"Ahem … Since I chose to work with you, I naturally came with sincerity."
Du Feng coughed awkwardly and freed his arm from Situ Yaoyao's grasp. During this process, he could not help but rub against that soft object, making his heart itch again.
Calm down, calm down. The biggest taboo in business negotiations was to be seduced. If he fell for someone else's beauty trap, he would lose his bottom line. As the conditions were gradually relaxed, his side would suffer a huge loss.
"This material is not easy to get."
After hearing Du Feng's conditions, Situ Yaoyao was also troubled. Water Jade was a rare material. When ground into powder and added to medicinal ingredients, it could increase the quality of pills. When added during the smelting process, it could increase the quality of weapons and defensive equipment. It could be said to have worked every time. It was a good material that had everything.
Right now, Du Feng's condition wasn't just the powder of the Aquatic Jade, nor was it just a small piece. Instead, he wanted a whole piece of the Aquatic Jade. This was because the inner layer of the True Origin Cannon was carved out of water jade.
Even with Situ Weiwei's wealth, she was troubled after hearing this condition. Water jade was really difficult to get. Apart from the depths of the sea, only some obscure arcane realms could produce it. In the depths of the sea lived even more cruel and enormous sea beasts. There were some sea beasts that even the top human martial artists did not dare to provoke.
Even if Situ Weiwei could get them, the quantity would definitely be very small. She could not guarantee the volume and completeness. It would not be of much help in making True Origin Cannons.
"Even your Hongyu Business Alliance can't handle it?"
Du Feng did not expect things to be so difficult. The City Lord Residence had gotten ten True Origin Cannons at once. In order to prevent them from being stolen, they even self-destructed four of them. He thought that even if he could not get ten, it should not be a problem to get the materials needed for two or three True Origin Cannons.
"You think too highly of me. Jiuqiao Pavilion cannot represent Hongyu Business Alliance. I, Situ Yaoyao, do not have that much influence."
This was the truth. Although Situ Yaoyao was the second young mistress of the Situ family, there were at least a thousand young ladies in the family who had a similar status as her. Moreover, among the two founders of Hongyu Business Alliance, Situ Yu was ranked second. As for who the word "Hong" represented, no one knew until now. Everyone only knew one thing. The Hongyu Business Alliance was not ruled by the Situ family.
"Is there any alternative?"
Du Feng didn't give up. Situ Yaoyao's ability to dispatch people wasn't as high as he had imagined. However, the allure of True Essence Cannons was simply too great. If he didn't obtain one or two of them, it would truly be unbearable.
"It's not that there's no substitute, but I don't know if it's trustworthy."
Situ Yaoyao opened a secret door on the fourth floor, and there was actually a deeper room inside. The light in this room was even dimmer, and he had to use his eyesight to barely see clearly. He didn't know what she was doing. She didn't even use a single luminous pearl.
"Don't move. This thing cannot be exposed to the light."
Du Feng wanted to cast a spell to illuminate the area but was stopped by Situ Yaoyao. Since that was the case, he could only follow in the dark.
"Ouch!"
Perhaps because Du Feng was walking too fast, he accidentally bumped into Situ Yaoyao, who was walking in front of him. In the dark, she suddenly bumped into something, causing her to let out a scream. How was this tunnel designed? Why was it so short and narrow? Only one person could pass at a time, and they had to bend their waist and lower their head?
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
The thing he bumped into was meaty and bouncy. Even in the dark, Du Feng knew what it was. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. Just follow closely. We will get lost here."
What was going on? Du Feng couldn't make sense of it after hearing it. Wasn't it just a room in Jiuqiao Pavilion? It was a short, straight tunnel. Even if it was dark without any light, they shouldn't get lost. Of course, things weren't as simple as he thought. The tunnel wasn't straight either, but had many twists and turns. It was very long.
No wonder there was a beast wave in Stone Plain City. However, Jiuqiao Pavilion had to fly away. There must be a lot of treasures inside. There were probably some things that even Situ Yaoyao couldn't casually take out.
Just like that, the two of them groped their way forward in the dark. Finally, they saw a faint light in front of them. This light didn't have any heat. Instead, it was extremely cold. The closer they got, the colder they felt. Even with Du Feng's Cultivation and physique, he could feel the cold piercing into his bones.
Damn it! Du Feng suddenly felt that something was wrong. His Cultivation was suppressed. He couldn't even use a little bit of True Essence. It was fine if he couldn't use True Essence, but it felt like he was carrying two mountains on his back. His muscles were sore and his bones were cracking. He couldn't use any strength at all.
This weak and powerless state was too uncomfortable. If he was attacked at this moment, he wouldn't be able to resist at all. At this time, Situ Yaoyao turned around.
"How is it, Master Du? Do you feel weak all over?"
She looked at Du Feng with a smile. He couldn't understand what she meant. Could it be that everything was a trap to lure him here?
Du Feng's brain spun quickly. He observed her expression and calculated what to do next. Ever since he knew her, although Situ Yaoyao was a little willful, she treated him well. What was going on today? Why did she suddenly attack him like this?
Last time when he was trapped, Du Feng knew that it was because there was an array in the room. This time, he was suppressed and he couldn't find the reason at all. With his experience in arrays, he actually couldn't see any traces of an array.
"My body is indeed weak. It's even more comfortable than taking a hot bath. How does Sister Yaoyao feel?"
Du Feng smiled. He couldn't show his fear now. He didn't understand what she meant. Was it because the method to create the True Essence Cannon was too tempting that the Situ family had other ideas? All along, in his heart, Hongyu Business Alliance was the model of the business world. They never broke the rules of the market.
Were they going to turn against him for the secret of the True Essence Cannon? Du Feng was really nervous. He tried to summon the ghost servants, but there was no reaction. He tried to summon Xiao Hei and the pterosaur, but there was no reaction either. The suppression here was so strong that even his connection with his spiritual pets was cut off.
"I feel very comfortable too. It's just a little hot."
