Manager Chen was hesitant, but then something suddenly occurred to him, and he quickly added: "It's not just jade sea grass, seaweed, but also other sea spiritual herbs such as dragon's root, dark brown leaves, etc."

"Nearby islands..." Zhang Shiping tapped the table a few times, paused, and then frowned and asked.

"It's all the same." Manager Chen nodded quickly and responded. He saw Zhang Shiping frowning slightly and felt uneasy.

"I know, if this is true or not, I will ask fellow Daoist Wang later to find out. Sit down!" Zhang Shiping nodded. He wanted to ask again, but something suddenly occurred to him, so he asked Manager Chen to do it.

sit down.

Hearing this, Manager Chen's eyes lit up with joy and he sat upright.

Zhang Shiping looked at the three stewards behind him. They stood up one after another and explained what happened in recent days. Everything was going well and Zhang Shiping would not be upset.

One of these five stewards is a member of the Zhang family. If the steward Chen just now was a disciple of his Zhang family, Zhang Shiping would not be able to handle him so lightly. He would have to at least scold him a few times to convince everyone.

This is just one of the most basic means of control.

Just verbal praise does not mean closeness, and a momentary scolding does not mean disgust. Employing people is a big science. Only when you understand it can everything go smoothly. But if you indulge in this way, you will inevitably fall into a pit.

A heart stained with dust has no hope of everlasting life.

Therefore, even though there were many dynasties and kingdoms under the Xuanyuan Sect, the monks sent by the sect were just foundation-building and Qi-refining disciples who had no hope of achieving elixirs in their lifetime.

As for the Zhang family, even though there is a lineage in the secular world that has been in the country for 20 or 30 years, Zhang Shiping has never been there even once. He only gave instructions to "govern with benevolence". An older member of the Zhang family

The monks in the early stages of foundation building were passed down to the founder of the Zhang Kingdom.

Although Zhang Shiping didn't take it to heart, the Zhang family couldn't do this. There were foundation-building monks in the family, and they led eight or nine Qi-refining juniors to sit in the royal capital to prevent some inconspicuous casual cultivators from having any evil intentions.

Xuan Yuanzong and the Zhang family looked ugly in that way.

Then Zhang Shiping explained some things to the five people and let them disperse. He stayed in the garden and dealt with a few more difficult things. These were all accumulated after he left, and he, the elder, was needed.

decision.

While he was thinking about it, more than half an hour had passed before he knew it. Zhang Shiping emitted several red lights expressionlessly, notifying the five people of his decision and ordering them to follow it.

That’s it.

"Alas!" Zhang Shiping sighed when he saw no one around. These chores were really laborious and did not help his practice at all. But even though he was extremely unhappy, he could not refuse. After all, the war could continue.

If he stays behind for too long, the other Jindan elders will definitely complain!

Zhang Shiping stood up and walked slowly for a few hundred meters on the stone path in the garden. After relaxing his mind, he flew towards the vicinity again. He looked at several exquisite courtyards where the spiritual light had been restrained and dissipated. He felt it with his spiritual consciousness.

In front of a small courtyard nearest to him, he slowly fell down and saw a Jindan real man wearing a blue shirt slowly walking out in front of the door.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please come in, please come in." The blue-shirted monk smiled with a smile on his face when he saw Zhang Shiping.

"Brother Ji Chang, you are so polite. I went to Nanming City a few days ago, and by chance, I happened to find a few taels of Blue Sea Pine Ming Tea." Zhang Shiping said with a smile.

These few taels of Blue Sea Pine Ming Tea were found by Zhang Shiping before, but not in Nanming City. Taoist Ji Chang, apart from refining elixirs, only drank this tea in his life, and Zhang Shiping was also a tea lover.

However, gentlemen are harmonious but different. What Taoist Ji Chang likes most is five-flavor tea.

The so-called five-flavor tea is to roast the tea leaves in a pottery pot over low heat, then pour boiling spiritual water into it, simmer over slow fire, and when the tea is fragrant, add other condiments to make it fragrant and numb.

, salty, pungent, sweet, with clear layers, leaving a mark on the tip of the tongue.

However, Zhang Shiping's words were too complicated, lost the leisure, and lost the original meaning. He bluntly said that bitter, sweet, strong, clear, and light are the real five flavors of tea.

Neither of them can convince each other, but their relationship is getting better and better, also because they have similar temperaments. Of course, there is no conflict of interest between them.

After sitting with Taoist Ji Chang for almost half an hour, Zhang Shiping took his leave and went to sit with several other alchemy masters who were free. They drew closer to each other and explained while talking and laughing.

Knowing his purpose, he arranged the elixirs requested by his superiors.

Among the several people he visited, there was one monk who was still in the foundation-building stage, but he was the only one. Although this person, through his status as an alchemy master, could be on equal terms with the golden elixir monks, in Zhang Shiping's eyes, he would only be the best in his life.

That's it, a fool who doesn't care about priorities!

After finishing these social chores, Zhang Shiping flew towards the city. When he saw patrolling soldiers, he called the leader and asked him a few questions. When he found out where the commander Wang Daoxiu was,

, he flew straight towards the palace where Xuan Yuan Sect was located.

The patrol here in Nanxiao City is led by a Yuanying True Lord from Hongyue Tower. There are three Jindan True Lords under his command, from Hongyue Tower, Xuanyuan Sect, and Bixiao Sect. Wang Daoxiu is one of them.

Jindan Commander. The True Lord of Hongyue Tower practices in a spiritual mountain outside the city all year round. He almost does not care about the specific daily matters, and Wang Daoxiu and the other three people make decisions by themselves.

The patrol is not just in and around Nanxiao City. In fact, the area around Xiaofeng City with a radius of three thousand miles is within the patrol scope, which naturally includes many islands where spiritual grass is cultivated.

This kind of logistical matter is naturally the focus of the patrol, so Zhang Shiping does not believe that the Wangdao cultivator does not know about this matter. Manager Chen has insufficient cultivation and insufficient status. There are some things that he is qualified to know, and Zhang Shiping is needed.

The elder came forward, which is why he did not criticize harshly.

Wang Daoxiu's job is much harder than Zhang Shiping's. He is now even busier than Zhang Shiping. They are both brothers in trouble. But thinking of this, Zhang Shiping can't help but feel relieved.

However, this matter has not been resolved for more than half a year. I am afraid it is a bit tricky. I think Wang Daoxiu must be a little worried these days.

Zhang Shiping thought in his heart, hoping that what he guessed was wrong, because according to what Manager Chen said before, the spiritual herbs that have been reduced in production in the sea are all spiritual algae, and the range is still so wide. It is really too coincidental.

There are eight or nine cases where the Hai Clan is doing something secretly.
