Sifang City is a city that never sleeps all year round, let alone now. There are figures everywhere, and all kinds of shouting and selling sounds come and go, and they don't feel noisy, but like a kind of music that makes people feel happy.

Feng Lian and Golden Blood walked down the street leisurely, and it was very pleasant to relax themselves for a long time.

Feng Lian couldn't help but buy a bunch of medicinal herbs again, and he didn't have to stop until there were only a dozen pieces of Fan Jing left in the Ethereal Ring. With the golden blood, this time his spar flower is worth it.

The golden blood is carefully calculated with his fingers broken, not the spiritual material he urgently needs, and he will never make a move. Even if he made a move, he pushed the price down to the point that the vendor had to call his father before taking out the spare.

"Golden Blood, is your master short of money now?" Feng Lian asked.

Jin Blood looked at Feng Lian curiously and asked, "Big brother, are you looking for my master to borrow money?" I advise you to forget it. He's poorer than I am now. Do you remember that crazy old man? the one who put me to death. Do you remember the big room of large spiritual artifacts you saw in the Void Spirit Valley? They were all moved from Yongding City and lent to him. Not only did he not return it, but he also deceived a large number of spiritual materials and spiritual weapons from my master. It made my master unable to complete the order, and now someone comes to urge the goods every day. There are two areas of Yongding City that have stopped operating due to the lack of spiritual materials and spars. ”

As soon as Feng Lian heard this, he felt that the matter entrusted by Yu Chaojiang was more than one percent more certain.

Sifang City is really not as good as the treatment of Baihua Valley, although it is also a small courtyard, but the environment is definitely not as good as the wind and cheap they live in.

As soon as Ye Kun saw the golden blood, he scolded bitterly. If you don't return overnight, you will be scolded. Feng Lian is also drunk. It seems that the past few years of Golden Blood are really not the life he deserves. However, with such a master, his potential can be squeezed out. It's squeezing, not excitation.

"It's you, boy. Ye Kunchu only noticed Feng Lian standing outside the door at this time, and greeted him very warmly to enter, saying, "The mess in the square was done by your crazy old man." You stay away from him, or you won't know how to die. ”

Golden Blood immediately corrected: "My eldest brother is so handsome and elegant, how can he have such a lewd father. ”

Ye Kun slapped his palm on the door of Jin Xue's head, and said, "Did I say the word Dad?" Hurry up and give me cultivation, if you can't win the championship, I will lock you up for a hundred years." ”

The golden blood was directly kicked by him into the cultivation room next door.

"Boy, what's the matter with me?"

Feng Lian sneered and said, "It's nothing, just come to visit the city lord." ”

Ye Kun glanced at him and said, "Come less, hurry up, I'm not like you young people, I have so much time to waste." ”

Feng Lian didn't say anything, and handed him the drawings directly. Feng Lian had read the drawings, and he could only understand a few of those dense magic circles, but it made him very interested. As for the drawings of weapons, he was like reading a book from heaven. He hoped that those weapon drawings would attract Ye Kunchu.

Ye Kun glanced at it and said, "It's not interesting to create a mortal-level spirit weapon."

Feng Lian took the drawings thrown by Ye Kunzhu, handed them over again, and said, "Look at this spiritual weapon again, it's not ordinary." ”

Ye Kun didn't answer, just glanced at it, "...... Hey, this is the weapon of the Zangyu Empire in the Western Continent to form a battle array. ”

Feng Lian had just mentioned a glimmer of hope in his heart, and Ye Kun said again: "It's still nothing new, I'm not interested in this thing." ”

Feng Lian said cautiously: "Look at the drawings in the back. It is said that no one can crack it. ”

Feng Lian asked about the golden blood, and Ye Kunchu was most afraid that others would say that the magic circle he engraved was not good. The magic circle he engraved was really ordinary, and it couldn't be compared to the master of the Qingzong Instrument Hall. So tease him with words.

Sure enough, when Ye Kunchu looked at the hundreds of pages of drawings, he concentrated a lot. Suddenly, Ye Kun asked, "It seems that the Zangyu Empire is about to set off a bloody storm again." What do you think, boy?"

Feng Lian admires it very much in his heart, this is the vision, it is the insight, and you can know the beginning and end of the matter only by this incomplete set of drawings.

Feng Lian thought of countermeasures along the way, and said directly: "Yongding City is the city of the Lord of Ye City, and it is also the city of all the residents, and it is also the city of the people of the world. ”

Feng Lian paused for a moment, seeing that Ye Kun didn't react, he was still looking at the drawings, and said, "If your disciples of equal strength fight for control of Yongding City, then this battle is likely to be endless.

"A few of your disciples may not have been harmed, but the residents living in Yongding City have definitely been extremely harmed. And they are innocent, but they have to suffer undeserved harm. Then these residents are likely to move away from Yongding City, and the people who remain will probably not love and cherish this city as much as they did at the beginning. Because the city has no backbone, and it has not given them the stability and happiness they want. They have lost their faith. People who do not have faith have no sense of belonging, and without a sense of belonging, they do not cherish the city in which they live.

"The city of Yongding will surely become dilapidated, losing its former splendor and brilliance. Let those outsiders who come to disappoint and leave. As the days go by, the final outcome of Yongding City is to decline, until it disappears in the long history

In the river. ”

Ye Kun didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "You mean to let me kill the other disciples and leave only one person?"

Feng Lian said: "That can only show that you are not a qualified father and cannot let your children unite and love." If you want to maintain the existence of Yongding City, you can only make that choice, which is the most helpless, the most cruel, and the best choice. ”

Ye Kun snorted coldly: "Let them fight on their own, survival of the fittest, maybe they can give Yongding City a new height." ”

"If those fights are under control, this is undoubtedly a good idea. But if it's out of control, how will it end, and what will the people do?"

"If there is no fighting, how can we tell who is superior and who is inferior?"

Feng Lian replied: "The winner of the competition is not necessarily the one with the highest cultivation and quality. ”

Ye Kun raised his eyes to look at Feng Lian and said, "In the affairs of the Western Continent, it is better for me to interfere less. No matter how many people die, it doesn't matter to me. ”

Feng Lian said with some annoyance: "Could it be that you are also like what the world says, high-level cultivators have to forget the seven emotions and six desires, so they have to erase the true emotions in their hearts, and they don't even bother to look at the life and death of sentient beings?"

Ye Kun said angrily: "Bold!"

Feng Lian looked at him without humility or arrogance, and said: "I just don't want the Western Continent to become miserable because of some people's selfish desires. Cultivators themselves have taken away a lot of mortals' survival resources, and when they are successful in cultivation, shouldn't they give back to sentient beings?"

"What if they're the same in all respects?, how to choose?" Ye Kunchu still glared at Feng Lian, but his tone was much more relaxed.

Feng Lian replied: "Then choose any one and help him to crush the others." ”

Ye Kunchu asked again, "How well do you know him?"

Feng Lian breathed a sigh of relief and said truthfully: "It's not that deep, and it can even be said that I don't understand it at all." ”

"Tell me why you chose him. ”

Feng Lian took a deep breath and said, "Feel it." I feel that he is a responsible and open-minded person. ”

Ye Kun asked aggressively with a stupid look in his eyes, "What if your choice is wrong, and how should you explain it to the beings of the Western Continent?"

"There's nothing that doesn't come with a price, and there's nothing that doesn't have risks. Anyway, it's rotten now, and how rotten it can be. Even if this option doesn't heal the wound, as long as it stops the fester. It's the right choice. As for the future, we will choose and solve it again. The clothes on Feng Lian's body were already soaked with sweat, and in front of Ye Kunchou, he didn't dare to make a small move. It's uncomfortable to stick to.

"How much?"

When Feng Lian heard this, he almost laughed out loud, and finally persuaded Ye Kunshu. Stretching out three fingers, he said, "Three hundred thousand." ”

Ye Kun was silent for a while, and said: "The material cost is six million immortal crystals, the production fee is four million immortal crystals, and the advance payment is five million immortal crystals." Deliveries will be completed within 30 years. If you can, sign the agreement. ”

"A total of 10 million immortal crystals, are you serious?" Feng Lian almost jumped up and looked at Ye Kun in disbelief.

Ye Kun glanced at him angrily, and said, "What are you rebelling against if you don't have money?" Go home and wash and sleep." ”

"City Lord Ye, Master Ye, Senior Ye, don't you want to kill people with a stick?" Feng Lian thought that the price offered by Ye Kun would be higher. But he didn't expect that the price he offered was more than double the price that Yu Chaojiang could afford, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ye Kun looked at Feng Lian and said, "You call the main master to come and talk to me, come over now, I will be the referee tomorrow night, and I don't have time to waste with you little boys." ”

How dare Feng Lian be lazy, take out the jade slip left by Yu Chaojiang, and inject a wisp of soul power. At the same time, the results of the conversation with Ye Kun were passed on to him, so that he could be prepared.

In just a quarter of an hour, Yu Chaojiang rushed over. As soon as he saw Ye Kun, he immediately saluted respectfully, losing the majesty of the fifth prince.

"Tell me your price. Ye Kun asked straight to the point.

Yu Chaojiang said calmly: "A total of three and a half million immortal crystals, and the delivery will be completed within ten years." ”

Ye Kun said angrily: "Just this money, are you too embarrassed to speak?" You can go, I don't bother to talk to you." ”

Yu Chaojiang said: "Then you can't open your mouth for 10 million immortal crystals, this is too high, right?"

Ye Kun said stupidly: "Gao, then you go to find someone else." If we don't accept this list in Yongding City, we have to have an unclear relationship with your Zangyu Empire, which is a curse or a blessing. ”

Yu Chaojiang still said so calmly: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, don't you think that cooperating with the Zangyu Empire is also a chance for Yongding City?"

A smile of approval flashed in Ye Kun's eyes, and he still asked with disdain: "What chance can an empire that is extremely rotten give me Yongding City?

Yu Chaojiang smiled and said, "Our Zangyu Empire has a vast territory, rich in mineral resources, and all kinds of spiritual and medicinal materials are inexhaustible. And your Yongding City has been overwhelmed by Qingzong and Shizong all these years.

The minerals purchased were nearly one percent higher than those of Shi Zong, and the purchase of spiritual materials and medicinal materials was one percent higher than that of Qing Zong. As a result, you can't get in and out now, I heard that another area of Yongding City stopped operating yesterday. Do you say it's an opportunity?"

Ye Kun's face was a little ugly and said: "Our Yongding City is not as unbearable as you said, those three areas just need to be maintained and temporarily stop operating." ”

Yu Chaojiang did not continue to dwell on this topic, and said: "You and your ancestor founded Yongding City, which can be said to be an unprecedented feat. But the current situation of Yongding City, you know better than anyone else, the daily maintenance cost is so high that you have the idea of wanting to tear it down, right?

"That's because you're limited by resources and can't improve yourself. You were originally a casual practitioner and self-taught, so your knowledge is limited. In particular, you lack the knowledge to improve your manufacturing skills, and it is not enough to rely on your own efforts. And our empire has a long heritage, and the Imperial Library has hundreds of millions of books and all kinds of materials, is this an opportunity?"

Ye Kunchu was finally moved and asked, "Can you open your empire's library to me?"

Yu Chaojiang said sincerely: "If you can't now, it doesn't mean that you can't in the future." I swear, as long as I have that power, I'll be open to you as soon as I can. ”

"You kid has two hits, and they both make me a little excited. Ye Kun smiled, regained his serious expression, and said, "To get back to the point, my lowest price is eight million Wonderland, and I prepaid four million, which can't be lower." ”

"City Lord Ye, I know that you are in urgent need of money now, but I don't have that much money now. In fact, we all want to complete this cooperation, what do you say we should do?" Yu Chaojiang kicked the ball to Ye Kunchou.

Feng Lian saw that Yu Chaojiang's back was already soaked, but he could still maintain such a calm state of mind and a steady breath. His mind was still flexible, and he was impressed by the fact that he had just the right grasp of the situation of the negotiation.

Ye Kun was silent for a while and asked, "As a prince, you should have your own mine, right?"

Yu Chaojiang replied: "There are six mines that belong to me, but only two are still producing now, and the other four are almost hollowed out. ”

"What mine?"

"There are mainly fluorite pattern ore, Maoxi gold ore and fog phosphorus cloud ore. ”

When Ye Kun heard about the foggy phosphorus cloud mine, he immediately had the spirit and said: "Deliver six million cubic meters of various ores to Yongding City every quarter, and deduct ...... according to the market price."

Yu Chaojiang interrupted: "That's it, City Lord Ye, I'll pay five hundred thousand immortal crystals in advance." The minerals in my name will be transferred to your name, and you will be allowed to mine them indefinitely, and you will be entitled to offset the cost of making these weapons. ”

Ye Kun said stupidly: "Show me the information of your six mines." ”

Yu Chaojiang respectfully presented the six tokens to Ye Kunxuan.

Feng Lian noticed that Ye Kunchu became more and more happy the more he looked at it, and he had to admire Yu Chaojiang's negotiation skills.

In the morning, Yu Chaojiang also said that his six mines are all newly discovered mines, with huge reserves, and they are not about to be hollowed out as he said. When he said this, he wanted to throw out a bait to lure Ye Kun into the bait.

Yu Chaojiang estimated that the minerals produced by his six mines were worth 11 million immortal crystals at most, and after deducting manpower and material resources, as well as transportation and other expenses, the profit would be around 4 million immortal crystals, not counting the cost of time. It's completely worth it to deduct the cost of weapon production, and even if he earns it.

He understood that Ye Kunchu was not good at mining, and it was very likely that he could not estimate the specific cost, so he felt that he had made a lot of money.

After Ye Kun finished reading it, he returned to his serious expression and said, "The cost of mining is very high, and these mines are not enough to deduct the cost of making spiritual weapons. ”

Yu Chaojiang took out a piece of jade slip and handed it to Ye Kunzhu.

Ye Kunchu said while watching: "You can choose 20 existing mines, and you will have 10% of the mining rights in 300 years...... If a new mine is detected in the territory of the Empire, Yongding City will have 30% of the mining rights in perpetuity...... All spiritual materials and medicinal materials were sold to Yongding City at a price five percent lower than the market price......"

"These are all empty words, and now you don't have the ability to do that. Ye Kunchu threw the jade slip back into Yu Chaojiang's hand and said unceremoniously.

Yu Chaojiang said: "If I have this batch of weapons, it is possible to fulfill the promise just now. If City Lord Ye can help me, I will definitely be able to achieve it. ”

Feng Lian knew at this time that Yu Chaojiang's real purpose was to tie Ye Kunchu to his chariot. It can be said that he is really a genius of negotiation. If Ye Kunchu agreed, with this powerful foreign aid, he would have at least a sixty percent chance of winning the throne.

"You're trying to pull me into your quagmire?" Ye Kun said with a lower face.

Yu Chaojiang said very sincerely: "And to stick to an Eastern Continent that is hopeless, suppressed everywhere, and bullied from time to time, why not try to open up a new world in the Western Continent." Give me, but also give yourself a chance. ”

"I'm not interested! please go back!" said Ye Kunchu and walked out of the door, he was going to be the referee.

"Chaojiang has seen the seniors, and this is a meeting gift for the juniors. Yu Chaojiang threw a piece of jade slip to Ye Kun.
