Zhang Feng was sitting on his chair with a calm expression. In his hand was the Mysterious Star Disk that was repaired by Zhao Hai. He gently stroked the disk with a smile on his face.
Zhang Feng's mood was very good. He didn't think that the heavens would allow Zhao Hai to appear in front of him. For Zhang Feng, Zhao Hai was very important. As long as Zhao Hai was here, he would be able to win over more people in the future. This way, his influence would be even greater. He would be able to compete with the core disciples.
Zhao Hai's ability to decompose and synthesize materials was very powerful. There was no lack of alchemists and blacksmiths in the Cultivation Realm. However, it wasn't easy to find alchemists and blacksmiths with high success rates.
In the Cultivation World, whether one wanted to reach the Spirit-Refining Stage or the Dharma Phase, or even successfully form the Dharma Phase, they all needed the assistance of elixirs. Elixirs used for leveling up were even more difficult to refine, and the success rate was so low that it was frightening. Even if one had the ingredients to refine an elixir, they might not be able to produce a finished product. Most importantly, a finished elixir could not guarantee the effect that one wanted, which was the most terrible thing.
An incident happened in the Cultivation Realm that left a deep impression on Zhang Feng. This incident was also widely spread in the Cultivation Realm. It was said that in the Middle Continent, there was a disciple of a large sect. His talent was very good. He smoothly refined his spirit and formed his Transcendence Stage. However, when he wanted to form his Golden Core, there was an accident. The disciple found 200 sets of supplementary materials and then found a very famous alchemist to refine them for him.
But what made people surprised was that the famous alchemist ended up wasting all of his 200 points of ingredients. Finally, the Cultivator formed his core without any pills. But in the end, the Cultivator didn't manage to form his core. After going through all these setbacks, the Cultivator couldn't take it anymore and ended up committing suicide.
The alchemist was a good friend of the cultivator who committed suicide. In the end, the alchemist also went crazy. This death and madness really reflected the cruelty of the Cultivation Realm.
However, if Zhao Hai was here, the cultivator wouldn't have committed suicide. This was because Zhao Hai didn't have any waste pills. He could decompose the waste pills into materials and let the alchemist continue to refine them. No matter how many times the alchemist failed, the cultivator would be able to obtain 200 pills. Not to mention a cultivator with good talent, even a cultivator with trash talent would be able to form his Golden Core with these pills.
From this point, it could be seen what an existence like Zhao Hai meant to a cultivator. With Zhao Hai, it was equivalent to an endless supply of pills, various materials, and various artifacts. This was something that no cultivator could resist.
Because of Zhang Feng's previous identity, it was impossible for him to rope in those high-level alchemists and blacksmiths. Those high-level alchemists and blacksmiths didn't look at an inner disciple. Their eyes were fixed on those core disciples. It was also because of this reason that Zhang Feng didn't have any decent alchemists and blacksmiths in his hands.
Now that Zhao Hai had appeared, for Zhang Dan, it was definitely a heaven-shaking surprise. After a while, Zhang Feng put away the formation plate, but his brows were wrinkled.
Zhao Hai was very important to him. However, if he wanted to deal with Zhao Hai, he couldn't let others notice Zhao Hai. This was the biggest headache for him right now.
In addition to Zhao Hai, there was another person, Zhang Hao. When Zhao Hai used his divergent technique, Zhang Hao also saw it. If he didn't deal with Zhang Hao, then Zhao Hai's matter would definitely be exposed.
The best way to keep a person's secret was to turn them into a dead person. However, although Zhang Hao was a small character in the Black Tiger Gang, his current position was also very important. If he suddenly died, then the Black Tiger Gang would certainly investigate. At that time, it was inevitable that they would be exposed. One must know that the Dark Hall people weren't vegetarians. Those people simply didn't know where they would come from.
If it was just an ordinary outer disciple, then killing him wouldn't be a big deal. However, an outer disciple who was in charge of the battle slaves was different. An outer disciple who was in charge of the battle slaves often had contact with people from the outside world. If he died, then the gang would certainly suspect that he was killed by people from other realms. At that time, it would be even more troublesome.
Moreover, he still had to deal with Zhao Hai. If Zhang Hao suddenly died and he turned Zhao Hai into an outer disciple, then as long as the gang members weren't blind, then they would certainly pay attention to Zhao Hai. The gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
If Zhang Hao was transferred and killed, then it would be even more troublesome. This was because he didn't know if Zhang Hao would tell others about this matter after being transferred. If that happened, then it would be even more troublesome.
Since killing Zhang Hao wasn't enough, then in order to keep Zhang Hao's secret, there was only one way, and that was to pull Zhang Hao to his side.
Zhang Hao's strength wasn't very strong, and his talent wasn't very good. He belonged to the kind of person who didn't have any talent. Even if Zhang Feng wanted to pull someone to his side, he wouldn't pull Zhang Hao. However, in order to keep his secret, he must pull Zhang Hao to his side.
Zhang Feng knew that if he really wanted to pull Zhang Hao to his side, then Zhang Hao wouldn't refuse. First, it was because of Zhang Feng's status. He was the number one inner disciple, if he didn't agree to pull an ordinary outer disciple to his side, then he would be a ghost.
Moreover, he had Zhao Hai in his hands. With Zhao Hai, he wasn't afraid that Zhang Hao wouldn't join him. But Zhang Hao wouldn't use this matter as a stepping stone. This was because the Black Tiger Gang knew that even if he sold this information to a core disciple, he wouldn't necessarily get any benefits. Moreover, he would also offend Zhang Feng. Even if Zhang Feng didn't dare to make a move on a core disciple, he still had a lot of ways to deal with a nobody like Zhang Hao. Therefore, Zhang Hao would definitely join him.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Feng said in a deep voice, "Zhang Hao, come to my room."
Zhang Hao was very nervous. Although Zhang Hao's cultivation talent was ordinary, he wasn't worse than anyone else. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get the position of a guide.
When Zhao Hai spoke about his ability, Zhang Hao didn't think much about it. But when he returned to his room and thought about this matter, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
The battle between Zhang Feng and a core disciple wasn't a secret. And Zhao Hai's importance to a cultivator was self-evident. Zhang Feng would certainly keep Zhao Hai in his hands. And as the only one who knew about Zhao Hai's ability, Zhang Hao was afraid that he wouldn't have a good end.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he got. Zhang Hao was restlessly pacing back and forth in his room. He was very clear that he was just a nobody among the outer disciples. He might have no future in front of Luo Ying, but in Zhang Feng's eyes, Zhang Hao was just an ant. If Zhang Feng wanted to kill him, he could do so with a wave of his hand. But in order to keep this secret, Zhang Hao might even kill him.
Thinking about this, Zhang Hao broke out in cold sweat. He knew that running away was useless. Even if he ran away, Zhang Feng would send people to kill him. Although Zhang Feng couldn't compare to the core disciples, his influence wasn't small. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sit in this position.
At this time, Zhang Hao suddenly heard Zhang Feng's voice. When he heard Zhang Feng calling him, Zhang Hao felt his head buzzing. He knew that he was finished. After a while, Zhang Hao calmed down. Then he took two deep breaths and turned around to go outside. He was very clear that he was too close to Zhang Feng. Even if he wanted to run, he wouldn't be able to escape from Zhang Feng's palm. He might as well go and see Zhang Feng.
When Zhang Hao arrived at Zhang Feng's door, he loudly said, "Elder Brother, Zhang Hao requests an audience."
Zhang Feng said, "Come in." Zhang Hao pushed the door and went inside. Then he gave Zhang Hao a salute and said, "I don't know what Elder Brother wants me to do."
Zhang Feng looked at Zhang Hao's appearance and faintly smiled. To be honest, he appreciated Zhang Hao. Of course, what he appreciated wasn't Zhang Hao's strength or his cultivation talent, but his ability to handle affairs. Zhang Feng's ability to handle affairs was very strong. He was smooth and slick. In the past, Zhang Feng didn't like this kind of person. This was because a cultivator didn't need to have a strong ability to handle affairs, nor did they need to curry favor with everyone. When one's strength reached a certain level, they didn't need to curry favor with others.
However, Zhang Feng recognized that Zhang Hao's ability to become a guide from an ordinary outer disciple was inseparable from his ability to handle affairs. This was why Zhang Feng appreciated Zhang Hao.
At this time, Zhang Hao was somewhat nervous, but he still maintained his calm. However, he didn't think that because of this, Zhang Feng would appreciate him even more.
Zhang Feng said, "Little Hao, I called you here today because of Little Hai's matter. You should already know about Little Hai's ability, and you should also know what this ability represents. Little Hai's matter must not be revealed to anyone. From now on, you will be this Zhang Feng's brother, and Little Hai will also be your brother. In the future, there will be more brothers. However, Little Hai's matter must only be known to you and me. I will give you a chance now, you have to do something for me. As long as this matter is done well, then you will be under my protection. How about it? "
When Zhang Hao heard Zhang Feng's words, he couldn't help but stare blankly, then his face was filled with ecstasy. He knew what Zhang Feng's words meant, Zhang Feng was trying to win him over, but at the same time, it was also a threat. Although he didn't understand why Zhang Feng wanted to win him over, but one thing was certain, and that was, this time, not only would he not die, but he would also obtain a big backer, which for an outer disciple, was very important.
Zhang Hao didn't say anything else, he immediately knelt down in front of Zhang Feng and bowed, "Senior Brother, please instruct me. As long as I can do it, I will go through water and tread on fire without hesitation.
Zhang Feng looked at Zhang Hao's appearance and couldn't help but smile. Zhang Hao's reaction was completely within his expectations. He said, "Take my name card and arrange for Zhao Hai to be an outer disciple. It would be best if you can find a place where no one will pay attention to him. The less contact he has with people, the better. Moreover, you can't attract the attention of Ren Keren. It would be best if you don't let too many people know that it was me who ordered you to do this. How about it? Can you do it? "
Zhang Hao stared for a moment, then he stood up and said, "Senior Brother, you can rest assured. I will do my best."
Zhang Feng smiled faintly and said, "Good, go." Then he took out his jade card and threw it to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao received the jade card and then gave Zhang Feng a salute before he turned around and left.
Zhang Feng looked at Zhang Hao and smiled faintly, "I want to see how this kid will handle this matter. If he does well, then it would be a good thing."
Zhao Hai also heard the conversation between the two. He was surprised by Zhang Feng's reaction, but he quickly figured out what was going on. He couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "I didn't expect that I would become so popular. This is also good. I'll find a quiet place and watch how things develop. I believe that Zhang Feng won't treat me badly." Not only did he say this for himself, he also said it for Cai 'er and the others.
Zhao Hai's understanding of the Black Tiger Gang and the Cultivation Realm only existed on paper. In this case, he couldn't do anything. It would be better for him to follow Zhang Feng's arrangement and become an outer disciple of the Black Tiger Gang. Then he could slowly understand the Black Tiger Gang. When the time is right, it wouldn't be too late to stand up.
Moreover, Zhao Hai didn't dislike Zhang Feng's arrangement. On the contrary, Zhang Feng's arrangement would save him a lot of trouble. Zhao Hai wasn't afraid that Zhang Feng would force him to refine pills or refine artifacts. This was because Zhang Feng needed him. His strength was too important for Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng wouldn't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Zhao Hai wanted to know what kind of identity Zhang Hao would give him. But in any case, it seems like Zhang Feng wouldn't let Zhao Hai participate in the duel. This was definitely a good thing for Zhao Hai.
For the next few days, Zhao Hai rested in his room. Zhang Feng also didn't summon Zhao Hai. He didn't want to be too conspicuous. But at the same time, he used the Stacked Shadows Praying Mat to monitor Zhao Hai. He also mobilized all the forces he could mobilize. First, he wanted to see what Zhang Hao was doing these days. He was afraid that Zhang Hao would leak the information. Second, he wanted to be prepared. If Zhang Hao really did leak the information, then he wouldn't be caught off guard.
For the next ten days, Zhang Hao didn't come back. However, Zhang Feng received some information about Zhang Hao through his monitoring system. Zhang Hao didn't betray him, nor did he use his name to go around. In fact, these days, Zhang Hao didn't do anything out of the ordinary except for his secret contact with the steward disciples of the Handyman Hall. This made the people monitoring Zhang Hao somewhat puzzled. Even Zhang Feng was curious about Zhang Hao. He now wanted to know what Zhang Hao was going to do.
