Chapter 43 Two conditions
King Duanjun smiled bitterly and said, "Little friend of Tianhuo, honesty is a virtue, but sometimes white lies are more beautiful. ”
Tianhuo smiled slightly and said, "If the prince can advance to the Yuan infant stage at the age of a hundred years, no one will dare to question the prince's cultivation qualifications." ”
King Duanjun stared at Tianhuo for a long time, confirming that he was not making fun of himself, and then said, "How many years can a normal monk advance to the Yuan Infant Stage?"
"In reality, most monks don't have the opportunity to cultivate to the Yuan Infant Stage, or because of insufficient cultivation resources, or because of bad luck, they didn't live to the point of promotion, so I have to add a premise to this question of the prince, that is, when the cultivation resources are sufficient.
A cultivator who has cultivation resources and mid-to-high cultivation qualifications can be promoted to the Yuan Infant Stage from 300 to 700 years, and the probability of advancing to the Yuan Infant Stage after 800 years will drop significantly. ”
"Then are there any monks who have advanced to the Yuan Infant Stage under three hundred years, and what is the record of the fastest advance to the Yuan Infant Stage?"
"Many genius Terran monks will advance around the age of 100, as for the record of the fastest promotion to the Yuan Infant Period, there are many legends, according to legend, some monks are born with the Yuan Infant Stage cultivation, because there is no official evidence, it is not enough to be accepted.
In terms of monks within 10,000 years, the monk with the fastest promotion speed did not contact the Tao of cultivation before the age of twenty-two, and after being ignited one day, he even broke the six realms of Tuomai, Ronghai, Qi Lian, Foundation Building, Jindan, and Yuanying, which was called a miracle of the ages. ”
King Duanjun was fascinated when he heard this: "There are such powerful people in the cultivation realm, I really want to go and meet them!" The royal family is too fond of self-absorption, and the cultivation allusions outside are not heard in the imperial cultivation realm at all, and everyone is preaching and exaggerating the strength of the ancestors of the imperial family.
Tianhuo, tell me who this strange man is? If it is within 10,000 years, he should still be in the world. ”
Tianhuo said with a pious face: "Yes, this senior is the current dean of the Taiyi Academy of the Song Kingdom, as for his name, no one dares to mention it for a long time, and he will be honored as the dean." ”
King Duanjun couldn't help but pat his thigh and said: "No wonder my Great Song Dynasty is thriving, there is such a mythical person sitting in Jinling City, who dares to touch my Great Song Dynasty's tiger beard!"
Tianhuo, you just said that those geniuses also need a hundred years to advance to the Yuan Infant Stage, so isn't that the king also a genius kind of monk?"
Tianhuo didn't answer, just looked at Duanjun King with a smile, and Duanjun Wang's face turned red and said: "Okay, just assume that this king has lost his words, and if you don't ask this question, you don't have to answer."
This time, the Xuanji faction tried their best to give me two bottles of the best elixir, there must be a picture, say it generously, this king doesn't like mother-in-law and mother-in-law. ”
Tianhuo said: "The prince is really a believer, the students are deeply admired, and the contempt faction does have two things that he wants to ask the prince to help with." ”
King Duanjun said, "Come and listen, and see if this king can help you." ”
Tianhuo said: "First, I ask the prince to help the Xuanji faction establish the Jinling branch of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce, so that we have the opportunity to participate in the commercial competition in the capital, and second, I hope that the prince can help us choose a place where we can set up a small teleportation array." ”
After listening to Tianhuo's request, Duanjun Wang pondered for a moment, then stood up and paced in the study, Tianhuo did not urge Duanjun Wang, he knew that these two things were very difficult, I am afraid that Duanjun Wang would be difficult to make a decision for a while.
It was not until Song Neng removed the old tea of the two of them and brewed the new tea again that Duanjun Wang stopped and said in a deep voice: "These two things are not easy to handle, and you will really give me problems." ”
Tianhuo smiled and said: "If it is easy to do, the students will not ask the prince here, and if these two things are done, it will also be of great help to the prince's great cause." ”
Duanjun Wang was a little angry, slapped the table hard and said, "I also know that it will be very helpful to me, but these two things, each of them is not easy to do!"
The first thing I did was tantamount to grabbing food in the rice bowl of the royal brothers, and I didn't want to attract their attention so early and become the target of public criticism;
The second thing is even more difficult to do, the space spell is a Dao technique strictly controlled by the officials of various countries, and only the Protector Divine Cult has the qualifications and strength to set up a teleportation array.
I don't know how your Xuanji Sect obtained this Dao Technique, but once any private teleportation array is discovered by the Great Luo Sect, it will be destroyed immediately and the relevant personnel will be severely punished, which is really impossible!"
Tianhuo shook his head and said, "The prince is a little worried, would you like to listen to the students talk about the pros and cons in detail?"
King Duanjun really couldn't resist the temptation of these two things, but he had too many concerns, and he also hoped that he could find a reason to convince himself, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you say!"
Tianhuo asked, "How does the prince feel that his strength is among the many princes?"
King Duanjun hesitated for a moment and said, "Naturally, it is weaker, after all, many imperial brothers have been in business for more than a thousand years. ”
Tianhuo smiled and said, "With all due respect, Lord Wang, it's not weak, it should be the weakest." ”
Duanjun Wang looked at Tianhuo coldly, and did not reply, ready to listen to Tianhuo continue to speak, thinking: "Although this kid looks calm and capable, but after all, he is young and vigorous, talented and arrogant, and his level of speech is a little worse, if he says it unreasonable for a while, see how this king cleans him up!"
Tianhuo could naturally see Duanjun Wang's expression, and said unhurriedly: "Lord Wang, don't be angry, the student can't stand your board, you listen to what I say first, whether it makes sense." Has the prince noticed why the age gap between your imperial brothers is not small, but the current strength gap is not big?"
Duanjun Wang thought about it for a while, and sure enough, as Tianhuo said, the difference in strength between the top princes is indeed not big, and the difference between the eldest prince and the tenth prince is nearly a thousand years old, but the difference in strength is not far behind, and the strength of the two, three, four, and eight princes is even more comparable.
King Duanjun asked with some uncertainty: "Could it be that the brothers are tired and have lost their fighting spirit because they have been waiting for a long time, or is the strategy and ability of the brother in the back a cut above the brother in front?"
Tianhuo shook his head and said: "There is another possibility, the prince doesn't dare to say it, that is, there is an invisible hand behind his back that controls the strength of the princes, and it is not okay for any prince to develop after reaching a certain strength." ”
King Duanjun's eyes were shiny and said, "Tianhuo, do you mean that no one will come to suppress this king before this king reaches that strength standard?"
Tianhuo said: "It's not that no one has come to suppress the prince, it's just that he won't do it too much, because the hand behind him is happy to see that all the princes have a certain strength, but not too high, which can not only ensure the stability of the political situation, but also allow the current saint to have a few more available troops in his hands." ”
Duanjun Wang patted his thigh and said: "Excellent! I was really a fan of the authorities before, and I was always worried that if I rose too fast, I would be jealous of my father and suppressed by my brother, it seems that my father supported us to develop our strength, and when my strength was not enough, my father not only would not suppress me, but he might also condone me, and other brothers did not dare to rashly attack me." ”
Tianhuo said: "The situation is ninety percent like this, but the above is my speculation, if you want to confirm this matter, the prince might as well let me open the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce in Jinling City first, so that you can test the reactions of all parties." ”
King Duanjun nodded vigorously and said, "If it is really like what you said, I must use the fastest time to touch that strength line, and then I will have the qualifications to win the heir."
I've endured enough over the years, I might as well take a gamble, everyone has hope if I win the bet, and if I lose the bet, let's retire to the mountains and forests together! Tianhuo said, where are you going to open the Xuanji branch?"
Tianhuo said: "The student wants to open in Yuhua Lane, does the prince think it's okay?"
Duanjun Wang frowned slightly and said, "But Jinling's Xiuzhen trade is concentrated in Xuanwufang, which is the inner city, and can't it catch up with Yuhua Lane in the outer city?"
Tianhuo said: "Lord Wang, when we do cultivation trade in the capital, we should avoid common cultivation materials such as ordinary spirit stones, ordinary elixirs, standard magic weapons, and charms, because we have no advantage in these aspects, and forcing it to do it will only be crushed and driven away by other princes with the resource advantages in their hands!"
Duanjun Wang was curious: "What are our advantages?"
Tianhuo said with a smile: "High-grade elixir, elixir skin care, spiritual tea, spiritual food, and magic weapons for civilian use, all of which are a hundred times stronger than directly doing cultivation resource trade." ”
Duanjun Wang looked at Tianhuo and asked, "Did you come up with an idea on the spot, or did the Xuanji faction already plan it and send you to be a lobbyist?"
Tianhuo said: "The Xuanji faction has never fought unprepared battles, and the goods have long been developed, but they have not been sold in Yundian first, and such epoch-making products can only be sold in Jinling City before they can drive a sensation across the country." ”
"Okay, good!" Duanjun Wang said three times in a good voice: "Tianhuo, you can prepare for the Xuanji branch when you go back, I think this matter is promising, the only thing that worries me is that Yundian is so far away from Jinling, how do you organize the supply of goods?"
Tianhuo said: "When the students came, they brought a batch of samples, but the number is not much, it is estimated that it can only meet the short-term needs of the Jinling market, if the business of the branch is very good, a few of my senior brothers can come to Beijing to organize the local production of some goods, but some of them are particularly precious goods, such as pills, etc., then they can only be transported over long distances." ”
King Duanjun knocked on the table and said, "A batch of goods will have to travel for at least three months on the road, even if the Jindan period monks use storage bags to transport them, they will have to fly without sleep for fifteen days, which is obviously not good." ”
Tianhuo said: "This is also the reason why we want to build a small teleportation array, some precious goods are very small in size, if the teleportation array is precise enough, it can transmit some urgent and important small items, so that the efficiency of cargo circulation will be greatly improved." ”
King Duanjun refused again: "This king agrees with you to start a chamber of commerce, but it is too risky to set up a teleportation array without authorization, and this king can't hold back if something happens." ”
Tianhuo said helplessly: "If we set up the teleporter in an area outside Jinling City, and can cover up the spatial fluctuations of the teleportation array in a suitable way, will the danger be reduced a lot?"
King Duanjun's eyes lit up and said: "It is estimated that it is not very dangerous to leave Jinling thousands of miles away, and it is very likely to be discovered by the Da Luo faction if it gets closer." ”
Tianhuo frowned and said: "Thousands of miles away is nothing to a monk, a Jindan stage monk can fly in a few hours, it shouldn't delay too many things." ”
King Duanjun asked again, "How do you use to cover up the fluctuations of the teleportation array?" ”
"Yes, there is, but the price is relatively large, it depends on whether the prince has the courage to do so. ”
"Speak quickly!"
"We need to buy a spirit stone mine that is being mined!"
