105.Xu Shan's Secret Treasure!

Huang Zhiwen secretly took a look at Prime Minister Chen and felt relieved. It seemed that the other party didn't mind, and even wanted to hear more.

Xu Shan said seriously, "I think in the face of this problem, the court can't stick to the old ways. To reach a new level and a new realm, it must achieve new breakthroughs through new methods. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage cultivators to be creative and continuously practice to obtain new achievements."

".... We must recognize the importance and urgency of this... and do things carefully with a plan and a keen sense. Of course, at the same time, we should pay the most attention to standardization and order. The wandering cultivators among the people must not be allowed to run wild... Only in this way can we..."

There were continuous flashes of wonder in Prime Minister Chen's eyes. This kid Bu Jingyun talked a lot but didn't really say anything specific. He was even more like an old fox than himself. But he was able to talk so much, which obviously meant he had something in his mind, just that he didn't want to explain it clearly. And judging from his method of selling pills just now and his close relationship with Huang Zhiwen, this kid was definitely not bad!

"All right, all right. Brother Bu really opened my eyes today!" Prime Minister Chen was obviously taken with Xu Shan's talent. He stepped forward and patted Xu Shan's shoulder, saying eagerly, "Are you interested in working under me?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Xu Shan's face. It seemed that this big shot was quite easy to persuade...

"I'm just at the Foundation Establishment stage. Working under Prime Minister Chen might... be beneath your dignity, Prime Minister Chen."

Prime Minister Chen said magnanimously, "You don't understand. In the court, what matters is wisdom, vision, and management ability. Personal combat power is not that important."

"Not to mention the Foundation Establishment stage, even if you were a mortal, as long as you have the ability, you can still work under me."

"Young Master Huang, this Brother Bu is the person you brought. You won't be reluctant to part with such a talent, will you?"

Huang Zhiwen smiled bitterly and said, "Prime Minister Chen, you've misunderstood. Jingyun's pursuit is to improve his strength and realm. Such a talented person, how could I not want to keep him?"

"That's right. Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister Chen. Personally, I still hope to seize the time to cultivate and improve my cultivation base." Xu Shan added.

Prime Minister Chen stroked his beard and said regretfully, "That's a pity. But I can understand. Most cultivators' lifelong pursuit is like this."

"Here's what. If at any time Brother Bu wants to come and work for me, you can always report to my Prime Minister's Mansion with this jade slip. How about it?" Prime Minister Chen took out a jade slip and handed it to Xu Shan.

Xu Shan took the jade slip and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister Chen. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit you at the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Prime Minister Chen patted his shoulder and looked at Huang Zhiwen. "Good, this young man is really good. He has courage and ideas. I came out for a drink during my break. Now it's time for me to go back. I won't disturb you two. We'll talk again if we have the chance."

"Shopkeeper, bring another pot of Snow Ginseng Wine for Young Master Huang's table and put it on my account."

"Thank you, Prime Minister Chen. Take care, Prime Minister Chen." Huang Zhiwen bowed slightly and watched Prime Minister Chen walk down the stairs.

There was already an additional pot of Snow Ginseng Wine on their table. Huang Zhiwen pointed at the wine pot and said, "This pot of wine has quite amazing effects. It's a great thing for resisting the cold and restoring spiritual energy. You can take it with you on this trip."

Xu Shan nodded, put the wine pot into his storage bag, and sat down again.

Huang Zhiwen sighed and said, "You really can't stay quiet no matter where you go. You dare to talk to anyone. The people who can come to the third floor of the Immortal Drunk are all either rich or powerful."

"However, you're also lucky to have caught Prime Minister Chen's attention. It seems that it shouldn't be a problem for you to make a living in Lu Wang City in the future."

Xu Shan whispered, "How do you know such a person, Sect Master?"

"The Huang family often comes and goes in Lu Wang City. I've even met their prince and have even fought with him. What's so strange about knowing Prime Minister Chen?"

"Then what's Prime Minister Chen's cultivation base?"

Huang Zhiwen thought for a while and said, "The Yangding Dynasty is a bit different from other cultivation sects. In ordinary sects, the cultivators in important positions managing sect affairs are often not the strongest. But in the Yangding Dynasty, the royal family members are all top-notch experts, and the emperor is the most powerful.... As for Prime Minister Chen, I can only say that his cultivation base is unfathomable."

"Below that, it's much more normal. Except for military generals and other martial officials, the cultivation bases of civil officials vary. Those with high official positions don't necessarily have high cultivation bases. In the Yangding Dynasty, sometimes power is more useful than force."

"So in this area, it's best to keep a low profile and don't provoke anyone, even if their strength is low."

Xu Shan nodded and then asked, "The Yangding Dynasty is so powerful. It should be the strongest force in the Northern Region, right?"

"That's not entirely true. They're just the largest." Huang Zhiwen said, "The ranking of forces is actually just a vague concept. The largest doesn't necessarily mean the strongest."

"What matters most is still the competition of top combat power. Some forces, although they don't have as many people as the Yangding Dynasty, are not afraid of them at all."

So that's how it is! Xu Shan sighed in his heart. He really broadened his horizons today and had a brand-new understanding of the cultivation world.

"Xu Shan, after we finish this wine, I'm going to buy some materials for refining pills. If you want to buy something for self-defense, you can go to the East Market. They sell talismans and magical instruments there. Although there probably won't be anything really good, it's still necessary to buy some self-defense items."

"Do you still have enough spirit stones? If not, you can take some from me."

Xu Shan shook his head and smiled mysteriously, saying, "To be honest with you, I have a treasure. I don't need you to give me more spirit stones."

"Sect Master, where is the most famous shop for purchasing magical instruments in the city?"

Huang Zhiwen asked in confusion, "Selling magical instruments? What magical instrument do you want to sell?"

"It's not a magical instrument. It's an antique!" Xu Shan whispered, "Before, I participated in the Centennial Grand Competition and picked up an antique flying sword in the secret realm. Sect Master Ye personally appraised it for me and said it was worth three thousand top-grade spirit stones!"

"What! Three thousand top-grade spirit stones?" Huang Zhiwen exclaimed in shock, "You kid, if you're so rich, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I didn't have the opportunity to sell it before. Now is just the right time." Xu Shan said happily.

The flying sword that was stuck in the Kun Beast in the secret realm had always been his largest fortune! Three thousand top-grade spirit stones, thirty thousand middle-grade spirit stones! Baodan Sect hadn't earned that much in five years. It was enough for him to cultivate freely and unrestrainedly in the Demonic Dao.

He had known Huang Zhiwen for so many years and knew the other person's temperament well. There was no need to hide this from him.

Huang Zhiwen looked at Xu Shan and smiled bitterly. This kid could really hide it! If he had known he was so rich earlier, he wouldn't have advanced the spirit stones for him to buy the Spirit Crystal Core. That thing was not only rare but also extremely expensive.

"Indeed, some cultivators like to collect antiques, but there aren't that many of them. I've only heard of one or two antiques that were sold for three thousand top-grade spirit stones, and that was the price at an auction." Huang Zhiwen questioned, "Picked up in the secret realm? It's not easy to get a bargain. Are you sure it's worth that many spirit stones?"

Xu Shan directly took out the antique flying sword and put it on the table, confidently saying, "How could it be fake? This sword is definitely not an ordinary item! I'm telling you, I got a great bargain. I wouldn't tell just anyone!"

It could be stuck in an extinct species like the Kun Beast. There was definitely no mistake! Besides, Ye Qingbi had said it was valuable, and he had been thinking about it for several years.

Huang Zhiwen picked up the flying sword and studied it for a while, then put it back and said, "It looks quite intact. Maybe it's really worth some money. The most famous magical instrument shop in the city is called Tianhai Zhai. They also accept antiques. You can go there."

"Is there any famous magical instrument forging master in Tianhai Zhai?"

"Yes, I remember his name is... Shen Yufeng. Xu Shan, I have to remind you that this business is full of risks. Don't be deceived."

"Don't worry. I know how risky this business is...."....
