Duobao, who followed the three of them, was much more low-key.
Feline creatures are originally good at hiding, and after Duobao evolved, he was actually able to hide his Qi.
So it wasn't until Duobao took up a position and lay down lazily that everyone in the conference room noticed its existence.
"Is it that extraordinary creature?"
Several people communicated with Minister Hua with their eyes. Many people already knew that Sword Sect Su Xiaofan had a pet that evolved.
Hualong nodded slightly, indicating that it was the extraordinary creature. Suddenly, when the others looked at Duobao, their eyes were filled with a hint of solemnity.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's have a small meeting."
Seeing the arrival of the third son of Jian Zong, Hua Long coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.
"Let me introduce you to a few of you first. The person on my right is Taoist Master Zhongnan Wu, who is in the middle stage of foundation building.
Sitting on my left is Taoist Master Zhongnan Zhang, who is also in the middle stage of foundation building. Everyone in Lu'an knows him, so I won't say more.
Sitting next to Lu'an are Daoyou Sun and Daoyou Zhou from our department. We are both old friends, and everyone must know each other..."
Hualong first introduced the people from their side and Zhongnan, and then turned his attention to the Jianzong people.
"Everyone knows fellow Daoist Zhao. This senior brother Wen doesn't come out much on weekdays, but he is in the late stages of Qi training."
After introducing Zhao Yijian and Wenming, Hualong and everyone else's eyes were on Su Xiaofan.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao told me before that Mr. Su has advanced to the late stage of foundation building. I didn't quite believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Hualong smiled bitterly and said: "In the late stage of foundation building in our early twenties, we can be more affectionate and affectionate. Maybe we will fight side by side in the future..."
Hualong couldn't tell how he was feeling at the moment. He was nearly a hundred years old and had already reached the foundation building stage thirty years ago.
Although Hualong has been busy with departmental affairs in the past thirty years, he has not neglected his practice, and has more opportunities to enter restricted areas.
But so far, Hualong has not been able to advance to the late stage of foundation building. Su Xiaofan, a junior among juniors, has been eliminated in seconds without even leaving any scum.
In fact, Hualong is not the only one who has this idea. All of the people here have complicated thoughts.
Even Zhao Yijian and Wenming felt as if their age had been eaten by dogs after listening to Minister Hua's introduction.
"Seniors, although I look a little more handsome, there is no need for you to stare at me."
Su Xiaofan felt uncomfortable with several Foundation Establishment Stage eyes on him, and the natal flying sword in his dantian felt like it was about to move.
"Fellow Taoist Su, do you have a Taoist companion?"
Taoist Zhongnan Wu said with a smile: "I have a great-granddaughter who is sixteen years old. She is as beautiful as a flower. She is a good match!"
"Oh? I really don't have a Taoist companion."
Su Xiaofan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I wonder what the cultivation level of this great-granddaughter of Fellow Daoist Wu is? I think with her current level, she must find a Taoist companion who is in the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Well, well, she has just started practicing, and it has not been long since she sensed Qi."
There was a hint of embarrassment on Taoist Wu's face. The difference in cultivation between the two was indeed a bit big. "But fellow Taoist Su, cultivation is not a problem. We are looking for a Taoist companion. We also need to warm the bed..."
"Shameless old thief!"
Hearing Wu Daoren's words, the others couldn't help but cursed in their hearts. They even wanted to give their sixteen-year-old great-granddaughter to Su Xiaofan to warm her bed.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, you are not being kind."
Su Xiaofan shook his head and said: "Your great-granddaughter has just started practicing Taoism and became a Taoist couple with me. First, I have to change your name. This Taoist friend will suddenly become an ancestor.
Then I have to be responsible for your great-granddaughter’s cultivation resources, right? If something happens to Fellow Daoist Wu in the future, I have to do my best to help, right?
I have to pay so much just to find a bed warmer. I don’t want to do this business, it’s not cost-effective..."
"You little thief, you are so cunning!"
Hearing Su Xiaofan's evasive words, Wu Daoren blushed. Every word Su Xiaofan said was correct, that's what he thought.
"Fellow Taoist Su, I have a niece who has perfected her qi cultivation and is only a few steps away from entering the foundation building stage. How about being your fellow Taoist?"
Taoist Zhongnan Zhang also spoke. The boy in front of him was really good. He was in his early twenties and in the late stage of foundation building. It was a certainty that he would be promoted to Yangshen in the future.
It can be said that as long as you win over Su Xiaofan, your sect or family will have a strong backer in the future.
The best way to win over Su Xiaofan is nothing more than marriage. Since ancient times, this has been the only choice whether it is the royal court or the cultivator sect.
"Is your Qi training perfect? This is fine. I can think of a way to advance the resources."
Su Xiaofan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said: "I wonder how old my niece Zhang is? If it's suitable, I will recognize you as my uncle!"
"Ahem, she is a bit old, but she has been practicing since she was a child and has rarely had contact with the outside world, let alone men. She still has the heart of a girl."
Taoist Zhang coughed twice and said, "We cultivators can live at least two hundred years when we reach the foundation stage. In fact, it doesn't matter if there is such a small age difference."
"Zhang Daoyou, how much is the difference?"
Su Xiaofan had a bad feeling in his heart. This old guy must be an old swindler.
"My niece must be fifty-eight this year, she is only thirty years older than you!"
Daoren Zhang then said: "Fellow Daoist Su, as the saying goes, a female college student holds a gold brick in her 30s, and a woman who is 30 years old will be rewarded with a fortune. It has great benefits..."
"Fuck!"
Su Xiaofan uttered a curse word in front of everyone, "Zhang Daoyou, are you bullying my Sword Sect's sword? How dare you bully me like this?!"
Su Xiaofan was really annoyed. The sixteen-year-old just now was at least young and pretty, but he was just impatient to train a lolita.
But this one went too far and directly found a grandma for himself. Speaking of which, my father was only in his early forties, so at fifty-eight, he couldn't be his grandma.
"Fellow Daoist Su, don't be angry, don't be angry. If you don't want to, just forget it. Don't hurt your harmony."
Zhang Daoren also knew that he was not very kind, but he had always had the mentality of taking advantage of the situation, which was not normal. But if Su Xiaofan was not normal, wouldn't it be a problem?
"Everyone, it is a good thing to introduce fellow Taoists, but forget it if you are crooked. Otherwise, don't blame the kid for turning your back..."
Su Xiaofan glanced at several people, and the tiger cat originally lying on the chair also let out a low growl.
This action of a man and a cat immediately made everyone feel shocked.
Although the Su Xiaofan in front of them was too young, the out-of-body realm and the extraordinary creatures around them were really not something they could afford to offend.
"Minister Hua, I have some different opinions on the distribution of shares after the restricted area is conquered."
Just after Su Xiaofan shocked everyone, Zhao Yijian then said: "My three brothers, plus Tiger Cat Chaofan, two percent is not enough!"
The matter of dividing into members was just an internal communication between Zhao Yijian and Su Xiaofan. He had not raised it to Hualong yet, but now Zhao Yijian had more ideas.
"Senior Brother Zhao, the share we have agreed upon is not suitable for changing, right?"
When Hua Long heard Zhao Yijian's words, he immediately felt his head explode. He knew that Jian Zong was not that easy to talk to.
"We asked for a 20% share before, and the people we got were two cultivators in the early stage of foundation building and two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building."
Zhao Yijian did not speak aggressively, but said with a dangerous face: "Now that we have three cultivators who are equivalent to your late-stage foundation establishment, does Minister Hua think the previously negotiated share is still appropriate?"
"Yes, the three of us working together are enough to conquer a small restricted area." As soon as Zhao Yijian finished speaking, Wen Wenming said from the side.
"You Sword Sect can't take advantage of everything, right?"
Zhongnan Taoist Zhang shouted: "How can we change things we agreed upon before?"
"Well, I'll ask the sect to send two juniors who are in the early and middle stages of foundation building."
Zhao Yijian refused to give in, "Then my three brothers and sisters will leave first. I wish you all success and victory!"
Zhao Yijian is not threatening the relevant departments, but it is only natural that he will get the same benefits as he puts in his efforts. It makes no sense for the Sword Sect to use their efforts and the people in Zhongnan will follow suit.
"Senior Brother Zhao, why bother?"
Hua Long had a splitting headache. He was not suitable to speak at the moment. He immediately glanced at Lu'an, trying to get him to turn around.
Lu'an shook his head slightly, meaning he didn't want to do it. Why did he do this? I am now a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. Don't let me take the blame for nothing.
As for the other two people in the relevant departments, they looked at their noses with their eyes and their minds with their noses, and did not look at Hualong at all.
"Minister Hua, it's not that I want to fight, but that your distribution this time is unfair!"
Zhao Yijian said: "The three of my senior brothers and the Extraordinary Tiger Cat are equal to four strong Extraordinaries, so they only get 20% of the share.
There are only two cultivators in Zhongnan who are in the middle stage of foundation building, and they are only 20% of the total. You must not be very particular about this matter."
In the past, Jianzong worked as a thug for relevant departments many times, and the two parties had a happy cooperation.
However, in recent years, the work of relevant departments has been a bit uneven. It involves the interests of the sect, and Zhao Yijian cannot give in.
"What percentage do you want?"
Hualong finally spat out. He also knew that the previous share distribution was a bit unfair.
But at that time, we considered that Zhongnan was a local snake and would need their cooperation when building the entrance to the restricted area in the future, so we gave Zhongnan two elements.
"Forty percent share!"
Zhao Yijian said loudly, "In addition, our Sword Sect wants three training positions in the inner circle and five training positions in the second circle. All Sword Sect disciples can freely enter and exit the restricted area..."
"This is impossible!" Hua Long, who was just looking embarrassed at first, stood up immediately after hearing Zhao Yijian's conditions.
"Senior Brother Zhao, this is absolutely impossible!"
Hualong shook his head repeatedly, "If you want 40% of the members, wouldn't our department only have 40% left?
In addition, there are only four positions in the inner circle, so your sword sect wants to take three? There are eight positions in the outer circle and you want five. Isn’t this a robber?"
The only condition Hualong can accept is that Jianzong disciples can come and go freely.
But this is also the most useless condition. This restricted area was originally intended to be open to all cultivators, which naturally included the Sword Sect disciples.
"Zhong Nan, can you give me a share?"
Su Xiaofan suddenly spoke and glanced at the two old Taoist priests.
Grandma, you dared to trick me just now. Su Xiaofan immediately decided to give them some eye drops.
"The restricted area covers many mountains in Zhongnan. If I ask for 20% in Zhongnan, it's not too much."
Zhang Daoren complained endlessly that he regretted offending that petty young man. This was such a quick retribution.
Su Xiaofan laughed and said: "Every plant and tree in China belongs to the country. Fellow Daoist Zhang, your thinking is narrow-minded."
"I……"
Zhang Daoren almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, Su Xiaofan actually used the country's justice to suppress him, and there was nothing wrong with him at all.
At this point, Su Xiaofan stopped talking. He also wanted to show off his muscles, otherwise people would misunderstand that he was young and easy to bully.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, Fellow Daoist Wu, this time... we have no choice but to wrong Zhongnan."
Hualong gave a bitter smile. At this point, he could only accept the weak point. Because if the mission cannot be carried out, then the responsibility he has to bear will be even greater.
"this……"
Zhang and Wu both changed their expressions at the same time, but when they opened their mouths, they could not utter a word of rebuttal. The two of them were the strongest in the Zhongnan faction, and they had no confidence to speak harshly.
"Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Wen, I can give you 30% of the share!"
Hualong said: "I will give you two positions in the inner circle and three positions in the outer circle. If you agree, we will sign an agreement. If you don't agree, the mission will be cancelled!"
Hualong has been in charge of relevant departments for so many years, and his decision-making ability is unparalleled. He quickly made the final conclusion and passed the choice to Jianzong.
"Okay, I, the Sword Sect, also want to contribute to the country. As long as it is fair and just, we will not go too far."
Zhao Yijian said in an awe-inspiring manner: "Just sign the agreement as Minister Hua said. We, the Sword Sect, will suffer some losses."
As soon as Zhao Yijian said these words, Hua Long didn't feel anything, but Zhong Nan and the others were almost bleeding from anger. We, the ones who really suffered, haven't spoken yet.
The civilized world still adheres to the law of the jungle of the jungle, only the law of the jungle is more subtle.
The two Zhongnan people, who knew this truth well, were helpless. The truth was always in the hands of those with big fists, and their protests were of no avail.
Seeing that Zhongnan and the others did not raise any objections, Hualong was relieved.
In fact, it was not very reasonable to give Zhong Nan a 20% share. It was just that a leader in charge of the relevant departments at the time had some connections with Zhong Nan, so the distribution plan was formulated.
But now that Jian Zong speaks with strength, that person must have nothing to say if he knows about it, and he has the guts to trouble Jian Zong.
"Senior brother, what does inner circle and outer circle mean?"
While Minister Hua asked someone to draft and print the agreement, Su Xiaofan quietly sent a message to Zhao Yijian.
"The inner circle is the place closest to the space crack. It is divided into four areas according to southeast, northwest and northwest..."
Zhao Yijian knew that Su Xiaofan had almost no basic knowledge, so he immediately sent a message: "The energy there is the most abundant, and it is replenished very quickly after consumption. Even cultivators in the Yangshen realm can practice there...
The outer circle is exaggerated and divided into eight areas. If we can grab three of them, we won’t lose money on this trip..."
Although Zhao Yijian had acted very strongly just now, and now his face was expressionless, he was actually feeling happy.
Where is that place in the inner circle? It is the place where the old monkey king practices in the restricted area of Qingcheng. No one else can get involved, which shows how important its location is.
This time the Sword Sect won two at once. Although it was not as domineering as the old Monkey King, it was enough for their Sword Sect to practice. How could Zhao Yijian be unhappy?
"Senior brother, Duobao must be given a place in the inner circle!"
Su Xiaofan's words made Zhao Yijian look dull for a moment. He didn't expect that Su Xiaofan would actually benefit Duobao.
"Senior Brother Zhao, think about it, if Duobao evolves to the level of the Old Monkey King, what restricted area will we not be able to defeat?"
Su Xiaofan drew a cake for Zhao Yijian, "When the time comes, our Sword Sect will conquer a restricted area by ourselves, and the inner circle will be ours. Wouldn't that be better?"
"This... I want to discuss this with Senior Brother Wen."
Zhao Yijian smiled bitterly and looked at Senior Brother Wen next to him.
In the conference room, not only Brother Jianzong was transmitting spiritual messages, but Minister Hua was also communicating with Zhong Nan and trying to comfort them.
"Senior Brother Wen agreed!"
After a while, Zhao Yijian passed it to Su Xiaofan in a depressed tone.
He originally thought that he could get involved in practicing in an inner circle, but was unexpectedly squeezed out by the tiger cat. Zhao Yijian naturally felt depressed.
However, what Wen Wenming said just now was very straightforward. Su Xiaofan and Hu Mao will definitely play a greater role in this trip than Zhao Yijian. It is natural for them to occupy a position.
The other inner circle position is naturally used by civilization.
After seeing that Zhao Yijian's Feijian was fused with the Thunder Gold Spirit to create an extra thunder and lightning attribute, Civilization decided to seclusion in the restricted area and would never come out until the Yangshen.
As for leaving a position in the inner circle for the sect, that does not exist. The sect has a 10% share of drought and flood guarantees. It is natural that they, the disciples who are fighting at the front line, will get the lion's share.
"Senior Brother Zhao, the extra half will be divided equally between you and Senior Brother Wen."
Although Su Xiaofan is young, he has been in business for several years, so he naturally understands the principle of win-win, so he immediately gave back a sweet date.
"Okay, then the matter is settled."
Upon hearing Su Xiaofan's voice transmission, Zhao Yijian's face showed a hint of joy.
Although it is an equal share with Senior Brother Wen, it also represents a massive amount of cultivation resources, enough to push one's cultivation to Yin Shen perfection.
Breaking through Yangshen requires a certain amount of opportunity. Zhao Yijian doesn't think about it that much now. Even if it is a civilization, the chance of breaking through Yangshen realm is probably very slim.
"Minister Hua, our Sword Sect's share needs to be broken down."
Zhao Yijian opened his mouth and told Hualong the results of the discussion just now.
Hearing that Su Xiaofan monopolized one of the shares, everyone in the conference room stared at Su Xiaofan. They all knew what kind of cultivation resources that represented.
"Junior Brother Su is the 10% share of the things traded with us."
Zhao Yijian explained that if Su Xiaofan hadn't given up half of it, then he would have had 15%.
However, given the choice between a half share and a fixed position in the inner circle, Su Xiaofan would still choose the inner circle position.
The amount of cultivation resources does not actually help him much. On the contrary, it occupies a good position for cultivation, which allows Duobao to evolve quickly.
"I'm not alone, there's a big cat too."
Su Xiaofan patted Duobao's head and forcefully lowered his hatred.
However, the effect was obviously not very good, and even the eyes of those people looking at Duobao were full of envy and jealousy.
"Okay, the agreement is ready. Everyone signs it. Before we act, we need to explain the situation in the restricted area to you."
After the staff brought the agreement, Hualong asked people to pass it to everyone. He said that it was unsubstantiated, but he still signed something to protect the interests of all parties.
Although the victory has not yet been won, after the signing of this agreement, the Qinling restricted area has been divided among the three parties.
Relevant departments are naturally the big winners, but they also pay a lot.
There are two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building and two in the early stage of foundation building, as well as a strong person in the Yangshen realm who has not shown up. This is the reason why the relevant departments can monopolize 60% of the share.
Individuals such as Jian Zong and Su Xiaofan also gained a lot.
A total of 30% of the members, Jian Zong one share, Su Xiaofan one share, Wen Wenming and Zhao Yijian accounted for one share.
In addition, there are two cultivation positions in the inner circle and three areas in the outer circle. This condition is even more precious.
Finally, there is the Zhongnan faction. They only occupy 10% of the share and two outer circle cultivation positions, but this is also a reflection of their strength.
The ancients said, "If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster." Even if they are allocated more benefits this time, they may not be able to keep it.
After figuring it out, Zhong Nan and the others felt relieved and took the initiative to talk to the third son of Jian Zong.
So when the agreement was signed, the harmonious picture of hello, me, and everyone was restored in the conference room.
