Chapter 69, belated apologies
"Since Your Majesty said so, I can't let Your Majesty spend too much, after all, this elixir was bought by you for the people of the whole country, so let's give a 20% discount, just 99,990,000 taels of gold. Ji Fengtian said.
"Poof~!" Dongfang Ming, who was originally full of joy, put the teacup to his mouth and took a sip, and before he could swallow it, he squirted out.
"Nearly 100 million taels of gold, why don't you grab it?" Dongfang Ming's eyebrows were raised, and he looked at Ji Fengtian and said dissatisfiedly.
You must know that one tael of gold is equal to one hundred taels of silver, even if he kills Dongfang Ming, he can't take it out, the royal family doesn't have so much money at all, if there is, he won't buy it, it's too expensive, this goods obviously don't want to sell it to me, I will die today.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, this is already a friendship price, the people of our Ji Mansion, as well as the people of Tianbo Mansion, and the people of Qingyang Mansion, are all waiting for us to help, we are very short of money now, and we can no longer say that we are rich. Ji Fengtian said aggrievedly, and then stretched out his hand and pulled Zhuge Qingming over and said, "Look at it, Qingming is in my house now, and the clothes can't be mixed." ”
When Zhuge Qingming heard Ji Fengtian's words, although he was rolling his eyes wildly, he still rubbed his eyes very cooperatively.
Then he pulled Dongfang Saiyu over, ignoring Dongfang Saitama's complaining eyes and said: "Your Majesty, we can't open the pot anymore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in our house all day long, and you don't allocate some money, think about what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eats and drinks, all of which are the best, which is even worse for our economy, otherwise, Your Majesty, you can bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back." ”
Hearing this, Dongfang Ming's face darkened, the more this kid talked, the more he went too far, and he wanted to bring his son back, there was no door, who could make him make rapid progress at home. After thinking about it, Dongfang Ming said, "Feng Tianxian's nephew, can it be cheaper?"
Ji Fengtian touched his chin and began to think, his eyes changed a few times, and finally said with a struggling look on his face: "Since Your Majesty is so sincere, I will let you have nine taels of silver." ”
Dongfang Ming almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, I spent nearly 100 million taels of gold to buy something, and you were nine taels of silver cheaper, okay, I'd better go, this kid is a bastard.
"Hehe, in that case, I'll go back and think about it first, and I'll give you an answer when I come back. Dongfang Ming said, and then turned around and walked outside.
"In that case, we won't send more, Your Majesty go slowly!" Ji Fengtian said later.
After Dongfang Ming's figure completely disappeared, Zhang Fang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tian'er, won't you offend His Majesty if you do this?" Zhang Fang asked.
"It's okay, it's not me who offended, it was Dongfang Ding who offended, let's wait for Dongfang Ding's arrival. Ji Fengtian said.
"Father, let's go back to practice first, if there is something to call us. Ji Fengtian said.
"Go!" Ji Lingyun looked at his son's departing figure, and sighed helplessly, his son became more and more incomprehensible, but he was still very pleased.
The four of them quickly returned to Zhang Fang's courtyard, Zhuge Qingming and Dongfang Saiyu changed into clean clothes and cultivated in the house, while Ji Fengtian was studying his elixir, Zhang Fang was preparing a potion for quenching the body, and everyone quickly entered their respective states.
Time is passing slowly, and the strength of the Ji family in all aspects is also slowly growing. In this world now, if you take a wrong step, it is likely that you will lose nothing. The Ji family has always kept a low profile, Ji Fengtian did not go to the early dynasty again, Dongfang Saiyu and Zhuge Qingming did not return to the academy, the three of them have been quietly cultivating in the Ji family, whether it is the power of the elements or the defense of the body, everyone has greatly improved.
Within a year, the cultivation of the three of them has re-entered the state of martial perfection, and the width and toughness of the meridians of the three of them are far beyond ordinary people, perhaps for the unreachable gods, their progress is insignificant, but for them now, and even for their future growth, they are a force to be reckoned with.
The three of them comfortably soaked in warm water, and finally ended their boring and painful cultivation, and in this year, everyone felt as if a century had passed.
In this year, many young talents emerged in the empire, and many talents also appeared among the children of commoners. Among them, Liu Daoxing and Huang Yu, who were at the same age as Ji Fengtian and others, also reached the cultivation of martial arts, which would have been impossible if it had been placed in the past, but now it has become a fact.
The emergence of a talent blowout has made most people feel that the prosperous era is coming, and many people think that some unknowable disasters are coming. There are different opinions, and no one can explain the specific reasons.
After the golden prince returned to the Dajin Empire, he told the Dajin Emperor what happened to him, and after the Dajin Emperor, who was not as good as his muscles, learned about that incident, his attitude towards Liu Xiang also changed, and Liu Xiang also found out about this change, but the Dajin Empire didn't say why, Liu Xiang guessed that the Dajin Emperor kicked himself away after thinking about it, and the two sides were suspicious of each other.
After the smell of Liu Daoxing's body was cleared, he went to Cuiyan Building to find Cuihong, but Cuihong disappeared mysteriously, Liu Daoxing had to suspect this matter to Prince Jin, because he knew that Prince Jin was an out-and-out demon, with his emerald appearance, Prince Jin would not be moved, how did he forget about it at that time, although Cuihong was in the land of fireworks, but it was indeed Liu Daoxing's favorite woman, therefore, Liu Daoxing hated Prince Jin very much in his heart, and even wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.
Since Dongfang Ming left the Ji family last time, he has come a few times in the middle, and he is very happy to see Dongfang Saitama's progress, although his son is not the best, but compared to his peers, he is still ahead.
Dongfang Ding did not come to the Ji family to apologize, and Ji Fengtian and the others only made up the Hunger and Thirst Tong Xuandan in their spare time, sold it, and came back in exchange for some medicinal materials. The teenagers who practiced "Wild Bull Decision" before have also become innate martial artists one after another in a year, teenage innate martial artists, who may be stunned by a group of people when they say it, but the Ji family has this background. Of course, due to the scarcity of medicines, the Ji family's innate powerhouse barely reached three hundred.
As for the guards who had cultivated to reach the consummation of a martial artist before, there were also more than a dozen who had good luck and broke through to the innate realm of a martial artist. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of these people, Ji Fengtian asked Ji Yue to quietly bring these people to the Frost Mountain Range for training, and also secretly went to the Dajin Empire to carry out assassination missions. Although the number of people has been sacrificed, the overall combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, whether it is a single assassination or a group battle, it is not inferior to a battle-hardened veteran.
Looking back on the harvest of the past year, Ji Fengtian and the three of them feel that they have lived a very fulfilling life and fantasize about a bright future.
"Knock knock!" When the three of them fell into a fantasy, there was a knock on the door, and the maid's voice sounded outside the door: "Young master, the general told you and Zhang Danshi to go to the main hall." ”
Ji Fengtian reluctantly put on his clothes and walked towards the main hall, this time Dongfang Saiyu did not follow, because he was too tired, and his cultivation was the weakest among the three, although he had now reached the realm of martial artist perfection, but he was still a little worse than Zhuge Qingming, as for Ji Fengtian, Dongfang Saiyu never thought of comparing with him at all, that person was simply a pervert, and now Ji Fengtian can compete with the innate powerhouse just by virtue of his physical strength, he is simply a humanoid demon beast.
"Father, you're looking for me. After Ji Fengtian entered the main hall, he saw Dongfang Ming sitting on it, and after bowing to Dongfang Ming, he looked at Ji Lingyun and asked, not taking Dongfang Ding sitting next to him in his eyes.
"Hehe, Prince Zhenyue, Zhang Danshi, two good, I'm Dongfang Ding. Dongfang Ding suddenly introduced in the back.
"Oh? It turned out to be Lord Dongfang, fortunately, I have long heard that your Dan skills are outstanding, and you can be called the Taishan Beidou in the pill world of the Dayue Dynasty. Ji Fengtian's face changed instantly, as if he didn't know Dongfang Ding, and greeted him warmly.
And Dongfang Ming and Ji Lingyun couldn't help but twitch their faces when they saw Ji Fengtian's performance, Dongfang Ming coughed, and then said: "Since the two of you are also here, your affairs will be resolved through private negotiation, and I and General Ji will go out first." ”
Then the two of them walked outside as if they were fleeing for their lives, and Ji Fengtian was inexplicable.
"I don't know what advice Lord Dongfang has for summoning the two of us this time?" Ji Fengtian asked.
"That's right, I want to exchange the Seven Leaf Flower for your Tongxuan Pill. Dongfang Ding said.
"Seven Leaf Flower Exchange Xuandan?Old man, you're not kidding. Zhuge Qingming's yin and yang strange voice sounded.
"We talk, and it's not the turn of the child to interject. Dongfang Ding suddenly said with gloomy eyes.
"Are you sure?" Zhuge Qingming heard Dongfang Ding's words, and suddenly a treacherous smile appeared on his face, which made Dongfang Ding's heart bulge.
On second thought, you can't offend this kid, otherwise it won't do you any good. Although Dongfang Ding is arrogant, he is also an old fritter, how can he not see that this young man is even more of a thorn. He turned his face and said with a smile: "Hehe, I was joking with you just now, little brother." ”
"Are you kidding? Zhuge Qingming saw the change in Dongfang Ding's attitude, and suddenly felt that his plan had been recognized, and he simply stopped talking.
"Prince Zhenyue, I don't know if you are willing to exchange?" Dongfang Ding asked.
"Sorry, this is our life-saving thing, and we can't change it. Ji Fengtian saw that Dongfang Ding didn't admit his mistake, so he simply stopped talking about it.
"This is negotiable... Dongfang Ding said with a dry smile.
"We don't have much to say, please come back. Ji Fengtian's face instantly turned cold.
Seeing Ji Fengtian's expression, Dongfang Ding knew that his idea of wanting to confuse the past was shattered, originally thinking that this young man would be foolish, hand over the Seven Leaf Flower to him, and then exchange it for Tong Xuandan, and then take care of these two people, who would have thought that this Ji Fengtian would be so unpopular. If I hadn't been forced to have no way, would I have come here?
The bitterness in Dongfang Ding's heart is only known to him. The group of people who left from the Ji family at that time, after they went out, spread the news, and the speed of transmission was faster than the plague, and it didn't take three months for the entire Dayue Dynasty to know about themselves, and it was because of their narrow-mindedness that they couldn't go further in the martial arts.
The people of the Dayue Dynasty woke up every day to scold Dongfang Ding. At the beginning, Dongfang Ding didn't take it seriously, knowing that later these people actually put up banners, posted slogans, and marched everywhere, and they would be talked about and even cursed in a low voice wherever they went.
In fact, if Dongfang Ding was willing, he could kill the people who were talking about him, but the whole country was talking about it, and he couldn't kill it at all. Hiding at home and not coming out? No, no, no, hiding at home, the servants and maids in the house looked at themselves and changed their eyes, and they fired a batch, but after a while, Dongfang Ding found that he was the only one in the house. It's okay to be alone, at least quietly, but those warriors are unwilling to let him go, isn't it because they throw stones at his house, or engrave words, so that Dongfang Ding has almost no rest, and his energy can't keep up, just a year of hard work, Dongfang Ding's hair is all white.
"Two, two, please listen to me. Dongfang Ding stopped the two and said.
"What else do you want to say?" asked Ji Fengtian.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have spoken wildly, insulting Zhang Danshi and Prince Zhenyue, you can punish me as much as you want, just take out the Dan Fang of Tong Xuandan. Dongfang Ding said it, and then he felt that after he said it, his body was much more relaxed.
"Are you really willing to do anything?" Ji Fengtian looked at Dongfang Ding and asked.
"As long as it doesn't violate chivalrous morality, I can agree to anything. Dongfang Ding said.
Ji Fengtian looked at Dongfang Ding, and thought in his heart that this old man was probably also tortured and crazy, and he couldn't treat him like this now, so he simply bypassed this time, but he had to be hemorrhaged.
"Okay, in that case, you should publicly review your mistakes and apologize on the Imperial Capital Square, which is one of them. Ji Fengtian said.
"This... Dongfang Ding looked up at Ji Fengtian and said hesitantly. But after seeing Ji Fengtian's face, Dongfang Ding changed his words again and said, "Okay, I will definitely do this thing." ”
"The second thing, you hand over fifty second-order elixirs. Ji Fengtian said.
"What, what? Fifty second-level elixirs, where do I have so many!" Dongfang Ding said aggrievedly, this time he didn't tell a lie, the second-level elixir was very difficult to find, even if he collected it, he only found thirty straines.
"That's your business, I just have to see things. Ji Fengtian said.
"Okay!" Dongfang Ding thought of the imperial family, knowing that he had to bow to the emperor this time.
"The third and final thing, the people who were in front of you last time, I don't want to know if they are still alive, or you do it, or you tell me, I do it myself. Ji Fengtian licked the corners of his mouth and said.
"These people, I take matters into my own hands, and I promise to give you a satisfactory answer. Dongfang Ding said.
"Okay, my request is over, you can give me the horse chestnut first. Ji Fengtian said.
Dongfang Ding hurriedly took out a jade box from his arms and handed it to Ji Fengtian.
After Ji Fengtian opened it, he saw that the seven-leaf flower he had seen before was lying intact in the jade box, and the stone in his heart was also put down, because he was afraid that the seven-leaf flower would be damaged by Dongfang Ding, and even if he got it, it would be useless.
"Okay, you go back and prepare first, we'll wait for your good news. Ji Fengtian said.
"Then I'll leave first. Dongfang Ding bowed and walked outside.
This time, Dongfang Ding was completely subdued by Ji Fengtian, and there was no trace of resentment in his heart, because he knew that Ji Fengtian had given him face and given himself a chance to get rid of his infamy, and he had no reason to hate them again, after all, he was too ignorant. The moment he walked out of the hall, Dongfang Ding's mood changed, and he decided to be humble in the future.
Seeing that Dongfang Ding came out of the hall quickly, the two people outside were very curious, wondering what they said in the house, and what kind of request Ji Fengtian made that shameless boy, whether Dongfang Ding agreed or not.
"Your Majesty, let's go back first. Dongfang Ding said.
"Then let's go back to the palace first. Dongfang Ming felt that Dongfang Ding had changed a lot before he came, but he didn't know where this change was, so he could only keep his doubts in his heart.
After Ji Fengtian and Ji Lingyun finished talking about their negotiations with Dongfang Ding, they hurriedly walked to the back. Can't wait to find out a few medicinal materials, Ji Fengtian looked at the horse chestnut flower, and his heart was also extremely hot, those spiritual cultivators could finally break through the innate nature. Although there is only one horse chestnut flower, it is enough for a hundred people to break through, and if you are lucky, you can have a few more.
Sitting on the ground, trying to calm his mood, until an hour later, Ji Fengtian regained the state of the ancient well, slowly stood up, and entered the elemental power into the fire gathering array, and the flames continued to climb towards the top of the Dan furnace, hot furnace, extract the essence, and divide the Dan in one go, at this time, Ji Fengtian's level in the pill was no less than Zhang Fang's. When Ji Fengtian was refining the first batch of Heaven Breaking Pills, he refined ten ordinary pills, and in the next few alchemy attempts, the best pills began to appear, until the end, all the ten pills in one furnace were the best.
Looking at the pill with a horizontal stripe in his hand, Ji Fengtian asked people to call a few talented martial artists and consummate cultivators, and instructed them to talk about the Heaven Breaking Pill and eat it, what made Ji Fengtian quite satisfied was that all the martial artists who took the Heaven Breaking Pill had all broken through into the innate realm, and in just one day, Ji Fengtian had added a hundred innate martial artists to the Ji family.
After learning the news, Ji Lingyun couldn't close his mouth with a smile. On the same day, he sent an ordinary innate powerhouse to quietly go to the Extremely Cold City and meet with Ji Yuanshan.
Looking at these innate powerhouses in front of him, Ji Fengtian muttered: "It seems that it is time for us to go out and walk around, this world has been peaceful for too long." ”
