Chapter 803: disappeared from the spot
It was already very difficult for Zhao Xing to persist for such a long time.
If he continued to fight,
it would really be dangerous.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and then prepared to retreat.
Just at this moment, a commotion broke out outside the carriage.
It turned out that someone had come to visit.
Zhao Xing frowned; he had just arrived in Jiangyang County.
Could it be that a force had already come knocking?
"Your Majesty, no need to worry, this servant will go and take a look!"
Cao Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.
"Hmm, good!"
Liu Zheng nodded.
Then, Cao Cao Zhengchun disappeared from the spot.
And following his actions,
very quickly, Cao Cao Zhengchun returned.
Only to see him with a full smile at this moment.
He said.
"Your Majesty, it is the Deputy Hall Master of the Elixir Hall who wishes to see Your Majesty; how do you wish to handle this?"
Cao Cao Zhengchun said cautiously.
After all, the Elixir Hall was an existence that all the major forces in Jiangnan needed to curry favor with.
"Oh, invite the other party in!"
Zhao Xing said indifferently.
The name of the Elixir Hall floated in his mind.
For an alchemist, this was an object that must be won over.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After hearing the order, Cao Cao Zhengchun dared not be negligent and retreated respectfully.
A moment later,
a middle-aged man walked in.
The other party was wearing a golden robe, giving people a feeling of immense majesty.
It was none other than the Deputy Hall Master of the Elixir Hall.
A smile was on his face.
He said slowly.
"Your Majesty, this commoner Li Fu greets Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, he bowed.
"Rise; I have summoned you all here today, is there any matter!"
Zhao Xing asked with a smile.
He and this Li Fu could be considered old acquaintances.
They had talked several times in the Elixir Palace before.
Therefore, Zhao Xing's voice carried a gentle tone.
And Li Fu did not stand on ceremony.
He said directly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this commoner has come this time because I have a big business deal I want to cooperate with Your Majesty on!"
"Oh, I'd like to hear the details!"
Zhao Xing said with interest.
"Your Majesty, our Elixir Hall sells a batch of elixirs every year, but they are always in short supply, so we hope Your Majesty can provide some support!"
Li Fu said directly.
Afterward, he stared intently at Zhao Xing.
He wanted to know if the other party would agree.
"Hehe, your Elixir Hall has sales of hundreds of millions of spirit stones every year.
How could you lack resources? Tell me, what do you need, and I will send someone to deliver it!" Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Clearly, this was his usual tactic.
"Your Majesty, our Elixir Hall wants to build a branch hall, but we lack materials.
I ask Your Majesty to provide them!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing's brows could not help but furrow.
He naturally knew that this Elixir Hall was an organization specializing in refining elixirs.
The other party's alchemy level was absolutely peerless.
If such a branch hall were built,
it could be considered a good thing for the Great Han.
Therefore, he said immediately.
"Alright, tell me how!"
Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Li Fu's face.
He said immediately.
"Our condition is fifty million spirit stones, plus one hundred God-Breaking Pills.
This is the list of elixirs we refine!"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it over.
And at this moment, Zhao Xing hesitated.
Because the other party's asking price was indeed a bit excessive.
At such a price, if it were an ordinary family, they would probably be bankrupt and unable to pay it.
But now, he could not refuse.
Otherwise, he would be considered timid by the other party, and in the future, in Jiangyang County, he would probably be unable to hold his head up.
And seeing Zhao Xing's hesitant expression, a cold look appeared on the corner of Li Fu's mouth.
He shouted immediately.
"Why, Your Majesty, are you reluctant!"
The voice was incredibly cold.
It caused sweat to flow down Zhao Xing's forehead instantly.
"No, it's not that; I'm just considering how we should conduct ourselves if I give it to you.
After all, this is the entire Great Han.
Although I am the Emperor, I cannot be the final word on everything!"
After his voice fell, a look of disdain appeared on Li Fu's face.
However, he did not refute it.
After all, if Liu Zheng agreed,
they would have made a profit.
Then, he said.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, this time we only want to use Your Majesty's influence to perfect the branch hall.
It won't affect anything.
And as for the construction, my Elixir Hall can guarantee it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing's heart finally settled.
Then, he said.
"Alright, I grant it.
These are the spirit stones; I will arrange for someone to deliver them to the branch hall!"
Just after his voice fell,
Cao Cao Zhengchun walked in.
He said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the spirit stones have been delivered!"
Then, he directed the guards to transport the supplies.
When the guards of the Elixir Hall saw the mountain of supplies, they were all surprised.
However, the quality of these elixirs was indeed very good.
And just at this moment,
a sharp light flickered in Li Fu's eyes.
He said to the people beside him.
"Remember, nothing here is allowed to be leaked in the slightest!
Understand!"
Upon hearing this,
the people around dared not say much.
They said respectfully in a hurry.
"Yes, Hall Master!"
After the voice fell, they retreated.
As for Li Fu, he cupped his fists toward Zhao Xing and said.
"Since that is the case, we shall take our leave.
I wish Your Majesty an early breakthrough!"
After the voice fell, he led his men away.
And Zhao Xing, after watching the other party go away,
could not help but sigh.
Such a treasure could not be enjoyed alone.
However, he finally cast his gaze toward Cao Cao Zhengchun.
The other party had the greatest merit in this matter.
He said slowly immediately.
