Ling Yun and Tang Meng went out of the house to welcome Cui Lao.
"Nice to meet you, Cui Lao!" Tang Meng greeted Cui Lao obediently with a pair of sharp eyes.
Cui Lao smiled and nodded. "Oh, Tang Meng is here?"
As the saying goes, the weather in June and the face of a child can change at will. Just a moment ago, the sun was blazing in the sky, but in just a moment, a few dark clouds floated over and covered the dazzling sun.
Ling Yun couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw the possibility of heavy rain. "Let's move the things!"
Even though the thousand-mile soul chasing powder had many uses, it was afraid of rain. Once it was washed away by the rain, its faint aura would be completely washed away. Even with Ling Yun's five senses and six senses, it would be difficult for him to find Cao Shanshan's whereabouts.
More than two hundred kilograms of silver were packed in eight intricate safes. These eight safes were quickly moved into Cui Lao's black van.
"Tang Meng, bring them to lunch first. After lunch, think of a way to transport the medicinal herbs here."
The medicinal herbs were packed in dozens of snakeskin bags and transported in a large truck. It was impossible for the truck to drive all the way here, so it could only be transported in batches to the courtyard house.
"Oh right, give them a call and ask them to continue purchasing medicinal herbs from Qingshui City. Same old method. Buy as much as possible and store them in Mansion Number One. Don't run out of medicinal herbs!"
Tang Meng chuckled. "Big Brother Yun, don't worry. I've been keeping the medicinal herbs for you. The medicinal herbs in Mansion Number One are much more numerous than before, be it in terms of variety or quantity …"
"You really know how to do things …"
Ling Yun nodded his head in satisfaction. Tang Meng really had a good eye for foresight, even thinking ahead of him.
"I'll go with Cui Lao to settle some matters. I'll call you when I'm back."
Ling Yun got into Cui Lao's black van. The van turned around and drove out of the city.
Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the inconspicuous, run-down factory outside the Seventh Ring Road.
Ling Family Weapon Workshop!
This time, the van didn't stop after entering the factory. Instead, it drove straight to the warehouse of the small factory.
"This is a restricted area of the warehouse. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!" An eye-catching warning was posted on the door of the warehouse.
The warehouse's door was large enough to fit two large trucks side by side. The area inside was even larger, with a large open space. Behind the open space, there were more than ten warehouses, and each warehouse's door was tightly shut.
As the van entered the warehouse, Ling Yun expanded his divine sense to the maximum. With a sweep of his divine sense, he immediately knew that there was a door that looked like a warehouse behind it. It wasn't a warehouse at all, but a huge passageway. Inside the passageway was the secret workshop of the Ling Family's Weapon Workshop.
Obviously, the metal materials used to forge weapons in the secret factory were all transported in through this passage.
This design was ingenious and unexpected. Ordinary people would never think of it.
After the van entered the warehouse, Cui Lao took out an extremely sophisticated remote control and gently pressed it against the warehouse door.
The door of the warehouse slowly closed, and the huge warehouse immediately became completely sealed.
Cui Lao chuckled. "The materials used to build this warehouse are also completely soundproof …"
Ling Yun was shocked. How much would it cost to build such a large building with soundproof materials?
The Ling Family had been in decline for eighteen years. Why couldn't they make ends meet every year? Of course, the money wasn't spent on the food and clothing of the dozens of people in the Ling Family. It was spent on these unseen places!
This was a foundation, and a foundation burned money!
Cui Lao pressed the remote control again, and the door that looked like a warehouse slowly opened to both sides, revealing its true appearance.
It indeed looked like a warehouse, but it was empty inside. However, Ling Yun already knew that as long as this warehouse was facing the door, the real weapon workshop would be behind it.
The driver was one of the remaining thirty-six men of sacrifice from the Ling Family. He was obviously very familiar with this place. After driving the van in, Cui Lao finally got out.
Cui Lao pressed the button and remotely controlled the door of the warehouse to close. He then flew to the opposite wall and lightly knocked on a certain part of the wall. The originally seamless wall opened up to a 30-centimeter square window, revealing a secret compartment inside.
It was definitely a stronghold. The defensive measures here were even better than a bank's vault.
The design of the hidden compartment was similar to that of an ATM machine in a bank. There was a screen and a place to enter a password.
However, this screen was a video intercom system. Ling Yun could already see Ling Seventeen's face on the screen.
"Cui Lao is here?" On the screen, Ling Seventeen's eyes were no longer dim. Instead, they were full of energy and vigor. His eyes were filled with excitement.
"En, open the door." Cui Lao smiled at Ling Seventeen before turning to Ling Yun. "Fourth Young Master, we were already under Ling Seventeen's surveillance the moment we entered the warehouse."
Ling Yun was secretly shocked. If the Ling Family, which was the weakest among the Ling Family, could a weapon workshop be so heavily guarded? Wouldn't the core areas of the other six families be even more heavily guarded?
If Chen Jianwei hid Cao Shanshan in such a place, it would be much more troublesome to rescue her!
The half-meter-thick steel wall parted from the middle and slowly opened to the sides. When the two sides entered the walls, the view suddenly became clear. Steam billowed out, and waves of steam assaulted Xiao Chen's face.
Ling Yun smiled and looked back at the tightly shut door of the warehouse. It was indeed a huge and tightly guarded transportation channel.
"Fourth Young Master is mighty!"
Ling Seventeen flew to Ling Yun with one hand on his crutch and kowtowed. "Ling Seventeen thanks Fourth Young Master for saving the Ling Family!"
Obviously, Ling Seventeen knew everything that happened in the Ling Family last night.
Ling Yun smiled as he helped Ling Seventeen up. "I'm a member of the Ling Family, and it's only right for me to protect my own family. Why are you thanking me? Do you still treat me as an outsider? "
Ling Seventeen shook his head excitedly.
"Fourth Young Master, how are the silver arrows coming along?"
Ling Seventeen said agitatedly, "Fourth Young Master, after you left, I personally led a group of people and have been busy since last night. In total, we have produced more than two hundred silver arrows, including twenty-four pure silver arrows."
Ling Yun was overjoyed when he heard that. "Let's go and take a look!"
The three of them quickly arrived at the place where the arrows were made. Ling Yun saw five neatly arranged bundles of arrows. Four of them had fifty arrows, and the other bundle was made of pure silver.
Every arrow was one and a half meters long. The tip of the arrow was incomparably sharp, and they were all made of pure silver. Under the illumination of the lights, they shone with a bright silver light.
The four bundles of silver arrows were plated with a layer of pure silver according to Ling Yun's request. They looked about the same, but Ling Yun knew that two hundred arrows would be much less effective against the Blood Clan than the twenty-four arrows.
Ling Yun took out a pure silver arrow and weighed it in his hand. It was actually two kilograms. He couldn't help but furrow his brows. Two hundred kilograms of pure silver could only be used to make a hundred arrows.
The saying "the poor study while the rich fight" was true. War was definitely the most expensive thing to do.
This was true for ancient martial arts, and it was even more so for modern warfare. Aircraft carriers, cannons, guns, ammunition, and even missiles and nuclear bombs were all expensive.
"Alright, we'll forge according to this. I've sent you another two hundred kilograms of silver to make these arrows!"
Ling Yun gave a new order to Ling Seventeen without hesitation. At the same time, he secretly thought that it was time for his four Blood Clan servants to bleed a little.
At the same time, Ling Yun also thought about what a foundation was all about. It wasn't just a matter of money. The importance of resource reserves suddenly became apparent.
For example, medicinal herbs, metals, minerals, and so on. No matter how much money you had, you might not be able to buy them immediately if you went to the market to buy them!
But what if you had accumulated tens of thousands of kilograms of silver in your house? No matter what you want to use pure silver to forge, it's up to you. Feel free to use it!
Ling Yun felt that the arrow shaft was too thick. It was actually as thick as an ordinary cigarette. "The shaft can be made thinner … otherwise, it will affect the speed of the arrow."
Ling Yun reminded Ling Seventeen. This way, they could use the same amount of pure silver to make double the number of arrows.
"Fourth Young Master, I've tested it before. If that's the case, the arrow will be a little erratic and affect the accuracy …"
Ling Seventeen said seriously to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun smiled slightly. "Don't worry, it won't affect the accuracy of others, but it won't affect me."
Ling Seventeen nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Ling Yun bent down and put the five bundles of arrows into his spatial ring. Then, he realized tragically that his spatial ring had been completely stuffed to the brim.
These two King of Stones take up too much space … Ling Yun was secretly depressed, especially the King of Stones with a diameter of one and a half meters and a height of one and a half meters. It alone took up seventy percent of the space in the spatial ring.
Moreover, there was also the Super Tanghulu and Ling Yun's Shennong Cauldron. These three big items took up too much space.
Ling Yun's spatial ring was only two and a half meters in length, width, and height after another upgrade. Naturally, it was completely stuffed with so many arrows.
Ling Yun asked the warrior of sacrifice from the Ling Family to unload the two hundred kilograms of pure silver and put the eight empty boxes back into the van.
"We still have to hurry …" Ling Yun said to Ling Seventeen as he pointed at the silver on the floor.
Ling Yun felt that the Earls, Marquises, and the Grand Duke that Chen Jianwei invited were about to arrive in Beijing.
"Yes! Ling Seventeen will follow Fourth Young Master's instructions! "
Ling Yun nodded and gave a few simple instructions before leaving the Ling Family Weapon Workshop with Cui Lao.
"Rumble …"
Just as the van drove out of the gate of the small factory, a dull thunder exploded from the distant sky!
The sky became even darker! (To be continued.)
