179. Chapter 177 The Golden Belt for Murder and Arson


Chapter 177 The Golden Belt of Murder and Arson

Tonight's banquet was attended by hundreds of people, and the entire fourth floor of the hotel was booked by people from the Linjiang Chamber of Commerce.

There were no ordinary people chatting and talking, and billionaires who were rarely seen in ordinary times were gathered together here.

And when they faced Ye Qingzhou, even if they were not groveling, they were still full of flattery. From time to time, someone would come over and propose a toast: "Mr. Ye, I'll drink this cup, you can do whatever you want."

Afterwards, they just said a few words, briefly introduced their identity, and then handed over their business cards. The whole process was very smooth.

Ye Qingzhou didn't like drinking. He was a master of swordsmanship in his previous life. After drinking, he would lose control of his sword.

And this habit has naturally been brought into this life.

In the face of other people's toasts, he also picked up the wine glass, politely took a sip and then put it down. No one with an open mind dared to make an argument about this. Instead, they all smiled happily and felt proud, feeling very proud. .

The so-called wine table culture is essentially a test of obedience from top to bottom.

As long as you are stronger than the opponent, then this trick will not fall on you, otherwise you will be seeking death.

Soon, Wan Shengjun brought Wan Jinglong to Ye Qingzhou.

Zheng Zhiguang quickly introduced Ye Qingzhou: "Mr. Ye, this is Mr. Wan of Junsheng Group. He is extraordinary. He is the first big entrepreneur in our Linjiang Chamber of Commerce to go out of Hunan Province and enter the national market. His business Do it big ”

Ye Qingzhou perked up when he heard he was a rich man: "Hello, Mr. Wan."

"Mr. Ye, you're welcome. Although I have made a little money, I am not as young and promising as Mr. Ye. I will have to rely on you to take care of me in the future."

Wan Shengjun has a very low profile. It is true that he is a rich man, but in today's era, geopolitical conflicts have intensified, the world situation has become more turbulent, and business has become increasingly difficult.

Therefore, no matter how much money you have, you must have the backing and backing of force, otherwise you will be a piece of fat in the eyes of others.

Later, Wan Jinglong, who was obviously five or six years older than Ye Qingzhou, had to treat Ye Qingzhou as a junior, and he regretted more and more that when he was in high school, he was just having fun and did not practice martial arts properly.

"Mr. Ye, this is a meeting gift. It's a small thought but not a sign of respect. I hope you can accept it."

Wan Shengjun will take a gift box from the bodyguard behind him and give it to Ye Qingzhou with both hands.

"This is?"

Ye Qingzhou opened it and found that the gift box contained three pieces of refined metal. The material was very strange and turned out to be translucent like glass.

When the people around him saw it, they took a deep breath and exclaimed in surprise.

"Tianchen Steel!"

"Mr. Wan is such a generous person!"

"I heard that Tianchen Steel is a high-grade rare commodity, costing three hundred thousand yuan per gram. These three pieces together weigh about four kilograms, right? Isn't it worth six hundred million?"

"Hiss~"

Many people were short of breath. You must know that not everyone in the Linjiang Chamber of Commerce is worth over 100 million, let alone 600 million in cash.

The box of Tianchen Steel in front of me weighs about two kilograms, and its value already exceeds the personal assets of most members of the chamber of commerce.

Ye Qingzhou naturally recognized the Tianchen Steel in the box. After all, the martial arts masters of Dongji Kingdom also had to take cultural classes, and they were not brainless fools who only knew how to fight and kill.

"Mr. Wan, as the saying goes, no reward will be given without merit, your gift is too precious."

"Mr. Ye, as the saying goes, swords are given to heroes. These Tianchen Steels in my hands are just a waste of resources. Only a martial artist like you, Mr. Ye, can exert its true effectiveness."

Obviously, Wan Shengjun had done his homework before coming. He knew that Ye Qingzhou was not only a promising martial artist, but also a master swordsmith.

Therefore, he did not directly spend money to buy a famous sword as a meeting gift. Instead, he specially used his connections to buy three pieces of Tianchen Steel.

Over the years, Wan Shengjun, who has been able to expand his real estate business, has understood a truth from a very early age, that is, when asking for help, don't give gifts in a fussy way, but in one step!

Now, he is spending 600 million to get Ye Qingzhou in one step!

Ye Qingzhou is also a cheerful person, so he smiled and said to Wan Shengjun: "When you are polite to others, you must ask for something. Mr. Wan, what do you want to ask for?"

If he could afford it, Ye Qingzhou wouldn't mind accepting Wan Shengjun's "bribe".

After all, the material Tianchen Steel is indeed extremely rare, even more precious than divine gold.

Wan Shengjun was overjoyed when he heard this: "I hope Mr. Ye can accept my son as his disciple. He has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, but unfortunately he has never been able to meet a famous teacher..."

Ye Qingzhou listened to Wan Shengjun's words and looked at Wan Jinglong casually. How could he not see that Wan Shengjun was talking nonsense?

Why I like martial arts is just an excuse.

If you really like martial arts, how can you be twenty-four or five years old and not even enter the professional level?

You must know that the Wan family is a wealthy family and it is impossible to lack cultivation resources.

To put it bluntly, I still can't bear the hardship of practicing martial arts. Even if I like him, it's just because Ye Gong is a good dragon.

After thinking about it, Ye Qingzhou said to Wan Shengjun: "Forget about being a true disciple. He can't practice my skills, but he can still be a registered disciple. Do you want to consider it?"

Wan Jinglong would definitely not be able to become Ye Qingzhou's true disciple. After all, he was really too good and Ye Qingzhou couldn't afford to lose this person.

But being a registered disciple is no problem. It is equivalent to Wan Shengjun paying Ye Qingzhou to be Wan Jinglong's protective umbrella. If anyone wants to touch Wan Jinglong, they have to think carefully.

Wan Shengjun agreed without hesitation: "Thank you very much, Mr. Ye, just register as a disciple."

Everyone around was dumbfounded by this scene. Wan Shengjun spent 600 million to buy his son the status of a "named disciple"?

It’s too easy for martial artists to make money!

In fact, not only were they emotional, but Ye Qingzhou was also deeply touched.

It is not difficult for a professional martial artist in Dongji Country to earn tens of millions if they work hard, but if they want to have a net worth of over 100 million, they have to work hard for more than ten years.

Don't think that it is easy for a professional martial artist to make money, just because they can save money. In fact, the training expenses of a martial artist are very high, which means that the more you earn, the more you spend.

But once you reach the master level, the situation is completely different. Similar to the industry's head effect, many people will rush to give you money.

For example, tonight, Ye Qingzhou did nothing but received all kinds of gifts.

The entire Ye Mansion is quite quiet.

In the master bedroom on the third floor, the light was soft and the room was spacious. Ye Qingzhou was sitting cross-legged, with three translucent metal blocks placed between his legs.

"The Tianchen steel sent by Wan Shengjun is indeed of extraordinary quality."

Ye Qingzhou's right hand gently placed on the metal block. When he touched it, Tianchen Steel showed a coldness, a coldness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, as if there was no trace of heat.

Tonight's Weiya Night Banquet, after Wan Shengjun arrived, many more people came one after another. In the end, more than 50% of the wealthy business families in Linjiang City sent people.

As for the martial arts family, except for Xu Yunxi and Xu Yuebing who came to congratulate them, no one else came over.

Obviously, because of Li Yaoping's death, they all had some opinions on Ye Qingzhou, or they simply did not want to offend the Junshan Society, so they did not send anyone over.

But it doesn't matter if they don't come, because basically everyone from the Linjiang Chamber of Commerce is here, and when people come, they naturally can't be empty-handed. Dongji Country has always paid attention to courtesy, so gift-giving is a must-have.

There are dozens of wealthy families, and the gifts Ye Qingzhou received alone amounted to over 100 million yuan, as well as many precious jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

But whether from the perspective of value or practicality, the Tianchen Steel given by Wan Shengjun was Ye Qingzhou's favorite among all the gifts.

According to other people present at the time, the value of these three pieces of Tianchen Steel exceeded 600 million. Even such high-grade treasures may not be able to be bought with money, and they are often firmly controlled by big forces. Only a very small amount will flow into the black market and then be sold at sky-high prices.

"This is really a good thing. It can be used to make a top-quality sword."

Ye Qingzhou stroked the surface of Tianchen Steel and couldn't help but sigh in his mind: "I received 100 million in gift money, the Tianchen Steel given by Wan Shengjun, and the mansion given to me by Lao Zheng. Since I killed Li Yaoping After that, without doing anything, he got almost one billion worth of assets for nothing. It was indeed a golden belt for murder and arson.”

One billion in assets is an astronomical amount of money for ordinary people. Many martial arts masters who work hard throughout their lives may be able to accumulate wealth up to this level.

As for the business giants, the total number of business families with assets exceeding one billion in Dongji Country is only over 2,000.

It only took Ye Qingzhou two days to become one of them, which shows how influential the master martial artist is.

“I don’t know how much my assets will expand if I kill the Grandmaster next time?”

All kinds of dangerous thoughts began to pop up in Ye Qingzhou's mind.

…………

On the second day, the sun rises in the east. At the gate of Ye Mansion, the housekeeper, Uncle Liang, led his men to sweep.

"Yingyue, Youruo, you don't have to send me away."

Ye Qingzhou was wearing plain white clothes at this time. He was so handsome and suave that the young maids in the mansion couldn't help but peek at his handsome face.

He had nothing to worry about when it came to Yingyue and Youruo, but he still patiently said, "I'm going out for a month this time to guard Jiuli Cave. You guys should stay at home and don't cause trouble."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang. We all know that we don't want to cause trouble. If we encounter trouble, we should first go to the Linjiang Chamber of Commerce to find Zheng Zhiguang. If we encounter a big problem that he can't solve, we should go to Gu Minghui."
< br>

Yingyue's eyebrows were curved, and she held Ye Qingzhou's hand with a look of reluctance: "Lang Jun, you must come back soon."

"Yes, I will."

Ye Qingzhou smiled and said: "In terms of cultivation, you should also take care of yourself. Don't spend the whole day just watching TV dramas and doing CP, which will waste your practice."

Later, Ye Qingzhou gave Uncle Liang a few more instructions to take care of his family.

After handling these matters, Ye Qingzhou strode out the door without further delay and walked towards the street.

On the road outside Ye Mansion's mansion, a black pure electric luxury car has been waiting for a long time.

"Ye Qianlong."

A big man in the uniform of the Wushu Association stepped forward and said with a smile: "I am Zhang Hong. The Wushu Association sent me here to pick up Ye Qianlong and go to Jiuli Dongtian to take charge."

"Good work."

After Ye Qingzhou confirmed his identity, he got into the car.

"Yingyue, Youruo, I'm leaving."

Ye Qingzhou and the others waved goodbye.

Then under the gaze of everyone, the black car Ye Qingzhou was riding in quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

…………

The pure electric car drove very smoothly. Ye Qingzhou started from Linjiang and headed west, quickly entering the Xiangxi region.

Xiangxi itself is different from the national highway Ye Qingzhou passed when coming from the east.

The roads here are wider, but there are very few pedestrians. Everywhere you look, a large number of infantry sergeants and armored tanks are stationed nearby, conducting daily training.

There were thousands of people that Ye Qingzhou could see alone, enough to constitute a brigade, and the momentum was huge. If it weren't for the fact that the country was still at peace in the news, Ye Qingzhou thought there was going to be a war.

"Haha, Ye Qianlong is surprised?"

Zhang Hong, a big man in the passenger seat, smiled and explained: "It is approaching the end of the year, so the Southwest Military Region is conducting daily internal drills. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the army will gather and 100,000 people will exercise together, and the smoke and dust will cover the sky. , that scale is magnificent.”

Ye Qingzhou nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Today, Blue Star and Dongji Kingdom's army is the undisputed number one.

The Southwest Military Region alone has nearly one million troops stationed there.

Basically, cities with Cave Heaven Secret Realm will station a group of regular garrison troops. In addition to large legion combat missions equipped with high-tech weapons, the proportion of warriors in the army is also amazing. The military has its own professional martial arts masters and A master martial artist.

The reason why Dongji Country can still maintain stability and harmony after the emergence of Dongtian is because of these people who are carrying the burden forward.

Ye Qingzhou and his party soon turned north along an avenue on the side of the national highway and went deep into the interior of western Hunan.

The further north you go, the higher the terrain gradually becomes, and the surrounding terrain becomes more rugged.

Finally, the car drove through a winding road surrounding a mountain col, and the continuous mountains shrouded in clouds and mist finally appeared in front of Ye Qingzhou.

"Wulongshan Grand Canyon."

Ye Qingzhou looked far into the distance, looking at the undulating terrain in front of him.

Wulongshan Grand Canyon is a full 15 kilometers long. There are more than 200 caves on both sides of the canyon. It is known as the "World Cave Museum".

It is located at the junction of Hunan, Hubei and Chongqing provinces, with a total area of ​​41 square kilometers.

The terrain in western Hunan is complex and not densely populated, but the concentration of vitality is extremely high. It should be because it is close to Jiuli Cave Sky. Many areas have been "secret", causing various changes.

In Ye Qingzhou's sight, more than ten miles away, the most majestic peaks in the continuous mountains were almost obscured by clouds and mist, and only part of their true appearance was revealed.

Between these peaks, clouds and mist linger, and rare birds and animals can be vaguely seen flying out from time to time, just like a fairyland.

"These mountain peaks are all secret realms. On weekdays, some martial arts masters who have just entered the professional level will be arranged to enter the experience. Firstly, it is to hone their abilities. Secondly, it also allows them to regularly harvest the rare treasures in the secret realm. To prevent some dangerous rare birds from breaking out and harming the surrounding human cities.”

Zhang Hong explained to Ye Qingzhou.

Cave heaven and secret realms can bring various benefits, but they are also extremely dangerous. Especially for ordinary people, they often have no power to resist when they encounter rare birds and animals.

Therefore, regular hunting can effectively control the population of rare birds and animals in the secret realm and restrict them here.

Ye Qingzhou finally understood how the various rare treasures he received regularly in the past were "produced".

The professional martial arts masters of Dongji Country are, to put it bluntly, a group of high-level "industrial workers". Their main job is to "produce" all kinds of rare things.

Because of their powerful strength, the master level is equivalent to the security captain + contractor + general manager. They sit in a cave on a rotating basis to maintain the stability of "production".

The system of Dongji Country is now running more and more smoothly, and the process has become extremely formal.

The only problem is the number of master-level martial artists.

Although the martial arts world in Dongji Kingdom has developed vigorously in the past ten years, with the emergence of a large number of young civilian martial arts geniuses, the number of masters is still growing slowly.

Coupled with the casualties caused by various explorations of the secret realm of the cave, the gap has become larger.

That's why after the deaths of Song Yanhai and Li Yaoping, Junshan would take the opportunity to abandon his rival, and Zhao Zhiyi would have a big headache. In the end, he could only choose to let Ye Qingzhou replace Li Yaoping and guard Jiuli Cave Sky.

The car quickly traveled more than ten miles, passed the huge mountain gate stone tablet with the two characters "Jiuli" written on it, and passed the identity verification of the sentry guard.

Ye Qingzhou finally arrived at the destination of his trip.

"Ye Qianlong, along this road is the headquarters of our Wushu Association. Governor Wang should be waiting for us. Please follow me up the mountain."

Zhang Hong was full of smiles and his tone was flattering.

No matter how unhappy Zhao Zhiyi and Wang Anyuan are with Ye Qingzhou, it is an indisputable fact that Ye Qingzhou has a bright future, so no one below him will go back to offend Ye Qingzhou.

After all, Zhao Zhiyi's term as president still has five years left, and Ye Qingzhou's strength will only get stronger and stronger, so the wisest thing to do is not to offend anyone.

"Okay, please lead the way."

Ye Qingzhou looked up at the towering mountains, but his heart felt peaceful.

"Go up this road and reach the top hall. This is the observation post established by the Wushu Association. There are all living facilities inside, so you don't have to worry about daily life problems."

Zhang Hong was walking in front while introducing. Ye Qingzhou listened casually and followed behind him, constantly looking at the surrounding environment from the corner of his eyes.

The road up the mountain is wide, but very steep. Of course, this steepness is not much different from peace to the two martial arts masters Ye Qingzhou and Zhang Hong.

Gradually, through Cicada's keen perception, Ye Qingzhou noticed changes in the surrounding environment.

"The vitality of heaven and earth on this mountain is several times stronger than that at the bottom of the mountain."

Ye Qingzhou said slightly surprised.

"Haha, Ye Qianlong feels it?"
