Chapter 346 I haven't seen a single spiritual stone
But when Zhang Hao saw Fu Yun rushing towards him angrily and without touching the ground, he immediately stood up, with a smile on his face and a loud voice, "Congratulations, senior, on your release from seclusion!"
Well, Zhang Hao is congratulating you on "coming out of seclusion". In fact, meditation and retreat are different. Meditation can be regarded as a kind of conditioning, while retreat is practice.
When Master Zhang said ‘leave seclusion’, he was actually hurting his heart!
Fu Yun came with a majestic momentum, and a strong wind blew around him, making him feel like he was flying around. "Zhang Hao, you made me angry! Why are you congratulating me!"
"Ah... Senior can actually hear me?"
"Haha..." Fu Yun sneered, "I am meditating, not retreating. Boy, you want to trick my disciples away, right?"
Zhang Hao looked serious, "Senior, if you say this, I have an opinion. Senior, around twenty years old is the golden stage of cultivation for a cultivator.
During this time, we have enough knowledge and have our own thinking and direction, but our bodies are at their peak.
Perhaps the seniors would say that practitioners live a long life and do not seize the day.
But what I want to say is, time waits for no one!
Just like the saplings that have just sprouted, they are full of vitality in the seedling stage, and the breath of life can almost overflow. But those grown-up trees, although they are also full of vitality, lack vitality! As far as practitioners are concerned, they have also lost their vigor!
Even though we live a long life, the peak state of our natural growth is around the age of twenty. If we miss this time, we will need to work several times harder to make up for it in the future.
But if we seize this opportunity, we can lay a solid foundation. In the future, when others are making up for their mistakes, we are making brave progress!
The gap will quickly widen!
Senior, I don’t know what genius is. If there is a genius, he must have seized the opportunity, kept moving forward and surpassed himself.
The dead cannot be pursued, and the coming is uncertain. Only the present is what we can control!"
Fu Yun opened his mouth, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes. How could he not know these things? He knew better than Zhang Hao. But...
Zhang Hao looked at Fu Yun with a dim look in his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Senior, if I miss one day today, I may miss the stage of becoming a god because of this day in the future!
We cannot control the future. What we can do is control the present.
I didn't lie to Brother Shi, and of course I didn't give it away for nothing. The Mithril I gave to Brother Shi was what he deserved; it's just that he needs to repay it in the future.
Senior, do you think it is appropriate to obtain resources now and repay them later; or to miss opportunities now, accumulate wealth, and practice cultivation later?"
Zhang Hao pressed forward step by step, and Fu Yun's eyes grew darker. But at the next moment, he suddenly burst out, "You don't have to worry about my affairs!"
Zhang Hao shook his head and took a step forward, "I don't want to care. Really, senior and I are not relatives, we just met a few times. There is really no need to give such precious mithril to senior.
But today I saw a genius, a genius trapped in a corner. I seemed to see myself in the past, and I didn’t want my brother to miss the golden stage of practice.
Of course, I don’t have any requests. If we can form a good relationship, I think it would be okay to ask Brother Shi to help me when Dayang Group is in trouble in the future.”
When talking to real people, tell the truth.
To be honest, it made Fu Yun even more difficult to resist.
Ge Dong bit his lip and looked at Zhang Hao for a while and Fu Yun for a while. As a cultivator, Ge Dong certainly understood what Zhang Hao said. He also wanted to make progress, but as a disciple, he needed to take Fu Yun into consideration.
Cloud attitude.
However, Fu Yun still has to serve the country of Canglan for four to five years. It can be predicted that Fu Yun's life will still not be too comfortable during these four to five years.
In fact, there are several masters in the God Transformation Stage in Canglan Country. Why is it that Fu Yun is usually the one running errands?
Isn't there any cost for you to run errands during the transformation stage? Are you busy here, while others are cultivating there? How much will this delay for a hundred years!
As far as Zhang Hao knows, Fu Yun is a casual cultivator. A casual cultivator can practice to the stage of spiritual transformation, and his qualifications are beyond doubt. But in the past hundred years, it has been completely delayed. According to Ge Dong, his cultivation has actually declined.
!
Zhang Hao continued, "Senior, a person's peak state is approximately between the ages of 18 and 24.
This stage is the most precious. The older generation says that we are just newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers. But I think this is the stage when we are most energetic and enterprising.
After this age, we start to look forward and backward when doing things, and that is also the moment when we lose our energy. When that time comes, what can we do to make up for the lost youth?
Seniors, time waits for us not.
Because I believe in the character of my senior and I am optimistic about Brother Shi’s talent, I want to help him.
That's just three kilograms of mithril. Once the resources are used up, they can be regenerated. If the talent is lost, it will never be recovered.
As long as Brother Shi comes to our Dayang Group, I guarantee that all the cultivation resources can be provided in advance! It will definitely not delay Brother Shi’s practice time!”
Fu Yun held up his hands, and there were veins in his hands. He wanted to squeeze Zhang Hao to death now. Do you know how annoying your mouth is? But okay, you are right.
After thinking for a long time, Fu Yun finally sighed and made a decision. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhang, President Zhang, Minister Zhang, Young Master Zhang, I will entrust my disciple to you. I will remember this kindness."
Living."
You remember? Then why are you grinding your teeth?
"Master..." Ge Dong's face turned red, excited and embarrassed.
Fu Yun sighed and patted Ge Dong on the shoulder, "Zhang Hao is right. However, it's getting late today. Tomorrow you and Zhang Hao go together to the Country of Qixia and the Dayang Group. If you can, follow
Take the boat to see the Green Sea of Death and the Land of Turbulent Earth.
Also, practice hard!”
"Master, I will definitely work hard!" Ge Dong said almost swearing.
Fu Yun sighed again, "Zhang Hao, Ge Dong will be left to you."
Zhang Hao nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, senior, I, Zhang Hao, will always do what I say."
"Okay. Ge Dong, go to the restaurant next door and call for a banquet."
"Wait a minute, senior, I have something else to say." Zhang Hao immediately said, "Senior, I think... if Brother Shi comes to our place, he will not be able to feel at ease. He will have plenty of food and meat there, and will not lack anything.
I'm worried about the situation here, senior."
Fu Yun suddenly became angry. At this moment, he really wanted to slap Zhang Hao to death. If you didn't tell me, my stupid apprentice would never have thought of it. Only if you point it out now will he be worried!
Sure enough, Ge Dong stopped immediately and looked at Fu Yun at a loss.
Fu Yun endured and endured, looking at Zhang Hao with a very dangerous look, his teeth gritted, and finally coldly snorted, "Take a rest tonight, let's talk tomorrow."
Zhang Hao, you can find a place to stay by yourself. There is no dinner!"
Zhang Hao bared his teeth and smiled brightly. "It's okay, it's okay, senior, just practice on your own, and we'll go out to eat."
Fu Yun's footsteps suddenly froze, he suddenly turned around, waved his hand, and a strong wind swept Zhang Hao away, flying all the way, and hit a restaurant more than 500 meters away with a thud, smashing through the roof, and he fell to the floor with a thud.
Zhang Hao climbed up as if nothing had happened, patted off his clothes, and shouted, "Thank you, senior, for helping me show the way."
Then Master Zhang cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, everyone, all the food and drinks here today belong to me. The shopkeeper, give everyone new food and drinks. Also, go to the door and have a look, I have some followers coming over."
, in the direction of Senior Fu Yun’s mansion.
Also, send a banquet to Senior Fu Yun and ask for the best!"
"Okay!" The shopkeeper turned a blind eye to the mess around him and immediately ordered people to clean up and give everyone upstairs a new banquet table.
After the shopkeeper left, Zhang Hao laughed and said, "Everyone, excuse me. Zhang Hao, Senior Fu Yun just made a joke with me. It made everyone laugh."
The elegantly dressed young man next to him suddenly smiled after hearing this, "You are really capable of making Senior Fu Yun angry. By the way, Zhang Hao... I have vaguely heard of this name."
"Dayang Group, the one that builds steel battleships."
"It's you!" Many people stood up around him immediately, and the young master just stood up even more, "I have admired you for a long time, I am Lan Yecheng, my father's right-hand man, Lan Sixuan."
"It turns out to be Mr. Lan. Nice to meet you! The last few times I came here, I was in a hurry, but I didn't have time to visit the right minister. I'm treating you today. You can order whatever you want!"
Lan Yecheng laughed, "Haha, you're welcome. Everyone, let's eat today. We met a rich man. Dayang Group just signed an agreement with us for a steel battleship more than 20 days ago. The price is
Up to 60 million high-grade spiritual stones.
Everyone, eat hard and come back!"
"Sixty million...high-grade spiritual stones..." There was silence all around. Most of the people here were nobles, and of course they all understood what 60 million high-grade spiritual stones meant. Even at the peak of the Canglan Kingdom, this was the highest level in the country.
The total wealth of two years!
After a while, Ding Kui, Yan Qing, Dugu Junjie and others arrived, but Zhang Hao was chatting and laughing, and started discussing navigation, the open sea, the theory of a round earth, and even general industry and commerce with everyone.
What's more, Zhang Hao even invited everyone to visit Dayang Group and expressed that Dayang Group is willing to cooperate with the Land of Canglan and cooperate with everyone.
The banquet lasted until midnight, and many people, especially some businessmen, came after hearing the news. Zhang Hao also accepted all comers, adding a pair of chopsticks, a seat and a wine glass to each one.
During a banquet, Zhang Hao spent more than 8,000 high-grade spiritual stones, spiritual wine, spiritual fruits, and monster dishes. The shopkeeper even brought in the inventory and chefs from surrounding restaurants.
More than 8,000 high-grade spiritual stones are equivalent to 80 million low-grade spiritual stones. However, Zhang Hao also gained a lot. Through an accident, he got to know most of the nobles in the imperial capital of Canglan Kingdom! This is the biggest gain.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hao ran to Fu Yun's mansion again and saw Ge Dong's tired and red eyes, as well as Fu Yun's tired and helpless look.
However, after seeing Zhang Hao, there was still a little bit of anger in Fu Yun's eyes.
This time, before Fu Yun could speak, Zhang Hao took the initiative and said, "Senior, I have an immature suggestion. What do you think? I'll hire you for 1 million high-grade spiritual stones a year.
And the senior promised to protect the country of Canglan for 500 years, but there are less than five years left, right? We calculated it based on five years. I will compensate the country of Canglan with five million high-grade spiritual stones in one lump sum!"
When Fu Yun heard this, most of the anger and helplessness in his eyes disappeared instantly, "Compensation?"
"Yes! Senior, I know that I have made it difficult for you. On the one hand, it is the promise, and on the other hand, it is the future of the disciple, which makes it difficult for you. But in fact, I think this matter is not difficult.
First of all, senior, do you think the price of one million high-grade spiritual stones a year is acceptable?"
Fu Yun took a deep breath, "It's already very high. In fact, the country of Canglan doesn't treat me badly. There are not many resources for the other divine transformation stages. Roughly calculated, the other divine transformation stages only consume five dollars a year."
Six hundred thousand resources.”
"Now that senior has approved it, it will be easy to handle. I will go negotiate with the Country of Canglan on this matter. I promise not to embarrass senior."
Fu Yun sighed, "Thank you then."
"I am disturbing senior. Senior, brother, I will take my leave now. Senior, if you arrive at the negotiation site later, you don't need to speak, just leave everything to me."
"good."
"I'll see my brother off." Ge Dong excitedly sent Zhang Hao away.
After leaving Fu Yun's place, Zhang Hao directly visited Huang Shaoxian, the left minister he was most familiar with. Huang Shaoxian had just prepared to attend the morning meeting. After hearing what Zhang Hao meant, Huang Shaoxian immediately took Zhang Hao into the palace.
After a while, Fu Yun was also invited, and a negotiation began. Zhang Hao brought Yan Qing with him, and all the officials from the country of Canglan were indeed present. It was early morning time!
As soon as the negotiation began, Zhang Hao spoke first, with great justice, "Everyone, last night I heard a story that made my heart ache. A master in the transformation stage who has silently devoted his life to the country for nearly a hundred years was actually... hungry!
The first time when Senior Fu Yun brought me to the Land of Canglan, I met a woman at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage on the road. That woman actually pressed Senior Fu Yun and beat her.
At that time, I thought about the weak transformation stage.
However, I learned last night that Senior Fu Yun has not had enough resources to practice in the past hundred years. His cultivation has actually regressed! And this regression has endangered Senior Fu Yun's foundation.
Everyone, I don’t know if this is the case in other stages of divine transformation, but I can’t bear to see Senior Fu Yun here.”
Huang Shao, the left prime minister, first glanced at Fu Yun, who was silent next to him, and then at the emperor, whose face was unrecognizable but slightly gloomy. Then he turned to look at Zhang Hao, with a faint anger in his tone: "Zhang Hao, our country
Don't worry about the situation! You don't understand many situations, so this is a bit taken for granted.
When the late emperor rescued Fu Yun, Fu Yun swore..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhang Hao waved his hand, "I don't care what the situation was back then. As for swearing... Prime Minister, these two words cannot be used indiscriminately!
In fact, I think that the country of Canglan now owes Senior Fu Yun!
Not to mention anything else, just from a logical point of view, Senior Fu Yun is conscientious and loyal. During the time when I was in contact with Senior Fu Yun, he was always thinking about the country of Canglan and had no selfish motives. He transported so many
resources, but did not take a piece of spiritual stone that should not be taken!
Even though his disciples did not have enough resources for cultivation, he endured it silently and never told anyone, not even letting his own disciples speak out.
Prime Minister Zuo, a master who has silently contributed to the country of Canglan, has actually regressed in cultivation!
I would like to ask, Prime Minister Left, do you think it should be done?"
Zhang Hao believed that Fu Yun must not have sworn, otherwise Fu Yun would have told him this. In fact, no cultivator would swear randomly. Zhang Hao felt that it should have been a promise at that time, nothing more.
But even if it is a promise, it cannot be changed casually. It will affect the Taoist heart. Of course, it does not matter if you are a villain, but Fu Yun is afraid that he cannot be hasty.
Facing Zhang Hao's question, everyone in the Canglan Kingdom fell silent. Huang Shaoxian looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. He really didn't understand this. However, Zhang Hao really couldn't answer what he said.
At this time, the Right Prime Minister Lan Sixuan said, "This is indeed our negligence. Please let me apologize to Master Fu Yun for this."
After saying that, the Right Prime Minister actually stood up and apologized. Fu Yun nodded silently, but still did not speak. In fact, there was no grievance in his heart.
Zhang Hao smiled, "Now that the words have been spoken, let me speak frankly. On behalf of Dayang Group, I hire Senior Fu Yun at a price of 1 million high-grade spiritual stones per year. 1 million high-grade spiritual stones is the basic salary. If there is a task
Wait, the reward will be calculated separately.
Senior Fu Yun previously promised to protect the country of Canglan for a hundred years. Now it is the 96th year, and there are about four and a half years left. I will directly calculate the time of 5 years.
In the past five years, I have paid 5 million high-grade spiritual stones to purchase them. How about that?"
Wow... Before Zhang Hao finished speaking, there was already an uproar around him, and even the face of the Emperor of Canglan Kingdom changed.
This is a top-grade spiritual stone. Zhang Hao opened his mouth and asked for five million. This was almost the total national fiscal revenue of the Canglan Kingdom for more than two months during its peak period.
In fact, in recent years, as the resources of Western countries have become increasingly scarce, and with the rise of domestic aristocratic power, the financial revenue of the country of Canglan has also begun to decrease year by year.
Especially since war broke out last year and Qianlong Port was lost. Now although Qianlong Port has been regained, the sea has been blocked again. The country has become increasingly difficult.
As of now, it is already early March, and the fiscal revenue of the Country of Canglan is less than two million!
Next to him, there was a Transformation Stage man who came after hearing the news and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. As for the large number of Nascent Soul stage masters in the hall, they couldn't help but open their mouths. And everyone in the negotiation was also frustrated by Zhang Hao's conditions.
Jaw-dropping!
After a while, Left Prime Minister Huang Shaoxian said with some trembling, "Are you...serious?"
"Prime Minister Zuo, when have you ever seen me make such a joke?"
"Then..." Huang Shao glanced at the emperor first, and then said slowly, "This price... is very fair. Okay, as long as Master Fu Yun has no objection, we will agree.
What does Master Fu Yun think?"
Fu Yun still didn't speak, just nodded.
Zhang Hao said, "Mr. Zuo, the matter is settled. From now on, Senior Fu Yun will no longer be bound by your country.
Senior Fu Yun's cultivation has declined to a dangerous level and cannot continue to decline. He must immediately practice in seclusion."
Prime Minister Zuo looked at Zhang Hao, "We are sorry for Master Fu Yun. This matter has been settled. So, when will the spirit stones be sent?"
"Ah...sent it?" Zhang Hao looked surprised.
Huang Shaoxian suddenly became angry, "Didn't you just say five million high-grade spiritual stones?"
"Yes!" Zhang Hao looked serious and nodded firmly.
Huang Shaoxian gritted his teeth and said, "Where's the money?"
Zhang Hao had an "innocent" look on his face, "Just debit it from your account. Didn't you get a loan of 60 million from Luzhou Bank? I'll just deduct 5 million for you."
The kings and ministers of the country of Canglan...
I can't even see a single spiritual stone!
Huang Shaoxian opened his mouth slightly and looked at Zhang Hao. It made sense, but he still felt that something was wrong. But why did he want to beat Zhang Hao when he looked at Zhang Hao's "innocent" expression?
The expression of the Emperor of the Canglan Kingdom who was sitting high above him finally changed. Just a few seconds ago, he was dreaming of a very good deal, selling Fu Yunfu five million high-grade spiritual stones to subsidize the current Canglan.
It’s really a great deal in this country.
He is also planning to expand his army and attack Langya Kingdom from land so that you can block the sea.
But...but...the dream was shattered in just a few seconds.
At this moment, a murderous intention emerged in the emperor's heart for no reason. The emperor felt like he was being played.
But soon he had to suppress this murderous intention and asked Dayang Group to help build the steel battleship, and Dayang Group promised to complete the construction in half a year.
With this account stuck here, there is nothing the Country of Canglan can do. Sixty million... well, a fifty-five million high-grade spiritual stone loan is a lot of pressure.
Despite their dissatisfaction, everyone quickly signed a negotiation agreement.
Zhang Hao took away Fu Yun, who was in the stage of becoming a god, but he didn't leave behind a single spiritual stone, not even a note.
Even Fu Yun is a little confused. Why can't I understand?
