"Sir, your consciousness is …"
Xu Xingzhi had to be cautious about the Reincarnation Elixir.
Mr. Dark Cloud smiled faintly. "In this world, not many people can afford my price."
In fact, there was no such thing as the Reincarnation Elixir.
Healing Cao Feng, Hui Tianyu, Chen Jiezhi, and the others was an ability provided by Zhang Dongyun's system as the City Lord.
The elixir was just a facade to cover up the real situation.
If the so-called elixir was really bought and taken out of the city, the truth would be exposed immediately.
But the problem was, would Castellan Zhang give the other party a chance?
The Reincarnation Elixir could be used to describe the Reincarnation Elixir.
In short, if one bought it and took it on the spot, the elixir would dissipate after a while. There would be no time to take it out of the city.
If anyone wanted to try and fly out, Master Zhang wouldn't mind teaching him who had the final say in Chang 'an.
On the other hand, just as Mr. Dark Cloud said, such a miraculous elixir would naturally be sold at a sky-high price. Few people in the Eastern Tang or even the world could afford it.
Even so, as long as the "efficacy" of the elixir could be proven, buyers would still rush to buy it.
"I understand. With this treasure, the name of Chang 'an will soon spread all over the world." Xu Xingzhi bowed respectfully.
Wu Qiong, the head of the Perak Dynasty, who was in charge of Xi City, was envious.
This was equivalent to Mr. Dark Cloud personally supporting East City.
However, if the name of Chang 'an City could be widely spread as soon as possible, Xi City could more or less benefit from it.
The Reincarnation Pill was something that only high-level cultivators could afford. Mortals couldn't even think about it, and neither could his West City.
I'd better think about how to persuade the Cold Mountain Sect to lend me a hand in developing Xi City. "
While Wu Qiong was thinking about the Hanshan school, the head of the Hanshan school, Guo Zi, was even more envious.
Xu Xingzhi was in charge of the East Market.
The Hanshan school itself did not place much hope on this side.
Guo Zi had thought that the Chen family would be in charge of the East Market.
Although the Chen family had declined, they were once a famous family in Eastern Tang. They had interacted with the high-level Cultivators of various Eastern Tang sects and had a wide network of connections.
The Hanshan school, which was located in the secluded Longbei Prefecture, could not compare to the other party in this aspect.
The Chen family didn't win the bid this time. It might have something to do with the fact that their leader, Chen Jiezhi, had left Chang 'an, so they missed this crucial task.
Xu Xingzhi was from the White Horse College. Although he had been expelled, he still had connections with other forces.
With Xu Xingzhi and the Chen family in front of them, the Hanshan school had never expected to get the job of managing the East Market.
But Xi City was based on ordinary people, and now it was mainly based on the people in Chang 'an. The Hanshan school, as a local snake, had a big advantage.
But this job fell into the hands of Wu Qiong of the Perak Dynasty, which made Guo Zi feel a little disappointed.
But he quickly adjusted his mentality.
The Hanshan school now had many disciples distributed in many key departments in Chang 'an. They had been put in important positions.
Mr. Dark Cloud was promoting Wu Qiong and the Perak Dynasty. He hoped that the various forces in Chang 'an would be balanced.
Guo Zi let out a long breath.
The more the situation was like this, the more the Hanshan school had to be calm. They couldn't have any objections because of this. Otherwise, they might leave a bad impression in Mr. Dark Cloud's mind.
The cleaner they were, the more down-to-earth they would be in the work at hand. Mr. Dark Cloud would know what to do.
When Wu Qiong of the Perak Dynasty came to him for help, hoping to make Xi City prosperous, Guo Zi didn't refuse and agreed immediately.
Moreover, he didn't try to secretly fight with Wu Qiong for power.
With the cooperation of the Hanshan school and the Perak Dynasty, Chang 'an West Market gradually became lively.
More and more local merchants in Qinzhou and foreign enemies began to come and go in and out of Longling.
Li Dang and the others were wiped out, which shocked the Eastern Tang again.
More than half of Longbei County near Longling changed their expressions when they talked about Chang 'an.
The Hanshan school and the Perak Dynasty finally took the opportunity to expand.
Inside and outside Longbei County, the Eastern Tang Dynasty began to lose control of more and more places.
In the face of the expanding forces in Chang 'an, most of the Eastern Tang official forces didn't dare to have a conflict with them and were forced to give way again and again.
The blockade that the Eastern Tang previously imposed on Qinzhou was completely broken.
Merchants came and went, and the news spread. More and more people knew that a city of Chang 'an had appeared in Eastern Tang. It stood in Longling and forced the Eastern Tang to give way.
Wu Qiong and Guo Zi made Chang 'an West Market prosper day by day.
On the other hand, Xu Xingzhi, who was in charge of the East Market, seemed to be in no hurry.
He didn't advertise with the Reincarnation Elixir, nor did he rush to recruit customers. He just carefully selected his subordinates first.
He entered Chang 'an alone and didn't have any trusted disciples. At this moment, everything was starting from scratch.
He seemed to be careless, but in fact, he had a well-thought-out plan.
After straightening out the personnel issues, Xu Xingzhi wrote a letter and sent it out of Chang 'an.
After the letter was sent out, Xu Xingzhi was still as slow as before.
He didn't have any new customers, so he first set his sights on the cultivators in his city.
This included Guo Zi, Wu Qiong, and the others in West Market.
Everyone was not very enthusiastic about this.
If there was a need, they could trade with each other privately.
Xu Xingzhi didn't ask Mr. Dark Cloud to force the cultivators in the city to trade through the market.
Right now, he had invited Guo Zi and the others as if it was just a convenient way to pass the time.
But after some time, a new customer came to Chang 'an.
It was the head of the Tingshan Academy, Li Zhibin.
Tingshan Academy was one of the three major academies in Eastern Tang. It had always been known as the White Horse College and Songyang Academy.
In recent years, it had been suppressed by the Eastern Tang royalty and was at odds with the White Horse College and Songyang Academy. Therefore, it was a little weak.
But its foundation was still there, and it was worthy of being called the holy land of Confucianism.
"Mr. Li, how have you been?" Xu Xingzhi greeted Li Zhibin and the others in Tingshan Academy.
"Xingzhi, how have you been?"
Li Zhibin held Xu Xingzhi, who was about to bow, and looked him up and down. "You look high-spirited, and the weight in your chest has been lifted. Is it good to stay here?"
"This place is very different from Luyang City." Xu Xingzhi said, "Mr. Li and everyone else, why don't you stay here for a few days? You will know that what I said is true."
"Of course, I can trust your words. However, the current situation is very unpredictable."
Li Zhibin sighed. "I can go anywhere in the world if I'm alone, but the academy is still in Tingshan."
Xu Xingzhi nodded and did not try to persuade him. "Mr. Li, you can take a look in the city and go back to discuss with Dean Wan."
Li Zhibin nodded and asked, "Xingzhi, the elixir you mentioned in your letter?"
Xu Xingzhi said, "There is indeed such a thing. I can't describe its wonders with words. Mr. Li, you will know that I'm not lying when you see it with your own eyes."
"Of course I trust your words." Li Zhibin sighed softly.
He coughed, and the students beside him carried a person out of the carriage.
It was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. His eyes were closed, and his face was pale. He looked as if he was hanging on to his last breath.
"Jun'er has been in a coma for seven years. I've tried everything and asked all the famous doctors, but I still can't wake him up."
Li Zhibin looked sad. "In the past two years, his breathing has been getting weaker and weaker. I see that hope is fading. Even if there is only a little hope, I can only try."
He looked at Xu Xingzhi. "Xingzhi, please do it. I'll be grateful if you can save him or not."
"Mr. Li, you're too kind."
Xu Xingzhi led the way and led everyone into the East Market.
"The elixir belongs to Chang 'an. Although I'm temporarily in charge of the East Market, I'm also looking for a buyer for this Reincarnation Elixir. I've mentioned it to Mr. Li in the letter before …"
Xu Xingzhi looked at him curiously.
Li Zhibin nodded. "I understand. It won't be difficult."
The four young men behind him took a step forward.
The four of them each held an item in their arms.
"A Thunder Light Brush made of Suanni's hair, ink made of meteorite ash, paper made of Ziwei Divine Bamboo, and an inkstone made of Northern Underworld Jade."
Li Zhibin looked at his only son on the stretcher. "Thank you, Dean, for helping me find these treasures. I hope they can save Jun'er's life."
"Brother Li, heaven helps the worthy." After Xu Xingzhi comforted Li Zhibin, he took the ink, paper, and inkstone and went to ask for instructions from Mr. Dark Cloud.
Zhang Dongyun sat leisurely in the Daming Palace.
As soon as they entered the Invincible City, he knew what they brought and instantly understood the value of the items.
But to a Confucian cultivator, they were indeed priceless.
As for whether they were worth the Reincarnation Pill, it was up to the individual to decide.
However, to Zhang Dongyun, it was not important whether the items were of equal value.
"Are you using me to do a favor?"
Mr. Dark Cloud looked at Xu Xingzhi with a faint smile.
It was good that the other party had pulled in a big client.
But Tingshan Academy had been keeping a low profile in recent years. They studied behind closed doors and rarely stirred up trouble.
Even if the Reincarnation Pill cured Li Zhibin's son, would he dare to tell others that it was the effect of the elixir in Chang 'an?
Eastern Tang royalty. He was worried that he could not find a chance to deal with Tingshan Academy.
"Sir, please listen."
Xu Xingzhi said solemnly, "Mr. Li has other channels to keep Tingshan Academy a secret and spread the news of the Reincarnation Pill."
"The truth …" Zhang Dongyun's expression did not change. Mr. Dark Cloud's face was expressionless. He just looked at Xu Xingzhi quietly.
Xu Xingzhi said, "Mr. Li and Mr. Lao in Beining are sworn friends. He can spread the news through Mr. Lao. Mr. Lao will keep it a secret for him."
This so-called Mister Lao was one of the few demonic experts in the Eastern Tang.
Except for a few people, the outside world did not know that the headmaster of Tingshan Academy was a close friend of a great demon.
Li Zhibin trusted Mr. Lao. Not only did he trust that Mr. Lao could help him spread the news of the Reincarnation Pill, but he also trusted that Mr. Lao could hide the relationship between Tingshan Academy and Chang 'an.
"It's too complicated," Mr. Dark Cloud looked at Xu Xingzhi indifferently. "The more links there are, the easier it is for problems to arise."
