Chapter 262: Chapter 256: Power Surge (Double-Length)
If it weren’t for Qin Tian, Yang Fan would still be that overlooked vice president warming the bench for decades, with all his talents and pride gradually worn out over time.
It was Qin Tian who gave them the opportunity and the platform, leading their lives down a completely different path.
"The second batch of goods will arrive soon, very soon."
Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction. There was no doubt that items from Elf Star were easy to sell.
According to the news, the construction of the Free Trade Port on Elf Star has officially begun and will be completed within six months.
Yang Fan had shared some ideas with him.
Once the supporting facilities are fully established, Elf Star, this treasure trove, will directly enter a stage of rapid development. By then, the trade volume of the Lingfeng Group will grow exponentially, not just limited to selling some spiritual medicines and spirit fruits, but expanding into various sectors of Elf Star through the special relationship with the Elf race, such as tourism, hotels, catering, and infrastructure.
In the future, becoming the top group in the Star Realm will be within reach.
...
Half an hour later, the flying device arrived at the hotel.
Having managed the giant tree-type hotels on Azure Wood Star, now looking at this lavish hotel made of reinforced concrete, Qin Tian felt somewhat unaccustomed.
Guided by the attendant, the four entered a private room.
"Boss, what dishes would you like to eat?"
Yang Fan handed the menu to Qin Tian, who skimmed through it and ordered a few dishes he hadn’t tried before.
Before long, the food was served.
As they ate, they chatted, mainly Feng Mochuan, Li Qi, and Yang Fan reporting the recent work situation to Qin Tian.
Under Yang Fan’s leadership, Lingfeng Company had become a star enterprise on Silver Gray Star, at least in the medicinal herbs industry, known by everyone.
The company developed rapidly, exceeding a thousand employees. Fortunately, Yang Fan retained the basic structure of the former Yuan Shan Group, and most of the middle management were old employees from Yuan Shan Group, which made managing the rapidly growing company smooth, without any chaos.
As the actual legal representative of Lingfeng Company, Feng Mochuan was clueless about company management and didn’t intend to spend much time and energy in this area.
He was keenly aware that this was a world belonging to Spiritualists, and without formidable strength, wealth was impossible to protect.
As the company grows faster, it will inevitably attract various troubles, such as envious competitors, coveting star thieves, and local bullies’ harassment.
By then, Hurricane Mercenary Corps would be needed to escort the company.
This past month, he not only invested heavily in purchasing various cultivation resources, martial techniques, and cultivation techniques to help improve the strength of his subordinates but also began recruiting to expand the manpower, aiming to reach a total membership of over 200, with every member either being a Spiritualist or a Superpower User, all displaying considerable combat power.
Meanwhile, Li Qi was unwilling to be outdone by the others.
He and his subordinates discovered all the Shadow Division members hiding across the planets and transformed them into Night Demon Apostles.
Currently, his newly named organization, "The Shadow Division," had 52 members. It might not seem like many, but each member was an elite who emerged from the most brutal and bloody competition, top talents in intelligence, assassination, and stealth, with the lowest strength at Tier Three Eight Stars, and some even surpassing Li Qi’s level of Spiritual Ability.
Fifty-two Night Demon Apostles with Bronze Level bloodlines formed an incredibly terrifying force, whose overall strength the Hurricane Mercenary Corps could not rival.
In recent times, Lingfeng Company has faced numerous apparent and hidden threats, as the rapid company growth drew envy from many forces, including official pressure and some unsavory underhanded tactics.
Yang Fan and Feng Mochuan handled the evident troubles, while the covert issues were ruthlessly retaliated against by Li Qi, whose brutal methods sent chills through Silver Gray Star’s underground forces.
There were things that Feng Mochuan and Li Qi didn’t hide from Yang Fan.
First, as the General Manager of Lingfeng Company and the top figure in the commercial field, Yang Fan had the right to know about any open or covert company struggles, understand who the enemies were, and have a clear grasp of the situation.
Secondly, unlike Feng Mochuan and Li Qi, who were forever unable to betray the boss due to the influence of Night Demon Bloodline, Yang Fan was not necessarily bound by such constraints.
Therefore, sometimes certain means were needed to remind Yang Fan, to prevent him from straying onto the wrong path.
After dinner, Yang Fan had to return to the company to handle some work, while Feng Mochuan and Li Qi were retained by Qin Tian.
"This time, I went to Azure Wood Star and served as an examiner for the Genius Battle."
Qin Tian chuckled, "If you’ve been paying attention, you should know who I am."
"Haha, boss, I figured out on the first day that Black Crow was you."
Feng Mochuan laughed heartily, "Only you could toy those geniuses round and round like that."
Qin Tian smiled and said:
"I gained quite a few elixirs, spiritual artifacts, and cultivation techniques during the Genius Battle. Now I have secured Silver Level Dark Element cultivation techniques for the two of you."
Upon hearing this, Feng Mochuan and Li Qi’s eyes lit up, especially Feng Mochuan, who had long had the foundation to break through to Tier Six but had been stuck at Tier Five Nine Stars due to the lack of a Silver Level cultivation technique.
In a flash of white light, three inheritance jade slips appeared on the table.
"Dark Element cultivation techniques and martial techniques, ’Infinite Shadow Prison Scripture,’ ’Dark Moon Nine Kills,’ ’Night Ghost Thousand Illusions.’"
Qin Tian introduced the characteristics of the three secret manuals and then said:
"These three manuals are very suited to our Night Demon Bloodline. After you both learn them, practice to master them quickly. Also, if your subordinates make significant contributions in the future, you may pass the manuals on to them."
After listening, Feng Mochuan and Li Qi were both greatly excited.
Silver Level cultivation techniques, martial techniques, body techniques
They received the entire set directly.
Praise the world’s best boss!
"By immersing your Spiritual Power into them, you can directly grasp the manuals," Qin Tian stated.
Each inheritance jade slip contained three strands of Divine Thought. By immersing Spiritual Power into it, Divine Thought would automatically integrate into the spirit, engraving the manual’s content deeply into the brain.
Once the three strands of Divine Thought were consumed, the jade slip would become useless.
In the future, if they wished to pass on the cultivation techniques, it would have to be done through oral teaching or other methods.
He himself first consumed one strand of Divine Thought from each jade slip, mastering the three manuals, leaving just enough for Feng Mochuan and Li Qi.
"Yes!"
The two of them controlled their Spiritual Power, each one in turn touched the jade slip, absorbing the manual’s content.
After ten minutes, all three manuals were mastered.
"Thank you, boss!"
Feng Mochuan said excitedly. With this cultivation technique, he had absolute confidence in breaking through to Tier Six, a realm he had dreamed of and which was now within reach.
"Boss, I’ll also cultivate diligently and strive to break through to Tier Six as soon as possible," Li Qi added.
He didn’t want to fall too far behind Feng Mochuan.
"Yes, take these elixirs too."
Saying this, Qin Tian took out a few bottles of elixirs and handed them to the two, some enhancing cultivation speed, some strengthening Spiritual Energy, and others reinforcing physique. These were gifts from genius families in gratitude for his generosity.
There were quite a few, more than he could use in the short term. It was better to share a portion with the two Night Demons to quickly boost their strength, so in the future—
They could shoulder even more important tasks.
"Gah gah gah~"
"These elixirs are..."
Qin Tian detailed the names and effects of the elixirs. Upon hearing this, the two became even more thrilled, their eyes almost tearing up.
The boss was too considerate of them.
"And also."
Qin Tian further took out a longsword and a dagger, both spiritual artifact equipment obtained from the Genius Battle, perfectly matching the two’s commonly used weapons.
There’s more!!!
The two exchanged glances, at a loss for words.
"Two spiritual artifact-level weapons are now entrusted to you."
Qin Tian pushed the weapons towards them.
Picking up the weapons, feeling the extraordinary power within, Feng Mochuan and Li Qi felt their chests fill with enthusiasm and the spirit of oxen and horses burning fiercely.
The boss placed such emphasis on them.
Next, they had to put in tenfold effort to repay the boss’s trust and nurturing.
