This strange name left all the villagers confused and puzzled.

Ning Jie finally realized that these people didn't understand the terms used by the outside world, so he looked around and said:

"It's probably these bluestones you use to pave the road."

When everyone heard this, they stared in disbelief.

Tunan also touched the back of his head and asked tentatively:

"Ning Shengzi, what do you want this completely worthless stone for?"

Ning Jie couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

This basalt bluestone is a top-grade material for refining weapons in the outside world. It is a priceless item, but it has been buried in the ancient country of Rakshasa.

Ning Jie knew it was difficult to explain to them, so he said directly:

"This kind of thing is useful to me, just give me a few pieces."

Tunan still didn't understand why Ning Jie didn't want the extremely precious animal skins and cloth, but instead exchanged salt for this useless waste stone.

But since Ning Jie wants it, he will definitely make Ning Jie satisfied.

Thinking of this, he put down his chopsticks and waved his hand to the surrounding villagers:

"All men, follow me!"

In an instant, a group of burly men marched away in a mighty procession.

Seeing this, Ning Jie smiled and continued to taste the salted meat.

…

Not long after.

Ning Jie suddenly felt the ground shaking. Looking up, he saw a cloud of dust rising from the end of the path.

"What's going on? A beast invasion?"

The smoke and dust were getting closer and closer, and when it gradually dissipated, everyone could see clearly that it was the group of strong men that Tunan brought with him.

At this moment, what each of them held in their hands, on their heads, in their arms, and on their backs were all the basalt green rocks.

By the time they were placed on the ground, the basalt and bluestone had piled up as high as a hill!

“Fuck…”

Ning Jie was also shocked by the number of basalt and green rocks, and couldn't help but spit out a foul word.

Panting, Tunan leaned against the big locust tree and asked Ning Jie:

"Ning Shengzi, do you think these are enough? If not, we can go get more. We don't have anything else here, but we have plenty of these stones!"

Ning Jie stood up, looked up at the hill of basalt and bluestone, and murmured:

"Enough, enough! With so much basalt and bluestone, are you going to tear down all the houses?"

Ning Jie just asked casually, but Tu Nan said seriously:

"How do you know that Wang Er, who lives in the east end of the village, demolished his house?"

Ning Jie: ...

There was actually someone who demolished his own house in order to give him the Xuanwu Qingyan. This is a true warrior and is truly worthy of admiration!

Xuanwu Qingyan is a treasure for refining weapons. Ning Jie originally wanted to exchange some for refining a body-protecting treasure for the girl Si Luo.

But he didn't expect Tunan to give him so much basalt and bluestone at once!

This made Ning Jie feel that he could even refine some artifacts for several of his junior sisters. Of course, he would refine something "fun" for Chu Xi!

Ning Jie was happy, and everyone else was naturally happy too. They sat down again and started eating and drinking.

After three rounds of drinking, Tu Nan, whose face was flushed from drinking, stood up, raised his glass and respectfully toasted Ning Jie:

"Not only did Saint Ning show mercy and release me today, he also gifted our village with so much salt. I, Tunan, have no way of repaying such a great kindness. From now on, I am willing to go through fire and water for Saint Ning, without hesitation!"

Ning Jie saw that the time was right, raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, then said with a smile:

"No need to worry about going through fire and water, but I do have something to ask you."

Tunan quickly stood up and said seriously:

"Sir Ning, please speak up. I will tell you everything I know!"

"Have you ever seen a young woman in a white dress who looks very..."

Ning Jie originally wanted to say that she was very beautiful, but considering that the aesthetics of the people in the ancient Luosha Kingdom were different from those in the outside world, he changed his words and said:

"Ugly, like me?"

Tunan heard this and rubbed the back of his head, thinking carefully.

After a long time, he shook his head and said slowly:

"I've never seen this before. I patrol our village every day, but I haven't seen a woman like this."

"strangeness……"

Ning Jie frowned slightly.

Tuanan's words were firm, so Mu Qingxue should not be near the village.

"Is that woman your friend?"

Tunan asked.

Ning Jie nodded without saying anything, and suddenly felt a little worried about Mu Qingxue.

Tunan thought for a moment, looked at Ning Jie and said:

"How about this, you stay in our village first, and I will immediately send people to the surrounding villages to inquire about the news."

"good."

Ning Jie did not refuse. At the moment, he could not use his spiritual power, nor could he find Mu Qingxue quickly, so it would be much more convenient to let Tunan come to look for her.

Soon, under Tunan's arrangement, more than a dozen strong men riding giant wolf mounts rushed out of the village to search for news about Mu Qingxue.
