Chapter 252

"This Song Fuli is a bit strange... is it my illusion?" Ning Zhuo's expression remained unchanged, but he thought secretly in his heart.

Song Fuli's action of glancing at him was not discovered by Ning Zhuo, but Ning Zhuo's heart lake still rippled, feeling a touch of subtle strangeness from Song Fuli.

Song Fuli then indicated to the two: "Our Cloud Merchants travel the world; every time we arrive at a place, in addition to selling specialties from the Flying Cloud Kingdom, we also purchase a large number of local specialties."

"Regarding this item, I want to cooperate with the two."

Song Fuli said this and first looked at Ning Zhuo: "Young Master Ning Zhuo, the mechanism fire-exploding monkey you personally researched and forged, our side is very interested in."

"This kind of mechanism monkey has low manufacturing costs, moves gently and accurately, and can perform dangerous picking operations like fire persimmons."

"Then, letting it enter other dangerous places to pick some strange flowers and grasses that are difficult for ordinary people to reach is also possible."

"I don't know if our side has this opportunity to purchase some mechanism fire-exploding monkeys from you?"

After Ning Zhuo heard this, he immediately showed a look of joy.

He didn't hesitate and nodded directly: "For me, this is of course a good thing! I am very happy to do this business with Senior Song."

Immediately, the two settled the transaction scale and price of this business in a few words.

After chatting about this business, Song Fuli said to Zhu Xuanji: "Lord Zhu, I intend to purchase the Night Rain Demon Soldier."

What he was referring to was naturally the one in Zheng Danlian's hands.

"I know that you have a very close relationship with the Zhou family, the Zheng family, and the Ning family."

"So please introduce me; I want to talk to the Zheng family's Jin Dan cultivator Zheng Danlian personally."

Zhu Xuanji thought about it and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Song Fuli smiled: "This is a little bit of my heart, just as a fee for the introduction."

Song Fuli said and took out a storage bag and handed it to Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji didn't take it, shook his head slightly, and pondered: "If this introduction fee is successful, I will accept it; if the business is not successful, then forget it."

After chatting for a while, Song Fuli left with Zhu Xuanji, leaving Ning Zhuo to continue shopping in the Cloud Market.

Zheng family.

Cultivation secret room.

Zheng Danlian was using a handkerchief to gently wipe the mechanism sickle in his hand.

In the dim secret room, the sickle was like a piece of black iron, completely immersed in the darkness, as still as a rock. It made people unable to connect it at all with the fierce power in the previous Jin Dan chaotic battle.

The door of the secret room was suddenly knocked.

Zheng Shuangou's voice came immediately: "Clan brother, Zhu Xuanji led the Cloud Merchant leader Song Fuli to visit you."

Zheng Danlian looked at the door; his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and a touch of irritability and disgust rose in his heart.

"Wait a moment, I'll be out." Zheng Danlian's voice was a bit hoarse, suppressing the slight unhappiness in his heart.

He stood up, carefully put away the mechanism sickle, and pushed the door out.

Not long after, he came to the reception hall.

Here, he saw Song Fuli and Zhu Xuanji.

Song Fuli stated his purpose for this trip bluntly, which was to purchase the mechanism sickle in Zheng Danlian's hands.

Zheng Danlian immediately frowned, showing a look of anger: "What? You actually want to purchase my Night Rain Demon Soldier!"

Zheng Danlian glared at Song Fuli and then turned his gaze to Zhu Xuanji on the side.

He was quite dissatisfied and said bluntly: "Lord Zhu, you personally led Lord Song to my place to purchase my mechanism sickle; what exactly do you mean?"

"Do you want me to sell this trouble as soon as possible to deal with the subsequent difficulties of the Grand Clarity Palace?"

"You must know that the reason why I and my Zheng family have fallen into such a predicament is entirely because we followed your orders and acted according to your plan."

Zhu Xuanji showed a look of shame and hurriedly said a few words to appease him.

Song Fuli also echoed a few words.

As a result, he was interrupted directly by Zheng Danlian: "Not for sale! This is my mechanism sickle; no matter how high a price you offer, I will not sell it!"

Zheng Danlian refused directly, his emotions becoming more and more irritable, and his tone was quite stiff.

Song Fuli didn't care, always smiling, his attitude gentle: "Then Brother Zheng, don't you want to listen to our offer?"

He then stated a high price.

This price indeed showed his sincerity in this purchase!

Even Zheng Shuangou on the side couldn't help but be secretly moved by this.

But Zheng Danlian's attitude was very firm, shaking his head repeatedly: "I said not for sale, so it's not for sale!"

Song Fuli said again: "Then I will change the way of purchasing."

"If your side can sell this Night Rain Demon Soldier, then our side will step forward to mediate the conflict between the Zheng family and the Grand Clarity Palace; perhaps it can solve the predicament your family is facing now."

When this was said, Zheng Shuangou immediately showed a look of great interest: "Fellow Daoist Song, please tell me in detail."

Song Fuli said: "The two must know that I am only purchasing on behalf of others. The person who really wants to buy the Night Rain Demon Soldier is those great power cultivators."

"These people are all existences at the Transformation Spirit or Void Refinement level."

"If I report the detailed situation here, perhaps it can move them to step forward to mediate."

"Actually, many things are as heavy as mountains to you and me, but to these existences, perhaps it is just a matter of a word."

There was a silence in the hall.

Zheng Danlian sneered: "If it weren't for the Jin Dan true disciple of the Grand Clarity Palace disguising himself as a demonic cultivator, how could I have killed him?"

"If it is handled this way, let me take the initiative to abandon the sharp weapon that my clan has painstakingly prepared for many years!"

"And then compromise with the Grand Clarity Palace through a certain great power cultivator."

"Then what about our previous efforts?"

"Does the death of the Jin Dan true disciple of the Grand Clarity Palace have to be borne entirely by my Zheng family?"

"Isn't the fault on himself?"

"As a result, until now, it is us, us righteous cultivators who slay demons and eliminate demons, who have to pay a heavy price; is this the principle of the righteous path?"

A series of questions made the silence in the hall appear even heavier.

Seeing that everyone was silent for a long time, Zheng Danlian stood up, waved his sleeves, and sneered: "We don't see eye to eye; see the guests out!"

After speaking, he left the venue directly.

He returned to the cultivation secret room alone and continued to take out the mechanism sickle to wipe it carefully.

Zheng Shuangou showed a look of embarrassment and sent Zhu Xuanji and Song Fuli to the main entrance.

He bowed and apologized, making up for Zheng Danlian: "After this incident, my clan brother has been indignant."

"To tell you the truth, I especially understand him."

"Because, ever since he obtained the incomplete Night Rain Demon Soldier and the mechanism blueprint eight years ago, he has been determined to build this weapon."

"He worked hard for eight years, which can be said to be painstaking, paid a lot of time and energy, and finally, because the timing was ripe recently, he crossed the last step and succeeded in forging it."

"This is more than just a mechanism weapon?! More accurately, this is his hard work for eight years."

"Now that he has to purchase his hard work all at once, and for such a reason, it is indeed difficult for him to accept for a while."

Song Fuli hurriedly expressed his understanding and also indicated that his request for this transaction still counted. If Zheng Danlian's intention changed in the future, he could contact him immediately.

Song Fuli left first.

Leaving Zhu Xuanji to communicate with Zheng Shuangou alone.

Zhu Xuanji sighed deeply and told him the truth: "I have already written to the royal family."

"To tell you the truth, I can't make the decision for the current situation. It's not that I am willing to protect you, and I can protect you."

"I believe Brother Zheng and your clan brother are also well aware of this situation."

"Assuming, I mean assuming, the result of the royal family's letter is not good."

"I think this line of Cloud Merchant Song Fuli is also a route that the Zheng family can strive to grasp."

"It is precisely because of this that I introduced it on his behalf."

Zheng Shuangou nodded repeatedly and bowed to Zhu Xuanji: "Lord Zhu's sincere intention, I can understand; thank you, thank you."

Zhu Xuanji showed a look of shame, nodded slightly to him, and turned to leave.

In the cultivation secret room.

Zheng Danlian had been wiping the mechanism demon soldier for a long time.

He stretched out his palm and gently stroked the Night Rain Demon Soldier, his face showing deep affection and obsession.

His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes.

The bloodshot eyes became denser and denser, finally turning into a smear of red light, lingering at the bottom of his eyes.

"By the way." Zhu Xuanji, who was about to leave, stopped and turned back.

"If Brother Zheng Danlian is still unwilling to give up this demon soldier, and the royal family is unwilling to take action..."

"Perhaps, I can still help you."

"I want to ask, how did you get the information about this demon soldier?"

Zheng Shuangou thought about it and told Zhu Xuanji: "About eight years ago, when my clan brother entered the Immortal Palace, he killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"At that time, this Foundation Establishment cultivator was holding a mechanism sickle, like a madman, slashing and killing innocent cultivators indiscriminately."

"My clan brother couldn't stand it, upheld justice, took action on the spot to kill him, and thus obtained the incomplete mechanism demon soldier and a complete mechanism blueprint."

Zhu Xuanji nodded and said he wanted to borrow this mechanism blueprint; I wonder if it is possible.

Zheng Shuangou nodded: "This blueprint was made public long ago when forging the mechanism black snake. We have already backed it up many times; it is also possible for Lord Zhu to borrow it now."

Immediately, Zheng Shuangou ordered people to take the blueprint from the clan treasury.

Zhu Xuanji asked again: "Besides this mechanism blueprint, are there any other things?"

"I have mastered the Root-Tracing Art; the more relevant objects, the better."

"Perhaps, I can follow the vine to find the melon and investigate something."

Zheng Shuangou shook his head: "Eight years have passed; even if something was left at that time, it wouldn't be left until now."
