This person is Duan Hu, the outer sect deacon from Jiuyang sect. His status in the sect is different from Cao Feiliu and others. Those people are just outer sect disciples at best, and he is the outer sect deacon.
Although the outer sect deacons are also a type of people abandoned by the sect, they only give up on martial arts practice. They are also an important part of a sect. In such a large sect, there are thousands of disciples, and their food and clothing expenses are A lot of money is spent, and this is only the small part. The real big part is the resources for cultivation, elixirs, exercises, weapons, etc.
Although these sects talk about the secular world, these resources still have to be obtained from the secular world. Each sect will have its own industry in the secular world, and those who run these industries cannot naturally be from the sect. The disciples who have been vigorously cultivated are not energetic enough in practice and experience, and they are still distracted by their property. What is needed at this time is these outer sect deacons.
Those who can be delegated to become outer sect deacons are all talented people. As soon as Duan Hu returned to the Central Empire, he learned everything that Cao An had done. For a moment, his whole mind began to get excited. He keenly sensed opportunities in it. He was very aware of the behavior of these so-called famous families. .
Since it is upright, one must have a reputation for doing things. Only by being famous can one be confident. So that day, he privately released information about his friendship with Cao An to several top sects. Before and after this, he had already met two waves of guests, all of whom were representatives of top sects from the hinterland of the empire.
No one will doubt whether Duan Hu is telling the truth on this matter, because no one dares to lie about this matter. The anger of the top decent sect and the top magic sect, let alone a little Duan Hu, he Unable to bear it, not even the Jiuyang Gate behind Duan Hu could bear it.
"Luoxian Valley and Ziji Sect are here. These are the two top sects closest to Shang Gong Dao. What other sects have you contacted?" The woman walked out from behind the screen, wearing a black corset with gold trim. The robe has a beautiful appearance and smart eyes. It seems that she is not a peaceful master. When she appears, the whole space seems to come alive.
"We also contacted a Jingang Academy, but I suspect that the Jingang Academy has its own way. They arrived at Qingfeng County earlier than other sects, and they should be the first to meet us, but there is no news so far. .”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, doesn't that mean my pocket money is missing again?"
Duan Hu was slightly stunned, with a bitter look on his face, "Miss, don't be so cruel. The total price offered by these two sects is almost over one million yuan. For such a large amount of money, can you Don't be greedy. You are the eldest lady. After this matter is revealed, the sect will not be able to do anything to you, so they will definitely take action on me. Besides, this is not a small part-time job that I do. This is to be branded under the sect's banner. , without the sect standing behind me, how can I, a small deacon of the outer sect, dare to lead this line?"
"After the incident was over, the sect asked, "I can't hand over anything. Aren't I dead?"
Zong Mengli chuckled. She didn't know if it was an illusion. At this moment, Duan Hu even felt that the whole room became brighter.
"Don't worry, I won't trick you, I'm just teasing you."
Duan Hu's expression didn't soften much, "Miss, I'm serious. This money really cannot be touched. It's not a small amount. After it is handed over to the sect, how much do you want to use, Miss?" It’s not easy to say it in front of the sect master, but you must not move until the process is completed.”
Zong Mengli's face suddenly drooped, "Are you really unable to move? I also said that the treasure necklace I saw last time was pretty good, and the price was not high. It only cost more than one million yuan. Now you have it." I received it from here, plus a little bit of my own savings, and I can buy it according to the price when the time comes. It is a protective magic weapon that can withstand a full blow from the Yang Shen realm, and it also has peace of mind and enhanced energy. The role of perception.”
"Miss, it's useless for you to tell me this. I'm just a small external deacon. How much does the necklace cost? How much is the difference? If the difference is not much, I can temporarily supply you with part of it myself."
Zong Mengli clasped her fingers and said, "The price is 1.1 million Yuanjing, and there is still 1.1 million left."
Duan Hu staggered and almost fell to the ground, "Miss, are you not going to give me a single point?"
"No, I plan to bring the money to discuss the price. Even if I have to pay the price in advance, it is reasonable!!"
"Absolutely impossible!" Duan Hu directly rejected Zong Mengli's request. At this moment, the disciple outside the door came in. It turned out that it was someone from the Vajra Academy. Duan Hu put a smile on his face again, and the sign With that kind of smile and that natural face, the whole person is the standard template of a smiling tiger.
Hearing the sound outside the door, he hurriedly stood up and went to meet him. Zong Mengli also ducked behind the screen, and the small magic circle completely concealed his presence.
"Senior Brother Zhou, why are you here in person? You can just ask the junior brothers to make a trip for this kind of thing. Why do you have to come in person?"
Zhou Chengyun's face was not very good. When he started, he never thought about dealing with Duan Hu, a profiteer. These are well-known people in the industry. Everyone knows their nature very well. Many things can't be done without asking him. Ask him to do it, but there is one thing. The reason why Duan Hu is so famous in the industry and is still alive is because he is really reliable in doing things.
"Junior Brother Duan, I'm afraid you've made a lot of money in the past two days, right?"
Duan Hu chuckled, "How is it possible? This is all for my righteous cause. After all, if the treasures on Cao An's body fall into the hands of the demon sect, it will be absolutely detrimental to my righteous path. There will be no intact eggs in the nest. This I, Duan Hu, still understand this, Senior Brother Zhou, please take a seat quickly."
"There's no need to sit down. In one sentence, take it to the Vajra Academy. How much will it cost?"
"Hey, Senior Brother Zhou still has a problem with me, Duan Hu. I still know this righteousness. It's all for my righteous cause. I'll pay the original price of 600,000 Yuanjing. My relationship with that Young Hero Cao is irreversible. I plan to do it tomorrow. Go to Fengyun Inn in person to meet Brother Cao. I, Duan Hu, have nothing but loyalty. I don’t want anyone to harm my brother’s siblings. I plan to sell my noodles in the world and find a few powerful sects to support my brother. .”
Duan Hu spoke righteously and with a heroic face, but those who didn't know it thought he was really a righteous and wealthy person.
Zhou Chengyun didn't listen to his nonsense and extracted the element information, "Six hundred thousand yuan essence is too expensive."
"Yuanjing is valuable, but friendship is priceless, Senior Brother Zhou!"
"The people from the Thousand Fantasy Demon Sect have arrived. They may take action at any time. I will give you a price of five hundred thousand Yuanjing at most. Can you accept it? If so, our deal will be done. If not, then I will give you the price of King Kong." The academy could only end up with other reasons. Although the reputation was not good, firstly, it was lack of time. Secondly, it saved the sect a lot of expenses. Five hundred thousand yuan essence was enough to send out as many outer disciples as possible. Yue's cultivation resources." Zhou Chengyun looked at Duan Hu calmly, this was a price he could accept in his heart.
He doesn't have any more, and he won't give even a drop more. On the other hand, Zhou Chengyun acts more selfishly. He only does what he thinks is feasible, so he doesn't ask how much others bid, and he doesn't care whether he pays a high price. After the matter is over, he will not care about other people's words. In a certain respect, this is similar to some of Cao An's characteristics.
"Okay! Senior Brother Zhou is quick to speak quickly. In this case, when I go to see my brother Cao tomorrow, I will bring the name of Jingangyuan with me. It is better to follow the right path of our empire. When one side is in trouble, all sides can help. In my case, How can we tolerate the tyranny of their demon sect on the territory of the righteous way?"
Knowing that it was done, Zhou Chengyun took off a storage bag from his waist and threw it directly on the table.
"Farewell!"
"I'll see off Senior Brother Zhou."
"No need!"
"Senior Brother Zhou, please go slowly, Senior Brother Zhou won't give it away." Duan Hu raised his head and shouted a few words toward the door, but he took the Yuan Jing in his hand without any delay, opened the storage bag, and with the power of his soul, When you scan it, you will know that there are half a million drops of Yuan Essence, not one drop is too much, and it also comes with a storage bag. Although the space is a bit small, it is still worth dozens of drops of Yuan Essence.
Zong Mengli walked out with a bit of resentment in her eyes. She stepped forward and took Duan Hu's arm, "Senior Brother Duan, is it really not possible?"
This look on the verge of tears made people unable to bear to refuse. Duan Hu's determination was almost shaken. In the end, his obsession with money made him wake up. He said with a serious look on his face, "Miss, there may be other things that can be done." We can discuss it, but this matter is absolutely not allowed. This is no longer a small amount of money, it is almost as much as the annual output of a small industry."
"This matter is absolutely non-negotiable."
Seeing that he couldn't succeed, Zong Mengli let go of Duan Hu's arm and said with a straight face, "When you go to Fengyun Inn to find Cao An tomorrow, remember to take me with you. I'm very curious about this person and want to go see him." Look, by the way, is there really no way for him to win over? It would also be a good thing if he could enter our Jiuyang Sect."
Hearing these words, Duan Hu's expression immediately changed, "Oh, my eldest lady, how dare you think of such a thing? Cao An is just a hot potato now, and all his treasures have not been divided up." At this time, who dares to extend an olive branch to him? This is an act that will burn one's body."
"You dare to drag him into Jiuyang Clan today, and tomorrow his matter will be Jiuyang Clan's business. At that time, if you still want to ask these people to take action, then it is not others who give us Yuanjing, but us who give them Yuanjing. And the price will definitely be several times higher than it is now. Although Jiuyangmen still has some foundation, it cannot withstand such trouble. You must not have such an idea, let alone let it slip tomorrow."
Zong Mengli came back to her senses and nodded solemnly, "I understand, it's a pity..."
