Lin Ge thought for a moment, then shook his head.
Seeing Lin Ge shake his head, a trace of disappointment flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. This was the only thing he could do at present. If it could not heal his injuries, then there was truly no way.
“Young Master, the effect of this medicinal liquid is very weak. If I could take one vial tomorrow, it would still take at least a year to recover.” Lin Ge considered and said. Though the effect was feeble, it was certainly no ordinary item. Lin Ge felt that if it required one vial per day, Li Feng absolutely could not produce them.
“What if ten vials a day, or twenty?” Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. The effect was not strong, but it relied on quantity.
“Young Master, with ten vials a day, I could recover in three months. Any more than that, and I would not be able to absorb it.” Lin Ge thought and replied, but shock flickered in his eyes. Could Li Feng really produce ten vials a day?
Though he did not know the value of this liquid, from the effect of the single vial he had just taken, it would likely cost at least several hundred points at the Ancient Warriors Association. With such great value, would Li Feng expend it on a servant like him?
“Three months? How long would it take you to recover to the Innate Realm?” Li Feng asked.
“With sufficient liquid, at least one month.” Lin Ge replied.
“One month is enough.” Li Feng nodded in satisfaction. In one month, he would already have gone to participate in the Fist King Championship, but having an Innate Realm expert stationed in Tianhai City would save him much trouble.
Moreover, in one month, if Lu Shuang could break through to the Innate Realm, he would have two Innate Realm experts among his subordinates.
Two Innate Realm experts, plus the Blood Kill Twin Eagles, might not compare to a first-rate family, but would at least surpass a third-rate one.
“Let us go.” Li Feng said to Lin Ge and Lu Shuang.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Feng brought everyone to the training base.
“Li Feng, they are…?” Seeing Li Feng return, Ge Feng hurried to greet him. He knew the strength of Li Feng and the Blood Kill Twin Eagles, but he had been very worried about Li Feng.
“This is Lu Shuang, this is Lin Ge. They are experts I recruited.” Li Feng pointed to Lu Shuang and Lin Ge. He would not mention the Divine Control Technique.
“Oh, hello.” Ge Feng was momentarily stunned. He sensed that Lu Shuang and Lin Ge, like the Blood Kill Twin Eagles, had been controlled by Li Feng through some method. Otherwise, they would not be so respectful. But Ge Feng did not pry. Everyone had their own secrets. This was probably Li Feng’s.
“Tian Lang, take Lu Shuang and Lin Ge to collect cultivation resources.” Li Feng said to Tian Lang. The current resources were one vial of Foundation Solidifying liquid per day. Though inferior to the Foundation Solidifying Pill, it was far better than directly consuming raw resources. More importantly, it was inexpensive and highly effective for Postnatal Realm warriors.
“Yes.”
An hour later, Li Feng bid farewell to Ge Feng and the others, then brought Lu Shuang and Lin Ge to Tianya Pavilion.
With the Blood Kill Twin Eagles and the Ge siblings at the training base, plus his own arrangements there, even an Innate Realm expert could not breach it. Tianya Pavilion was different. It lacked strong company experts, and he felt uneasy.
Moreover, there was the elusive Old Lu at Tianya Pavilion. From the last attack on Hu Yuanyuan until now, Old Lu had remained out of sight, which made Li Feng highly vigilant towards him.
Li Feng knew Old Lu was no simple figure. He followed them with a purpose, and his unpredictable appearances meant no one knew what he was doing. How could Li Feng feel at ease?
Thus, Li Feng planned to station Lu Shuang at Tianya Pavilion and Lin Ge at Linghe Garden. Linghe Garden was nearly complete. It was time to move in, as Tianya Pavilion was too small and inconvenient for everything.
Even if Old Lu had ulterior motives, with Lin Ge at Linghe Garden, he could at least hold out for a while.
“Young Master.”
As soon as Li Feng finished arranging Lu Shuang and the others, Zhong Shuhui found him.
“Has something happened these past two days?” Li Feng asked gravely. He had been away from Tianya Pavilion for two days. Though he had recovered his strength, his greatest concern was the situation with Blood Shadow and the others.
“Yes.” Zhong Shuhui nodded solemnly. “Young Master, the most important matter now is Fengyuan Group. Something major has happened there.”
Thinking of what had occurred at Fengyuan Group over the past two days, if Li Feng had not instructed before leaving that she must not disturb him no matter what, she might have already gone to the training base to find him. But now that Li Feng had come to Tianya Pavilion, Zhong Shuhui could not wait.
“What happened?” Li Feng asked.
“A wave of resignations has hit Fengyuan Group.” Zhong Shuhui said gravely. “Over thirty percent of the staff have already resigned.”
“So many?” Li Feng’s expression darkened. From the moment the first person resigned at Fengyuan Group, he had known many would follow, but he had not expected the opponent’s influence to be so strong as to cause such mass departures.
“It seems the mole inside Fengyuan Group is no ordinary figure.” A cold glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
Li Feng knew such an event could not be separated from the mole within Fengyuan Group. Without the mole stirring trouble, given the current state of the company, so many would not resign.
“Zhong Shuhui, have you found out who it is?” Li Feng asked gravely.
Zhong Shuhui softly spoke a name.
“I did not expect it to be him.” A cold glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. He had never imagined the mole in Fengyuan Group would be that person.
“Young Master, shall we have him captured?” Cold light flickered in Zhong Shuhui’s eyes. She fully understood the importance of Fengyuan Group to Li Feng. Someone trying to sabotage it was something she could not tolerate.
“No need.” A surge of impulse to capture him rose in Li Feng, but he quickly shook his head. “Zhong Shuhui, this mole is not the mastermind. Capturing him would bring us no benefit.”
“Young Master intends to play a long game to catch the big fish?” A sharp glint flashed in Zhong Shuhui’s eyes as she nodded. “Young Master is right. The true mastermind behind the scenes is the most important. If we cannot find him, our troubles will not be resolved.”
“That is only one reason.” Li Feng nodded.
“Then what is Young Master’s other purpose?” Zhong Shuhui asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Because I want to lure out Blood Shadow.” Li Feng said gravely.
“Lure out Blood Shadow? How is that possible?” Zhong Shuhui shook her head. Those sabotaging Fengyuan Group were after Intelligent One. Blood Shadow’s mission was solely to kill Li Feng. He had no interest in things like Intelligent One.
“Nothing is impossible. The key is having sufficient bait.” Li Feng said gravely.
“Bait? What bait does Young Master plan to use?” Zhong Shuhui was stunned.
Li Feng softly explained his plan.
Hearing it, shock flickered in Zhong Shuhui’s eyes. She had not expected Li Feng to offer something so important to draw out Blood Shadow. She believed that once Blood Shadow received the information, he would certainly not let it pass.
“Moreover, Blood Shadow wants me to fall into despair before killing me. Sabotaging Fengyuan Group is one way to achieve that. This is our opportunity.” A cold glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
“However, Young Master, preparing this will likely take several days. During that time, can Blood Shadow hold back?” Zhong Shuhui asked with some hesitation.
“If he cannot, that would be even better.” Li Feng smiled, completely unconcerned. “The places Blood Shadow can strike are limited: the suburban training base, Tianya Pavilion, Linghe Garden, the hospital, and Fengyuan Group itself. The training base need not worry. After the last attack, I set up many defences. With the Ge siblings, the Blood Kill Twin Eagles, and two squads of the Black Eagle Team, even an Innate Realm expert could be held off for some time. Linghe Garden currently has only the inner guards. I will arrange for Lin Ge to go there shortly, but since both the inner guards and Lin Ge are new, Blood Shadow is unlikely to target it. Tianya Pavilion has me and Lu Shuang. If Blood Shadow dares come, I will make him pay a heavy price.”
“So if Blood Shadow wants to act now, his options are Fengyuan Group or the hospital. Fengyuan Group is already the trap I designed. Even if Blood Shadow strikes there, he will gain nothing. If he wants to move early, only the hospital remains. But do not forget, next to us lives Jin Xiaoya, the eldest miss of the Jin family. Jin Songyang has stationed many experts around her. If Blood Shadow acts at the hospital, will the Jin family experts think their target is Hu Yuanyuan? After all, Hu Yuanyuan’s ward is on the floor above Jin Xiaoya’s.” Li Feng said gravely.
“No wonder Young Master stationed so few people at the hospital. You intended to make use of the Jin family’s forces.” Zhong Shuhui suddenly understood.
“It is not exactly making use. Jin Songyang cannot possibly be unaware of this.” Li Feng shook his head. The matter was tacit between him and Jin Songyang. Otherwise, with Jin Songyang’s intelligence, he could not fail to see Li Feng’s purpose.
Moreover, in a place like a hospital, Blood Shadow could not mobilise as many people as last time. After all, the authorities would not turn a blind eye.
“So Young Master was prepared all along. However, Young Master, Xu Qing is at Fengyuan Group. If Blood Shadow targets her…” As leader of Eagle Eye, Zhong Shuhui could not be unaware of Xu Qing’s relationship with Li Feng. She worried Blood Shadow might strike at Xu Qing.
“That is true.” Li Feng was stunned. He had somewhat forgotten Xu Qing’s presence. She was his woman. Though few knew of their relationship, there were no impenetrable walls in the world. It was not impossible for Blood Shadow to target her.
“It seems some things should be discussed with Xu Qing.” A sharp glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes as a sense of wariness rose in his heart.
