Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 954: Li Juren's Choice
It is said that everyone has stupid sleeves. Exactly with Tang Xiu at this moment. Mo Awu's reminder made him remember that they were all cultivators and they could still move very fast in the sea using their flying swords. Moreover, he could also refine some communication jade slips that would not be affected by any electromagnetic storm if it were to happen.
“You're right, Awen.” Tang Xiu nodded and then asked, “By the way, where is Long Zhengyu? Tell him to come. I have something to discuss with him. ”
“Practice, Boss!”
Jin Shi immediately stepped away after hearing that.
A few minutes later, Long Zhengyu was taken in by Jin Shi. The ex immediately said after he saw Tang Xiu, “Sister Tang, are we very close people?”
That question made Tang Xiu raise his eyebrows as he nodded and replied, “We; we do have a very good relationship. ”
“If so, then why can't you teach me the art of cultivation?” Asked Long Zhengyu. “I used to be like a frog watching the sky while sitting at the bottom of a well. I've never known that people like you exist in the world. Now that I know about it, I've imagined me like you, flying in the sky and possessing terrifying combat prowess. ”
Tang Xiu himself had long guessed Long Zhengyu's wish, so he had already hoped that he would ask for this. After thinking about it, he replied, “I'm sure you are also clear about what happened here, Zhengyu. Even though we have killed those two witches, the matter is far from over. It was likely that more experts from the Heaven Mage clan would soon arrive on this island. Facing such an enemy now, let's put aside the matter of teaching your cultivation art for now. I'll definitely teach you the art of cultivation and help you start the path of cultivation once we fully resolve the crisis brought by the Heavenly Witch Clan. ”
His response made Long Zhengyu startled and he immediately said, “No problem. I'll listen to you, Brother Tang. Also, I can't help you in battle, but tell me whatever I can do in some other aspect if you need my help. I will do my best to achieve it as long as it is still within my capabilities. ”
“I want you to take a step up from the construction project. It's best if you can finish it within half a month, “ Tang Xiu said. “I still have big plans to implement after the construction team on the island go.”
“Huge plan?” Long Zhengyu was confused and asked, “What's wrong?”
“Let's release the topic about it for now. I just need your guarantee whether you can get the job done within half a month, “ Tang Xiu said.
Long Zhengyu pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth before saying, “Completing the project within half a month does not matter if we work overtime.”
“Good.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “By the way, I asked you on the phone earlier to pass through Hong Kong and help me carry a pile of jade here. Did you bring them? ”
Long Zhengyu came out for a while and immediately said, “I brought some, but I heard from Hao Lei, General Manager of Grand Fortune Jewelry, that he has not collected enough jade.”
Tang Xiu took his handset and dialed Hao Lei's cell number.
“Halo, Boss.” Hao Lei's voice came from the phone, although his voice was somewhat interrupted.
“What is your current situation?” Tang Xiu asked with a heavy voice. “You haven't collected enough jade for me?”
“I should have been able to get enough, Boss, but I encountered some difficulties,” Hao Lei said with a bitter smile. “Some people also buy jade on a large scale, so the price keeps going up. Our Grand Fortune Jewelry has made a lot of money from the jade you previously gave me. But if we were only willing to buy raw jade at the moment, we would not make any profit at all. ”
“Do you know who other buyers are?” Ask Tang Xiu.
“Yes. I've sent some people to investigate. This is Li Juren from Hong Kong, ” Hao Lei replied.
Li Juren's?
Tang Xiu's brows furrowed and he looked confused. Li Juren was just an ordinary person; this man bought some pills from him to increase his life expectancy. What did he want to do by buying so many raw jade? After thinking about it but still not knowing it, Tang Xiu decided to call Li Juren directly after he ordered Hao Lei to rush over and buy raw jade regardless of the price.
Hongkong.
Li Juren was reading a stack of documents in his office. In front of him were two tall middle-aged men dressed in Chinese tunic clothes, each carrying a long sword and staring straight at him.
“Sayang..”.
After spending a long time reading, Li Juren put down the documents in her hands and looked up at the two middle-aged men. Forcing a smile, he spoke, “Two men, frankly, I really don't have the means to collect the raw jade you need in such a short period of time. After all, the amount you need is too much. Especially with the current situation where it was extremely rare in the market, which caused its price to soar. The current price has even reached higher than before. ”
Li Juren's eyes, however, fell back onto the documents on the table. Some of the content written on it makes it very cautious as it involves Grand Fortune Jewelry Hong Kong. It may not be known to others who run this business, but he is clear about it.
Grand Fortune Jewelry had been buying raw jade on a large scale for quite some time. She could tell that it was Tang Xiu who needed her the most. If he chose to compete with Tang Xiu to obtain raw jade at this moment, he was afraid that he would offend him. However, she would not be able to fulfill the agreement with the two people in front of her if she backed out of the battle to buy jade on the market with Grand Fortune Jewelry.
It's just a headache and a dilemma for him!
Li Juren rubbed his temple and was about to speak when his phone on the table suddenly rang. He swallowed back his words and his expression changed after he saw the name of the caller on his phone screen.
Tang Xiu called me now? His people should have investigated that I was the one who had bought a large amount of raw jade in the market, right ?!
When he thought up to this point, Li Juren immediately looked at the middle-aged man wearing a Chinese robe, saying, “Two men, can you give me some more time to think about it and find a solution? Also, I would like to invite you to dinner at Everlasting Feast Hall tonight; I will give my reply at that time. How about that? ”
The two middle-aged men exchanged glances and immediately nodded. After rejecting Li Juren's offer to send them away, they immediately left the office.
Li Juren then picked up the phone and spoke, “Halo, Tang Xiu.”
“Older Li, I need an explanation from you,” Tang Xiu said.
“I know what explanation you want from me, Tang Xiu.” Li Juren smiled bitterly and said, “I hope you don't take it as an offense because I didn't know in advance that your Grand Fortune Jewelry has bought raw jade. Two mysterious men came to me ten days ago. Their true identities are cultivators, but I still don't know about their origins. I made a deal with them to accept my grandson as their disciple and thus learn the art of cultivation in exchange for my help to buy them raw jade. They stood in front of me right before I picked up your phone, asking me to continue buying raw jade. ”
“You really don't know who they are and why they need to buy so many raw jade?” Ask Tang Xiu.
“I really don't know about it,” Li Juren confirmed.
Tang Xiu was silent for a while and said, Old “Li, I desperately need raw jade. I have to get enough jade in 15 days to carry out one of my main plans. Therefore, I hope you can stop the ongoing purchase for him. I'll also teach your family the art of cultivation as your compensation. ”
Li Juren's eyes sparkled as he could bring out another meaning from Tang Xiu's words. The previous two cultivators had only promised to accept his grandson as a disciple on behalf of. There was another request from them that his granddaughter be forbidden to impart cultivation arts to others. But Tang Xiu's words had no such meaning. He would impart cultivation arts to his Li Family, meaning that once his family obtained them, they had the right to decide who could learn them.
One person compared to the whole family!
It was easy for Li Juren to make a decision in an instant. Then, he said in a deep voice, “Tang Xiu, most of the raw jade I bought has already been handed over to the other party, but I still keep some of them in my warehouse. I will secretly send them to Manager Hao at Grand Fortune Jewelry later. Also, I will stop buying raw jade for at least half a month. ”
“If so, then thank you me, Old Li,” Tang Xiu said with a satisfied smile. “I'll visit Hong Kong after some time; I'd like to invite you for a drink to say thank you. ”
“This is nothing to talk about. We are friends, and previously I benefited a lot from you, ” Li Juren said with a small laugh.
The Island of the Nine Dragons.
Tang Xiu hung up the phone and looked at Mo Awu. “Call Xiaoxue. Tell him to deliver my message to Ji Chimei to delay his duty at Jingmen Island and rush to the Island of the Nine Dragons. My current strength is still weak and I might not be a match for Nascent Soul Stage experts should anyone come here. This place is our base; I need him to take command here. ”
“Affirmative!” Mo Awu replied with a nod.
When the next day came, Tang Guang and Tang An arrived at the Island of the Nine Dragons with Singluen under their protection, along with the petite woman and the five guardian elders of Singluen. After receiving it, Tang Xiu placed them in one of the newly built buildings on the island. However, to avoid problems, he did not tell them anything about the situation on the island and even asked them to stay in the assigned building cluster and not walk around the island at will.
On the third day, a group of 80 experts from the Eternal Feast Hall arrived. Under Tang Xiu's arrangements, they were scattered all over the island and on security duty. In order to prepare for the upcoming fight, Tang Xiu took the time to teach them many magic spells, although he saved himself from finding out how much they could achieve in such a short amount of time.
In addition, Tang Xiu also assigned a team of peripheral members to be stationed on 16 small barren islands within 200 nautical miles. They were responsible for monitoring the surrounding sea situation, immediately reporting to him if they saw any suspicious ships or people.
Time passed quickly and fourteen days passed in the blink of an eye. At the moment when the first sunlight rose from the East, Tang Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the palace, heard Long Zhengyu's cry to him.
