Zhang Hao figured out exactly what Xuanzhen Sect meant and left almost no room when he spoke. The atmosphere suddenly solidified. With Liu Dingshan's words of "I support," the atmosphere was pushed to the edge of explosion.
Taoist Guanyun took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath, but his eyes gradually became colder. "Zhang Hao, right? Since you said that the winner has the right to end the war, do you mean to say that you want to fight the Xiaoyao Party?"
"Oh, senior, you scared me to death, how could I dare? I just want to say that since Taoist Priest Dingshan intervened in the war, he must be prepared... to have his arms chopped off!!!
War is not a place where you can come and leave whenever you want. If Taoist Dingshan wants to take back his spiritual thoughts without paying any price, that is impossible!
In this war, the Kingdom of Qixia lost a total of various wealth, roughly estimated to be 40 million high-grade spiritual stones. Including war losses, personnel losses, national destruction, etc. The entire Kingdom of Qixia was emptied by half. In the next thirty to fifty years
I'm afraid I won't be able to recover.
Hey, senior, tell me, who did we offend? We actually suffered such losses, almost destroying the country. Millions of people were displaced, and almost every family in the Qixia country wore mourning.
Senior, what do you think we should do?"
Taoist Master Guanyun frowned, "Little guy, you are wrong! We are not talking about war."
"No, since Taoist Priest Dingshan is involved in the war, we must negotiate from the perspective of war. Senior, do you know that Taoist Priest Dingshan is so cruel this time?
Senior Xie Yingxin actually took the spiritual clone of Taoist Master Dingshan with him, but kept it secret. This was clearly his plan to kill Senior Liu Dingshan.
In this war, if our side is a little slower, Senior Liu Dingshan will definitely be besieged by Xie Yingxin, Zhao Kai, and Taoist Master Dingshan. He will definitely die! And at that time, the country of Qixia... I am afraid it will be destroyed.
Senior, you said we should ask for some compensation, should we?"
Taoist Master Guanyun was furious: "You are spitting blood! You are talking nonsense! Liu Dingshan is already in the late stage of becoming a god!"
"But Senior Liu Dingshan only reached the late stage by luck a few days ago; Xie Yingxin, Zhao Kai, and Taoist Master Dingshan didn't know. They did miscalculate, but the miscalculation was because they were stupid and could not offset their murderous intentions and motives!
"
Taoist Master Guanyun finally couldn't bear it anymore. He turned to look at Hongzhenzi with a growl in his voice: "Hongzhenzi, this is your disciple of Xuanzhen Sect!"
A faint sneer appeared on Hongzhenzi's face: "Yes, that's good! There's nothing wrong with arguing with reason and fighting for your own interests. Since you have intervened in the war, it is still a war within the scope of our Xuanzhen Sect, and you are even more attracted by us.
Once you have grasped the handle, you must make some gesture.
Fellow Taoist, please don't say that Xie Yingxin transformed into a spirit with fellow Taoist Dingshan's spiritual thoughts just for the sake of looking good.
By the way, according to Taoist friend Liu Dingshan’s description, if my prediction is correct, then what Xie Yingxin is carrying should be a ‘combat puppet’, the kind of combat puppet that can exert 80% of its combat power in a short period of time!
Haha, when you get to the battlefield, bring a battle puppet with you, tsk tsk..."
With that said, Hongzhenzi took the little wooden figure from Taoist Master Mingxu and said to Taoist Guanyun: "Do you want to get this divine mind back?"
Taoist Guanyun said nothing, but looked at the little wooden figure with a tangled and passive expression.
"Then you negotiate with Zhang Hao." Hongzhenzi showed a teasing smile, "I am quite interested in the war compensation proposed by Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao, come over here and I’ll tell you something about the situation.”
Zhang Hao came to Hongzhenzi's side, and Hongzhenzi sent a message: "Zhang Hao, you performed well today. You were able to force a person in the transformation stage to look helpless. Very good, continue.
On our side, we originally wanted to let the Xiaoyao Sect apologize and compensate a little for some elixirs and spiritual materials. But I changed my mind today and leave it to you.
The God Transformation Stage is a pillar, and even the Holy Land cannot be lost. The God Transformation Stage of the Xiaoyao Sect is estimated to be around forty, and the loss of even one God Transformation Stage will have a huge impact.
Therefore, as long as the conditions are right, they will still give in."
Zhang Hao knew it in his mind and had a rough idea of the power of the Holy Land. There were a hundred countries in the entire Fertile Continent; based on the two gods in each country, there were two hundred.
If each of the three Holy Lands has 40 people in the stage of becoming gods, and considering the Holy Land's excellent inheritance and solid cultivation foundation, the power of the Three Holy Lands would be enough to compete with the entire Fertile Continent.
In this way, we can also calculate the value of a Transformation God and its effect on the Holy Land. One Transformation Soul is almost equivalent to half a country! But half the country's wealth may not necessarily be exchanged for a Transformation God.
Expect!
Zhang Hao knew it well, but during the negotiation... Zhang Hao was playing a trick. "We won't negotiate alone."
"Not negotiating alone? What do you mean?" Taoist Master Guanyun has always been in a passive state today, feeling dizzy and overwhelmed by Zhang Hao's various questions today.
"That's the literal meaning! This time, the Kingdom of Jinyang was defeated, and Taoist Master Dingshan stood in the camp of the Kingdom of Jinyang. So what I meant was that a war between the Kingdom of Qixia and the Kingdom of Jinyang was launched.
war negotiations.
The matter of Taoist Master Dingshan is placed in this negotiation.
As for the issue of how to distribute war compensation between the Xiaoyao Sect and the Kingdom of Jinyang, we... will not participate!"
As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, Liu Dingshan, Taoist Master Mingxu, and Hong Zhenzi's eyes brightened. Zhang Hao's approach was very good! First of all, he avoided a direct collision with the Xiaoyao Sect, and in this way he could be cruel.
Secondly, in the eyes of outsiders, the Xiaoyao Sect has instigated the rebellion of the Kingdom of Jinyang - you must be responsible. If you are too stingy in the end, it will affect the reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Invisibly, a big hole has been dug for the Xiaoyao Sect before the negotiations even started!
Taoist Priest Guanyun naturally saw the problem, but in the end he had to nod. If the stalemate here continues, he may not be able to help but beat Zhang Hao into a meat pie. This bastard is too abominable.
Who knows what other evil ideas there are.
Thanks to his young age and the support of the Xuanzhen Sect, Zhang Hao dared to say anything and did whatever he wanted to do.
However, just as the saying goes, Zhang Hao's trick of seeking death made it difficult for Taoist Guanyun to resist. This is not a competition in cultivation, but a competition in seeking death.
The matter of negotiation was finally settled, and everyone agreed to hold negotiations in ten days, which would be held at Huaishan Pass, the pass between Qixia Kingdom and Jinyang Kingdom.
After the agreement was reached, Taoist Guanyun left angrily; and Liu Xinyu sent an envoy to inform the Kingdom of Jinyang - Although we did not continue the attack, you were defeated, but you have to pay a price, otherwise we would not mind helping the Kingdom of Danyang.
Recover, and then send troops to attack you together!
…………
Things came to an end for now, but Zhang Hao started to get busy. First, he took the two God-Transformation Stages to experience the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation in the ruins of Guangling City, which amazed both God-Transformation Stages.
After seeing this large formation, Hongzhenzi made an immediate decision to purchase three sets of such formations and produce them according to the size of large, medium and small.
The small size requires a range of one kilometer, and the medium size requires a range of ten kilometers - which is the current one. There are also large sizes - you can make them as big as you can.
As long as you tell them the cost and the precious spiritual materials that need to be used, such as star fine gold, etc., the Xuanzhen Sect will send them. The three sets of large formations will all be produced by Dayang Group.
Finally, Hongzhenzi asked Zhang Hao how much it was expected to cost.
Zhang Hao roughly calculated: "We are not sure about the largest formation yet. But for the one-kilometer range and the ten-kilometer range, it is estimated that about 600 tons of high-grade steel and black iron will be used, and 600 tons of black iron will be used for alchemy.
!”
"Hiss... isn't that very expensive?" Hongzhenzi was a little worried. Six hundred tons of black iron specially used for alchemy, wouldn't the price be an astronomical figure, right?
Zhang Hao looked around, and Liu Dingshan left consciously.
Zhang Hao whispered: "Master, great uncle, due to technological advancement of this Zhang family, the cost price of black iron used for alchemy... is very low."
"Oh...how much?"
"20 spirit stones."
"It's not cheap either?" Hongzhenzi said softly.
"It's a low-grade spiritual stone, not a high-grade spiritual stone."
"Pfft..." Hongzhenzi was shocked, "So cheap?"
"Um!"
Feng Zhiling groaned: "It's so cheap! No wonder you never let me get close to that research base. Then your minimum selling price is 20 high-grade spiritual stones. This price... is ten thousand times more! You are so ruthless
!”
"There is no business without treachery. Besides, if I sell it cheaply, people still won't believe it. In fact, although our cost price is very low, the price of a product does not only refer to the calculated cost. It also calculates the technology!
The cost can be calculated, but the technology cannot.
What the Zhang family is today is entirely the result of technological progress. Master and uncle, if you have time, I will take you to visit the Zhang family's production base."
Of course, Taoist priests Mingxu and Hongzhen were curious.
Master Zhang took Master Yibai and his uncle to visit his home site. He first saw the Xuantie Factory and felt the power of industrialization, and then test-fired artillery in the still desolate place of Luanci Mountain; and then came to
The Zhang family’s shipbuilding base!
Along the way, Taoist Master Mingxu and Hong Zhenzi were constantly amazed, while Feng Zhiling remained silent the whole time. They saw that the industrially produced black iron was 97% pure as soon as it came out of the furnace. They also saw the madness of the artillery, ten of them.
The salvo of 300mm artillery was so earth-shattering that even in the stage of transformation, one felt a little bit of danger.
Finally, I saw the huge steel ship directly in front of me, and I was even more horrified.
At this time, the giant steel ship was 90% complete. Cannons and superstructures had been installed on the giant ship. However, it had not been painted yet, and it looked a little gray.
However, this gray color does not give people a "shabby" feeling, but instead has an indescribable heaviness.
Even Hongzhenzi couldn't help but touch the body of the giant steel ship with his hands, feeling its strong power, and felt inexplicably shocked in his heart.
The current warship has almost completed its outfitting, and its weight is as high as 2,600 tons! These 2,600 tons are all made of steel, and it is the top-notch steel, the kind that is forged with black iron specially used for alchemy.
of steel.
When the outside world is still worried about the lack of black iron used for alchemy, and when the headmaster of Xuanzhen Sect is rejoicing at the few kilograms of ultra-high purity black iron, the Zhang family has already used steel to build ships. Moreover, it is
Two thousand six hundred tons!
Because this giant steel ship is simply outfitted, the artillery is not too complicated. The gun mount is removed, a fixed bracket is added, and a simple hydraulic device is added to replace the thick benzene spring. However, due to technical limitations,
Today's hydraulic devices are also a bit bulky.
But all this cannot conceal the power of the giant ship.
In addition, in order to better increase the storage space, Zhang Hao also used the star fine gold that was "saved" during the process of refining the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation to add several considerable storage spaces. These storage spaces
The space is mainly used to store food, elixirs, spiritual stones, etc., as well as some important items.
And considering that storage space is not 100% reliable - this time the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation is an example, so all supplies have separate storage spaces outside for emergency purposes.
Zhang Hao took two big guys from the Xuanzhen Sect to visit the battleship inside and out, and they were very careful, fearing that there was something the two big guys didn't understand.
"Wait!" Hongzhenzi pulled Zhang Hao, "Little guy, the previous visits were all just a quick tour. Even the artillery production base, steel production base, steam turbine and machine tool production base, etc., you still didn't take us to visit
.But you are so enthusiastic about the shipbuilding base.
It was so enthusiastic that I was a little frightened.
Tell me what your plans are!"
"Oh... I knew I couldn't hide it from my uncle and master."
"Don't interrupt!" Taoist Master Mingxu glared at Zhang Hao.
"Well...actually, this giant steel ship is what I want to show to my uncle and master. To be precise, I want to show my uncle and master a brand new future - the Ocean Road!
Master, do you still remember the "Kuodi Xiang" and the "Overseas Nine Immortals Mountains" on the Kuo Di Xiang?"
"Of course!" Taoist Master Mingxu agreed without hesitation. This "Kuo Di Xiang" was the root cause of his family's annihilation; and the reason why he was able to accept Zhang Hao as his disciple was also related to this "Kuo Di Xiang".
The reason why the incident caused such a fuss in the first place was also related to the "Overseas Nine Immortals Mountains" in "Kuodixiang".
Hongzhenzi looked at Zhang Hao and said with some shock: "You don't want to find the Nine Immortals Mountain overseas, do you?"
"Why not!" Zhang Hao stood at the bow of the ship and gently touched the railing, "Uncle Master, this giant steel ship now is just the Zhang family's, the first giant ship of the Dayang Group, and there will be more in the future.
There will be bigger ones.
Our first goal is to build a 300-meter steel battleship to conquer the sea!
I want to explore the other side of the ocean!
Since the beginning of history, the scope of our activities has never exceeded "Kuodixiang". But I don't believe that we are the only one in this world. There must be a wider world outside.
I want to see where the sun rises, where the moon sets, and where the legendary Nine Immortals Mountains are located overseas. I want to see where the end of the world is.
What!"
Zhang Hao's voice was not loud and very gentle. But in these light words, there was a majestic momentum.
I want to see where the sun rises!
This sentence echoed in the minds of Taoist Master Mingxu and Hong Zhenzi, making the two masters of the God Transformation Stage speechless for a long time.
This time, Zhang Hao didn't say that the earth is round. Others wouldn't understand what he said and would easily regard it as crazy. So this time, Zhang Hao learned the lesson wisely.
But what Xue Chongming said shocked both Taoist Master Mingxu and Hong Zhenzi. These words were majestic.
Taoist Master Mingxu looked at Zhang Hao's back and was a little lost for a moment - is this his disciple? At this moment, Taoist Master Mingxu suddenly had a strange feeling: As a disciple of his, his future achievements will definitely far exceed his own.
.
After a while, Zhang Hao slowly turned his head and looked at Taoist Master Mingxu and Hong Zhenzi: "Master, uncle, this is what I want to say to you two today.
I just want to explore the sea, which is full of dangers. I can build a giant ship, but I don’t have... a master!"
This is a dangerous world, and it is difficult to move forward without masters. Zhang Hao brought Taoist Master Mingxu and Hongzhenzi here today. The most important thing is to "cooperate".
But speaking of it, this is a bit risky, and Zhang Hao cannot guarantee whether the Xuanzhen Sect will cooperate or possess it. But sometimes, there are always risks.
And Zhang Hao also had the worst plan - if the Xuanzhen Sect really takes possession, then the worst he can do is...defect!
In fact, the reason why Zhang Hao took Taoist Mingxu and Hongzhenzi to visit the Xuantie Factory to test artillery and inspect the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation was to 'increase his own value' and prevent Xuanzhen from making irrational judgments.
Of course, there is another thing that prompted Zhang Hao to make this decision - once a teacher, always a father! This is an unshakable rule in this world.
In short, Zhang Hao has been planning carefully for a long time for this final meeting.
The most important thing is that all future actions will inevitably be unable to avoid the Xuanzhen Sect. Rather than being secretive, it is better to be open and honest.
Sometimes, it is about finding wealth and wealth in danger, being cautious and constrained, and how to do big things.
Obviously, Taoist Master Mingxu and Hongzhenzi were not fools, and they slowly figured out what Zhang Hao meant.
After a while, Hongzhenzi sighed with emotion: "After I was a child, I still remember what Master said to me, and I still remember it.
If you don’t have long-term aspirations, how can you go far?
Zhang Hao, today I will give you this sentence.
Likewise, today, on behalf of the Xuanzhen Sect, I would like to give you a promise: develop with confidence. The reason why the Xuanzhen Sect has been able to grow continuously over the years is because... we have been silently supporting the development of each disciple from behind."
"Thank you, uncle." Zhang Hao was overjoyed.
Hongzhenzi patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "Actually, the Xuanzhen Sect... has been in trouble for a long time. You may not know that your six Western countries have been exploited, and the Xuanzhen Sect has also been blocked by the two holy places in the East. We have also been looking for
A new direction of development.”
After hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately said seriously: "I will definitely find a new way for the West, the fertile continent, and for the Xuanzhen Sect!"
After a pause, Zhang Hao patted the railing and said: "If you don't have long-term ambitions, how can you go far... I plan to name the first giant ship - the Zhiyuan. Zhang Hao is bold and asks my great-uncle to inscribe an inscription on the giant ship!"

(I can’t write anymore. Not only my hands are tired, but my heart is also tired. These days, I have to calculate my sleeping time.

Before this challenge, an author friend warned me not to update too much, because if there are too many, people will go back and read pirated copies. I said I didn’t believe it, and I thought my subscription performance would improve.
But the actual data is very disappointing. Average bookings have continued to decline. And apart from the monthly ticket red envelopes issued by the system, there was not a single monthly ticket that was naturally released today. The number of recommended tickets remained the same over the same period.
Tianya doesn't ask for many rewards, but recommendation tickets are available every day, so why are there not many. I beg for a normal subscription, but it's not too much. It's really difficult to ask for the genuine version.
