Wei Jun knew those negotiations would break down easily. It was never going to be an option, but he thought he could sway her decision with monster corpses. However, the info on Wei Jun was much more important than that. After all, if she could find a way to control Wei Jun, she would have a very, very strong person with amazing potential on her side.
[But you cannot make her choose otherwise]
Of course, that wasn't the only option he had or the only offer he had to make. He could kill the soldiers who went in with him and spread lies on the outside, and eventually, after she had lost many, General Ming would have no choice but to cave.
But Wei Jun's opponent wasn't General Ming because she wasn't the entire military. Even under contract, the military could retaliate against him. Just having immunity didn't an he could do whatever he wanted and whenever he wanted. It simply ant he wouldn't be persecuted in the event he killed soone by mistake or in self-defense. Killing just because he could wouldn't be allowed, even if he was granted the license to kill. Suppose such a thing existed anyway.
The second option to offer more wasn't enough. If he showed her a treasure not obtainable to others, he might end up increasing his worth to her, and if she was the one to think long term, not just short term, then it was useless to even consider that option.
Wei Jun left the building and returned to the spot where his helicopter was prepared to take him ho. It was still noon, so he went to his villa to take a shower. And once he was nice and clean, he went to pick up so money from Yue Peng along with leaving her with so materials which he thought she might like.
And like she did…
"Where did you get all of this?" Yue Peng asked as she saw higher-ranked Miasma cores and monster remains. Of course, he didn't give her the lizard corpses but the purified at he got from the sorcerer lizards. The at from the green lizards he obtained through the system wasn't purified, and the boss lizard was too good to just give it up to her. Instead, he decided to give her that one and kept the good one for himself.
"Can you sell it?" Wei Jun asked.
"Can I sell it?" Yue Peng asked before she answered on her own, "Of course I can."
"But…" Wei Jun felt like a 'but' was coming, so he asked.
"But do we even want to sell this? Eating this ourselves would increase our forces' strength." Yue Peng suggested. She wasn't wrong, which was a very valid point. No matter how much he needed money, increasing his own forces would have been a better option.
He initially planned to purify the at he already had combined with the one he'd obtained from the corpses. However, now he was interested in another view, which was Yue Peng's.
"So if I had purified and unpurified, which one should I sell?" Wei Jun asked.
"If you have unpurified at, then the story changes altogether," Yue Peng said.
[Because of the price drop]
[It'd be much more easier to purify it yourself]
As the system suggested, Yue Peng said the said thing, "If we sell unpurified at on the market, its price will drop by at least half, if not more. But if we can sohow obtain a mage who could purify the at for us, it'd be much more better."
"You require a mage for that?" Wei Jun asked.
He thought he could do it by himself or with Qi, but the last he ate, he ate unpurified at, which Death Qi digested, so there were no effects.
[Only a mage can do that]

[Or a holy cultivator]
'Any mage can?' Wei Jun asked, rembering a certain subordinate of his with good connections in information networks.
"Yes. A mage with enough knowledge could learn a purifying spell. Although attribute would also matter, it's not like a fire mage cannot learn the holy attributed spell. Only effectiveness would drop, but considering we're not asking for much, it'd be sufficient." Yue Peng explained in great detail.
[As she said]
Wei Jun nodded in response. He decided to change the thod then. He pulled out the unpurified at of the green lizards and stacked it on top of the table.
He then stored it all, along with the other stuff, in a spatial ring and gave it to Yue Peng, "Pardon the ss."
Yue Peng couldn't care less about little blood or ss on her carpet when there was such a treasure in front of her eyes.
"Is… Is this fo-for ?" Yue Peng asked. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Wei Jun nodded and said, "I hope you'll make good use of it."
"Leave it to !" Yue Peng yelled as she practically snatched the ring from Wei Jun and wore it on her hand. Her cultivation had increased by a good bit, and Wei Jun was happy with it because not only that increased his forces but also because he obtained bonus stats because of it.
"Now," Wei Jun decided to move on to the other matters at hand, "What about these?"
As he dropped many, many D and C rank miasma cores on the table, Yue Peng's jaw opened so much a flashlight could be inserted without resistance.
"Sell the D rank ones and use the others to increase the strength of our forces. Keep focus on those I've ntioned." Wei Jun instructed before he said, "Also, I need money."
Yue Peng managed to collect herself when Wei Jun relayed instructions. It was safe to assu that Yue Peng ran half of his company so she'd have more accounts of earnings than he did. Yue Peng nodded, and without asking about what he did with the money he got from her before, she arranged for three cards and gave them to Wei Jun. Each of them contained 100 billion yuan, which, to her, should have been enough, but it wasn't for Wei Jun.
"How soon can you procure ten tis more?" Wei Jun asked.
"You an 3 trillion?" Yue Peng asked.
"Yeah," Wei Jun replied.
"Ten minutes, perhaps?" Yue Peng said before she stood up and said, "Those are the earnings from just legal matters. I have yet to give you the other one. And trust , ten tis, no, even twenty tis wouldn't make a dent in what we're about to earn."
Wei Jun nodded with a smile and followed Yue Peng. She took him to her desk and opened the overseas accounts on her computer. As she showed the amount of wealth she had amassed, Wei Jun was so pleased he decided to reward her.
"How soon can you arrange all of it in cash?" Wei Jun asked.
"Cash carries risk, though. Are you sure?" Yue Peng asked. Cash could be traced, so she wanted Wei Jun to be careful, but she didn't know that the place where he'd spend that money wouldn't be able to be traced by no power on earth.
"Don't worry about that. Just do it." Wei Jun said before he pulled out a pair of eyes and an A rank green lizard's miasma core, "Use it for yourself. As for the eyes, make a weapon of your choice from them. I'm sure you'll know of a good artisan."
With trembling hands, Yue Peng picked up the A rank lizard core, her words stuck in her mouth. The darker and bigger a core was, the stronger the monster it belonged to.
"Wha—What rank is it?" She couldn't help but ask. She had a feeling she held a treasure in her hands, and her suspicions beca true as she heard Wei Jun simply utter, "A."
She almost dropped it but managed to collect herself. Imdiately putting it in her ring, she looked at Wei Jun with incredulous eyes.
"Ho-How did you get one?" She asked.
"How else would I? By hunting a monster." Wei Jun replied. "And you obtained it from just one monster?" Yue Peng asked, and the way she looked at Wei Jun made him have questions of his own.
[Not every corpse contains a core host]
[I assure you you might not even find one in all of the corpses in your inventory]
[Especially such high ranks]
[You're an anomaly who gets it from the system]
[There might not be that many A rank cores out there]
Now Wei Jun understood the line of questioning Yue Peng had. He decided to ignore her and said, "Just train with it. You don't need to sell it anyway."
"WHY WOULD I EVER SELL IT?!!!!" Yue Peng scread as if Wei Jun had said sothing worthy of the death penalty. Wei Jun looked at her with a corked eyebrow, and once she realized her mistake, she coughed and said, "I-I will have your money prepared in three days."
Wei Jun nodded and left. That much money, and more to co from Lin Ruan, would be enough to purchase a body cultivation technique. Or at least he hoped so.
'Well, let's see what surprises she has in store for ,' Wei Jun thought as he headed in the Ruan Enterprises' direction.
