Chapter 558: Convincing people with virtue
“Director Mangli, Yingxiang and Juanshang are here~”
A rich voice sounded outside the door, bringing Mangli, who was working at the desk, back to his senses , raised his head and looked at the open door: "Come in~"
As Mangli's words fell, three figures filed in one after another.
The leader is quite tall, about two meters tall, with big arms and a round waist, and a Chinese character face. Standing there, he gives people a powerful and upright feeling.
Zhong Zhentian, the martial spirit "Lava Troll", is twenty-eight years old, a level 49 attack-type fighting spirit sect, a Zang-refining martial artist, and the deputy captain of the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] Tiandou City resident guard team.
Following Zhong Zhentian, two people came in. One was tall and thin, with a handsome face, a high nose, and extremely sharp eyes, which made people unforgettable; the other had a strong body and a pair of arms that were larger than those of an ordinary person. Slightly taller and unremarkable in appearance, he always has a smile on his lips, which makes people feel good about him.
The eagle soars and mourns.
"Tell me about it~" Mangli put down the document in his hand, leaned back, leaned on the back of the big chair under him, looked at the three of them with a pair of shrewd eyes, and asked: "What happened? Why did you come here suddenly?"
Yingxiang and Juanshang looked at each other. Finally, the former took half a step forward and whispered: "Director Mangli, Duke Iris hosted a banquet last night. Ning Fengzhi of [Qibao Glazed Sect], the two sides seemed to have reached an agreement.”
"That's it~" Upon hearing this, Mangli's eyes flashed, but his face remained calm and he asked: "Do you know what the specific agreement is?"
Yingxiang shook his head and said: "The specifics I’m not sure, I only know that it may be related to Princess Denise and the eldest prince Xue Luoshu~”
“Okay, I understand~”
Mangli nodded noncommittally, no If he didn't say anything more on this topic, he turned to say seriously: "Both of you have good talents. Don't spend all your time on that. Practice more. Otherwise, even if you set up a family later, it will be difficult to develop. , even with the explicit and implicit support of [Storm Dragon Wolf Targaryen Family] and [Aoki Chamber of Commerce]..."
In response to Mangli's persuasion, both Yingxiang and Juanshang looked serious. Listen, only the two of them know how much they hear in their hearts.
Mangli knew this very well. After saying a few words, he stopped and took out two milky white jade bottles from the desk drawer at hand.
"Take it~" Mangli threw the two jade bottles to Yingxiang and Juanshang. When the two caught them, he said again: "These are the ones left by the city lord before he left three days ago. It's a new product of the 'Wolf Soul Series', specially reserved for you two."
When they heard that it was left by the Lord of the City, both Yingxiang and Juanshang subconsciously clenched the jade in their hands. Zhong Zhentian, who was next to him, couldn't help but cast his eyes at the jade bottles in their hands.
Since the advent of "Wolf Soul No. 1", the "Wind Demonic Wolf" and the Wolf Bandits on the Douluo Continent have faced a disaster.
Countless soul masters came one after another to participate in the hunting operation. In less than two years, not only the wandering wolf thieves were wiped out, but also the "wolf thieves" hiding deep in the soul beast forests and grasslands. "Wind Demonic Wolf", all turned into rare animals under the hunting of human soul masters.
Fortunately, just before the "Wind Demonic Wolf" was completely exterminated, the "Demon Wolf Breeding Base" was established, led by the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] and supported by the seven top soul master families behind the [Great Soul Fighting Arena Alliance].
The base is located in a valley under a branch of the "Tianling Mountains". It is jointly operated by the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] with technical personnel and the [Great Soul Fighting Arena Alliance] with armed guards.
Today, the 'Wolf Soul Series' has been updated and iterated to "Wolf Soul No. 5". Except for the early first-generation "Wolf Soul No. 1", subsequent No. 2 to No. 5 have all been born. At the 'Martial Soul Research Institute' in Lingyun City.
As the leader in the development of the 'Wolf Soul Series', Ximen Tao earned a lot of money through commissions from the popular sales of the 'Wolf Soul Series', and was also regarded as ' Messenger of the Gospel'.
What makes Yingxiang and others envious the most is that Ximentao's cultivation talent is clearly still inferior to theirs. Now he relies on the arrogant cultivation method of spending a lot of money, and he just relies on piling up resources and hiring sparring partners. In terms of martial arts, he not only became a martial artist who transformed energy into refining the internal organs, but also became a five-ring soul king in terms of martial arts.
Holding the jade bottle in their hands tightly, Yingxiang and Juanshang made up their minds to continue their efforts to have a child. They must give birth to a genius with an innate soul power of level seven or above!
At this moment, Mangli's voice sounded again: "The city lord said that these two bottles of "Wolf Soul Replenishing Pill" have added a little bit of the blood power of "Storm Dragon Wolf", you two It is best to use it with your wife later on, as there is a chance of giving birth to a genius child with the blood of "Storm Dragon Wolf". ”
Three days ago, Ling Yi went to the Duke of Stormwind’s Mansion for a banquet. Before leaving, he absorbed a small amount of the blood of his ancestors and grandson, including Duke Aerys Targaryen. After leaving, he briefly studied This chapter contains the relevant data of "Storm Dragon Wolf", which can be regarded as filling the database.
After research, the remaining bloodline materials were not wasted. After being extracted and purified, they were blended into two bottles of the newly released "Wolf Soul No. 6".
For other men on Douluo Continent, these two bottles of "Wolf Soul No. 6" make them more durable and brave, without any fatigue afterwards. But for the men of the [Storm Dragon Wolf Targaryen Family], this is a treasure-level existence.
It can be compared to the pollen of "Qiluo Tulip" to the Ning family of the "Qibao Glazed Sect".
Although Yingxiang and Juan Shang are not the owners of the "Storm Dragon Wolf" martial spirit bloodline, their wives are the daughters of the collateral line of the [Targaryen family]. Even if the bloodline is a little weak, However, under the effect of these two bottles of the enhanced version of "Wolf Soul Replenishing Pill", it is possible that children can be born that are comparable to the direct bloodline of the main lineage.
After obtaining such a treasure-level secret medicine, Ying Xiang and Juan Shang couldn't sit still. They hurriedly said hello to Mang Li and Zhong Zhentian, then turned around and ran towards the Duke of Storm's Mansion.
The two of them came to the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] together to purchase the 'Wolf Soul Series' products. This is the greatest confidence that the two of them have been able to work continuously for more than ten years and give birth to dozens of children.
Mangli didn't pay attention to the departure of Yingxiang and the others. He turned to Zhong Zhentian and said, "Tell Jiulan and prepare the 'Fengming No. 1 package'. I'll go there in a while." Palace.”
Hearing the words, Zhong Zhentian promised loudly: "Yes——!"
...
Half an hour later, Tiandou Palace.
Mangli followed Xu Yixiu, the captain of the palace guard, and walked slowly towards the harem.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
"Dong, dong dong, dong dong..."
Slight knocking sounds sounded from the hands of Mang Li and Xu Yixiu one after another. The already subtle and undetectable sounds were reflected in the footsteps of the two people and Xu Yixiu's movements. The sound of metal friction as the armor moved was completely submerged in nothingness. Except for the two parties involved, no one can detect it.
......
A few days later, at noon, a man and a horse rode on the wide official road, following the flow of people and horses, and walked leisurely towards the north gate of "Gengxin City".
From Tiandou City, the imperial capital of the [Tian Dou Empire], to the metal capital located in the northwest corner of the [Star Luo Empire], it is thousands of miles away. I originally walked on the snow, and let go. If it were, it would be possible to arrive within a day, but Ling Yi was not in a hurry, so he just let Texue decide his own speed, and he did not treat himself badly with three meals and one night every day.
"Brother Yi——?!"
In front of the city gate, the captain of the city guard wearing metal plate armor rubbed his eyes. After seeing Ling Yi's handsome face clearly, he finally felt a little afraid. He exclaimed in belief.
Ling Yi followed the sound and saw a familiar but somewhat older face, and he couldn't help but smile.
Xiang Guyun is an old acquaintance. When Ling Yi brought Yang Xueli to this "Gengxin City", the first old acquaintance he met was this comrade who had escaped from the [Shuimu Principality] military.
"Brother Yun, long time no see~" Ling Yi got off his horse and led Texue up to greet him.
"Yeah~" Xiang Guyun was a little excited, but also said with a sad smile: "It's been a long time since we last met -"
More than ten years ago, he would have walked up and patted Ling Yi on the shoulder, They joked a few words, but now...
Looking at Ling Yi, Xiang Gu Yun was filled with emotions. Although they were standing face to face, with no more than a mile apart, he felt that they were thousands of miles apart. so far away.
This is a gap in strength and a disparity in status, which makes Xiang Guyun unconsciously flinch. Ling Yi, who noticed this, didn't say anything. He just raised his hand with a smile and lightly punched Xiang Gu Yun in the chest, just like he did many years ago: "Let's go, Brother Yun. Let's talk later when we have time~"
Xiang Gu Yun felt this familiar punch, and the feeling of anger in his heart suddenly eased a lot. The smile on his face became natural, and he nodded and said, "Okay--!"
Although, no matter it is Ling Yi, Both Xiang Guyun and Xiang Guyun knew that this so-called 'free time' was far away, but Ling Yi still said it, and Xiang Guyun responded seriously.
Seeing Ling Yi’s back disappear into the crowd, a sergeant from the city guard approached Xiang Guyun and asked in a low voice: "Boss Xiang, who is this? He looks so handsome and has such an air of demeanor. It’s also amazing, he looks even more powerful than the prince from the Xingluo royal family who came a while ago——”
Xiang Gu Yun glanced sideways at the sergeant who came over, and said lightly: “The latest one No. 1 in the first issue of "Douluo Celebrity List" "
"Hiss——" *N
As soon as Xiang Guyun finished speaking, a series of inhaling sounds sounded around him, but the other city guard sergeants who had their ears perked up had already thought of Ling Yi's identity.
Not to mention the city guards under the North City Gate, who were all excited because of Ling Yi's arrival. Ling Yi, who was leaving Xiang Guyun, led his horse and walked on the street to the [Blacksmith Association General Assembly] .
Looking around, everything you see is prosperous. Although there are many people, they are orderly, and there is a strange beauty of harmony and unity of busyness and neatness.
In the central area of "Gengxin City", in front of a huge building more than thirty meters high, Ling Yi stopped and looked up at the dark iron plaque with a hammer and chisel pattern directly above the building.
【Blacksmiths Association General Assembly】!
"Treading in the snow? A Yi?!"
On the street in front of the General Assembly, an old man with white beard and hair who was energetic walked in the other direction. The other party noticed Ling Yi's stop and his eyes immediately Ta Xue, who locked onto the divine horse, then recognized Ling Yi.
"Ah, Brother Gu~" Ling Yi turned his head, looked at the old man walking over, and greeted him with a smile.
The visitor is a disciple of Tiefu Tu, senior brother of Lou Gao, and the fourth-placed "Bone Spirit Lenghuo" Ah Gu in the "Douluo Contemporary Master Craftsman List".
"It's really you~" Ah Gu walked closer, looking at Ling Yi's face that had not changed from more than ten years ago, and said with emotion: "If I hadn't seen Ta Xue, I wouldn't have dared Recognize~”
"Uncle Ling Yi~"*2
At this moment, the two young men following Ah Gu said hello at the same time.
"Chengyun, Yishui." Ling Yi responded with a smile and nod.
These two are not strangers, Mo Chengyun and Qiu Yishui. The former is Lou Gao’s new disciple a few years ago, and the latter was originally a student of [Tiangong Academy], who was previously in the first In the "Unified Assessment of the All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy", he finally got the third place in the blacksmithing subject and is now Ah Gu's disciple.
Fifth floor of the Blacksmiths Association, Casting Room No. 1.
When he saw Ling Yi for the first time, Lou Gao's eyes lit up, but then he turned away angrily.
"Senior brother, you're still angry~" Ling Yi walked into the door with a smile, followed by Ah Gu, Mo Chengyun, and Qiu Yishui.
“Hmph!” Lou Gao puffed his nose out and breathed out, with the four characters ‘I’m very unhappy’ written all over his round face.
In response, Ling Yi chuckled and shook his head. He patted the wishful treasure bag on his waist with his right hand. A dark brown wooden box appeared in his hand as the light blue light flashed. .
"Here~" Ling Yi handed the wooden box in his hand to Lou Gao and said with a smile: "This is a gift from your named disciple."
"A gift?" Lou Gao turned around and looked at the wooden box in front of him. A flash of curiosity flashed in his eyes, but under Ling Yi's gaze, he snorted arrogantly and turned his head dismissively: "Nothing. It’s for no reason. If I hadn’t given him some casual advice for your sake, I wouldn’t have had this disciple...”
“You really don’t want it?” Ling Yi tilted his head and looked at Lou Gao and said: “ This is a good thing that it got after specifically grabbing a big force. If it had been someone else, even the [Haotian Sect], unless Tang Chen took action, the whole sect might not be able to do it together. Come on——"
As he said that, Ling Yi opened the wooden box in his hand, revealing an irregular black sphere the size of a child's head inside.
As the wooden box was opened, a smell suddenly appeared in the casting room that was originally filled with the smell of iron filings and charcoal fire.
Fragrance of wine? !
"Sniff, sniff~"
Lou Gao couldn't help turning his head, looking at the black sphere in the wooden box with a pair of small round eyes, his nose twitching, and subconsciously asked: "This... what is this thing?" ?"
""Wine Stone"~" Ling Yi shrugged and stuffed the wooden box and the black sphere into Lou Gao's hand. The other party did not pretend to be reserved this time. He was very surprised. Take it naturally
"Tarta"? "Lou Gao lowered his head and looked at the black sphere in the wooden box. After a closer look, he found that this irregular sphere was not actually a black stone, but a accumulation of golden crystals. It was just because there were too many accumulations, the color It settles down to make it look black.
“If I remember correctly, isn’t “tartar” a crystalline impurity in wine? And it should be white~”
"These two are two different things~" Ling Yi explained: "Old wine that has been accumulated for more than twenty years has accumulated a paste, and a century-old stone has formed. This one in your hand is eight thousand years of wine paste that has condensed into a stone."
Lou Gao blinked when he heard the words. Although he didn't understand, the prefix 'eight thousand years' alone could explain the preciousness of this crystallized stone. He immediately asked: "How is this thing used?"
Ling Yi was not surprised by Lou Gao's change of attitude and said with a smile: "If you put it in a water tank, pour in water and soak it for an hour, you can get a tank of second-class, second-class fifty-year vintage. "Monkey wine". "
" Damn it——! "Mung Bean's eyes widened to the size of walnuts, staring at the black stone in his hand that no longer smelled like wine: "That's it? One tank? ! "
"More than one tank~" Ling Yi shook his head and continued: "I have already brewed a hundred tanks in Lingyun City, all with a capacity of 500 kilograms. Look at it like this. I won't talk about brewing later. Ten thousand cylinders, a few thousand cylinders should be more than enough. ”
"Remember, the longer this thing is soaked, the higher the age of the "monkey wine" you get, but there is a limit. The highest is about 800 years. It only takes two days and two nights to soak it. Any more. It's of no use~"
Listening to Ling Yi's words, Lou Gao didn't bother to ask Ling Yi why he used this "tartar" in the first place, but asked curiously: "This baby is really Thai... cough ! That guy got it?"
"Ang~" Ling Yi nodded naturally: "There is a large group of "iron-armed monkeys" not far from his hometown. After discussing with the boss of the "Iron Arm Ape" to convince the ape with virtue, the "Vajra Iron Arm Ape King" broke off a piece from his ancestral "big wine stone" as a gift. "
When Lou Gao heard Ling Yi's understatement, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
If he remembers correctly, it is the "Xuanhuang Earth Mother" of "Titan Giant Ape" On the handle of the "golden hammer", Ling Yi had carved the word "virtue" in a seal, and he even said in a bad way that "to persuade people with virtue".
Ah Gu, Mo Chengyun, and Qiu Yishui, who were listening to the interaction between the two, were all confused and felt that their brains were a little insufficient.
If they heard correctly, it seemed that Lou Gao had taught a named disciple before, and then the other party asked Ling Yi to give Lou Gao a thank you gift.
If you just look at the above sentence, everything is normal. A grateful little blacksmith just gave Lou Gao a thank-you gift.
Even if Master Ling, the most famous figure in the Douluo Continent, is entrusted in the middle, it is because the other party has a strong network background.
But what the hell are this "Iron Arm Ape" group and the "Vajra Iron Arm Ape King"? !
Is "Iron-armed Monkey" the famous thousand-year-old soul beast?
The "King of Diamond Arm Monkey"? Isn't this the name of the "Iron-armed Ape" after he broke through ten thousand years of cultivation?
In addition, a large "Iron Arm Ape" group must have at least multiple units of king-level "Iron Arm Apes", and the leader of the group must be at least close to 50,000 years of cultivation, right?
Not only can he entrust Master Ling, who is famous all over the mainland, to deliver the thank you gift on his behalf, but can he also steal things from the "Vajra Iron Arm Monkey King"? How is this different from snatching food from a tiger's mouth?
What is the background of this little blacksmith? Is the road so wild?
