A smile appeared on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth as he hung up the phone. He had received a call from the old man on his way back from Mist Source Island, informing him that a special big shot wanted to see him. He didn't expect that the old man would call him now and suddenly want to meet him tomorrow.
Others might not know the identity of that person, but he was very clear about it. He was someone who controlled a large number of ability users in the country. Although he didn't have a high and mighty identity on the surface, the power he had was not small. However, there was one thing he couldn't figure out. Why did he send a Chinese ability user to solve the problem of Mist Source Island?
Tomorrow's meeting must not be at the Everlasting Feast Hall because its existence is still a secret to many people. Also, the old man should have received the news, but I don't know if he will come with me.
Sure enough.
A few minutes later, his mobile phone rang. It was a call from the old man, Tang Guosheng. The old man told him that he would accompany that big shot to Jingmen Island tomorrow and that he would stay at the Guomao Hotel. As for when he would meet him, he would wait for further notice.
After the call, Tang Xiu put this matter to the back of his mind. He would deal with tomorrow's matter tomorrow. He still had a lot of precious medicinal herbs in his interspatial ring. Taking advantage of the time he had in Jingmen Island, he wanted to seize every minute and second to refine a batch of medicinal pills in case of emergency.
The next evening.
Tan Xiu was refining a furnace of Essence Amassing Pills when Gu Xiaoxue hurriedly came in from the outside with his mobile phone and respectfully said, "Your grandfather is calling, Grand Master."
Tan Xiu slightly furrowed his brows and said, "I'm at a critical moment in my alchemy, so it's not convenient for me to be distracted for the time being. Tell him to wait for me for two or three hours. I'll call him back after I'm done with my work. "
"Understood!"
Gu Xiaoxue replied and turned to walk outside.
Jingmen Island.
Inside the presidential suite of the World Trade Hotel, Tang Guosheng hung up the phone with an embarrassed expression. He looked at Duanmu Lin, who was still in high spirits and had a ruddy complexion. He forced a smile and said, "That little bastard's wings have hardened. He doesn't even want to pick up my call in time. His grand-disciple just told me that he's at a critical moment in refining a furnace of medicinal pills. I'm afraid it will take him two or three hours to finish. "
"Alchemy?"
Duanmu Lin's spirit was shaken, and he said without hesitation, "Refining pills is an important matter, naturally I can't easily disturb you. Let's just wait. "
Tang Guosheng looked puzzled and asked, "I really don't get it. Why did you come all the way to Jingmen Island? If you want to see him, tell him to go to the Imperial Capital. I believe that if he knew that you were the one who asked him to go, he would definitely rush over without stopping. "
Duanmu Lin smiled and said, "I need to show my sincerity."
"Sincerity? What do you mean? "
Tang Guosheng asked again.
Duanmu Lin smiled and said, "I met him personally because … I wanted to ask for a pill."
Tang Guosheng frowned and said, "Asking for pills? Do you still want to live forever? "
Duanmu Lin shook his head and said, "I don't dare to think about immortality, but I can still live for a few more years. According to a reliable source, Old Man Lee from Hong Kong had obtained ten Life Essence Pills. I heard from the old woman living in seclusion in the Imperial Capital that the Life Essence Pill can increase one's lifespan. Even if one's lifespan is exhausted, it can still buy a few more years from the Grim Reaper. Although that old woman said that I can live for at least ten more years, getting a Life Essence Pill can be considered as a precaution! "
Tang Guosheng's complexion greatly changed. He never dreamed that his grandson could actually refine a Life Essence Pill that could increase one's lifespan. Every moment in the country, there were old people passing away due to the exhaustion of their lifespan. Even big shots like him, who held great power, would not be an exception in the future.
Suddenly …
A strange light flashed in Tang Guosheng's eyes. No wonder this person spared no effort to rush all the way to Jingmen Island to see my grandson. It turns out that he has something to ask of me!
Hahaha!
This is great! Even if my precious grandson doesn't take this opportunity to fish for benefits, I believe this person will not treat him unfairly. Even my Tang Family …
Tang Guosheng was very happy inwardly. If it weren't for this person in front of him, he would have looked up to the sky and laughed heartily.
At midnight, Tan Xiu hurried to the World Trade Hotel. Although Duanmu Lin came quietly, the security was still very tight. After several identity checks and Duanmu Lin's order, Tan Xiu smoothly arrived at the presidential suite.
"You brat, you're too good at putting on airs! Making us old people wait until now is really … annoying. " Although Tang Guosheng was very excited and satisfied to see his grandson, he still deliberately reprimanded him with a straight face.
Duanmu Lin smiled and waved his hand, "Old Tang, it's good for young people to have some things to do. You don't need to lecture this kid. He's very good. He's really very good. The matter in Mist Source Island was solved very well. I was just organizing my words to praise him. "
A smile appeared on Tang Guosheng's face as he pointed to Duanmu Lin and said, "This is Duanmu Lin. You can call him Grandpa Duanmu."
Tan Xiu looked at Duanmu Lin and smilingly said, "Tan Xiu is flattered that you came to Jingmen Island from thousands of miles away. There are only a few people in the country who deserve my respect, but you're definitely one of them. "
Duanmu Lin smiled and said, "Not bad. I just found another good point of yours. You know how to flatter."
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing. He didn't have any restraint in front of Duanmu Lin. However, he was, after all, a big shot nowadays, so Tan Xiu didn't want to be too casual. He humbly said a few words and then asked, "You didn't come to Jingmen Island just to praise me, did you? Is there something else? "
After Tan Xiu entered the room, Duanmu Lin smelled the herbal medicine scent coming from Tan Xiu's body. Therefore, it could be said that Tan Xiu was really concocting medicinal pills today. Facing Tan Xiu's inquiry, he didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile, "You're right. In fact, I came here to ask something from you personally."
"What is it?" asked Tan Xiu.
"One Life Essence Pill," said Duanmu Lin.
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment before he forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. It seems that it was Li Juren who leaked it! I still have a few Life Essence Pills here, but I prepared them for my loved ones. But since you asked, I'll give them to you first. After all, you've been working hard for the country. "
After saying that, Tan Xiu put his hand into his pocket and took out a jade bottle from his interspatial ring. He handed it to Duanmu Lin and continued, "This is the Life Essence Pill. Taking one can increase your lifespan by three to five years."
Duanmu Lin was shocked inwardly. He took the jade bottle with both hands and looked at it for a long time. Then, he said with satisfaction, "Everyone wants to live a few more years. Tan Xiu, you have a special identity, so I'm afraid you won't be interested in money. How about this? I'll give you an opportunity. Don't you cultivators always talk about 'opportunities'? "
Tan Xiu stared blankly and asked with a confused expression, "What kind of opportunity?"
"A three-star vestige," said Duanmu Lin slowly.
"What's a three-star vestige?" asked Tan Xiu.
Duanmu Lin said, "Aliens once appeared on Earth. Although this is a very important secret, and very few people know about this information, you are not an outsider. I can responsibly tell you that some of the aliens came with malice, and some with kindness. According to the laws and regulations of the world, the vestige found by humans is divided into different grades. They are a one-star vestige, a two-star vestige, a three-star vestige, a four-star vestige, and a five-star vestige.
"Even I have never heard of a five-star vestige. Four-star vestige has appeared twice. The first one was in the Egyptian pyramids, and the second one was in the Bermuda Triangle. Every country has obtained a good harvest in these two vestige explorations. But the most important secret has never been cracked. In addition, due to special reasons, the exploration of the two vestige ended without a conclusion.
"A three-star vestige is also a fatal temptation for every country. In the past 20 to 30 years, the science and technology of every country has developed rapidly, and there is no lack of technological products from the vestige. Even the M Nation found a dilapidated alien spaceship in the Amazon rainforest, which eventually made the M Nation's scientific and technological power advance by leaps and bounds, making it a powerful country in the world.
"As for the two-star vestige and one-star vestige, they are small ones. Some were left by the ancestors on Earth, and some were extraterrestrial vestige. So the gains gained by each country from them are not particularly big."
As Duanmu Lin spoke up to this point, a bit of helplessness appeared in his eyes. He forced a smile and said, "Although I said I'm giving you an opportunity, I actually want you to contribute to the country. In the newly discovered three-star vestige, you can get a lot of extraterrestrial technology to make our country more powerful."
Tan Xiu had little interest in extraterrestrial technology. After all, he was an immortal cultivator. In the future, he would rely on his own strength to shatter the void, break the shackles of the Heavenly Way, and eventually ascend to become an immortal.
However …
After listening to Duanmu Lin's words, he still decided to go there. It was because he needed to make money now. If he could get extraterrestrial technology, he would be able to make a lot of money, which would help him greatly in terms of cultivation and resources in the future.
"Can you tell me about the newly discovered three-star vestige?"
"The location is in the Strait of Malacca, which is known as the 'Crossroads of the Sea'," said Duanmu Lin. "The Strait of Malacca runs from southeast to northwest. Its western section belongs to the Myanmar Sea, while its southeastern section is connected to the South China Sea. The entire strait is 1,080 kilometers long, with the southeastern strait connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The newly discovered three-star vestige is at this junction, and it's located at the bottom of the sea. "
"What kind of people will be sent by each country to explore the three-star vestige in such a place?" Tan Xiu was surprised.
"For example, our country will at least send martial arts grandmasters and ability users there," said Duanmu Lin with a solemn expression. "In fact, the number of people has already been assembled, and we're just waiting to arrive at the destination before May 1st. Other countries will also send a lot of people with special abilities. I don't know what kind of people will be sent this time, but I'm sure that none of them will be ordinary people. "
