Chapter 179 (2/2)

Shao Mingzhen carefully took the pill which Tang Xiu had scrapped a tiny piece from and said, “Brother Tang, since you’ve said so, we won’t hesitate and be hypocrites. But later on, if there’s anything you need, speak to us feely! You can say that I and Brother Miao owe you a favor!”

Miao Wentang also nodded and said, “Yes! If it weren’t for you, we simply wouldn’t have been able to get this marvelous medicinal pill. We’ll take this favor into our tab.”

Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “No, we cooperated to get these. It’s just only a matter of harvest distribution, no more. However, you need to pay more attention for the money you’ll send me! As I’ll go back to Star City tomorrow, and I need that money to handle a lot of things.”

Upon hearing this, they simultaneously took their mobile.

With 1 billion from before, they added 1.5 billion now. The two of them gathered the funds quickly. After finishing the arrangements, they told Tang Xiu that the money would be in his account before tomorrow evening.

“Brother Tang, about these ores we snatched from the Sky Cavern, what kind of material these ores are? I have some knowledge about precious ores, but I’ve never seen this one. These ores are symmetrically cut, and neat. So this should be a good thing, right?” After he received the concocted pill, Shao Mingzhen shifted his vision toward the sky sandstones and inquired about it.

Tang Xiu said, “Two of you, do bear in mind what I tell you today. These ores are much more precious compared to these pills. If news got out about these sky sandstones and discovered by those powerful cultivators who know about the uses of this ore, I’m afraid that it would attract their jealousy and they would be highly likely to find you to rob this stuff.”

Shao Mingzhen exclaimed in alarm, “It’s even more precious than the pill? How could it be? It’s just only an ore! At most, it can only be refined into weapons and won’t be give much benefit to the people who get it, right?”

Tang Xiu lightly replied, “What if this ore falls into the hands of a supreme expert who can forge divine artifacts or tools?”

Shao Mingzhen’s pupils shrunk as Miao Wentang also couldn’t help but shudder.

Divine tools and artifacts?

Could this ore be refined and forged into divine tools and artifacts?

They knew the classification of weapons from the lowest ordinary weapons to artifact weapons that even could cut iron like it was tofu. Those weapons even had its own spiritual nature and were treasures that could be placed within one’s body. It was just like in the fable where celestial beings used their immortal tools or deities that used their divine armaments.

If they could get their hands on such treasures, perhaps, they would be able to laugh at their dreams as they awake. Let alone the divine armaments that were used by deities.

“Brother Tang, you seem to know a lot of things?”

After hesitating for a moment, Shao Mingzhen spoke tactfully.

Tang Xiu realized that he had revealed too many things to them, sparking their interest and curiosity toward his identity. However, his return from the Immortal world was his greatest secret. Aside from Gu Yan’er and Ji Chimei, he mustn’t let another soul on the entire Earth know about this matter.

“Like the proverb says, ‘In order to attain wisdom, it’s not enough to read only books, but you must be well-travelled as well’. Later on, you’ll still have much time to read the records of some ancient books, maybe it will benefit you in your cultivation later.”

It was a lie.

But lying sometimes was not used as a tool to fool others, but as a means of self-protection.

After having distributed the harvest, Tang Xiu returned to his room. He turned on the phone and saw that aside from dozens of text messages from Ouyang Lulu, there was no missed calls.

He felt somewhat disappointed as well as helpless!

He was waiting for Scarblade Qiang’s call, because he needed someone to help him in brewing wines. Along with the passing time, he would have to face bigger issues and would be in dire need of money, which he was seriously lacking. He lived in the mortal world now, and he could see that the wine market provided a huge opportunity for profits. If he could build a large winery, he was certain that he could make a lot of money out of it.

He firmly believed that just like fragrant wine fears no dark alley, quality goods need no advertising.

“Ah, I’m really in short of talented people!”

Tang Xiu rubbed his forehead. Since he was not yet sleepy, he came over to the window and looked at the outside toward the distance amidst the dimly illuminated dark night. With his good eyesight, such darkness didn’t hinder his vision. He clearly saw a few stray cats roaming on the street, wandering around the trash can nearby.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, he recalled about the name list Yuan Zhengxuan gave him, along with the information from the retired special forces soldiers.

“If I recall, there’s a man named Wang Ming who lives in Cangbei City.”

Tang Xiu’s eyes blinked and made a decision in a moment. He would see this Wang Ming, and if his character was good enough, he would take him for his uses.

The next morning.

The dawn had just come. Tang Xiu carried his carrier and walked to the hotel’s entrance. As he looked outside, he saw Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang and asked, “Are the two of you also leaving today?”

Miao Wentang seemed to be in low spirits as he nodded and said, “Yes. Our purpose in coming here has been achieved, so we’ll return back home. Although we did have got great harvests, we also got heavy losses. After we go back, we’ll have to take care of the families of those fallen men of ours.”

“Give them compensation. Also, take a really good care of them in the future!” Tang Xiu said.

Miao Wentang said, “Don’t worry. We’ll do that as we’re also well aware of it. Anyways, since you’ll also go to Cangbei City, we’ll ride you there.”

“Alright!”

Tang Xiu nodded. He looked at Miao Wentang’s men opening the SUV’s trunk, so he took his carrier and put it into the trunk.

“Wait!”

From a nearby corner, Scarblade Qiang’s voice came.

Tang Xiu looked at the voice’s direction. He saw Scarblade Qing pulling out his cigarette, throwing it to the ground and fiercely stamping on it. Then, he dashed toward him in big strides. There were dozens of cigarettes’ butts on the spot he was standing. Obviously, he had stayed there for a very long time.

“Have you thought about it?” Tang Xiu asked with a tranquil expression.

Scarblade Qiang said, “Yes, I’ve thought about it well. But I wanna know what my salary would be.”

Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and then slowly said, “You’ll have 10% shares plus an annual salary of one million yuan. But it is under the condition that not only you assume as the director of the winery, you’ll also responsible as a technician.”
