In the northern section of Windless Canyon, more than a thousand miles away from Windless City, on a very majestic mountain, a castle with a dark red color, like a creeping monster that could rise up and kill people at any time, lay quietly there.
This is the Hu Family Fort, where the headquarters of the Hu Family, the strongest among the five major families in Windless Canyon, is located.
It was late at night, and the lights in the Hu Family Fort were sparse. Only a flower hall in the depths was brightly lit. The small flower hall was filled with the most powerful figures in the Hu family. Sitting in the middle was the current head of the Hu family. Tigers and rivers.
Hu Baichuan, who is tall and bearded, has a strong aura of elegance all over his body. He is like a well-educated scholar. There is no trace that he is the helmsman of a powerful spiritual family.
He held the teacup and drank the fragrant tea slowly, with a strong sense of grace in every move he made.
Compared with Hu Baichuan, the two tiger parents sitting next to him, Hu Bailin and Hu Baiyuan, are really like two tigers ready to go. The aura around them is domineering and fierce, and they seem to be hidden in their bodies. There are two volcanoes that may erupt at any time.
"Qianshan, you have done a great job this time. That Mr. Xiaotian, his Millennium Pills have been appraised by the elders of our five families. They are all excellent... No, they are absolutely top-notch!" Hu Baichuan put down the tea cup, He smiled and nodded at Hu Qianshan: "Gengjie, he has a very good character. He actually gave us such a top-quality life-extending pill at the market price."
Hu Qianshan smiled "hehe", grabbed the tea cup next to him, and swallowed the tea leaves and the tea in one gulp.
"Dad, that Mr. Xiaotian is a cautious person, but young man, he has a good heart. You have already said that his thousand-year elixir is of the highest quality. If he puts it in Master Zhu's hands, it will not double in value." If the price is too high, then it’s really a hell in broad daylight!”
"What you are saying is, so, Mr. Xiaotian, our Hu family must work hard to make friends. At least, we can't be worse than the other families." Hu Baichuan tapped his fingers on the tea table next to him and said softly: "This I leave this matter to you, are you doing well?"
Hu Qianshan's eyes lit up slightly. He thought for a while and nodded slowly: "As for Mr. Xiaotian, I'm afraid I won't have anything to say to him. Although he is young, he is very thoughtful and has an abrupt intimacy. I’m afraid it might cause him to misunderstand.”
Without waiting for the clansman to ask, Hu Qianshan continued: "It's just that Mr. Xiaotian's brother Hu Dali and I hit it off at first sight. Hey, that tiger cub is very wild, but he is a straightforward person... Well, those who can drink from a jar and never push back are all straightforward people!"
Hu Baichuan grinned, and Hu Bailin and Hu Baiyuan laughed at the same time.
"Then, you are on the job of being the shipping director of our family... You have been running around outside these years. All year round, can you live in Hujiapu one day? This is not good. Many of my nephews and nephews below are still here. I don’t know, it’s not good that they have an elder like you.” Hu Baichuan tapped his fingers on the tea table and said softly: “You have made enough contributions over the years, so you can be the foreign affairs manager of our family for the time being!”
Hu Bailin and Hu Baiyuan remained silent, while the expressions of the clansmen sitting next to Hu Qianshan who were of the same generation as him changed slightly at the same time.
The foreign affairs manager of the Hu family is also in charge of shipping errands.
Hu Baichuan said that he sent Hu Qianshan to work as the shipping director of his family. In fact, he was promoted to a higher level and had more power in his hands.
The lifeblood of Wufeng Canyon is the extremely developed ocean trade. Shipping is not only rich in oil and water, but those who are qualified to know even know that Hu Qianshan, the shipping director, has in his hands the ears, eyes, eyes and spies of the Hu family stationed abroad. Hidden pile of dead space.
This is a good position with wealth and power.
Without waiting for the tribesmen present to think or say more, Hu Baichuan asked softly: "Is there any movement in Wufeng City?"
With a sneer, Hu Baichuan said softly: "If the Windless City is compared to a pond, even if there is no wind on weekdays, waves will rise three feet high. There are countless turtles, bastards, and shameless things hidden under the water... Xiao Mr. Tian, this big rock suddenly fell from the sky, it has to scare a few old guys, right?"
A majestic man sitting next to Hu Qianshan stood up and said in a loud voice: "Master Zhuan, I went to the alchemist guild early in the morning. I used a pot of blood soup made from the essence and blood of the human-faced python. The alchemists he is usually close to have made some plans."
This man explained everything that Master Zhu and all the alchemists discussed in the main hall of the alchemist guild one by one, without making any mistakes. He focused on Master Zhu’s use of the Black Sweet Pill. When Chu Tian went to take the exam, he even introduced the vicious effects of Black Sweet Pill to the Tiger family members present in detail.
"Master Hu, I thought he was just greedy for money and lust, but I didn't expect him to have such vicious thoughts?" Hu Baiyuan on the side sneered: "If this black sweet pill is used to plot against people, hehe... You are a serious person with a conscience. An alchemist, who would think about such a thing?"
Hu Bailin clenched his fists with both hands, and wisps of crimson fire spurted out from between his fingers, rising to a height of more than three feet.
"Damn things, these old guys, they colluded to make our Windless Canyon miserable, but the price of this elixir is getting higher and higher. If not..." Hu Bailin snorted coldly, gritting his teeth. "Quack" sound.
"If not, sometimes there are rare elixirs that are not available on the market, and if you have to order them from them... you really shouldn't be so spoiled by them." Hu Baichuan sighed heavily: "However, there is nothing we can do. The cost of purchasing large quantities of elixirs from them is not low. Having a skilled alchemist on your own territory is better than nothing."
Slowly stretching out his hands, the skin on Hu Baichuan's palm suddenly turned red and transparent, and faintly visible chains made of solid red runes were shuttled rapidly between his flesh and blood. The temperature in the flower hall rose sharply for no reason. , the tea in the tea cup started to boil "hissingly".
"Let's see, let Fuzi Zhu and the others take action to test the true quality of Mr. Xiaotian."
"Perhaps Mr. Xiaotian just stole a bottle of elixir from his master and came to Windless Canyon to live a happy life?"
"Anyway, let's take a look first. As long as Mr. Xiaotian can pass Master Juan's test, more than half of the resources we have wasted on Master Juan over the years can be allocated to Mr. Xiaotian."
"Qianshan and Nahu Dali are familiar with each other... It's good to know each other well. Is it easy to talk to acquaintances?"
"Qianshan, you and Hu Dali have a few more drinks these days. Find out more clearly. If the Millennium Pill is really refined by Mr. Xiaotian, then based on this Millennium Pill, his status should be higher than Master Zhu is getting taller."
