Chapter 72 Shocking
After confirming that there was indeed no Qi Gathering Pill in this store, Qin Zhan did not continue to force it. It is estimated that the Qi Gathering Pill in Star City has been acquired by him, and he doesn't want to waste time looking for those smaller shops. Now that three days have passed, presumably the Long family of the Baoling Merchant House also has the answer, thinking of this, he immediately planned to go to the Treasure Ling Firm.
Just as he walked out of the VIP room and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a slightly familiar figure disappearing from the backyard.
"Tang Ying?"
Qin Zhan was a little puzzled, if he was not mistaken, that figure was one of the innate guards of Princess Ning Yue of the Holy Moon Country-Tang Ying! However, Tang Ying was supposed to protect Princess Ning Yue in the Holy Moon Country, how could he appear here?
Out of curiosity, Qin Zhan's divine sense was slightly released, and he immediately enveloped a radius of five hundred meters.
After Tang Ying entered the backyard, he came directly to a hidden courtyard. The outside of this courtyard is guarded within a radius of fifty meters to prevent outsiders from entering, and there are two secret outposts with eight layers of qi refining in two secret places, and the defense is not tight, even if it is a kendo master, it is difficult to sneak in quietly and silently in this sunny day.
After Tang Ying entered the courtyard, an old man with a ninth-level Qi refining cultivation was already waiting there.
Seeing this old man, Tang Ying first made sure that all the doors and windows were closed, and then he suppressed his voice slightly: "Lord Tang Yuan, the people are ready, and they will be led by His Royal Highness's personal maid Tang Yu personally." This time, there were a total of eight people, each of whom was not more than twenty years old, and they were all cultivators of the seventh level of qi refining, and the one with the highest strength had reached the peak of the seventh layer of qi refining. ”
A hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the ninth-layer Qi refining master who was called Tang Yuan, and he nodded: "Eight people...... Although it is a little less, the qualifications are indeed much better than the previous batch. What we want to cultivate is a large number of kendo masters in the realm of transforming gods, not those strong people who refine qi and cultivate, so the most important thing is talent. Speaking of this, Tang Yuan's tone paused slightly, and he sighed lightly: "What happened last time, it was really embarrassing for His Highness, and it was really the fault of our courtiers to make His Highness make such a big sacrifice, but fortunately, a kendo master named Qin Zhan appeared in the end, which helped us stabilize the overall situation, otherwise...... In the future, it will definitely become very troublesome to recruit people, and there will be certain problems in terms of finance......"
"Your Excellency, rest assured, Her Royal Highness understands the elders' distress in doing so. Our current strength is not yet mature, and we can't compete with those powerful forces on the continent at all, if we really show our true strength for the sake of the Holy Moon Country, it will undoubtedly be a declaration to the world, our Holy Moon Country has indeed obtained a spiritual vein, and the consequences will be unimaginable at that time......"
Tang Yuan nodded: "Due to the impact of this matter, almost all the people who have heard the news have now decided that the matter of the Holy Moon Country's acquisition of the spiritual vein is groundless, and we have finally successfully withdrawn from the sight of those large forces." Without the surveillances of those large forces, we would have to make all kinds of moves much easier, otherwise this move would have to be canceled for the sake of safety. It's also soon, as long as we are given another fifty years of steady development of the Holy Moon Country, then it will ...... Hmph!"
"My subordinates believe that our Holy Moon Country will definitely be able to become the fifth super empire in the continent after the Sky Empire!"
Tang Yuan showed a slight smile on his face: "As long as the spiritual veins are completely occupied, this is almost a foregone conclusion." After a while, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "By the way, can Qin Zhan absorb this person? This son is amazingly talented, he has already successfully become a second-layer powerhouse of the god transformation at such an age, if he is willing to serve our Holy Moon Country, I am afraid that in twenty or thirty years at most, our Holy Moon Country will have a legendary sword master in charge, and then there will be no need to walk on thin ice like this." ”
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has considered absorbing him into our Holy Moon Country...... It's just that this person has never been able to let go of his hatred for the Holy Xuanzong, and once he has achieved cultivation, he will inevitably be unable to help but kill the Holy Xuanzong and provoke a strong enemy like the Holy Xuanzong for us...... After all, the Holy Xuanzong is an ancient sect that has been inherited for 1,600 years, and the heritage is extremely profound, if he wins, it will be better, if he defeats our Holy Moon Country, he will definitely be implicated...... Therefore, Her Royal Highness the Princess has only stabilized him for the time being, and has no intention of taking this risk......"
Tang Yuan pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly: "Her Royal Highness the princess is not unreasonable, it is not unreasonable to think about it now, it is not easy to create this stable situation, it is reasonable to go all out to develop and strive to completely occupy the spiritual vein as soon as possible, it is indeed not appropriate to make any more extraneous branches!"
Tang Ying nodded: "Without further ado, please also ask the elders to prepare early." ”
"I've hired the mercenary group, and it's all underground mercenaries with little strength and strength, enough to help us clear the way. ”
"That's great, let's contact those mercenaries and get ready to go!"
Tang Yuan nodded.
...... Seeing that the two seemed to be about to go out, they would inevitably bump into them, Qin Zhan immediately put down an item he was playing with and walked out of this trading house. However, he still maintained a range of 500 meters, observing Tang Ying and Tang Yuan's every move.
On the surface, he walked leisurely around the streets, looking east and west, but his heart was definitely not as calm as his face.
"There is no wind in the air, it is really in the air, there is no wind in the air! I asked Princess Ning Yue and her party when I was out of the Hidden Dragon Sect before...... Whether or not there was a spiritual vein in their Holy Moon Royal Family, and what they said at the time was also reasonable...... Don't want to ......"
I have to say that the royal family of the Holy Moon Kingdom has indeed exhausted all means in order to cover up the news of the spiritual vein. According to Tang Yuan's tone, if he didn't show up in the end, I am afraid that he would fight to let all the Holy Moon Kingdom fall into the hands of King Zhenyuan and the major warlords, and they would not use their real strength, so as not to expose the spiritual vein!
If the country is gone, it can be created and restored, but if there is no spiritual vein, it will almost lose the capital that competes for the world.
Although Qin Zhan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart after being deceived by Princess Ning Yue, the two of them were originally in a trading relationship. She helped herself escape from the Celestial Star Country, and she helped her recover the Holy Moon Country, and after she was done, no one owed anyone!
Thinking of this, Qin Zhan calmed down the emotions in his heart a little, and immediately started to think: "Although this spiritual vein is owned by the Holy Moon Kingdom, it is not difficult to guess from Tang Yuan's words that they have not yet completely mastered this spiritual vein, that is to say, the other part of the spiritual vein does not belong to them yet...... Since it doesn't belong to them, I have every reason to occupy it!"
Although this reason was a bit far-fetched, Qin Zhan convinced himself in an instant, and he didn't even have this reason, as long as he had this strength, he would still find a way to convince himself to forcibly occupy that spiritual vein in the Holy Moon Country!
He is not a saint, not so great as to see a spiritual vein and not be moved!
A spirit sword can make those sword masters in the god realm fight for a head and break the bloodstream, let alone the spirit vein!
For the sake of the spiritual vein, a thousand-year-old sect like the Hidden Dragon Sect even gambled on the entire sect, and in the end lost all their money and was forced to close the mountain, from this point, it can be seen how terrifying the attraction of the spiritual vein is to all forces!
Thinking of this, Qin Zhan immediately said to the three maids who had been following him: "Several, I am very satisfied with the employment these days, now let's calculate the total time and talk about the price." ”
The three women were slightly stunned, and immediately understood that the other party planned to terminate the contract.
As soon as he said this, the three of them immediately became anxious, and the third sister in her twenties immediately showed a pitiful look: "Qin Gongzi, is it because we haven't done a good enough job these days, and you want to fire us?" If there are any shortcomings, please say it, we will change it, and we will definitely find a way to change it to the satisfaction of Gongzi." ”
"No, no, you're not at fault, it's just that I've been in Star City for about the same time, and I'm going to go back. That's it. ”
"This, Gongzi Qin will definitely have to be protected by guards when he goes back, why don't you invite our three sister......s?"
Qin Zhan naturally knew what the three of them had been wanting to follow him for, so he immediately shook his head and said, "No need, so be it!"
The three of them glanced at each other, thought for a moment, and said with a sincere face: "Young Master Qin, you are the most upright and good of all the employers we have encountered, not only did you not make things difficult for our three sisters in all aspects, but also took care of our difficulties as women in terms of details. Our three sisters are willing to follow Gongzi Qin and become Gongzi Qin's family guards, and I hope that Gongzi Qin will agree......"
Qin Zhan was a little speechless, they wanted to follow themselves, and they clearly wanted to follow the money on their bodies.
He wanted to tell their true purpose, but considering that the other party never seemed to have done it, and he had no evidence, he had to euphemistically: "What you see may not be true, I will return to Star City again, if you still insist at that time, I can consider accepting a few of you as family guards." Speaking of this, he directly took out a silver ticket of 100,000 taels: "For a total of four days, if each person has 10,000 taels a day, it will be 80,000 taels...... Well, the remaining 20,000 taels should be the little girl's reward. ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and seemed to have reached some kind of consensus in an instant, and after the eldest sister at the head took the silver ticket, she said, "Don't worry, Gongzi Qin, we will wait for your next arrival in Star City!"
Qin Zhan nodded, sensing that Tang Yuan and the others had already stepped out of the shroud of divine sense, he hurriedly followed, and at the same time found someone on the road to go to the Baoling Merchant House to pass on a word.
The matter of the spiritual veins of the Holy Moon Country was full of turmoil, and the credibility of what he said just now was extremely high! If he could really occupy an entire half of the spiritual veins, then it would be completely unnecessary to go to the Long family's spiritual acupoint to cultivate. Half a spirit vein is definitely countless times stronger than a spirit cave!
