Duanjun Wang's face changed: "Tianhuo, if this king can afford to buy a spirit stone mine, what kind of cultivation trade is he still engaged in, can't he just open the mine directly?"

Tianhuo said helplessly: "Lord Wang, don't worry, listen to me finish speaking." ”

King Duanjun said hatefully: "Tell me quickly, are you deliberately trying to provoke this king's anger?"

Tianhuo said: "There is a small county called Dangtu thousands of miles away from Jinling, where there is a spiritual stone tailings, most of the spiritual stone raw ore has been mined, and there are only some corner ores that are not easy to mine, which need to be mined by monks deep underground, so the original mine owner intends to sell this mine." ”

Duanjun Wang frowned and said, "Dangtu, is the territory of the tenth brother? There is indeed a spirit stone mine there, I heard that it has been mined for hundreds of years, and it has been stopped more than ten years ago, do you want me to buy an abandoned spirit stone mine?"

"I can't say that it is abandoned, I have dived into the mine on the way to Jinling to investigate, where because the mining pit is very deep for too long, ordinary people cannot go down to the mine to mine, and the monks are unwilling to risk their lives to go to mining, so it is abandoned, and the remaining number of spirit stone veins is not small, and it has a certain value. ”

"How many are left?"

"One and a half, so I call it Lingshi tailings. ”

"One and a half? It's too little, it's not cost-effective. Besides, I don't have any monk miners to mine!"

"Lord Wang, we don't want to buy a spirit stone mine, we want a spirit stone mine to cover up the existence of the teleportation array!"

Duanjun Wang still shook his head and said: "Brother Ten has always loved money like life, and no one wants to put that waste mine, but if I go to buy it, he will definitely knock me hard." ”

Tianhuo sighed and said: "I can't say that the Xuanji Sect will produce some more blood and come up with a set of exercises that can improve the cultivation qualifications, with the attention of the Ten Princes to cultivation, the prince can bargain fiercely, maybe he will take the tailings at a very cheap price." ”

King Duanjun shouted excitedly: "You have exercises to change your cultivation qualifications, why didn't you take it out before? Are you going to deceive this king?"

Tianhuo said weakly: "Lord Wang, although the Xuanji Sect has such an exercise, it is slow to take effect, and it takes years of cultivation to be effective, and it is not as useful as the Realm Breaking Pill for you now."

The situation of the Ten Princes is similar to yours, but it is different, he struggled until he was nine hundred and two years old before he was lucky enough to advance to the Yuan Infant Stage, and now he is over a thousand years old.

For him, the greatest desire is to improve the realm of the Yuan Infant Stage so that he can prolong his life, so he has the patience to improve his cultivation qualifications, but Lord Wang, you don't have this patience now. ”

Duanjun Wang thought for a moment and said, "Well, what you said makes sense, if you ask me to choose between the Yuan Infant Stage after hundreds of years of penance and the Yuan Infant Stage after fifty years, I will definitely choose the latter, so you will use the Realm Breaking Pill as a trading chip at the beginning."

At this time, take out the exercises to improve your cultivation qualifications, which can be regarded as your increasing bargaining chips, and by the way, persuade this king to also practice this set of exercises, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the tenth brother in the future. ”

Tianhuo nodded and said: "The prince is a thousand years younger than the tenth prince, this is the advantage, the prince will have enough time to calmly improve his cultivation qualifications in the future, but the tenth prince urgently needs this kind of exercise to prolong his yang life." ”

King Duanjun seemed to be greatly inspired: "Yes, I used to lament that I was too young, but according to you, being young is a kind of strength?"

Tianhuo said: "Yes, if the big situation does not change, in this battle for the heir where everyone has an upper limit, it is often the latecomer who has the advantage. ”

King Duanjun savored these words, raised his head for a long time and said: "This king was moved by you, I will go to talk to Brother Ten tomorrow, are there any other powerful negotiation conditions?"

Tianhuo smiled and said: "About ten days ago, there was a drought in the abandoned mine of Dangtu, two monks left behind in the mining area died and two were seriously injured, and the drought fish did not know where to go, this matter was not leaked, but the ten princes were quite angry and had the intention to give up the waste mine here." ”

King Duanjun looked at Tianhuo suspiciously, "Ten days ago, was it when you were surveying the mining area?"

Tianhuo smiled: "Yes, when the students were surveying the mining area, they accidentally found a small cultivation corpse, and accidentally disturbed it, and as a result, it killed the ground, causing a lot of panic. ”

King Duanjun laughed: "Okay! Now this king and the tenth brother have more confidence in negotiating." Tianhuo, is there still any mining value for those tailings?"

"The mining value is not much, mainly there are no monks willing to do mining coolies, but you can set up a large spirit gathering array there, and you can slowly restore the spirit stone mine, but that is tens of thousands of years later, and it can only be left to future generations. ”

King Duanjun said with some regret: "It can only be like this, in what name is it more appropriate for me to buy it?"

Tianhuo said: "There are good earth fire resources there, the prince can say that he can buy them to prepare for the opening of the tool workshop and the alchemy workshop, don't mention the matter of abandoning the spirit stone mine, so it is better to bargain." ”

Duanjun Wang smiled and said, "Well, that's how this matter is done." Tianhuo, this king and you are very close to each other, since you call yourself a student, you might as well recognize this king as a master. ”

Tianhuo's head shook like a rattle: "Lord, thank you for your love, Tianhuo already has a master, one day is a master and a father for life, how can you recognize another master." ”

King Duanjun smiled and said: "Your master is so strict, how many people want to think that this king is a master or a father-in-law, but you refuse such a good opportunity." Okay, I'll take another step, you can call me a teacher in the future, don't always look like the prince and the prince are angry with me. ”

In traditional Chinese culture, there is a saying that "the master of heaven and earth is a teacher", there is a certain difference between the master and the teacher, the teacher generally refers to the elders who impart knowledge and skills, and the master is the elder who has guidance, guardianship and inheritance, and the relationship between the two is different.

Ordinary people have only one master in their life, but they can have many teachers, but in the end they can only inherit the mantle of their masters, but the relationship between ordinary teachers and students is also an intimate relationship.

Through getting along with each other today, Duanjun Wang decided that Tianhuo was a genius and a key figure in his future achievements, so he wanted to establish a more intimate relationship with him, and he was afraid that Tianhuo would be arrogant and unwilling to give in, so he started with the master-apprentice relationship and preemptively confirmed the relationship with Tianhuo.

Tianhuo is not good enough to refuse the kindness of King Duanjun and said: "In this case, the teacher is above, please accept the student Tianhuo's worship." ”

Tianhuo bowed to the end, and King Duanjun hurriedly stepped forward to support Tianhuo and said: "Tianhuo, since we have the status of master and apprentice, we will come to my house more often in the future. ”

Tianhuo smiled and said, "What kind of gift is the teacher going to give me?"

Duanjun Wang said: "Don't you want to open a Xuanji branch in Yuhua Lane? This king happens to have a ready-made antique jade shop there, so I just gave it to you, you have a place to stay in Jinling, and you can start to transform it into a Xuanji branch as soon as possible." ”

Tianhuo smiled: "Thank you for your care, but wouldn't it be a pity to close the good store like this?"

King Duanjun waved his hand and said: "The income of that shop is average, I have the intention to let him change careers, but there has been no suitable project, and now I even transfer the shopkeeper in the store to you, so that you can also solve the problem of manpower shortage, as long as you don't suspect that it is deliberately planted for the teacher." ”

Tianhuo said: "There is a group of veterans who are familiar with the situation in the capital to run the store, and the students can't ask for it, how can they doubt the teacher's motives? ”

King Duanjun glanced at Tianhuo, looked into the distance and sighed, "Tianhuo, have you heard a lot of bad things about the teacher outside, that's why you have such a saying." ”

Tianhuo smiled but said nothing.

King Duanjun continued: "Old Nineteen, greedy dog, I have heard such things myself, so don't cover it up for your teacher." Half of the reason why my reputation is so bad is because my brothers suppress me and deliberately slander me, and the other half is because I am really greedy.

Why am I so greedy, born in the royal family, who has not coveted that position, I was born late, and the strength of my mother's family is not strong, I want to compete with my brothers for the world, the means are not ruthless, the appetite is not big, I will only be swallowed by them, and there will be no chance to turn over.

I also want to be more generous and give them some benefits, but I don't have enough resources and talents in my hands, so there is no other way than to open up sources and reduce expenditures, yes, this is what they call squeezing.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the most difficult and bitter son in the world must be the son of the Yellow Emperor, I am unfortunately one of them, I have been struggling for 50 years, and I met the Xuanji faction and you to let me see a glimmer of hope.

Tianhuo, there are not many people who can be trusted by the teacher, and there are not many people who can help me, please be sure to help the teacher more in the future!"

Tianhuo hurriedly said: "Teacher, don't be like this, since Tianhuo can recognize you as a teacher, he will naturally serve you wholeheartedly, please rest assured." ”

Duanjun Wang was a little emotional, his eyes flushed and said: "Okay, with your words, as a teacher, I will try to be a generous and benevolent person, and I can't let my students bear the stigma with me."

Okay, it's not too early, Tianhuo might as well stay for lunch, there are still some things to discuss with you for the teacher, I don't know if it's convenient. ”

Tianhuo said: "The student is convenient, but the student's two disciples and the coachman are still waiting outside. ”

King Duanjun said impatiently: "Let Song Neng arrange for them to have dinner in the mansion, and the two of us will have a good chat at noon, you can always make the teacher feel happy and bright." ”

Tianhuo and his party went back after lunch at the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion, and Tianhuo was very satisfied with the harvest of this trip to the Prince's Mansion, and everything went smoothly as originally planned.

Song Neng returned to the study after sending Tianhuo and the others away, and saw that Duanjun Wang was looking at the sky outside the window in a daze, and asked softly: "Lord Wang, what do you think of this Tianhuo?"

King Duanjun said in a deep voice: "This son is definitely not a thing in the pool, he has such a bearing and wisdom at the age of sixteen, he is definitely a pillar of the country in the future, if this king can get his help, there is some hope for that position in the imperial city."

His master Xuanjizi must also be very human, and the person who can teach such an apprentice should be extremely extraordinary himself, and we must continue to strengthen cooperation and communication with the Xuanji faction.

In the future, you will be mainly responsible for the liaison between the royal palace and the Xuanji faction, and give the Xuanji faction as much help and cooperation as possible within your authority.

Also, send the title deed and house deed of the shop in Yuhua Lane to Tianhuo as soon as possible. I'm tired, go and rest for a while, you can go with your business. ”

Song Nengying stepped down, he was happy to see the palace and the Xuanji faction strengthen cooperation, only if the king of Duanjun can ascend to a higher position, he will have a better future.
