Skilled in managing a house

Upon hearing Zhang Yu say that a precious mineral source had been discovered, Zhang Zhenren's eyes suddenly lit up. These days, what is most lacking is mineral resources with spiritual energy. Even just a piece of iron ore is enough to make all the sects covet it.

Zhang Tianshi still looked like everything was as usual, his face was like autumn water, and there was no trace of any joy or anger. The old man said calmly: "It turns out that a mine source has been discovered... This is definitely a good thing for our Zhengyi Sect... I don't know what kind of mine it is..."

"Frost Silver!" Zhang Yu was straightforward again.

Hearing these words, Master Zhang's body trembled.

You know, frost silver ore is definitely a top-grade ore. Especially in this year when minerals are rare, frost silver ore is even more of the best among the best.

Zhang Tianshi remained calm, and he said slowly: "It turns out to be frost silver ore, which is really good... Well, our Tianshi Mansion can't take advantage of you. We will pay 50-50 for the mined ore... …”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu thought of the great protector's previous instructions. It's absolutely true. In the eyes of the other party, his so-called cooperation is just seeking asylum. After all, your strength, Zhang Yu, is limited. Letting you sit on the treasure mountain is simply a crime.

Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Master Tian's words are wrong."

"Oh...what's wrong?" Zhang Tianshi said in surprise.

He never expected that Zhang Yu could come up with such a sentence.

"This disciple is indeed looking for someone to cooperate in the development of this Frost Silver mine. But..." At this point, Zhang Yu deliberately changed the topic and continued: "This cooperation requires the other party to show sincerity... You know, Frost Silver Mineral veins are rare in the world, and there are probably not a few people who are willing to cooperate with my disciples to develop them... Therefore, I need to see who is more sincere about this frost silver vein, and then finally decide who to cooperate with..."

Master Zhang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart after hearing these words. He really couldn't imagine that Zhang Yu dared to say such words in the Tianshi Mansion.

Now that you have found Tianshi Mansion, you must cooperate with Tianshi Mansion. Now you still want to wait for a price, what is this?

A look of astonishment flashed across Zhang Tianshi's face, but this color also disappeared in an instant. Zhang Tianshi couldn't help but look at Zhang Yu carefully. This was not the first time the two met, and he knew Zhang Yu's strength very well. Obviously, he did not expect that Zhang Yu would dare to say such words in Tianshi Mansion.

After a while, Zhang Tianshi said: "Who is more sincere... It's interesting... But, young people, don't be too greedy..."

"How can I dare to be greedy..." Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Since it is cooperation, it must look like cooperation... Nowadays, aren't they all about joint ventures... For example, when I leave the mining area, Should Tianshi Mansion also make a small investment..."

"There is some truth in what he said..." Zhang Tianshi nodded slightly and then said: "Then tell me how much investment the Tianshi Mansion needs..."

Master Zhang also stared at Zhang Yu closely, wanting to see what kind of price Zhang Yu would offer.

"In my opinion, this investment is a matter of sincerity... As far as I know, Tianshi Mansion has a spiritual medicine called Dragon Tiger Qi Building Pill. Can you give me a Bai Lai Pill..." Zhang Yu said tentatively.

As soon as these words came out, Master Zhang became a little anxious. He who had been silent just now said directly: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you are going a little too far! It takes ten years for our Tianshi Mansion to refine the Dragon and Tiger Qi Building Pill. There are only seventy-two pills in one batch, where can I get Bai Laiwan for you..."

On weekdays, the friendship between everyone is pretty good. However, no matter what kind of friendship it is, once it rises to the level of interests, friendship is often thrown aside.

Zhang Yu's asking price, in the eyes of Zhenren Zhang, is a bit too much. Of course, he didn't realize that the value of the ore mined from the Frost Silver Mineral Veins was definitely much higher than the Dragon Tiger Qi Building Pill.

Compared with Zhenren Zhang, Tianshi Zhang still had a pleasant look on his face. He said gently: "We Tianshi Mansion doesn't have so many Bailaiwan Dragon and Tiger Qi-Building Pills now. Let me give you thirty-six Dragon and Tiger Qi-Building Pills." , In addition, if you need anything else, you can list it and see if Tianshi Mansion can bear it."

Master Zhang was startled when he heard what his father said. Good guy, what a joke are you giving Zhang Yu thirty-six Dragon and Tiger Qi Building Pills at once. If the disciples of this sect don’t have enough, they still have to give it to Zhang Yu.

But after his father said this, Master Zhang could only listen.

Zhang Yu then said: "I'm not a greedy person. I don't want magic weapons or anything like that. If... the Tianshi Mansion has any extra thunder-cleaved wood, you can give me some... and... I don’t have a few talismans left..."

He can refine talismans himself, but he has never said anything about it. At this moment, Zhang Tianshi asked him to ask for a price. Zhang Yu was also measured and knew not to ask for a price that was too high, but just enough.

Zhang Tianshi nodded and said: "It's fair enough. In this way, I will give you ten thunder-split peach trees and thunder-split jujube trees. Thirty blue talisman papers, one hundred bright yellow talisman papers, and the remaining talisman papers each Two hundred pictures...what do you think..."

"Thank you, Heavenly Master." Zhang Yu quickly clasped his hands.

Zhang Tianshi nodded slightly, and then said: "Then it's decided. Where is the mine? I will send someone to go with you tomorrow."

"No problem." Zhang Yu said directly.

Zhang Tianshi then made a gesture to his son, and then said: "Go and arrange a place for Zhang Yu to entertain him."

"Yes, Heavenly Master." "Thank you, Heavenly Master."

Zhang Yu and Zhang Zhenren got up one after another and left the side hall together.

Master Zhang arranged Zhang Yu and his party to the guest room where they stayed when they came last time, and told his disciples to entertain them well.

He and Zhang Yu chatted for a few more words, then left and quickly returned to the side hall. Entering the side hall, Zhang Tianshi was still sitting alone. Before Master Zhang could greet him, Tianshi Zhang spoke first and said, "You are back."

"Yes, father." Zhang Zhenren said respectfully.

"Sit down." Tianshi Zhang said kindly.

Master Zhang came and sat down on the futon where he had just sat down, and then said: "Father, Zhang Yu came here. He obviously found a treasure, but he didn't dare to exploit it himself and came to us for shelter. Why did you still agree to him? condition……"

There are no outsiders at the moment, so Master Zhang no longer calls him Heavenly Master, but father.

Zhang Tianshi said slowly: "I didn't expect that Zhang Yu would suddenly offer such conditions, but it is precisely because of this that it is worthy of admiration. Even if you know that you are at a disadvantage, you must be neither humble nor arrogant, and be on an equal footing with the other party. In addition, what he said makes sense. With the frost silver veins, some people are willing to show their sincerity. Although the thirty-six Dragon and Tiger Qi Building Pills are precious, they are nothing compared to the frost silver veins. Others Things are not worth mentioning, so just give them to him... You have to know that our Tianshi Mansion is a famous sect with a reputation that has lasted for thousands of years. It is impossible for us to do things like plundering for small profits... …”

"What my father said is absolutely true. The child is short-sighted." Zhang Zhenren said quickly.
