Tang Chenying hesitated for a while, and finally took the elixir. "My little disciple's foundation is not stable, and he needs this elixir to build his foundation, so he shamelessly accepted it."
Taking the elixir, Tang Chenying couldn't wait and opened it curiously. He saw a purple-black elixir lying quietly in the bottle, with a faint luxurious luster.
Different from the white, light yellow, and translucent colors of ordinary elixirs, this elixir was purple-black, with a faint sheen like a black pearl. Its pure and surging potency made Tang Chenying secretly frightened.
"Good elixir!" Tang Chenying couldn't help but admire. To himself, the value of this elixir exceeded that of the Ice Muscle Jade Bone Pill.
Zhou Shuhai nodded slowly, "Twelve third-level foundation-building pills are worth 120,000 high-grade spiritual stones. If fellow Taoists pay with elixirs, they can pay for medicinal materials worth 100,000."
"I don't have that many spiritual stones with me, nor any medicinal materials. I don't know if one Ice Muscle Jade Bone Pill is enough?"
Zhou Shuhai watched Tang Chenying take out an Ice Muscle Jade Bone Pill again, and nodded simply: "It's enough, but it's a bit expensive."
Tang Chenying came and left simply. Only Li Yuanyuan asked Zhou Jue to help convey a message before leaving: someone is paying attention to the Zhang family, and that person has a small turtle in his hand, the Nine Nether Turtle.
Watching the master and apprentice drift away, Zhou Jue couldn't help but admire: "Senior Tang, he is truly a man of unparalleled magnificence. It's a pity that he always feels a little indifferent."
"Perhaps it is due to the cultivation of skills. I am afraid that his cultivation has already exceeded the late Nascent Soul stage and should not be underestimated."
Zhou Jue nodded slowly. "By the way, Dad, I'm going to tell Zhang Hao that his family may be targeted by Lingwei Trading Company in the East."
"Well, go ahead."
Zhou Jue muttered as he walked. Everyone was an old acquaintance, so as soon as Li Yuanyuan spoke, Zhou Jue knew who it was. The one who likes to play with a turtle in his hand is still in the Nascent Soul stage, and those who pay special attention to the Zhang family, except Wang Ruiyang
There will be no one else.
Once upon a time, Xinglin Hall was very angry at Wang Ruiyang and his Lingwei Trading Company. He wanted to say 'no', but he didn't have the courage. But since the Zhang family, Xinglin Hall has not said 'no' anymore.
Don’t even say it!
No, it’s been so long since Lingwei Trading Company arrived this time, and I haven’t seen any of the middle and senior management of Xinglin Hall, only a few low-level deacons from the foundation building period.
Zhou Jue was shocked as soon as he entered the library. In just a short time, Zhang Hao turned over everything on the floor! The once tidy library became a garbage dump.
"Zhang Hao! What are you doing!" Zhou Jue was furious. This was all sorted out by his father. Although it was sold to your Zhang family, you can't waste it like this.
Zhang Hao was startled by Zhou Jue. Looking at Zhou Jue's darkened face, he smiled sheepishly: "Sorry, sorry, I'm so excited. Look what I found!"
Zhang Hao said, placing several scrolls in front of Zhou Jue: "Look, this is the fine gold vein! This is the mithril vein! And these veins are all in the country of Qixia!"
Zhou Jue had a dark line on his face: "I know all these mineral veins. They are not big, and they are all controlled by their families."
"Yes, it's just not big, so the Zhang family can buy it! I don't believe that they still won't let go after dozens of tons of black iron specially used for alchemy are smashed down!"
Zhou Jue's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Zhang Hao, tell me, what is the output of your Zhang family's black iron specially used for alchemy?"
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment: Ah ha, I accidentally got too excited. What I just said... was a bit easy. Zhang Hao blinked, "Well... actually, the output is still okay, and it should be enough to support Xinglin Hall."
need."
Zhou Jue didn't say anything, just looked at Zhang Hao blankly.
"Hey, look what I do!"
"Zhang Hao, do you believe that I said bad things about you in front of my sister? As much as you have made this place so messy, I don't even have to arrange it. Telling the truth is enough! If I add some more modifying words, such as throwing them around casually, it won't matter at all.
Not cherishing it, hehe..."
Zhang Hao's face turned dark instantly. "Okay, okay, the output of the black iron specially used for alchemy... well, it belongs to the Zhang family's secret. Let's do this. No matter how much black iron Xinglintang purchases from the Zhang family in the future,
, I will give you a starting price of 10 yuan for high-grade spiritual stones.
But you can’t tell anyone.”
"I want to ask about the production volume."
"Okay, an answer and a promise of permanent cooperation, which one do you want!" Zhang Hao shouted back domineeringly. It's amazing to have a younger sister. Believe it or not, I can skip over your brother and lure her in!
The two looked at each other with lightning in their eyes.
After a while, Zhou Jue also spoke domineeringly: "The starting price has been reduced to five spiritual stones!"
"It's unreasonable!" Zhang Hao turned around and left, "Do you want me to love you? It's just the base price of 10 yuan of high-grade spiritual stones. Okay, I'm still busy, don't disturb me! Don't worry, I'm very careful, don't be confused, but
Everything is put in order."
Zhou Jue looked at Zhang Hao's back for a while and nodded slowly. It seemed that the price of ten high-grade spiritual stones was not worth much, and the Zhang family still had to make a little more. Looking at the books on the ground, etc., it was indeed a show.
It's arranged in an orderly manner, although it's a bit messy, but it's not chaos after all.
Then Zhou Jue slowly spoke: "Let me tell you a piece of news. Wang Ruiyang of Lingwei Trading Company is eyeing you. Lingwei Trading Company is a trading firm in the Canglan Kingdom and the largest sales firm of black iron specially used for alchemy. The Zhang family is here
This rise has blocked other people's financial opportunities.
I'm afraid Wang Ruiyang won't let it go."
After that, he described Wang Ruiyang again, and finally warned Zhang Hao: "The turtle in his hand is not simple, be careful, don't miss it."
After that, he slammed the door and left.
Zhang Hao looked at the creaking door with a proud smile on his face. How much does the Zhang family's special black iron for alchemy cost? It is only twice as expensive as ordinary black iron. And what is the cost of ordinary black iron?
Less than one-fifth of the market value!
The reason why the Zhang family dares to donate 5,000 tons of dark iron to the country is because... the cost is really low!
After closing the door, Zhang Hao lowered his head and continued searching. In fact, he not only found fine gold, mithril, etc., but also lead and zinc ores.
Zhang Hao vaguely remembered that the number of neutrons in lead far exceeded the number of protons, but the strange thing was that there seemed to be no "lead" spiritual materials in this world.
As for Wang Ruiyang, Lingwei Trading Company, etc., Zhang Hao hasn't paid attention to them yet. Zhang Hao feels that as a disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect, and with Feng Zhiling by his side, he has nothing to fear about ordinary things.
…………
In the morning, when the sky was still a little dark, Xinglin Hall became lively. Today is the day of Xinglin Hall’s official alchemy competition.
Zhang Hao only squinted for a while and then got up early. Although he also wanted to sleep in, it was obvious that today was not the time to sleep in.
As soon as the sun appeared, there was already a buzz of people. In many places, people even started shouting to place bets. You could faintly hear that so and so will definitely enter the top ten, top five, etc., who is the favorite to win. Some people also said that Zhou Xueyao was injured today.
I'm afraid I won't be able to attend, so it's another variable.
Zhang Hao didn't place any bets. What he cared more about was the game itself.
Through the competition itself, you can see the situation of alchemy in the Western world, which is beneficial to Zhang Hao's prediction and inference of the general environment.
Since this place is known as the largest event in the Western world, it is equivalent to a microcosm of the entire Western spiritual world. And the trading houses coming from the East can be compared to the invasion of the East.
Through such judgment and analysis, Zhang Hao can have a clearer and intuitive understanding of the world.
At this time, the advantage of the Zhang family in renting an advertising space on the high platform was revealed, and it became the best viewing stand. Zhang Hao could sit on a chair and look at the crowded crowds of people around him leisurely.
The sun gradually rose, and at about seven o'clock, Zhou Shuhai, Zhou Jue, a large number of masters from Xinglin Hall, and masters (distinguished guests) from Qixia Kingdom, etc., appeared one after another. In the north of the square, there was already a row of people condensed with magic.
There is a high platform with mahogany Taishi chairs on it.
Zhou Shuhai sat at the top, and the others were arranged in order, men on the left and women on the right. At a rough look, there were thirty female alchemists, and almost two hundred male alchemists.
After sitting down, Zhou Shuhai spoke slowly: "All alchemists are required to arrive within one moment! Otherwise, it will be deemed as a waiver."
The sound was like ocean waves, sweeping across the entire alchemy competition square.
Some of the seed contestants in the alchemy competition finally arrived "belatedly".
