"Dayang Daily" was finally published, and Dayang Group became popular again. The newspaper appeared, and a new way of information dissemination appeared in front of the public. The content of the newspaper for the first time was very exciting.
On it, the navigation lines controlled by the Ocean Group were actually published, as well as the coastlines to the west of the Fertile Continent, the western coast of the Great Earth Continent, and related ports.
In addition, it also published the current territorial situation of Qixia Kingdom, and even included the western part of the Fertile Continent, the railway route, and the planned route.
There are also cars, hot air balloons, steel battleships, etc. A newspaper, an atmosphere of industry and commerce blows in your face.
As for direct politics and so on, the first issue of the newspaper did not touch on it at all.
Zhang Hao personally served as the editor-in-chief of the first issue of the newspaper, and the content was certainly exciting. From an industrial and commercial perspective, it explained the power of Dayang Group and the Kingdom of Qixia.
Finally, he mentioned the news about encountering a mirage dragon on this voyage, and said that we were going to slay the dragon soon.
At the end, a new super ballista, the 'Dragon-Slaying Weapon', is attached, which can shoot through an excellent steel plate with a thickness of 30 centimeters, which is equivalent to the entire defensive capability of the late-stage God Transformation.
The newspaper announced that the entire Qixia Kingdom was in a state of excitement. But in this case, Zhang Hao brought the Sword Heroes and his wife to Ninghe County and even the most unique place in the entire Qixia Kingdom, Jiuzhen Tower!
Zhang Hao's first luxurious meal was at Jiuzhenlou. Later, he hosted Feng Zhiling here as well.
After several contacts, Zhang Ao was already slightly wary of Jiuzhenlou. At that time, Jiuzhenlou was able to catch the dragon, and he didn't even need the dragon's fishing rod.
Later, the political situation fluctuated, but Jiuzhenlou was never affected; however, Jiuzhenlou did not participate in these things, and they managed their own business safely.
In the Kingdom of Danyang, the Kingdom of Jinyang, etc., there are Jiuzhen Towers.
In the past wars, everyone also ignored this existence.
Zhang Hao also investigated repeatedly, but he didn't find much information. He only knew that the power behind the Jiuzhen Tower was terrifying and nonsense. Whether it was flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the sea, as long as you were willing to spend money, people would do it.
I can get it for you!
This ability is no small matter!
Zhang Hao contacted him several times, but he finally had to come to visit in person. Mainly because Zhang Hao felt that he should now be qualified to visit the power behind Jiuzhen Tower.
As soon as Zhang Hao arrived at Jiuzhen Tower, he saw Hu Juncheng, the shopkeeper of Jiuzhen Tower, already standing at the gate, with several gorgeously dressed 'maids' standing beside him. However, the cultivation of these maids were all at the Nascent Soul stage.
!
As soon as Zhang Hao approached, Hu Juncheng took the initiative to welcome him. He laughed from afar and said, "I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but finally Mr. Zhang is here."
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Hu Juncheng for a long time, and finally nodded: "Lead the way!"
Smart people don't need to say too much. Obviously Hu Juncheng has been waiting for a long time.
When Zhang Hao and Hu Juncheng walked to the door, several 'Nascent Soul Stage' maids on both sides immediately bowed: "Welcome."
For a time, various sounds such as crisp, coquettish, glutinous and elegant, with a hint of mature magnetism merged into a heavenly sound. Even Zhang Hao felt that it was crisp to the bone for a moment.
A group of almost impeccable maids in the Nascent Soul stage...
Is this a demonstration? Or is it serious?
Zhang Hao became increasingly vigilant. The water in this Jiuzhen Tower was very deep!
This time Hu Juncheng went directly to the top floor. There was a small floor above the ninth floor. There was no one-foot-high space like the one below, only eight feet in height. Compared with the floors below, it was a bit cramped.
But here, there was already a plainly dressed man with no discernible aura, standing at the door waiting.
Zhang Hao carefully observed the other party. Although he could not see his aura, his demeanor was extraordinary. Zhang Hao was sure that the other party was definitely in the God Transformation stage, and most likely in the late stage of God Transformation!
Judging from his appearance, he looks forty years old and looks elegant; but judging from his demeanor and the air of age on his body, he looks like an old monster.
At this time, he was looking at Zhang Hao with a smile.
Zhang Hao came to the other party generously and raised his hands, "I wonder what you call me, senior?"
"Oh...why don't you introduce yourself?"
Zhang Hao looked directly at the other person with a confident look on his face: "Then what do you want to hear from me, senior? The theory of round earth and the person who discovered the Tianyuan Star? Or the pioneer of open sea routes? Or the leader of industry and commerce?"
Zhang Hao is very confident. He believes that if a master like the other party is waiting for him, he will naturally not do it for the position of minister of Qixia Country. And the most influential and general things at present are the above three things.
Sure enough, the other party laughed and said, "Young Master Zhang is indeed smart. I, Dongguo Mingyun, come from the Kunlun Island in the East, or more precisely, from West Kunlun, or West Kunlun Island."
He is from Jiuzhenlou, the general person in charge of Feituzhizhou.
In fact, I have been paying attention to you for a long time, but considering the chaos in Qixia Kingdom in the past, and for fear of causing misunderstandings, I have not taken any action.
Please forgive me."
"It's Zhang Hao who has only come to visit me now, keeping me waiting for a long time." Zhang Hao said modestly, "I didn't expect that my senior would come from the Kunlun Continent. This is a bit unexpected."
"Sit down, I've been preparing for today's meeting for a long time."
The shopkeeper Hu Juncheng next to him became a servant, busy in front of him; the Yuan Ying period maid next to him stood quietly, silent, like a sculpture.
Dong Guo Mingyun spoke, "Jiuzhen Tower itself does not only provide food ingredients, etc. In fact, Jiuzhen Tower is an organization for loose cultivators in the world."
As he spoke, Dongguo Mingyun's eyes were a little distant, "A long time ago, the life of casual cultivators was very difficult. We had no resources, no skills, and no status!
The masters from those families, sects, and even the country beat and scolded us at will, even if they killed us, they could not do anything.
It wasn't until 30,000 years ago that a casual cultivator named "Zhu Shangqian" accidentally broke through to the stage of divine transformation.
But Zhu Shangqian didn't expect this at first, but when he was in seclusion, his daughter was actually killed by a good-for-nothing young master from a wealthy family... Nugan!
From then on, Zhu Shangqian gathered various scattered practitioners and gradually formed the prototype of Jiuzhen Tower.
We gather together to resist insults. We say no to the sects that monopolize elixirs. We obtain our own cultivation resources, refine elixirs and weapons by ourselves, and study exercises by ourselves. We will even attack some sects and rob them of their skills.
Law.
It was a chaotic era.
We were hunted down, and in times of crisis we were almost destroyed. But relying on the collective fight of the casual cultivators, we gradually rose up and had our own sky!
Nowadays, the reason why martial arts are flying all over the world including the earth and elephants is our credit!"
Zhang Hao opened his mouth wide. The excitement of this world seemed to far exceed his imagination!
Dongguo Mingyun paused for a moment and continued, "Do you know why the Xuanzhen Sect appeared 30,000 years ago? At that time, there was a melee in Kunlun Continent, and an unprecedented war broke out between casual cultivators and traditional sects and families. At the last moment, the two sides even
There are masters who have surpassed the stage of becoming gods to fight.
The sliver of sky on your Qiufeng Ridge is what was left from the battle that year.
That battle tore the earth apart. Now in the west of Kunlun Continent, there is a large island called "West Kunlun" with a radius of about 20,000 miles. It is the trace of the battle that year.
The battle that year directly tore the Kunlun Continent apart. In the west of the Kunlun Continent, fire erupted, the sea dried up, and all life was reduced to ashes. The sky was cloudy for three months, and the earth was covered with frost.
In that war, we were at a disadvantage. But if the other party wanted to exterminate us, they would have to pay a heavy price. They even had to be prepared for the sinking of Shenzhou! With our determination to die together, we finally won the opportunity.
Later, due to heavy losses and our covert operations, which led to internal divisions in the coalition forces, we finally turned defeat into victory.
But we also suffered heavy losses, almost everyone was injured, and in the end both sides had to cease the war and gradually accepted us."
Zhang Hao's heart was pounding. Masters who had transcended the stage of becoming gods joined the battle. The land of the divine continent sank, the sea dried up... This series of words was like a myth and legend.
But Zhang Hao believed that what the other party said was true. Any expert from Kunlun Continent would be able to find out such a thing. Zhang Hao looked at the Swordsman and Sword Hero couple next to them, and they nodded slowly.
.
Having said that, after giving Zhang Hao time to think, Dongguo Mingyun finally revealed his true purpose: "On behalf of West Kunlun, I want to invite Dayang Group to join!"
Zhang Hao slowly picked up the tea cup, took a few sips, and then slowly asked: "Senior, do you think Dayang Group will definitely join?"
"I think you can!" Dongguo Mingyun was very confident, "Listen to me and explain it one by one."
"First of all, we are a casual cultivator... well... we can call it a mutual aid organization. It is a free organization. You can join as you like, and you can leave as you like.
As long as you join, you will instantly have a large number of casual cultivator friends, all over the world! You can also share our intelligence information, our resources, trade routes, etc."
Zhang Hao smiled: "Although what you said is very general, I can still feel the strong influence of West Kunlun. However, I believe there is no free lunch in this world. So, what does Dayang Group need to pay?"
"There is no free lunch? This is a good metaphor. As for what Dayang Group has paid, we hope to get guidance from Dayang Group and build a group like Dayang Group."
Zhang Hao looked at the other party with a smile, "Senior, you are joking. Now Dayang Group's technology has spread, and many of our ideas, etc., are also made public.
As long as it has these, West Kunlun can easily copy the model of Dayang Group.
It seems a bit fussy to go to the trouble of seniors to take action for these public things, doesn’t it?”
"I am more optimistic about the future of Dayang Group. Moreover, as far as I know, in the last technology leak incident, the most critical technology of Dayang Group was not leaked. For example, the technical information of the steam turbine was leaked, but the guidance on why the steam turbine should be done that way
The theory... seems to have not been leaked!
Also, Dayang Group’s most important steel technology has not been leaked.
And the primer at the bottom of the shell seems to be unusual!"
As he said that, Dong Guo Mingyun narrowed his eyes, with a half-smiling feeling: "Master Zhang, you are not the only smart person in this world! If the Xuanzhen Sect doesn't tell you now, it doesn't mean that they won't pursue it in the future! The current Xuanzhen Sect can't do it.
I'm afraid that I'll force you to the Xiaoyao Sect, so I'm pretending to be stupid!
And West Kunlun can provide you, Dayang Group, and the Zhang family with a second choice!"
Zhang Hao was silent. After drinking two cups of tea in silence, Zhang Hao finally raised his head and said, "Well, after we reopen the sea route in a month, I will personally lead the fleet to visit West Kunlun.
Before that, I will send someone to find out."
"Master Zhang is really cautious."
Zhang Hao shook his head slightly, "I am not alone now. There are tens of thousands of people behind me, and I need to be responsible for these people who choose to believe in me!
I will come again when I leave."
Dong Guo Mingyun nodded, and suddenly pointed to the several 'Nascent Soul Stage Maid's' around him, "Master Zhang, don't you need to choose a few?"
Zhang Hao suddenly frowned, "Is this what West Kunlun does?"
Dongguo Mingyun smiled, but there was some emotion in his smile and words: "They are voluntary! Although we provide a relatively fair environment for casual cultivators, the world of cultivation... is not peaceful after all.
Sometimes the father died in the war, and there is a mother or younger siblings at home...how many choices are there.
At least, they can exchange some cultivation resources for their relatives."
