Chapter 36
The waves are rolling, and the sea breeze is hunting.
On the hill and on the edge of the cliff, Zhang Hao and the princess looked at each other.
The wind wrinkled the princess's clothes, outlining a slim figure.
The veil undulates slightly, and at close range, one can faintly see the face behind. In the blurred outline, one can see a straight Qiong nose and extraordinarily slender eyebrows.
This is not the kind of delicate and sweet, Xiaojiabiyu face, but a face that is radiant and heroic.
This is not a gentle little girl!
This is a princess who grew up in a crisis.
At the same time, the princess was also observing Zhang Hao.
Originally, the princess's impression of Zhang Hao was that of passerby A, or passerby A with some skills—a little better than passerby B.
There are many people who want to pursue themselves, and Zhang Hao is not yet ranked.
Eighteen years old and a seven-level cultivation in the Qi refining stage may be good for ordinary people, but it is not enough for a nobleman from aristocratic families.
Generally speaking, a son of an aristocratic family can obtain unimaginable resources from an early age, the worst is the worst, and at the age of eighteen, he should have the early or even middle stage of foundation establishment.
Therefore, the princess's first impression of Zhang Hao should be said to be very bad.
But at this time, looking at the high-spirited young man in front of her, the princess gradually changed her view.
Opening up to the sea may sound absurd, but seeing the resolute face and affirming eyes of the young man in front of her, the princess recognized it a little bit.
At least Zhang Hao's last words aroused the princess' approval:
Opening up to the sea may not be successful, but the Eastern Expedition must not be successful.
Zhang Hao's sentence "There is no room for success" caused a great shock to the princess. A simple sentence perfectly interprets the defeat history of Qixia Kingdom in these years.
In fact, the princess herself knows very well that the Eastern Expedition is not for victory, but for survival!
But no one is not eager to win.
Facing Zhang Hao's almost provocative eyes, the princess was not angry.
Suddenly, the princess turned her head and looked at the sea in the distance. A faint sigh came from her mouth.
Next to it, several female guards looked surprised. This was the first time that the princess was at a disadvantage in competing with others.
After a while, the princess suddenly asked, "Zhang Hao, even if we can go to the sea, where can we go? Could it be that we really can't find the legendary Nine Immortals Mountain?"
Zhang Hao didn't answer, but instead asked, "Princess, have you read "Kuo Di Xiang"?"
"I've seen it. There are transcripts in the City Lord's Mansion. Recently, "Kuo Di Xiang" and "Overseas Nine Immortal Mountains" have become very popular."
"The princess thinks, if we go south from here, will we be able to reach the southern island of Taotu from the Green Sea of Death?"
The princess gradually regained her composure: "If "Kuo Di Xiang" is correct, then the distance from us to Tao Tu Zhi Continent will be more than ten thousand miles away.
The sea monsters near the sea are already so powerful, but in the deep sea, they are even more terrifying.
How much confidence do you have to drift thousands of miles away on the green sea of death full of monsters and beasts? "
Zhang Hao stared at the side of the princess, and said word by word: "Your Highness, we have no choice!"
The princess was silent again, and after a while, she said calmly: "Okay, I will report your thoughts to the emperor. I can only pass the word on this matter, and I have no right to decide."
Before she knew it, the princess no longer called herself "Bengong".
Zhang Hao immediately showed joy on his face: "Thank you princess for willing to listen to such absurd remarks."
"You also know the absurdity?" The princess finally showed a little smile on her face, which seemed a little mischievous.
Zhang Hao laughed: "Ordinary people listen to it and laugh it off. A wise man will gain something if he listens to it."
"You boasted."
"Princess, I have a merciless request."
"Since it's an unfeeling request, don't say it."
"..."
Seeing Zhang Haomeng's dumbfounded expression, the princess smiled softly: "Okay, I'll give you a chance, let's go."
"Two requests. First, I want to search for some shipbuilding craftsmen and related personnel. Second, I want to buy some high-grade elixir from the princess, such as the kind that will help the Jindan stage break through the Nascent Soul stage."
"You are really a merciless request. I have the elixir, one ton of 96% pure black iron, one piece; at most ten can be exchanged for you.
As for the artisans, I will ask you when I return to the palace.
Shipbuilding craftsmen are hard to find. "
"Wait, Your Royal Highness, we can now produce up to 95% pure black iron."
"Do you think I believe it?"
"..."
"Take it as my unfeeling favor.
I just waited three days in the City Lord's Mansion. Within three days, exchange 10 tons of 96% black iron for 10 'Infant Transformation Pills'. Don't wait! "
After all, the princess turned around and left in a chic and calm manner.
Looking at the mighty team going away, Zhang Hao grinned, and he will be busy again tonight.
It seems that the princess really came to see the sea, and did not stay in Changshan Town. When Zhang Shengye got the news and wanted to come out to greet her, the princess had already left Changshan Town.
"Little mouse, you say you, the princess is here, why don't you invite the princess to come and have a sit down!" Zhang Shengye looked like he hated iron but steel.
The princess has come to see the sea with you, so why don't you show something?
Zhang Hao smiled helplessly: "Second uncle, I dare not invite you. I'm afraid that after the princess comes in, our family's secrets will be lost."
Zhang Shengye: ...
Then, Zhang Hao talked about the deal with the princess.
For the time being, Zhang Shengye couldn't deny the matter of sailing, but he was very surprised about the 'Infant Transformation Pill'.
"Can it really be exchanged for the Infant Transformation Pill?"
"Second uncle, ten tons of 96% black iron, just exchange for ten pills, what is your expression?"
Zhang Shengye shook his head: "Little mouse, you have to think so.
Generally speaking, one Infant Transformation Pill is enough for a person with excellent aptitude and a peak Golden Pill to enter the Nascent Soul Stage.
Two Infant Transformation Pills can make those with ordinary aptitude, or those who are old, reach the peak of the Golden Core Stage, and enter the Nascent Soul Stage.
Four to five Transforming Infant Pills can allow those in the later stage of Golden Core to enter the Nascent Soul Stage in a very short period of time.
Therefore, ten Huaying Pills can usually be regarded as 5 potential Nascent Soul stage masters. "
"Wealth can be calculated, but the value of a Nascent Soul master cannot be calculated.
At least, Nascent Soul masters can rob wealth.
Therefore, Huaying Pill has always had a price but no market.
Countless cultivators at the peak of the Jindan period, especially those who are old, are willing to go bankrupt for the Huaying Pill, and even do anything!
Moreover, the refining of Huaying Pill is difficult, the success rate is extremely low, and the elixir is hard to find; Nascent Soul Master also involves the balance of major forces.
Therefore, there are very few Huaying Pills that can really make it to the market, and most of them are sold at auction. "
Only then did Zhang Hao suddenly realize that although the one he bought seemed to be very expensive, the Huaying Pill can be sold even more expensive!
Some commodities are destined not to have a "regular" price. Its "actual value" has little to do with "cost", but is directly linked to the application environment, application field, and actual effect.
"In this way, we still took advantage of it?"
"Yes."
"Then why did the princess help us?"
"Perhaps, the princess also wants to see your voyage plan." After a short pause, Zhang Shengye asked cautiously: "Little mouse, is your voyage...reliable?"
"Second Uncle, let me show you something."
"No, let's get the high-purity black iron out first. Let's talk about it first when we get the Infant Transformation Pill that doesn't belong to us!"
