like the Tan Family...
They had been able to control the slave market of Beast Emperor City for so long, earning so much money each year, but why did the clan only have one Dharma Manifestation Realm cultivator? That was why.
It was because the Tan Family had to give over fifty percent of their profits to Sha Kun every year.
After deducting all the various maintenance fees and expenses for training powerhouses, having twenty percent left was already considered good.
Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Don't worry, from now on the slave market will be under my protection, no need to find another backer!"
"Uhh..."
Shi Feiya paused, her phoenix eyes flashing with an inexplicable radiance as she said with a wry smile, "Xiao, Feiya knows you are strong, but in Beast Emperor City, to protect such a large piece of juicy meat from being coveted by others, it's still somewhat insufficient!"
Beast Emperor City, where might makes right, was a place of rampant strength.
This place was a jumble of dragons and snakes, full of desperate desperadoes who would lick the edge of a knife for survival.
No matter how strong Xiao Yi was as an individual, he could not deter everyone.
In the vast Beast Emperor City, the only people who had the power and status to protect the slave market were the former City Lord and Sha Kun alone.
Although Shi Feiya didn't make it explicit, the implication in her words was self-evident.
Huang Yuwei, who had been silent all this while, said, "What if you add me to the equation?"
"Hmm?"
Shi Feiya was startled, she knew full well Huang Yuwei's identity and laughed ruefully, "Princess Yuwei, with all due respect... If your father were here, indeed there would be no issues. But now, your father is... "
"My father is only poisoned. As long as President Shi can provide me with the Hundred Tribulations Elixir from Vice President Lin's hands, I can definitely wake my father," Huang Yuwei said with furrowed brows, biting her lip. "As long as President Shi is willing to help me, once my father wakes up, I will have him protect the Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce, and in addition to the conditions Xiao Yi has negotiated with you, we will not take any benefits!"
Shi Feiya's gaze flickered.
If she could secure the City Lord's protection in Beast Emperor City, that would naturally be most desirable.

However...
Shi Feiya gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, I'll go find Vice President Lin and get that Hundred Tribulations Elixir for you!"
Half an incense stick of time later.
Shi Feiya returned to everyone, her face wearing a light, relieved smile, "The Hundred Tribulations Elixir is in hand, Princess Yuwei, I hope you will keep your promise."
"President Shi, please be assured!"
Huang Yuwei excitedly took the Hundred Tribulations Elixir.
Xiao Yi said, "President Shi, please prepare the herbs on the list for me, and once we've woken up the city lord, we'll return to sign the contract!"
"As it should be!"
Shi Feiya nodded emphatically.
Xiao Yi called out and left the Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce with Along and Huang Yuwei.

City Lord's Mansion.
Located in the central city.
The entire City Lord's Mansion covered a vast area, with buildings closely packed together in an arrangement resembling the Eight Trigrams. If someone unfamiliar entered, they could easily become lost and unable to find their way out.
Huang Yuwei led Xiao Yi and Along, heading straight for the Beast Emperor Pavilion where her father resided.
The Beast Emperor Pavilion was situated at the very depths of the City Lord's Mansion.
Huang Yuwei carefully cradled the elixir, and as she arrived at the Beast Emperor Pavilion, she was stopped at the entrance. Two guards crossed their weapons in front of her, saying coldly, "By the young master's order, without his permission, no one is to enter!"
"Hmm?"
Huang Yuwei's face changed slightly as she rebuked, "Are you blind? Even I can't go in?"
"Sorry, young mistress!"
The two guards spoke coldly.
"You..."
Huang Yuwei's face went from pale to flushed with anger. She never imagined that after going through so much trouble to acquire the precious medicine, she would be blocked at the door by her own family. She shouted into the pavilion, "Huang Jinghong, get out here!"
"Who is so bold as to make such a racket in the City Lord's Mansion? Do they no longer wish to live?"
An arrogant voice came from inside as a haughty young man who bore a slight resemblance to Huang Yuwei walked out boldly, dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a golden crown.
This person was Huang Yuwei's older brother, Huang Jinghong!
At the Third Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm.
Huang Jinghong squinted at Huang Yuwei, his eyes filled with deep contempt and ridicule, "So it's you, you wild girl. Father needs to cultivate in peace, and yet you're causing a commotion. What sort of decorum is this?"
Huang Yuwei bit her teeth and said, "Huang Jinghong, have your men stand aside. I have acquired the Hundred Tribulations Elixir for father, which can save his life. If you delay and something happens, can you take responsibility?"
"Hmm? Hundred Tribulations Elixir?"
Huang Jinghong's face changed slightly.
He was of course aware of such a medicine; it was a treasure that had been lost to time.
It could cure all poisons!
"No, I absolutely can't let this girl give the elixir to father, or the great credit will be hers..."
Huang Jinghong's thoughts quickly turned, and he said, "Hand the Hundred Tribulations Elixir to me, and I will personally administer it to father."
"No way, I must personally give it to father!" Huang Yuwei said.
Huang Jinghong huffed, frustrated, and said, "Huang Yuwei, how can you be so selfish? Do you think I, your elder brother, care about such petty credit? I, too, am thinking of father's safety... What do you think is more important, your credit or saving father's life?"
Huang Yuwei's expression changed, her teeth biting down on her cherry lips.
After hesitating for a moment.
Huang Yuwei handed the medicine box to Huang Jinghong, admonishing, "You must administer it to father!"
"Leave it to me!"
Huang Jinghong, his face filled with excitement, took the medicine box and ran towards the pavilion...
