Lonely Immortal

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen was not sure about this matter, and he could only take it one step at a time. He Yu would probably not let him run around. Sure enough, at dawn the next day, He Yu asked Zhang Zhiwen to see him. , and then took Zhang Zhiwen out.

Zhang Zhiwen still followed He Yu honestly, and He Yu led him to other courtyards. This was similar to what Zhang Zhiwen had judged. He Yu planned to negotiate with representatives of some big families. He Yu was quite shrewd. , he also specially selected Representatives of the Dan family came to negotiate. Most of these families also had interests entangled with the Zhao family. Of course, the alchemy families that He Yu found were not easy to deal with. Those alchemy families that were closer to the Zhao family, He Yu naturally could not deal with. Will get into trouble.

In addition, He Yu also found some other representatives of the big families in Feixian City. Anyway, He Yu was trying his best to find a way to get a more favorable situation for the He family, while Zhang Zhiwen just followed him without saying much and being honest. Yes, anyway, He Yu is mediating everything.

However, Zhang Zhiwen also discovered that not only He Yu, but also representatives of other big families would go around to discuss exchange meetings, hoping to get more benefits, and their so-called benefits were all about the allocation of resources.

To put it simply, with so many Feixian cities and so many big families, there is an exchange meeting every year on resource allocation. The so-called resources naturally include various materials, techniques, spiritual weapons, etc. Wait, and Zhang Zhiwen also clearly felt that the resources of major Feixian cities seemed to be getting less and less. After all, resources are always limited, and many of them are consumables. The less you use, the less you use. He Yu's whole After the visit, Zhang Zhiwen could see that even a big family like the He family was a little exhausted, because the He family was running around refining the materials for the Xuanling Pill. In addition, there were some other materials, but the point was Xuan Ling Dan, but all major families are competing for the materials of Xuan Ling Dan. Anyway, it is impossible for the He family to monopolize all the materials for refining Xuan Ling Dan. They can only mediate among them to obtain more resources.

However, during this process, Zhang Zhiwen discovered one thing, that is, all major families need Xuan Ling Dan, and the number of families that refine Xuan Ling Dan is not very large, that is the alchemy family, and the alchemy family wants to get enough If there are too many Xuanling Pills, then they have to use the Xuanling Pills they refined to engage in so-called competition to see which Xuanling Pill has better quality, and then other families will be willing to transfer resources to which one.

This is just like the weapon-refining family. Whichever family has a higher level of weapon-refining, then other major families will be relatively willing to transfer resources to this family. Of course, here must be the materials for weapon-refining, so the level of alchemy almost determines the final outcome. The core key to how much resources you get.

Throughout the whole day, Zhang Zhiwen had seen very clearly that He's overall alchemy level was only average. This level of alchemy was not due to cultivation. Even He Yu was not the best at alchemy. Instead, He Cuiying was the best at alchemy. He is the best at alchemy among the He family. An outstanding person, this is simply beyond Zhang Zhiwen's expectations, and the Xuanling Pill on He Cuiying is what He Yu has always shown off to others, saying that this Xuanling Pill is so good, this is His dog He Cuiying personally refined it, and so on.

Zhang Zhiwen now finally understands why He Yu took He Cuiying with him, and he also understands that He Yu not only became the great elder because of his good cultivation, but his son He Cuiying also played a very important role.

After running around for a whole day, He Yu seemed to be in a good mood, because in his opinion, the Xuanling Pill refined by He Cuiying was quite good, at least the major families gave him face, and Zhang Zhiwen had always been very low-key and did not say much, which also won him Appreciate it, he thinks Zhang Zhiwen's attitude is very good , neither arrogant nor impetuous, quite the character of the He family, but for Zhang Zhiwen, He Cuiying's Xuanling Pill was really just average. Of course, he didn't know what happened to Zhao's Xuanling Pill, but If Zhang Zhiwen were to refine it, it should be no worse than He Cuiying's.

However, Zhang Zhiwen has now figured out some things. Why is He Cuiying so obsessed with his Spirit Fruit? It turns out that this guy is a so-called alchemy genius, at least recognized by the He family. Therefore, all this seems to make sense. OK, but He Cuiying's methods are vicious. , even a small casual cultivator of the third level of Qi Refining was not spared, and this led to the disaster of death. As for his father He Yu, he was obviously not a good person. Like father, like son, but He Yu Just pretending to be sanctimonious, otherwise why would he become the great elder? Without some means, there is no way he can become the great elder. Without some means, it is impossible for him to come out to fight for resources. Without some means, it is impossible for him to reprimand Zhao Liang like last night, and make Zhao Liang and other Zhao family elders have to Lower your head, this method is not bad at all.

In this way, before dark, He Yu led Zhang Zhiwen back. This time, he led Zhang Zhiwen to the lobby. He found a chair and sat down casually. Then he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, drank it, and then Wiping the water stains from the corner of his mouth, he sighed and said, "Oh, it's all over."

It is rare for He Yu to show such a posture. Anyway, since Zhang Zhiwen met He Yu, He Yu gave him a scholar-like temperament. But now he has been busy for a day and negotiated with many people. It can be said that he is exhausted mentally and physically, so he is a bit eclectic. .

He Yu rested for a moment, looked at Zhang Zhiwen, and couldn't help showing a hint of appreciation. Zhang Zhiwen performed very well today. He always followed him honestly. He just watched more, listened more, thought more, and rarely spoke. He Yu was naturally satisfied, so he said: "Cui Ying, what do you think at the end of the day? Let me tell my father."

Zhang Zhiwen knew that this was He Yu's plan to test his so-called son. He Yu also had good intentions. In order to train his son, he spared no effort and personally took Zhang Zhiwen's hand with him so that Zhang Zhiwen, his so-called son, could observe and learn. Naturally, Zhang Zhiwen had to answer properly, as this matter could not be fooled.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen said: "Today's trip made me quite emotional."

"Oh, tell me." He Yu's eyes lit up slightly, obviously showing interest.

Zhang Zhiwen pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Father, the child made three discoveries today. First, Feixian City's resources are obviously becoming increasingly depleted, and the competition among the major families is becoming increasingly fierce."

After Zhang Zhiwen said this, he was not in a hurry to go on, but He Yu nodded, obviously agreeing with Zhang Zhiwen's view, and then motioned to Zhang Zhiwen to continue. Zhang Zhiwen then continued: "Second, the major families are fighting openly and secretly. , We naturally cannot trust their superficial promises. For example, some families who promised us today may regret it tomorrow. "

As soon as these words came out, He Yu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, Cui Ying, I didn't expect you to learn a lot smarter. I'm very pleased to be a father. Yes, the words of these people can't be trusted." , but do you know why my father wants to visit like this again today?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen pretended to think for a while, and then replied: "Father should express his attitude to them, and take the child to study by the way, and let them see the child's alchemy attainments, so that the big families can feel confident. To avoid making random guesses, this should also be the practice of other major families. As for regretting it, there is no other way. It depends on fate. "

Zhang Zhiwen's words made He Yu look at him with admiration again. He Yu obviously didn't expect Zhang Zhiwen to be so smart.

But Zhang Zhiwen really has to do this. He is not worried about He Yu's suspicion, because human nature is like this. Even if he knows that his son is not living up to expectations, he still feels that his son is still good. Once he shows a little bit, it must be his own. The son is definitely a genius or something, and He Yu must be the same.

Sure enough, He Yu was very happy and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I didn't expect that this kid will become much smarter this time. Yes, no matter what they think, we will do what needs to be done and leave it to them." I have a foundation, otherwise I would think that I, Mr. He, have no ability.”

Zhang Zhiwen didn't say anything, just stood quietly, and He Yu was even more satisfied with this, so he motioned for Zhang Zhiwen to continue talking.

Seeing that He Yu asked him to speak, Zhang Zhiwen continued: "Thirdly, I discovered that after all talk, the final decision on resource allocation depends on ability. If our He's elixir is excellent, then they will definitely allocate resources to Ours.”

Of course there is nothing wrong with what he said, and He Yu also agreed with it, but He Yu frowned slightly, and even sighed: "Oh, why don't you know this as a father? It's just that in the past few years, of our He family, you have been better at alchemy. The others are a bit hard to explain, and even the father is not very proficient in it. This alchemy is the foundation of my He family, but alchemy depends on talent..."

He Yu spoke for a long time during the phone call and was obviously very emotional. Zhang Zhiwen listened silently. He also understood that the big alchemy family may not be so comfortable. They have to improve their cultivation and alchemy skills. The art of alchemy is not that easy, and not everyone has the talent for alchemy. This is not something that spiritual roots can solve, but requires Long-term practice, a lot of resources, and quite good talent can cultivate a very good alchemist, and the same is true for the Zhao family. Despite the Zhao family's seemingly endless glory, in fact they are also anxious, and This kind of thing obviously cannot be rushed, but if the alchemy technique is not good enough, then there will be less resources, and it will be even more difficult in the future.

This is not limited to the alchemy family, but also to those who refine weapons, those who control beasts, those who make talismans... many major families are like this. Therefore, what affects the future of a big family is whether there are enough outstanding children in these areas, and enough It's not top-notch, and the cultivation level is just a barrier to ensure that the major families can occupy Feixian City and not be kicked out by force.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen generally understood these big families better, so he listened quietly to He Yu's long speech.

"Well, that's the case in general. This matter can't be rushed. And the key to the success of my participation in the exchange meeting this time, Mr. He, lies in you Cui Ying. Cui Ying, tell me, you Xuanling Is Dan considered good?”

He Yu finally attributed the key to the matter to He Cuiying. In fact, this is also true. If it is to go out to fight with others, then He Cuiying is nothing. But if it is an exchange meeting, then He Cuiying's opinion It seems to be more important than He Yu, because He Cuiying is the most outstanding alchemist in the He family.

But at this moment, He Cuiying has been replaced by Zhang Zhiwen, and Zhang Zhiwen just pondered for a moment and said: "Father, if you can trust me, I will make a few more furnaces of Xuanling Pill tonight, maybe I can have some." some unexpected results, Because the child has been studying the elixir these days and seems to have some different feelings, it is very likely that the Xuanling Pill refined by the child tonight will be better than the previous one. Although it may not be the best, it should be. It won’t be any worse.”

When He Yu heard this, he was slightly shaken. He stood up and hugged Zhang Zhiwen's shoulders. His eyes were filled with excitement and surprise as he said, "Is this true?!"
