Chapter 2078 Matching Magical Weapons
The sale of laser weapons in Zhongzhou is controlled by Huo Jiujian, and he has even taken over some of the detector business from the Five Friendly Alliances.
The current Five Friends Alliance is basically helping Daye City, but this is originally a gray industry and also requires white gloves.
As for what Immortal Yongheng said about City Lord Huo being very happy, it is really the case.
All the laser weapons sold in Daye City are smuggled goods, and since it is an exclusive sale, the previous sales risks were actually quite high.
The key is that Hongyeling does not want to raise the price too much. Basically, it is "selling cocaine with the heart of selling cocaine, but making money by selling cabbages."
So in many cases, City Lord Huo used this business as a favor.
Now that the Star Palace has also brought back similar goods, the sales pressure has been reduced a lot.
Although it is not an exclusive monopoly, with only two companies operating, it is basically orderly and controllable, and the impact is not that great.
After Huo Jiujian confirmed the news, he went to have a drink with Immortal Yongheng that same day - he could finally make money easily.
Qu Jianlei had not expected that things would develop in this direction, and for a moment he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
In addition to this, Huo Jiujian also did two things, one of which was to get the "Seven Star Acupuncture Book".
As for how it was obtained, City Lord Huo did not say, and Immortal Yongheng did not ask.
What’s most rare is that while he got the acupuncture book, he also got a set of golden needles from the eight-armed macaque.
There are thirty-six golden needles in total, made of a variety of materials. They are called golden needles because they have some metallic properties.
Judging from the shape of the golden needle, it is obviously not forged in modern times and is at least thousands of years old.
City Lord Huo has calculated that this set of golden needles should be used in conjunction with an acupuncture book.
Although the golden needle is of Jindan grade, it is better to use for Yuanying and has the potential for upgrading.
City Lord Huo said that he was very surprised by the ability of the eight-armed ape. Not only could this guy get the acupuncture book, he also had a matching magic weapon.
However, the Immortal Yongheng believed that the two might have been discovered together, but the eight-armed ape did not make it public.
But there’s no point in talking about this now. The thing is already in hand, so why bother about the past right and wrong?
What is rare is that Huo Jiujian had no intention of keeping the golden needle for himself, otherwise, Yongheng would never have known this news.
Lord Huo believed that this was the cause and effect of Hongye Ridge, and he planned to hand over the acupuncture book and golden needles to Lord Qu Ridge.
Speaking of this, Immortal Yongheng couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of someone who came from the Star Palace, this pattern is really different."
In addition to this, Huo Jiujian did one more thing, which was to help the Immortal Yongheng.
Through some means, he found the two brothers who had previously blocked the True Immortal Yongheng - Tianyu and Diyu.
The two fools, Heaven and Earth, are fond of chess and are good at divination. They act in their own way.
Huo Jiu originally didn't want to provoke this kind of person, but since the matter involved Hongye Ridge and its partner the Five Friends Alliance, he felt that he couldn't just sit back and watch.
So he used various means and finally stopped the two brothers.
The reason is ready: How much do you think of me, Huo, by causing trouble in Daye City?
However, after blocking the two brothers, what happened next? Immortal Yongheng did not say anything more. "Master Qu Ling, go ask yourself."
Qu Jianlei was a little surprised at both things City Lord Huo did, especially the latter.
In his opinion, the City Lord's Mansion should have a stronger bureaucratic atmosphere. How could this City Lord have such a strong gangster vibe?
It just so happened that he also wanted to get the Seven-Star Acupuncture Book, so he agreed on a location with Immortal Yongheng.
In the evening of the next day, Qu Jianlei came to the "Yuye Restaurant" not far from the City Lord's Mansion.
Daye City has a population of 70 to 80 million, and this is one of the most high-end restaurants. It looks ordinary from the outside, but it is a world of its own inside.
At the very least, it occupies a large area of one square kilometer, but can only accommodate nine groups of guests at the same time.
Qu Jianlei entered the restaurant, and the waiter with foundation-building cultivation brought him to a small garden.
The garden is not big, but there are seven Nascent Souls in it: Huo Jiujian, Yongheng, Sanshi, the city lord's servant, and a bodyguard behind him.
Then there are two brothers who look alike, obviously Tian Fool and Di Fool.
Including Qu Jianlei, there are a total of eight Nascent Souls here.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, City Lord Huo mentioned the matter of the Seven-Star Acupuncture Book, and then took out an ancient box.
When the box was opened, there were eighteen golden needles on each side.
If City Lord Huo wants to do a favor, he must do it in a solid way and show off to others at the same time.
See? I can give away such a valuable item just because I want to!
Since he had this vanity, Qu Jianlei was naturally willing to cooperate. He even pretended to refuse and said that he only wanted acupuncture.
This golden needle is clearly the city lord's trophy. How can I take it away from someone else?
Of course City Lord Huo disagreed, saying that this was the karma of Lord Qu Ling and he didn't want to be involved.
That’s right, the two fools of heaven and earth already knew that the distinguished guest entertained by the city lord was Lord Qu Ling of Hongye Ridge in Dongsheng.
Hongyeling's fame in Zhongzhou has skyrocketed recently.
Whether it was the fact that he was holding on to the Heavenly Demon Infant or that he had left the Master of the Rites and Music Hall of the Starry Palace out in the cold for more than a month, these were both explosive news.
City Lord Huo wanted to show off, not only to demonstrate his generosity, but also to emphasize how awesome his family's reputation was.
After some refusal, Qu Jianlei finally accepted the golden needle, and then said in front of everyone: I owe you a favor.
This gave Huo Jiumian enough face. You know, this is the hottest Hongye Ridge nowadays. How much is a favor worth?
Then Qu Jianlei talked about the tribulation at Hongye Ridge, which was a topic of great concern to the cultivators in Zhongzhou.
The relevant news has been reported back a long time ago, but how can it compare to the oral accounts of those who have experienced it personally?
At least the two brothers Tiandi Shuangyu asked a few questions, all about the influence of the devil.
As for the issue of air traffic between the two states, Qu Jianlei did not mention it, and no one asked about it.
He was a little emotional. There was still a peaceful atmosphere in Daye City, and there was no sense of urgency of demon invasion.
Qu Jianlei was even a little puzzled. "Temple Master Jiang Hui said that Zhongzhou is in danger, so why is the atmosphere not as tense as Dongsheng?"
Huo Jiujian replied nonchalantly, "Some places are indeed tense, but the east side is okay... maybe because it's next to Dongsheng?"
Daye City is located at the easternmost side of Zhongzhou, across the sea from Dongsheng.
"I thought they were exaggerating," Qu Jianlei said casually, "After all, when you're asking for help, you have to emphasize the difficulty."
But even though he said this, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, that Hall Master Jiang... was clearly selling anxiety!
"Some places are really bad," Tian Yu said suddenly, "There are thirty-six cities in Zhongzhou, and each one is different."
The latter sentence is a Zhongzhou proverb, which refers to the 36 first-tier cities. The specific conditions of each city are different.
In some cities, the City Lord's Mansion is almost non-existent. In some cities, the City Lord's Mansion acts cruelly and the people under its jurisdiction flee.
Qu Jianlei frowned upon hearing this, "So now... it's impossible to judge the situation?"
"So what if we can judge it?" Di Yu snorted coldly, "Zhongzhou is too corrupt. It's useless if we don't reorganize it."
"Speak properly!" Sanshi Zhenxian was a little dissatisfied, "First you disrespected my elder brother, and now you're trying to do this to Lord Qu Ling?"
However, Di Yu looked at him coldly, "You are so foolish... You have wasted all your cultivation!"
As everyone knows, Immortal Sanshi's mind is not broad, but he doesn't dare to care about Qu Jianlei and Yongheng.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "The wise brothers are unparalleled in their divination. Even my eldest brother was caught by accident. How come he was caught by City Lord Huo?"
"Are we the ones who got caught?" Di Yu smiled disdainfully, "You can tell at a glance that you don't know how to play chess!"
Immortal Sanshi sneered and asked, "A chess move that seeks death? I really don't understand it!"
"Alright Sanshi," Immortal Yongheng said sternly, "You don't know, at that time they were tied up... and were waiting quietly."
"You know resistance is useless," Sanshi Zhenxian is really petty.
The two fools of heaven and earth looked at him and said nothing.
"Resistance is really useless," Huo Jiujian said slowly, "I have made all the preparations."
He first praised himself, then changed the subject, "But the two foolish brothers also had a foresight... the cure is in the East!"
City Lord Huo knew very well that these two brothers were really difficult to catch. They knew how to seek good fortune and avoid danger, so he had tried several times but failed to catch them.
Otherwise, he didn't want to provoke such people before? It was too troublesome. If he was hated, it would be even more troublesome.
But this time he has to catch him, and he would rather fight again and again despite repeated failures than not show his responsibility.
He even planned that if it didn't work, he would use some of his old connections in the Star Palace to resolve the matter.
Who would have thought that in the end, the two brothers stopped trying to escape and were caught obediently, and said... We don't want to escape anymore.
Because in their predictions, the future of Zhongzhou would be dark and there would be no place for them to stay.
Only on the east side of Zhongzhou was there a slight chance of reversal, and it was there that the cause and effect between them occurred.
Since you have encountered such a thing, just solve it. There is no point in hiding.
Therefore, when City Lord Huo blocked the two fools of heaven and earth, no fierce conflict broke out. One side did not want to be aggressive, and the other side was already tired.
Although the two fools of heaven and earth were aloof, they had a good reputation for honesty, and Huo Jiujian didn't mind letting them know more.
In fact, City Lord Huo knew in his heart that his friendship with Hongyeling could not be hidden for long.
Since the Two Fools of Heaven and Earth are willing to stay in Daye City, he is not afraid to bring them to today's meeting.
In addition, Huo Jiujian also prepared a surprise for Qu Jianlei, which was... he had basically locked on the person who attacked Wu Yao.
Wu Yao is the master of the Equipment Refining Hall who won the bid for the stone jar. He was attacked by someone and the stone jar was lost.
He Gen, deputy head of the Equipment Refining Hall, was furious because his men were ambushed, so he offered a reward everywhere, but there was no clue at all.
But Huo Jiujian really found a clue - this is one of the reasons why he wanted to track down the two foolish brothers of heaven and earth.
