Chapter 156: Appropriate display of muscles helps to deceive people better
Wen Rui, Li Moxian, Zi Yang Zhenren and Zhang Zhenren sat opposite each other, and the little secretary He Lingyun brought tea and snacks.

The Jinling was already at an altitude of ten thousand meters. There should have been strong winds blowing on the flight deck, but there was a small gold formation to block the strong winds, so it was not affected by the outside world. There was nothing wrong with using it as a meeting place.

Moreover, the sea of ​​clouds on both sides of the ship add a touch of fairyland and artistic conception.

"You two, please forgive us for the poor hospitality. Please have some tea." Wen Rui said politely, looking at the Zi Yang Yuan Zhong duo with great anticipation.

There is no doubt that something was added to the tea, and Wen Rui also wanted to know whether the nanorobots had any effect on the immortal level.

However, Master Zi Yang seemed to have noticed something and winked at Master Zhang who was about to drink tea. The latter quickly put down the teacup he had already picked up.

Wen Rui felt depressed, and guessed that it was because he had just used the nanorobot to trace and break the Hunyuan Banner that aroused the vigilance of Master Zi Yang, who realized that Wen Rui could release an extremely tiny magical weapon.

During the Battle of Conferred Gods, Jiejiao's Lu Yue had carried out a similar plague curse and biological attack. True Man Zi Yang was considered an knowledgeable man, so it was normal for him to suspect that Wen Rui had used Lu Yue's methods.

"Master Wen, there is something I don't understand." True Man Zi Yang stared at Wen Rui meaningfully, "You are obviously a mortal, how could you use such an incredible magical power, and when you used the magical power, there was no fluctuation of immortal power or spiritual power?"

Being able to use great supernatural powers is not surprising. What is surprising is that the supernatural powers can be used without consuming the vitality of heaven and earth. This is what Master Zi Yang is most concerned about.

The way of the sky is more than damage but not enough to make up for.

The practice of immortals and monks is to draw the essence of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves, which is a form of plunder.

No resources are infinite, and the same goes for the Yuan Spirits of Heaven and Earth. Every once in a while, a great catastrophe will befall Heaven and Earth, and every time there is a great catastrophe, there must be an immortal to respond to it. The immortals who respond to the catastrophe are the ones who give back to the Heavenly Dao on behalf of all sentient beings in the Three Realms.

But even so, we can still make up for the shortfall by taking away what is left.

This is also one of the reasons why spiritual energy is gradually depleted.

"Haha, we believe in teaching everyone without distinction. What does 'teaching without distinction' mean? You in the Chan sect cannot teach those who have no affinity with immortality, but we in the Jie sect can! You in the Chan sect cannot teach the demon race, but we in the Jie sect can. In short, we in the Jie sect will take care of things that you in the Chan sect cannot manage, and we in the Jie sect will do things that you in the Chan sect dare not do!"

Wen Rui said proudly: "If we can only practice with spiritual energy and immortal energy, move mountains and fill the sea, and change the world, how can we teach everyone? These are the secret methods passed down by Master Tongtian. If you want to learn, then you can apostatize and join the Jie Sect. I will teach you."

True Man Zi Yang was rendered speechless, and was helped by Wen Rui to smooth over the criticism. Even though he was extremely unwilling, the situation was stronger than he was. As an immortal under the sky, he had no choice but to bow his head and swallow his anger.

Li Moshen was scratching her head as she listened to this. She was an immortal who had heard Master Tongtian preach in the Biyou Palace with her own ears. She had no recollection of the master ever saying these things. She even suspected that the master had given Wen Rui special treatment.

This possibility does exist and is very high. Wen Zhong has been treated specially for his crimes. It is reasonable for the leader to personally teach some secret techniques to this kind of spokesperson who was born to meet the calamity and a disciple who travels around the world.

"Let's get back to the topic. Regarding the repurchase of Qingfeng Mountain, if Brother Ziyang is sincere in buying it, I will also give you a discounted price of 500 million spirit stones."

Master Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wen, our debt is only 498 million. Why did you add a zero to the discount and make it 500 million?"

Wen Rui curled his lips and said, "That's not how it's calculated. The value of the real estate pledge is definitely higher than the loan amount. I value Qingfeng Mountain at 1 billion yuan, and I'm selling it to you for 500 million at a 50% discount. Isn't that insincere?"

Master Ziyang glared at Master Zhang, then nodded and said, "This price is indeed sincere. It's only a two million premium, which is quite generous!"

As a person who is capable of being the head of a sect, he naturally has a good vision. Wen Rui did not mention the recent fight between the two sects, nor did he ask him for war reparations, which was already considered giving him face.

If he is still as petty as Master Zhang, Wen Rui will overturn the table and throw Qingfeng Mountain into the eye of the East China Sea. Even if he can get Qingfeng Mountain back in the future, the combined costs of reputation loss, mountain depreciation, transportation costs, and replanting the mountain will not be less than one billion yuan.

Wen Rui liked dealing with smart people, and said happily: "That's great, then hand over the spirit stones. After the handover, I will put it back for you for free, and I guarantee that it will be restored to the same state as before it was pulled out."

“However, our sect currently has less than 500 million spiritual stones on hand…” said Master Zi Yang with a bitter face.

"That's not urgent. I'll deposit Qingfeng Mountain next to Lishan Mountain. When I have enough money, I'll send it back to you." "No, no, no, I don't want to be neighbors with the Old Mother of Lishan Mountain. I'm afraid of disturbing her peace." Ziyang Zhenren waved his hands repeatedly: "I only ask Sect Master Wen to return Qingfeng Mountain to its original place first, and then propose a clause of delayed payment, so that we can have some time to raise funds."

"I think your banner is quite nice, why not mortgage it to me..."

Zi Yang Zhenren shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, that is a treasure bestowed by the ancestor himself, I dare not mortgage it to others."

Wen Rui said disdainfully: "You dare to mortgage the ancestor's temple, what else are you afraid of? I won't be surprised if you mortgage your ancestor one day."

Zi Yang Zhenren's face turned pale and blue at Wen Ruisun's words. He smiled and said, "My sect just got a spiritual treasure of merit some time ago. The Jade Ding Immortal Sect values ​​it at 1 billion spiritual stones. It's called the 'Limited Gloves'. I wonder if this item can be used as collateral?"

Wen Rui's face darkened, thinking that if he did too many bad things, he would be hit by a boomerang. He frowned and said, "I was also there when the limited gloves were unearthed. Everyone knows what happened. I can value the treasure at 300 million spirit stones at most. The Jade Tripod Immortal Sect values ​​it at billion. You can mortgage it to them and borrow money from them."

Zhenren Zi Yang glared at Zhenren Zhang again with hatred. The resentful look made Zhenren Zhang's scalp tingle and he sat there feeling uncomfortable.

Wen Rui raised his eyebrows and said in a friendly tone: "Just mortgage the Hunyuan Banner to me. I will change the full amount to a mortgage and waive the interest. The down payment is only 1 million spirit stones, and the annual mortgage repayment is 5000 million. It can be paid off in eight years. It's only eight years. It takes more than eight years for your ancestor to take a nap."

"This……"

True Man Zi Yang hesitated. For a cultivator, eight years was not a long time. But for an immortal, eight years was like a passing moment, passing in the blink of an eye.

The temptation of interest exemption is huge. If you calculate carefully, if 10 million spirit stones are calculated at an annual interest rate of even %, you will have to pay an additional million spirit stones.

Wen Rui struck while the iron was hot: "Brother Ziyang, when have you ever done business with me, Wen Rui, and I ever defaulted on a payment? When you defaulted on my payment, I always delivered the goods on time, and I took all the losses from being robbed by the rabbit bandits along the way. I never made excuses for not shipping the goods, right?"

Master Zi Yang's face turned red. It was indeed the fact. Wen Rui had been doing business for hundreds of years, and there had been problems with product quality, but his reputation for delivery was indeed solid.

He is not one to treat people differently based on their status and never does disgusting things like bullying customers. Even when doing business with monsters and demons, he always operates with integrity and honors his obligations once an agreement is signed.

Wen Rui continued to add fuel to the fire: "If your sect's reputation was not flawed, I would not have asked you to mortgage the Hunyuan Banner. Just now, you even tried to cheat me with the Limited Gloves as a payment. I didn't bother with you, but your character is really shameless."

"Eight years is a short time, but this 'Hunyuan Banner' is really a treasure that can suppress destiny, and it is of great significance." Zi Yang Zhenren said in a dilemma: "To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the protection of treasures like the Hunyuan Banner, during the previous conflict, our sect would have been restricted everywhere and we wouldn't know how to fight back."

Wen Rui sneered, "You are the only one who treasures the banner. I don't think it makes much difference whether you have it or not. It is still invisible to my secret magic. If it weren't for the fact that we are disciples of Taoist Hongjun, I'm afraid it would be embarrassing for the ancestors to see each other. I asked Li Moxian to snatch it just now, and I'm afraid she might have gotten it."

True Man Zi Yang's face turned red again. He still didn't understand how Wen Rui broke the absolute invisibility effect of the Hun Yuan Banner.

Wen Rui patted his chest and promised, "At worst, I can swear a great oath to the devil in my heart that I will never use this banner while I am keeping it. This way, you don't have to worry about me using this banner against you, and you don't have to worry about the news that this banner is temporarily kept by the Jinling Sect leaking out. After eight years, when the payment is settled, I will personally return it to your door. If it is lost or damaged, I will compensate you with an acquired treasure of the same rank. All of this can be written into the agreement."

"Let me think about it again and again..." Master Zi Yang still couldn't make up his mind.

Wen Rui's face darkened, and he sneered, "You take your time to think about it. I will transport Qingfeng Mountain back first. It takes a lot of time to carry this mountain. But next time you come to me, I will calculate the freight with you. Lishan is thousands of miles away. I will charge you 10,000 spirit stones for one mile, but I have to consider the round-trip cost. Sheng Hui will pay 200 million for the freight, and the mortgage will be cancelled, and the interest will be calculated as usual."

Zi Yang Zhenren was forced into a corner, and waved his hands helplessly, "No, no, don't count it anymore, I have agreed!"

The two signed the agreement on the spot, and True Man Zi Yang reluctantly took out the Hunyuan Banner and handed it to Wen Rui.

Wen Rui put away the treasure and showed a look of disdain: "What a good thing, only you treat it as a treasure. I have a cheap alternative to stealth technology. My huge flying boat appeared at the gate of your sect, but you didn't notice it. I not only have stealth technology, but also anti-stealth technology."

Although he said this, in fact, he was already very happy in his heart. After getting such a precious treasure, Wen Rui's purpose was not just to use it. He wanted to open a separate laboratory to conduct detailed research and reverse engineer the advanced technology mastered by the saints.

Absolute invisibility is actually nothing big. The most powerful feature of the Hunyuan Banner is that it can shrink the ground into an inch, and can move at high speeds on the ground almost instantly. With this technology, Wen Rui can save a lot of effort in digging tunnels, and the improvement in mobility is significant.
