(First of all, from the foundation building stage to the golden elixir stage, it will not cause a catastrophe, and the energy density is too low.)

But when Zhang Hao sat upright and proudly accepted the toasts from others, an invisible shackle suddenly opened in his heart, and the true energy in his body rose instantly.

This time it wasn't an epiphany, it was more like breaking the shackles out of a surge of courage.

"Boom..." Zhang Hao felt his eyes go dark, and suddenly 'saw' a mysterious space. There was a light blue energy vortex in the space that was like starlight, and a 'golden elixir' was rapidly forming in the center.

The surface of the 'Golden Pill' is not smooth, and there is actually a picture of the stars in the sky imprinted on it.

The next moment, the 'illusion' in front of him disappeared. Zhang Hao suddenly opened his eyes, only to see that the table in front of him was in a mess.

Nangong Zhi laughed loudly: "Congratulations to Minister Zhang for entering the Golden Elixir. After swallowing a Golden Elixir, my fate is at my mercy from now on! In the Golden Elixir period, I officially break the shackles of life!

Someone come and give Minister Zhang a new banquet!"

Zhang Hao felt in his body that he had just broken through the golden elixir stage, and the real energy in his body was condensed. It was the weakest time. However, Zhang Hao didn't care, and generously took the wine glass from the hand of the maid next to him, and started drinking.

But to be honest, wine is good wine; but without distillation, the alcohol content is not high. Zhang Hao estimated that it is the alcohol content of wine.

Then Zhang Hao, Nangong Zhi, and Fang Rong discussed a lot of industrial and commercial governance, especially methods of economic unification. These included canceling tariffs and exchanging others to cancel tariffs for themselves, as well as patent laws, etc.

Zhang Hao stayed with Nangong Zhi for five full days. Compared with the mighty general Zhao Chen, Zhang Hao felt that this Nangong Zhi was more extraordinary and more promising to unify the Shaoze Kingdom.

Five days later, Nangong Zhi personally led hundreds of officials to bid farewell to Zhang Hao. The officials were very enthusiastic and even collected thousands of top-notch medicinal materials. Zhang Hao refused to accept anyone who came.

When the flying boat flew into the sky, Zhang Hao felt a little emotional when he saw that there were obviously several times more boats on the river. During these five days, Nangong Zhi consulted Zhang Hao for advice while negotiating tariffs and other matters with the surrounding feudal towns.

In five days, prosperity suddenly appeared!

"This Nangong Zhi is not simple!" Zhang Hao laughed.

Also on the shore, when Nangong Zhi saw Zhang Hao finally leaving, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, turned to look at the military officer Fang Rong next to him, and said through a message: "Go and spread rumors, the sooner the better, just say

Zhang Hao wants to subvert the aristocratic system and spare no effort.

Zhang Hao's next main target must be the prince Leng Kun. But there are many nobles around the prince, so they can take advantage of them.

The prince must not be allowed to see Zhang Hao."

This cannot be said publicly, it can only be conveyed to Fang Rong.

Fang Rong immediately sent a message and responded: "General, we might as well send someone to assassinate Zhang Hao! Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said, and it doesn't matter if Zhang Hao is missing now."

"No, you can't kill. The Xuanzhen Sect is not a fool. If we do this to such an outstanding disciple as Zhang Hao, I'm afraid the entire Shaoze Kingdom will suffer. We will definitely bear the brunt of it, let alone any big plans.

Furthermore, we need to obtain technology from Dayang Group and develop rapidly.

According to what Zhang Hao said, the country of Qixia is developing at a high speed, we must develop as soon as possible, I am afraid that time is running out."

"I understand, the general should consider the long term. In this case, should we send someone to protect him? If we really encounter a crisis, we can still take the opportunity to sell a favor."

"That's good. While they are spreading rumors, they are sending people to protect Zhang Hao and others."

"General, I suggest that Bank of China go ahead. After all, familiarity can avoid a lot of trouble."

"Okay." Turning his head, Nangong Zhi ordered Zhongxing Yue to lead some of the experts to set off.

After Zhong Xingyue left, Fang Rong continued, "General, have you noticed that the Dugu Junjie next to Zhang Hao seems to me to be the young master of General Shangzhu Kingdom back then. He looks very similar!"

"That should be the case. However, we were not involved in the killing of the Dugu family back then, so this Dugu Junjie has nothing to do with us. For now, we can just treat it as if we don't know. It's better to save one trouble than to do more!

By the way, you will be responsible for future cooperation with Dayang Group. Try to get some technology from Dayang Group. If you can recruit some people from Dayang Group, you will not hesitate to make money!

If it is true as Zhang Hao said, even if it is only one-tenth of what he said, we will poach people from Dayang Group at all costs!"

"Yes!" Fang Rong left and arranged the rumors. The prince must not be allowed to see Zhang Hao.

Everyone knows that compared with the prince Leng Kun, Nangong Zhi is almost the same except for one name. But sometimes the name is really important!

After Fang Rong left, Nangong Zhi looked into the distance and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao, you are still too young. But I still want to thank you, thank you for bringing me the direction of unifying the Shaoze Kingdom.

I occupy Jinjiang City, which is located at the strategic point of the Three Rivers, controls domestic waterways, and occupies the central position of the country. It is the most suitable for economic unification.

Within three years, within three years I will unify the country of Shaoze!

Zhang Hao said that he would cultivate 1,700 Nascent Souls within three years, which means that I only have three years left!"

…………

Poor Zhang Hao didn't know the plot behind him at all. Who would have thought that as soon as he stepped forward, he would start plotting on the back.

After Zhang Hao visited several small separatist regimes, when he finally arrived at the place where the prince Leng Kun was, he was blocked at a checkpoint. The checkpoint generals ridiculed him.

After Zhang Hao tried for a long time, he finally sighed helplessly. "Go back, one Nangong Zhi is enough. One smart ally is enough."

Dugu Junjie couldn't help but say: "But this rumor is probably related to Nangong Zhi! The rumors only started after we left Nangong Zhi."

Zhang Hao shook his head and chuckled: "So, this is called a smart person. And this prince turned away opportunities because of rumors. Such a person is not worth cooperating with.

It’s not that we don’t work hard, it’s that people don’t accept it. If so, His Majesty won’t say anything, and other countries will have nothing to say in the future. It’s not that we don’t support the royal family, but that people don’t want it!

Our mission is completed. Let’s return.”

Dugu Junjie asked one more question: "Maybe it's not the prince's intention, maybe it's the nobles under him who make their own decisions."

"Then we can't cooperate anymore. If this is true, it shows that this prince has no ability!

Let’s go, it’s been too long since I’ve been out, there’s still a lot of things I haven’t done at home, and I haven’t even had time to consolidate my cultivation.”

The flying boat began to turn around, flew high into the sky, and flew all the way to the west.

The journey was relatively safe and nothing happened. On his way back, Zhang Hao visited Wuwei General Zhao Chen again and received a warm welcome.

A transaction had just been completed, and Wuwei General Zhao Chen was very excited. Using the same medicinal materials, he got nearly 15 times the amount of elixirs! Not to mention that a factory was already under construction.

Everything is so beautiful.

After leaving Zhao Chen, Zhang Hao passed through the Land of Canglan again. But this time, Zhang Hao stopped by to visit Fu Yun. Well, it was intentional.

Fu Yun, as a god-incarnation stage, has his own mansion. Zhang Hao visited in person, but received a warm reception.

The person who received Zhang Hao was Fu Yun's disciple named Ge Dong. He was already in the early stage of Jindan cultivation and was less than twenty years old. Zhang Hao knew for the first time that Fu Yun actually had a disciple, so he quickly gave him a meeting gift.

.Isn’t it weird to give gifts to many people?

Needless to say, after the gift was given, Ge Dong became more enthusiastic. "Master Zhang, Master is meditating and it is not expected to end until tomorrow morning. Please wait a moment."

"It's okay." Zhang Hao smiled and started talking to Ge Dong.

To be honest, Zhang Hao was a little happy that he didn't meet Fu Yun immediately, but met Fu Yun's disciples: he could get some information.

Poor Ge Dong, an honest boy who only knows how to practice. Although he usually comes into contact with others, because he is a disciple in the transformation stage, everyone gives in and he doesn't suffer any loss. So in the evening, Ge Dong and Zhang Hao's younger brother

, he was called "Shixiong".

Next to him, Dugu Junjie curled his lips slightly, "Zhang Hao, you are so embarrassed, I can't stand it anymore."

"I didn't expect that Senior Fu Yun was actually from the Sword Immortal lineage." Zhang Hao was talking nonsense, he already knew it, "Brother, do you know that the practice I want most is to become a Sword Immortal.

Riding the sword and riding the wind, chasing the clouds and the sun! It’s a pity that I have always been involved in worldly affairs, and I have practiced Zhou Tian Gong since I was a child. The foundation has been set and it is difficult to replace it.”

Zhang Hao said, his eyes full of yearning and regret. Finally, he emphasized again, "I really envy you, brother!"

"Um...hey..." the pure Ge Dong stuttered to comfort Zhang Hao, "Brother, you don't have to be envious. Sword Immortal is not easy to practice, really.

Not to mention that the practice itself is more difficult than ordinary practice, even flying swords is a difficult problem."

"Huh? What's wrong with Feijian?" Zhang Hao was immediately concerned. He felt keenly that there seemed to be an opportunity in front of him.

Then he saw Ge Dong holding out his flying sword, which was a flying sword made entirely of fine gold. After holding out the flying sword, Ge Dong launched an attack on the ground.

However, a flash of sword energy was seen and it sank into the ground in an instant; then a ray of lightning flashed and hit the attack position, opening a gap the size of a fist.

"It's amazing!" Zhang Hao praised, "It can actually cause secondary damage! Senior brother has mastered the power of thunder and lightning?"

"I was born with a very rare thunder-attribute physique, and it is also the most ideal physique for a sword immortal. Master said so. But brother, you just saw that my attack was launched in two parts.

In fact, I activated the attack at the same time, but after the flying sword, the sword energy and the thunder and lightning power separated. They should have been launched at the same time. If they are separated, the power will be reduced by twice as much!"

Zhang Hao thought thoughtfully: "What does this have to do with Feijian?"

Ge Dong put away the flying sword, slowly stretched out his right index finger and pointed it at the ground, but saw a bolt of lightning with a satin luster crackling next to the position just now, and a gap the size of a bowl appeared.

Ge Dong had a bitter look on his face: "Brother Shi, the attack power I sent out twice is the same. But using the power of the flying sword is actually worse than not using it at all!

This swordsman of mine... is probably the most useless swordsman in history."

Zhang Hao understood: "The problem is with the flying sword?"

"Well! In order to build a flying sword for me, Master tried a lot of materials, but they all failed. After my power entered the flying sword, the aura and thunder attributes were actually separated.

This is a flying sword made of black iron."

With that said, Ge Dong took out a flying sword made of high-grade black iron from his storage ring. Zhang Hao estimated the purity of this black iron at just one glance: about 99.5%. After being exposed to it for a long time, the color and luster will change.

(Spirituality) can be estimated.

Ge Dong launched another attack, but saw that the sword energy flew out, and the thunder light circled around the sword, only half of it flew out, and the remaining half...dissipated.

Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes.

Ge Dong seemed to have found the person complaining, and poured out more than ten flying swords from the storage ring, "Master made many flying swords for me, including black iron, red copper, mithril, fine gold, and so on.

There are some mixed spiritual materials, and there are also flying swords made of precious 'Thunder Spirit Bamboo', the sharp horns of thunder dragons, etc., but none of them work.
