671: Chapter 671 The Spring Breeze Remains Silent, Following One's Heart

The two returned to Changsheng Technology Island.

Inside the manor.

"Lena, tell Manager Lie Ge to come over tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Lord Special Envoy."

Late at night.

Xiao Weiqing sat cross-legged in mid-air, bathed in starlight, as he Cultivated the Star Contemplation Method, feeling incomparably relaxed and peaceful.

At this moment.

Xiao Weiqing no longer thought about those no. 4 longevity potions, formulas, indi people, Celestials, or evaluation tasks; he cast everything out of his mind, simply following his true heart.

The night passed without incident.

...

The next day.

Morning.

Lena led Manager Lie Ge over.

"Lord Special Envoy, you called for me."

"Mhm, let's talk about the no. 4 longevity potion and the formula."

Manager Lie Ge's eyes lit up at those words, and he tentatively asked, "Lord Special Envoy, do you know where those 30,000 portions of the no. 4 longevity potion and the formula are?"

"I know, they are right in my hands."

"Then—"

"You need to do two things, and I can hand those 30,000 portions of the no. 4 longevity potion over to you, allowing Longevity Potion Company to get through tomorrow's crisis."

"Please give your instructions, Lord Special Envoy."

Manager Lie Ge quickly said that as long as they could get through tomorrow's difficulty and the matter wasn't poked up to the Holy Land, let alone two things, even twenty, Manager Lie Ge would do them.

"First, hand over the No. 3 and no. 4 longevity potion formulas mastered by you and Jiuxin."

"This—"

Manager Lie Ge hesitated.

"Lord Special Envoy, dare I ask what you want the formula for? The longevity tree simply cannot be cultivated outside the Longevity Star System," Manager Lie Ge carefully reminded him, thinking that Xiao Weiqing wanted to secure benefits for himself or the civilization behind him.

"You're thinking too much."

Xiao Weiqing glanced coldly at Manager Lie Ge and continued:

"Second, Longevity Potion Company will issue a public announcement that the production of No. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions will cease immediately."

"No."

"Lord Special Envoy, this must never be done."

Manager Lie Ge blurted out, a look of horror surfacing on his face. He hadn't expected Xiao Weiqing's demands to be more terrifying than the last.

Not only did he want the formula, but he also wanted to halt production of the No. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions.

"Manager Lie Ge, I am not discussing this with you. If you do as I ask, I can hand those 30,000 portions of the no. 4 longevity potion over to you; otherwise, tomorrow you will deal with those factions yourselves."

"Once problems arise for you all—"

"—I will use the identity of the Lord Special Envoy to strip you and Jiuxin of your positions and take over Longevity Potion Company."

Manager Lie Ge hurriedly said, "Lord Special Envoy, it's not that I'm unwilling, but it's truly impossible to do. Even if I agree, Jiuxin won't agree, and the several Celestials of the Holy Land won't agree either."

"Those interstellar merchants representing the Immortals and Celestials will agree even less, as they have already obtained the operational rights."

Hearing this,

Xiao Weiqing let out a cold snort.

"Representing the Immortals? Representing the Celestials?"

"Then who do you think I represent?"

Manager Lie Ge suddenly raised his head.

Remembering that the young man in front of him was the Lord Special Envoy, the true Lord Special Envoy who represented the Holy Land.

It was just that this Lord Special Envoy had rarely managed matters in the past two months, only taking a trip to Longevity Planet No. 1 for a routine inspection.

Coupled with the fact that the young man before him had emphasized more than once that he would not interfere with the operation of their company, it caused him to forget that this Lord Special Envoy actually held immense power in his hands.

"Lord Special Envoy, is this the meaning of the Holy Land?"

"You don't need to know. Just do as I say."

"Manager Lie Ge, if there are no 30,000 portions of the no. 4 longevity potion, what do you think your end will be?"

"Furthermore, one-third of the no. 4 longevity potion formula is also lost. I can completely report to the Holy Land right now and report the current situation of Longevity Potion Company. If it's like this, what do you think your end will be?"

Manager Lie Ge's tone choked, and cold sweat poured out. No matter which situation it was, they wouldn't have it easy; they would be discarded like chess pieces, and there was only one end—death.

"Let's go."

"Take me to get the formula."

Manager Lie Ge was somewhat dazed and could only obey orders.

The two quickly arrived at the headquarters of Longevity Potion Company.

Manager Lie Ge did not resist and handed the No. 3 and no. 4 longevity potion formulas he kept to Xiao Weiqing.

"There are no backups, right?"

"Reporting to the Lord Special Envoy, the backups have already been destroyed."

"Mhm, go get the other third."

The two found Jiuxin.

"Impossible, don't even think about it."

Jiuxin said furiously.

When he heard Manager Lie Ge say to hand over the No. 3 and no. 4 longevity potion formulas, Jiuxin thought Manager Lie Ge had gone mad.

But next,

when Manager Lie Ge spoke of halting production of the No. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions, Jiuxin thought Manager Lie Ge was digging his own grave.

"Jiuxin, this is the meaning of the Lord Special Envoy."

Jiuxin's expression froze. He looked at Xiao Weiqing, and recalling yesterday's murderous intent, a trace of fear inevitably rose in his heart.

After thinking for a moment,

Jiuxin still braced himself and said, "Lord Special Envoy, you have the strength and the right to do this, but I still hope you think it through clearly."

"Bang~"

With a muffled sound,

Xiao Weiqing directly made a move, kicking Jiuxin flying with one kick, and said condescendingly:

"Manager Jiuxin, I am not discussing this with you."

Jiuxin lowered his head, his face turning green and white in turns, a fierce glint flashing deep in his eyes. He hadn't expected Xiao Weiqing to directly resort to violence; no matter what, he was still one of the three giants of Longevity Potion Company.

Xiao Weiqing sneered inwardly; this Jiuxin really took himself seriously.

"Jiuxin, hand it over. Let's get through tomorrow's difficulty first before talking about anything else."

The situation was unfavorable, and no matter how unwilling Jiuxin was, he had no choice and could only hand over the formula.

Having obtained the formula, Xiao Weiqing left the headquarters of Longevity Potion Company.

"Lord Special Envoy, what about those 30,000 portions of the no. 4 longevity potion?" Manager Lie Ge followed him out.

"I will be there tomorrow."

"What you need to confirm now is the other 30,000 portions of the no. 4 longevity potion."

"Please rest assured, Lord Special Envoy, the remaining no. 4 longevity potions are all with me."

Manager Lie Ge had not agreed to Jiuxin's plan; he hadn't left the 30,000 portions of the no. 4 longevity potion in his hands to the Celestials, but instead tightly controlled them in his own hands.

The next day.

Changsheng Technology Island became lively once again, seemingly unaffected by the incident on Longevity Planet No. 1 the day before yesterday.

True to his word, Xiao Weiqing produced the 30,000 portions of the no. 4 longevity potion, letting the various factions leave satisfied.

Afterwards,

Manager Lie Ge found Xiao Weiqing.

"Lord Special Envoy, when will the announcement you mentioned be published?"

"At three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Alright, I understand."

Soon,

at three o'clock in the afternoon,

the various factions that had just completed transactions with Longevity Potion Company received an email.

The email was very simple.

"Starting from today, the production of No. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions by Longevity Potion Company will be halted, while No. 1 and No. 2 Longevity Potions will be supplied normally."

The official announcement of Longevity Potion Company was issued simultaneously.

As soon as this announcement came out, the various factions directly blew their tops, inquiring everywhere, and some even inquired all the way to the Holy Land.

Meanwhile,

over on Xiao Weiqing's side, he wrote a report detailing the events of the past two months and the decisions he made, reporting them to the Holy Land.

"Ding~"

In less than ten minutes, Xiao Weiqing received a reply email.

"So fast?"

Opening the email, there was only a single line of text inside.

"The evaluation is over; return to the Holy Land immediately."

"The evaluation is over?"

"But, it is not completed."

Xiao Weiqing looked at this short line of words and remained motionless for a long time.

After a long while,

Xiao Weiqing sighed and prepared to return to the Holy Land, not knowing what might be waiting for him there.
