Chapter 572: Jianghu's Bounty

"I called you CEO... Originally, you acquired twenty percent of company shares from selling the secret formulae that you possess to us. Then, you received another twenty percent of company shares from Yap Tianlin. So, you now possess a total of forty percent of the company share!"

"On the other hand, Madam Diana and I each own thirty percent of the company share. With that being said, you are the one that owns the most company shares among us which makes you the CEO of the company! Of course, I am going to call you the CEO or even big boss! It's entirely up to your preference."

"Damn! This is not bad! You should just call me CEO! The powerful CEO! Ahahaha..."

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei signed all three documents. That marked the birth of the company when all three shareholders were set in stone. After that, all three of them went to a restaurant to have their lunch and talked about the future plans of the company at the same time. Madam Diana was going to finance the business, Lan Mengchen would provide the land for the company, Yap Tianlin would be responsible for production, and finally, Chen Xiaobei would provide secret formulae for the company. Considering that Yap Tianlin was kicked out of the game and Chen Xiaobei did not have much time to take care of the business, he decided to leave the management to Madam Diana and Lan Mengchen. With that being said, all he needed to do was wait for the profit to go to him every month.

As for other arrangements, Chen Xiaobei was just listening and chose not to interrupt them. These two women were extremely good at managing stuff. There was nothing that he needed to worry about except something really bad happened.

After lunch, Chen Xiaobei went to the office to chit-chat with Lan Mengchen for a short while. The both of them did not get to spend too much time together because Madam Diana was there with them. Towards the end, Lan Mengchen needed to follow Madam Diana to go to the factory. So, Chen Xiaobei decided to travel back to Bei Xuan Faction.

Now, his priority was to continue growing his voodoo worm. If nothing bad happened to them, all three pair of voodoo worms should grow to possess a special ability after feeding them with something that was mixed with South Pole Spiritual Jade Fruit and medicinal ingredients. Just when Chen Xiaobei decided to take a rest after doing all the things that he needed to do, his cell phone rang.

"Bro Bei! Something big happened!"

Yap Liangchen's voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.

"What's wrong? Say it slowly."

"The Zhuang Family just put up a Jianghu bounty! They will award three billion to whoever that found Black Star Ganorderma!"

"Black Star Ganoderma? I remember that is an extremely rare medicinal ingredient! It can only be grown in an extreme environment. One can only find it deep inside an ancient jungle! Why is the Zhuang Family looking for it?"

"Huangfu Mumin was the one that requested this medicinal ingredient! I heard that he is going to help Zhuang Bifan detoxify the poison in his system! Black Star Ganoderma is the last medicinal ingredient to be combined with the rest."

"What?! Huangfu Mumin is in Dragon City now?"

'Zhuang Bifan's manhood would function again if all the poison is cleared out from his system. By that time, he would definitely force Lan Mengchen to get marry him! It was not easy for me to finally take care of the skincare company matter and get to meet up with my Mengchen every day! Everything that I have done will become meaningless if Zhuang Bifan is cured of the poison!'

"No way! I have to do something stop this from happening! If not, everything that I've done before will be wasted!"

"Tell me more about the bounty! This world is so damn big! There must be a designated area for us to search!"

"There is a designated area for us to look for the Black Heart Ganoderma! This area is located inside the Mount Gloomy Tiger - eight hundred miles north from of Dragon City! An old friend of Huangfu Mumin spotted this Black Star Ganoderma some years ago when he ventured inside this mountain. However, the Black Heart Ganoderma was still young when he spotted it. Plucking it would be pointless."

"Unfortunately, his old friend had passed away. No one really knows the exact location of this Black Star Ganoderma! In the end, they decided to utilize the manpower from Jianghu to look for this fungus on a large scale! It's going to be really dangerous for ordinary human being to look for it inside the mountain and it's not as efficient as well. That is why they decided to ask for help from Jianghu folk!"

"Alright, say no more! Let me pack right now and depart to the mountain immediately!"

With his mind set, there is nothing can change his mind right now.

"Bro Bei, there is no need to rush! Pack first and I will come and pick you up! The Zhuang Family has mobilized five helicopters to send us there to save time!"

"Okay! Let's do this!"

He let out a sigh and thought, 'No wonder the Zhuang Family is the most powerful family in Dragon City. They are making such a huge fuss over their own private matter!"

It was hard for Chen Xiaobei to calm down when he thought about making enemies out of such powerful people. However, fear did not get the best of him. On the contrary, he was getting excited and looking forward to crushing them. Seemingly, he knew that someday he would become powerful enough to squash them under his feet like ants! He was looking forward to that day to come and Lan Mengchen shared the same thought as well.

....

Not too long after, Yap Liangchen sent Chen Xiaobei to the outskirts of a small military air base. In order to not let others recognize him, he wore an old man mask that was crafted by Feng Qingyang earlier. He then utilized the Mastery of Sound to change his voice. Seconds later, he became an old man. Mystified, Yap Liangchen could not believe Chen Xiaobei's transformation.

After waiting for a while, five cargo helicopters with one hundred and fifty Jianghu people inside it left for the mountain. Most of them were disciples of some random factions around Dragon City. They were still relatively young and their cultivation was not that high as well. Clearly, they were there because of the money!

This mission was after all meant for those mediocre Jianghu folk. All those Jianghu elites would definitely not degrade themselves by taking this bounty. However, there was an exception among those mediocre Jianghu folk.

"His name is Bi Yuntao. He is the faction leader of Yuntao Faction! His cultivation is at the later phase of Qi refining stage! He can be considered as the powerful Jianghu elite among all of them! No one here is more powerful than he!"

With his voice lowered down, Yap Liangchen tried to explain the current situation to Chen Xiaobei. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei shifted his attention to the front part inside the cargo helicopter. The Bi Yuntao that Yap Liangchen mentioned earlier could be recognized easily. He was around fifty years old - the oldest one among all the others.

Ding

[Cultivation: Later phase of Qi refining stage. Health: 18,000. Combat power: 18,000!]

He was shaken when he scanned him with his Netherspirit Battlescouter. His current combat power was twelve thousand. With the help of Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training, he could boost his combat power to sixteen thousand. Still, he would not be able to defeat him.

"Who are the two people beside him?"

"The one the right is Bi Yunyao, brother of Bi Yuntao. His combat power is slightly weaker but we should not take him lightly!"

Scanning the Netherspirit Battlescouter through him, Chen Xiaobei knew that he was equipped with sixteen thousand combat power. He was definitely not weak at all!

The one on the left is Zhuang Yuejin. He is the cousin of Zhuang Bifan. In this trip, he is just here to monitor us. His cultivation is weak but the bodyguards that came with him are pretty strong! Their cultivations are at the middle phase of Qi refining stage!"

Nodding his head, Chen Xiaobei continued to observe them.

"We have reached Mount Gloomy Tiger. Get ready! Look for the fungus as soon as the cargo helicopter lands! You have to return here within forty-eight hours! Miss it and you will have to walk back to Dragon City!"

An announcement could be heard, which made the crowd really excited.
