The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 566: Big Brother’s Generosity

Long Fei spent the day instructing two beauties at home, and when he left, he left them with enough medicinal materials, and even left his own pill furnace behind for them to experiment with.

Teaching beauties, now that’s a true pleasure.

Whenever they came across something they didn’t understand, they’d coquettishly pout or act cute, which was irresistibly tantalizing.

He planned to find an opportunity to personally refine a pill furnace.

The main flaw of this copper cauldron was too significant; the highest quality pills it could produce were only at the half-pattern level, which fell far short of his expectations.

He experimented with the two beauties, refining two Beauty Enhancement Pills for them to taste.

The two women’s eyes widened in astonishment, as if they were witnessing an immortal’s tricks, and they admired Long Fei endlessly.

Pills, these were things of legends.

They had never dreamed of being able to partake in such wonders.

At present, neither of them had achieved the Foundation Establishment Realm, so naturally, they could not use spiritual power to control the flame for alchemy.

Long Fei modified a gas stove for them so that they could make do with it for the time being.

Even if they failed to concoct the pills, drinking the mixture as a medicinal soup was quite nourishing.

With An Xiaoke keeping Wang Xiaoya company, the latter didn’t whine about feeling lonely and cold anymore.

As Long Fei drove away, the two women excitedly tinkered with the alchemy cauldron and didn’t even come out to see him off.

He headed to the eastern part of the city, to the Landscape Clubhouse.

He Hongtao had invited him over again via a phone call, and he found it difficult to refuse.

After all, sometimes he still needed to utilize these societal contacts.

The Landscape Clubhouse was also one of He Hongtao’s properties, located in the same area as the Shen Family’s estate.

Nestled against the mountains and the sea.

The surrounding forests were lush, with a beautiful scenery.

Today, Iron Head really did He Hongtao a big favor; the latter had recently encountered a bit of trouble and wanted to ask for Long Fei’s help, but he didn’t know how to broach the subject.

After all, they didn’t run in the same circles, and their acquaintance was merely superficial.

With Iron Head causing trouble, He Hongtao saw his chance and made good use of this underling to cozy up to Long Fei.

The clubhouse was built in pure traditional Chinese style. As Long Fei parked his car, an employee informed the inside, and surprisingly, He Hongtao came out personally to greet him.

Long Fei’s brow furrowed as he thought to himself, great, this must mean some big trouble is headed my way.

"Brother Long, it’s been so long, I’ve missed you so much!" He Hongtao said as he reached out to shake hands with Long Fei, even giving him a big hug.

Long Fei felt a surge of awkwardness, thinking that this brother might have changed his tastes recently; he was being overly affectionate.

Under He Hongtao’s invitation, the group entered the clubhouse’s reception hall and took their seats.

The interior was carpeted in red, with all the high-end furniture made of sandalwood, releasing a fragrant woody aroma upon entering.

Once seated, Sister Hong, dressed in a cheongsam with a high slit, personally served Long Fei tea with great care.

Long Fei smiled lightly and said directly to He Hongtao, "Hong Ye, let’s skip all the formalities. Just speak frankly, and if I can help, I will."

"Brother Long is so righteous!" He Hongtao laughed and gave a fist salute. After taking a sip of tea, he spoke in a grave voice, "Since Brother Long puts it that way, I won’t beat around the bush. It’s about that Sun Bao issue again. Thanks to Brother Long’s help last time, I was able to get rid of that scoundrel. But now his master is back, rumored to be at the pinnacle of Martial Arts.

I sent someone to pass a message, hoping to reconcile with him, as ’it is better to end enmities than to make them.’ But his first demand is for one of my copper mines, which is simply outrageous and beyond reason! I’ve also approached several well-known toughs on the street, planning to meet face-to-face with him here tomorrow. For the sake of caution, I would like to ask Brother Long to stand as my support during the meeting. As for the reward, Brother Long, just name your price, and I won’t bargain."

"A copper mine?"

Long Fei frowned slightly, recalling the matter.

He Hongtao partnered with an entrepreneur from Jinxi, Zhang Guifa, to set up a copper mine at Wang Family Ridge, halfway between Binhai City and Longjiawan Village.

At that time, Long Fei had returned home and got into a big fight with Zhang Guifa’s underlings.

He asked curiously, "You have many businesses under your control, so why did they specifically target your copper mine?"

He Hongtao sighed and said, "Nothing can be hidden from Brother Long. We wouldn’t be afraid just because of Sun Bao’s master alone. The key issue is that there’s the Zhang Family from Dragon-Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Sect standing behind them. Brother Long is in this line of work; you must have heard of this clan, right?"

"I’ve heard a bit!"

Long Fei nodded.

He Hongtao explained, "It is said that the Zhang Family of Dragon-Tiger Mountain are the descendants of the Dragon-Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Sect. This family excels in crafting magic artifacts and contracts to develop mines all over the country. You know, our copper mine at Wang Family Ridge is famous nationwide, and it has been since ancient times. In Binhai City, there used to be an institution specifically for casting copper coins for the Imperial Court. I suspect that the Zhang Family has its eye on this copper mine, which is why Sun Bao’s master dares to make such an outrageous demand."

"I understand now."

Long Fei had been considering the copper mine these past few days, and had not expected to find a lead here, after all his effort to seek it out elsewhere.

To refine an alchemy furnace is not as simple as using just three or five hundred pounds of copper.

The pill furnace of a cultivator must have a density of at least nanometer level; the fewer the impurities inside, the higher the quality of pills refined.

A cauldron one meter in height requires at least a thousand tons of copper to be continuously refined and purified.

If he alone required so much copper, not to mention a large clan like the Zhang Family.

No wonder He Hongtao was so visibly worried; as a cultivation family, the Zhang Family’s worldly connections were surely deeply entrenched.

Even Fourth Master Shen backing He Hongtao would likely have difficulty dealing with such a noble family.

Therefore, the best course of action was to defeat Sun Bao’s master, the one sticking his neck out, in one fell swoop, to dissuade the Zhang Family from their plans.

After thinking it over, Long Fei said to He Hongtao, "Forget about the payment. If you can use me tomorrow, Hong Ye, just give me a thousand tons of raw copper."

The copper available in the market now was mostly recycled, second-hand copper, which had more impurities and was less pure than raw copper.

The current price of raw copper is about fifty thousand per ton.

A thousand tons would be fifty million.

He Hongtao had already mentally prepared to give Long Fei a hundred million, but to his surprise, he only wanted fifty million in raw materials?

Befitting a big brother in stature, he didn’t question Long Fei’s purpose, and immediately agreed, "Brother Long, as long as you’re willing to show up and take charge tomorrow, whether or not you take action, a thousand tons of raw copper are yours."

"Thanks!"

Long Fei nodded and appreciated this about He Hongtao.

Not stingy—that’s the attitude of a big brother.

If he had hesitated even for a moment, Long Fei wouldn’t have bothered to help him.

With this price, he could buy it from someone else anyway.

After finishing three cups of tea, the two had concluded their business.

That night, Long Fei didn’t go home but stayed in a guest room at the clubhouse.

These high-end rooms were large suites with three bedrooms and a living room, luxuriously decorated on par with a five-star hotel.

In the middle of the night, people began to check into the room next door.

A group of guests seemingly drinking, were playing a loud game of finger-guessing.

Someone shouted, "What does Hong Ye mean by this? He invites people from the Divine Sword Sect over to help, yet I hear he’s asked some no-name youngster to hold down the fort. Is he looking down on our Divine Sword Sect?"

"Forget about it, why overthink it! As long as he pays, who cares who else he invites?"

The man objected, "The reputation of the Divine Sword Sect is at stake, how can we compromise? When the Young Sect Master comes tomorrow, we must inform him, so he can have a word with He Hongtao."

"Fine, then we’ll talk when the Young Sect Master arrives. This is a chance for our Divine Sword Sect to make a name for ourselves, and everyone must seize this opportunity and not let the sect down."

"Of course, we’ll give it our all tomorrow to beat that so-called grandmaster into a total defeat!"
