"Didn't I crack it now! As long as you practice well, I believe you will be able to prolong your life. In addition, I will also find ways to help you improve your cultivation, and maybe one day, you will also live forever. Liu Tao said.

"I don't expect cultivation to make people immortal, I just hope to live until the day when you lead the Baolong clan to wipe out the Rhodes family." Mr. Fan said.

"Don't worry. There will definitely be a day. Grandpa, when are you going to return to HQ? Liu Tao asked.

"It's okay for me to stay here, the sooner the better, of course. Besides, I can't help much here, and if a strong enemy comes to attack, I'll have to trouble you. Mr. Fan said.

"What's so big about this. You can stay here for as long as you want. If you hadn't cultivated me vigorously, I wouldn't be where I am today. To be a human being, you must drink water and think of the source, otherwise you will be no different from animals. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"I'd better go back. The Baolong clan still has a lot of things to deal with for me. By the way, Ah Tao, isn't the cultivator's true qi very precious? Mr. Fan asked.

"Yes. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Liu Tao nodded and said.

"I was thinking that the Rhodes family obviously had so many cultivators, and it was completely possible to annihilate the Baolong clan in one fell swoop, but the other party didn't do it. It seems that it is mainly the true qi that is getting in the way. Mr. Fan said.

"I think so. Once a cultivator's true qi is consumed, then it will have to be replenished through the cultivation of the later stage, and as a result, the progress of cultivation will be delayed. According to my speculation, basically if all the true qi is exhausted, it will not be replenished at all in ten days and half a month. Even if you eat precious herbs, it will take about a week. Therefore, cultivators often regard true qi as more important than their lives. Liu Tao said.

"It seems that everyone is still interested in immortality." Mr. Fan smiled bitterly.

"Yes! Once cultivated to the point of immortality, the true qi can be used at will. Therefore, it is better not to use true qi as much as possible. Liu Tao said.

"Yes. I know. Mr. Fan said.

"In addition, when you are hurt by the outside world, you will also lose the true qi in your body. The same goes for being shot, for example. Liu Tao said.

"Really? I really don't know about that. Mr. Fan said.

"I used to do real yàn. According to the amount of true qi in my body now. If you get 30 shots, your true qi will be depleted. Without the True Qi Protector, the only result is death if you encounter a gunshot again. Liu Tao said.

"I remember helping you with a medicated bath ten times before, and I should have reached the point of invulnerability. So what's going on? Mr. Fan asked.

"The effect of the medicinal bath is that I can absorb the aura between heaven and earth, but the amount of this absorption is not much. At that time I could have been shot three times in a row. If you don't get hurt again after three times, then the lost aura in your body can be slowly replenished. I'm talking about Reiki, not True Qi. True Qi is obtained through cultivation, and Spiritual Qi has not undergone any transformation. Liu Tao said.

"You've said so much. I'm a little confused. Okay, I won't ask, anyway, I just need to cultivate well, and then try not to lose my true qi. Mr. Fan said.

"Yes." Liu Tao nodded.

"After eating, I said goodbye to everyone and then returned to headquarters." Mr. Fan said.

"Yes. I'll send you. Liu Tao said.

"You can just send me to the island city. When I got on the plane, someone would pick me up. Mr. Fan said.

"How can this work. I'll send you anyway. Liu Tao said.

"Not really. Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. If God really wants me dead, then even if you protect me, it won't help. Besides, they may not know my whereabouts now, as long as they can return to the headquarters safely, no matter how good they are, they can't do anything to me. Mr. Fan said.

"Okay. Call me if anything. Liu Tao said.

"Yes."

At this time, everyone got up one after another.

Wait until you're done eating. Liu Tao drove Mr. Fan to the Island City International Airport. Since Fang Baichuan also had to go back to the island city to deal with the industries under his name, everyone left together.

When he arrived at the international airport, Liu Tao put Mr. Fan on the flight, then said goodbye to Fang Baichuan and drove away.

Fang Baichuan originally wanted to stay with Liu Tao in the island city for one night, but considering that Liu Tao was very busy now, he didn't speak.

After Liu Tao returned to Binjiang, he came directly to the compound of the Binjiang Municipal Party Committee.

When he met Cui Guodong, the other party was resting in the office.

Liu Tao said hello to him, and then sat down on the sofa.

"You kid has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. How can I help? Despite the opening. Before Liu Tao could speak. Cui Guodong opened his mouth first.

"Uncle Cui, you really know me better and better now. Originally, I was going to discuss it with you on the phone, but considering that this matter is more important, I came to discuss it with you in person. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Listen to you. This thing seems to be quite big? Go ahead. Cui Guodong said with a smile.

"It's not big, it's big. I want to build a trading market for jadeite raw materials in Binjiang. Of course, it's just jadeite now, and there may be rubies, diamonds, and so on in the future. Liu Tao said.

"You can't have made this decision when you were hot-headed, right? How do I sound so unreliable. What are you talking about about jadeite, rubies. Aren't diamonds basically all in the South? We don't seem to have such a trading market in the north. But not having it doesn't mean it's feasible, and sometimes it doesn't just mean that it's not going to work. Cui Guodong said.

"I didn't have a hot brain, a slap in my chest, and a decision in my ass. There must be a reason why I want to build such a trading market. Liu Tao smiled bitterly.

"Tell me about it." Cui Guodong said.

"I went to country L the other day and negotiated a deal there. In the future, more than half of the jadeite raw materials in country L will be handed over to me for sale. You say, I can't put this trading market in Nagumo Province, right? It's so far away from here, I can't take care of it. Besides, the reason why I want to establish this trading market in Binjiang City is not to make Binjiang City more prosperous. Liu Tao said.

"More than half of the jadeite raw materials? That's not a small amount! Even if you build a trading market, it is completely feasible. After all, there are many buyers in the north now, and if they can be shipped in large quantities, the market should be more active at that time. When are you going to build this trading market? What can I do? Cui Guodong suddenly became interested. (To be continued.) )
