After calming down his shock and excitement, Taoist Tianwu asked Zhang Xiaozu with hope: "How much did you take?"
He desperately wanted it, but he was afraid that Zhang Xiaopeng wouldn't take much and would lose it if he gave it to them. How could he be so embarrassed to ask for it?
This thing is different from holy blood. Only one drop of holy blood can be used for a lifetime, but the more the better. It's good for them, and it's good for Zhang Xiaopeng. As a master, you can't steal the cultivation resources of your disciples. Otherwise, if word spreads, thousands of people will die.
"The blood was so powerful that it almost caused the space in my Sumeru Mustard Seed to collapse, so I didn't dare to take more. I only took a shallow bucket of it." Zhang Xiaozu replied regretfully.
After hearing the first half of Zhang Xiaozu's words, Taoist Tianwu and Butcher Zhang couldn't help showing disappointment on their faces. However, when they heard Zhang Xiaozu say that he had taken a shallow bucket, they suddenly turned from disappointment to excitement, and even his breathing became rapid. Some.
Taoist Tianwu beamed with joy and said with a smile: "Since you have taken so much, I will shamelessly ask for a bowl's worth."
"Master, please don't say that, it will hurt the disciples." Zhang Xiaozhu said in fear, "In the eyes of the disciples, these cultivation resources are all external things. It is gratifying to have them, but it is okay not to have them. They are not as important as one ten thousandth of family and friendship. .”
"It's very valuable that you can have such a state of mind. I hope you can keep it up and never forget your original intention no matter how high you reach in the future." Taoist Tianwu said happily.
"It is really not easy to be unmoved by external things at such a young age. If you can stick to your heart, you will have a promising future." Butcher Zhang also nodded in praise.
"Disciples must remember the teachings of master and seniors." Zhang Xiaozu responded respectfully.
Then Tianwu Daoist and Zhang Butcher each asked Zhang Xiaozu for a bowl of ancient corpse essence and blood. Zhang Xiaozu wanted to give them more, but they refused and told Zhang Xiaozu that the preciousness of essence and blood was not the powerful energy it contained. , but the law of power contained in it, so Zhang Xiaozhu was told not to take the blood essence as a pill to help practice, otherwise it would be a waste of natural resources, and asked him to slowly understand the law of power in it so that he can make good use of the blood essence.
Zhang Xiaozhu accepted the offer with an open mind and agreed.
Butcher Zhang returned to the bamboo chair and sat down. His eyes were slightly closed and his eyebrows were deeply furrowed. His right hand was resting on the table beside him. He tapped the bamboo table with his fingers, making a rhythmic clicking sound, as if he was thinking. whats the matter.
Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he had something to say, but after waiting for a long time, he did not speak. Taoist Tianwu was annoyed by the clicking sound of his fingers and said impatiently: "If you have something to do, just say it. If it's okay, don't bother with the case." Ji, I can’t stand your knocking like this.”
After hearing this, Butcher Zhang shook his head and sighed softly. He opened his slightly closed eyes and looked at Zhang Xiaozu, and asked, "I heard that you have a feud with the Zhennan Palace."
Zhang Xiaozhu was quite surprised. He didn't expect Butcher Zhang to ask this question suddenly, but without any hesitation, he responded decisively: "Yes."
He was expressing his attitude and clearly told Butcher Zhang that the feud could not be resolved.
"What's going on?" Taoist Tianwu asked with a frown. He didn't know this yet.
Zhang Xiaopou's breath became uncontrollably sharp, and two rays of hatred shot out from his eyes, and he replied in a deep voice: "Liujia Village was not massacred by big-toothed dogs, but by the red-armored cavalry led by Su Yang, the eldest son of Zhennan Palace. Slaughtered.”
Snapped!
Tianwu Taoist heard this and Lei Lei was furious. He smashed the table with his palm and cursed: "Beasts, you have no conscience!" Then he asked with wide eyes angrily: "Why did he lead his troops to massacre the village?"
"In order to train his red-armored cavalry, he said that the cavalry would go out and not return to camp without blood, so he frantically sacrificed swords to the people of Liujia Village." Zhang Xiaopeng said with a sad face.
"All deaths are unavoidable. Only by destroying their souls can we comfort the innocent souls!" Taoist Tianwu said murderously. After saying this, his knife-like eyes swished at Butcher Zhang and asked with a sneer: "Old guy, Do you want to make peace?"
Butcher Zhang shook his head and said: "Su Yang deserves death. There is no doubt about this. I won't defend him even a word, and I can even kill him with my own hands. I just want to ask for mercy from the old prince."
Although it is the son's fault for not teaching his father, Su Yang's crime is Su Hanju's crime, but I can guarantee with the head on my neck that the old prince must not have known about Su Yang's evil deeds, otherwise with his temper, Su Yang would have been righteously killed.
Su Hanju has lived his whole life in righteousness, and his life is not easy. He has been standing tall all his life, and I want him to be able to stand tall and enter the coffin. He only has a few years left to live, ranging from three years to five years. "
"I'm sorry that I can't agree." Zhang Xiaozhu refused Zhang Tufu's request in a non-negotiable tone. "The blood feud cannot wait for a moment. I think I am somewhat generous, but I am not generous enough to worry about whether my enemy's father can enjoy his old age in peace." It is a state of consideration. If my enemy lives for a moment longer, my heart will not be at ease for a moment, so once I have enough strength, I will definitely destroy Su Yang and his red armored cavalry as soon as possible.
The only thing I can guarantee is that if the old prince does not stop me from taking revenge, I will not embarrass the old prince, but if the old prince tries to stop me, I will not show mercy! "
Zhang Xiaopou spoke like nails, leaving Butcher Zhang no room for persuasion or refutation.
"I understand." Butcher Zhang nodded.
He had the shamelessness to speak up about this matter, otherwise he would not have hesitated for so long while tapping the case, so after learning about Zhang Xiaozhu's determination to take revenge, he said nothing more. I began to think about how to move Su Hanju to a quiet place to spend his old age, out of sight and out of mind.
"Why wait any longer, I will take you to Baiyun City to destroy Su Yang." Taoist Tianwu said angrily.
"Thank you Master for your kindness, but I want to take revenge myself, otherwise it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my heart." Zhang Xiaozhu declined politely.
Becoming an enemy of the Zhennan Palace was an enmity with the Su Dynasty. If he was not careful, he would be irreversible and commit a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. He did not want to involve Sanqingguan.
"That's fine." Taoist Tianwu nodded, and then said: "When you start, call me, I will sweep the formation for you, so that some old guys won't get in the way."
Zhang Tufu ignored Taoist Tianwu's insinuations, looked at Zhang Xiaozu and said: "The relationship between me and the old prince is like the relationship between you and Niu Dawa, so if you want to hurt the old prince, I will definitely not agree. I will find a way to give you a favor. Find a quiet place to stay so that he can stay out of sight and out of mind. As for the grudge between you and Su Yang, I will not interfere."
"Thank you, senior, for your understanding of righteousness." Zhang Xiaozhu bowed his hands and thanked him, thinking that it would be a good idea to get the old prince away so that he wouldn't get in the way.
Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Zhang Xiaozu changed the subject and said, "Master, senior, I want to sell the soul-nurturing talisman in exchange for some cultivation resources. I don't know what price is more appropriate?"
"That depends on the function of the object." Butcher Zhang said.
Zhang Xiaozu took out two jade pendants, spread them out in the palm of his hand, blessed them with soul-nurturing talismans, gave one to Taoist Tianwu and Zhang Tufu, and said: "It is this kind of ordinary effect. With my current cultivation level in the third level of heaven, it should be The effect can last for a year.”
He had discussed this issue with Zhang Tufu. The effect should not be too strong, otherwise it would cause the sect or the powerful to covet him excessively and bring trouble to himself, so he decided that the effect should remain the same as the jade pendant he originally gave to Jin Zhihui and others. However, the efficacy time is extended.
"Old Taoist, what price do you think is more appropriate?" Zhang Butcher asked Taoist Tianwu after feeling it for a while.
Tianwu Taoist twirled his beard and pondered for a moment, then said: "It can be regarded as an expensive consumer product. Rich people can consume it every day, and those who can't afford it will not take risks, just like the delicacies in high-end restaurants are very important to ordinary people." The temptation of ordinary people is that they can only complain a little if they can't afford it. They won't burn down the restaurant just because they can't afford it, so I think I can set the price of fifty Yuanshi Golden Pills. The effect will remain like this and don't change, etc. When you have the strength to fight against the power of the stars alone, you can increase the effectiveness a little more."
"——" Zhang Xiaozu was startled by the price quoted by Taoist Tianwu. He stared and wondered if his ears heard it wrong.
He was lucky enough to have taken the Yuanshi Golden Pill. That day on the North Ten City Tower, in order to draw the talisman as quickly as possible to restore the power of the ghost eyes, Wan Qiuqing gave him two pills, saying that they were one of the best pills found in the Xue family's treasury. , only ten of them were found in the entire Xue family's treasury, which are marketable and priceless treasures. One of them appeared at the last Yancheng auction and was sold for one million taels of silver.
Fifty Yuanshi Golden Pills are worth fifty million taels, which means that Tianwu Taoist has set the price at fifty million taels per piece.
Zhang Xiaozu's eyelids jumped with fright. He felt that when Ruan Xinyuan and others came to ask about the price in two days, these two old people must be there to protect them. Otherwise, they would probably be beaten to death on the spot if they mentioned the price.
"Fifty pills is reasonable." But Butcher Zhang was not surprised at all after hearing this, and nodded in approval.
"Fifty-five million taels a piece, I'm afraid no one will want it, right?" Zhang Xiaozhu swallowed and said in shock.
"Haha, don't use worldly money to measure pills and other cultivation resources." Taoist Tianwu looked at Zhang Xiaopou's frightened look and explained to him with a smile: "Most of the pills and other cultivation resources are circulated among sects and gangs. Consumption, especially high-quality things, rarely flows into the secular market. In addition, gold and silver money are meaningless to practitioners, and it is easy for practitioners to get money if they want it, but good cultivation resources are not easy. Therefore, practitioners almost never exchange their cultivation resources for gold and silver, which results in good cultivation resources being sold at extremely high prices in the secular market."
"That's it." Zhang Xiaozu nodded understandingly.
Tianwu Daoist continued: "Of course, the price of fifty Yuanshi Golden Pills is not low. Well - it is equivalent to the normal revenue of half a year of large businesses such as Yangshen Temple and Piaomiao Palace."
He roughly defined the value of fifty Yuanshi Golden Pills in words that Zhang Xiaopou could easily understand, and then joked: "That is, if you earn one hundred taels of silver a year, I ask you to use fifty taels to buy one for the Qi family girl. A box of rouge and gouache, are you willing to part with it?"
