Chapter 988 I'm Serious About Doing Business (Part 1)
The development of things twists and turns.
It was originally Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng who came to investigate Zhou Shu's true identity.
Who would have thought that this investigation would first turn into asking questions by spending soldiers' materials.
Now it has become Hou Baidong wants to buy the method of casting soldiers in Zhou Shu's hands.
Even Ge Changlong and Jin Kui were a little confused.
How did things develop like this?
The two of them saw it with their own eyes, but they couldn't figure out how the scene in front of them happened.
Ge Zhenfeng next to him was even more dumbfounded.
Hou Baidong, betrayed?
Didn't they agree that they would expose the fake's true colors together?
He is definitely not the disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion!
Is it tolerable or unbearable for such a counterfeit to bluff and cheat on their Ge family's territory?
This Elder invited you, the Deputy Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion, to come here to help me expose his true colors, not to cheer him on!
Ge Zhenfeng felt angry in his heart, but he dared to lose his temper at others, but he didn't dare to show off to Hou Baidong.
After all, his status is far inferior to that of Hou Baidong.
The third deputy head of the Tiangong Pavilion, even the head of the Ge family, has to be treated respectfully, let alone the sixth elder.
"Do you really want to improve the casting method of the magic spell?"
Zhou Shu looked at Hou Baidong with a half-smile, and said, "Didn't you come to question my identity?"
"One thing is one thing."
Hou Baidong said in a deep voice, "The curse is the secret of my Tiangong Pavilion. I don't care where you learned it from, it must return to my Tiangong Pavilion."
"Sell it to me, and I can guarantee to save your life, otherwise, even if I try my best to make the plague of spirit insects break out, I will definitely bring you back to Tiangong Pavilion."
"When the time comes, it's up to you whether you say it or not!"
Hou Baidong's words were threatening.
Zhou Shu didn't take it seriously. If he was afraid of threats, he wouldn't have such an attitude towards Hou Baidong and the others as soon as he came up.
Hou Baidong alone cannot represent Tiangong Pavilion.
It was as if Ge Zhenfeng couldn't represent the Ge family.
So Zhou Shu is not afraid of offending them at all!
Jin Kui, like Hou Baidong, was born in Tiangong Pavilion. Jin Kui didn't intend to do anything to Zhou Shu. Obviously, Tiangong Pavilion is also divided into factions.
The same is true for the Ge family. Ge Changlong and Ge Zhenfeng are not on the same line.
Even if Zhou Shu offended Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng, it didn't mean he would turn against Tiangong Pavilion and the Ge family.
In the final analysis, Zhou Shu's status as a direct disciple of the master of the Tiangong Pavilion is an opportunity, but also a crisis, a crisis of being guilty of the crime.
It is impossible for an existence like the Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion to be without enemies.
Even if he really has no enemies, his position also involves too many interests.
As his direct disciple, some people want to be loyal, and some people want to make things difficult. This is nothing more than normal.
Regarding Hou Baidong's threats, Zhou Shu only regarded him as farting!
"We can talk about the price of the improved version of the Locking Curse later. Since one size is equal to one size, let's deal with this matter first. Do you have any questions?"
Zhou Shu glanced over the crowd and said.
"Let me ask you, when and where did you meet the person who taught you the art of casting soldiers?"
Ge Zhenfeng said, "I checked you. You have never left Tongguan City since you were born, and the owner of Tiangong Pavilion has never appeared in Tongguan City. It is impossible for you two to meet!"
"Two questions, Cheng Hui, 20,000 catties of materials for casting soldiers."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
Ge Zhenfeng's eyes were wide open and he was panting heavily. After a while, he gritted his teeth and threw out 20,000 catties of soldiers' materials.
Zhou Shu asked Xue Liang to move out after counting, and then he said leisurely, "One hundred and seventy years ago, when I was just thirteen years old, I was outside Tongguan City, and I was taught the art of casting soldiers."
Ge Zhenfeng pricked up his ears and waited for a long time, but he didn't hear what he wanted to hear.
"that's it?"
He stared at Zhou Shu.
"When, where, I answered both questions."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
Ge Zhenfeng: "..."
Just such a sentence, you want me 20,000 catties of materials for casting soldiers?
Are you fucking taking me for a ride?
If the tiger doesn't show its power, you really treat me like a sick cat?
"You haven't explained yet, the owner of Tiangong Pavilion has never been to Tongguan City, why did you meet him?"
Ge Zhenfeng gritted his teeth and said.
"That's the third question."
Zhou Shu looked at Ge Zhenfeng and said.
Ge Zhenfeng's eyes were red with anger, he gasped loudly, wishing he could bite Zhou Shu to death.
He threw out 10,000 catties of soldier-casting materials again, or he was the sixth elder of the Ge family, and he had quite a lot of soldier-casting materials with him.
"When did I say that the person I met was the owner of the Tiangong Pavilion? You should ask him, not me, if the owner of the Tiangong Pavilion has ever been to Tongguan City. Someone taught me the art of casting soldiers." , who he is, I don't know."
Zhou Shu said it as a matter of course.
Spend 10,000 catties of materials for casting soldiers, and you will get such an answer in exchange.
Ge Zhenfeng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Yes, from the beginning to the end, Zhou Shu only said that he learned the art of casting soldiers from one person, but he never said clearly who that person was.
That person is the owner of the Tiangong Pavilion, and it was Jin Kui who said it from the very beginning.
Zhou Shu himself neither admitted nor denied.
But he didn't deny it, so it couldn't be his fault, and he didn't know who that person was.
That's what I said, but after spending 10,000 catties of casting materials, and finally got such an answer, Ge Zhenfeng felt that his brain was flooded!
In fact, Ge Zhenfeng was not the only one who felt this way.
Others also felt a little unbearable to look directly at.
Zhan had already moved his feet, and looked closer at Zhou Shu, he was afraid that Ge Zhenfeng would become angry and make a sudden move.
After all, this is a strong man in the Heavenly Exalted Realm. If he suddenly attacked Zhou Shu, it would be very dangerous.
Ge Zhenfeng was panting like an angry bison. He glared at Zhou Shu, but in the end he didn't make a move directly.
Not to mention that Zhou Shu had war guards, just by looking at Hou Baidong's reaction, Ge Zhenfeng knew that he would not fight with him.
He couldn't figure out what was going on now.
"Governor Hou, what exactly do you mean?"
Ge Zhenfeng turned his head to look at Hou Baidong, and asked.
"Are you questioning me?"
Hou Baidong said coldly, Ge Zhenfeng's tone made him feel very uncomfortable.
He, Hou Baidong, is the third deputy head of the Tiangong Pavilion. What does he need to explain to a little sixth elder of the Ge family?
Now he only wants the casting method of the curse, other than that, everything else is not important.
As long as he can get the casting method of the curse, so what if Zhou Shu can be proud for a while?
A kid who has never seen the world, really thinks that he can wrestle with Tiangong Pavilion with a few skills of casting soldiers that he doesn't know where he learned?
Even if he is really the pavilion master's direct disciple, the pavilion master himself does not know whether he is alive or dead, and a direct disciple still wants to take over the Tiangong Pavilion?
You don't even dream of doing this!
This Wu Zongquan thought he was holding himself, and when he got the casting method of the curse, there were ten thousand ways to make him regret being born in this world.
As for the casting materials that I gave, I just let him have a look. It won't be long before I can get back the principal with interest.
Only a fool like Ge Zhenfeng really threw out the materials for casting soldiers.
Hou Baidong thought in his heart, from the beginning to the end, he never thought that he would let Zhou Shu go.
No matter whether Zhou Shu is the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion or not, after his use value is exhausted, he will only have a dead end.
"Master Hou, that's not what I mean, it's just the purpose of our coming here—"
Seeing that Hou Baidong was angry, Ge Zhenfeng immediately panicked. Don't look at this Hou Baidong who always has a smile on his face and looks approachable.
But those who are familiar with him know that this person is just a smiling tiger, extremely cruel and merciless.
Ge Zhenfeng had dealt with Hou Baidong a lot, so he naturally knew who Hou Baidong was.
To be honest, he, the sixth elder of the Ge family, really couldn't afford to offend Hou Baidong.
"Hmph, I know better than you about this matter."
Hou Baidong snorted coldly, "I don't need you to tell me what to do! If you want to stay here, just be honest with me, or get out!"
Ge Zhenfeng's old face was flushed red, he is the sixth elder of the Ge family, when did he suffer such insult?
This Hou Baidong, who usually put on a smiling face, but after turning his face, dared to treat himself like this, damn it!
Ge Zhenfeng felt aggrieved in his heart, but he couldn't help it!
Seeing Ge Zhenfeng's embarrassment, Ge Changlong felt sad.
No matter how he and Ge Zhenfeng did not deal with each other, Ge Zhenfeng was a member of his Ge family after all.
Hou Baidong slapped his members of the Ge family in such a face, obviously he didn't take the Ge family seriously.
But Hou Baidong didn't even pay attention to Ge Zhenfeng, and he, Ge Changlong, was even less qualified to wrestle with him.
The only one who can confront Hou Baidong here is his second brother, right?
Ge Changlong set his sights on Zhou Shu, hoping that Zhou Shu could save Hou Baidong another face.
In fact, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Shu, and before he knew it, Zhou Shu had become the focus of the audience.
Even Hou Baidong didn't realize this point.
A casual sentence from Zhou Shu can change the situation on the scene.
"Are there any questions?"
Zhou Shu said, "If you have any questions, please hurry up and ask them. Don't wait for the time. After today, no matter how much material you have for casting soldiers, I will not answer your questions anymore."
"That Hou—Baidong, right? And those elders, didn't you come to investigate my identity? Don't ask him a hundred or eighty questions to confirm my identity?"
Zhou Shu even asked with some expectation.
Ge Zhenfeng was pressed and rubbed on the ground again, he doesn't even deserve a name?
"Sixth Elder, do you have any questions?"
Hou Baidong looked at Ge Zhenfeng and asked coldly.
There was a threat in his eyes, and the meaning was very clear. If you have any questions, swallow them back for me. If you dare to delay Lao Tzu's time, I will turn around and plot against you!
Ge Zhenfeng swallowed the words that came to his lips aggrieved.
"Gone!"
He said in a muffled voice.
As a person who became the elder of the Ge family by relying on nepotism, being able to bend and stretch is Ge Zhenfeng's greatest skill.
Zhou Shu sighed with some regret, every question is material for casting soldiers, it is rare that two wronged seeds come to the door by himself, and he has not earned enough.
This damned Hou Baidong, doesn't he know how to block people's money, such as killing his parents?
If he didn't allow Ge Zhenfeng to ask questions, then he would have to make up for his loss.
"Since you are all fine, let's move on to the next process."
Zhou Shu then waved and said, "Vice Pavilion Master Hou, right, you want to improve the method of casting the magic spell, but the price is not worth it."
A businessman-like smile appeared on Zhou Shu's face, "I recommend you to buy a package."
"combo?"
Hou Baidong showed a puzzled look on his face.
Jin Kui and Ge Changlong also looked at Zhou Shu curiously, what does the set meal mean?
"Buy the original and improved version of the magic spell together, and I can give you a 10% discount on the price."
Zhou Shu talked carefully and said, "You can also buy other secret recipes for casting soldiers together. The more you buy, the more discounts will be. Moreover, the discounts are different for different secret recipes for casting soldiers. Let me give it to you. Please explain—”
Full discount, buy one get one free...
Zhou Shu talked eloquently, and people like Hou Baidong and Jin Kui were also stunned when they heard it.
Strictly speaking, their Tiangong Pavilion is also a business, and the magical weapons they cast are also sold outside.
However, the magic weapons in this world are rare and expensive, and others have always begged for their Tiangong Pavilion, and the magic weapons they forged have never been worried about selling.
So they have never heard of so many tricks.
Can you still sell things like this?
Although Hou Baidong didn't understand much of what he heard, he also understood one thing, that is, it is indeed more cost-effective to buy according to the package.
Not only that, but his heart was burning when he heard it.
This Wu Zongquan, although it is not known whether he is the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master, but his secret is of great value.
He has mastered so many secret recipes for casting soldiers!
Now Hou Baidong really believes that Zhou Shu is the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, even if he is not, Zhou Shu must have had a great opportunity.
If this opportunity can come to him, then he can't fly up in place?
For a moment, Hou Baidong couldn't help but wanted to take Zhou Shu back to Tiangong Pavilion for interrogation, digging out all the secrets in his mind.
But he finally pushed back the idea.
Interrogation may not be a good way, it may not be able to interrogate his secrets, and it is a waste of time.
Since this kid is obsessed with money, and he sells his secret recipe for casting some soldiers' materials, then he will use the simplest method to get the secret recipe of soldier casting first.
Isn't it just some casting materials? So what if I give it to him first?
Anyway, these materials for casting soldiers will return to him sooner or later.
He was ordered to take the materials for casting soldiers, but he was not ordered to use them. This is what happened to Wu Zongquan.
"The package is right, I bought it."
Thinking of this, Hou Baidong said richly, "The casting method of the improved version of the binding spell, the method of casting soldiers of the original binding spell, and the tiger wing knife,..."
"I want all of these secret recipes for casting soldiers, you calculate the price!"
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. He Hou Baidong has nothing else, and there are plenty of materials for casting soldiers!
He is not Jin Kui's crane tail, he is Hou Baidong, but the third deputy head of Tiangong Pavilion, one of the most powerful people in the world!
"I like customers like you."
The smile on Zhou Shu's face was very sincere, "I still have a lot of good things here, we can do business again later."
"The things you want are all good things. You really deserve to be the deputy head of the Tiangong Pavilion. This kind of vision is what you want."
"Good things, of course, won't be cheap, but they're definitely worth the money. You won't be able to buy them anywhere except here."
"Let me do the math for you."
"..."
"All the discounts add up to a total of 5.62 million catties of soldier-casting materials. If the soldier-casting materials you brought out, Vice Pavilion Master Hou, are particularly precious, I can reduce the quantity for you as appropriate."
Zhou Shu looks like a qualified businessman now.
Jin Kui's expression was extremely dignified, and his eyes kept moving on Zhou Shu and Hou Baidong.
He was the first to know Zhou Shu, but now Hou Baidong picked the peaches instead?
Don't brothers Zong Quan know how precious these secret recipes are?
Just for some military casting materials, he is going to sell these things to Hou Baidong?
I, Jin Kui, want it too!
It's a pity that I don't have so many materials for casting soldiers, what should I do?
If Hou Baidong was allowed to buy these secret recipes for casting soldiers, nothing else would matter, but the method of casting with the magic spell is the untold secret of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, which is of great significance.
Jin Kui wanted to stop Zhou Shu, but he didn't know what identity he would use to stop him.
"5.62 million catties—"
Hou Baidong pondered, this is not a small amount, but for him, it is barely within the acceptable range.
The main reason is that these materials for casting soldiers are just for Wu Zongquan to pass through, and he can take them back immediately, so Hou Baidong doesn't feel distressed at all.
Wu Zongquan thought he had earned it, but he didn't know that when he found a chance to dismiss the spirit worm, he would be caught immediately. At that time, not only would he have to get back the materials for casting soldiers, but Wu Zongquan's life would also be his own. The same will be charged!
With this idea, Hou Baidong would try his best to scrape together even 10 million jin of soldier-casting materials, not to mention more than 5 million jin of soldier-casting materials.
"A lot, but not a lot."
Hou Baidong continued, "Boy, I will give you the materials for casting soldiers, but the secret recipe for casting soldiers, don't play tricks on me. I can still tell whether it is true or not. If you dare to play tricks, don't blame me for not using it." polite!"
"Don't worry, I have no other advantages as a person, but I am particular about it."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "We open the door to do business. The most important thing is to talk about credibility. If you don't talk about credibility, who else would want to do business with you? I have never had a signboard of being innocent. If there is a problem, as long as the materials for casting soldiers are in place, I guarantee that there will be no problems with the goods, if there is a problem, you can come to me, and I will refund the original price without taking any money!"
