After noisy for a long time, everyone finally dispersed helplessly, and the Zhang family's mansion continued to be decorated.
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Shengde immediately sent someone to invite the large black iron smelting families, trading houses, etc.
Regarding the Black Iron Alliance, since we cannot unite with small and medium-sized families, we can only unite with large families.
Originally, according to Zhang Hao's plan, he wanted to wait for the black iron technology to spread further, so that these large families would have to ask for help from the Zhang family.
But too many things have happened recently, and the status of the Zhang family has steadily improved, especially the Zhang family's implicit relationship with the princess, plus the acquisition of the Infant Transformation Pill and their improvement in cultivation, but Zhang Shengde is not ready to wait any longer.
Now the Zhang family is qualified to take the initiative to do this.
After finishing the arrangements, Zhang Shengde turned around and patted Dugu Junjie on the shoulder, "Work hard. When you reach the peak of the golden elixir stage, the family will definitely prepare an infant transformation elixir for you!"
Dugu Junjie was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Then, Zhang Shengde patted Zhang Hao's shoulder again and affirmed again: "You did a good job."
Yes, very good. The 10 Infant Transformation Pills are of great significance to the Zhang family; Zhang Shengde is confident that he will officially break through to the Nascent Soul stage in about a month. At that time, the Zhang family will truly be qualified to become a large family.
While he was talking, a guard reported that Feng Dongyuan from the City Lord's Mansion was visiting.
Feng Dongyuan came in a hurry. With a straight face, he said a few simple polite words and said he was sending the princess' reward, then left a small box and left.
Zhang Shengde hurried to the door to see him off, but he had disappeared.
The head of the Zhang family has a black line on his head. "Xiaohao, have you offended him?"
Zhang Hao sighed helplessly: "I don't know either!"
"Oh... Then find an opportunity to invite me. This person doesn't look like a villain, and he is worth making friends with."
After that, Zhang Shengde looked at the box. It was two feet in size, the wax seal was intact, and there was the seal of the city lord on it.
Opening the box, there were twenty porcelain bottles of various sizes inside.
"Xiao Ling Yuan Dan, which strengthens the foundation during the Qi refining period, 4 bottles of 400 pills."
"Lingyuan Pill, which is used to consolidate the foundation during the foundation building period, 4 bottles, 400 pills."
"Purple Yuan Dan for the Golden Dan Stage, two large bottles of 1,000 pills."
"The golden elixir phase nourishes the soul and gives birth to the soul, the purple elixir, two bottles of 200 pills."
"Jingyuan Dan, the foundation-strengthening Jingyuan Dan in the Golden Dan stage, 100 pills in a bottle."
"Dragon Tiger Pill for Nascent Soul Stage, 100 pills in a bottle."
"There are also heart-protecting pills that strengthen the meridians and assist breakthroughs, various detoxifying pills, etc. There are six bottles with a total of 600 pills."
Zhang Shengde was extremely surprised. The Zhang family's high-end elixirs for the next period of time were replenished in one go. At least, they were enough for him, Zhang Hao, Zhang Shengye, and Zhang Han to practice elixirs.
This is definitely a real opportunity. If these elixirs are bought individually, it is unclear whether they can be purchased.
Especially for the Purple Spirit Pill, the Golden Pill stage nourishes the soul and activates the soul, which is the key to whether it can break through to the Nascent Soul stage!
Zhang Shengde thought for a moment and took the lead in giving 10 Ziyuan Pills, two Purple Spirit Pills, and two Jingyuan Pills to Dugu Junjie next to him. "Thanks to Mr., the family has been grateful for these years."
Dugu Junjie hesitated for a while before taking it. "If it hadn't been for the help of the head of the family, I would have been a piece of withered bones, and I wouldn't have even had a burial place.
But, these pills are indeed what I need, so I accepted them shamelessly."
Zhang Shengde smiled: "Without Mr. Zhang, there would be no Zhang family today."
Zhang Hao was watching from the side... Sure enough, there was adultery!
Turning his head, Zhang Shengde said to Zhang Hao: "I accidentally saved Dugu Junjie back then, and the Zhang family had the water forging technique."
Zhang Hao immediately had questions: "Dad, didn't you say that the family's black iron smelting technology has recently improved, and this has caused the Qian family to jump over the wall?"
"It's hidden. Before, the family's strength was not enough, and we were worried about those who were chasing Dugu, so we could only observe and wait in secret.
This wait is twenty years."
Zhang Hao seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "In other words, after waiting for twenty years and seeing that there was no problem, dad was ready to use all the water forging techniques. But he didn't expect that the elbows and armpits would become injured, and the Qian family would jump over the wall."
Zhang Shengde snorted. Speaking of which, this matter is really... quite indifferent.
After a while, representatives from major families, business firms, etc. arrived one after another.
Many of the invited families and businesses had recently acquired the water forging technique and emerged.
When everyone met, everyone was smiling but they were all competitors. But no one was making any noise. They didn't know what happened when the Zhang family suddenly called everyone over.
Everyone still felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
Zhang Hao stood at the door. On the one hand, he was greeting and showing respect. On the other hand, he also took the opportunity to get to know and observe everyone - in the future, he would have to deal with these people.
"I'm Zhou Bo." Zhou Bo handed over the post with a straight face, and Zhang Hao also registered with a straight face.
Behind him was a man with a smile on his face: "My dear nephew, can you tell me what you are planning to do? Oh, look at me, uncle Li Yousheng. This is my daughter, Li Yuanyuan, bring me here to show you."
Li Yousheng was so enthusiastic that he actually handed the post to Zhang Hao with both hands.
Zhang Hao quickly bowed slightly, took it with both hands, and showed a bright smile: "Hello, Uncle Li. It's a good thing to call everyone here. There is a big deal that I want to discuss with you."
"Oh, that's it." Li Yousheng became more enthusiastic. He turned to his daughter and said, "Yuanyuan, dad will go in first. You can help Master Zhang here."
Zhang Hao:......
Li Yuanyuan stayed at the door with a blushing face, unable to walk or stand, let alone sit.
For a moment, he twisted the corner of his clothes and stood at the door, at a loss; his beautiful eyes looked at Zhang Hao for a while, and then looked at the ground.
Zhang Hao quickly said: "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Zhang Hao. I am 18 years old."
"Li Yuanyuan, 19 years old."
"It turns out to be Sister Shi. Sister Shi, please help me sort out the information here."
"Well..." Li Yuanyuan responded in a low voice, lowered her head, and reorganized the information on the table next to her.
Actually... there isn't much information, just a few greetings at the moment.
People came one after another, some were enthusiastic, some were indifferent, some were excited, some were worried...
The number of people who 'helped' organize the information has also increased from Li Yuanyuan to the young master Gongsun Xuan of Longyun Trading Company, the young master Liang Chuhe of the Liang family, and the eldest lady Bai Liya of Baima Trading Company.
Finally, Li Yuanyuan spoke, "Brother Shi, all the people on the list are here."
Zhang Hao turned around to thank him and directed the guards to close the door; then he led Li Yuanyuan and four others to the main room.
But I saw that the atmosphere in the lobby was a bit strange.
Zhang Shengde sat in the center, closing his eyes and concentrating; a dozen representatives around him were talking to the left and right, making various guesses.
Especially since the Zhang family had just acquired the Xuantie parts of several small families, the current atmosphere was a bit depressing and heavy.
Zhang Shengde seemed to deliberately create this atmosphere and did not speak.
It wasn't until Zhang Hao came in that Zhang Shengde spoke. "Everyone, I have taken the liberty to invite you here, but there is an important matter that I want to discuss with you."
After a short pause, Zhang Shengde went straight to the point: "The price in the black iron market has been in chaos recently, which has seriously affected our common interests.
Therefore, I have an idea, we should unite and control the black iron market to ensure our common interests!
We will work together to maintain the stability of the Xuantie Market in Ninghe County.
And set an example for the whole country!”
Everyone's eyes brightened instantly and their breathing became quickened.
