Chương 279: Lifetime’s Riddle Of Clear Sky Douluo (2)
If they truly had such a great effect, then wouldn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's face hereafter always rely on this child?
Watching the pondering expression Ning Fengzhi revealed, Tang San didn't hesitate at all, indifferently saying:
"I don't know whether uncle Ning would like those hidden weapons."
Ning Fengzhi returned to himself. From Tang San's tone he could tell that the hidden weapon manufacturing methods clearly weren't up for discussion. Even though Tang San was only a teenager, the calm cool-headedness and unswerving determination he had revealed wouldn't be so easily swayed.
Immediately Ning Fengzhi settled for the next best thing, saying to Tang San:
"We've seen the hidden weapons Rongrong was equipped with. Equipment just like hers, I want five hundred sets. I will pay ten thousand gold spirit coins for each set, what do you say?"
Tang San said:
"The price is no problem, but I must say something first. This full set of hidden weapons won't include the Flying God Claw on Rongrong's right hand. I can exchange it for another Silent Sleeve Dart. The rest will be the same. It's because the Flying God Claw isn't a hidden weapon, even though it has the ability to attack, it's even more important as support. Furthermore the Flying God Claw components are very difficult to make, it would be hard for a common artisan to complete."
"Eh?"
Ning Fengzhi hadn't seen Ning Rongrong use the Flying God Claw, and only now learned from Tang San that his daughter actually still had such a thing. But he was already extremely satisfied with the hidden weapons Ning Rongrong used before, and immediately nodded and smiled, saying:
"Good, that's settled. Additionally, I will pay you a further one million gold spirit coins, as repayment for the Beautiful Silk Tulip you gave Rongrong. At the same time I would also like to ask, do you still have Beautiful Silk Tulips? If you do, no matter the price, I want to trade for it."
Even with Ning Fengzhi's status, the lure of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was really too great. That was the only opportunity to take one step further for him who was already at the highest stage.
Unfortunately, Tang San shook his head,
"The Beautiful Silk Tulip is considered an immortal treasure herb, there is perhaps only the one in the present age. There won't grow more than one in the same place. Perhaps there is still others on the Continent, but I haven't found them if so. The one Rongrong has was my gift to her, how could I ask for compensation from uncle? Five million gold spirit coins is sufficient. However, I must make one thing clear, I am only in charge of the final assembly. For the intermediate component manufacturing I would ask uncle Ning to find a way on your own. According to Rongrong, your school possesses specialized ironworkers, so this shouldn't be difficult. At the same time, along with your school's own blacksmiths forging components, in the future it will also be easy to replenish all kinds of hidden weapons supplies, especially crossbow bolts and steel needles and such things."
While speaking, Tang San pulled out a pile of blueprints from Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, and after carefully looking them over he handed them to Ning Fengzhi,
"Silent Sleeve Dart, Stomp Crossbow and Flying Boot Blade components can all be made."
Watching Ning Fengzhi carefully accept the blueprints, The Bone Douluo to the side couldn't help saying:
"Kid, you really can do business! Without even making the components, you've really earned these five million gold coins too easily."
"Uncle Bone."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head at Gu Rong, hinting he shouldn't be talkative.
Right now Tang San didn't have too much interest in money, but rather hoped to even more quickly clarify his own identity. With a calm smile he said:
"If uncle Ning feels this price is too unreasonable, you can lower it, the price was proposed by you before. I have no complaints."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly:
"No need to lower it. Even though my words aren't precious like gold or jade, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still has credit."
Tang San nodded, saying:
"Then this is settled. Uncle Ning, thank you for your assistance just now. If there's nothing else, I would like to go back and rest. Regarding the hidden weapons, please forge one hundred sets of the hidden weapon components and deliver them here. After I've assembled them I will deliver them to you. For hidden weapons consumables you will have to create them on your own."
Ning Fengzhi didn't keep him, and personally saw him out of the meeting room. At the same time he pressed a golden bright and dazzling card in his hand. Ning Fengzhi didn't say how much money was inside, only telling Tang San that it was a down payment. The rest would wait until after the Hidden Weapons were assembled and delivered.
Looking at Tang San walking out, Gu Rong couldn't help frowning,
"Fengzhi, why would you promise so much? Even if our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is wealthy, we still can't be spending like this."
Ning Fengzhi delicately indicated the blueprints and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Uncle Bone. These blueprints Tang San gave me are extremely detailed, not only do they mark the required materials, but still indicates the required component casting methods in detail. Moreover there's no confusion about the order, all the components are classified by hidden weapon. There's no lack of skilled workers at our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, don't tell me we can't assemble them? It seems to me that five million gold spirit coins for buying this set of hidden weapons manufacturing blueprints isn't cheap. Taking a step back, even if we didn't have these hidden weapons blueprints, do you really think five million gold coins is enough to pay for that Beautiful Silk Tulip immortal treasure herb?"
Listening to Ning Fengzhi, Uncle Bone's expression eased, and he muttered:
"If you count it like that, then it doesn't seem like a loss."
Ning Rongrong to the side couldn't stand just listening,
"Dad, grandpa Bone, what are you scheming about my third brother?"
Ning Fengzhi glared at Ning Rongrong,
"Silly girl, don't call it scheming. As the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Master, everything daddy does must be done with the school in mind. Alright, you go back first. Continue cultivating properly at the Academy."
Ning Rongrong glared discontentedly at her dad, then gave the Bone Douluo an appealing look. But this time the Bone Douluo didn't help her, only showing her a meaningful expression, indicating she should leave first.
After Ning Rongrong left the meeting room, the only two people remaining were Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong. With Gu Rong's strength, it would be impossible for anyone to eavesdrop.
"Fengzhi, what do you think of that kid? Is he really Tang Hao's son?"
Gu Rong asked in a low voice.
Ning Fengzhi nodded, saying:
"Shouldn't be a mistake. The Clear Sky School's Clear Sky Hammer can't be imitated. According to what I know, there hasn't been any directly blood related disciples who left the Clear Sky School in recent years, as a whole they've kept a low profile. Only Tang Hao was unaccounted for. Besides, this child admits his father's name is Tang Hao. Going by his age, there isn't much discrepancy. I really hadn't expected Tang Hao to foster such an outstanding son after leaving the Clear Sky School."
Gu Rong said with a wry smile:
"How couldn't he be outstanding, after all, this child has Tang Hao and that woman as parents. This kid isn't just terrifyingly strong, his mind also isn't ordinary. By his appearance, he shouldn't have known about Tang Hao's identity, under such circumstances suddenly learning about it today and still managing to keep a cool head, this isn't something a ten something years old child is capable of. With time, I'm afraid he will be another Tang Hao. School master, isn't it..."
At this, Gu Rong's expression turned severe, his right hand making a knife like cutting gesture in front of him.
"No."
Ning Fengzhi resolutely rejected Gu Rong's proposal,
"Uncle Bone, never say something like this again. Even though the Clear Sky School has always been placed above our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, us three upper sects have always been like brothers, no matter the point of view, we can't harm this child. Even though even I can't guess what rate of development this child will be able to have in the future, judging by his twin spirits, perhaps, after several years he will also be a character like the Supreme Pontiff. To this child, even if we are unable to draw him into the school, we must still do everything in our power to make friends."
Gu Rong somewhat puzzled said:
"Why? Don't tell me we will watch such a threat mature? If in a few decades he also grows into a Title Douluo, the Clear Sky School will become a three Douluo sect. If this happens, then perhaps we will always be suppressed by them."
Ning Fengzhi sighed,
"What you say is admittedly true, but I must think of even more. Uncle Bone, you haven't left the school for a long time, and you've never cared for matters of the outside world. However, don't you feel that for the last twenty years the whole Continent's Spirit Master world has been too quiet?"
Gu Rong's expression changed slightly,
"School master, what do you mean?"
Ning Fengzhi said:
"I still remember the rising winds and scudding clouds of the Spirit Master world in my youth. Seen and unseen struggles happening everywhere. But in the last twenty years struggles like these have practically disappeared. The whole Continent, the Spirit Master world of the two Great Empires is frightfully quiet. But I vaguely feel the signs of mountain rain on the wind. Perhaps, in just a few years, the Spirit Master world's situation will change."
Gu Rong somewhat disbelieving said:
"Fengzhi, aren't you being a bit paranoid? The Continent's calm seems to me an inevitable trend. The Spirit Master world is mainly controlled in the hands of Spirit Hall and our seven great schools, everyone minding their own business between each other, the majority of Spirit Masters attaching themselves within these two sides. Even if it wasn't these two sides, there's still the two Great empires or perhaps the kingdoms and duchies for control. The whole situation would naturally stabilize. Would something still change in this?"
Ning Fengzhi laughed bitterly,
"If it's really like this, then that's naturally for the best. But I'm afraid it isn't so simple. I've already found some tiny hints, but I still can't be certain. Everything must still be handled carefully. But, I can be certain that if anything changes in the Continent, our seven great schools must band together. I don't dare speak for the lower four sects, but our upper three sects have always been like brothers, as long as our relationship is stable, I won't fear a change in power on any one side."
