Imagine the world

The entourage has been sent to Sanhu Town, and old man Yang also slipped out of Yangyuan Valley these two days, but he didn't know where he went, so he just left Qilin in the yard to watch the vegetable garden.In the Qingxiu villa built by Shi Shuangcheng by the lakeside, only Ding Qi and Hua Zhenxing sat opposite each other in the bamboo pavilion on this day.

They were engaged in barbecue, and Huazhen did all the preparation and barbecue, thanking and entertaining Teacher Ding alone.Hua Zhenxing also made a mountain wild vegetable with local materials - picking stones from eggs.

First, a disc-shaped stone pot was processed on the spot, and some pebbles smaller than eggs were put into the pot, poured with tea oil and roasted together with the pot.

Add some salt and shallots to the bamboo eggs, stir them well, pour them into the pot, pick out the stones while they are still hot, and the remaining eggs are cooked and have a good color and fragrance, and a unique wild vegetable is ready.

Teacher Ding looked at Hua Zhenxing's performance-like cooking, and said with emotion: "These few days are really satisfying, and you make delicious food in different ways every day. How did you come up with so many dishes? It's really hard work is you!"

Hua Zhenxing: "It's very simple. I have learned these enlightenment since I was a child. How hard is it to enjoy things? If you say hard work, you are the one who worked too hard. During this time, you have traveled to every place in Yangyuan Valley."

Ding Qi shook his head and said, "I've been to many small worlds like the God's Hidden Kingdom, but this is the first time I've witnessed the large cave formation barrier like Yangyuan Valley which is under construction. Now in the world, there is only this Prescription has such an opportunity, but it is hard to come by, so why bother?"

This is a good statement, although there are many large-scale cave formations in the world, such as the three mountain caves in the Zhengyi Gate of Dongguo, and the Tailao Spiritual Realm in the Zhongnan School, but those places have a history of at least a thousand years.

In today's world, only Yangyuan Valley is a newly built large-scale cave formation. It has not been completely completed, and it is still in the process of changing. It is a rare opportunity to witness this process and understand it.

Even Shi Shuangcheng was instructed by an expert to come here specially to break through the five realms, while Pan Cai and the other original Fengtan disciples didn't want to leave once they came here.

Hua Zhenxing: "Teacher Ding is a distinguished guest here. You can come whenever you want, and stay here as long as you want. You can also build a cave here according to your own preferences, and treat it as a holiday villa. .”

Ding Qi laughed and said, "Let's talk about it next time. It's too late this time. The Spring Festival is coming soon. Xiaohua, you are still two of the three things you promised me this time. Before I go home to celebrate the New Year , we have to do it first."

Chapter 381 Happy Cooperation

The reason why Ding Qi came so soon in person was mainly because he was very interested in what was discussed on the phone last time.

Everyone held a meeting on New Year's Day and criticized Manman's weak sense of confidentiality. In fact, Hua Zhenxing himself didn't pay much attention to this aspect, mainly because he didn't think so much before.

Last year, when I called Teacher Ding Qi, I was originally only asking about the source of Bai Yu's hooves, but I ended up talking about several other elixir.

He talked about the mysteries of Wuqi Pill with great interest. It is not only the main material for refining Chunrong Pill, but also has various other uses, and successfully refining a Wuqi Pill is also the assessment standard for the sixth-level tutor of Yangyuanshu so...

If Mr. Ding was a secret stealer with evil intentions, he would not have come to arrest people like the man in strange clothes for interrogation, and would have covered all the commercial secrets of Huazhenhang directly on the phone.

Of course, this is based on the premise of absolute trust between the two parties, and Hua Zhenxing will definitely not talk about this with other people casually.

The last time Teacher Ding came, he first watched Hua Zhenxing set up an ambush to kill Jin Datou and the others, and then led him to find and enter the legendary Kingdom of Gods and Hermitages, a mysterious, desolate and dead outside world. He had five stick techniques and found a gold mine.

That gold mine, Hua Zhenxing hasn't mined it yet, it's not because he's too busy or doesn't want to make money, but because he has other plans, and the time is not yet ripe, anyway, the gold mine is already in the land he bought.

The main purpose of Ding Qi's coming to help this time is to thank him.Last time, Huazhenxing asked Guangren to give him ten boxes of Chunrong Pills. This gift was too expensive, which made him very embarrassed.

But from Hua Zhenxing's point of view, Teacher Ding was too polite. The mere ten boxes of Chunrong Pills were far from being comparable to the favors and gifts that Teacher Ding had given him.There is no need for the two to thank each other, this meeting is more like discussing cooperation.

Ding Qi asked a lot about Chunrong Dan, but Hua Zhenxing didn't hide anything from him.Then Ding Qi made a request, can he also be Chun Rongdan's agent in the future?

It is not required to be an exclusive general agent like Gambisting. After Gambisting's general agency agreement expires, he can set up a company in Dongguo in the future to be a distribution agent in a certain area.

The relationship between the two is so good, but Hua Zhenxing rejected Teacher Ding's request, and spent a lot of effort to persuade Teacher Ding to give up his thoughts, because the interests involved and the corresponding risks are too great, Hua Zhenxing is worried about Teacher Ding's small body Can't stand it.

If he fought alone, Hua Zhenxing would definitely not be able to defeat Teacher Ding. If the man in strange clothes didn't use the scroll last time, he should not be the opponent of Teacher Ding.But in terms of power, Ding Qi is far inferior to Hua Zhenxing without bragging.

Huazhenxing owns the power of the entire Jili Kingdom. As long as this country and the political organization established by the new alliance are not overthrown, no one can touch him on the surface.However, it is almost impossible to subvert the current Jili Kingdom from within, unless there is a large-scale foreign invasion.

On the Black Desolate Continent, Jili Kingdom has four neighboring countries. Although their strength is stronger than that of Jili Kingdom in the past, their mobilization ability and army quality may not be enough for the current New Alliance Army to fight with one hand.

So from the national level, the only possible external threats are those traditional powers in the world who like to make trouble.Military invasion, sedition, coup planning, spy assassination, and creating various separatist conflicts are all their traditional arts.

Chunrong Dan is indeed a very important resource, and its most important value lies in who controls and distributes it.Huazhen Bank has already transferred the value of its resources to Cambistine, and for the time being, Cambistine will take over the pressure from all sides.

As for economic benefits, the current production scale of Chun Rong Dan is still very small. Even if according to the latest agreement, 220 boxes are produced each year, the total selling price is only 40 billion Dongguo coins, which is less than [-] billion meters of gold.

The 40 billion meters of gold are not profits, but just the annual output value. It is very inconspicuous in today's world, and it can't even keep up with the daily rise and fall of some super-large company stocks.

Because of this little profit, the possibility of a certain power launching a transoceanic war is very small.Moreover, the core technology and production system behind the products cannot be obtained by simple occupation and plunder.

Chunrong Pill is not a resource like minerals. If you want to own it, you can only rely on various constructions and investments. Any means of destruction are ineffective. Stealing and plundering can only temporarily obtain some finished products, but you cannot obtain it. production system.

Therefore, Hua Zhenxing is not worried about the outbreak of conflicts such as the "Chunrongdan War" for the time being, but Jili Kingdom must be careful to avoid conflicts caused by other reasons.

Therefore, the main threat that Huazhenxing is facing now is the various commercial espionage infiltrated from Cambistine.However, commercial espionage at this level is difficult to deal with, and they are often masters with unique skills.

From a macro point of view, Hua Zhenxing is not afraid of these things. He has the entire Jili Kingdom as his backing. Last time he summoned instructors and students above level [-] to build the Blue Sky Cleansing Formation. He gathered more than [-] people at one time, which is no less than any practice. The Zongmen and the magicians have parted ways.

When it comes to personal cultivation, Hua Zhenxing himself is not a master, but he also wiped out the man in strange clothes, not to mention there are three old men in his family.Don't look at the three old men who don't care much now, but they themselves are a strategic deterrent.

According to the feedback from Jogale, the man in strange clothes who attacked last time was named Felis Nero, who came from a family of magicians with a long history.The history of this family is even older than Cambistine, and its ancestors are good at making scrolls, although there are not many of them, they are all high-quality goods.

Not all magicians are willing to accept the registration and management of Cambistine. The great magician Felice Nero is outside the Cambistine system, and he also gathered a group of "wild magicians" in Yin Country. "The sorcerer, known as the Alliance of Ancient Gods.

Gambisting is also very troubled by this alliance of ancient gods headed by Felis. As long as they can't grasp the evidence that they are wreaking havoc in the world, they can't forcefully interfere. They can only keep an eye on it and monitor it at any time.

This time, Felis was finally caught when he came out to cause trouble, and even his people were wiped out by Hua Zhenxing. The evidence is convincing, and Cambistine has recently started to clean up the Alliance of Ancient Gods.

But how could Mr. Ding Qi have such a powerful background?Hua Zhenxing heard that Ding Qi also established a sect in Dongguo, called Fangwaimen, and there are only dozens of elders and disciples in the sect.

No matter how high Mr. Ding himself is, he might not be able to deal with Chun Rongdan's future agent distribution.

In the past ten years of cooperation with Yue Gaole, Huazhenxing can only be regarded as a small business, controlling the number of shipments, obtaining early development funds, and publicizing the magical effect of Chunrong Pill. There are enough authoritative organizations to endorse it. Make it a precious resource that everyone understands and accepts.

Cambistine is simply the most perfect partner in the world. Its influence can span many countries, and it is concentrated at the top of the powerful.The purpose of Huazhenxing is not only to serve the rich and powerful, but these people have an authoritative position in the world and can give the best publicity endorsement for the product.

So when Yue Gaole first proposed cooperation, he hit it off with Hua Zhenxing.

Whether it is Yue Gaole or Ding Qi, although Hua Zhenxing absolutely trusts them, there are some things that he has never said.In his long-term plan, the shipment volume of Chun Rongdan is far more than the scale of thousands of boxes, and the annual output is at the level of one million boxes.

At that time, what kind of resource will Chunrong Pill be?Not to mention that Gambisting can't survive alone, nor can the Kunlun League. I'm afraid it can only be resource exchange and quota negotiation between countries. How can a small Fangwaimen act as an agent for a certain area?

"There are more than 1000 million people on my side, and I haven't planned to fight the thunder myself for ten or eight years. What can the dozens of people in your Fangwaimen do?" Of course, Hua Zhenxing couldn't say such words directly.

But he also told Mr. Ding that the distribution channels of Chun Rongdan would involve too many conflicts of interest in the future, and Fang Waimen could not intervene.He also told Teacher Ding that if Fang Waimen needed it, Hua Zhenxing could directly provide Chunrong Pill for free.

Ding Qi's proposal was rejected. Not only was he not angry, but he looked very happy. He smiled and said, "Xiao Hua, it seems that your ambition is not small! I would like to participate in such a big event, can you Teach me how to make five qi pills?

I have brought all the five elixirs you mentioned. In the future, Fang Waimen can also be a supplier, specializing in providing five qi pills.I am also responsible for the collection of Qinger powder from Jingyang County, Wucheng.I don't want money, you can just give me Chunrong Dan at that time, we can discuss a conversion ratio. "

For such a request for cooperation, Hua Zhenxing of course agreed, not to mention his personal relationship with Mr. Ding, which is also part of the development of the global supply chain of the Chunrongdan industry.

According to the long-term expectation, if Chunrong Dan can be sold all over the world, it is impossible for Huazhenhang to expect all the raw materials to be produced by Huanxiang Industry, as long as the core supply chain is not threatened.

Ask Huazhenxing to send people to Jingyang County in the Eastern Kingdom to look for century-old green sandalwood piles scattered in various mountain and wild tea gardens. After the rain, to collect green sandalwood ears, you have to negotiate terms with so many farmers, as if Not very realistic either.

It is a more reasonable choice to entrust Ding Qi, who is from the local area, to take charge.

Not only did Fang Waimen want to become a supplier of Qinger San, but Ding Qi also wanted to learn how to refine Wuqi Dan, so he used the new Dan recipe that Hua Zhenxing introduced to him, and it was more convenient to collect raw materials in the Wucheng area of ​​the Eastern Kingdom.

It should be known that the assessment standard for the sixth-level tutor of Yangyuanshu is to successfully refine a five-qi pill, that is to say, Ding Qi has to learn the latest and complete secret method of Yangyuanshu.

Hua Zhenxing didn't reject this, but reminded with a smile: "The secret methods of nourishing Yuanshu below the fourth level are all public transmissions. However, the secret methods of nourishing Yuanshu above the fourth level can only be adopted similar to the sect's secret method. way professor.

Teacher Ding is not an outsider, as long as you want to learn, I can teach you.You can also teach Fang Wai Sect disciples later, but you have to sign an agreement with Yang Yuangu, and you are not allowed to pass the secrets above level [-] outside without authorization, and you can only practice inside Fang Wai Sect.

As for the refining method of Wuqi Pill, not only must Yangyuan Technique be used, but it is also one of the core secrets of Chunrong Pill's production.After Mr. Ding has learned it, before he wants to teach it to anyone, he needs to be approved by Yangyuangu and accept unified registration management. "

Ding Qi nodded immediately and said: "I understand, of course I understand. Fangwai's secret method was created by me, and its beauty lies in discovering and exploring the unknown Fangwai's secret realm, but I am not good at the way of self-cultivation and whole body, so I also want the disciples in my sect to practice Yangyuanshu.

As for refining the five qi pills, that is the sign of a sixth-level Yuanyangshu instructor. You have already told me the recipes and raw materials of the pills. I have obtained the core technology authorized by you as a cooperative supplier, so it should be kept secret.

I heard that Shi Shuangcheng was hired as a special guest tutor of Yangyuangu. If you don't dislike it, can you also give me such a status? "

Hua Zhenxing: "I was just about to talk about this. I invite you to be the special guest tutor of Yangyuan Valley. I have to tell you what I just told you. You have also seen unexpected situations this time. There are many situations that we have not considered before. .

The magic staff of Nero is in your hands now, and I have not been behind your back in the past few days in my negotiations with Cambistine. You should be very clear that we have established these confidentiality and authorization systems s reason.

Not much to say about these, once you refine the five qi pills, you will become the second sixth-level Yuanyangshu instructor registered with the International Yangyuanshu Association.As for the first tutor, it is Jogale, the great magician of Gambisting, and I just asked him to sign a non-disclosure agreement. "

Dealing with Mr. Ding Qi is very comfortable. He first proposed a cooperation suggestion, which was rejected by Huazhenxing. Not only did he not get angry, but he also offered to help a lot. I readily accepted it.

Hua Zhenxing promised Teacher Ding Qi three things in total. One is to lend him the magic staff left by the man in strange clothes to study for a period of time.

The second is to follow him around Yangyuan Valley, practice Fangwai's secret method in the process, and then go to the Kingdom of Shenyin, where he can consolidate and perfect the realm of Fangwai's secret method.

The third is to reach a cooperation agreement. He and Hua Zhenxing will learn the technique of nourishing Yuan and refine Wuqi Pill.Although Hua Zhenxing agreed to cooperate, Teacher Ding's Wuqi Pill has not been refined yet.

So after finishing all the investigation and planning work in Dongtian Lingzhi District, the two of them were sitting alone and having a barbecue today. Teacher Ding mentioned this again. Two of the three things Hua Zhenxing promised were still missing.

Chapter 382 Xiaohua's World

The Gate of Shenyin is located in the northwest of Tianhe Town, not far from the reservoir area. There is a natural passage between the boulders on the hillside, which is also the gateway to the legendary kingdom of Shenyin.

When Huazhenhang first bought about [-] square kilometers of land to build a land reclamation area, it did not enclose the location of the gate of Shenyin.At that time, his funds were limited and could only be used in the most important places, first transforming the Beiluo River Basin to ensure people's livelihood.

What is the most important place?Everyone has a different perspective. From the order in which Hua Zhenxing invested his funds, we can see his priorities.Anyway, in Ding Qi's view, Hua Zhenxing didn't pay much attention to the outside world of the Kingdom of the Gods.

The first batch of land purchased by Huazhenhang did not include the Gate of Shenyin, nor even the gold mine that Ding Qi found last time.

It was not until a long time later that Huazhenhang had sufficient funds in its hands that it bought the wilderness to the north of the agricultural reclamation area and the mountainous land to the west with a ten-year installment payment, with a total area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers.

If it were placed in another country in the world, such a large-scale land acquisition would be unimaginable, but it was possible to realize it in the original Port of Fiso.

At that time, the new alliance had already controlled the port of Feisuo. Huanxiang Industry and its multiple affiliated organizations bought the land circled by Huazhen Bank from the government of the Port of Feisuo in pieces. important source of funding.

Huanxiang Industry now has to pay at least [-] million meters of gold for land acquisition every year, which has also greatly stabilized the financial situation of the new government of Jili State led by Shire.

Today's Shenyin Gate is already on Hua Zhenxing's territory, and it is even more desolate than before.Because the south has been developed into a land reclamation area and a reservoir area, few people come here, even the shepherds have disappeared, and only wild animals appear on weekdays.

It’s not accurate to say it’s desolate, it’s just that there’s no one there. Ding Qi came to the gate of Shenyin again, looked around and said, “The vegetation here is more vibrant, and the air has become a lot more humid. If you stay here every day, you may notice There is no change, but after a long time like me, the feeling is obvious."

Hua Zhenxing said with a smile: "We Huanxiang Industry has a R&D department, and the leader of the R&D department is called Da Kezi. Last time Da Kezi told me that from the perspective of global environmental changes, the precipitation line in the northern hemisphere is gradually moving north. The trend in the Central Plains is more obvious.

There is also this trend in the surrounding areas of Jili Kingdom. In the future, more water conservancy projects will be built on the northern wasteland, and this change must also be taken into account. "

Ding Qi: "You really stick to your old profession. All you think about is how to change the world. According to my opinion, in the northern wasteland, you will build another blue sky washing formation in the future, right?"

Hua Zhenxing replied excitedly: "How is one place enough? Yangyuan Valley has a special team doing exploration, and eleven more suitable places have been drawn on the sand table, and many areas even exceed the scope of Jili Kingdom. It’s basically a wilderness with no one.”

Ding Qi: "How much resources will be invested? I can't even imagine the manpower, material resources, and financial resources you have to invest."

Hua Zhenxing: "It's not that exaggerated. Now that we have built the first blue sky washing formation, we can build the second or even the tenth. As for how much resources will be invested, it is just that the resources are used. long-term usefulness”

Ding Qi changed the subject and said, "In fact, the change in the vitality of this place is not only because the precipitation is slowly moving northward. The annual rainfall here is not small in the rainy season. I think it is the influence of the Blue Sky Washing Formation and the Tianhe Formation."

Hua Zhenxing: "At that time, of course, it was not far from here. If the vitality did not improve, wouldn't so many of us work for nothing? Teacher Ding, do you feel that it is much more comfortable than the last time?"

Ding Qi: I told you just now!I don't know what has changed in the country of Shenyin. Since I left last time, have you never entered again? "

Hua Zhenxing: "It's mainly because I'm too busy and have too many things to do."

Ding Qi: "I left you the world-controlling treasure of the hidden kingdom of the gods, and also the inheritance of Fangwai's secret method. I just want to teach you how to open the portal and even control the entire world. You are not very interested .

This time, I have seen the changes in this place, and I understand the reason more or less. Your ambition is not here.

But no matter what, you opened this door. After talking here for so long, you still don’t do anything. Is it because you haven’t practiced the secret method at all, so you can’t open the door? "

Hua Zhenxing stretched out his right hand and said: "That's not true, I have practiced with you for so many days, so I can't even open the door."

The bracelet-shaped Shenyin Spear on the right wrist has now turned into a white bone staff, and the scenery at the front of the Shenyin Gate has changed. The line of sight passes through the portal space, presenting a mountain scene in another world, Hua Zhenxing walked in first.

Ding Qi sighed: "Senior Yang's methods are really unpredictable."

Walking into this portal, you will come to an altar-shaped place, behind which are five cliff murals inlaid with gold.When they came in last time, there was a skeleton kneeling in front of it, and the bone staff in its hand was the world-controlling treasure here.

The concept of the treasure of controlling the world, Mr. Ding said, is somewhat similar to Fufengpan to Yangyuan Valley and Bikongxi to Bikong Lake, but they are different. They are not only the key to open the secret realm, the center of controlling the secret realm, but also contain All the information about this secret realm.

Teacher Ding brought out the bone staff and left it to Hua Zhenxing, but old man Yang used it, another artifact and a stick that Hua Zhenxing had sharpened at will, and sacrificed it into a divine hidden spear.This is something that Ding Qi can't do, he can't even imagine it.

Entering the Shenyin Kingdom again, what you see is still desolate and dead. The area of ​​this small world is comparable to Yangyuan Valley, but now there is no one, only ruins and tombs.

Due to the lack of clear historical records in this area, in the legends of many indigenous tribes, it is claimed that the kingdom of the hidden gods is a myth in ancient times.However, according to Teacher Ding's research, the so-called God's Hidden Kingdom did not exist long ago, extending from hundreds of years ago to 50 years ago.

Hundreds of years ago, when the western powers came to the Black Desolate Continent, a local tribe led by Wu Ji migrated to this outer world and settled there, leaving only legends in the outside world.

This closed tribal civilization developed to its peak about 200 years ago, then began to decline until it was completely extinct 50 years ago.The skeleton that Hua Zhenxing came in and saw last time should be the last witch priest here, and he buried it with his own hands.

According to Mr. Ding's judgment, that person has the identity of a witch priest but has no ability to perform a witch sacrifice. The secret method of opening the door with the bone refining staff should have been lost long ago, or no one in the tribe can learn it anymore, so everyone here has already passed away. Can't get out.

Hua Zhenxing can now understand what Teacher Ding said at the beginning. For example, Manman was the witch priest of the Sea God Clan. If she hadn't met Hua Zhenxing, the so-called Sea God inheritance of the Sea God Clan would most likely end with her.

Hua Zhenxing understands the history of this place, but he is not interested in this outside world. Although gold is everywhere here, it cannot be taken out. It is only meaningful to develop agricultural reclamation areas and liberate Jili Kingdom in the outside world.

But Teacher Ding came again, helped him so much, and asked him to do three things, how could Hua Zhenxing refuse to agree?

Walk down the altar and pass through a low-lying valley, and climb up the hillside to see the remains of the house made of stone blocks.With Hua Zhenxing's current cultivation base, he can roughly determine the age of the ruins by scanning his spiritual sense. Most of them were concentrated around 200 years ago. They are not very old, but they look like prehistoric relics.

Ding Qi: "Xiaohua, do you feel any changes in the vitality of this place?"

Hua Zhenxing stopped and frowned slightly: "It seems that there is a change, but it is far less obvious than the outside. Teacher Ding, can I ask you a question? Why do you have to let me practice the secret method of Fangwai? If it is for the exchange of nourishment There is absolutely no need for surgery."

Ding Qi looked at him and said meaningfully: "The three seniors in your family have learned a lot from ancient times to modern times. If you can teach you anything, you probably won't be able to finish it in 100 years. So you really don't care about the secret method I created. You can't keep your head up, can you?"

Hua Zhenxing hurriedly said: "I don't mean that, I'm just curious."

In fact, what Ding Qi said was the truth, not to mention what the three old people learned, now Yangyuan Valley has the inheritance of Dingfengtan back then, involving various techniques, utensils, alchemy, and talismans. There are also many kinds of magic spells recorded in the book of inheritance, Hua Zhenxing can't practice them now.
