Wu You was naturally unaware of what was happening more than a thousand kilometers away, as he had just barely managed to get through his parents' interrogation.
Picking up Bai Yanxi was understandable, as it could be attributed to treating Wu Jianguo's illness. However, he inexplicably possessed a huge sum of money, inexplicably acquired a super-powerful bodyguard, and inexplicably gained several subordinates such as Xiang Biao.
They are still working on buying land for the entire Shiniu Mountain.
Since my father was discharged from the hospital, the changes in our family have become impossible to hide.
These past two days, Wu You has been avoiding the topic because he can't figure out how to explain things to his parents, and Wu Jianguo and Zhang Guihua haven't pressured him.
Today, Wu You finally made up his mind to confront his parents.
Her words were basically the same as when she faced Bai Yanxi, only more gentle and revealing more details.
When Wu Jianguo and his wife, along with Bai Yanxi, saw the back of the Thunderous Azure Dragon faintly visible on the distant river surface, they were so shocked that their minds went blank.
Zhang Guihua worshipped gods her whole life, both Taoist and Buddhist, and she would worship any temple that was built for her. But when she finally saw Ao Guang, she was almost scared out of her wits.
He recovered thanks to Bai Yanxi's emergency treatment, and then, in front of the other three, he vigorously bowed to Ao Guang, repeatedly murmuring "Dragon King, please protect me."
This put Wu You in a very awkward position, and he had to explain, after much persuasion, that Tong Aoguang was his "subordinate".
Even the most unbelievable things cannot be doubted in the face of irrefutable facts.
Well, now that their own son can subdue dragons (Ao Guang) and tigers (Garuru), what else can parents say? They should just let him make the decisions.
After Wu Jianguo's car accident, the two of them have come to terms with things. The relatives who used to fawn over them all changed their attitude when something happened. Nothing is more important than family and health. Since Wu Jianguo has become successful, the two of them should enjoy their retirement.
After dealing with his parents, Wu You began his construction plan for the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor.
The government has already issued all the necessary approvals and has even sent people to negotiate with various villages, persuading the villages located near the mountains to sell their mountain land.
These days, mountainous land is scarce and doesn't generate much economic benefit, while having too much can easily lead to losses. In addition, Wu You offered a very generous price, so almost every village agreed to sell, including Xugou Village.
In just two weeks, the new company, Wanshoushanzhuang Biotechnology Company, with Wu You as its legal representative, miraculously obtained the right to use the entire Shiniushan land for 50 years.
So the first thing to do is to enclose the mountain.
Previously, everyone could enter Shiniu Mountain, but now it is private land, and there will be many secrets inside in the future. Wu You plans to build a vine wall around it.
Of course, Wu You wouldn't completely seal off the outermost edge of the mountain. He would leave some of the outer slopes and peaks so that people in the surrounding area would have a place to go if they wanted to climb the mountain.
In this case, the actual enclosed area would be more than 1,600 hectares.
...
Along the perimeter wall marked by Wu You, starting from the end of the fence around Wu's family home, a terrifying vine was growing wildly.
Precisely following the route, the vines seemed to sprout from the original main trunk as large, green snakes, lunging towards the land a little further away.
Then, finger-thick vines quickly sprouted from that spot, growing thicker at a visible speed as if their growth had been put on fast-forward.
These newly sprouted vines will then reach out to the nearby land and begin another round of expansion and growth.
The roots of the vines also grow rapidly, quickly taking root and expanding underground as soon as they penetrate the soil, sometimes occupying a much larger area than the exposed part of the wall.
This over 3-meter-high, growing ecological wall all comes from the same plant. That's right, all the vines, including the ones that will soon encircle the entire Shiniu Mountain, are from the same plant.
Even with the Qinglong River blocking their way, the roots of the vines still managed to spread through the mud at the bottom of the river to the other side of the mountain.
It is a level two alchemical creation, intermediate bronze, the Vampire-Sucking Demon Vine.
Don't be fooled by its novel and beautiful appearance; it's a death illusion it weaves. Even a strong North American bison will become a dried-up corpse within thirty seconds under the parasitic entanglement of thousands of vines.
Fortunately, the vampire vine was an alchemical creature controlled by Wu You, so this method was naturally ineffective against ordinary people.
If an ordinary person ignores the surrounding signs and tries to climb over the vine wall, they will be pricked by some small vampire vine branches during the climb, and injected with a small amount of toxin.
This toxin will not kill a person, but it will cause excruciating pain at the wound site for 24 hours.
This will discourage people from climbing over the vine wall.
...
On the national highway in Qiantang District, trucks carrying saplings headed towards Shiniushan Mountain. The trucks carried various species of trees, all of which were mountain ecological plants.
The truck convoy's destination was about 2 kilometers from Xugou Village on the national highway, where it turned onto a newly paved asphalt road that led directly to a mountain valley in Shiniushan.
The mountain valley was relatively remote and rarely visited by people, so Wu You chose it as a base for storing timber seedlings.
The system's alchemy material warehouse contains many towering ancient trees, which are not only the basic materials for alchemy but also the ecological foundation of the transformed Stone Ox Mountain. In addition, a large number of other seedlings are also needed.
The material warehouse has a material release option. Wu You tried it and found a place on the mountain to imagine what it would look like after the materials were released. The material trees in the warehouse would take root directly on that land, just like they grew naturally.
This means that Wu You can now enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to collect trees and release them onto Stone Ox Mountain, truly transforming Stone Ox Mountain into an ecological jungle.
However, entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is risky, and it is unrealistic to completely transform the Stone Ox Mountain with the plants inside, plus the amount of work involved is too large.
These continuously arriving seedlings can both enrich the greenery and serve as a cover for others.
At 7 p.m., it was already getting dark, and the last truck of the day had finished unloading.
The open space of several thousand square meters in front of the mountain valley was piled with various plants.
Andy Lau and a few workers did a quick inventory check, and then drove home together.
On the bus, a newly hired worker seemed puzzled.
"Manager Zhang, are we just going to leave them piled up like this? Aren't you going to send someone to watch over them?"
Andy Lau took the cigarette out of his mouth and blew a smoke ring.
"It's alright, the boss has his own arrangements. We just need to make sure the daily delivery of trees is sufficient."
...
As darkness fell completely, a series of heavy thuds echoed from the mountains.
Ripples spread across the surface of a small puddle on one side.
Before long, five enormous tree-humanoid monsters, resembling ancient tree spirits, appeared in the valley filled with plant seedlings.
The shortest one is ten meters tall, covered with leaves and branches, and its bark is covered with ravines.
These are all bronze-level creatures created by alchemy from ancient trees. They are ancient tree spirits, which are only first-level alchemical creations, but because the ancient trees used as materials are of very high quality, they are all bronze-level after being refined.
Although they appear to move slowly, their enormous bodies allow them to cover a long distance with each step, so their speed is by no means slow.
The ancient tree spirits are the main labor force for planting seedlings; they will transport these piled-up seedlings deep into Shiniu Mountain at night.
By utilizing their innate ability to be plant-friendly, they can easily ensure that seedlings survive and recover their vitality in the shortest possible time.
As for sowing efficiency, the enormous size of the ancient tree spirit leaves a crater with every stomp of its foot on the mountain.
Plant a tree in the hole, then sweep away the soil around it to fill the hole. It only takes a dozen seconds to plant a seedling.
Tonight, their task is to sow more than 10,000 seedlings of various kinds.
