"In the exam next week, it will be the first time that I meet Master Meng. I will ask for more advice from Master Meng in the future."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. I should ask my seniors for advice."
After Zhou Shengkao and Meng Zhang exchanged pleasantries and talked some useless nonsense, Zhou Shengkao got down to business.
"We all know the purpose of Master Meng's visit. The war with the Zhao family is about to begin, and we need to find a middleman."
"With Uncle Shan's character, he will never get involved in your affairs."
"However, I always like to watch the excitement. Now that I have nothing to do, I can take a walk."
Looking at Meng Zhang's doubtful eyes, Zhou Shengkao continued without any displeasure: "Don't worry. I am just a young Qi refining monk, but for the sake of Uncle Shan, in this three-acre area On the ground, even the foundation-building monks are trying to sell me some face."
"As long as I come forward in person, I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I can guarantee fairness and Master Meng will not be bullied."
Zhou Shengkao talked for a while, and Meng Zhang finally understood what he meant.
Elder Shan Ying is an elder of the Shuangfeng Valley Foundation Establishment Stage, and his status is not suitable for getting involved in this kind of thing. But as his close nephew, Zhou Shengkao could come forward and act as a witness for the Taiyi Sect in this battle.
Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, and Zhou Shengkao will not help for no reason. He offered his appearance fee, four thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
A newly formed first-level spiritual vein is generally sold for only three to five thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
A newly formed spiritual vein slowly cultivates the spiritual field and works hard, and it will take at least ten or eight years to recover the original investment.
The price offered by the other party for four thousand low-grade spiritual stones was not cheap at all.
Meng Zhang was secretly glad that although the other party was well-informed, he did not know that this spiritual vein was not newly formed, but a spiritual vein that had just risen from the ground and had been formed for a long time.
Especially the news about the black oil spiritual soil produced in the spiritual eye. If Shan Ying knew about it, he might not care about his face and directly steal the spiritual veins.
Meng Zhang didn't feel angry because Zhou Shengkao's lion opened his mouth. Since the other party had offered a price, it meant that the other party wanted to make a deal. Since it can be traded, everything is easy to say.
Meng Zhang pretended to be in trouble and began to bargain with Zhou Shengkao.
Zhou Shengkao was not angry, but took on the posture of a businessman and started bargaining with Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang kept lying down and doing small things, pouring out all the bitterness in his belly, and finally got Zhou Shengkao to let go.
In the end, the two parties settled the deal for 3,600 low-grade spiritual stones.
Of course, Meng Zhang told Zhou Shengkao that he could not produce so many spiritual stones at once and needed time to slowly raise them.
Zhou Shengkao did not embarrass Meng Zhang and gave him a month's deadline.
Before getting the spirit stone, Zhou Shengkao could take this trip first. Anyway, a monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple, and Meng Zhang doesn't have the guts to default on his debt.
After the deal was negotiated, Meng Zhang took the initiative to leave. Before leaving, he tentatively asked, since he had already paid such a large amount of spiritual stones, could the battle with the Zhao family be cancelled? Yi Men possesses that spiritual vein.
Zhou Shengkao rejected Meng Zhang's proposal without hesitation.
Three thousand five hundred low-grade spiritual stones were his appearance fee as a witness, not the price to completely convince the Zhao family.
With his identity and position, he can have some leanings in this dispute, but at least he has to be decent in terms of face, and cannot completely fall to the Taiyi Sect.
After Meng Zhang heard this, he could only give up the idea of winning without fighting and left here.
After returning to Duoduo Grocery Store, Taiyimen's stronghold in Mingshafang City, Meng Zhang asked Li Xuan for details about Zhou Shengkao to see if he could trust him.
Li Xuan was well-informed and directly told the details of Zhou Shengkao.
The so-called Zhou Shengkao is indeed Shan Ying's nephew, and he is also Shan Ying's white glove for making money.
Don't think that the elders in the foundation building stage of Shuangfeng Valley are really immortals who don't eat the fireworks of the world. They also have a huge demand for spiritual stones.
However, after all, Shuangfenggu is a self-proclaimed and upright family, and its internal restraints are relatively strict.
It was inconvenient for Shan Ying to come forward on his own, so he asked Zhou Shengkao to come forward on his behalf. Even if something really went wrong, and my nephews were just messing around, and I didn't know anything about it, I could still just put it off.
Of course, Zhou Shengkao can still be trusted in this incident. Since he came forward on behalf of Shan Ying, other witnesses must not dare to publicly embarrass the Taiyi Sect.
After listening to Li Xuan's words, Meng Zhang was completely relieved.
Meng Zhang knew in his heart that Xu Chengxian of the Linshan faction had directed him to find Shan Ying, and he must know the specific situation. Moreover, the Zhao family was angered by Shuangfenggu back then, and Shan Ying was also one of the parties involved.
With Shan Ying's position, he can not only suppress the Zhao family that Shuang Fenggu dislikes, but also earn a fortune of spiritual stones for himself. It really kills two birds with one stone.
Meng Zhang was also secretly vigilant in his heart. Before his wings were full, he must not let Shuangfenggu feel bad about him.
It cost hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones to prepare a gift for Shan Ying, and another 3,500 low-grade spiritual stones had to be paid within a month. This was really a big burden.
Originally, Meng Zhang also asked Shi Weiming to find a suitable witness for him. Now that there is Zhou Shengkao, it seems that there is no need for it.
But what makes Meng Zhang a little depressed is that Shi Weiming is efficient enough this time and has actually found a suitable candidate.
This person is Gu Dashan, the nephew of Gu Tanghai, a famous monk in the foundation-building period among casual cultivators.
It is not easy to practice as a casual practitioner, and you have to face countless difficulties. It is even more difficult to build a foundation than to reach the sky.
Gu Tanghai's qualifications are not very good, but he still succeeded in building a foundation with great perseverance and some opportunities.
Gu Tanghai has prestige among casual cultivators and is regarded as a spiritual leader and role model by many cultivators.
After Gu Tanghai established the foundation, he did not forget his roots and took great care of the casual cultivators he knew.
Back then, Shuangfeng Valley had recruited Gu Tanghai and wanted him to be the guest elder of Shuangfeng Valley.
However, Gu Tanghai politely declined the solicitation, saying that he was still willing to be an idle cloud crane.
Gu Tanghai was a master of cultivation and was notoriously difficult to deal with among the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. The vassal forces under Shuangfenggu did not dare to provoke him easily.
Gu Dashan is over seventy years old and is only in the middle stage of Qi refining. However, relying on his uncle Gu Tanghai's reputation, he also made a name for himself in the world of cultivation.
Stepping forward to help others settle matters, vouching for others, making peace twice, making peace, etc. are all Gu Dashan's regular business.
This person has a good reputation and is very reliable in his work. Among his past clients, he has a good reputation and no one has a bad word to say about him.
As a witness of Taiyi Sect, he is worthy of trust.
