Inside the conference room on Sanjiao Island, more than twenty people were already waiting.

This time, with no lord present, the inner city's formations were not activated.

It was truly fortunate that they were able to escape danger in the end.

Moreover, although Ye Feng had dealt with the sea beasts at the port in front, there were still quite a few scattered sea beasts in the other two directions.

All the major fleets and families made a fortune.

You should know that in the past, capturing so many sea creatures would have required traveling for several days to distant, deep-sea areas.

The journey was not only long, but also extremely dangerous.

Now that people are sitting at home, sea monsters are swimming over. Aside from a few losses for the poor who have no way to escape, everyone is basically a beneficiary. Therefore, the atmosphere in the meeting room is quite cheerful...

When Ye Feng and his companion entered, everyone composed themselves and stood respectfully to the side.

Without any ceremony, he went straight to the head seat and sat down on either side of Xiao Xuan.

He glanced around the room, and everyone bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

After Ye Feng nodded, Zhang He immediately presented him with several rings.

"Reporting to True Lord Li, there are a total of thirty-two demon cores, 1,500 pieces of processed leather, and..."

"In addition, there are nearly one billion catties of meat stored in the territory's cold storage. As for the costs of hiring people to process and retrieve it, the entrails of sea monsters were used to offset the debt..."

After Zhang He finished speaking, Ye Feng turned his gaze to the other two.

Although they were said to be two people, they were actually looking more at Ren Hongling.

When another male cultivator saw Ye Feng looking at him, he stammered,

"Reporting...to senior, it is...so it is!"

Ren Hongling, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but nodded slightly.

Ye Feng then looked at Zhang He.

"Well done, thank you!"

"We should thank you for saving our lives, sir. This is what we should do."

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Zhang He also breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the lord is gone, if a Nascent Soul cultivator has any other ambitions, then no one can stop him.

"Oh right, didn't we say there would be some kind of reward?"

Hearing this, Zhang He's face showed a bitter expression again.

"Reporting to your Excellency, neither our lord nor our deputy lord has returned, and the inner treasury cannot be opened..."

Your lord has turned into shit!

It seems we won't be able to get the money back.

What worries Ye Feng even more now is that billion catties of meat.

Some Golden Core sea beasts weigh tens of thousands of kilograms each.

Take the snake demon that Ye Feng killed, for example; it couldn't even fit in one ring.

With so much meat, it would take several magic-grade flying boats to move it...

Normally, a Nascent Soul cultivator like him should have at least a few rings with a volume of several thousand cubic meters, right?

But in reality, all of his rings were stolen from the Heavenly Demon Sect... Black Crow Master also made a contribution.

"Are any of you interested in this meat?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, but they didn't know what price to offer, and for a moment, no one dared to speak first.

"I wonder what price Senior Li intends to offer for it?"

In the end, it was Ren Hongling who spoke up. The others didn't know Ye Feng's temperament, but she did.

Even though Ye Feng was bossed around by Gesang while on the ship, he never lost his temper. He even left behind a fake-core demon beast as payment before leaving.

How could such a person be capricious and commit crimes because of his words?

What is the normal wholesale price?

"Normally, the wholesale price is 50%, but if it's sold to the inland areas, it can be sold for around 80%!"

After Ren Hongling finished speaking, many people below couldn't help but change their expressions drastically.

Isn't this just handing over all their savings? How are they supposed to make any money then?

But before they could refute her, Ren Hongling continued.

"However, transporting goods inland involves significant manpower and material resources, plus potential risks; only a 25% profit margin would motivate anyone to go."

Moreover, the senior obtained far too much beast meat during this beast tide; even a medium-sized sect couldn't process it all in a short time. They'll probably need to travel to even more distant places... and the price will have to drop by another ten percent!

Hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Feng nodded. Buying and selling goods naturally requires following the principles of supply and demand; it's only natural that prices drop when there's an abundance of goods.

"Alright, 45 percent. If you can take it all, I'll sell it to you directly!"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, everyone was initially overjoyed, but then their faces all showed bitterness.

One billion catties of meat, nearly 20% of which is at the Golden Core or Foundation Establishment level, would probably cost over two billion spirit stones. Even if the price were reduced by another 20%, let alone 45%, nobody would have that much money...

Seeing that everyone hesitated and remained silent, Ye Feng could only look at Ren Hongling.

Ren Hongling pondered for a moment, then said cautiously,

"Sanjiao Territory is merely on the edge of the sea, and we... are afraid we don't have enough spirit stones. If you could help us get the goods to sell in advance..."

Ren Hongling knew that this request was a bit excessive, so she stopped halfway through her sentence.

The fleet owners below, however, had their eyes shining and nodded repeatedly.

Ye Feng rolled his eyes, speechless.

You might as well just let me give it to you. I'm not planning to live here anyway. Do you expect me to wait for you to sell it all and then come to me for payment?

But their lack of money is also a problem.

One billion jin of meat, if all of it were put together, would probably amount to nearly ten thousand cubic meters.

It took him more than a day to make a belt with a volume of 400 cubic meters.

Even if Ye Feng upgrades his weapon crafting skill by one level and creates a ring with a capacity of one hundred, he would still need dozens of them...

Moreover, storing meat in a ring is never as good as having a complete preservation system like that of an airship.

You can't take it with you... You can't take it with you...

If it were something like a small, durable item, like the one inside a ring...

Thinking of this, Ye Feng's eyes lit up!
