In short, it's unclear what Tang Cheng and his son discussed, but after conducting relevant tests on Tang Cheng's Qi Refining Method, Old Tang directly agreed to the matter.
Tang Cheng had considerable influence in the Earthly Capital, and he trusted Old Tang's assurances. Firstly, he knew his father well, and secondly, given his father's current status, he wouldn't joke about such things.
For those in high positions, the most important thing is that their word is their bond. Once they say something, it's like water spilled on the ground. Ordinary people can go back on their word, but their every action represents the Divine Land.
Old Tang expressed his full support for Li Xingkong's request. Many of the projects he was in charge of were related to cutting-edge technologies, and he knew researchers like this, especially genius-type researchers, very well.
Such people dedicate themselves entirely to their chosen field of study, and their aversion to other matters is less a matter of unwillingness and more a matter of disgust.
I hate that these boring things distract me from my time, and I hate the endless questions from some mindless people.
Old Tang already had plenty of experience dealing with this kind of researcher, even though Li Xingkong was the first cultivator he had ever met.
But the difference won't be significant, since he grew up in Divine Land, and his upbringing has inevitably instilled in him a part of traditional Divine Land thinking.
The day after Tang Cheng's physical examination was completed, Old Tang personally took Tang Cheng to see Li Xingkong.
Having not been to the countryside for a long time, Old Tang felt an intense longing for this land full of rural charm.
In his youth, he also grew up to make a living on this land, but it was due to his various circumstances that he ended up in this position.
Their trip was very low-key, with no excessive guards or reception, as if they were just driving out for a vacation.
This mode of transportation was also for the sake of secrecy, since Li Xingkong had already made his request clear enough: he didn't want to be disturbed by others.
After the car arrived at Li Xingkong's village, Tang Cheng contacted Li Xingkong. After a brief greeting on the phone, the group drove directly to Xiurong Village without stopping.
Li Xingkong was still engaged in his daily cultivation, Qi Refining, Bone Tempering, and growing vegetables, living a very comfortable life.
But this comfortable life wouldn't last long, because he found that he was growing more and more vegetables and spending more and more time on them. If this continued, let alone planting 50 acres, he wouldn't be able to take care of any more than that.
At this point, there was a shortage of manpower. Li Xingkong couldn't help but think of what he had talked about with Tang Cheng a few days ago, and wondered if they could simply cooperate with the government to promote the planting of this vegetable.
If someone helps him with the planting, he can be freed from the task of farming.
Just as Li Xingkong was thinking about this, he received a call from Tang Cheng, who said that he was bringing people to help him solve the problem. Li Xingkong's eyes lit up.
What a coincidence! I was just agonizing over this, and now it's perfect timing.
I tidied up my cave dwelling a bit, since they were guests, not my friends. If they were friends, I wouldn't have bothered tidying it up; I'd have to leave it a bit messy so they could find a grudge to clean it up for me.
After settling into our accommodation, we waited a while and then saw a car approaching from afar.
No need to think about it, this must be Tang Cheng and his group. Who usually comes to this place?
As the vehicle turned into the mountain road, Li Xingkong and waited at the door.
As for talking about having an otherworldly air, feigning mystery, or showing off to visitors, none of that is necessary.
A car arrived without anyone being seen, which means that Tang Cheng's deal is probably done. If it hadn't worked out, who knows how many people would have come by now.
Besides, I truly possess real strength, so why do I need these mysterious and aloof airs to elevate my image?
Only those whose strength and reputation don't match are always trying to use someone else's reputation as a pretext. A real tiger, when it goes out, wouldn't care about such things.
Before long, the car stopped at the edge of the village where Li Xingkong was standing. There was no road leading up from here.
Li Xingkong had already arrived at the roadside, and once the car had come to a stop, he was already standing next to it.
Soon, the car door creaked open, and Tang Cheng jumped out of the passenger seat.
" Brother Li."
He first greeted Li Xingkong, making a big "OK" sign with his hand, indicating that the matter was probably settled.
Although he didn't know what his father wanted to arrange things.
After Tang Cheng got out of the car, the back door opened, and Li Xingkong saw a middle-aged man get out.
The man looked very much like Tang Cheng; it was obvious at a glance that they were father and son.
Compared to Tang Cheng, he appeared more mature and gave people a genuine sense of closeness. Just from his appearance, you would never guess that he was an official in an important position.
If Li Xingkong met him in his own village, he might think he was just an old man from the neighborhood who always chatted at his door.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Li, I am Tang Cheng's father, Tang Tianci."
After getting off the bus, the middle-aged man glanced at Tang Cheng, and then his gaze quickly focused on Li Xingkong.
Clean, without a trace of the world-weariness that comes with entering society.
This was Li Xingkong's first impression of him, as if a gentle breeze was standing in front of him, and when he looked at him directly, he only felt the refreshing sensation of the breeze brushing against his body, without any other aura.
He is a pure person.
The moment Tang Tianci saw Li Xingkong, he had already formed a first impression of Li Xingkong in his mind.
At the same time, he felt a sense of relief.
After all, Tang Cheng was still inexperienced and hadn't seen much of the world, so it was difficult for him to discern a person's true character.
Before setting off, he had made many contingency plans regarding what kind of person Li Xingkong was, including what to do if Li Xingkong had antisocial personality disorder.
However, after seeing Li Xingkong, he finally felt relieved.
This kind of pure personality is the easiest to handle. As long as you don't step into their sensitive areas, you'll have a very pleasant time with them.
Such people often possess a pure and innocent heart, and are extremely determined to strive towards their chosen goals, making them more likely to achieve great success than ordinary people.
He now believed Li Xingkong was a cultivator to be more.
"Hello, Uncle, my Li Xingkong."
The two shook hands briefly, and then Li Xingkong led them to his residence.
Besides Old Tang and his son, there were two guards in the car. They didn't follow, but instead kept watch at a distance near the car. After observing the surrounding environment for a while, they each found a suitable reconnaissance post and began to guard the surroundings.
