Some people are "smart for a lifetime but confused for a moment", and that was the case with Tang Xiu at the moment. After Mo Awen's reminder, he realized that he and others were all ascetics, and even flying with swords on the sea was extremely fast. In addition, you can refine some jade slips for communication. Even if you encounter an electromagnetic storm, the communication problem will not be affected.
"You're right."
Tang Xiu nodded and continued, "Where is Long Zhengyu? Invite him over. I have something I need to talk to him about."
"yes!"
The golden lion on the side heard this and immediately strode away.
A few minutes later.
Long Zhengyu was brought here by the Golden Lion. When he saw Tang Xiu, he immediately said: "Brother Tang, are we our own people?"
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "We are one of our own, and we have a very good relationship."
Long Zhengyu said: "Since we are our own people, can you teach me how to practice? I used to sit in a well and look at the sky, and I didn't know there were people like you in the world. Now that I know, I want to fly into the sky and escape like you. , superior force."
Tang Xiu had already guessed what Long Zhengyu was thinking, and now what he said was already within Tang Xiu's expectation. After thinking for a while, he said: "Long Zhengyu, I believe you also know what is going on here. Although we have killed the two wizards, the problem has not been completely solved. Maybe at some point, the members of the Tianwu clan will The strong will come. In the face of a powerful enemy, I will put aside the things I taught you about cultivation for now. When we completely resolve the crisis brought by the Sky Witch Clan, I will definitely teach you a set of cultivation techniques, and Help you embark on the path of spiritual practice.”
When Long Zhengyu heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "No problem, I will listen to you, Brother Tang. In addition, I can't help you with force, but if you need it in other aspects, just tell me, as long as I can do it , I must go all out to do it.”
Tang Xiu said: "I need to speed up the progress of the renovation project. It is best to complete it within half a month. When all the construction teams on the island are evacuated, I still have big plans to implement."
Long Zhengyu was confused: "What big plan?"
Tang Xiu said: "Don't worry about these things for the time being. You only need to tell me whether it can be completely completed within half a month?"
Long Zhengyu thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "If you work overtime, there will be no problem in completing the project within half a month."
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "I told you on the phone before that when you pass by Hong Kong, you should bring a batch of jade for me. Have you brought them all?"
Long Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I brought some here, but Hao Lei, the person in charge of Dafu Jewelry, said that she has not collected the original number of jade stones yet."
Tang Xiu took out his cell phone and dialed Hao Lei's cell phone number.
"boss."
Hao Lei's worried voice came from the phone.
Tang Xiu asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation over there? The jade I need hasn't been collected yet?"
Hao Lei smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, we were supposed to get it all together, but something unexpected happened. Someone was also purchasing jade on a large scale, causing the price of jade to continue to rise. We, Dafu Jewelry, made a profit using the batch of jade you gave me, boss. A large amount, but as the price of jade rises, if we buy a lot at this time, the money we earn will be reinvested, which is equivalent to our work being in vain."
Tang Xiu asked: "Who is also purchasing jade on a large scale?"
Hao Lei said: "I sent someone to investigate, and it's Li Juli from Hong Kong."
Giant Li
Tang Xiu frowned, with a puzzled look in his eyes. Giant Li was just an ordinary person. Even the increase in his lifespan was due to the elixirs he bought from himself. Why was he buying so much jade? Unable to figure it out, Tang Xiu decided to call and ask directly, but before calling, he told Hao Lei to hurry up and buy jade, even if the price was higher, it didn't matter.
Hongkong.
Giant Li was in the office of the group company, looking at a stack of information in his hand. In front of him, two middle-aged men wearing Chinese tunic suits, each carrying a long sword, looked straight at him with their tall bodies.
"well!"
After a long time, Giant Li put down the pile of information in his hand, looked up at the two middle-aged men and said with a bitter smile: "You two, with all due respect, I really can't get the jade raw materials you need in a short time. After all, The quantity you need is too large. Moreover, because of the shortage of jade raw materials in the market, the price continues to soar, and now it has almost reached the critical point of the highest price period in the past."
The middle-aged man standing on the left shook his head and said: "Mr. Li, we don't care about the price, because money is nothing to us. We are in urgent need of a large amount of jade raw materials, and we hope you can help us. Lingsun has become our sect. As a registered disciple of the sect, there will also be a cultivator in your Li family in the future, and we have already expressed our sincerity."
Giant Li's eyes fell on the stack of documents on the table again. Some of the contents recorded above made him have to be cautious because they involved Dafu Jewelry in Hong Kong. Others don't know whose property Dafu Jewelry belongs to, but he knows it clearly.
now.
Dafu Jewelry is buying jade raw materials on a large scale, which must be urgently needed by Tang Xiu. If I competed with Tang Xiu for jade raw materials at this time, I might offend him. But if he didn't compete with Dafu Jewelry for jade raw materials on the market, he wouldn't be able to fulfill his agreement with the two people in front of him.
What a headache!
Giant Li rubbed his temples and was about to speak when the cell phone on the table suddenly rang. When he swallowed what he wanted to say and looked at the number on the caller ID, his expression suddenly changed.
Tang Xiu
He is calling himself now. It must be his people who have also investigated and found out that he is buying jade raw materials in the market on a large scale, right
Thinking of this, Giant Li immediately looked at the two middle-aged men in Chinese tunic suits and said: "You two, can you give me some more time to think of a solution? In this way, tonight, I will have a banquet at Baiyan Restaurant You two, I will definitely give you an answer when the time comes. How about that?"
The two middle-aged men looked at each other, and then they nodded. He refused Giant Li's offer and left the office directly.
"Hey, Tang Xiu."
After Giant Li answered the phone, he spoke.
Tang Xiu asked: "Mr. Li, I need an explanation from you."
Li Juju smiled bitterly and said: "Tang Xiu, I know what you asked me to explain. I hope you won't be offended by this matter, because I didn't know that your Dafu Jewelry was buying jade raw materials on a large scale. More than ten days ago, two people came to my place. A mysterious person, their true identity is a monk. As for their origin, I still don’t know. I made a deal with them, that is, they accepted my grandson as their disciple and obtained the cultivation method, and I needed Help them buy jade raw materials. Just before I answered your call, they were all standing in front of me, asking me for jade raw materials."
Tang Xiu asked: "You really don't know their identity? Don't you know what they need large-scale jade raw materials for?"
Giant Li said: "I really don't know."
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Li, I am in urgent need of jade raw materials. Within fifteen days, I must collect enough jade raw materials to implement a major plan of mine. Therefore, I hope you can give up and continue to buy. As compensation, I can teach you a Taoist cultivation technique of the Li family."
Giant Li's eyes lit up. He could hear the hidden meaning in Tang Xiu's words. The two ascetics before had only agreed to accept their grandsons as registered disciples, and even had a request to prohibit their grandsons from teaching the practice techniques to outsiders. But Tang Xiu's words did not mean this. He meant that he wanted to teach a Taoist cultivation technique to the Li family. Once the Li family gets it, whoever wants to practice will have the final say.
one person!
A family!
Giant Li made a decision in an instant and said in a deep voice: "Tang Xiu, most of the jade raw materials I purchased have been handed over to the other party, but a small part is still stored in my Li family warehouse. Later, I will Send someone to secretly send those jade raw materials to Mr. Hao of Dafu Jewelry. In addition, I have given up buying jade raw materials and will not make any purchases for at least half a month."
Tang Xiu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, thank you very much, Mr. Li. When I return to Hong Kong in a while, I will treat you to a drink to express my gratitude."
Giant Li smiled and said: "We are friends, and I have benefited a lot from you before. This is nothing."
Kowloon Island.
Tang Xiu hung up the phone, looked at Mo Awu and said, "Call Xiaoxue and ask her to tell Ji Jimei to give up on the Jingmen Island headquarters and rush to Kowloon Island. My current strength is still too low. If there really is a Nascent Soul, When the strong ones arrive, I'm afraid I won't be their match. This is our base camp, and I need her to come and take charge."
"yes!"
Moawu nodded and said.
the next day.
Tang Guang and Tang An protected Xinglun, the petite woman, and the five Xinglun guardian elders and came to Kowloon Island. Tang Xiu received them and placed them in one of the built building areas on the island. However, in order to avoid trouble, he did not report the situation on Kowloon Island, and even asked them to only move around in that small area and not to wander around the island.
The third day.
Groups of core experts arrived at Baiyan Restaurant, with a total of more than eighty people. Under Tang Xiu's arrangement, they were scattered throughout the island to take charge of security work. However, in order to prepare for the upcoming battle, he took advantage of this time to teach them many spells. As for how much they could control in a short period of time, Tang Xiu didn't know.
in addition.
Tang Xiu also sent a group of peripheral members of the Baiyan Restaurant and ordered them to be stationed on sixteen desert islands within two hundred nautical miles of the surrounding area. They were responsible for monitoring the situation in the surrounding sea areas. If any suspicious ships or people appeared, they would immediately report to them. report.
Time flies.
Fourteen days had passed in the blink of an eye. Just as the first ray of sunlight rose from the east in the morning, Tang Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the top of the palace practicing, heard Long Zhengyu's shouts below.
