The Great Seminary

Chapter 97 We Are All Good Friends

Unlike Dongshengzhou, people in Xihezhou who possess extraordinary powers are called professionals.

There are twenty levels in total.

Levels one to five are equivalent to the eighth and ninth grade monks in the East, that is, the Ding category.

Known as bronze professionals.

Levels five to fifteen are equivalent to the seventh to fourth rank cultivators in Dongshengzhou, that is, Class C.

Known as the Silver Professional.

Levels sixteen to nineteen are equivalent to second or third rank cultivators in the East, that is, Class B.

Known as the golden professional.

Level 20 is called Legend in the West, which is equivalent to the first-grade "Great Fortune" in the East.

However, the classification of extraordinary people in Nanchizhou is much simpler.

The four levels from bottom to top are: living beings, voodoo masters, spiritual returners, and ethereal beings.

The strength is analogous to the Eastern monks of types D, C, B, and A, with no more detailed division.

And today, the ones who are riding on the moon ship and carrying out an ocean raid on the pioneer city of civilization are the returned souls of the Aksumite Empire in South Red Continent.

As for the attacked 'Civilized Vanguard City', there are also gold professionals among the guards who receive huge annual pensions.

But because of their inaction, the whole city has become a mess.

The powerful nobles and giant ocean-going trading companies behind the "Vanguard City of Civilization" can still rely on multinational insurance companies to recover some of their losses.

But the owners of small and medium-sized shops in the city who do the seam-removing business;

Small and medium-sized slave fleets that only temporarily docked at the city dock and planned to set sail again after repairs might go bankrupt.

After the storm, the 'Civilized Pioneer City' returned to sunny weather.

But I will definitely not sleep tonight.

The dust settles,

Zhang Gui said goodbye to Salisa, Lilia and the others directly at the dock area.

As a tourist, he just let things pass.

Polliza, Lilia and others don't know how long they will have to work until their lives get back on track.

Before parting, Perry and Zhang Guizhong made an appointment to meet.

And this time the location was set at the office of the trading company run by Pollis.

This proves that their friendship has made great progress after going through hardships together.

Afterwards, Zhang Gui strolled out of the dock area and walked into a ruined area.

Using the principle power of capital elements to connect with the regional divine power, it teleported to the "death pit" outside the pioneer city of civilization.

It was a deep ravine between the city and the primeval jungle.

The depth is over ten feet.

It was densely packed with young fly and bird maggots.

This is the final destination of the bodies of all the Nanchi slaves in the Civilized Pioneer City.

But today is different from the past.

The number of corpses thrown into the deep pit was not thousands but tens of thousands.

The process continues all night long.

After the main god cluster 'Taisui Rushen' in Zhang Gui's head was activated, the fungal mat that emerged from the fontanelle seemed to be the natural enemy of filthy living things.

There is no need for actual contact. As long as you appear from afar, the flies, birds and maggots will rush to hide in the rotten mud.

All night long.

He used the flying kicking technique to move back and forth lightly on the smelly and soft soil.

Huge hands emerged from the fungal mat spreading around the body, grabbing the corpses falling from above or hitting the ground, and dissolving and assimilating them.

At dawn, the bodies in the Civilized Pioneer City were finally cleared.

Zhang Gui then returned with disgust to the bedroom of Guiyang Palace in Shishijing, Zhenlong Kingdom.

Wash it clean.

He mixed herbs, lit ignition oil, burned mines, and began to refine his own divine bush.

Two days later.

It was the day when the eunuch Wang Shitong, the chief of the Longmen Port Authority, was inviting guests. Early in the morning.

Zhang Gui did not call for warships, but took a passenger ship that had just opened for navigation and rushed to Longmen Port.

The already bustling port is expanding again.

It's noon.

After Zhang Gui got ashore, he looked up at the dazzling sun, mixed into the crowd, and strolled to the gate of Longmen Port Bureau.

Chu Tuantuan was waiting with his head sticking out.

Seeing Zhang Gui, he immediately went to greet him. The two exchanged a few pleasantries and walked towards the inner courtyard of Tongbu Bureau.

This courtyard is where the essence of maritime trade between the Ming and Song dynasties was gathered, so naturally it was full of splendor and wealth.

After passing through a garden planted with magical herbs, we entered a seven-treasure exquisite building built entirely of ebony wood.

The natural fragrance of wood flowers rushed into Zhang Gui's nose, and even made the main god cluster "Hundred Herbs" in his body, which originated from the ancient emperor Shennong, move slightly.
He had always maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

But when it comes to discovering the sacred cluster, everything else is trivial.

Zhang Gui couldn't help but whispered to Chu Tuantuan:
"Brother Tuantuan, outside this wooden building, I can't smell the slightest fragrance.

But when I got to the building, I felt like I was in a fairy palace. What was going on?

Just as he finished speaking, a slightly hoarse voice came from upstairs.
"This building is to ask Gongshujia's 'Master Kite Craftsman' to dismember the entire 'Chizha Xuantan' tree from the roots.

Then no nails were used, and it was made entirely with mortise and tenon joints.

The wood grain in key areas is intact, and the restrained nature of the black sandalwood fragrance remains unchanged.

So you can't smell anything outside the building, but inside the building is filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, making you feel refreshed."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gui immediately raised his head and asked politely:
"Is that Wang Shitong upstairs? Is that Wang Dashou in person?"

"It's the Miscellaneous Family."

In the pavilion on the roof of Qibao Linglong Building, a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and elegant temperament answered loudly.

Next to him was a man who was wearing a light brown double-breasted gown, a style rarely seen in the Ming and Song dynasties. He had a small moustache and a sullen face. He was between middle-aged and young.

Sit at the round table and drink tea quietly.

Zhang Gui quickened his pace and went straight to the top floor.

Politely bowed to the elegant middle-aged man,
"My name is Yang Shizhong. Thank you for clarifying my doubts."

Hearing that he claimed to be named Yang Shizhong, a name bestowed personally by the Emperor of Ming Song, Wang Shitong's face turned serious and he returned the greeting to Zhang Gui:

"You're too polite, Yang Longhu.

You and I are both ministers in the same palace, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are as close as brothers. There is no need to be so."

As the saying goes, the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water, while the friendship between villains is as sweet as honey.

If it was the first time that ordinary civil officials and military generals met, even if they were trying to establish a friendly relationship, they would never say such sweet words.

But if they were replaced by a eunuch or a hereditary barbarian general, the relationship would seem extremely harmonious and complement each other.

Even if one of them has the temperament and appearance of someone who looks like a juren at least, and the other one is honest and kind, like a simple young man.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Wang Shitong pointed at the man in the light brown double-breasted long gown beside him and said, "This is Rong Anchuan, the new director of our Pingyang County from the Shuanghu Rong family, Brother Rong.

He used to be one of the ten big shippers of the Rong family's sea voyages, specializing in the Han-Jin route.

When I was the chief eunuch in the Xiangnan Tongbu Bureau, I had a lot of interactions with him.

They are also considered old friends.

I heard that you, Yang Longhu, have some disputes with the Shuanghu Rong family, so I thought of hosting you today.

Invite new and old friends to resolve misunderstandings.

After all, family is family, and individuals are individuals."

"My name is Rong Anchuan, nice to meet you, Li Yanglonghu." The man in the light brown double-breasted gown bowed first without any expression.

Zhang Gui laughed heartily, "Master Wang truly has profound insights.

No matter whether they are from an aristocratic family or a royal merchant family, it is better to lean on a big tree for shade.

But it is impossible for all the cool shade to be mine.

If someone kicks away the others who are also enjoying the shade under the tree, wouldn’t that be a great thing for him?”

Then he bowed to Rong Anchuan in return, "I am Yang Shizhong, Rong Dagui, please come."
