Chapter 170 Alchemy Competition
Tang Chenying hesitated for a while, and finally took the pill. "The foundation of this little apprentice is not stable, and he needs this kind of elixir to build a foundation, so he has the audacity to accept it."
After taking the pill, Tang Chenying eagerly and curiously opened it. But I saw a purple-black elixir quietly lying in the bottle, faintly revealing a little luxurious luster.
Different from the white, light yellow, and translucent colors of ordinary pills, this pill is purple-black, with a faint luster of black pearls. The pure and surging medicinal power makes Tang Chenying secretly startled.
"Good medicine!" Tang Chenying couldn't help admiring. For me, the value of this elixir has surpassed that of the Ice Muscle Jade Bone Pill.
Zhou Shuhai nodded slowly, "Twelve triple-revolution foundation building pills are worth 120,000 high-grade spirit stones. If you pay with elixir, you can pay for medicinal materials worth 100,000."
"I don't bring so many spirit stones with me, and I don't bring any medicinal materials. I don't know, is one ice muscle jade bone pill enough?"
Zhou Shuhai watched Tang Chenying take out another ice muscle jade bone pill, and nodded simply: "It's enough, but it's a bit expensive."
Tang Chenying smiled: "Fellow Daoist's Four-Turn Foundation Establishment Pill is also extremely precious.
Now that it's over, I'll take my leave. "
Tang Chenying came and went simply. Only Li Yuanyuan asked Zhou Jue to convey a message before leaving: someone is paying attention to the Zhang family, and that person has a little turtle, Jiuyou turtle, in his hand.
Watching the master and apprentice drift away, Zhou Jue couldn't help but admire: "Senior Tang is truly a man of peerless elegance. Unfortunately, I always feel a little indifferent."
"Perhaps it's due to the practice of cultivation techniques. It's likely that his cultivation has surpassed the late Nascent Soul, so it should not be underestimated."
Zhou Jue nodded slowly. "By the way, Dad, I'll go and tell Zhang Hao that his house may be being targeted by the Lingwei Trading Company in the East."
"Well, let's go."
Zhou Jue muttered as he walked. We were all old acquaintances, so as soon as Li Yuanyuan spoke, Zhou Jue knew who it was. Those who like to play with a turtle in their hands are still in the Nascent Soul stage and pay special attention to the Zhang family. Except for Wang Ruiyang, there will be no one else.
Once, Xinglintang was pissed off by Wang Ruiyang and his Lingwei firm; he wanted to say 'no', but he didn't have the courage. But since having the Zhang family, Xinglintang doesn't say 'no' anymore, I don't say a word!
No, this time Lingwei Commercial Bank has been here for such a long time, and none of the middle and high-level executives of Xinglin Hall have seen it, only a few low-level deacons in the foundation establishment period.
Zhou Jue was stunned as soon as he stepped into the library. It's only been a while, but Zhang Hao turned all over the floor! The once tidy library has become a dump.
"Zhang Hao! What are you doing!" Zhou Jue was furious. This was all sorted out by his father little by little. Although it was sold to you Zhang family, you can't ruin it like this.
Zhang Hao was taken aback by Zhou Jue, looked at Zhou Jue's darkened face, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm so excited, look what I found!"
Zhang Hao said, and put a few scrolls in front of Zhou Jue: "Look, this is a mine of fine gold! This is a mine of mithril! And these mines are all in the country of Qixia!"
Zhou Jue had black lines on his face: "I know all these mine veins. They are not big, and they are all controlled by families."
"Yeah, it's just not big, so the Zhang family can buy it! I don't believe that dozens of tons of black iron for alchemy are thrown down, and they still don't let go!"
Zhou Jue's eyes sharpened immediately: "Zhang Hao, tell me, what is the output of your Zhang family's black iron for alchemy?"
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment: aha, I accidentally got too excited, what I said just now...was a bit easy. Zhang Hao blinked, "This...Actually, the output is still acceptable, and it should be enough to support Xinglin Hall's needs."
Zhou Jue didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Hao blankly.
"Hey, look what I do!"
"Zhang Hao, do you believe that I said bad things about you in front of my sister? I don't even need to make up the mess you made here, and it's enough to tell the truth! If I add a little more modifiers, such as littering, nothing Don't cherish it, hehe..."
Zhang Hao's face turned dark instantly. "Okay, okay, the production of this black iron for alchemy... Well, it belongs to the Zhang family's secret. How about it, no matter how much black iron Xing Lintang buys from the Zhang family, I will give you 10 top-grade pieces The starting price of Lingshi.
But you can't tell the outside world. "
"I want to ask about the output."
"Okay, an answer and a promise of permanent cooperation, which one do you want!" Zhang Hao snapped back domineeringly. Having a younger sister is amazing. Believe it or not, I can skip over your brother and hook her!
The two looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with lightning.
After a while, Zhou Jue also said domineeringly: "The starting price is reduced to five spirit stones!"
"Making trouble for no reason!" Zhang Hao turned around and left, "Do you want it or not? It's only the reserve price of 10 high-grade spirit stones. Well, I'm still busy, so don't bother me! Don't worry, I'm very careful, don't be confused, but Put them all in order."
Zhou Jue looked at Zhang Hao's back for a while, and nodded slowly. It seems that the price of ten high-grade spirit stones should not be too much, and the Zhang family still needs to make a little money. Looking at the scrolls on the ground, they were indeed arranged in an orderly manner. Although they were a little messy, they were not random after all.
Then Zhou Jue slowly opened his mouth: "Let me tell you a piece of news, Wang Ruiyang of Lingwei Trading Company is after you. Lingwei Trading Company is a trading firm in the Land of Canglan, and it is the largest sales firm of black iron for alchemy. The Zhang family The rise of the second time blocked people's way of making money.
I'm afraid Wang Ruiyang won't let it go. "
After speaking, he described Wang Ruiyang again, and finally warned Zhang Hao: "The tortoise in his hand is not simple, be careful, and stay away."
After all, he slammed the door and left.
Zhang Hao looked at the creaking and swaying door, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. How much is the cost of the Zhang family's black iron for alchemy? It is only twice as expensive as ordinary black iron. And how much is the cost of ordinary dark iron? Less than one-fifth of the market value!
The reason why the Zhang family dared to donate 5,000 tons of black iron to the country was because...the cost was really low!
After closing the door, Zhang Hao lowered his head and continued to search. In fact, he not only found fine gold, mithril, etc., but also found lead-zinc ore.
Zhang Hao vaguely remembered that the number of neutrons in lead far exceeds the number of protons, but the strange thing is that there seems to be no "lead" spiritual material in this world.
As for Wang Ruiyang, Lingwei Trading Company and the like, Zhang Hao hasn't taken it to heart yet. Zhang Hao felt that, as a disciple of Xuanzhen Sect, with Feng Zhiling by his side, he was not afraid of ordinary things.
…………
In the morning, the sky was still a little dark, but Xinglin Hall became lively. Today is the day of the official alchemy competition in Xinglin Hall.
Zhang Hao only squinted for a while, then got up early. Although I really want to sleep in, but obviously today is not the time to sleep in.
As soon as the sun came out, it was already full of voices. Many places even began to yell and place bets, and they could faintly hear who would definitely enter the top ten or top five, who was the favorite to win the championship. Some people also said that Zhou Xueyao was injured and might not be able to attend today, so it was another variable.
Zhang Hao didn't place a bet. What he cared more about was the game itself.
Through the competition itself, one can see the situation of alchemy in the western world, which is conducive to Zhang Hao's prediction and inference of the general environment.
Since this is known as the largest event in the western world, it is equivalent to the epitome of the entire western practice world. And the business houses coming from the east can be roughly compared to the invasion of the east.
Through such judgment and analysis, Zhang Hao can have a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the world.
At this time, the advantage of the Zhang family renting an advertising space on the high platform was revealed, and this place directly became the best stand. Zhang Hao could sit on a chair and look at the crowds around leisurely.
The sun gradually rose, and around seven o'clock, Zhou Shuhai, Zhou Jue, a large number of masters from Xinglin Hall, and masters from Qixia Kingdom (VIPs) appeared one after another. In the north of the square, there is already a row of high platforms condensed by magic, on which there are mahogany grand master chairs and so on.
Zhou Shuhai sat at the highest place, and the rest of the people were arranged in order, according to male left and female right. From a rough look, there are thirty female alchemists, and there are almost two hundred male alchemists.
After sitting down, Zhou Shuhai said slowly: "All alchemists must arrive within a moment! Otherwise, it will be regarded as a waiver."
The sound was like ocean waves, sweeping across the square of the alchemy competition.
Some of the seed players in the alchemy competition finally came 'belatedly'.
