Song Feiyang suddenly swore.
The Zhongli family head on the other side had expected this and said calmly, "Another price increase?"
Song Feiyang nodded vigorously. "That guy Yuan Wenchuan is taking advantage of the situation. We agreed on the price, but it's been less than half a year, and he wants to raise the price."
"The Yuan family controls more than half of the country's refining resources. It's no surprise that they dare to ask for such a high price." Patriarch Zhongli said calmly.
The most indispensable resource for refining magical instruments is Lingyun Stone. Unfortunately, most of the Lingyun Stones are in the hands of the Yuan family. No wonder they are so arrogant.
At that time, the country was in a period of great turmoil, and the situations of individual families were not noticed. By the time the leaders' attention was finally diverted, the Yuan family had already established a firm foothold.
Attacking the Yuan family at this time would not be beneficial to the situation that had just stabilized, not only because the Yuan family controlled most of the Lingyun stones, but also because they had won over a large number of weapon masters at that time.
From a second-rate small family to a large family that could compete with the Zhongli family and the Sima family, the Yuan family can be said to be extremely legendary.
However, this legendary Yuan family does not have the profound strength and cultural heritage accumulated over thousands of years like the Zhongli and Sima families.
In addition to Yuan Huanghe, the ancestor of the Yuan family who led the Yuan family onto this legendary road, later members of the Yuan family became more and more deviant and gradually developed ambitions to become the people who control the lifeline of China.
Of course, the Yuan family did not say it out loud, but their performance was obvious enough.
"The Yuan family never thought about why the higher-ups didn't just deal with the opportunistic Yuan family. It was because Yuan Huanghe was a good person and took the initiative to contribute a lot of resources. Otherwise, how could the Yuan family have come to this point?" Song Feiyang sneered.
"His descendants are so good. They have been dragons for so long that they have forgotten that they were once turtles. They even dare to jump over our heads."
When a psychopath is pushed into a corner, he will do anything desperate.
"Just tell me these things, don't spread them outside. Although the Yuan family's reputation has been almost completely lost, their weapon refining factories are still there, and they have also attracted many young weapon masters over the years." Zhongli's idea was meaningful.
Song Feiyang knew in his heart that he couldn't say anything careless. Patriarch Zhongli was his own man, so he said, "Brother, do you think the Yuan family's Lingyun Stones have really not been used up yet? It's been so many years."
"It's definitely not used up, but it's hard to say how long it can be used." The head of the Zhongli family shook his head.
Song Feiyang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother, is it possible that they are running out of money? Do you know what conditions the Yuan family has put forward to the military this time?"
Patriarch Zhongli was indeed the head of the family appointed by the old man. He immediately understood and asked, "Could it be a new disaster area?"
"Yes, after Baicheng was confirmed as a new disaster area, the military found that there had been many huge energy fluctuations inside. It is speculated that the level of the new disaster area should be very high, and it is very likely to be a new S-level disaster area," Song Feiyang said, his eyes turning to Zhongli Tingzhou, who had a cold face and remained silent.
"I believe Tingzhou has already heard about the fact that your school was allocated 50 places. If it weren't for the cooperation between the school and the military, you wouldn't have been able to get so many. At most, you would have only been allocated 30."
The extra twenty were specially sought after by the leaders of Penglai University.
Even the leaders of Penglai University attach so much importance to the new disaster area, how could other forces not pay attention to it? However, the military can only provide 500 places in total, so they have to reserve some for themselves.
Don’t underestimate the number of places. There are quite a few people who want the spots. If a few are given to this person and a few are given to that person, they will be gone in no time.
The Zhongli, Sima and Yuan families have a great influence on China. They each get thirty places, so the three families take up ninety places. There are many other family forces under them, and everyone wants to get more places.
"Yuan Wenchuan really took me for a fool. He first proposed to raise the price, and when he saw that I didn't agree, he actually wanted to exchange for more places. He threatened me implicitly. If I didn't agree, he would not sell the magic weapon to the military!"
"This bastard, he doesn't even think about how the Yuan family got to where they are now. In my opinion, the military shouldn't give him a penny, and he should also take out the magic weapon.
After the disaster area appeared, who has been protecting everyone? It was the soldiers. They rushed to the front line to guard the boundary between the disaster area and the human world. Otherwise, with the disaster area now..."
The head of the Zhongli family suddenly coughed twice.
Song Feiyang's voice stopped abruptly, and he laughed awkwardly: "In short, Yuan Wenchuan is too inhuman, I will never agree to give the Yuan family more places,
He never did this before when new disaster areas appeared. Now he suddenly asks for more places. I doubt it.
Yuan Wenchuan must have known something. He was so impatient, as if there was a new Lingyun stone mine in the new disaster area. "
Patriarch Zhongli took a sip of tea, put the cup back on the tea table, and narrowed his shrewd eyes, "Or maybe the Lingyun Stones that the Yuan family has in stock are running out, so Yuan Wenchuan is anxious!"
"I think so too. If there really is a Lingyun stone mine in the new disaster area, how did Yuan Wenchuan find it? The possibility is relatively low," the more Song Feiyang spoke, the clearer his mind became.
"The biggest possibility is that he is in a hurry to find new Lingyun Stone resources. The military department allocated 30 quotas to the Yuan family, but Yuan Wenchuan thought it was too few. With the same number of people and horses, they have no advantage."
"I'm afraid you can't make the decision on this matter." Patriarch Zhongli raised the biggest question.
Song Feiyang's expression condensed, "I know, that's why I came to you, brother. Yuan Wenchuan can't get a definite answer from me, he will definitely find someone else, or put pressure on the military."
"Well, how many places does he want?" asked the head of the Zhongli family.
"Fifty." Song Feiyang's face darkened.
Patriarch Zhongli shook his head. "He said so much on purpose. The real target should be thirty."
Seinfeld: “I think so too.”
The Zhongli clan leader tapped the armrest with his fingers. After a moment, he said, "Yuan Wenchuan must have been planning this for a long time. He will not stop until he achieves his goal."
"Why do you say that, brother?" Song Feiyang asked.
"Can't the military wait a little longer to purchase these magical weapons?" asked the head of the Zhongli family.
"No, since last year, the military has purchased three batches of magic tools from the Yuan family. In the past, the quantity was gradually increasing, but in these three times, it has decreased. The reason given by the Yuan family is that some resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and they can't produce more magic tools to sell to the military."
"That's where the problem lies. The fact is that the output of the Yuan family's equipment refineries has not increased or decreased much each month." Patriarch Zhongli has sent people to keep an eye on his opponents many times, and these are the intelligence information he has obtained.
Song Feiyang cursed in a low voice, "Brother, do you have any solution?"
The head of the Zhongli family pondered and stopped talking.
At this time, Zhongli Tingzhou, who had been silent all this time, contributed two words, "Penglai."
Before Song Feiyang could react, the head of the Zhongli family, who thought he shared the same aspirations as his brother, thought of it in an instant.
"Fei Yang, there is a way, thanks to Tingzhou." The head of the Zhongli family smiled and looked at his youngest brother lovingly, just like an old father.
But it doesn't matter. When Zhongli Tingzhou was born, the head of the Zhongli family was almost forty years old. At that time, the old man was away all year round. He and his other brothers and sisters raised him. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are father and son.
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Song Feiyang readily followed suit, and was not at all shy in front of Zhongli Tingzhou, who was younger than him.
The warm face goes straight to the other person's cold butt.
Zhongli Tingzhou knew that they called him back just for this matter, so he left after saying that.
This kind of thing has happened many times over the years. He knows that his eldest brother wants him to participate more, get in touch with the family, and some things between the major family forces, and sometimes he will deliberately trick him to come.
In fact, it can be seen through at a glance, but he knows very well that they are doing it for his own good, so he cooperates silently.
After Song Feiyang returned, he told his superiors about the matter, and his leaders supported his decision.
Over the years, the Yuan family has taken so many benefits from the military with their tough attitude. It is time to fight back.
Don’t let the Yuan family think that the military really can’t do anything to them.
…
Gao Han, who was in the spiritual energy training room, had no idea what was happening outside. After staying there for a day, his lost cultivation level was recovered to the fifth-level intermediate level at an extremely fast speed.
He thought that it would take at least two days to reach the fifth-level intermediate level, and he would recover after slowly nurturing.
The result came faster than he thought.
Gao Han didn't know that this was because he absorbed spiritual energy faster than the average person, as well as the piece of meat given to him by Zhongli in black.
Normally, the spiritual energy in the training room could be used for a whole day, but he absorbed all of it in just half a day.
After that, it took another day to restore his cultivation to the peak of the fifth-level intermediate level, and he was just one step away from a breakthrough.
At this time, the communicator on his wrist rang. It was the time he set. There were still six hours before the life-and-death battle with Yuan Chenlin.
Yuan Chenlin's strength is that of a fifth-level superior. With his current strength, it is not difficult to defeat him. However, now is a good time to break through. Since he learned about the situation in the disaster area, he has become more and more eager to improve his strength.
Gao Han didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he took out several spirit gathering devices from the Yayoi Ring and decided to gather all the spiritual energy in the training room and sprint to the fifth level.
At this time, Yuan Chenlin had already begun preparing for a life-and-death battle.
Because of the situation in the new disaster area, many senior students are in seclusion and preparing for the final sprint, and few people are paying attention to their life-and-death battle right now.
Yuan Chenlin set the venue for the life-and-death match indoors. An hour before the match started, the number of people who came to watch the match was even less than the last match between Gao Han and Chen Siqin.
"What's going on?" Ma Zechao and a group of people rushed to the scene, intending to cheer for Gao Han, but were surprised to find that there were less than a hundred spectators in the hall.
Zhao Bin, Dali and others were also confused and didn't know what was going on, even though so many people were paying attention to it before.
"Is it because of the new disaster area?" they speculated.
"There wouldn't be just these people coming. There were hundreds of people in the last competition." Ma Zechao's intuition told him that there must be other problems here. Maybe it was a conspiracy from Yuan Chenlin.
Just then, Luo Xinxin and her friends also came.
"I know why."
