Return From The Immortal World
The Chapter 777
Leading Mo Awu and the others to the Mist Source Island military base at night, Tang Xiu then learned that the heavenly Doctor Gui Jianchou was currently overseeing the manufacture of the antidote for the Darkening virus so he chose not to bother him. When Yang Chuxiong entered, the two men entered the meeting room.
"The first leader has agreed to your plan, Mr. Tang. The country is now collecting a lot of jade and will send them to Source Mist Island soon." Yang Chuxiong looked extremely excited as the entirety of Source Mist Island would become impenetrable to the fortress once the geomancy array had been laid. He no longer needed to worry about the matter of outsiders sneaking inside.
"How long, exactly?" Ask Tang Xiu.
"According to my superiors, a stack of jade stored within the state stockpile can be sent immediately, but the amount is only about five tons," Yang Chuxiong replied. "If that's not enough, you'll have more jade to send, but the higher-ups don't know how much you need and they want me to ask you about it."
Five tons?
Tang Xiu's mouth twitched a few times and he felt happy inside. One had to know that only a ton of jade was needed to lay an array that encompassed the entirety of Source Mist Island. However, the country would send five tons of jade in the first batch of shipments. Didn't that give him a chance to darken the rest?
"I just hit gold!"
Although she was excited, Tang Xiu's expression did not show any ripples on the surface. Instead, he deliberately frowned, slowly shook his head, and said, "Five tons of jade will not be enough. You also know that Source Mist Island has a very large area and a large amount of jade will be needed. It takes about 15 tons! "
Yang Chuxiong thought for a moment before he nodded and said, "15 tons of jade is not a large amount. The amount of jade produced by the jade mines in our country is much more than that, but most of them are under the control of private owners, so the country needs time to buy them. Waita minute! All the jades will be collected and they should be delivered in ten and a half days. "
"Alright then," Tang Xiu nodded, satisfied.
Tang Xiu then had dinner with Yang Chuxiong. When the heavenly Physician Gui Jianchou learned that Tang Xiu had returned to the military base, he rushed to meet him and they drank together. Tang Xiu also gave him two boxes of God's Nectar when he was about to leave the military base, causing the old man to praise his concern.
Similarly, Yang Chuxiong got the same reward because he was also given two boxes of God's Nectar. Of course, the gift was not given without a price. Tang Xiu concocted some lies to get Yang Chuxiong to give the army entry permit to Tang Han so that he could freely enter and exit the island once the geomancy array had been arranged.
Late night .
Tang Xiu was sitting cross-legged in cultivation when a knock came at the door and Mo Awu's voice sounded from outside, "Boss, someone came from the mainland. This is your wife, Boss – Mu Wanying."
Uh, Boss' wife?
Tang Xiu forced a smile on the inside. He opened the door and asked, "Where is he now?"
"Jin Shi escorted him to the army headquarters. They were on their way here and would arrive in a few minutes," Mo Awu said.
Tang Xiu nodded and returned to the room to put on his coat. Just when he came to the entrance of the two-story building, he saw Mu Wanying with four middle-aged men and women coming out of the two military jeeps and following behind Jin Shi.
"Tang Xiu."
Seeing Tang Xiu made Mu Wanying very excited. Tang Xiu introduced her to many business partners recently, keeping her so busy that she was simply overwhelmed. He had only made contact with Tang Xiu through a few phone calls during this time.
"All right, get some rest tonight. It's been quite exhausting for you," Tang Xiu smiled and said, "I'll escort you to the Qingyuan Group tomorrow."
Gently nodding, Mu Wanying came to Tang Xiu's side and endured his urge to hug her, but still grabbed her arm and lovingly said, "I miss you. I really miss you very much."
Tang Xiu smiled in response and gently stroked her shoulders. He returned to the small building and ordered Mo Awu to contact the management staff to arrange accommodation for the four people brought by Mu Wanying. He then took her to the second floor.
"Is this your first time visiting this place?" tang Xiu asked as he entered the room and took off his coat.
"Yes, this is my first time," Mu Wanying nodded. "I heard about this place from my father a few times, but I never thought the scenery would be so beautiful. If I don't have much to do outside, I really want to stay here for some time."
"This place does have a very good environment; at least the air here is much better than Shanghai," Tang Xiu smilingly replied, "If you like this place, it is, why not buy real estate here? You can take a vacation and relax whenever you want later. "
"Umm .. but you must accompany me," Mu Wanying replied with a smile.
Tang Xiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'll do it if I have time later."
The two then talked about some of the latest events. Finally, Mu Wanying said with concern on his face, "You know, my father was quite angry after he heard the situation with the Qingyuan Group. Especially when he finds out that you're the one who's handling the matter."
"So, what do you think?" Tang Xiu asked with a smile.
Tang Xiu could not help but laugh after hearing that and said, "Your father would really choke on anger if he knew what was on your mind, you know. I'm absolutely sure she'll think — grown-up and married girls really can't be home anymore. "
Mu Wanying looked a bit shy but still replied, "Anyway, he can't take back a married daughter. I will not forget to be devoted to him, but I can no longer indulge his emotions anymore. Mother was already upset and had suffered many injustices because of her over the years. There's no way I'm gonna let him be wrong, either. "
"Having a boyfriend like you is really a great thing to have," Tang Xiu sighed with a smile.
Mu Wanying used to be very quiet; along with her indifference to fame and fortune, she looked like a gentle and virtuous woman, like any otherworldly heavenly woman. But at this moment, the inexplicable impulse within her prompted her to say, "Marry me early if you are truly happy with me, then."
"Ugh…"
Tang Xiu was speechless for a long time. He could not say anything and only laughed blankly for a moment, and then said, "We are still young; even we have not entered the age of official marriage. Besides, we're still students. Let's wait until we've graduated from university … "
"Let's get married after graduation, then," Mu Wanying said softly.
Tang Xiu could only sigh inwardly, yet he smiled and said, "No problem."
Tonight, Mu Wanying spent the night in Tang Xiu's room, while Tang Xiu himself spent the entire night cultivating crops. When the next day came, he was still excited as he escorted Mu Wanying to the Qingyuan Group and dealt with the company's shares. After everything was done, he sent her away and then back to the military base.
After waiting for two days, five tons of high-quality jade were delivered. Tang Xiu's eyes shone when he saw this jade. He had attended the jade gathering event in Star City and had gambled on the stone there, even spending quite a lot of money to buy jade. But he had just run his mouth and bet, yet the amount of jade he obtained was over a hundred times greater. Such a refreshing feeling made his mood soar.
"How's it going, Mr Tang?" yang Chuxiong, who was accompanying Tang Xiu to the side when they saw the jade inside the truck container.
"The quality is very good," Tang Xiu nodded with a satisfied expression. "They won't produce any problems using them for arrays. However, I want the Division Commander to send the next batch of jade early so that I can take out the Feng Shui Array as soon as possible and return quickly as well . "
"You can be sure about that!" Yang Chuxiong said, "This is an order from the First Leader, so no one dares to delay in the slightest. Also, I just received a message that all the next jade will be sent to Source Mist Island within five days. What about you? When will you start putting down the Feng Shui array? "
"I need a few days to inspect the terrain around Source Mist Island and then I can immediately start working," Tang Xiu replied. "I'll bury these jades in some specific position. If the next batch of jade can be delivered within five days, I can finish setting up the Feng Shui array for up to half a month."
"No problem, then!" yang Chuxiong replied with vigor.
Time passed quickly and a week passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Xiu had collected a total of 15 tons of good quality jade. After examining the location, he finally decided that it only took less than a ton of jade to put the Feng Shui array here. Thus, he could pocket the remaining 14 tons for himself.
Laying out a large Feng Shui array that covered the entirety of the Source Mist Island was definitely not a small project. But with the help of Mo Awu and the others, Tang Xiu was able to arrange it faster as they could lay and bury jade within the 16 important foundations rooted around Source Mist Island.
"Boss, the authority of Sumber Mist Island just called and they want to see you. Also, there are some reporters from the TV station here who want to interview you. How should I repay him?" mo Awu asked in a whisper as she came to Tang Xiu's side.
While staring at the white mist in the distance, Tang Xiu replied without hesitation, "Let everything down. Tell them that I am very busy handling important things and that I do not have time for interviews or to see them. If they want to know anything about this project, tell them to contact Yang Chuxiong. "
Mo Awu took the order, took the communicator, and left.
Time passed quickly again. When all the jade had been delivered on the 13th day, Tang Xiu arranged the entire geomancy array in an arrangement called the Feng Shui Chain Ring array. The array is capable of both defensive and offensive features.
The southern coastline of Sumber Mist Island.
Thousands of soldiers had blocked all areas within a dozen kilometers so that no one could leave or enter the Source Mist Island. The island is completely blockaded for now.
Yang Chuxiong stood beside Tang Xiu as he stared at the two pillars as high as 18 meters. His heart was completely filled with confusion and he wanted to ask Tang Xiu a few times why these two pillars were set up here. But when she saw Tang Xiu's serious expression, she understood that it was inappropriate to bother her.
"It's almost time."
Tang Xiu, who saw the sunset from the West where the billowing white mist surged in the distance, finally turned to Yang Chuxiong and spoke to the man.
"Nearly what time?" Yang Chuxiong asked, looking confused.
"It's almost time to witness the miracle," Tang Xiu smiled and said, "Division Commander Yang, order your soldiers to evacuate the area and retreat five kilometers."
