Chu Mo excitedly accepted it, but he still couldn't help asking curiously:
"Mr. Zhang, did you buy this on the dark web? How much did it cost? I'll transfer the money to you later."
"This is from the National Research Institute's collection. Since it's useful to you, you can take it."
"Now that you have provided so many Taoist techniques, the research value of this thing is no longer so great."
At this point, Zhang Qidao's face lit up with joy.
The Daoist teachings provided by Chu Mo truly broadened their horizons and brought them immense benefits.
The overall cultivation strength of the Dragon Kingdom has improved by leaps and bounds.
Hearing what Elder Zhang said, Chu Mo didn't stand on ceremony anymore; he really needed this thing.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Qidao spoke again:
"We have received information that some domestic companies are plotting to cut off your supply of medicinal materials, and there are foreign forces behind them."
"The government has already spoken with the largest domestic medicinal herb suppliers, and their herbs will be given priority to you."
"However, we shouldn't interfere too much with other business activities."
"Mr. Zhang, this is enough. Thank you for the country's support and care."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude.
Two days ago, Zhong Qiang told him that the supplier had decided to suspend the supply of several rare Chinese medicinal herbs due to a shortage of goods.
At the time, I really thought it was a shortage of medicinal herbs, but now it seems that someone upstream is blocking us.
Their methods are truly domineering and ruthless, using every possible means.
If it weren't for the government's intervention, he believed his troubles would be far from minor.
Now that the upstream and downstream issues are resolved, I can focus on production.
Zhang Qidao paused for a moment, then continued with a somewhat helpless tone:
"However, Changqing Pharmaceutical, the largest supplier of guanxiong drugs in China, is a special case. The government cannot force them to comply, and it requires negotiation between the two parties."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I understand. Business is negotiated, you can't force them to do business with me at gunpoint, can you?"
Chu Mo laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.
"Also, which company is trying to cut off my supply? The Liang family or the Zhang family?"
"The Liang family's Liang Group."
Chu Mo understood perfectly and wasn't surprised at all.
The two stopped talking about it and Zhang Qidao brought up another topic.
"Xiao Chu, regarding your parents' kidnapping, Xiao Lu said you want to handle it yourself?"
"Yes, I want them to learn a lesson, otherwise there will be more trouble in the future."
Zhang Qidao pondered for a moment, then surprisingly nodded in agreement, saying in a domineering tone:
"Okay, then do it your way. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
"Old Zhang, shouldn't you be trying to persuade me?"
Chu Mo looked surprised; he had thought that Elder Zhang would tell him not to do anything reckless.
They actually supported him in doing it?
You should know that he's definitely going to kill someone this time, and probably more than one.
Given Zhang Lao's status, he shouldn't tolerate his reckless behavior, right?
"Since they don't follow the rules, why should I expect you to reason with them?"
Zhang Qidao's words were simple and to the point.
But Chu Mo thought it made perfect sense, because that was exactly what he thought.
If you try to reason with me, I'll reason with you too. But if you try to act like a thug, then I'll become a villain and kill you!
"Mr. Zhang, you really are a reasonable person. I like you, haha..."
"No, you still prefer this young girl, so I'll pass."
Zhang Qidao glanced at Shu Xiaoya, who was brewing tea, and laughed and teased her.
The girl's face flushed instantly, but her heart was filled with sweetness.
"I won't bother you two any longer. If you need any help, remember to contact me."
Zhang Qidao stood up, preparing to take his leave.
Chu Mo then told Elder Zhang about Yan Zhongqiao and asked him to help investigate his whereabouts.
I kept it a secret before because I was thinking of doing it myself, but now that the country isn't interfering, it doesn't matter if I find out.
"Okay, I'll give the order and let you know as soon as there's any news."
After Zhang Qidao left, Chu Mo excitedly opened the wooden box.
Inside were two items, one of which was the white jade bone pendant that had been obtained from Carlo.
The other item was a palm-sized black iron plaque covered with strange runes, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.
"Chu Mo, what is this?" Shu Xiaoya asked with a curious expression.
"A sacred artifact!"
"A sacred artifact? What's its use?"
"It can help cultivators communicate with the power of the five elements, thereby mastering and using the Daoist arts of the five elements."
Chu Mo explained patiently.
"However, the cultivation techniques you practice already contain many Daoist methods, so you don't need this."
"oh!"
Shu Xiaoya seemed to understand, but not quite. She had only just begun cultivating and didn't know much about these things.
Thinking of the scene from her last cultivation session, her cheeks flushed again, and she couldn't help but glance at the man beside her.
That scoundrel, last time he was fixing something, he ended up hugging her and practicing on her.
What a big liar!
Just then, Chu Mo suddenly froze, his eyes filled with shock and horror.
In his mind, a childish voice was faintly heard.
"Owner……"
What the hell is this? Chu Mo was completely dumbfounded.
The sound was very faint.
If it weren't for his keen senses, he would have suspected he was hallucinating.
But he was certain it was true.
Although the sound has disappeared now, it really did appear just now.
He quickly realized what was happening and was overjoyed.
Could it be that the one who spoke to me just now was the spirit of the interdimensional array plate?
