If Han Feng gives 100,000 low-grade immortal jades to the two immortal cities, then the small families within the cities will give at least 200,000 low-grade immortal jades.
Leng Hanmei obtained a total of one million low-grade immortal jades from the raids. It wouldn't be difficult for these small families to contribute one-fifth of that.
Both immortal cities will definitely accept them all, and when it comes to helping, they will definitely choose the one that gives more immortal jade.
By this time, after the Tianhuang Daoist and Leng Hanmei's sanctions, there were very few so-called native families left in Lihuang City.
"The emerging families that Desolate City is supporting must be brought under our control," Han Feng said.
“No problem. There are fewer than ten original local families left, including the Cheng family, the Zhu family, and the Zhao family,” Leng Hanmei nodded.
The complete eradication of 150 small and medium-sized families requires a lot of work to be done and has had a significant impact.
Leng Hanmei needed time to resolve the issue, so she left Han Feng's location to deal with it.
"One million low-grade immortal jades seem like a lot, but they're not enough for me. At most, they'll allow me to break through to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm," Han Feng predicted.
Reaching the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm was not enough for him.
If Han Feng were facing a Golden Immortal, his cultivation level should be sufficient.
But next he faced five or six Golden Immortals, some of whom were descendants of True Spirits, whose strength was even more formidable.
Moreover, Han Feng's cultivation techniques are not particularly advantageous compared to those of the immortals.
The only cultivation technique he can practice is the Undying Technique; all other techniques have no further development.
Han Feng's ability to fight opponents of higher levels is at most equivalent to a late-stage Celestial Immortal fighting against an early-stage Golden Immortal.
At most, they are in an undefeated position when facing a mid-stage Golden Immortal.
If he encountered a late-stage Golden Immortal, Han Feng was thinking about how to escape.
Only by raising his cultivation to the level of Golden Immortal can the current crisis be alleviated.
Han Feng had always wanted to switch to a better cultivation method, but he lacked the time and opportunity.
The Refining Spirit Technique is another crisis, and subsequent cultivation methods must also be found.
"This million low-grade immortal jades are already the limit for the Desolate City. We can only obtain immortal jades outside the city."
Han Feng had a headache.
Obtaining immortal jade outside the city is also quite difficult.
The main industry of the desolate city is hunting monsters in the Great Wilderness, obtaining their inner cores, flesh, fur, fangs, etc.
The inner core is the essence of a demon beast and can be used to refine elixirs.
The flesh and blood can be made into delicious dishes, which are said to enhance one's cultivation and prolong life.
Fur and fangs can be used as materials for crafting magical artifacts and formations.
The first beast tide is about to occur in less than two months.
The hunting team members who had left the desolate city were gradually withdrawn back into the city.
This source of income has essentially disappeared.
Even if Han Feng can kill many, it will still take time to sell them, and it's difficult for the Immortal Jade to recoup its cost immediately.
"I'll temporarily raise my cultivation to the late stage of Celestial Immortal. Whether I can advance to Golden Immortal depends on some fortuitous opportunities."
Han Feng has 1.2 million low-grade immortal jades, enough for 12 life simulations.
He spent all twelve of these life simulations undergoing rigorous self-cultivation.
Finally, he broke through to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, and it was no longer possible for him to advance any further.
Just then.
"Master, the people from those two immortal cities are here again. This time they're coming with great force. We must make a decision." Hu Qiqing's voice came from outside the door.
"I'll go and see for myself."
"Alright then, my master probably won't be able to buy much time."
Han Feng realized that the two largest immortal cities nearby must be the targets of his extortion efforts, and that Lihuang City was definitely not the only one.
If the two of them returned from another immortal city, they might be carrying a large amount of immortal jade.
The Tianxuan Immortal Kingdom has no explicit rule that allows them to extort Han Feng, but not Han Feng to extort them.
"I hope these two have enough immortal jade, so I can break through to the Golden Immortal realm."
Han Feng walked towards the city lord's reception hall, having already decided how to deal with the people from the Immortal City.
...
Inside the luxuriously decorated main hall.
The air was filled with the aroma of wine and meat, and the table was laden with all sorts of delicacies.
There were nine people in the main hall. Apart from the city lord Leng Hanmei, the other eight were from Lihuang City and Tianyu City.
"Distinguished guests from Tianyu City and Huangyuan City, your arrival is rather sudden. We apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality in Huangyuan City," Leng Hanmei said with a smile.
"Hmph!" A delicate and beautiful woman sneered, "I didn't expect you to have any self-awareness. Your Desolate City is the poorest among the surrounding immortal cities. Look at what's on this table."
"And who is this?" Leng Hanmei's smile froze.
"What's wrong? Did I misunderstand you?" Song Jiajia showed no mercy.
“This is Song Jiajia, the daughter of the city lord of Tianyu City. She is usually pampered and spoiled. The food in this desolate city is very bad.”
A burly man with mid-stage Celestial Immortal cultivation directly chose to stand on Song Jiajia's side.
The meaning is quite clear: you can take action if you want, but only if you get past me.
"We won't bother with City Lord Leng's hospitality. You should know the purpose of our trip. Give us 50,000 low-grade immortal jades so we can go back and carry out our orders."
Bai Wei, the pale-faced scholar from the desolate city, showed no intention of sitting at the dining table.
“Fellow Daoists, you are not in a hurry. The two of you together have 100,000 low-grade immortal jades. That’s a lot of low-grade immortal jades, and it will take some time to gather them.” Leng Hanmei’s expression turned very ugly.
She never expected that the people from the two immortal cities would be so disrespectful.
This reminded Leng Hanmei of someone: Han Feng.
"Stop making excuses. I see you don't want to give it to the Desolate City. It doesn't matter if you don't give it. If something happens to you in the Desolate City, don't blame us." Song Jiajia interrupted.
“I would say the same thing,” Bai Wei echoed.
"Since the two people from the Immortal City are so disrespectful, then I won't give them this low-grade immortal jade." Leng Hanmei refused directly.
Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone the once ruthless leader of the Heartless Sect.
"Tie San, capture this woman! I'm going to smear her face! No one can dare to disrespect Tianyu City like this!" Song Jiajia roared.
"Yes, Miss!"
A burly man with mid-stage Celestial Immortal cultivation attacked Leng Hanmei fiercely.
Leng Hanmei's face instantly lost its color; her late-stage True Immortal cultivation was no match for Tie San.
"Come over here obediently, and you'll suffer less."
"My young lady just wants to scratch your face. If you obey, your face might be spared; if you don't, your life will be in danger."
"Ironman said coldly."
"You people from both of your immortal cities have gone too far. This is Lihuang City." Hu Qiqing could no longer hold back.
"What are you doing in here? Get out right now!"
Leng Hanmei quickly called out.
"I never expected that such a vast city like Lihuang would have two beauties. I find their faces very unpleasant to look at, and I'm going to scrape them all off later." Song Jiajia's lips curled into a cruel smile.
