Zhang Hao's dreams were all about oil, and he couldn't calm down at all.
What does oil mean?
There are too many to explain clearly in just a few words.
Because of the discovery and utilization of oil, industrialized society emerged and gave birth to modern civilization!
And now, the Zhang family has discovered oil under their feet!
Now that there is black iron, power machinery, and oil appear again, one can imagine the excitement in Zhang Hao's heart.
It's just that Zhang Hao was too excited, and his mind was filled with oil, machinery, giant ships and cannons, but his mood was disturbed.
In practice, he pays great attention to 'tranquility', but Zhang Hao has been thinking wildly for two days in a row. Coupled with the huge surprise of discovering oil, Zhang Hao's state of mind has gradually become unbalanced.
Originally, he had an epiphany and suddenly reached the peak of the Qi refining period, and his foundation was already a little unstable; now his state of mind gradually became unbalanced, and the true energy in his body began to move around.
"Something is wrong!" Zhang Hao was shocked. He finally reacted at the last moment and hurriedly sat cross-legged, taking a Xiaolingyuan Pill and preparing to suppress his cultivation.
But after a moment, Zhang Hao's expression changed.
My cultivation level is already unstable, and taking Xiaolingyuan Pill to compress my true energy at this time really adds fuel to the fire.
At this time, the true energy is restless, so you should not practice, but should completely relax and cultivate your mind and nature.
The medicinal effect of Xiaoling Yuan Dan makes the real energy stimulated even more unstable.
Zhang Hao had a bitter look on his face, he was just a hair away from going crazy! The agitation of his true energy made his meridians swell, and his body was sore, numb, and itchy. The feeling was really unpleasant.
Not daring to practice any more, I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down and prepared to recite the Pure Heart Mantra.
At this time, someone came to send a message: "Master, I invite you to the living room. There are guests from the imperial capital."
Zhang Hao finally suppressed his impetuous energy and asked: "What kind of guest?"
"It's not clear. But it seems that some people were sent by the princess, some were sent by the prime minister, and some were sent by the general. Some people seemed to be from the Kingdom of Jinyang. The city lord Liu Jingming is also here."
Zhang Hao was stunned: What happened? So many people came?
Suppressing the restless true energy, Zhang Hao walked very carefully, like an old woman recovering from a serious illness, fearing that taking a big step would stimulate the true energy.
I came to the lobby cautiously and saw many guards outside the lobby, including guards in black armor and guards in gold armor.
Zhang Hao is familiar with the attire of the black-armored guards; because he has seen it in the princess's team, I think it should be a common dress of the Qixia Kingdom. But the golden-armored guards have never been seen before; could it be from the Kingdom of Jinyang?
There was lighthearted banter in the lobby and it sounded friendly.
Zhang Hao walked into the lobby. Before he could speak, Zhang Shengde stood up and said with a big smile: "Come, let me introduce to you, this is the dog Zhang Hao."
Zhang Hao turned around and saw that there were five people in the room.
Except for the city lord Liu Jingming, whom I knew, and the princess's bodyguard Hu Yinglan, I didn't know the other three. Of these three, two looked to be in their twenties, and one looked to be forty.
Liu Jingming spoke: "Zhang Hao, let me introduce you. This is Wei Zirong, the prince's young master from the Kingdom of Jinyang."
Zhang Hao looked and saw that Wei Zirong was in his forties. He had an elegant aura and a gentle smile on his face. He looked very amiable. And as for the Prince's Young Master, this was the Prince's teacher and the future Emperor's Master; such a person
, cannot be evaluated simply by official grade.
Zhang Hao stepped forward to greet him, and Wei Zirong smiled and nodded, praising: "Sure enough, it's better to meet him than to be famous. I heard about Mr. Zhang's name as early as in the imperial capital of your country. He is really a talented person."
"Really? Mr. Wei can see that I am extraordinary at a glance?"
Wei Zirong:...You are indeed a talent!
Zhang Shengde's face turned dark, and the others wanted to laugh but suppressed their laughter.
Liu Jingming's face was also a little distorted. He endured it again and again before continuing to introduce: "This is Ouyang Chu, the prime minister's son."
"Master Ouyang." Zhang Hao cupped his hand.
Ouyang Chu's face was still a little red from suppressing laughter, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he said, "Master Zhang, I have admired you for a long time."
Zhang Hao chuckled and said, "Master Ouyang has really heard of my name?"
Ouyang Chu said seriously: "I have heard of it. Even His Majesty has heard of your name. Mr. Zhang, everyone says that you want to use black iron to pursue the princess."
At the end of the sentence, a joking smile appeared on Ouyang Chu's face.
Wait, pursuing the princess? Zhang Hao looked cute. I am only wary of the princess. She wants to throw me into the sea to feed the fish. I stay away from such a powerful princess.
Liu Jingming smiled faintly and continued to introduce: "This is Shu Bennan, a personal guard of General Wu and one of General Wu's disciples."
Is this senior brother?
Zhang Hao's expression became serious, and he suppressed the internal energy that surged in his meridians, and wanted to pay his respects seriously.
Without thinking, Shu Bennan jumped away and said, "Master Zhang, you are trying to hurt me. I am just a guard, and it is the city lord who is giving me face."
Zhang Hao said seriously: "There is no priority in learning, only those who have mastered come first.
Senior Brother Shu!”
Shu Bennan was still hiding, but when he saw this, he reluctantly handed over his hand: "Junior Brother Zhang."
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.
But after such a torment, the true energy in Zhang Hao's body began to boil, and it seemed that he couldn't hold it down any longer.
Next to him, City Lord Liu Jingming continued to smile, Zhang Hao performed very well.
But Wei Zirong, who came from the Kingdom of Jinyang, narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing Zhang Hao's words, "There is no priority in learning, and those who master first": This kid, was he just pretending to be stupid?
When Zhang Hao got up, Liu Jingming continued to introduce: "You should be very familiar with this person, the guard next to the princess, Hu Yinglan."
Zhang Hao immediately sent a sweet smile: "Hello, sister."
Hu Yinglan's face was tense and she didn't make any expression; but there was still a hint of joy in her eyes.
Ouyang Chu silently gave Zhang Hao a thumbs up - you are thick-skinned, you are indeed a talent! I am ashamed of myself!
But before Zhang Hao could speak again, Hu Yinglan suddenly spoke in a very unfamiliar tone: "Zhang Hao, I have three purposes for coming today.
First, congratulations to the Zhang family for reaching the Nascent Soul Stage. I also send you a small gift, two Wumu Pills."
Wushou Dan? Zhang Shengde's eyes gleamed when he heard this name.
There is dirt in the human body, which is a common problem among mortals. Only the legendary immortals have dirt-free bodies.
Untainted, pure and flawless, it is a perfect state of practice. The Untainted Pill allows people to experience this feeling for a short time. This is very important for the practice of cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage.
One dirt-free pill is cheaper than ten pills of infant transformation!
Moreover, Wuzuo Dan is truly valuable but not marketable, and is generally not sold to outsiders.
Zhang Hao thought for a moment, but still took the jade box with both hands and expressed his gratitude to the princess. However, this action made Zhang Hao look ugly - the true energy in his body was going to be chaotic.
This is a sign of an impending obsession.
Now you should sit down cross-legged immediately, cultivate your mind and nature, and recite the Pure Heart Mantra. But obviously, this is not realistic.
Hu Yinglan continued: "Secondly, I bring you the princess's original words - 'Develop with peace of mind, I believe the Zhang family will definitely make great achievements; I have already told my teacher Ouyang Qingque that I will take some care of the Zhang family.'
Ouyang Qingque is the sister of Prime Minister Xiangsi and the aunt of Ouyang Chu."
Zhang Hao nodded slightly and looked sideways at Ouyang Chu, and what he saw was a bright smile.
"Third, after this Eastern Expedition, the prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang will marry the princess and make her the crown princess. In the future, the princess will be the queen of the Kingdom of Jinyang.
Zhang Hao, I know the princess appreciates you, but from now on, please forget about the princess. Be good to the princess, and be good to you."
What?
Zhang Hao was shocked! The princess is currently the only one who supports the great voyage!
In his excitement, Zhang Hao could no longer suppress the restless true energy in his body.
True Yuan is about to be in chaos.
At this moment, a sea of ocean essence that was about to dissipate surged up in his Dantian, breaking through the restless true energy, enveloping most of the restless true energy, as well as a large ball of dirty blood, and spurted out from Zhang Hao's mouth. (Ocean Essence
Qi, see Chapter 11)
A mouthful of dirty blood spurted out, and Zhang Hao's restless true energy instantly calmed down. Although most of the ocean energy had dissipated, it still saved Zhang Hao from going crazy.
But the way others looked at Zhang Hao, something... was wrong.
Especially Hu Yinglan, most of Zhang Hao's dirty blood sprayed onto Hu Yinglan's chest.
But Hu Yinglan was not angry. The look in her eyes when she looked at Zhang Hao was...pity.
