The helicopter's blades rotated with a rumble. Tang Ping looked at the ground from the air.
The familiar city came into view. "Back!" he said softly.
Below is Tancheng City. He can already see the familiar landmarks of Tancheng City, as well as the familiar hills and rivers. However, while they are familiar, they are also a little strange.
Although, my trip to Khmer lasted only about twenty days.
But for him, almost ten years have passed by in the blink of an eye. In the past, he didn't feel much in Tancheng City.
But when he came back after leaving this time, Xu Ji really felt the coldness and ruthlessness of time. Because he found that he seemed to have forgotten many things.
Unless he was already a monk, he might not even be able to remember his parents' faces. So, Xu Ji took out his cell phone and contacted his parents.
After agreeing to visit the elders today, I put down my phone.
Then he said to the pilot: "Just put me down at a nearby landing point!" The helicopter sent it directly to my home, which was a bit too showy.
The pilot had already received the order and immediately replied: "Okay!" Then he chose a nearby football field and put Xu Ji down.
Xu Ji got off the helicopter, picked up the backpack he was carrying, thanked the pilot, and then strode forward.
At the same time, the mobile phone navigation was opened, and it was located in Tancheng City again. Xu Ji took an online taxi. Taking advantage of the fact that it would be a while before the taxi arrived, Xu Ji sorted out the things he was carrying in his backpack. First of all,
The key points brought back this time.
A whole bottle of elixir.
This is what Xu Ji asked the old god for.
It was refined using a piece of soul gold and many magical herbs produced by demons and ghosts. Its main effect is to prolong life and maintain beauty.
In the mythical world, similar elixirs, although not bad, are still very popular low-level elixirs. In China, similar elixirs are probably considered luxury goods.
Its status is roughly equivalent to Blue Star’s brand-name bags.
Ordinary people can still afford it but it is unnecessary. However, in Blue Star, such elixirs can only be said to be priceless treasures!
According to the experience of the mythical world, a high-quality life-extending pill can at least increase the life span of a mortal from a hundred years to a hundred and fifty years.
Of course, this is a theoretical limit.
In practical applications, most mortals who subscribe to the Life Extension Pill will inevitably enter the aging period when they are one hundred and twenty years old, just like an eighty-year-old man.
Today, the effect of the bottle of elixir in Xu Ji's hand is roughly the same.
Of course, because the person who refines it is a Taoist figure in the mythical world.
In terms of efficacy and purity, it is definitely far superior to ordinary elixirs in the mythical world.
"One pill for dad, one pill for mom..." Tang Ping looked at the pills in the porcelain bottle: "How to distribute the remaining dozen pills..." Xu Ji thought of the old god.
Communicate with him and agree on the result.
Then he poured one pill from the medicine bottle.
The extremely rounded pills looked like gold in the sunlight. The rich medicinal fragrance hit your nostrils.
"Presumably, the residue left by the old gods in the Khmer canyon while refining the elixir should have been discovered by them!" "Those residues must have been tested and even analyzed!"
"so......."
Xu Ji looked at the phone in his hand and silently dialed a number. Guiling's number!
After a while, the call was answered
"Officer Xiaogui!" Xu Ji greeted with a smile: "Are you free?"
Gui Ling on the phone answered almost immediately: "Comrade Xu Ji, what are your requests?"
"It's like this..." Xu Ji smiled: "This time when I went abroad, I made some elixirs for my parents, but I made a few more pills. I thought you might need them, so I wanted to give you one.
!」
The little policewoman on the other side of the phone was almost stunned.
She was so short of breath that she couldn't even speak.
Started shivering.
Naturally, Gui Ling knew the particularity and importance of the elixir refined by Xu Ji.
At this moment, Gui Ling remembered the small mountain mausoleum she had seen where Xu Ji retreated to refine elixirs. She also remembered the images captured by satellites and drones of the immortals fighting against the ghost tree.
Xu Ji is an immortal! A real immortal.
There is no doubt about this now. It is even an internationally recognized fact!
Now, the only thing that remains uncertain is whether this immortal is a reborn immortal or an immortal from a world dominated by immortal gods.
That's why Tancheng City suddenly went from an unknown inland provincial capital of China to a global investment hotspot in just two or three months.
Various high-tech companies have settled in, spending huge sums of real money.
Industrial parks one after another were quickly transformed from intentions to drawings, and then started construction. This is not just the case for physical enterprises.
Financial companies are even more stunned.
Countless large companies and consortiums suddenly announced their intention to make Tancheng City their new global headquarters.
As a result, many people in Tancheng City suddenly found that they seemed to have won without doing anything. Tancheng housing prices were soaring and skyrocketing!
Nowadays, even in the suburbs, every inch of land is at a premium.
And the housing prices in core urban areas are already on a high trend.
This is the result of the relevant departments frantically suppressing housing prices and launching a series of so-called "unprecedented" purchase restriction and sales restriction policies.
There is no way. Capital is pouring in like crazy and projects are being implemented continuously.
The market economy, the invisible hand, began to show its power. Stimulated by hot money, housing prices in Tancheng rose three times a day. The price increase rate was comparable to that of blockchain currencies in the past.
Under such circumstances, the nickname of Tan City on the Internet has changed from the original "Little Imperial City", "Little Magic City", "Xiaopeng City", to "Small New Village" and "Large Manhattan".
Bizarrely, it seems that no economists or financial bloggers have any doubts about Tancheng City’s changes and capital choices in just a few months.
On the contrary, countless economists have begun research on Tancheng City's economy. Various papers are being written non-stop.
They all began to explain the changes and capital agglomeration in Tancheng City from their own professional perspectives. Moreover, their explanations seemed reasonable at first glance.
Especially after the publication of a certain Nobel Prize winner's paper, the entire Blue Star now feels that what happened in Tan City is reasonable.
After all, Nobel Prize winners have said that Tancheng City has many unique advantages that other regions do not have. It is these advantages that make global capital keen on it.
On the Internet, if anyone dares to question something, they will immediately be blocked from speaking.
"Do you understand economics, or do Nobel laureates understand it?"
"Do you understand capital operation and industrial management, or do the bosses of the Fortune 500 understand it?" "Nobel laureates have said it, capital has already poured in, and you still question it?"
"Can a dignified Nobel laureate still make mistakes?"
"Even if he is wrong, capital will never be wrong, right?"
"Young man, you can doubt the mind of a certain capital group, but never doubt the choice of most capital!" In short, today's Tancheng economy is like the Tancheng climate at the end of August.
It's in full swing and boiling.
Guiling's own wealth inexplicably increased tenfold in just two months. There are many casual winners like Guiling in Tancheng City.
And Guiling knows that all wealth and capital are only for one person. Immortal!
Because the immortals hold in their hands what they dream of.
Now, the immortal opened his mouth and wanted to give her a priceless elixir? This...
Guiling felt that her heart could no longer bear it. She wanted to decline politely.
Because she couldn't bear it.
But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them out. Finally, she turned into an ant's murmur: "Yeah!" Gui Ling
I know, her superiors definitely want her to agree!
Xu Ji listened and nodded: "Then come to Xinlu Mansion tonight!" "I will give you the things then!"
This is intentional.
A life-extending pill was deliberately made public through Gui Ling's hands. It was not the country of China that was attracted.
It is a big country other than China.
Especially the current overlord of Blue Star: Flag State!
Xu Ji knew that once the big shots in the flag country knew that he had mastered the life-extending technology, they would be able to do anything.
And this is what Xu Ji and the old immortal want!
They have greater things to do, and their time is extremely valuable.
Therefore, in Blue Star, whether it is Xu Ji or the old immortal, they all need a powerful force with enough action to help them deal with and complete some trivial things.
In addition, for the starry sky and deep sky.
Xu Ji and the old immortal both need the support of Blue Star's aerospace technology power. Although China is strong in this aspect.
But it is not as profound as the flag country!
After all, it was a country that had landed on the moon, explored Mars and Saturn, and even ambitiously explored the outer reaches of the solar system decades ago!
And Xu Ji and the old immortal need this.
In particular, the people of the flag country have top-secret data and intelligence on Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, especially the satellite that is currently flying towards the asteroid belt.
Guiling put down the phone.
Her chest was rising and falling, her face was flushed, she took a deep breath, immediately picked up an emergency phone and dialed: "Report to the leader!"
"Comrade Xu Ji just contacted me and said that he would give me an elixir as a gift!" "Yes..."
"I have agreed! I will receive you at the Xinlu Mansion tonight!" "I promise to complete the task!"
Gui Ling put down the emergency phone. The instructions from her superiors were already clear in her mind. Her superiors needed her to complete the task.
The country also needs her to complete the task!
However, what Guiling didn't know was that not long after she put down the phone, a high-level meeting was convened. Participants, after listening to the intelligence reports and reports.
A big shot already smiled.
He looked at the others, and then asked: "The intelligence from the Khmer side shows that the flag people have completely sealed off the canyon and conducted inspections?"
The head of the intelligence agency stood up and saluted and replied: "According to insider reports, it is indeed true!" Today's relationship between the flag state and the Chinese state is very mysterious.
On the one hand, the two countries are still wary of each other.
But on the other hand, the two countries are quickly moving closer and have overcome numerous obstacles and resistance in the past with strong determination and perseverance.
Especially the flag country has almost forgotten all the unpleasantness of the past few years and the issues that it has jumped up on its own initiative. The two countries have quickly moved closer at the diplomatic level.
In the Senate of the flag country, some people even proposed that the "China-Flag Treaty of Friendship and Commerce" could be restored, and all obstacles in customs, population mobility, technological exchanges and commercial exchanges between the two countries could be completely eliminated, so that each other could develop and exchange on a reciprocal basis.
Such calls are still very high.
Therefore, there are many people in the flag country who take the initiative to move closer to China.
Some things appeared on the desk of the intelligence department in the imperial capital before the Luoying Prefecture received any news.
However, these are all appearances.
Buried under the surface, under the disguise, is the will of the big chaebols and big capital of the flag country. Mainly, it is the will of the big shots who control these big chaebols and big capital.
Capitalists who long for youth, health, and immortality will do whatever it takes to get what they want!
So, once these people are disappointed.
Then the relations between the two countries will regress at an unimaginable speed.
The big leader naturally understood this. He knocked on the table and then asked the diplomatic people: "What is the special envoy in Tancheng City doing recently?"
"Report
Reportedly, Senator Thomas has been performing shows on various occasions, but the main show location has been chosen at the place where the immortal once moved..."
"From elementary school to high school, he left his footprints!"
"It is said that he plans to visit that university!"
The big leader nodded, then looked at the person in charge representing Tancheng City, and asked: "Do you have any call records between that Immortal and Comrade Guiling?"
"some!"
A document and audio report were immediately sent to the top leader.
After the big leader finished reading and listened to the report, he immediately laughed: "This 'immortal' is indeed from our country!" "He is well versed in our country's traditional culture and rules!"
"He is borrowing our hand to come to Qianjin City for horse bones!" "What do you mean?"
"He did it on purpose!" the big leader said: "He deliberately used us to tell the outside world that he has the ability to refine the elixir of longevity!" "Of course, whether it is specific or not, we still need to explore and test it!"
"Let's do this!" the big leader said: "Let the relevant departments leak the matter quietly and let the people of the banner know that the immortal intends to give a life-extending elixir to Guiling tonight!"
"Then, we will know whether the Immortal is what we think!" -.
Thomas's special car had just left the consulate.
He received a phone call, and his expression immediately became exciting: "Dear King, are you sure?" The person on the phone patted his chest and assured: "Dear Elder, of course this is true!" "Very good!"
Thomas's eyes flashed with joy: "Mr. Wang, the flag country will never forget you!" "I will express my merits to you, the Commander-in-Chief!"
Putting down the phone, Thomas immediately said to his driver: "Go back and notify the consul. I want to speak to the country immediately!" A life-extending elixir!
The immortal actually gave away a life-extending elixir! Thomas's heart was beating wildly! He knew that this information was extremely valuable! He wanted to report this matter to the country immediately.
But before that, Thomas knew who he should call first? His sponsor and backer-Mr. Thackeray!
