Chapter 349: Favor
Steward Xiang smiled faintly: "Those upper echelons of the Zhu family, as martial arts cultivators, how can they be interested in money? They are interested in the Chu family's mental methods and magic weapons, as well as your Zhao family's mental methods and magic weapons, the patriarch of the Zhu family is very ambitious, and wants to take advantage of the decline of the Seven Swords Gate and take the opportunity to squeeze into the nine major forces, there must be funding from the hostile forces of the Seven Swords Gate behind them, so that their ambitions will be so inflated!"
"They actually have thoughts about my Zhao family?" the old man in blue said.
Steward Xiang raised his hand for a while, frowned, and immediately changed the topic: "I don't want to talk about these, and I'm not interested in any military maps, now, what I want to get is three hundred weapons, these weapons can just be used by martial cultivators in the True Martial Realm, I know that the most developed industry of the Zhao family is the weapons industry." Speaking of this, I saw Steward Xiang take out a high-grade "Shenyuan Pill" from the space ring, under the illumination of the moonlight, the surface of the pill continued to exude a charming mist, the pill with this characteristic is by no means ordinary, and the women in blue around them were stunned, they had never seen such a beautiful and moving pill.
After a short pause, Steward Xiang pointed to the pill in his hand and explained to the people in front of him: "This is the Shenyuan Dan, I think you are most likely crazy because of your practice, even if you receive it in time, you can still be saved." β
As soon as he heard that it was the "Shenyuan Pill", the old man in blue took the pill in the hands of the six elders, and swallowed it in one gulp without any hesitation.
The pill industry is a very polarized industry, excellent pill pharmacists can refine some high-grade pills, and there are no side effects, the role of this "Shenyuan Dan" is specially used to heal martial cultivators who go mad, however, it is not omnipotent, if you go too deep because of practice, "Shenyuan Dan" will not work, for example, Chu Yun's father insisted on going his own way, and in the end even Shenyuan Dan could not save him;
"Thank you Sixth Elder, thank you Sixth Elder!" the old man in blue couldn't stop bowing his hand, obviously completely impressed by the heart of the Sixth Elder.
As long as he can restore the strength of the previous martial realm, he is willing to do whatever he can for the six elders, although he will not go up to the sword mountain and go to the sea of fire, but he will definitely be able to do what he promised.
"Okay, the next thing, I just ask, my conditions, in three months, I will see things!"
"Yes, I will definitely prepare a thousand weapons, and there will be no less than one!"
"Three hundred pieces are enough, there are not so many people in my house, but they must be practical and well-crafted weapons. β
Hearing the words of the six elders, the old man in blue generally understood his intentions, probably this time, the six elders would not be involved in these struggles, otherwise, they would not only ask for three hundred.
"Yes, I will!"
The old man in blue was about to leave, but in the end, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, turned around, and asked, "Sixth Elder, there is one thing I don't understand, now you just need to raise your arms and exhale, the entire Chu family is yours, why are you always... Speaking of this, the old man in blue didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly bowed his hand again, worried that the celebrity would desecrate his prestige.
Steward Xiang waved his hand lightly and said, "What should be done, I will do it, pay attention to safety." β
"Yes!"
After seeing the blue-clothed old man leave with his female disciple, Steward Xiang turned his head, moved his gaze to Chu Yun, and said, "What do you think of this person?"
However, when he was dying, he was still willing to fight a bloody way for his female apprentices, and he could be regarded as an upright man. Chu Yun's answer was very crisp and accurate, and he didn't even understand the heart of this old man in blue.
Men with a sense of responsibility and men without a sense of responsibility in this world are almost half apart, some men have a sense of responsibility when they are young, and gradually change their minds when they get older, and this old man in blue is seriously injured, but he stood up at the last moment to protect his disciples, such a person has no way for what purpose, he must be an excellent partner.
Steward Xiang laughed at the moment, then patted Chu Yun's shoulder heavily, and said, "You are becoming more and more satisfied with me, do you know why I want you to learn to use people?"
Chu Yun really didn't know much about this in the past, according to his past thinking, as long as the strength of the martial realm was strong enough, he didn't need any subordinates, but after going through so many things, he slowly overcame his personal heroism, and gradually found that the Xuanhuang world was not like this, otherwise why would Her Majesty the Empress send Qin Bo to bring Father Xiang to help? It's not because the empire needs talents to achieve some goals. And Chu Yun, as a teenager with certain ambitions, of course must learn how to use people.
Chu Yun could already roughly predict why the imperial family would select talents in such an extremely cruel and special way, rather than holding a national martial arts competition to select talents.
There is no doubt that the empire cares more about "loyalty" and "gratitude" than talent, as well as "unity", otherwise Qin Bo will promote Chu Tianheng, who is more talented in the martial realm, rather than the six elders who are slightly less talented.
But this kind of inner quality is far more difficult to verify than talent, because people will always change, and there are too many people who carry one set in front of them and one set on their backs, in case the upper echelons of the empire casually hand over those "Holy Rank Martial Arts", "Holy Rank Heart Method", and "Holy Rank Sword" to a martial artist, even if this martial artist succeeds and becomes a strong person, most of them will choose to flee from the battle, and the losses caused to the empire are self-evident.
If the upper echelons of the empire are to manipulate these "saint-level martial arts", it also seems that the empire is too narrow-minded, and what is the essential difference between it and the family forces like the Chu family and the Zhu family? This kind of stupid method will eventually lead the empire to its demise.
Therefore, the empire chose the most reliable class curve, "rule by inaction", under this system of "rule by inaction", any bull, ghost, snake and god will show his essence.
"The empire must have chosen another way to cultivate talents, but after these people became the henchmen of the empire, they got the heart of the empire, and finally chose betrayal, and after the empire was cold, they chose another way to select talents. β
"This method is indeed a bit cruel and a little long, but real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and these things that Qin Bo has done are just for this sentence. β
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Yun bowed his hand to Father Xiang and said, "Father Xiang is planning for my future, thank you Father Xiang." β
Steward Xiang nodded happily: "You are not a peerless genius like that Xiao Yan girl, just an ordinary genius, so you must learn to use people." In the future, there will be a lot of difficulties waiting for you to deal with, Uncle Qin helps us, that's not for nothing, he definitely hopes that you can do something that others can't do, but your martial arts talent is not as good as Qi Mengxing and Xiao Yan after all, to put it mildly, you are not even as good as your two fiancΓ©es, learn from each other's strengths, don't forget your strengths. β
"My strengths?" Chu Yun's eyes widened, he only knew that his greatest strength was that he was as thick-skinned as a city wall in front of the woman he loved, and as for any other strengths, he really hadn't discovered them.
Steward Xiang smiled slightly: "Your strengths are the same as mine, and you are good at uniting people's hearts. β
Chu Yun scratched his head and smirked: "This is not my strength, Qi Mengxing is only twenty-five years old, and he has been sincerely supported by a group of female martial cultivators above the Jade Martial Realm, and I... I am still an outer disciple of the Chu family. β
Thinking of Qi Mengxing, Chu Yun always felt inferior, this terrifying woman had a martial arts talent comparable to Xiao Yan, was well versed in human nature, and was good at management, even Chu Yun had to be grateful to her, grateful that she was able to realize her little ambition, not to mention the genius female martial arts cultivators next to her.
Showing disbelief in his inferiority complex, Chu Yun suddenly wanted to compare this eldest sister.
Steward Xiang patted Chu Yun on the shoulder, and said with a loud smile: "Don't be inferior, there are many people who are late bloomers, you Uncle Qin and I are one of them, although Qi Mengxing is very good, but you can't be arrogant because of this, do everything in your hands in a down-to-earth manner, do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, real gold is not afraid of fire." β
"Yes!"
