Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 121 The Immortal Abode of Immortality, the Taoist Family of Longevity.

Confucius said: "When friends come from afar, one must first afflict their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, leave them destitute, whip them dozens of times, and drive them away from their homeland."

As a half-Confucian disciple, Qin Feng followed the Master's words and acted accordingly.

As the host, after Qin Feng became the president, he took the lead in "hospitally entertaining" the envoys from the six countries who had come from afar. He first arranged the worst hotel and then the worst food, aiming to empty their bodies and starve them.

As for the whipping of dozens of times and expulsion from the country, this has not been arranged yet. The main reason is that the envoys of the six states have not yet resisted. If they do resist, Qin Feng will definitely whip them and expel them from the country.

The envoys from the six kingdoms were not to be trifled with by Qin Feng's blatant and undisguised despicable behavior. They knew that Qin Feng was just trying to disgust them and drive them away.

Hey! We guys are really going to take you on!

Don't think that the harsh environment will disgust us and make us leave. I'd rather dig a cellar on the moon and live like a primitive man than leave the foundation!

We've got a long road ahead of us, and the six of us will bring you down sooner or later, you bastard! The chairmanship will definitely be ours!

"Mr. Qi, the envoys from the six kingdoms still haven't come to protest! They're just engaging in endless verbal sparring!"

"Lord Mengchang took cold showers and even went for cold swims in temperatures of minus ten degrees Celsius! He even made a boastful statement: 'This little bit of torture is nothing! If you've got the guts, bring on the real deal! If I, Lord Mengchang, even flinch, I'll change my surname to yours!'"

"Lord Pingyuan ate raw Martian beef and talked about environmental protection! He said how miserable he used to be, and now he's living a good life here. He even thanked Mr. Qi."

"What's even more amazing is Prince Dan. He's extremely satisfied with the bedrooms you arranged, which range from -20 degrees Celsius to 80 degrees Celsius, and he even insists on sitting in them for six hours every day! He even stubbornly claims that Mr. Qi's arrangements are truly thoughtful and will help him advance his martial arts!"

Hu Hai cautiously reported to Qin Feng.

While doing push-ups, Qin Feng asked, "Did they leave any traces?"

"No," Hu Hai said. "The Four Lords of the Warring States and Lord Chunshen have already led their men to start digging cellars and underground bunkers by hand, building new long-term outdoor bunkers for themselves. It seems they intend to oppose you, sir, for a long time."

Qin Feng laughed, "I like resilient opponents. Let them dig. Once they've dug enough, I'll send bulldozers to demolish these illegal structures!"

Hu Hai was taken aback. "This...this isn't quite right!"

Qin Feng smiled faintly, "I am the chairman, and I call the shots within the foundation! Since they have chosen to be my opponents, showing mercy to them is being cruel to myself! You must learn this principle!"

Hu Hai nodded hurriedly, "Understood, thank you for your guidance, sir!"

Qin Feng stretched his arms. "I'm going to take a shower. I have a big show to perform tonight! You should change your clothes too, don't dress so flashy!"

"yes!"

Watching Mr. Qi's laughing figure disappear into the distance, Hu Hai thought to himself, "Damn, my husband really is one to settle scores today and never suffer in silence, preferring to torment others rather than wrong himself!"

These six representatives are in for a rough time.

One hour later.

A black military spaceship appeared on the eighteenth-floor rooftop dock of the Foundation.

The spaceship's paint scheme was clearly that of the Qin Dynasty's three major armies, the Security Forces. The spaceship's porthole opened, and two figures appeared.

The two men, an elderly man and a young general, looked down and whispered something to each other.

"Elder Clan, Meng Tian greets you!"

"General Meng Tian, ​​you are too kind. I am no longer a senior clan elder; I am merely an old royal man retiring on the moon!"

"Elder, you are too kind. Have you heard of the fate of the envoys from the six kingdoms?"

"I've heard a little about it. It's said that Qi Tian coerced and oppressed the envoys of the six kingdoms, not only driving them out of their previous dormitories but also making them sleep in the wasteland of the meteorite crater!"

"The elder is absolutely right. However, the envoys from the six kingdoms are no pushovers either. They're already digging bunkers and preparing for survival in the wild. It seems they intend to drag this out with Qi Tian for a long time!"

"Sigh! Young man, why make things so tense! Qi Tian doesn't understand basic human decency! Always leave a way out for others, so you can meet again later! He's ruined everyone's path; do you think he'll leave them a way out when they gain power?"

"The Elder is absolutely right! Qi Tian's actions are somewhat extreme, even shameless! This is nothing short of despicable!"

"However, Your Majesty should have known beforehand that Qi Tian was appointed as the president. Qi Tian is someone Your Majesty trusts, and even Prince Hu Hai is his patron, which shows how much Your Majesty values ​​him. As subjects of Qin, we should treat Qin officials with courtesy and not let personal feelings or opinions interfere."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder. Meng Tian understands. Young Master and Qi Tian have arrived."

On the eighteenth floor rooftop, Qi Tian and Hu Hai appeared, walked down the spaceship's gangway, and the four met.

Elder Wang Bo and Meng Tian bowed respectfully to Hu Hai, and then Qin Feng bowed to them as well.

To be honest, Qin Feng was a little surprised by Wang Bo and Meng Tian.

Logically speaking, for this kind of shady deal, you, Ying Zheng, could have just given me some ragtag troops. But you've assigned me these two great masters, especially since both of them have fought against me before.

Wang Bo had fought with him in Xianyang for a long time.

Meng Tian was also an opponent with whom he had fought on a physical level.

This shows that Ying Zheng was telling himself, "Don't try anything funny, just work hard. The supervisors are your old rivals, and neither of them will have any good feelings towards you!"

Secondly, Ying Zheng valued this transaction highly. He wanted to determine whether the demon race truly had good intentions or whether the demon race's throne was a deception.

The group entered the spaceship, with Meng Tian enthusiastically leading the way. "The cargo and the artificial satellite for the target location are ready! Let's set off!"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, General Meng Tian."

At this moment, Elder Wang and Qin Feng were walking together. Elder Wang smiled and said, "This transaction is said to have been planned by Young Hero Qi Tian. Young Hero Qi Tian must know a lot about the demon race!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng realized that the old man was trying to find out more about him.

Qin Feng smiled slightly, "I wouldn't say we're that familiar, it's just that I've been here a long time and know a lot of people."

Wang Bo nodded, "No wonder the King entrusted such an important matter to Mr. Qi."

Qin Feng then said, "The transaction hasn't started yet, so let me reiterate the key points of this transaction."

"This transaction involves spoils from the Master's Journey Through the World, which he defeated some demons. These spoils were transported here by some of my demon friends, and we are responsible for receiving them!"

"At the same time, we should also send them the goods that the Master needs this time so that they can pass them on to the Master."

"Therefore, the entire process must be fast, discreet, clean, and efficient!"

Wang Bo said, "I already understand the details. The Great Qin Observatory has already activated its celestial obfuscation mechanism in our trading area! Rest assured!"

Qin Feng nodded, "That's good. During the transaction, I'll coordinate with our demon friends, and you two will handle the transactions!"

Meng Tian asked, "Won't they withhold the goods?"

Qin Feng laughed, "Don't worry, there will be many more deals like this in the future. They won't be that short-sighted!"

The spaceship roared past and soon approached a ring-shaped asteroid fragmentation zone between Mars and Earth.

Using the positioning system, the Qin spacecraft quickly landed on a smooth meteorite satellite platform in the fracture zone.

At this moment, several Qin military cargo ships had already docked on the platform. As Qin Feng and his group piloted the ships down slowly, the Golden Fire Cavalry special forces members below stepped forward.

There were rows and rows of classic mechs, all painted with a uniform golden flame design. There were at least a hundred or so standing in front of me!

Without a doubt, this was Meng Tian's most prized possession among his Golden Fire Cavalry. Meng Tian was worried that the demon race would turn trade into war, so he made preparations for the mecha brigade in advance.

Wearing protective sunglasses, Qin Feng stepped off the spaceship and looked around at the drifting chaos. He boldly guessed that there must be more Qin Dynasty spaceships behind them to prevent the demon race from taking the opportunity to invade the human world.

Meng Tian was being far too cautious. The demon race was currently preoccupied with their own problems and had no interest in invading the prosperous human world.

However, caution is always better than carelessness. Meng Tian's rise to become a star general of the empire was inseparable from his prudence and caution.

As Qin Feng and the others appeared on the platform, the agreed time quickly arrived.

Meng Tian pointed to the air and exclaimed, "Look!"

Dozens of fragments of meteorite near the small platform began to converge, melting and transforming into magma that spread out in space, forming a terrifying abyssal blood gate!

Soon, one after another, demon race spaceships appeared in the blood-red portal of the demon race.

In contrast to the spaceships of the human realm, the spaceships of the demon race are all about freedom, imagining the future, and a retro style with a nostalgic theme.

The spaceships poured out of the portal with a clatter, quickly occupying the other half of the small satellite platform's area.

At this moment, the light ladder of the flagship in the middle of the demon fleet descended, and a tall, dark-skinned, domineering middle-aged man with a pair of bull horns on his head hurriedly got off the spaceship and strode towards Qin Feng.

This person is none other than the second boss of the Qiongqi Auction House!

Qin Feng's face lit up with joy upon seeing an old acquaintance. He gestured to the clan elder and Meng Tian behind him, "Don't rush, I'll go talk to him!"

Qin Feng strode towards the second boss.

The two embraced warmly as soon as they met.

"Mr. Qi, it's great to see you again!"

"How's your luck with money lately, Second Boss? Did you strike it rich? If you do, don't forget your brother!"

"Hahaha! My fortune is all thanks to Mr. Qi! The huge profit you brought me last time was equivalent to three years of my income!"

"Let's work together to make money! Let's earn it together!"

"Yes, yes! Mr. Qi, is the goods ready?"

"Of course! A whole fleet of classic mechs, incredibly well-preserved, all of them at least Xuan-grade. If we take them back and equip them with Xuan-grade weapons, they'll all be top-quality Earth-grade or better! With such a mech force, Hongmeng Abyss will no longer be bullied in the Eighteen Cave Heavens!"

"Sigh, these mechs are only good for self-defense at best. If we want them to really stand up to scrutiny, we'd need at least two more zeros!"

"That's no problem at all! As long as the materials are in place, the mecha will be a piece of cake, right?"

"By the way, I brought all the materials you asked for; the remaining seven spaceships are all materials! Every single attribute spirit stone has been carefully selected!"

"Alright, that's great, let's begin the transaction!"

"become!"

After Qin Feng and the second boss reached an agreement, they waved to each other, and behind them, the leaders of the demon race and Meng Tian of the Great Qin began to hand over the goods.

The second boss put his arm around Qin Feng's shoulder and strolled into the distance. "Mr. Qi, the throne asked me to pass on a message to you."

Qin Feng asked curiously, "What decree does the throne have?"

The second boss whispered, "The human race has imprisoned quite a few of our great demons from the Hongmeng Abyss. He said if you have any connections, could you help us retrieve them? The price is negotiable!"

Qin Feng hesitated, "The Great Demon of Hongmeng Abyss has been captured by humans? How is that possible!"

"It's true!" the second boss muttered. "Within the solar system, the demon race and humans rarely clash, but outside the solar system, it's a different story. Both demon race experts and humans support the alien dogs, and when the alien dogs are all killed off, human experts will fight to the death with demon race experts. In this situation, many human experts have been captured by us, and many demon race experts have been captured by humans! Now that we've started trading and becoming friends, it's time to resolve this historical issue, isn't it?"

Qin Feng nodded upon hearing this, saying, "That makes sense. Is this matter that urgent?"

The second boss laughed and said, "Mr. Qi, it's good that you're willing. There's no rush. Actually, our demon race's main adversaries in the outer realms are the six states of Yan, Qi, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Chu. These six states are the most aggressive in their aggression in the outer realms. Their joint blockade of Qin has actually left Qin with almost no colonies in the outer realms! Many of our experts have been captured by Yan, and Yan has the greatest hatred for us! If we can get Yan to release our demon race experts, we can also release Yan's experts."

Qin Feng nodded. "This matter involves things outside the solar system. I'm not very familiar with the situation. I'll go back and look into it, and give you an answer as soon as possible, okay?"

The second boss laughed happily, "Good, Mr. Qi, now we understand. By the way, I have some good news for you, Mr. Qi. Yesterday, Master Meng appeared in the Meishan area of ​​Hongmeng Heaven and wiped out all the Meishan Eight Monsters, the descendants of the former Seven Sages of Meishan! These Meishan Eight Monsters were notorious troublemakers in Hongmeng Heaven, but Master Meng burned them all to the ground with a single fire. Not a single one of the hundreds of thousands of demons in Meishan survived, demonstrating Master Meng's divine power!"

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. "Damn, Master Meng is so awesome! He actually wiped out that entire family!" he thought. "But if the Seven Sages of Meishan knew, would they come after Master Meng?"

Qin Feng sighed, "Master, your divine might is truly awe-inspiring."

The second boss said, "By the way, I heard that Master's next stop is the East Sea!"

Qin Feng laughed and asked, "Where in the East Sea?"

The second boss said, "On the shores of the East Sea, in the country of Aolai, lies Jianye City!"

Qin Feng stopped in his tracks, inwardly exclaiming, "Holy crap, Aolai Kingdom and Jianye City actually exist!"

Is there a Dragon Palace in the East Sea?

Is there a mountain in the sea called Flower and Fruit Mountain?

Is there a cave on Huaguo Mountain called Water Curtain Cave?

There's a stone outside the Water Curtain Cave called Sun Wukong?

Arranged chronologically, the journey to the West took place during the Tang Dynasty, while before that, Sun Wukong was imprisoned for five hundred years.

Five hundred years ago, wasn't that the period of the Former Qin Dynasty?

In other words, Sun Wukong may have already been born, or is about to be born!

The Great Sage is my mythical idol, Qin Feng!

If an idol is born and I don't show up, it's undoubtedly a disrespect to the idol!

Regardless of whether the monkey is here or not, I must make time to visit Aolai Kingdom on the coast of the East China Sea to see if my Great Sage has been born!

If the monkeys are born without any planning, wouldn't my time travel have been in vain?

Qin Feng then remembered that his clone was still in the Demon Realm and asked, "Second Boss, have you ever heard of the Demon Realm?"

Upon hearing this, the second boss hesitated and asked, "Why would Mr. Qi be interested in the Demon Realm?"

Qin Feng naturally wouldn't tell him that his clone had been lost in the fog of the seventh level of the Demon Realm for two days and hadn't found the way out yet, with no end in sight.

I had no choice but to ask you Hongmengtian experts for the secrets of the dungeon.

Qin Feng simply smiled and said, "Just a casual question."

The second boss slowed his tone and said gently, "This Demon Realm is no simple matter."

Upon hearing that there was hope, Qin Feng lowered his voice and asked, "How is it not simple?"

"I wouldn't tell anyone else about this," the second boss said. "But Mr. Qi and I are old friends, so I'll tell you a little something."

"When the Demon Realm appeared in the Primordial Abyss, the four kings of the Primordial Abyss were furious. What kind of thing dared to come to our Primordial Abyss? You can't bully demons like this!"

"The four primordial beasts joined forces to storm the Demon Realm! They fought their way to the very top of the Demon Realm!"

"Guess what you saw?"

Qin Feng shook his head. "Second Boss, don't keep me in suspense. What did you see?"

The second boss lowered his voice, "I saw a tree! A tree as big as heaven and earth, covered with terrifying, white, tender, hundred-foot-tall baby fruits!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's mind went blank, and he was stunned. A tree full of fruits that looked like babies—wasn't that the Ginseng Fruit Tree?

The second boss then asked, "The Fourth Throne asks, who is this great being?"

"The master of that demon tree has arrived at this moment. He said that he had no intention of disturbing the four fellow Daoists. He came here by chance and had no intention of disturbing the Hongmeng Abyss."

"The Four Kings then asked the other party where they came from!"

The other party simply chuckled and recited, "The immortal abode of eternal life, the Taoist family that lives as long as heaven!"

"Fourth King, what is your purpose in coming here and remaining secluded?"

"The time for his birth has not yet come. The Heavenly Dao is not yet revealed, and he will remain nameless." Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he invited the four thrones out of the Demon Realm.

"The four kings clashed with the Demon Lord, and were still defeated by a mere flick of his sleeve—it's simply unbelievable!"

"Very few demons know about this, basically only a handful of core members! After all, this is a shameful matter for the Throne, so Mr. Qi, please don't speak carelessly."

Qin Feng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "I understand, I understand, Qi Tian understands such matters."

Qin Feng's heart was in turmoil!

"The immortal abode of eternal life, the Taoist home of living as long as heaven"—isn't this the couplet on the gate of Wuzhuang Temple?

As for the fact that his time for being born has not yet come, it is easy to understand. When Zhen Yuanzi was born, it was during the journey to the West to obtain the Buddhist scriptures, and now it is not yet time for the journey to the West!

Even the last move, rolling up four thrones with his sleeve, was all too familiar—the signature move of Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple, "Universe in the Sleeve"!

At this moment, Qin Feng reconnected with the terrifying, hundred-foot-tall infants he had seen in the [Last Light], the ancestor who called himself Qingfeng Mingyue, and the tentacle vines that had left a deep impression on him!

All the mysteries of the demonic realm vanished completely before Qin Feng's eyes!

In essence, this Demon Realm is Wuzhuang Temple.

The tentacle vines are the roots of the ginseng fruit tree!

The demons that died inside were simply absorbed by the ginseng fruit tree.

Even the seventh boss is a ginseng fruit!

The eighth floor boss is Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two children!

The final boss is Zhen Yuanzi!

The final boss can even take down the four thrones, so dealing with a nobody like Qin Feng is definitely a piece of cake.

The idea of ​​trying to beat the game and defeat the boss is simply stupid and idiotic!

Who is Zhen Yuanzi? Even Sun Wukong would call him "Big Brother" with a heavy heart. He is a contemporary of the three founders of the religions and a junior to the Nine Luminaries. The only label on this old man is "invincible".

It seems I need to change my strategy for this clone dungeon run; clearing the dungeon and defeating the boss is a very wrong approach!

Just as Qin Feng and the second boss were chatting idly...

Not far away, the demon race and the human race had already completed their transaction.

Beneath Wang Bo's calm exterior, his old hands trembled violently inside his sleeves. He had just witnessed the precious spirit stones from seven entire spaceships being loaded onto the Great Qin's cargo ships! Today's transaction was enough to sustain the Great Qin treasury for thirty years! The demon race was truly too wealthy!

As Meng Tian watched as he traded one second-hand Xuan-grade mech after another for so many premium materials, he could already picture countless brand-new Di-grade mechs appearing before him. Materials can be broken, and my Great Qin will have no worries!

On the other side, the ram-headed monster in charge of trade among the demon race was also overjoyed. The human smuggled mechs in the black market were all missing limbs and were not complete. Even if they were repaired and patched up, it would be difficult to standardize them into equipment. Now, not only are a thousand complete sets, but more importantly, they are standard military products. Equipping a thousand-strong elite mech squadron with them would be no problem at all!

The parties involved in the transaction chatted and laughed, and for a moment everyone forgot about each other's origins and tribes.

"Elder Da is truly vigorous despite his age, and General Meng Tian is indeed a rising star of the empire. I have truly learned a lot this time."

"Advisor Yang is too kind. Compared to us, Advisor Yang is only four hundred years old yet he holds such a position, which shows his exceptional intelligence!"

"That's right, Advisor Yang will be a friend of our Great Qin from now on. Let's cooperate more!"

"That's right, Hongmeng Yuan and Great Qin should have a friendship!"

Pleasant times are always fleeting.

Soon, Qin Feng said goodbye to the second boss.

The demon cargo ships present returned fully loaded with goods, while the human Qin fleet also sailed away with seven ships full of treasures.

Before leaving, Meng Tian made sure to have a spaceship fire a star-destroying cannon to destroy the small platform where the transaction had just taken place, leaving no evidence behind.

Inside the cabin, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Bo, and Qin Feng were all smiles.

Wang Bo, in particular, exclaimed with ecstasy, "With so many treasures, given time, our Great Qin will surely break the blockade of the six states! At that time, Mr. Qi will be the one to deserve the greatest credit!"

Meng Tian laughed and said, "Mr. Qi said long ago that he could trade with the demon race, and he already had this connection. We would have gotten up much earlier, so why are we talking about this!"

Qin Feng hurriedly said, "General Meng Tian, ​​you are mistaken. We are not trading with the demon race; we are collecting Master's spoils of war!"

"Yes, yes!" Meng Tian quickly corrected himself, "It was I who was being presumptuous. We were receiving spoils of war from the Master!"

Qin Feng said calmly, "Of the seven ships' worth of goods, six were taken back to Xianyang, which is my, Qi Tian's, explanation to the King! The remaining ship will be left behind; I have a use for it."

Meng Tian laughed heartily and asked, "Is Mr. Qi planning to attack the six states?"

Wang Bo said smugly, "Master Qi's wisdom is beyond the imagination of the six states. I wonder how much profit we can make from this ship!"

Qin Feng chuckled and said, "Thanks to the great help of Uncle Wang and General Meng Tian, ​​this trade has gone so smoothly. We'll have many more opportunities to make money in the future, and everyone's good days are yet to come!"

Everyone's going to have a great time. Without a doubt, Qin Feng is handing us names, and the three of us will make a lot of money too! As long as we work together and do things for Great Qin, we won't be short of benefits for ourselves!

With just one sentence, Meng Tian and Wang Bo instantly became one of their own!

Uncle Wang nodded and said, "Mr. Qi is a promising young man, and General Meng Tian is a brave and skilled warrior. I've simply caught a ride on their coattails!"

Qin Feng said, "Uncle Wang, you're too kind! You're the one leading the way! We just hitched a ride with you!"

"That's right!" Meng Tian readily opened a bottle of wine. "Come on! Let's toast to our future!"

Uncle Wang also spontaneously said, "Cheers!"

The three of them drank together, enjoying themselves immensely.

This scene, witnessed by Hu Hai, filled his small eyes with immense envy. "Mr. Qi is truly remarkable," he thought. "That horned monster who just disembarked from the spaceship was chatting animatedly with him, and now he's drinking and laughing with the usually stern Wang Bo and General Meng Tian. We should all learn from Mr. Qi! He's welcomed wherever he goes! So adept at social maneuvering!"

Of course, the envoys from the six kingdoms are an exception!

They are adversaries, and adversaries should be treated strictly and targeted relentlessly! Make their every need, from food and clothing to shelter and transportation, extremely difficult!
