On the one hand, I admire Zhou Shuhai: he actually thought of using minerals to replace medicinal materials and persisted for so many years. This requires not only wisdom, but also perseverance, self-sacrifice and noble morality.
But at the same time, this also reveals a kind of helplessness. Even masters like Zhou Shuhai, the leading alchemy master in the West in the Fertile Continent, are forced to do this and have to dig out rocks.
Sometimes, some miracles are forced out!
And now, a miracle 'exploded' in Zhang Hao's eyes.
The elixir didn't come out, but the explosive came out! So, Zhang Hao was a little excited again.
The mixture of these various emotions made Zhang Hao's expression even more 'bright and moving' - his eyes were shining, and his face was filled with excitement.
"Nephew, what are you..." Zhou Shuhai asked carefully. Zhang Hao's expression was really too unusual.
Zhang Hao took a deep breath, slowly calmed down his excitement, and then said slowly and thoughtfully: "Uncle Shi, as the saying goes: If you are stuck, you will think about change, and if you change, you will be successful.
Your exploration and attempts have earned my nephew great respect. As a member of the West, my nephew is deeply moved. The prosperity of the six Western countries today is at least the result of my uncle Sansheng!"
Zhou Jue's eyes were a little excited after hearing this - although he was not praising himself, it was his father who was crossing him.
As for Zhou Shuhai, he is not Zhou Jue. His eyes are fixed on Zhang Hao: Boy, keep talking, your expression just now is obviously not appreciation; your expression is clearly that of discovering a treasure, you are so excited.
The face is all red!
As for Zhang Hao, naturally he would not just say this.
Zhang Hao spoke very slowly. He was thinking about it again and again. He wanted to flatter him and get what he wanted - what he wanted was not only explosives, etc., but also Zhou Shuhai's 'help'.
The most important thing is to have the explosives completely in your own hands!
To achieve such a goal, we must start from Zhou Shuhai's character and the future of Qixia Kingdom.
After Zhou Shuhai became famous, he settled down to develop in the country of Qixia. It is said that with Zhou Shuhai's ability, if he comes to the Xuanzhen Sect or to the Fertile Continent Dongfang, he will be an absolute guest. And the reason why he chose Xinglin Hall is obviously his heart.
It is the country of Qixia.
Zhang Hao's mind was spinning. Under Zhou Shuhai's gaze, Zhang Hao continued to say slowly: "Uncle Shi, your contribution to the country of Qixia and the six Western countries is obvious to all.
However, my nephew believes that it would be very difficult to use ores to replace medicinal materials.
It is impossible to verify how many years the world of cultivation has developed. Just talking about the Xuanzhen Sect in the West of our fertile continent can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago.
Over tens of thousands of years, almost all usable medicinal materials have been discovered; for the rest, there is little room for further exploration.
So, Uncle Shi wants to use some strange ores to replace medicinal materials... it should be difficult, right?"
A trace of sadness flashed across Zhou Shuhai's face. Only after trying it did he realize the difficulty. What was in front of him was not a southern wall, but a southern mountain!
If it's a wall, it can be broken through with just a little force. If it's a mountain...what can I do?
Zhang Hao continued: "Uncle Shi, my nephew has had an idea for a long time. The medicine refined from these medicinal materials is an elixir that can cure diseases, save people, and assist in spiritual practice.
The medicine refined from the ore...maybe it should be done the other way around!
Medicinal materials have the properties of medicinal materials, and ores... also have the properties of ores."
The other way around?!
Zhou Jue suddenly sat upright and looked at Zhang Hao sharply. "Do it the other way around... Why?"
Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Jue's eyes, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "One saves people, the other... kills!"
"Crack!" The chair under Zhou Shuhai suddenly shattered. He stood up suddenly and looked at Zhang Hao with a seemingly unkind look. But in the next moment, he suddenly froze, just like that!
Zhang Hao stood up slowly, gritted his teeth again, and took a firm step towards the road of seeking death. He walked slowly and firmly in front of Zhou Shuhai, "Uncle Shi, I know that Uncle Shi has been dedicated to curing diseases and saving people, refining elixirs and practicing cultivation. For some people,
I don't want to touch things.
But the war that is happening in the Kingdom of Jinyang, Uncle Shi has also seen it, it is a disaster for our six Western countries. Sometimes, in the face of disasters, we must have countermeasures."
Zhou Jue also stood up and stood next to Zhou Shuhai, but did not speak. In other words, he could not interrupt at all and did not know how to interrupt.
Zhou Shuhai was still hesitating. It was obvious that Zhang Hao's concept had given him a great impact.
Zhang Hao continued to speak slowly, but there was a faint hint of pressure in his tone. "Uncle Shi, what do you think of this? Xinglin Hall remains as it is, continuing to make alchemy, cure diseases, and save people. And the ore research and other things will be handed over to
The Zhang family will be solely responsible for any charges, infamy or notoriety in the future.
The Zhang family will use these powers to hold up a sky for the country of Qixia and the west of the fertile continent."
From now on, if you, Xinglintang, are good people, and we, the Zhang family, are bad people, why don’t you do it!
Zhou Shuhai's eyes gradually became lively. After thinking about it, it seemed... not bad. The current Xinglin Hall is of extraordinary significance. It is not only a holy place for alchemy, but also a place of hope. This place cannot be tarnished.
A tarnished land of hope cannot bring hope - at least that's what Zhou Shuhai thinks.
But...even if you, the Zhang family, are willing to be evil, why would you hand all this over to you? Besides, do you, the Zhang family, have the ability to take over these research materials?
Zhou Shuhai spoke slowly: "I hand these things over to you, can you catch them?"
Zhang Hao smiled: "Then please ask Uncle Shi to support a few talents."
Zhou Jue finally spoke: "Brother Shi, you are unreasonable. You need skills to ask for people. Don't you think...it's a bit too much?"
Zhang Hao said without hesitation: "The Zhang family is willing to provide one thousand tons of 99.9% black iron and buy out all the technology. In addition, in the next hundred years, we will unconditionally deliver ten thousand tons of 'naphtha' to Xinglin Hall every year."
.
As for the alchemists who come to the Zhang family to help, the Zhang family is not stingy, and the price starts at twice the market price!"
At this moment, Master Zhang felt like hitting someone with money.
Are there any requirements? Is one thousand tons of 99.9% dark iron enough? Ten thousand tons of naphtha per year, which is one million tons in one hundred years! If you think it's not enough, I can add more.
They are all industrial products anyway, and the Zhang family... has no shortage of them!
Zhou Shuhai was shocked by Zhang Hao's arrogance. He looked at Zhang Hao blankly for a long time... before he sighed slowly: "This matter... I'll think about it first."
Stop it! Zhang Hao is getting a little anxious. I finally managed to create an atmosphere. If you think back and think about it all at once, it will be in vain. This matter must be won in one go!
