Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 71 – Big mouth of the lion!

The noise was nearly deafening!

Ji Xuanming sat silently on the large chair, drinking his wine, unmoved by the furious shouts of his subordinates. He simply stared intently at Bai Jugu and Gu Feng.

He was waiting!

Waiting for the two to yield!

Bai Jugu, with his low cultivation, had some pride, but was still frightened by the surrounding cries of slaughter.

His face had long lost its color, pale as a ghost, his body trembling, nearly collapsing on the spot.

Supporting the unsteady Bai Jugu, Gu Feng gave him a confident look, transmitting, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Bai Jugu nodded absentmindedly, barely managing to stand firm in his embarrassment.

The cries of slaughter in the Cave Dwelling grew louder, yet Ji Xuanming remained unmoved.

Many witch cultivators were already furious, silently stepping forward, just waiting for his command to pounce and tear these two Eastern Region barbarians to pieces.

"If you're going to make a move, do it now!"

With a sudden shout, Gu Feng surveyed his surroundings, his cultivation surging, seven-colored True Core bursting forth, illuminating the entire Cave Dwelling in a dazzling array of colors.

The surrounding witch cultivators, who had been shouting to attack, were suddenly shocked. Gu Feng's cultivation far exceeded theirs, and even with their Gu techniques, this overwhelming power was irresistible.

What surprised them even more was that the True Core Gu Feng released was accompanied by bursts of Buddhist chants, the unique halo of the Buddha's Light of Salvation shimmering in the Cave Dwelling.

This naturally countered the Gu and ghostly ways, causing many people's Gu worms to tremble, making them feel uncomfortable.

In an instant, the witch cultivators closed their mouths, not daring to breathe loudly.

Ji Xuanming also frowned, looking at Gu Feng in surprise, as if facing a formidable enemy, murmuring, "Who are you?"

With a fan appearing in his hand, Gu Feng revealed a proud smile and said, "My surname is Gu, you can call me Mr. Gu."

Gu Feng didn't want to reveal his identity, using a homophonic but different character surname to fool these country bumpkins.

"Mr. Gu...?"

Ji Xuanming squinted his eyes, rising in anger, and asked, "You're not from the Jiang family? Why are you with the Jiang family caravan?"

Lightly shaking the folding fan in his hand, Gu Feng calmly replied, "The City Lord of the Jiang family is a friend of mine. This time, my servant and I happened to come to the Northern Wilderness for business, so we traveled with the Jiang family caravan to take care of them. What's wrong with that?"

With Ji Xuanming's status, he had no chance to interact with Jiang Aonan.

He knew himself that in the eyes of the Jiang family in Yong'an City, the White Tiger Witch's Village was nothing. At this moment, he was left speechless by Gu Feng's retort.

After a pause, Ji Xuanming had to accept the reasonableness of Gu Feng's identity, changing the subject, "You're not from the Jiang family, why get involved in this mess? I advise you not to meddle!"

"I was entrusted by the Jiang family City Lord to take care of the caravan along the way. The caravan's matters are my matters!"

Gu Feng glanced at the surrounding witch cultivators, shaking his head, and continued, "Since it's business, let's stick to business rules. We're not afraid of your threats!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuanming fell silent. He originally intended to give the Jiang family caravan a show of force, to intimidate them, making these Eastern Region cultivators work for him in the future. But he didn't expect a "Mr. Gu" to appear.

With cultivation far above everyone else, only his deceased father and Ji Wenxuan might be able to match him.

The show of force was no longer possible!

He was inwardly lamenting, if not for wanting to undermine Ji Wenxuan's authority, he wouldn't bother with this mess!

"Hmph, fine! Then let's talk business!"

Ji Xuanming picked up his wine bowl, took a sip, and held up three fingers, smirking, "I have three demands. First, the Jiang family caravan can only trade directly with me, Ji Xuanming, and must not associate with that brat Ji Wenxuan!"

"Second, I know your Jiang family gives Ji Wenxuan a ten percent return gift every year. I want thirty percent!"

"Third, and most importantly, starting this year, every ten Qiankun Gu must be exchanged for three hundred medium-grade spirit stones! That's my price!"

Having stated his intentions in one breath, Ji Xuanming was straightforward and direct.

The Cave Dwelling fell silent, not a sound to be heard.

Bai Jugu stared wide-eyed, doubting his ears.

Ji Xuanming's three demands, aside from the first which could be considered, the other two were simply outrageous!

A thirty percent return gift equated to thirty percent of the caravan's profit in the White Tiger Witch's Village. Why would the Jiang family travel such a distance? To work for Ji Xuanming?!

The most outrageous was the third demand, exchanging ten Qiankun Gu for three hundred medium-grade spirit stones! It was outright robbery!

The so-called Qiankun Gu was the most common type of Gu worm in the Northern Wilderness Gu sources. It had no other use, except for its inherent aura of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, making it the best auxiliary material for cultivators to comprehend the rules of the Great Dao and break through their cultivation.

Even so, in the Northern Wilderness, the production rate of this Gu source was the highest, often used to measure equivalent value in transactions.

Typically, ten Qiankun Gu sources could be exchanged for about one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, the standard price.

But Ji Xuanming demanded three hundred medium-grade spirit stones, a rogue act of forcibly raising prices and disrupting market rules!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Bai Jugu shook his head repeatedly, waving his hand, "Such conditions, how could the Jiang family accept? It doesn't follow the rules!"

"Hmph, rules? What rules?!"

Ji Xuanming's eyes were sharp, smirking as he scolded, "My father is about to fall, and the future of the White Tiger Witch's Village will be under my control! From now on, I am the rules!"

Rising and stepping to Bai Jugu's side, Ji Xuanming continued his veiled threat, "The tens of thousands of witch villagers will be my slaves in the future. Only I can decide who they trade their Gu sources with. If you want to take Gu sources back to Yong'an City, you must follow my rules! Otherwise, I guarantee you won't see a single Gu source in the border Witch's Village!"

Bai Jugu gritted his teeth, feeling his weak spot was firmly grasped by the opponent.
