The waves are rolling and the sea breeze is hunting.
On the hill, on the edge of the cliff, Zhang Hao and the princess looked at each other.
The wind ruffled the princess's clothes, outlining her slim figure.
The veil undulates slightly, and at a close distance, the face behind can be faintly seen. In the blurred outline, you can see the straight nose and extraordinarily slender eyebrows.
This is not the kind of delicate and sweet Xiaojiabiyu face, but a bright and heroic face.
This is not a gentle little woman!
This is a princess who grew up in crisis.
At the same time, the princess was also observing Zhang Hao.
Originally, the princess's impression of Zhang Hao was that of Passerby A, or rather, Passerby A with some ability - better than Passerby B.
There are so many people who want to pursue me, but Zhang Hao still can’t be ranked among them.
At the age of eighteen, the cultivation level of the seventh level in the Qi refining stage may be good for ordinary people, but for a young master from a distinguished family, it is a bit unsatisfactory.
Generally speaking, a young master from an aristocratic family can obtain resources unimaginable by ordinary people since he was a child. At the worst possible age, at the age of eighteen, he should have the cultivation level of the early stage or even the middle stage of foundation building.
Therefore, the princess's first impression of Zhang Hao should be said to be very bad.
But at this time, looking at the high-spirited young man in front of her, the princess gradually changed her view.
Opening up to the sea sounds a bit absurd, but looking at the resolute face and affirmative eyes of the young man in front of her, the princess somewhat agreed.
At least Zhang Hao's last words aroused the princess's approval:
Exploring the sea may not necessarily succeed, but the Eastern Expedition must not succeed.
Zhang Hao's words "There is no room for success" shocked the princess greatly. This simple sentence perfectly explained the history of Qixia Kingdom's defeat in recent years.
In fact, the princess herself knew very well that the Eastern Expedition was not for victory, but for survival!
But no one doesn't want to win.
Faced with Zhang Hao's almost provocative look, the princess was not angry.
Suddenly, the princess turned her head and looked at the sea in the distance, and a faint sigh came from her mouth.
Next to her, several female guards looked surprised. This was the first time that the princess was at a disadvantage in a competition with others.
After a while, the princess suddenly asked, "Zhang Hao, even if we can go to the sea, where can we go? Is it really possible to find the legendary Nine Immortals Mountain?"
Zhang Hao did not answer, but asked: "Princess, have you seen "Kuo Di Xiang"?"
"I've seen it. There are copies in the City Lord's Mansion. Recently, "Kuodixiang" and "Overseas Nine Immortals Mountains" have become very popular."
"Then princess, do you think if we go south from here, can we reach the southern continent from the Green Sea of Death?"
The princess gradually regained her composure: "If "Kuodi Xiang" is correct, then the distance from us to the Tuotu Continent will be more than ten thousand miles away.
The marine monsters near the seaside are already so powerful, and in the deep sea, they are even more terrifying.
How confident do you have to be wandering thousands of miles away on the green sea of death full of monsters?"
Zhang Hao stared at the side of the princess and said word by word: "Your Highness, we have no choice!"
The princess was silent for a while, and then she said calmly: "Okay, I will report your thoughts to my father. I can only pass the message on my behalf and have no decision-making power."
Unconsciously, the princess no longer calls herself "this palace".
Zhang Hao's face immediately showed joy: "Thank you princess for being willing to listen to these ridiculous remarks."
"You also know how absurd it is?" The princess finally showed a smile, which seemed a little naughty.
Zhang Hao chuckled: "A common man will laugh when he hears it. A wise man will gain something if he listens to it."
"You're still boasting."
"Princess, I have a heartfelt request."
"Since it's an unkind invitation, don't say it."
"..."
Seeing Zhang Hao's stunned expression, the princess laughed softly: "Okay, I'll give you a chance, let's talk."
"Two requests. First, I want to search for some shipbuilding craftsmen and related personnel. Second, I want to buy some high-end elixirs from the princess, such as those that will help the Golden Elixir stage break through the Nascent Soul stage."
"You are really asking for it without mercy. I have the elixir, one ton of black iron with a purity of 96%, one pill; I can exchange you for ten pills at most.
As for the craftsmen, let me ask you about them after I return to the palace.
Shipbuilding craftsmen are hard to find."
"Wait a minute, Your Highness Princess, we can now produce black iron with a purity of up to 95%."
"Do you think I believe it?"
"..."
"Just think of it as my unkind invitation.
I will wait at the City Lord’s Mansion for three days. Within three days, I will use 10 tons of 96% black iron in exchange for 10 ‘Infant Transformation Pills’. Don’t wait until the time comes!”
After that, the princess turned around and left in a cool and calm manner.
Zhang Hao looked at the vast and distant team and smiled. He will be busy again tonight.
It seemed that the princess really came to see the sea and did not stay in Changshan Town. By the time Zhang Shengye got the news and wanted to come out to greet her, the princess had already left Changshan Town.
"Little Mouse, tell me, why don't you invite the princess to come and sit down with you when the princess is here?" Zhang Shengye looked like he hated iron.
The princess has come with you to watch the sea, why can't you show some expression?
Zhang Hao smiled helplessly: "Second uncle, I don't dare to invite you. I'm afraid that after the princess comes in, all the secrets of our family will be lost."
Zhang Shengye:......
Then, Zhang Hao talked about the deal with the princess.
Zhang Shengye could not deny the matter of navigation for the time being; but he was extremely surprised by the 'Huaying Dan'.
"Can I really get the Huaying Pill?"
"Second uncle, ten tons of 96% black iron are exchanged for 10 pills. What's your expression?"
Zhang Shengye shook his head: "Little mouse, you have to think so.
Generally speaking, one Infant Transformation Pill is enough to allow a person with excellent qualifications and the peak of the Golden Pill to enter the Nascent Soul stage.
Two Infant Transformation Pills can allow those with ordinary qualifications or aging, who are at the peak of the Golden Pill Stage, to enter the Nascent Soul Stage.
Four to five Infant Transformation Pills can allow those in the late Golden Pill stage to enter the Nascent Soul stage in a very short period of time.
Therefore, ten Huaying Pills can usually be regarded as five potential Nascent Soul Stage masters."
"Wealth can be calculated, but the value of a master in the Nascent Soul stage cannot be calculated.
At least, masters in the Nascent Soul stage can snatch wealth.
Therefore, Huaying Dan has always had a price but no market.
Countless cultivators at the peak of the Golden Elixir stage, especially those who are aging, are willing to go bankrupt and even go to any lengths for the Infant Transformation Pill!
Moreover, refining the Infant Transformation Pill is difficult, the success rate is extremely low, and the elixir is difficult to find; the Yuanying master also involves the balance of the major forces.
Therefore, there are very few Huaying Pills that can actually reach the market, and most of them are sold through auctions."
Only then did Zhang Hao suddenly realize that although it seemed that he had bought it very expensively, the Infant Transformation Pill could still be sold for even more expensively!
Some commodities are destined not to have a ‘regular’ price. Their “actual value” has little to do with “cost” and is directly linked to the application environment, application field, actual effect, etc.
"It seems like we still have an advantage?"
"Yes."
"Then why does the princess want to help us?"
"Maybe the princess also wants to see your sailing plan." After a pause, Zhang Shengye asked carefully: "Little mouse, is your sailing... reliable?"
"Second uncle, let me show you something."
"No, let's get the high-purity black iron out first. Then we can get the Infant Transformation Pill that doesn't belong to us first!"
