"Minister Hua, do you want the scales of the gold-swallowing beast?"
Just because Su Xiaofan doesn't want Waijia, it doesn't mean he has to give away the things. He still prefers a fair deal.
Hualong is a shrewd person who knows everything right. He didn't talk nonsense at the moment and said directly: "Xiaofan, what do you want in exchange?"
"Materials for refining weapons, or objects that enhance spiritual awareness."
Su Xiaofan said: "My flying sword is not powerful enough. I need to add some materials to refine it. I have the gold essence. Does Minister Hua have any other materials?"
"Your flying sword is already a top-notch magic weapon."
Hua Long laughed bitterly when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's see. I'll let someone see the things in the warehouse that are suitable for weapon refining, and let them send them over to you for a look."
"Okay!" Su Xiaofan nodded.
After talking to his father, Su Xiaofan planned to make two preparations. One was to improve his cultivation level and find time to cultivate the Yang Shen technique in the near future to improve his cultivation level.
The second is to refine the flying sword again. Su Xiaofan can tell from his father's words that his flying sword is very powerful, and his offensive combat power is also one of the best among Yangshen cultivators.
However, cultivators in the later stage of Yang Shen, including those at the highest level of Saint level, all have their own methods and are not so easy to deal with. Su Xiaofan's flying sword seems to be just around the corner.
The relevant departments are very efficient in their work. Hualong made a call in the morning and a batch of stones were delivered to the mountain in the afternoon.
Because the mountain road was difficult to navigate, Hualong directly mobilized several transport helicopters to airlift the stones to the entrance of the restricted area.
Ordinary workers were unable to enter the restricted area, so Su Weixuan and his son simply started working together and spent two days repairing the tombs of several elders in the restricted area.
The relevant departments were not idle either, and organized a group of practitioners who were in the Qi training period to come over and clean up the burning objects in the entire restricted area.
Su Xiaofan also saw the strength of the country. This time, a total of 500 Qi-training practitioners came.
Although they have only made breakthroughs in recent years, there are already many cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi training. Perhaps after a while, some foundation-building cultivators will emerge from among them.
By the time they reach the foundation building stage, they have become the backbone of the country's combat force. Clearing out those restricted areas that do not have saint-level transcendence can be completed by the foundation building stage cultivators.
In fact, relevant departments have already begun to do this.
The foundation-building cultivators who had previously broken through in the Qinling restricted area, after a period of consolidation, have now begun to enter some small restricted areas to eliminate the extraordinary creatures in them.
Su Weixuan and his son did not offer any extra reward for conquering this Gu insect restricted area. After all, this restricted area was also where Xuan Rui lived, and they were just going home.
After repairing the tombs of their elders, Su Xiaofan's family came to stay at Lake Rousseau outside the mountain.
Apart from anything else, the scenery in Dayun Province is still extremely beautiful. Xuanrui plans to come and stay here every year for a while after the spiritual energy recovers.
On the third day of his stay at Lake Rousseau, Hualong came to Su Xiaofan's residence. This was the first time he showed up while he had been busy cleaning up the restricted area in the past few days.
"Minister Hua, have you brought something good?"
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the man following Hualong carrying a box.
The relevant departments of the Gold Swallowing Beast's scale armor have been obtained, and it's time for them to fulfill their promise.
"The three objects are all valuable. Xiaofan, with my authority, I can only let you pick one..."
Hualong said a little apologetically: "Actually, just because you helped to secure the restricted area, it doesn't matter if I give you all three, but you also know that we should not worry about the few but the equals. If we do this, many things will happen later. Quite troublesome.”
Regarding this transaction with Su Xiaofan, there are many different opinions within the relevant departments.
Some people appointed from above have a very high standard. They believe that as a Chinese, Su Xiaofan should contribute to the country. The act of trading the extraordinary scale armor with the country is a sign of low consciousness.
But as soon as that person raised this point of view, Hualong pushed him back.
Others were not trained by the country, and they have never used the country's resources since their cultivation. They have also helped relevant departments many times, which is already very valuable.
Besides, Su Xiaofan also needs resources to practice. If you can't exchange resources for the extraordinary people you kill, why should others help you?
Hualong was very angry and communicated directly with the superiors, transferring those who held this view out of the relevant departments.
Just considering that a large number of cultivators from sects and aristocratic families will return to the country later, and they will be asked to clear the restricted area, transactions will definitely have to be carried out.
Therefore, if Su Xiaofan gives too much, he will not be able to formulate transaction standards with the sect family.
"Okay, I can understand..."
After hearing Hualong's explanation, Su Xiaofan nodded. He knew that the gold-swallowing beast's scales were not a precious weapon refining material, but what the relevant departments came up with this time should be very good.
"Xiaofan, thank you very much!"
Hua Long didn't waste any time, took the box from the man behind him, put it on the table and opened it.
The box was not big, and there were only three items inside, which were not large in size. Hua Long first picked up a jade bottle on the right.
"Xiaofan, there is a Yang Yuan Dan inside!"
Hualong took the jade bottle in his hand and said: "Yang Yuan Dan is the pinnacle of the collaboration between the three alchemy masters in our department. It took countless elixirs to refine it, but only three were refined.
With your current cultivation level in the early stage of Yang Shen, if you take one, there is a high chance that your cultivation level can be raised to the peak of the early stage, and it may even reach the middle stage of Yang Shen..."
"This is good stuff."
Hearing Hualong's words, Su Weixuan's expression changed. To reach the third level of Yangshen, it would take a lot of time to practice before reaching the first level, and the places where you need to practice need to have sufficient spiritual energy.
The reason why Su Weixuan was able to advance to the late stage of Yangshen so quickly was because there was a miniature spiritual stone vein under the iceberg where he lived, and the spiritual energy was much more abundant than other places in the restricted area.
But even so, the ore vein was absorbed by Su Weixuan alone, and there was no need to dig it out anymore. This shows how much the cultivation of Yangshen cultivators consumes resources.
"Son, choose this Yang Yuan Dan." Su Weixuan suggested.
In Su Weixuan's view, the foundation of a cultivator lies in cultivation, and everything else is just external force. At critical moments, cultivation can save lives.
"Minister Hua, please introduce the other two objects."
Su Xiaofan shook his head noncommittally. Although he had the same idea as his father and believed that cultivation was very important, Su Xiaofan had a repair system and did not need to take pills to enhance his cultivation.
Su Xiaofan only needs to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to cultivate his skills, and he will soon be able to raise his cultivation level to the late stage of Yangshen. However, this pill is the least effective for him and is the first to be eliminated.
"This is a fire-attribute spirit stone, you should have noticed it."
Hualong picked up the second object and said, "This was found when the volcano erupted in Java. I don't know what the properties of the technique you practice are. I'll bring it to you to see."
We are still in the Age of Ending Dharma. Not to mention practitioners, the relevant departments have not yet reached a final conclusion on the system of cultivation. Each school relies on inheritance to practice.
However, different exercises and the qualifications of practitioners have attributes. If you find the exercises that match your qualifications, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
On the contrary, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Not only will your cultivation progress slowly, but your own foundation may also be damaged.
Now various sects and aristocratic families have noticed this, but they lack a method to test their qualifications, so they can only practice gropingly.
"I don't have fire attributes, so this spirit stone is of little use to me. Minister Hua, what are these three things?"
Although Su Xiaofan didn't know his qualification attributes, he probably wasn't fire-attributed.
Because Su Xiaofan felt very comfortable when he absorbed the ice attribute spirit stone before, but he didn't feel that way when he saw this spirit stone.
Regarding the three objects that Hualong took out, Su Xiaofan had actually used the system to look at them, and the one that concerned him the most was the third object.
“We can’t tell what this is specifically called.”
Hualong picked up the third object and said helplessly: "This thing is neither gold nor iron, nor stone nor wood, but if you carry it with you often, it can stabilize the soul and make it easier to enter deep concentration during practice. state……"
The thing in Hualong's hand is a yellowish object about twenty centimeters long. It looks a bit like a curved branch, but when he flicks it with his fingers, it makes a crisp sound like gold and iron. .
Hualong didn't know what it was, but Su Xiaofan knew it after using the system to see it.
This thing is called soul-nurturing wood by the system. It is not worn on the body as Hualong said, but is a kind of weapon refining material.
Throwing the soul-raising wood, the golden spirit, and his own flying sword into the refining pool, the system gave the answer that it could be refined.
"Minister Hua, where did this thing come from?"
The system only said that soul-raising wood was a weapon refining material, but it did not introduce the origin and function at all. Su Xiaofan could only get this information from Hualong.
Hualong really knew the origin of this thing, and said immediately: "There was a disciple from the ancient inheritance family in the relevant department before, and this is what he left behind."
When the relevant departments were established, they were very poor, with only two or three practitioners, and some people practicing traditional martial arts.
Under this situation, Hualong vigorously invited some declining sect families to join relevant departments.
People need to eat, and inheritance cannot be eaten, so there are really some descendants of sect families who have joined in.
This soul-nurturing tree is a disciple of an ancient sect, but as far as he is concerned, he is still in the middle stage of Qi training at the age of seventy or eighty.
After the relevant departments took care of themselves, this old disciple passed away and his sect also ended its inheritance, but the soul-nurturing tree was left behind.
Later, when the relevant departments were cleaning the warehouse and conducting appraisal and management of the warehouse items, they discovered the soul-nourishing wood and developed some functions of the soul-nourishing wood.
When Hualong was practicing, he had carried the soul-nurturing tree with him for a while, knowing that it would be of certain help to the cultivator's consciousness.
So this time when he heard Su Xiaofan asking for an object that could enhance his consciousness, Hualong had someone fetch the soul-nurturing wood.
"I want this wood."
Su Xiaofan finally made a decision, because among the three objects, only the soul-nurturing wood could improve his natal flying sword.
"Okay, if I receive anything good again, I'll keep it for you."
Hualong nodded, handed the soul-raising wood to Su Xiaofan, then closed the box and handed it to the man behind him.
"Minister Hua, we are going back today."
Su Xiaofan stayed here for a few days, originally waiting for things to be sent from the relevant departments. Now that the transaction is completed, there is no need to stay any longer.
Moreover, Su Xiaofan was very interested in the underground palace that his father talked about. If it was really a place full of spiritual energy, it might be used as a secret place for family practice.
It's not like Su Xiaofan hasn't thought about the "Pengxuan Cave" at the top of the Five Mountains. The spiritual energy there seems to be gradually recovering.
But as the Cave Heaven was once a paradise, Su Xiaofan always doubted that those old scumbags would leave any back-up in the Cave Heaven, so it was better to be on guard.
"Shall I ask the helicopter to take you back?" Hua Long invited him, so he was naturally responsible for the transportation problems of Su Xiaofan's family.
"Don't worry, I won't do that anymore, I'd better drive back."
Su Xiaofan shook his head. The helicopter was quite fast, but the riding experience was extremely poor.
Compared with a passenger plane, taking a helicopter is like riding a roller coaster. People with a weaker constitution will definitely spit out all the bitterness in one sitting.
Also, the feeling of going up and down in the air makes people feel very insecure. If Su Xiaofan hadn't been in a hurry, Su Xiaofan wouldn't have come here by helicopter.
"Then I'll send you a car and have someone take you back." Hualong naturally relied on Su Xiaofan's opinion.
"Minister Hua, don't bother me. I'll buy a car in the city and drive back."
Su Xiaofan's family of three treat driving as a trip. If they want a driver, they are making themselves uncomfortable.
Moreover, Su Xiaofan's car was abandoned in Yanjing. He really needed a car in Luochuan, so he couldn't bother Brother Gang to be his driver every time.
"Okay, then I'll have someone take you to the provincial capital, and our department will pay for the car!"
Hualong works very openly, mainly because he has a lot of authority. With the whole country's efforts to provide such a department, Minister Hua is very confident.
"Forget it, I'll just pay for it myself, and you can just follow me and help me go through the procedures."
Su Xiaofan didn't want to take advantage of this kind of advantage. A million dollars to buy a car was nothing, but what he owed was a personal favor.
"That's okay, I'll give you a surprise later."
Hualong nodded and didn't say much. He immediately arranged for his assistant and asked him to send Su Xiaofan's family to the provincial capital after some explanations.
"Son, why don't you want that Yang Yuan Dan?"
Sitting in the car going to the provincial capital, Su Weixuan sent a message to his son. In his opinion, his son's choice was definitely a loss.
"Dad, as long as I can absorb the energy of the stars, I can advance quickly. What is the use of Yang Yuan Dan?"
Su Xiaofan smiled bitterly. He had told everyone so many times about the importance of starry sky energy to him, but his father still forgot.
"I really forgot about this."
After hearing his son's words, Su Weixuan immediately understood that his son did not follow the ordinary path and was different from ordinary cultivators.
On the way, the assistant who was driving asked Su Xiaofan what model he wanted to buy.
Su Xiaofan bought a car this time for comfort. He decided to buy a business car. As for what kind of car, Su Xiaofan had no research.
But Su Xiaofan obviously didn't need to worry about this kind of thing.
After driving all the way to the provincial capital, the assistant did not take them to any 4S shop, but drove directly to a large auto repair shop.
In the words of the assistant, people who play with cars these days usually play with modified cars. From off-road vehicles to RVs, they can modify almost any car.
And this auto repair shop does not repair cars, it is specially used to modify cars.
Since many modified cars do not meet road standards, this factory has some connections. The assistant came here after a few calls.
"Mr. Su, you can choose any of the modified cars. Once you have chosen, we will negotiate with the factory for prices."
Although the assistant spoke politely, his actions were definitely arrogant.
I don’t know what he said to the owner of the factory. Anyway, when Su Xiaofan comes here, all the cars can be sold.
You know, most modified cars have owners, but no matter whose car it is, as long as they like it, it will be Su Xiaofan's car.
"No wonder the old saying goes that a man must not have power..."
Su Xiaofan naturally knew where his convenience came from. Without the guidance of someone from the relevant department, he might not even be able to get through the door of this auto repair shop.
Su Xiaofan was not polite. If it was convenient, why not use it? He immediately went into the factory and picked out the modified parking spaces.
Su Xiaofan didn't consider off-road vehicles. He already had one at home, and the chassis was too hard, making it uncomfortable for long distances.
Forget about the RV, it was quite comfortable, but it couldn't reach the speed, and it was like a snail crawling when I put the accelerator on, but Su Xiaofan rejected it.
The only ones left were business cars, and Su Xiaofan took a fancy to a black Daben business car.
The body of this car is neither big nor small. All the rear seats were removed and two aviation seats were installed, turning a seven-seater car into a four-seater car.
According to the person at the auto repair shop, the suspension of this car has also been modified, the tires and everything have been replaced, and the ride is very comfortable.
What made Su Xiaofan decide to take it on the spot was that the car was purchased and modified by an auto repair shop. It was intended to be sold for takeout after modification. Now it didn't even have a license plate.
The car cost more than 600,000 yuan, and the modification fee was also more than 600,000 yuan. Su Xiaofan didn't talk nonsense and just swiped his card to pick up the car. The speed of buying a car was about the same as buying a suit for his father.
Su Xiaofan also knew what Hualong's surprise was. After buying the car, someone sent two Beijing license plates and installed them directly in the factory.
According to the assistant, this license plate was just made from the vehicle management office and is guaranteed to be genuine.
In addition, the assistant gave Su Xiaofan a pass, telling him that as long as Su Xiaofan had the ability not to cause a car accident, he could drive the wrong way on the highway.
