Playing with the magnificent fire spirit stone in his hand, Roger's interrogation finally came to a conclusion.
It was the Li family of Jingcheng.
They didn't want to spy on the mine's secrets, but to cause a conflict between the Jingcheng forces and the Tree Shade.
On one hand, it was to throw out benefits to make the major forces of Jingcheng jealous, and on the other hand, to make the Tree Shade have a bad impression of the Jingcheng people.
Once Li Guming escaped and the other captives were killed, they couldn't understand the other party's purpose. At the same time, there were many powerful and malicious spies in the shelter. The conflict only needed a trigger to break out.
"These people from the Li family didn't choose the most heavily guarded castle. Perhaps it was to make it easier for them to escape, so they chose the mine area that was a level lower but still important … This can be seen from the towering arrow towers outside the mine and the patrolling guards around."
"Unfortunately, they underestimated the defensive power of the mine … … Tyran alone is enough to defeat a thousand-man Awakened army in a frontal battle."
Li Guming was strong and loyal to the Li family. His character was too good to be a miner.
He no longer cared about how to deal with it. Roger and the others would arrange it.
However, the hatred came too suddenly like a tornado, and Tang Yu was still puzzled.
"The Li family's young master was killed by me? When did this happen? I'm clearly a civilized person. "
He racked his brain and thought hard.
Until he remembered that he once had a good quality rune combat knife that was destroyed by him. That kind of heartache made him remember …
It turned out that it was the mercenary group that appeared inexplicably and quickly fell.
It seemed like he really killed them.
… …
Late at night.
Castle, Cultivation Room No. 2.
Tang Yu closed the door and leaned back on the soft sofa in a comfortable position, holding the magnificent, pebble-sized fiery red spirit stone in his hand.
A few meters away.
Above the Genesis Qi pool, the dense Genesis Qi was visible to the naked eye.
He took a deep breath and formed a misty source power, which he inhaled through his mouth and nose, penetrating his heart and spleen.
In an instant, his waist was not sore, his legs were not tired, and he was full of energy even if he stayed up late to practice.
It was just like the difference in Norland's smoggy days and the fragrant countryside. The difference in Genesis Qi concentration was even greater than the difference in air quality.
"Sometimes I can't bear to go out after staying in the cultivation room for a long time."
No more thinking.
Using his own Source Energy as a primer, he pried open the fiery red Origin Crystal and absorbed the high-purity Source Energy inside.
The Genesis energy was extremely pure and could be fused into one's body with just a little refinement. He could feel that the Genesis Qi sea in his body was growing stronger, and his cultivation progress was clearly improving.
"Compared to normal cultivation, the efficiency has increased by 260% … No, it's 280%!"
He was overjoyed.
Normally, the speed of cultivation in Cultivation Room Two was already extremely fast. Even a 10% increase was not a small improvement, let alone an increase of two or three times.
The speed of absorbing and refining the spirit power wasn't as fast as it was now. Part of the reason was that the quality of the spirit power was too poor. Few of them awakened the spirit power of high-rank demonic beasts.
"But …"
Tang Yu smiled bitterly.
The originally bright red Origin Crystal in his hand had dimmed a lot. According to his estimation, it could only support him for half an hour at most.
A high-purity Fire Origin Crystal the size of a cobblestone contained about fifty units of Origin Crystal. However, this was a high-purity Origin Crystal that could be absorbed directly. Its value would definitely far exceed that.
For example, 1 = 500 or even higher.
"In other words, I have to spend at least a thousand Origin Crystals to cultivate for one hour? Even if I can't cultivate indefinitely every day, it's still 5,000 Origin Crystals according to the calculation of five hours. "
In the past, he needed Origin Crystals for battle. But now, he needed Origin Crystals for cultivation. Even "Tang Earns 100,000 Yu a Day" couldn't support it.
The followers' cultivation resources also needed to be provided by him.
"It's impossible to cultivate completely with high-purity Origin Crystals. But when it comes to breaking through bottlenecks, supplementing it with Origin Crystals should improve the probability of breakthrough and reduce the time needed."
"I hope there are more high-purity Origin Crystals in the spirit stone mine to mine."
… …
The next day.
To Tang Yu's surprise, early in the morning, he received several formal visit cards.
They were from five forces in Jingcheng.
With the Li Family incident, he was too lazy to meet them in person. So, he asked Chen Haiping to meet the representatives of several forces one by one.
Some representatives tried to find out some of the Tree Shade's secrets. In less than two minutes, they were asked to leave.
"Three parties proposed to trade rune equipment with us and sell these equipment to Jingcheng."
Chen Haiping paused, "These three parties are more sincere, but the specific distribution of benefits can't be agreed."
Tang Yu thought for a moment, "Tomorrow, separate these three parties and talk to them one by one. In addition, quietly spread the news … such as our Tree Shade is about to reach a million-level deal with some party."
… …
Shelter, Official Hotel.
Half of the hunters from the eight forces lived here. Some people had bumped into them, but they pretended not to know them.
Formally visiting the Tree Shade's senior officials. The several forces hadn't discussed it, but their pace was surprisingly consistent.
While pretending to be an adventurer, doing missions, and preparing to break through the Trial Tower, he secretly met with the Tree Shade's higher-ups to talk about the trade of rune equipment. While sneaking into the shelter, he 'confessed' the spies of the other forces to express his sincerity. While he was at it, he could also trip up the other forces.
They felt they had succeeded. Minister Chen agreed to their trade request. Only the specific price and division of benefits were still under discussion.
However.
They learned that Chen Haiping met with the five forces, and all of them sold out their teammates.
Tang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
They probably didn't know they were also sold out, right?
The last three forces were still spying for information. Their faces had 'I don't know anything' written on it. Until fortunately, a piece of news' accidentally 'reached their ears.
… …
"What?! The Wu family sold us out, and now our every move is under the control of the Tree Shade? The Wu family also used this to reach a million-dollar deal with the Tree Shade? This is outrageous! "
"We agreed to force the Tree Shade to hand over the rune technology and the secret realm. But those bastards betrayed the revolution. We can't just let it go!"
"The Ancestral Dragon Pioneer Camp's Commander Blade … our family can't afford to offend him. But even if we unite with the other forces, we can't let you eat alone!"
The original purpose of coming to the Tree Shade? They had long forgotten about it.
Anyway, the higher-ups told them to adapt and wait for the opportunity to act. Isn't that it?
… …
The hunters who could be sent to spy on intelligence were not fools. Their IQ was at least above the average.
They didn't get hot-headed. Instead, they continued to investigate and soon discovered that these 'inadvertent' news were deliberately passed to them by the Tree Shade.
It wasn't exclusive to one force. Every force enjoyed the same treatment.
However, after learning the truth, they were even more unable to unite. They were all hostile to each other.
It was true that they sold out their teammates.
It was also true that a million-dollar deal was also true!
And perhaps only one of them could really reach a deal and get this benefit for their own forces.
The others were all competitors.
The Tree Shade wasn't a child holding a gold brick, but a strong man with a sharp weapon. The eight forces were not united, so there was no way to talk about coercion. They were worried that if they united to coerce on the surface, someone would secretly sell them out for a million-dollar deal.
The Li family, who first proposed, was also nowhere to be seen.
The next morning, the castle gate hadn't opened yet, but the eight forces were already waiting outside.
… …
One by one, the forces entered the door to negotiate, but soon someone came out with a sullen face.
The goods were in short supply. Several forces couldn't sit back and watch the Tree Shade raise the price. But they hoped to win the competition and get the biggest share.
In the end,
Jingcheng's major forces decided to unite.
"60%. We have so many families in Jingcheng taking 60% of the revenue. Your Tree Shade taking 40% is already very high!"
The other party was aggressive.
Chen Haiping was calm and didn't care, "Just now, the Wu family proposed a 40-60 split. Our Tree Shade 6, the Wu family 40. Jingcheng's sales will be handled by the Wu family …"
Swoosh.
The Awakened ones from the various forces immediately focused their gazes on the Wu Family members.
Wu Mian could only return an awkward but polite smile.
Dao Feng turned his head to look at Chen Haiping. His oppressive aura was like a rolling wave. He said word by word, "Then tell me, how do you want to divide it?"
"Eight-two, our Tree Shade, eight, and your Jingcheng, two."
The door of the conference room was pushed open. Tang Yu walked in, ignoring the oppressive aura. He lazily sat on the main seat, glanced at them, and faintly opened his mouth.
Nancy and Yan Dingtian stood behind him, one on the left and one on the right.
Dao Feng stood up abruptly. The other Jingcheng hunters' faces were also ugly.
"Impossible!"
"Without our consent, no matter how good your rune equipment is, you can't enter the Jingcheng market. In addition, the safety of the equipment store, as well as the transportation from Tree Shade to Lindong, all require a lot of manpower and material resources. 50%, we want at least 50%! "
Tang Yu smiled, his eyes swept across the Jingcheng hunters, and slowly stretched out a finger.
"First of all, you have to understand that our rune equipment can be sold to Jingcheng, but it can also be sold to Mountain City, Lake City, Lan City, and other places. Jingcheng is not the only choice. And you can only choose to accept our distribution, or leave."
The second finger was also slowly raised, "As for the transportation, we plan to do it ourselves. Last but not least, the hunters stationed in the various equipment stores, you don't think the Tree Shade can't afford it, do you?"
After a pause:
"Of course, you may still lack some intuitive understanding of our Tree Shade …"
As he spoke, Tang Yu winked at Yan Cauldron.
Yan Cauldron understood and stood up with a grin, "Jingcheng, do you really think you're the strongest shelter in Tiannan? Do you really think you're qualified to negotiate with us? Selling rune equipment to you is charity, understand? "
Blade was furious, his body surface glowing with a metallic luster.
Wu Mian's eyes were flowing with light.
However, in the next moment.
An indescribable momentum erupted from Yan Cauldron's body.
"Your Jingcheng shelter can't even resist a mutant eagle. You know, like that kind of golden mutant eagle, I can fight one … one and a half! Think about it yourself. If it was me, I wouldn't even give you 10% of the profits. "
After properly showing his muscles, the suffocating momentum quickly dissipated.
Blade was drenched in cold sweat. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
They didn't have the confidence to negotiate. As the Camp Commander of the Vanguard Battalion, he knew some secrets. Blade faintly guessed what this momentum represented.
"You … must be the strongest man in the Tree Shade." He couldn't help but salute.
Yan Cauldron laughed, "Of course I am … ahem, no. But my strength is also among the best in the Tree Shade. I can rank second … third … uh, maybe fourth …"
His ranking in the "Trial Tower" had risen to fourth, but he couldn't go any further.
In the end, it was set at 82%.
The Tree Shade was responsible for the production and transportation of the equipment, while the sales were handed over to Jingcheng. The Tree Shade only sent a small number of personnel to supervise.
While the Tree Shade ate the meat, Jingcheng could also drink a few mouthfuls of soup.
The major forces' sales scope and profit distribution were decided by themselves.
Tang Yu only briefly mentioned that his relationship with the Li family wasn't very good. The Li family couldn't be destroyed because of a word. But a mere Jingcheng force was enough to hand it over to his followers and subordinates.
There were also other Jingcheng forces who might hit him when he was down.
All he needed to do was to wait quietly in his territory for the news.
During that time, Blade also made an invitation, hoping to explore the Mirage Mountains together. As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Yan Cauldron.
Tang Yu didn't agree or refuse. He just asked him to wait.
In the end.
When they were about to leave the castle, Blade asked with some reluctance, "If you leave the transportation to us, we can deliver the Tree Shade's goods to Jingcheng in three days. Just give us another 1.5% of the profit."
Tang Yu smiled, "You'd better hurry up and send the news back. Tomorrow at 9 am, the goods will appear near your Jingcheng Second Transit Station. Remember to receive it."
Immediately, he sent the puzzled Jingcheng hunters out of the castle.
… …
In the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
The first batch of trained aerial soldiers stood straight on the playground, waiting for orders.
A total of 20 people. Lu Xiaopeng stood in front of them, each wearing a full set of equipment and carrying a black flight bag.
After a few days of training, they might not be able to exert the same combat power in the air as they did on the ground. However, they were very skilled in controlling the flight bag. The incident of hitting the wall didn't happen again. Some hunters could even use the flight bag to show off their skills in the air.
They were able to exert 80% to 90% of their strength.
"Today, as aerial soldiers, it's your first time on the battlefield. But you're not rookies. I don't need to say more about what you need to pay attention to. There's only one requirement, to complete the mission perfectly. Do you understand?"
The aerial soldier instructor and chief captain, Sky, said coldly.
"Understood!" All the aerial soldiers responded.
"All of you, follow me."
Sky turned around, using his wind ability to control the surrounding wind, surrounding his body.
With a whoosh, he soared into the sky, leaving only a small dot in the blink of an eye.
The 20 aerial soldiers didn't dare to neglect. They immediately launched their flight bags and flew into the sky, following behind the chief captain.
