After hanging up the phone, Bai Yan drove to the factory warehouse of Wanyan Company.
Bai Yan had already selected twenty demon trees, planning to cultivate two level-three demons; currently, the eggs of the level-three demons were still incubating.
However, level-three demons were not Bai Yan’s goal; what he wanted most right now was to cultivate a level-four demon!
The gap between a level-three demon and a level-four demon is immense—a Lower Demon and a Middle Rank Demon, not only is it an upgrade in rank, but also an evolution in quality!
To cultivate a level-three demon, it requires ten level-two demon trees, which translates to approximately 1000 demon eggs or 10000 points of demon energy.
Moreover, cultivating a level-three demon has a certain success rate; it’s not that 10000 points of demon energy can certainly produce a level-three demon.
The demon energy required for a level-four demon is even more outrageous, needing a total of 100,000 demon energy points! That is, 10,000 demon larvae have to kill each other, to have a certain chance of cultivating a level-four demon!
However, although Li Xiaoman’s purchase of poultry this time was in large quantities, it mainly consisted of chickens, ducks, and geese, with a small amount of pigs and beef cattle; over ten thousand poultry only barely provided Bai Yan with more than 6000 points of demon energy.
Bai Yan had no choice but to cultivate these 6000 plus points of demon energy into over 60 level-two demon trees; firstly, the demon trees could be used to provide life juice to Wanyan Company at any time, and once there were enough level-two demon trees, Bai Yan could cultivate level-three demons at any moment.
Once Bai Yan himself evolves into a level-four demon, he could use the large number of level-three demons in the demon breeding farm to cultivate level-four demons at any time.
Bai Yan was very unsatisfied with the quantity and quality of the live animals purchased by Li Xiaoman this time.
But after all, considering the national situation, this type of poultry has a large market domestically, but these small types of poultry can no longer meet Bai Yan’s current needs.
He needs higher quality life forms, containing more intense life energy, and the more the better!
The kind of life form Bai Yan wants has a very strong life force, far surpassing ordinary humans. Apart from Abnormals, probably only the large wild animals in major forests can meet Bai Yan’s requirements.
Currently, there are not many large wild beasts in the domestic forests, and even if there are, they are not accessible to Wanyan Company.
After all, the protection of rare animals by the country is very strict, and looking globally, probably only the African savanna can meet Bai Yan’s needs.
But one must eat one bite at a time, and walk step by step; with the current influence of Wanyan Company, it is obviously not enough to reach the African region. Bai Yan could only helplessly slow down his pace of cultivating demons.
Although Bai Yan was somewhat disappointed in this regard, he did receive good news in the cultivation of level-three demons.
Two days later, perhaps due to the upgrade of Bai Yan’s demon territory, the success rate of cultivating level-three demons greatly increased, and the two level-three demons Bai Yan was cultivating both hatched successfully.
One Demon Wings, one Demon Giant Tree.
Name: Demon Giant Tree (Level-Three Demon).
Age: Four hundred sixty-one years.
Identity: Demon, Plant.
Physical Attributes: Strength 133, Agility 97, Constitution 158, Intelligence 13.
Demon Skills: Intermediate Life Drain, drains life force within living bodies, recognized as the most malicious spell in the Abyss plane, can forcibly bind and drain life force from living bodies.
Demon Talent: Secretes life juice, what goes around comes around, the Demon Tree can not only absorb life force from living bodies but also secrete juice containing strong life force, which when consumed by living beings will enhance their constitution, cure all diseases, and is effective on any organism.
Other options: Can choose one demon, transforming into Demon Power to enhance both host and demon slave bodies.
The physical attributes of the Demon Giant Tree far surpass those of Demon Wings, especially its almost monstrously high constitution of 158 points—which is even stronger than Bai Yan’s own constitution!
This greatly satisfied Bai Yan, the skills and talents of the Demon Giant Tree are not much different from those of the level-two demon tree, just that it is much larger in size, and has more and thicker vines.
During these two days of waiting for the level-three demons to hatch, at Wanyan Company, Li Xiaoman frequently sent company emails to Bai Yan, informing him of Wanyan Company’s recent movements.
After Bai Yan had issued the order to encircle and suppress Hengle’s branches in Huaxia the last time, Wanyan Company first displayed its powerful strength and astonishing rallying power.
Tianlong Pharmaceutical Group, Kellogg’s Pharmaceutical Group, and even An Yan’s Shen Zhou Group have all been involved; the alliance of several major leading companies combined their efforts through purchasing pharmaceutical materials, customs imports, and online public opinion to implement multiple resistance and commercial sanctions!
In just two days’ time, they caused the commercial profits of Hengle in Country H to shrink by fifty percent!
And then came the powerful takeover led by Wanyan Company.
The H Country’s Hengle pharmacies, drugstores, hospitals, factories, and even office buildings, all faced strong impacts!
For a while, employees of the various subsidiaries of Hengle were in a state of panic, many resigned, numerous drugstores went bankrupt, and were quickly bought up by competitors!
The entire corporate sector of Hua Xia was very much in tune this time!
Under the guidance of Wanyan Company, they targeted the major subsidiaries of the Hengle Group in various big cities, all at the same time, from the same camp.
From being initially frantic and counterattacking in anger to eventually begging for mercy, Hengle repeatedly called Li Xiaoman of Wanyan Company, begging Goddess Li to spare Hengle, even proposing a business compensation of five billion to Wanyan Company in hopes of mercy!
However, Wanyan Company now fully controlled the initiative, and under Bai Yan’s instructions, Li Xiaoman firmly refused compensation, aiming to eradicate them completely!
Unable to beg for mercy, the Chairman of Hengle Group in H Country, Xin Dongbing, was infuriated and angrily declared war on Wanyan Company through the corporate official Weibo.
At the suggestion of interested parties, Hengle Group increased its financial input into its subsidiaries in Hua Xia, and also spent a lot of money to buy off several major Hua Xia enterprises, convincing them to stop the encirclement.
A tug of war vividly unfolded!
Hengle Group initiated a counteroffensive pace, and as other enterprises in Hua Xia ceased their actions, this behemoth of Hengle Group started aggressively targeting the burgeoning pharmaceutical company, Wanyan!
At that moment, the media repeatedly covered the story.
"Is Hengle Group targeting Wanyan Company? Is this a usual business encounter or a long-premeditated commercial sniper?"
"Hengle spends a huge sum, deploying elite business professionals to Hua Xia, declaring war on Wanyan Company!!!"
"The will of the people! Online uproar! The nation cries out to boycott Hengle, to protect our Wanyan, support ’Bodhisattva Medicine’!"
Even though the media and online platforms were overwhelmingly supportive of Wanyan Company, Hengle was after all a listed group, with deep roots and ample funds.
Under the strong counterattack of Hengle Group, Wanyan Company was somewhat overwhelmed.
Among the Hua Xia allied corporations, aside from Shen Zhou Group led by An Yan extending help to Wanyan Company, the other enterprises, considering their own interests, chose to sit on the fence and watch.
At this moment, Li Xiaoman was frantically overwhelmed, she seemed somewhat inexperienced facing the assault from Hengle Group on the corporate field, after all, Goddess Li’s involvement in business was still limited in time, and Wanyan’s financial chains were not robust enough to withstand the experienced Chairman Xin Dongbing and Hengle Group.
Approaching his fifties, Xin Dongbing was determined to win this commercial battleground, benefiting from his many years of business intuition, he gradually took control of the initiative in the Hua Xia pharmaceutical market.
To ensure victory, Xin Dongbing placed all his bets on the Hua Xia pharmaceutical market, with a continuous influx of huge sums of money!
However, at this time, Xin Dongbing became overly arrogant; he actively sent an aggressive and haughty email to Wanyan Company, a stark contrast to his previous pleas for mercy.
Even in the email, Hengle Group provocatively challenged the Hua Xia officials, with words that looked down upon Hua Xia enterprises and officials.
"So-called Shen Zhou Dragon Land? I see it is nothing special, facing the business impact from my great H Country, who in Hua Xia can stand against it? Hahaha, when Hengle Group completely occupies the Hua Xia pharmaceutical market, it will be when we control the lifeblood of Hua Xia!"
From this email alone, one can imagine the smug and ugly complacency of Hengle Group’s Chairman, Xin Dongbing.
But Li Xiaoman felt powerless!
The temporary withdrawal of allies and the strong counterattacks from Hengle Group made it very difficult for Wanyan Company to continue.
Moreover, Li Xiaoman deeply understood that if Wanyan Company lost this battle, once Hengle Group occupied most of the shares in Hua Xia’s pharmaceutical market, they would wield absolute influence.
And for a country, the pharmaceutical field is vital, relating to the livelihood of the people! If it were successfully controlled by a foreign enterprise, it indeed would be like grasping a handle on Hua Xia!
Faced with the current plight of Wanyan Company, Li Xiaoman helplessly had no choice but to phone Bai Yan for help.
"Publish the email publicly; this time, he must be left with nowhere to bury!"
Bai Yan’s tone was very calm, unsurprised and unflustered by the arrogant Hengle Group and the difficult situation of Wanyan, knowing the email from Hengle Group was just what he wanted.
Only a fool would send such an email; this Xin Dongbing was clearly too proud, making a fatal mistake!
In Bai Yan’s eyes, Hengle Group was just a dying dog, let it bark a few more days!
