Chapter 347 Not Even a Spirit Stone
But when Zhang Hao saw Fu Yun rushing over in a hurry without touching the ground, he got up immediately, with a smile on his face and a loud voice: "Congratulations, senior!"
Well, Zhang Hao is congratulating on the 'exit' - in fact, meditation and retreat are different. Meditation can be regarded as a kind of conditioning, while retreat is practice.
When Master Zhang said 'exit', he was actually pricking his heart!
Fu Yun descended with majestic momentum, and a gust of wind blew up all around, quite like flying sand and rocks. "Zhang Hao, I was pissed off by you! What are you congratulating!"
"Ah... Senior can actually hear me?"
"Hehe..." Fu Yun sneered, "I'm meditating, not retreating. Boy, you want to trick my disciple away, don't you?"
Zhang Hao has a serious face: "Senior, if you say that, I have an opinion. Senior, a cultivator around the age of 20 is the golden stage of cultivation.
At this time, we have enough insights, have our own thinking and direction, but our bodies are at their peak.
Perhaps the predecessors would say that practitioners have a long lifespan and do not fight for the day and night.
But what I have to say is that time is ticking!
Just like the sapling that has just germinated, it is full of vitality and the breath of life can almost overflow in the seedling stage. But those trees that grew up, although equally vibrant, lacked vigor! As far as practitioners are concerned, they lose their vigor!
Even though we live a long life, the peak state of our natural growth is around the age of twenty. If we miss this time, we will need to make up for it with multiple efforts in the future.
But if we seize this opportunity, we can build a solid foundation. In the future, when others make up for their mistakes, we will be brave and diligent!
The gap will be widened quickly!
Seniors, I don't know what a genius is. If there is a genius, it must have seized the opportunity, kept advancing and surpassing itself.
The dead cannot be chased, and the coming is uncertain. Only now is what we can control! "
Fu Yun opened his mouth, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes. Why doesn't he know these things? He understands better than Zhang Hao. but……
Looking at Fu Yun, Zhang Hao's eyes dimmed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Senior, Brother missed a day today, and in the future, he may miss the stage of transformation because of this day!
We cannot grasp the future. All we can do is grasp the present moment.
I didn't lie to Brother Shi, and of course I didn't give it away for nothing. The mithril I gave Shixiong is what Shixiong deserves; it's just that he needs to repay it in the future.
Senior, do you think it is appropriate to get the resources now and repay them later; or miss the opportunity now, accumulate wealth, and practice later? "
Zhang Hao is pressing every step of the way, and Fu Yun's eyes are even darker. But at the next moment, he suddenly broke out, "Don't worry about my affairs!"
Zhang Hao shook his head, and went a little further: "I don't want to care about it either. Really, Senior and I are not close or related, just met a few times. It's really not worth giving such a precious mithril to Senior.
But today I saw a genius, a genius stuck in a corner. I seem to see me in the past, I don't want Shixiong to miss the golden stage of practice.
Of course, I am not without requests. If we can form a good relationship, it should be fine to ask Brother Shi to help me when Dayang Group is in trouble in the future. "
When you talk to real people, you have to tell the truth.
To be honest, it made Fu Yun even more difficult to fight.
Ge Dong bit his lip, looking at Zhang Hao for a while, and Fu Yun for a while. As a cultivator, Ge Dong certainly understands what Zhang Hao said, and he also wants to improve, but as a disciple, he needs to take Fu Yun's attitude into consideration.
But Fu Yun still has to serve the Land of Canglan for another four or five years. It can be predicted that during these four or five years, Fu Yun's life will still not be too affluent.
In fact, there are several masters in the Canglan Kingdom Transformation God Stage, why is Fu Yun usually running errands?
Don't you need to pay for running errands in the transformation stage? Are you busy here? People practice there. One hundred years, how much delay will this take!
As far as Zhang Hao knows, Fu Yun is a casual cultivator. There is no doubt about the aptitude of a casual cultivator who can practice to the stage of transformation into a god. But in the past hundred years, it has been completely delayed. According to what Ge Dong said, his cultivation has actually gone backwards!
Zhang Hao continued, "Senior, a person's peak state is between the ages of 18 and 24.
This stage is the most precious. The older generation said that we are: newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. And I think this is the stage when we are most energetic and enterprising.
After this age, we start to look forward and backward when doing things, and that is also the moment when we lose our spirit. Until then, what can we do to make up for the lost youth?
Seniors, time waits for no one.
It's because I believe in the character of my predecessors, and I am also optimistic about the talent of my elder brother. So I want to give it a go.
That's just three catties of Mithril. Resources are used up and can be reproduced. Once the talent is lost, it will never come back.
As long as Shixiong comes to my Dayang Group, I promise to supply all the cultivation resources in advance! Absolutely will not delay the practice time of the elder brother! "
Fu Yun clasped his hands, and the veins in his hands jumped up. He really wants to pinch Zhang Hao to death now, do you know how annoying your mouth is! But well, you have a point.
After thinking for a while, Fu Yun finally sighed, made a decision, and said almost gnashing his teeth: "Mr. Zhang, President Zhang, Minister Zhang, Young Master Zhang, I entrust my disciple to you. This kindness, I remember."
Do you remember? Then why are you grinding your teeth?
"Master..." Ge Dong's face was flushed, excited and embarrassed.
Fu Yun sighed, and patted Ge Dong's shoulder, "Zhang Hao is right. However, it's getting late today, you and Zhang Hao can go together tomorrow, to the country of Qixia, and to Dayang Group. If possible, follow Take a boat to see the Green Sea of Death, and to the Land of Earth.
Also, practice hard! "
"Master, I will definitely work hard!" Ge Dong said almost swearing.
Fu Yun sighed again: "Zhang Hao, Ge Dong will leave it to you."
Zhang Hao nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, senior, I, Zhang Hao, spit on everything, and I will do what I say."
"Okay. Ge Dong, go to the nearby restaurant and ask for a table of banquets."
"Wait senior, I still have something to say." Zhang Hao said immediately, "Senior, I think... if only Shixiong comes to our place, he won't be at ease. Worried about the situation here, senior."
Fu Yun was suddenly angry, and at this moment he really wanted to slap Zhang Hao to death. If you don't tell me what the hell, my stupid apprentice can't think of it at all. Now that you point it out, he will be worried!
Sure enough, Ge Dong stopped immediately and looked at Fu Yun in a daze.
Fu Yun endured and endured, looked dangerously at Zhang Hao, gritted his teeth, and finally snorted coldly: "Rest tonight, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
Zhang Hao, find a place to live by yourself. Dinner is gone! "
Zhang Hao bared his teeth and smiled brightly. "It's okay, it's okay, senior, you can practice by yourself, let's go out to eat."
Fu Yun's footsteps froze suddenly, he turned around suddenly, and waved his hand. A gust of wind swept Zhang Haofei away. He flew all the way, and hit a restaurant more than 500 meters away with a plop, smashed through the roof, and lay on the floor with a plop.
Zhang Hao got up as if nothing had happened, patted his clothes, and shouted: "Thank you, senior, for showing me the way."
Then Young Master Zhang clapped his hands to the surroundings: "Excuse me, everyone. All the food and drink here today will be counted on me. Shopkeeper, put a new banquet for everyone. Also, go to the door to have a look, I still have some attendants to ask for Come here, in the direction of Senior Fu Yun's mansion.
Also, send a banquet to senior Fu Yun, and ask for the best! "
"Okay!" The shopkeeper turned a blind eye to the mess around him, and immediately ordered someone to clean it up, and replaced it with new banquets for everyone upstairs.
When the shopkeeper left, Zhang Hao laughed, "Everyone, sorry to bother you. I'm Zhang Hao. It was Senior Fu Yun who made a joke with me just now. I made everyone laugh."
A handsome young man next to him heard this, and suddenly smiled: "You really have the ability to make senior Fu Yun angry. By the way, Zhang Hao... I have heard of this name faintly."
"Dayang Group, the one that builds steel warships."
"It's you!" Many people around stood up immediately, the young master even stood up just now, "I've been looking forward to it for a long time, I'm Xia Lanyecheng, my father's right minister, Lan Sixuan."
"It turned out to be Young Master Lan. Nice to meet you! The previous few times I came here, I was in a hurry, but I didn't have time to visit Prime Minister Right. Today I'm treating guests. Everyone can order whatever they want!"
Lan Yecheng laughed: "Haha, you're welcome. Everyone, let's eat today. We have met a rich man. Dayang Group signed an agreement with us for a steel warship more than 20 days ago. The price is as high as 60 million high-grade spirit stones.
Everyone eat hard, eat back! "
"Sixty million...high-grade spirit stones..." There was an instant silence all around. Most of the people here are aristocratic sons, and of course they all understand what 60 million high-grade spirit stones mean. Even in the heyday of the Canglan Kingdom, this is the sum of the country's wealth in two years!
After a while, Ding Kui, Yan Qing, Dugu Junjie and others came, but Zhang Hao talked and laughed happily, and began to discuss navigation, open seas, the circle of the earth, and even general industry and commerce with everyone.
What's more, Zhang Hao also invited everyone to visit Dayang Group, and expressed that Dayang Group is willing to cooperate with the Land of Canglan and everyone.
The banquet lasted until midnight, and many people, especially some businessmen, came after hearing the news. Zhang Hao never refuses anyone who comes, and he adds a pair of chopsticks, a seat and a wine glass to anyone who comes.
For a banquet, Zhang Hao spent more than 8,000 top-grade spirit stones, and spirit wine, spirit fruit, and monster dishes were served one after another. The shopkeeper even brought in the inventory and cooks from the surrounding restaurants.
More than 8,000 high-grade spirit stones are 80 million low-grade spirit stones. However, Zhang Hao also gained a lot. In an accident, he even got to know most of the noble sons of the imperial capital of the Canglan Kingdom! This is the biggest gain.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hao ran to Fu Yun's mansion again, saw Ge Dong's tired and flushed eyes, and also saw Fu Yun's tired and helpless look.
But after seeing Zhang Hao, there was still a little anger in Fu Yun's eyes that didn't dissipate.
This time, without waiting for Fu Yun to speak, Zhang Hao took the initiative to speak: "Senior, I have an immature suggestion. Look at this, I will hire you at the price of 1 million high-grade spirit stones a year.
And the predecessor promised to protect the Canglan Country for a hundred years, so there are less than five years left? We calculated it on a five-year basis. I will compensate Canglan Kingdom with five million high-grade spirit stones at once! "
When Fu Yun heard this, most of the anger and helplessness in Fu Yun's eyes disappeared instantly, "Compensation?"
"Yes! Senior, I know that I have made it difficult for you. On the one hand, it is a promise, and on the other hand, it is the future of the disciple, which makes it difficult for you to do. But in fact, I don't think this matter is difficult.
First of all, senior, do you think the price of one million high-grade spirit stones a year is acceptable? "
Fu Yun took a deep breath: "It's already very high. In fact, the Land of Canglan doesn't treat me badly. There are not many resources in the rest of the God Transformation Stage. Roughly calculated, the other Spirit Transformation Stages will be consumed in one year. Five or six hundred thousand resources."
"Since the seniors have approved it, it will be easy to handle. I will negotiate with the Land of Canglan on this matter. I promise not to embarrass the seniors."
Fu Yun sighed: "Then thank you."
"I'm the one who disturbed senior. Senior, brother, I'll take my leave first. Senior, if you arrive at the negotiation site later, you don't need to speak, just leave everything to me."
"it is good."
"I'll send Brother Shi off." Ge Dong sent Zhang Hao away excitedly.
After leaving Fu Yun's place, Zhang Hao directly visited the most familiar left minister, Huang Shaoxian, who was just about to go to court early. After hearing what Zhang Hao meant, Huang Shaoxian immediately took Zhang Hao into the palace.
After a while, Fu Yun was also invited, and a negotiation began. Zhang Hao brought Yan Qing with him, and the Canglan Kingdom did have all the officials on stage-this is the early morning time!
As soon as the negotiation started, Zhang Hao was the first to speak, with awe-inspiring righteousness: "Everyone, last night I heard a story that made my heart ache. A master who has silently devoted nearly a hundred years to the country, is actually... hungry!
The first time Senior Fu Yun brought me to the Land of Canglan, I met a woman at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage on the way. That woman actually suppressed Senior Fu Yun and beat him.
At that time, I thought: what a weak stage of transformation into a god.
However, I found out last night that Senior Fu Yun has not had enough resources to cultivate in the past hundred years. His cultivation base has unexpectedly regressed! And this retrogression has endangered the foundation of senior Fu Yun.
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if this is the case in other stages of transformation into gods, but I can't bear to see Senior Fu Yun here. "
Left Prime Minister Huang Shao first glanced at Fu Yun, who was silent beside him, and then at the insignificant but gloomy Emperor, then turned to look at Zhang Hao, with a slightly angry tone: "Zhang Hao, we Don’t worry about the situation in China! You don’t know much about the situation, so it’s a bit taken for granted.
When the late emperor rescued Fu Yun, Fu Yun swore..."
"Stop, stop!" Zhang Hao waved his hand, "I don't care about the situation back then. As for swearing... Zuo Xiang, these two words cannot be used indiscriminately!
In fact, I think that the Land of Canglan owes Senior Fu Yun now!
Not to mention anything else, just from a logical point of view, Senior Fu Yun is conscientious and loyal. During the period of time I was in contact with Senior Fu Yun, he was always thinking about the Land of Canglan, without any selfishness. Transport so many resources, but don't take a piece of spirit stone that shouldn't be taken!
Even if his disciple's cultivation resources were not enough, he endured it silently and never told anyone, not even his own disciple.
Zuo Xiang, a master who silently contributed to the Canglan Kingdom, has actually regressed in cultivation!
I want to ask, Zuo Xiang, do you think it should be? "
Zhang Hao believed that Fu Yun must not have made an oath, otherwise Fu Yun would have told him about it. In fact, no practitioner would swear indiscriminately. Zhang Hao felt that it should have been a promise at that time, nothing more.
But even if it's a promise, it can't be changed casually, it will affect Dao Xin - if it's a villain, it doesn't matter, but I'm afraid Fu Yun can't be hasty.
Facing Zhang Hao's questioning, everyone in Canglan Kingdom stopped talking, Huang Shaoxian looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. He really didn't understand this. However, Zhang Hao really couldn't answer this question.
At this time, Lan Sixuan, the right minister, said: "This is indeed our negligence. For this, please let me apologize to Master Fu Yun."
Saying that, Prime Minister Right actually stood up and apologized. Fu Yun nodded silently, but still did not speak. In fact, there was no grievance in his heart.
Zhang Hao smiled: "Now that we have spoken, I will say it straight. On behalf of the Dayang Group, I will hire Senior Fu Yun at the price of 1 million high-grade spirit stones per year. 1 million high-grade spirit stones is the basic salary. If there is Tasks, etc., rewards are calculated separately.
Senior Fu Yun promised to protect the Land of Canglan for a hundred years, but now it is the 96th year, leaving about four and a half years left. I'll just count 5 years.
In the past five years, I bought it with 5 million top-grade spirit stones. how? "
Wow... Before Zhang Hao finished speaking, there was already an uproar all around, and even the expression of the Great Emperor of the Canglan Kingdom changed.
This is a high-grade spirit stone. Zhang Hao only opened his mouth to five million yuan, which is almost the total national financial revenue of the Canglan Kingdom for more than two months at its peak.
In fact, in recent years, as the resources of the western countries have become more and more scarce, and with the rise of the power of the domestic aristocracy, the fiscal revenue of the Canglan Kingdom has also begun to decrease year by year.
Especially last year when war broke out and Qianlong Harbor was lost. Although Qianlong Harbor has been regained, the sea has been blocked again. The country is getting more and more troubled.
As of now, it is already the beginning of March, and the fiscal revenue of the Land of Canglan is less than two million!
Next to him, there was a God Transformation Stage who heard the news and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. As for the large number of Nascent Soul masters in the main hall, they couldn't help opening their mouths. And everyone who was negotiating was dumbfounded by Zhang Hao's condition!
After a long while, left minister Huang Shaoxian said tremblingly, "Are you... serious?"
"Zuo Xiang, when did you see me make such a joke?"
"Then..." Huang Shao glanced at the emperor before slowly saying, "The price...is very fair. Well, as long as Master Fu Yun has no objections, we will agree.
What does real Fu Yun think? "
Fu Yun still didn't speak, just nodded.
Zhang Hao said: "President Zuo is straightforward, so the matter is settled. From now on, senior Fu Yun will no longer be bound by your country.
Senior Fu Yun's cultivation base has declined to a dangerous level and cannot continue to decline. You must retreat and practice immediately. "
The left minister looked at Zhang Hao: "We are the ones who are sorry to Master Fu Yun. This matter is settled like this. Then, when will the spirit stone be delivered?"
"Ah... bring it?" Zhang Hao looked surprised.
Huang Shaoxian was immediately angry: "Didn't you just say five million high-grade spirit stones?"
"Yes!" Zhang Hao nodded with a serious face.
Huang Shaoxian gritted his teeth a bit: "What about the money?"
Zhang Hao said with an 'innocent' look: "It's fine to just withdraw it from the account. Didn't you borrow 60 million from Lvzhou Bank? Just transfer 5 million to you."
Monarch and Minister of the Kingdom of Canglan: ...
You can't even see a piece of spirit stone!
Huang Shaoxian opened his mouth slightly and looked at Zhang Hao. He reasoned like this, but he still felt that something was wrong? But why looking at Zhang Hao's 'naive' expression, I really want to go up and beat him up!
And the expression of the great emperor of Canglan Kingdom who sat high above finally changed. Just now, just a few seconds ago, he was still fantasizing: it is a very good deal, selling Fu Yunfu five million high-grade spirit stones to subsidize the current Canglan Country, it is really a good deal.
He is still planning to expand his army and attack the Kingdom of Langya from land—letting you block the sea.
But...but...the dream was shattered in a few seconds.
At this moment, a murderous intent appeared in the emperor's heart inexplicably. The emperor had a feeling of being played with.
But soon he had to suppress this murderous intention - Dayang Group was required to help build the steel battleship, and Dayang Group promised to complete the construction in half a year.
With this account stuck here, the Land of Canglan can't help it. 60 million... well, 55 million high-grade Lingshi loan, the pressure is huge.
Despite dissatisfaction, everyone quickly signed a negotiation agreement.
Zhang Hao took away Fu Yun, who was at the stage of becoming a god, but did not leave a single spirit stone, not even a white note.
Even Fu Yun was a little confused - why can't I understand?
