Report

Some people were said to be "smart all their lives, but sometimes muddle-headed", and Tan Xiu was in such a situation at the moment. Mo Awen's reminder made him realize that he and the others were all cultivators, and they could fly extremely fast even if they were to ride a flying sword on the sea. Additionally, he could also refine some communication jade slips so that the transmission wouldn't be affected even if they were to encounter an electromagnetic storm.

"You're right."

Tan Xiu nodded and then said, "Where's Long Zhengyu? Invite him here, I have something to discuss with him. "

"Understood!"

Jin Shi, who was at the side, immediately strode away.

A few minutes later.

Jin Shi brought Long Zhengyu here. When he saw Tan Xiu, he immediately said, "Brother Tang, are we on the same side?"

Tan Xiu squinted his eyes and nodded. "We're on the same side, and we have a good relationship."

"Since we're on the same side, can you teach me how to cultivate?" asked Long Zhengyu. "I used to be a frog in a well and didn't know that there were people like you in this world. Now that I know, I want to be like you, flying in the sky and burrowing into the earth with outstanding martial prowess. "

Tan Xiu had long guessed Long Zhengyu's thoughts, and his words were also within Tan Xiu's expectations. After giving it a thought, he said, "I'm sure you're aware of the current situation here, Long Zhengyu. We may have killed those two wizards, but the problem hasn't been completely solved yet. The powerhouses of the Celestial Wizard clan may come here at any time. We're facing a formidable enemy, so I'll put aside the matter of teaching you cultivation for now. I'll definitely teach you a cultivation technique and help you embark on the path of cultivation after we completely solve the crisis brought by the Celestial Wizard clan. "

Long Zhengyu was pleasantly surprised upon hearing it. "No problem. I'll listen to you, Brother Tang. Also, I can't help you with martial prowess, but if you need anything else, just tell me. I'll do my best to help you as long as it's within my capabilities. "

"I need to speed up the reconstruction project," said Tan Xiu. "It's best if we can finish it within half a month. I still have a big plan to implement after all the construction teams on the island are evacuated. "

Long Zhengyu was confused. "What big plan?"

Tan Xiu said, "Don't worry about these things for the time being. You just need to tell me, can it be completed in half a month?"

Long Zhengyu pondered for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "If we work overtime, we can definitely complete it within half a month."

Tan Xiu nodded and said, "I told you on the phone to bring me a batch of jade when you pass by Hong Kong. Did you bring them all?"

Long Zhengyu stared blankly for a moment before replying, "I did bring some, but I heard from Hao Lei, the person in charge of Grand Fortune Jewelry, that she hasn't collected enough jade stones yet."

Tan Xiu took out his phone and dialed Hao Lei's number.

"Boss."

Hao Lei's anxious voice came from the phone.

"What's the situation on your side?" asked Tan Xiu in a deep voice. You still haven't gathered all the jades I need? "

Hao Lei forced a smile and said, "Boss, I should have gathered them, but something unexpected happened. Some people are also buying jade stones on a large scale, causing the price of jade stones to keep rising. Our Grand Fortune Jewelry made a lot of money from the batch of jade stones you gave me. But the price of the jade stones keeps rising. If we buy them on a large scale at this time, the money we earned will be reinvested. It's tantamount to us working for nothing. "

"Who is also buying jade stones on a large scale?" asked Tan Xiu.

"I've sent someone to investigate it. It's Li Juren from Hong Kong," said Hao Lei.

Li Juren?

Tan Xiu frowned and looked puzzled. Li Juren was just an ordinary person. Even his lifespan was increased by buying pills from him. Why would he buy jade stones on a large scale? Since he couldn't figure it out, Tan Xiu decided to call him directly. But before that, he told Hao Lei to hurry up and buy jade stones even if the price was higher.

Hong Kong.

Li Juren was in his company's office, reading a stack of documents in his hand. In front of him were two middle-aged men in Chinese tunic suits, each carrying a long sword on their back, looking straight at him.

"Alas!"

After a long time, Li Juren put down the stack of documents in his hand. He looked up at the two middle-aged men and said with a wry smile, "With all due respect, I really can't gather all the jade materials you need in a short time. After all, the quantity you need is too large. Also, the price has been soaring due to the shortage of jade materials in the market. It has almost reached the tipping point in the past. "

The middle-aged man standing on the left shook his head and said, "We don't care about the price, Mr. Li. Money is nothing in our eyes. We're in urgent need of a large number of jade materials, so we hope you can help us. Your grandson has become a registered disciple of our sect, and your Li family will also have a cultivator in the future. We've already expressed our sincerity. "

Li Juren's eyes fell back to the stack of documents on the table. Some of the contents recorded on it made him cautious because it was related to the Grand Fortune Jewelry of Hong Kong. Others might not know who owned the Grand Fortune Jewelry, but he knew it very well.

Now.

The Grand Fortune Jewelry was buying jade materials on a large scale, presumably because Tan Xiu urgently needed them. If he were to compete with Tan Xiu for raw jade materials at this time, he would probably offend him. But if he didn't compete with the Grand Fortune Jewelry for raw jade materials in the market, he wouldn't be able to fulfill his agreement with the two men in front of him.

What a headache!

Li Juren rubbed his temples and was about to speak when his mobile phone on the table suddenly rang. He swallowed back the words he wanted to say and looked at the number on the screen. His expression suddenly moved.

Tan Xiu?

He's calling me now. It should be because his people have also investigated that I'm the one buying raw jade materials in the market, right?

Thinking up to this point, Li Juren immediately looked at the two middle-aged men in Chinese tunics and said, "Can you give me some time to think of a solution? I'll invite you to the Everlasting Feast Hall tonight, and I'll give you an answer when the time comes. How about it? "

The two middle-aged men looked at each other and immediately nodded. They refused Li Juren's invitation and directly left the office.

"Hello, Tan Xiu."

Li Juren answered the phone and spoke.

"Elder Li, I need an explanation from you," asked Tan Xiu.

"I know what you want me to explain, Tan Xiu," said Li Juren with a forced smile. "I hope you won't take offense to this matter. I didn't know that your Grand Fortune Jewelry was buying raw jade materials in a large scale. Two mysterious people came to my place ten days ago. Their real identity is cultivators, but I still don't know their origin. I made a deal with them. They accepted my grandson as a disciple and obtained a cultivation technique, while I need to help them buy raw jade materials. Just before I picked up your call, they were still standing in front of me, asking me for raw jade materials. "

"You really don't know their identity?" asked Tan Xiu. "What do they need raw jade materials for?"

"I really don't know," said Li Juren.

Tan Xiu was silent for a moment and then said, "Elder Li, I'm in urgent need of raw jade materials now. I must gather enough raw jade materials within 15 days to carry out my major plan. Therefore, I hope you can give up on buying them. As compensation, I can teach your Li Family a cultivation technique. "

Li Juren's eyes lit up. He could hear the hidden meaning in Tan Xiu's words. The two previous cultivators only promised to accept his grandson as an in-name disciple. They even had a condition that forbade his grandson from teaching the cultivation technique to outsiders. But Tang Xiu's words didn't mean that. He said that he would impart a cultivation art to the Li Family. Once the Li Family obtained it, they would have the final say on who wanted to cultivate it.

One person!

One family!

Li Juren made a decision in an instant and said in a deep voice, "Tan Xiu, I've given most of the raw jade materials I bought to them, but a small part is still stored in the warehouse of my Li Family. I'll send some people to secretly send those raw jade materials to Chief Hao of the Grand Fortune Jewelry. Also, I'll give up on buying raw jade materials and won't sell them for at least half a month. "

"Thank you, Elder Li," said Tan Xiu with a satisfied smile. "I'll treat you to a drink to express my gratitude when I return to Hong Kong."

"We're friends, and I've gotten great benefits from you before, so this is nothing," said Li Juren with a smile. * * *

Nine Dragons Island.

After hanging up the phone, Tan Xiu looked at Mo Awu and said, "Call Xiaoxue and tell her to tell Ji Chimei to give up the matter of the headquarters in Jingmen Island and rush to Nine Dragons Island. My current strength is still too low. I'm afraid I won't be able to fight against Nascent Soul Stage experts if they come. This is our base, so I need her to take command. "

"Understood!"

Mo Awu nodded.

The next day.

Tang Guang and Tang An escorted Singluen, the petite woman, and the five guardian elders of Singluen to Nine Dragons Island. Tan Xiu received them and arranged them to stay in a built area on the island. However, he didn't report the situation on Nine Dragons Island to avoid trouble. He even asked them to stay in that small area and not stroll around the island at will.

The third day.

A group of core experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall arrived, totaling more than 80 people. Under Tan Xiu's arrangement, they were scattered all over the island and were responsible for security. However, he took advantage of this time to teach them a lot of spells in order to prepare for the upcoming battle. As for how many spells they could master in a short period of time, Tan Xiu didn't know.

Additionally …

Tan Xiu also sent a group of peripheral members of the Everlasting Feast Hall and ordered them to be stationed on 16 deserted islands within 200 nautical miles around the island. They were responsible for monitoring the situation in the surrounding waters and immediately report to him once any suspicious ships or people appeared.

Time flew by.

Fourteen days passed in the blink of an eye. When the first ray of sunlight rose from the east in the morning, Tan Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the top of the palace in cultivation, heard Long Zhengyu's shout below.
