I cast eternal life with the seeds of Tao

Outside the Iron Blood Gate Fortress.

The flow of cars, horses and people blocked the gate of the castle.

Talkers from major merchants, accompanied by their servants and guards, were anxiously waiting outside. There were also many people watching the excitement around.

At this time, on the top tower of the castle.

A disciple of the Iron Blood Sect rushed over and shouted loudly from the city tower: "Congratulations to the Gongsun family in the west of the city for defeating the Du family in the south of the city and winning the tenth permanent merchant spot."

After the words fell, a large convoy on the left side of the city gate burst into cheers.

Inside the gorgeous and spacious carriage, a plump middle-aged man opened the curtain and said loudly with a bright smile.

"Tonight my Gongsun family is hosting a banquet at Tianfeng Tower in the west of the city. All friends are welcome to come and join us!"

Immediately there was a group of people around, rushing up to congratulate and congratulate him, and they were extremely flattering.

But some people are happy and some are sad.

The Du family's motorcade not far away was shocked to hear the bad news, and there was a burst of lamentation in the carriage.

Immediately, the group of people left the scene in a hurry.

No one in the Iron-Blooded Sect can know the results of the trials in advance. They all get the news through instant reports from the Iron-Blooded Sect disciples.

Now, we have learned about the tenth merchant and obtained the resident qualification.

Other merchants who have not yet received results are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Naturally, this includes the head of the Song family, Song Xinghe.

After the trials started, Song Xinghe had already prepared for the worst and was ready to face failure at any time.

However, not long ago, the Iron Blood Sect disciples announced the merchants eliminated in the first round of competition.

There was no Song family among them, and Mr. Zhao actually won the first round of competition.

Song Xinghe was immediately overjoyed, and even Song Shanshan, who had always been skeptical of Zhao Heng, was also greatly surprised.

A competition with little hope suddenly became suspense, and the father and daughter suddenly ignited hope, hoping that the young man could create a miracle.

However, as time passed, the second round of competition began.

Seeing one merchant after another win precious permanent quotas, another group of merchants left sadly.

Both father and daughter were extremely nervous. At this moment, Song Xinghe clenched his fists, his body was stiff, and his forehead was already covered with fine sweat.

At this moment, another Iron Blood Sect disciple came to report on the city tower.

"Congratulations to the He family in the east of the city for defeating the Zhuo family in the north of the city and winning the eleventh permanent spot."

There was another commotion downstairs.

"There's only one spot left!"

The Song family father and daughter opened the carriage curtain, stood on the carriage steps, and looked nervously at the tower, as if waiting for the verdict of fate.

At this time, there was a luxurious carriage beside them.

A tall, thin middle-aged man with a luxurious temperament, wearing a sky-blue gold silk robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a jade ring on his thumb, also strode onto the carriage deck.

This person is none other than one of the twelve established merchants in Iron Blood City, the head of the Wei family, Wei Hong.

Like the Song family, the Wei family also started their business by operating elixirs and have obtained the city's permanent merchant qualifications twice in a row.

At this time, Wei Hong looked at Song Xinghe playfully.

"Master Song, it seems that the last spot will be competed between our two families. Who do you think will have the last laugh?"

Seeing that the person competing with him was actually Wei Hong, Song Xinghe couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and his face became a little ugly.

Seeing this, Wei Hong became even more proud.

"I heard that the representative sent by the head of the Song family is a young body-forging warrior, and this guest of mine has extraordinary physical skills and profound skills, and is the best at restraining the body-forging warrior.

It is estimated that the body trainer you hired has fainted under the ring at this moment. "

Hearing this, Song Xinghe's already cold heart suddenly turned cold, and his face was full of bitterness.

Wei Hong, on the other hand, showed himself as a winner in advance.

"Master Song, don't be so depressed. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. We all deal in the elixir business, and I don't want to be too cruel to you.

How about this, how about I buy all the elixir materials you brought into the city at 10% of the market price? "

"10%?" Song Xinghe couldn't help but look angry.

"Master Wei, are you kidding?"

Wei Hong sneered and said: "Master Song, think about it, if you don't get a place as a permanent merchant, those medicinal materials will rot in your hands.

Even if you take the risk and go out of the city, in today's world, monsters are rampant and there are many bad people.

Maybe you won't even get 10% of the profit, and you may even lose your life. "

Sensing the hint of threat hidden in Wei Hong's words, Song Xinghe's expression became uncertain.

Wei Hong looked at the other party with a smile, like a cunning wolf eyeing a fat sheep.

"Master Song, I advise you to think about it carefully. While I am still happy, I will give you this opportunity."

As he said that, Wei Hong noticed again that next to Song Xinghe was Song Shanshan, who had a graceful figure and white skin.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and a greedy smile appeared on his face.

"Miss Song is really beautiful, I feel pity for her. It just so happens that Mr. Wei is thinking of taking a concubine recently, and I think Miss Song is very suitable.

If the head of the Song family is willing to marry off his daughter, our two families will be related by marriage, and I can increase the price by another 10% or 20%. "

"Wei Hong, don't be too arrogant!"

Seeing that Wei Hong actually targeted Song Shanshan, Song Xinghe was extremely angry.

Song Shanshan also looked ashamed and angry.

But Wei Hong laughed proudly.

"Hahaha... So what if you are arrogant? Is arrogance illegal?

In the Iron-Blooded City, big fists are the last word. Just wait, you will have to beg me soon. "

Before he finished speaking, a disciple of the Iron Blood Sect who hurried over from the tower announced loudly.

"Congratulations to the Song family for defeating the Wei family in the east of the city and winning the twelfth permanent merchant quota."

Wei Hong laughed wildly, "Hahaha, I told you long ago, how could you possibly beat them..."

Halfway through his words, his voice suddenly stopped, like a big rooster that was grabbed by the neck and could not make a sound.

Not only Wei Hong, but Song Xinghe, who had already made plans for failure and was even ready to leave the Iron Blood City overnight, was also stunned at this time.

"Shanshan, I... did I hear it right, who won?"

"Well... it seems that we won?" Song Shanshan was also a little dazed.

Until the disciple of the Iron Blood Sect on the tower repeated it for the second time, the father and daughter dared to believe this fact.

The father and daughter only felt that a huge pie had hit their heads, and they were a little dizzy for a while.

And Wei Hong, who had just looked proud, was struck by lightning.

"Impossible, how could I lose? How could I lose to them?"

At this time, the castle gate had been opened, and the participating representatives walked out of the gate one after another.

Some came out standing, while others were carried out, such as Zheng Laosan, the master sent by the Wei family.

The merchants came forward to welcome their own masters who represented the battle.

Song Xinghe also hurriedly took his daughter to the gate to welcome Zhao Heng, but he didn't see his figure.

...

At this time, Zhao Heng had already passed through the crowded crowd and returned to the inn.

He naturally saw the father and daughter of the Song family, but he didn't come forward to meet them, and he didn't want to attract too much attention.

After returning to the inn, Zhao Heng took out a token engraved with the logo of the Iron Blood Gate.

After the end of today's selection, Di Wanhe, the elder of the White Tiger Hall of the Iron Blood Gate, kept Zhao Heng and the female divine teacher and directly invited them to join the Iron Blood Gate.

Zhao Heng represented the Song family and participated in the selection this time, in addition to wanting to repay Song Xinghe.

Another purpose was to get in touch with the Iron Blood Gate, and it would be best if he could integrate into it.

Because Tiexuemen is the master of Tiexue City, joining Tiexuemen will make it easier for him to obtain blood crystals and quickly restore his cultivation.

Secondly, Zhao Heng also wants to get in touch with the cultivation world of Zhongzhou through Tiexuemen and find a way to return to the South Region.

The way he defeated Zheng Laosan in the selection competition was actually for Di Wanhe to see.

But facing the other party's invitation, Zhao Heng did not directly agree, saying that he needed to come back and think about it for a few days.

This move was to dispel the other party's vigilance, and by the way, he also had to make some preparations.

He didn't want to be an ordinary disciple in Tiexuemen.

…

The next morning after returning to the inn, Song Xinghe came to see Zhao Heng.

After meeting, he still thanked him profusely, and brought a large number of blood crystals, including a fourth-level blood crystal.

Song Xinghe not only handed over all the blood crystals in the family collection to Zhao Heng, but also purchased a batch of blood crystals in the city through other channels and presented them together.

Even the head of the Song family sent a contract, expressing his willingness to give half of the Song family's assets to Zhao Heng in return for his kindness.

Zhao Heng naturally did not intend to accept this, but Song Xinghe's attitude was extremely firm.

In the end, Zhao Heng could only reluctantly agree to take 30% of the shares of the Song family's industry as dividends, and then he would give up.

After Song Xinghe left, Zhao Heng nodded slightly at the large number of blood crystals left by the other party.

"He who gives favors never forgets to repay. This head of the Song family is indeed a real person. It's just right to refine these blood crystals and go to the Iron Blood Gate in a few days!"

...

At the same time, in another room of the inn.

Song Shanshan looked at her father in confusion.

"Dad, is it really necessary to give him 30% of the shares?

Yesterday outside the Iron Blood Gate, you also heard that Mr. Zhao was able to win completely by luck."

Just yesterday, after the selection competition ended, the process of the competition was spread without the need for the Song family father and daughter to ask.

Especially the representative named "Zhao Wuji", who caused heated discussions.

This person got a bye in the first match, but in the second match, his opponent showed off his skills and knocked him unconscious under the ring.

He won all the way with ease, and his luck was against the sky.

The father and daughter of the Song family were surprised and lucky to hear the news.

This Mr. Zhao does not seem to be a hidden master.

From a businessman's perspective, Song Shanshan believes that this kind of person is not worth her father's big investment.

Those blood crystals are enough as compensation, and there is no need to offer 30% of the shares.

Hearing this, Song Xinghe's expression was unusually serious.

"Shanshan, you have been learning business from your father since you were young. You are very smart and good at judging the time and making profits. You are definitely a good businessman.

But you must know that you should be a good person before doing things, and the same is true for business. I don't care whether Mr. Zhao is really a strong master.

But he agreed to travel with us all the way, and we arrived at Tiexue City safely. Now he represents us in the competition and wins us the qualification of a permanent merchant in Tiexue City. These are indisputable facts.

Even if this is all luck, it is the luck brought to us by Mr. Zhao. We can't treat him unfairly. This is the conscience and principle of being a human being!

You must remember that not everything is based on the word "profit" first!"

Song Shanshan, who rarely saw her father so serious, fell into deep thought when she heard these words.

After a long time, she nodded and said, "Dad, your daughter has learned a lesson!"
