Tan Xiu had never refused a business deal that could bring him money. In this era of material desires, money was the yardstick to measure success and failure. He knew the importance of money too well. Money could travel anywhere in the world, but without it, it would be difficult to move a single step. For the sake of cultivation and materials, Tan Xiu had to think about how to make a fortune even if he was tied to the university.
Zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting!
He had been in the Immortal World for thousands of years and could be said to be proficient in everything. Drawing a building design was a piece of cake for him. He was confident that the design he drew would definitely become a landmark building in this world. It would make everyone's eyes light up.
A strange light flashed in Long Zhengyu's eyes as he slowly said, "I have two friends from the capital. They are preparing to build a skyscraper in Star City. They want the most majestic, unique, and iconic building. Our Long Family has decided to cooperate with them. The total investment from the three parties is 5 billion yuan. Of course, we'll consider adding more funds if there is a problem in the future. As for the 10% shares, it won't change even if we add more funds in the future. "
5 billion?
Tan Xiu was tongue-tied as he looked at Long Zhengyu's serious expression. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He wasn't shocked by the 5 billion yuan investment, but the 10% shares that caught him off guard.
Those shares …
Those shares were equivalent to being given away for free!
Tan Xiu came back to his senses and was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh as he said, "Using 500 million to buy a design? Do you have money to burn?"
Long Zhengyu said with a smile, "500 million to buy a design may be a fantasy story. But I think it's worth it, and they will also feel that it's worth it. You must know that 500 million is not only buying a design, but also buying a friendship that will tie you to our chariot! Those two friends heard about you from me, and they really want to make friends with you. "
Friends?
Tan Xiu snorted inwardly, but on the surface, he maintained his composure and said, "Are they so confident that they can be friends with me?"
Long Zhengyu said with a smile, "There's a saying that the Heavens will not disappoint those who are willing. Whether we can be friends or not depends on our future interactions. Now, you just need to answer me. Are you willing to accept this deal? "
"Yes, why wouldn't I?!"
Tang Xiu raised his brows and spoke with a tone of affirmation.
Long Zhengyu took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he suddenly sensed something. He looked at Tan Xiu and asked, "You don't mind, do you?"
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "When do I need to give you the architectural design?"
Long Zhengyu said, "There's no hurry for the time being. The initial stage of the project requires two months of preparation. In a few days, we will enclose the land, and I will take you there to have a look. Then you can start drawing the design. Brother Tang, your mission is the key, don't let me down. "
"I won't let you down!"
Tan Xiu said lightly.
Since he was paid, he had to work for them.
For someone like Tang Xiu who pursued perfection, he would naturally try his best to design a qualified architectural design draft. However, he was also thinking about another issue — the replanning of Nine Dragons Island. In his opinion, the foreign tycoon's transformation of Nine Dragons Island was flawed. Most importantly, the nine spiritual veins were not properly utilized.
Nine Dragons Island was a treasured land with good Feng Shui, and he would never recklessly waste it.
Long Zhengyu recalled the design drawing drawn by Tan Xiu for Walled Hill Village, and the worry in his heart vanished in an instant. Since Tang Xiu dared to accept this business deal, he believed that he would be able to satisfy him. Even those two fellows would be shocked when the time came.
"I'm at ease with you handling it!"
Long Zhengyu affirmed.
"Is there anything else?" Tan Xiu asked.
Long Zhengyu forced a smile and said, "Brother Tang, you're asking me to leave! Alright, I won't bother you anymore since you have other things to do. Just wait for my news. I'll contact you once the land is delineated. "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu nodded.
After sending Long Zhengyu away, Tan Xiu went into the warehouse. He was eager to concoct the Golden Bell Liquid and strive to improve his cultivation.
This time, he had prepared sufficient materials. Whether it was the fierce beasts' bones or the purchased medicinal herbs, he could try it more than a dozen times.
Inside the warehouse, Tan Xiu came to the iron pot, poured half a pot of water, and began to boil the water. The concoction of the Golden Bell Liquid required a lot of boiling water. When the water was boiling, he put the fierce beasts' bones, teeth, tendons, and other materials into the water in order. When the water in the pot was nearly half boiled, he put several medicinal herbs into the iron pot.
The fierce beasts' bones were several times harder than those of ordinary wild beasts. It was reasonable to say that it would be very difficult to melt them in boiling water. However, the medicinal herbs Tang Xiu added had a very strong corrosive effect. He was a bit regretful that he had used up the Poisonous Demon Rattan he got last time, otherwise, the effect would be better.
"Add water!"
Half an hour later, only about two bowls of water were left in the half pot, and the color of the liquid had turned bright red. As Tan Xiu poured the water, he began to crush the Green Jade Essence into powder. When the liquid boiled again, he sprinkled the Green Jade Essence into it.
This time, without the stirring of the Poisonous Demon Rattan, Tan Xiu had already prepared a clean steel pipe. When he stirred the liquid, he put the remaining medicinal herbs into the iron pot in order. The color of the bright red liquid gradually began to change into an azure liquid with the addition of concentrated medicinal herbs.
Time passed again.
When there were only about two bowls of the azure liquid left, Tan Xiu's face showed a satisfied smile. He didn't expect that the first concoction of the Golden Bell Liquid would be so smooth. As long as he was careful, he could succeed in one try.
He took out the 500-year-old ginseng, broke it, and put it into the pot. When there was only about one bowl of the azure liquid left, he put the remaining half of the ginseng into it again.
The rich medicinal fragrance permeated the entire warehouse.
Because of the addition of the ginseng, the color of the liquid changed from blue to gold again. Specks of golden light sparkled in the medicinal liquid like they were alive, moving and mysterious.
"It's done!"
Tan Xiu's eyes lit up, his heartbeat accelerated, and his eyes burst with ecstasy. When there was only half a bowl of the Golden Bell Liquid left in the pot, Tan Xiu did not hesitate to take off all his clothes. He carefully scooped half a spoonful and poured it into his palm.
"Hiss …"
The hot golden liquid scalded Tan Xiu's skin. Fortunately, Tan Xiu's strong willpower was able to bear the high temperature and did not spill it out.
"Only by experiencing the bitterness can one become a superior person."
Tan Xiu's eyes flashed with madness, and then he did not hesitate to apply the Golden Bell Liquid in his palm to his body. The burning sensation made him suck in a breath of cold air, but he kept increasing the speed of his application. From his wrist, to his arm, then to his shoulder, neck, waist, legs, feet …
The Golden Bell Liquid was constantly consumed, and the area of application on Tan Xiu's body was constantly increasing. When the Golden Bell Liquid was about to be used up, Tan Xiu's whole body had been smeared. At this moment, if an outsider saw Tan Xiu, he would definitely cover his mouth with a fearful expression on his face.
His entire body was crimson, like a cooked shrimp. His skin was broken and his flesh was rotten. He was trembling violently, and every tendon of his body was bulging. The cold water in his body drilled out from the pores that had long been invisible, mixed with blood, and looked particularly terrible.
"There are two spoonfuls left!"
Tan Xiu was cruel to others, but he was even more cruel to himself. He took out two spoonfuls of the Golden Bell Liquid and smeared it on the two most vulnerable parts of his body, which were his lower body and neck.
"Roar …"
The heart-wrenching pain made Tan Xiu's eyes become blood red. The second time he smeared the Golden Bell Liquid, the pain was like adding oil to the fire, multiplying exponentially.
"Creak …"
The door of the storeroom was pushed open. Mu Qingping, wearing an apron, was holding a bowl of supper in her hand. When she stepped into the storeroom and saw Tan Xiu's appearance, her pupils violently contracted, her body trembled a bit, and the porcelain bowl in her hand fell to the ground, smashing into pieces.
If only!
If she had not recognized Tan Xiu, perhaps she would have already turned around and ran away.
At this moment, although Tan Xiu was naked, and even his lower body was as hard as iron, appearing magnificent and huge, Mu Qingping did not have the slightest embarrassment and shame. Her heartbeat accelerated because of Tan Xiu's miserable appearance. She had never seen a person who could be miserable and terrifying to such an extent.
Tan Xiu did not notice the arrival of Mu Qingping, he did not even hear the sound of the porcelain bowl being smashed. His mind was completely focused on his own body. While enduring the burning pain, according to the cultivation route of the "Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis", he crazily revolved the star force in his body.
The energy contained in the Golden Bell Liquid was like a tide washing Tan Xiu's body, and the star force revolved in his meridians, in coordination with the energy of the Golden Bell Liquid, wave after wave rushed to the surface of his body. The star force and the energy gradually fused, forming a special energy body. This energy body, in the cultivation state of the "Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis", nourished and repaired Tan Xiu's badly mutilated body.
Gradually.
The blood and cold water solidified, forming a blood scab.
In the invisible skin layer, the newly formed energy, in the process of repair and nourishment, was torn again and again, refined again and again.
As the saying goes: Thousands of times of tempering, a Divine Weapon will be forged.
Tan Xiu's skin layer was like a Divine Weapon that had been tempered thousands of times. Every time it was torn, it was repaired. Every time new energy surged, the flexibility and firmness of the skin were enhanced and transformed.
In the skin layer, it was cut open layer by layer.
But the surging of the new energy filled the empty place. As if the new energy was a part of Tan Xiu's body.
From the outside, Tan Xiu's body has been wrapped in a thick blood scab, like a heavy cocoon. Mu Qingping stood like a sculpture in the warehouse door, her eyes unblinkingly looking at Tan Xiu. She found that Tan Xiu's body was surrounded by a sparkling golden light, as if a Buddha had descended, full of sacred aura.
