Chapter 757: Tribute
Dozens of kilometers away, the "Hengxing" fighter plane approached the business jet Zhang Jun was on at the fastest speed. In the fighter cabin, the pilot was a young Japanese man with a cold and murderous temperament in his eyes. He said to the communication: "Report Stinger, approaching the target, expected to lock in one minute." "Very good! Bat, if you can kill the other party, the billion dollars will be yours!" A low voice came from the communication. Not long after, the pilot suddenly found that several light spots on the screen flashed by. He thought he was dizzy and didn't care. The spider aircraft is very small and has stealth ability. The radar of the Hengxing fighter can only capture it occasionally, which causes a flashing phenomenon during the radar scanning process. When the pilot Bat didn't care, ten spiders were approaching quickly, flanking from four directions. This time, the radar accurately captured the trajectory of the spider, but it was too late. Three spiders with four times the speed of sound instantly stuck to the Hengxing fighter, causing the fighter to swing violently and almost lose control. The pilot was shocked and shouted to the communication, "Enemy attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the first three Spiders that were attached started the self-destruction program. With a loud bang and flames, the powerful fifth-generation fighter plane was reduced to ashes, and the pilot was blown into pieces.
The remaining seven Spiders hovered for a moment, and after confirming that the target was eliminated, they chased the plane again. Two minutes later, they were recovered by Xiaoqiang and could be used again after refueling.
Seeing the screen showing that the enemy plane was destroyed, Yun Kun breathed a sigh of relief and asked anxiously: "Who is the other party? Why did they attack us?"
Zhang Jun said: "It should be against me." Then he said to Xiaoqiang, "Find out the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Already investigating." Xiaoqiang responded, and then sent the airport surveillance footage over, with a recording attached.
In the airport control room, a young operator quietly dialed a mobile phone: "Stinger, Stinger, target lift off, target lift off!"
Then, Xiaoqiang continued to pursue the source of another answering mobile phone and soon locked onto a hotel. All the surveillance videos of this hotel within 24 hours were retrieved, and combined with the mobile phone signal data, Xiaoqiang quickly locked a person.
This is a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, with a cold temperament. He checked into the hotel five hours ago. Xiaoqiang immediately searched for this person and soon gained a lot of information.
"Alpha, a Japanese-American hybrid, a world-renowned killer, ranked 19th on the blacklist representing the strength of killers." Xiaoqiang said.
Zhang Jun suddenly remembered that the Holy Church had been offering a reward to hunt him down. However, those killers must know his methods, and no one dared to attack him head-on. Unexpectedly, one of them would target him this time and wanted to kill him on the plane.
The opponent's plan was perfect. No matter how powerful he was, he could not use his methods in the sky. It would be easy for a Western fifth-generation fighter to destroy a private plane. But the opponent missed one thing, that is, Zhang Jun had Xiaoqiang, which led to a seemingly ordinary business jet actually having extraordinary combat power.
"Monitor this person 24 hours a day, and wait for me to free up my hands to meet him." Zhang Jun said lightly.
Yun Jingshen saw Zhang Jun talking to Xiaoqiang all the time, and couldn't help but ask him curiously: "Brother, who are you talking to? The other party seems to be very powerful."
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "His name is Xiaoqiang, he is a supercomputer expert, and the intelligent control on this plane was designed by him."
Yun Jingshen immediately admired and said: "It seems that there are experts around you, brother. I must meet Xiaoqiang someday and make friends with you."
Zhang Jun did not comment. Xiaoqiang's affairs should not be known to too many people.
At a hotel in Kyoto, Alpha left the scene immediately after the fighter plane lost contact. After leaving the hotel, he called a taxi and went to the airport. He didn't know that no matter where he went, there was a pair of invisible eyes, monitoring him through multiple channels such as air, sky, and land, so that his every move could not escape monitoring.
At noon that day, everyone arrived at Changbai Mountain, got off the plane and took a car into the mountain area, and then climbed on foot. Finally, when they entered the inner gate of the Yun family in Changbai Mountain, it was dark.
This is an ancient cave hidden behind a waterfall. The interior area is very large. The first thing that comes into view is a huge circular cave hall. There are tables, chairs and screens in this cave hall. The decoration is simple and elegant. It should be used to receive guests on weekdays.
The cave has obviously been modernized. There are computer monitoring and fingerprint recognition equipment at the entrance. The cave hall of the inner door is full of people at this moment. They are all inner disciples and elders of the Yun family. They all appear at this moment. It can be seen that the Yun family attaches great importance to Zhang Jun's arrival and welcomes him with the whole family.
Two very old monks stood in the front. Although they are both people with the ninth level of true power, they are not in good spirits. Yun Kun hurried forward to greet them, and said respectfully: "Master, Second Master, this is Zhang Jun from Shennong Sect, he came here specially to help my Yun family refine the elixir."
The life span of the two old monks is over 150 years old. They are a little deaf, and they nodded after listening twice. The master looked at Zhang Jun and asked: "Is Shennong Sect finally born? How is Mr. Yang Ling?"
Zhang Jun was speechless. It seemed that the two of them rarely went out and were not very clear about the news outside, so he stepped forward and bowed, and replied: "Two old seniors, Mr. Yang Ling is my grand master, he has passed away."
The elder sighed with emotion and said: "Mr. Yang Ling passed away unexpectedly. His qualifications are really very good. It's a pity that he didn't get the true inheritance of Shennongmen, otherwise he would be able to gain supernatural powers."
The second master said: "I think this little kid has very good qualifications. After all, the Shennong Sect has an ancient heritage and will not just decline like that." Then he asked, "Little kid, are you here to make elixirs for my Yun family?"
Zhang Jun nodded, and behind him, Fabin held out Shennong's Baicao Whip with both hands. He held the Baicao Whip in his hand and said, "With the help of Shennong's Baicao Whip, I can refine the high-grade elixir."
The two old men were moved by this and nodded: "Okay, then I'll do it for you. The remuneration is easy to discuss."
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Yun Jingshen is my sworn brother, so the reward will be waived."
Yun Kun was secretly happy. The Yun family had saved a lot of money. He quickly said: "First Master, Second Master, don't be tired. Go and rest in the back."
After seeing off the two ancestors, Yun Kun introduced the rest of the Yun family to Zhang Jun. The Yun family's strength is pretty good, with twenty-six true-level monks, but there are no people with even half-step magical powers, so it can only be considered a low-level family.
After meeting everyone, several core members of the Yun family accompanied him throughout the cave. The ancestors of the Yun family once had great figures who had returned to the truth, and they occupied a blessed place here. A large number of elixirs are planted in more than two acres of spiritual fields.
Zhang Jun found that most of these elixirs were ripe but had not been picked. He shook his head and said: "If the elixirs are not picked in time when they are mature, their properties will slowly be lost and they will be wasted."
Yun Kun smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, every few years, we will collect mature elixirs and send them to places like the Medical Immortal Sect that are capable of making elixirs. We will pay a lot of money to hire people to help make elixirs, or we will simply sell them to them. ”
"Is there anyone buying the elixir?" Zhang Jun's eyes flashed, feeling that this would be a great business opportunity.
"Yes, in the world of cultivation, those who can refine elixirs often purchase elixirs from outside." Yun Jingshen said, "There are many for sale at the Golden Platform. However, most people who sell elixirs will directly sell the elixirs. The medicine is sold to a few fixed places.”
"Where are they?" Zhang Jun asked.
"The Medical Immortal Sect, the Alchemy Sect, the Lingquan Villa, and the Wulaoshan are the ones buying elixirs most of the time."
Zhang Jun nodded and decided to try to acquire elixirs in the future. He has refined elixirs before and knows that if he buys elixirs for 100 million yuan, if he refines these elixirs into elixirs and the price can be doubled, it will be easy to sell them for 200 million yuan. Naturally, he would not let go of such a hugely profitable business.
Next, after some overall analysis, he formulated the most economical alchemy plan and prepared to refine these elixirs into six types of elixirs, which could roughly produce more than thirty elixirs.
During a week at the Yun family, he refined elixirs with Shennong's Baicao Whip, and produced a total of nineteen low-grade elixirs, eight medium-grade elixirs, and four high-grade elixirs. Among them, there are several elixirs that he refined based on the physiques of several core disciples of the Yun family, and their effects are twice as effective as taking ordinary elixirs.
Every time he makes an elixir, he will use Buddha's eyes to see through the changes inside the grass whip and observe the essence of the elixir. The divine ban in the Baicao Whip is very magical. It can extract the medicinal properties of the elixir on its own and then condense it into a pill. This can be said to be the most magical alchemy method in the world.
While refining elixirs, he imitated the methods of the Forbidden God, hoping that one day he would be able to refining elixirs on his own without relying on Baicao Whip.
On the seventh day, as soon as he finished refining a high-grade elixir, he heard a noise outside. He frowned slightly and motioned to Fabin to go out and take a look. Fabin went out for a trip and returned soon, saying, "Master, there is a group of foreign monks who are quarreling with the Yun family."
"Outside monks?" He was very surprised. How could a secret place like the inner gate of the Yun family be easily allowed in by outside monks? If he hadn't been able to make elixirs for the Yun family, even Yun Jingshen's sworn brother wouldn't have been able to come in.
He immediately got up and came to the hall.
Everyone in the Yun family in the hall was filled with indignation and had angry faces on their faces. Opposite them were three arrogant monks, all of whom were young men. One of them raised his eyelids slightly and said: "You, the Yun family, must pay all the offerings for this year, otherwise we will have trouble explaining it later. If we can't explain it, we will have to ask you for an explanation."
Yun Jingshen said angrily: "In the past few years, I handed over five low-grade elixirs. Why did it become six mid-grade elixirs this year? Do you think my Yun family is easy to bully?"
The young man glanced at Yun Jingshen contemptuously and said: "Why? You ask me, who should I ask? We are acting under orders. If your Yun family refuses to cooperate, we have no choice but to report it to the higher ups. If the higher ups send someone down to hold people accountable, , but it cannot be solved by six middle-grade elixirs, and the Yun family may be destroyed!"
Yun Kun let out a long sigh and gave in helplessly. He said to Yun Jingshen: "Jingshen, stop talking and go get the elixir."
Yun Jingshen clenched his fists and turned back to get the elixir with a livid face. Instead of taking the newly refined ones by Zhang Jun, he took out some old elixirs that the Yun family had accumulated before and handed them over to people outside.
After taking the elixir, the three people laughed and said: "It saves us trouble by doing it so early. Okay, let's go back a few times."
The three of them left in a swagger, while Yun Jingshen hit the mountain wall hard and cursed in a low voice: "A bunch of damn things!"
Zhang Jun remained silent, then he asked: "Jingshen, what's going on?"
Yun Jingshen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, every low- and middle-class family must pay tribute to the upper-class families, and our Yun family is no exception."
"Which small world is the other party from?" Zhang Jun asked him with a flash of his eyes.
"Kunlun Lower Court is an institution in Kunlun Mountain that specializes in managing low-class cultivation families." Yun Jingshen smiled bitterly, "Every three years, low-class families like us have to pay tribute, which puts a lot of pressure on resources. Not because of this, I don’t know how much stronger the Yun family is now, but it’s been squeezed too much.”
Zhang Jun was curious, why no one asked for tribute from Longhu Mountain? When he thought this, Yun Jingshen reminded: "Brother, I'm afraid you Longhu Mountain and Shennongmen won't be able to live in peace for a few years. In two or three years at most, there will be top-ranking families asking for tribute. If they meet, you Don't argue with them when the time comes, otherwise you'll end up in trouble."
