Even this kind of crossing the ocean is not completely free from the adventurous nature of licking blood from the knife's edge, but it is far safer than dealing directly with pirates.

Moreover, there are also unknown terrifying existences such as the rumored Green Island, and just a side investigation will attract many powerful cultivators.

Li Zhi's stern refusal is tantamount to treating them as his own, and it is undoubtedly a very happy thing to have such a master who knows the heat, shelters from the wind and rain, and is willing to protect his subordinates.

Even Sada, who has always been ruthless, feels warm in his heart, and it cannot be said that the decisive idea of the death of a person who is a confidant of Lishengshi is determined, at least the idea of surrendering to his heart is even more determined.

In fact, Li Zhi also has his own plans, this era is still more than 500 years before the advent of the Age of Discovery, and the current European pirates are far less powerful and rampant than before.

In addition, the sea route from Datang to Europe is still in the most rudimentary stage, and it is far from reaching the level of shipping prosperity in the future.

It was only then that Western European merchants brought in expensive silk and spices in trade with the East, resulting in a massive outflow of precious metals.

So far, there are very few ships directly to Europe, most of them are ships from the Western Regions, and many trade routes have not yet been opened, and pirates are also paying more attention to the inherent shipping lanes with ships from the Western Regions.

Even if their own Shengjing shipping will come and go often in the future, it is rare to see it once in a few months, and in the vast sea, it is most likely that it depends on luck to deliberately look for this kind of fleet that appears by chance.

He planned to make time to come and find out after Gaozong's death, after the great changes in the country stabilized, so he was not in a hurry to start early, so as not to startle the snake.

In the sea where pirates from all countries gather, except for pirates from the Western Regions, Oriental pirates, and European pirates, the rest are black pirates.

It is difficult to ensure that their defense against each other is extremely tight, and if a huge sea target like the Shengjing Zero, some sneaky exploration behavior is no different from directly telling those who patrol the sea.

Besides, he really didn't want to involve his own fleet, the purpose of Shengjing Shipping was business, and Li Zhi would never use it for other purposes.

Combined with the above, Li Zhi did not wait for the two to show gratitude or joy, and once again solemnly warned the two:

"I'm not saying it casually, in the future, it is strictly forbidden for you to make self-righteous explorations without authorization, if that is the case, I will not hesitate to dissolve Shengjing Shipping, and I don't want my brothers to be hurt because of me!"

With the strong warning in his tone, the two felt the solemnity in it, and nodded involuntarily in agreement.

Sada said: "Mr. Li, now I believe in your previous promise, and you are sincerely thinking about us!" ”

The rough and reckless character of many years of wandering at sea, even if it has been relatively stable on land for many years, has not worn away much of its character, but at this time, it is the eye socket of the prosthetic eye under the intuition that there is a trace of soreness.

Li Zhineng clearly sensed the changes in the mood of the two of them, and secretly rejoiced that their loyalty had improved significantly.

Especially when he saw Sada pulling an eye patch, this person's direct perception was more subtle, but the psychological change was the greatest.

The pirate wears an eyepatch not to cover his blindness, but rather a perfectly normal eye, which is opened whenever he wants to enter a dark environment, such as a sneak attack.

At this time, it already has a certain ability to have night vision. Of course, this ability is not entirely reliable.

So he gouged out an eye and replaced it with an opal, and after the reflection of light, he could still see things very clearly in a very dark environment.

This man has been a pirate for thirty years, and he can be so cruel that he gouges out his eyes, stuffs gems into his eyes, burns them red with a soldering iron, and shrinks around his eye sockets, so that the opal does not know how to fall off, which shows how ruthless his heart is.

But he is such a character, he yearns for a stable life in his heart, and Li Zhi is a person who does great things, and he can't bear to let him repeat the mistakes of the past.

Hearing that this person rarely spoke in his heart, Li Zhi sighed with some emotion:

"Sada, especially you, drifting at the sea at the age of sixteen, anchored at the age of thirty-six, just a few years after a peaceful birthday, I was dragged into the sea again, in fact, first of all, I don't want to go!"

An ugly smile appeared on Sada's face:

"But sailing is the love of my life, and if it weren't for my conscience, maybe I would grow old at sea! Now that Mr. Li has not only fulfilled my hobby, but also given me a proper livelihood, and helped me improve my cultivation, I should be arranged by Mr. and live again! ”

He is the worst Chinese among several former gang leaders, but fortunately, despite stumbling, Li Zhi can always understand.

"Having a normal business is just the common will of both parties, if you can do this business well with all your heart, I will also consider giving you another boost in cultivation strength!" At present, you and Rahman are Level 3 Masters, as long as you are willing to put your mind to doing business, I guarantee that within three years, you will all be able to enter the Grandmaster Realm!" ”

Undoubtedly, Li Zhi's words instantly stimulated the two of them, what the concept of the Grandmaster Realm is, every cultivator knows it.

Even these cultivators of the Exotic Martial Arts can better understand the difficulty of such a person.

Rahman's tone also stumbled at this time: "Li, Mr. Li, are you saying that we can all enter that legendary realm?" ”

Li Zhi didn't rush to answer, but asked rhetorically: "What kind of realm do you two think I am now?" ”

This can be asked to their respective itches, although they all know that Li Zhi's strength is terrifying, and the rumors about him are also full of all kinds of gangsters, and they are currently regarded as people around them, but if you ask Li Zhi's specific realm, no one really knows.

This is also what they talk about most often in private, and they can only summarize Li Zhi's cultivation and must have stepped into the realm of grandmasters.

Speaking of his inference, Li Zhi smiled and said: "The same grandmaster realm is not simple, there are also four different realms at that level, if I say that I have to surpass the peak of the third-level grandmaster, will you believe it?" ”

Rahman was stunned, and even his expression of disbelief was frozen in shock.

But Sada on the side was silent for a moment and then suddenly said:

"I believe Mr. Li, because the current change in the breath of Mr. is obvious, in the Tang Dynasty Taoism, this is called returning to simplicity and returning to the truth, so that the heart and essence return to the original simple nature, which is called removing the exterior ornament in the Taoist cultivation, and returning its essence, that is the real realm of the superior!"

Li Zhi shook his head, but he was not questioning him:

"Restoring the original natural state is just another state in the cultivation, and the next step will be to cultivate the spirit of the immortals, and then to cultivate the divinity, and the essence of the path after the divinity is truly called a return to nature itself! At present, I am only in the simple period above the Grandmaster Realm, never despise the Eastern Earth Datang, there are many higher cultivation than me, there are countless more! ”

This time, Sada was completely shocked, and his expression fell into a stupor for a while.

First, because it confirmed Li Zhi's actual cultivation realm, and secondly, he heard it as sensational as Xuanqi.

After a long time, he asked again, "Those people are the cultivation realm in the mouth of the East?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, "But they don't belong to this world, they are in another special space, and the rules of heaven and earth do not allow people to come here." I will enter there sooner or later, so your efforts now are for yourself, and when I am gone in more than ten or decades, you who stay behind will have enough strength to survive in glory! ”

These words were more like poking them straight into their lungs, stimulating both of them to almost stop breathing, because the meaning of the words seemed to be closer to reality, far more shocking than myths and legends.

Li Zhi talked to them so thoroughly, the natural purpose is to completely recover, not only that the two of them have a Qiankun bag in their hands and almost master most of the goods resources, but also because if Zhengqing Wenqitang wants to continue to develop, overseas sales cannot be ignored.

With the strength of these two grandmasters, there will no longer be an obstacle to overseas transportation in the future, and he needs to use this to shock and subdue him, so that he can master everything.

Although with his mind-reading skills, he has been able to confirm that the two of them in their current state will not have any moths, but there is no guarantee that they will maintain such a state of awe when they become rich in the future.

He did not hesitate to expose his true realm, which was to completely deter them, making them subconsciously afraid every time they thought of themselves.

After excessive timidity, it is awe, and then combined with sincere impressing, it is transformed into surrender, and it is obvious that Li Zhi's goal is gradually being achieved.

Rahman finally replied in his trance: "Mr. Li, knowing you may be the most correct thing we have done in our lives!" Please rest assured, we will understand and accept all your advice in the future! ”

Different from his vows, what Saada said was more straightforward and simple: "Mr. brings everything to us, we dare not say anything in return, we must do our best, there will be no slight mistake, otherwise we will have no face to see Mr. again!" ”

Li Zhi no longer dwelled on this issue, turned over his hand and took out a bunch of half-moon stones, "The road is boring, so I will absorb them, so as to lay a good foundation for the future realm!" You are all old rivers and lakes, you don't need me to be verbose too much, I just need to see the results of this business! ”

"In fact, Mr. has already paved the way for us, there is Mr. Hisham in the Western Regions, and Bastion in Europe, and our products are genuine, I am afraid that the first business will end soon, and it will be surprisingly smooth!" Rahman had a smile on his face.

Li Zhi also laughed, but turned to Sada to remind him alone: "Your temperament is not social, it is not a good phenomenon for future business, even if you laugh, it is more ugly than crying, no matter where you go ashore, the business negotiation will be handed over to others, you just stay on the ship!" ”

Sada showed his unique smile again: "We have already discussed this point, and my dignity is indeed not suitable for public appearance, but the next voyage, I still need an oriental face, after all, Zhengqing Wenqitang products come from Datang!" ”

Li Zhi shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "This is a must, but not the current, the more mysterious Zhengqing Wenqitang is, the more attention will be paid to related products!" At present, we are only opening sales channels, and you can show up before you can cleverly reject all kinds of unreasonable demands. The interests of the merchants come first, but at the same time, the more powerful the person, the more the royal family or local ruler will be backed. Jing, if they make unreasonable demands, you are not the master, you have enough reasons to refuse, they love to buy or not! ”

"Sir, you can't just be strong in business!" Rahman cautioned.

Li Zhidale, "This is not called strength, but confidence in their own products!" Of course, you can't show strong behavior, and it's not easy to pretend that you can't call the shots? ”

Sada still has a stiff tone, which sounds like a laugh, but it always gives people a sense of unreality: "The former pirates and gangsters started a business, and they still licked their faces and made kind gestures, Brother Rahman, you will cry in the days to come!" ”

Rahman laughed, "I don't want to, who told you to laugh more than cry!" ”

Sada ignored his ridicule and turned to Li Zhidao: "Gulitan is a talent in this area, and he was born with a smiling tiger face!" ”
