Chapter 111 The Promise of Weird Food Zhu Hui couldn't help but be excited about another...
What Zhu Hui couldn't help but get excited about? Another point.
This is a cypress tree.
People often mention pine and cypress together, and there is a reason for that. Both of them are tall trees. As a member of the same tree type, the pine tree will certainly be able to absorb the mysterious power contained in the remains of the red cypress more easily than other plants.
Not to mention that carrying a red cypress can shorten the time it takes to bloom and bear fruit.
Originally, Zhu Hui had given up on the time it would take for the Green Pine Strange Plant to mature. Lord Chongshan had made it very clear that the Green Pine Strange Plant was in a special situation. The seeds had just been planted and the seedlings had just emerged. It would take at least twenty years for the plant to bloom and bear fruit. Twenty years, even though they were all skilled warriors, was a very long time for a young caravan leader like Zhu Hui.
What Zhu Hui couldn't help but want to find was the remains of the strange creature that could shorten time.
Fortunately, he found it.
He was determined to get this piece of red cypress remains.
"..." Zhu Hui understood that since the owner of Putao Mountain said there were so many things, he must be willing to sell them to him. The problem now was whether he could afford the price.
Zhu Hui pondered for a moment, and finally asked first: "I wonder what the owner of Putao Mountain wants to exchange? Our Zhu Hui caravan will also try its best to get the remains of this red cypress."
Zhu Hui appropriately released the meaning of heartbeat.
He really wanted these remains.
Zhu Hui felt that if he missed the red cypress remains this time, he might not be able to find suitable plant resources for the huge green pine plant for a long time in the future.
The smile of the Lord of Putao Mountain became more and more satisfied. What he wanted was Zhu Hui's attitude.
Alas, the only pity is Zhu Hui, the leader of the caravan. He is usually very cunning and will not release the eagle until he sees the rabbit. I don't know how many people have returned empty-handed. Of course, he is also tempted by the resources in Zhu Hui's hands.
But? The master of Putao Mountain prefers to use a method that makes the other party's heart move.
"I wonder if Chief Zhu Hui still has any share of laurel seeds?" The Lord of Putao Mountain pursed his lips, but finally asked.
"..." As expected! As soon as Zhu Hui saw the expression on Putao Mountain Master's face, he felt something was wrong. When he heard what the other party said, his premonition was officially confirmed.
Zhu Huitou couldn't help feeling the pain again.
During this period, almost every customer he met asked about the laurel seeds in his hand. However, those who could find out about the laurel seeds more or less had backgrounds, so Zhu Hui sometimes had to speak carefully.
The main thing is that Zhu Hui also coveted the share of strange food in their hands.
These guests flocked to him and wanted his share of the delicious food, which could be said to be a sweet burden for Zhu Hui.
What a pity, still? No.
Zhu Hui shook his head and said helplessly: "Lord Putao Mountain, I really want to make a deal. The remains of the red cypress are indeed very good, but the laurel seeds in my hand have already been reserved." I'm afraid that the strange beads have already been delivered to Lord Chongshan. If he doesn't give the laurel seeds to the guests at this time, he will probably be torn alive.
The master of Putao Mountain was not surprised by Zhu Hui's answer. As early as when he knew about the laurel seeds, he heard that various major forces were scrambling for a share of the laurel seeds, and Zhu Hui had nothing left.
But the owner of Putao Mountain knows these merchants from Shizhu Village very well, and they will definitely leave a way out for themselves.
"Captain Zhu Hui, can't you think of a solution?" The Lord of Putao Mountain paused for a moment and asked Zhu Hui in return.
Well, I've met my match this time.
Zhu Hui paused, understanding? The master of Putao Mountain wanted him to take out a bargaining chip to impress him. Zhu Hui looked up at the remains of red cypress in the cave, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and after a moment, the solemnity turned into determination.
"Master Putao Mountain, if you are talking about strange food that can improve talents, I also have it in my hands? Almost." Zhu Hui said slowly, and after he finished speaking, his heart sank.
The eyes of the owner of Putao Mountain lit up, and he knew that these merchants must have good stuff in their hands.
After a moment, the master of Putao Mountain quickly regained his composure. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Black locust seeds or something like that?" If it was strange food like black locust seeds, it would indeed be rare, but this was not enough to make him excited, at least it would not be of much use to him.
"No, this is a brand new strange plant, and it also comes from Hecun Chongshan. To be precise, it is also a companion strange plant." Zhu Hui paused and did not say the specific name of the strange plant, but only emphasized the aspects that the master of Putao Mountain would pay attention to.
As expected, after hearing Zhu Hui's words, the master of Putao Mountain couldn't help but raise his voice and said in surprise: "It's also a companion weird plant?! And there's a second companion weird plant?!"
I have to say, this news was beyond the expectations of the Lord of Putao Mountain. His first reaction was: How come I had never heard of it before? Zhu Hui was really good at keeping secrets.
Then, the master of Putao Mountain reacted.
No, Zhu Hui did say that the laurel seed plant was a companion plant, or a companion plant of a super auxiliary talent monster.
Who says that a super talent can't have two companion plants? This is not only possible, but the possibility is very high!
"That's right. If there is already one, why can't there be a second one? If the first laurel tree was born when that strange warrior was at the Baiyou level or the Huangli level, then he is almost at the Qingyou level now. Indeed, it's time for a second strange plant to appear." The master of Putao Mountain reacted quickly, muttered to himself, and convinced himself.
The master of Putao Mountain remembered the function of laurel seeds and looked at Zhu Hui, waiting for his next words.
Zhu Hui didn't expect that the Master of Putao Mountain would figure out the whole thing so quickly. He felt a little impressed by his flexible mind, but he still had to explain the reasons clearly.
"Green pine, according to that companion weirdo, it takes twenty years for the plant to bloom and bear fruit each time, and its function is to build the foundation." Zhu Hui said concisely. Perhaps he was deeply impressed by the sharpness of the master of Putao Mountain. This time, Zhu Hui not only did not mention the name of the green pine plant, he also refused to tell the flowering and fruiting cycle, nor the proportion, and only talked about the function.
The function introduction is also very simple.
Laying the foundation.
These are some unfamiliar words to the Lord of Putao Mountain, but any weirdo with a little inherited memory knows what they mean.
"Rebuild the foundation!" said the Lord of Putao Mountain.
"Yes." Zhu Hui nodded.
Zhu Hui looked very serious this time and said to the master of Putao Mountain: "I can't explain the specific effect. I can only tell you that this strange food is pine, wood, and the effect of the strange food is the foundation of all the effects of the talent. It does not have the moon-sensing ability of the laurel tree."
After these words were spoken, at first glance, I took a step back.
In fact, this sentence is what really hits the heart of the Master of Putao Mountain.
Many people don't know that Putao Mountain is a force passed down through blood. Ever since his son was killed by the Stone Worm God in an accident, his daughter-in-law passed away leaving behind only a little grandson. Because the female cunning warrior was physically and mentally exhausted and seriously injured at the time, the future ruler of Putao Mountain is born with deficiencies, and his talent as a cunning warrior can only be said to be barely adequate.
The master of Putao Mountain has been collecting strange foods related to talents for so many years, all for this little grandson.
Zhu Hui also learned this by chance from his elders, and Zhu Bai also knew it.
Zhu Hui was 70% sure that the master of Putao Mountain was here for the future young master, so he decisively threw out the Qingsong Trickster bait.
The Lord of Putao Mountain did not say anything. To be honest, he also knew that this unknown strange food was the most useful to him.
Bay seeds have to take a step back.
"I believe you are also aware of the rarity of this kind of strange food. I assure you, if you want to find similar strange food, you must go to those hidden top forces and ask them for the strange food in their bottom boxes." Zhu Hui's smile deepened when he saw the appearance of the master of Putao Mountain. If he knew the thing, that would be fine.
"I can take the initiative to give you one." Zhu Hui said slowly.
The owner of Putao Mountain was silent for a moment, and said, "No, at least two."
"Two?" Zhu Hui rejected subconsciously: "No, it's too much. We calculated that one portion of Guili is enough for a Guishi to build a foundation."
"I can't do anything about it, but I just can't feel at ease." The master of Putao Mountain insisted.
Zhu Hui frowned when he heard this. He looked at the Master of Pu Tao Mountain seriously and explained, "Master Pu Tao Mountain, I only have three portions of this strange food. I can't give you two portions, not even the remains of this red cypress."
"I can give you the remains of a whole red cypress without any strange beads. I only need two portions of the strange food you mentioned." The owner of Putao Mountain was also very determined. He even gave good conditions at one time that surprised Zhu Hui.
The remains of red cypress, all for him? Upon hearing this, Zhu Hui's eyes widened, not daring to believe what he heard. These were the remains of a blood-grudge-level monster. Even if the monster power was only half, its effect was really rare. If it was sold to those big forces, it would not be impossible to exchange for a few signature monster foods.
The price offered by the owner of Putao Mountain exceeded Zhu Hui's psychological price.
A whole or half of it is enough for the strange green pine plant to grow to adulthood.
Zhu Hui was in a dilemma. On one hand, he had the two pieces of green pine food in his mind, and on the other hand, he had a cave full of red cypress remains. The balance in his heart kept going up and down, and soon, he made a decision.
With the red cypress, the green pine can mature again. Only a fool would continue to hesitate.
"Okay, deal!" Zhu Hui responded without hesitation, with a serious expression.
When the owner of Putao Mountain heard Zhu Hui's words, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."
"This? Weird food..." asked the master of Putao Mountain.
Zhu Hui replied immediately: "It will be delivered to you in due time, but the exact time of maturity of the strange plant is still uncertain. It is estimated to be between three to four years."
Almost, the Lord of Putao Mountain nodded. This time was also within his estimation. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "If possible, when I am no longer here, please hand it over to my grandson!" The Lord of Putao Mountain seemed to let out a long sigh as he spoke.
Zhu Hui was stunned. He didn't expect the Lord of Putao Mountain to say this. From his perception, although the Lord of Putao Mountain was old, he had strong spiritual power and could live for many years. There was no need for him to say such discouraging words.
But who made the other party a guest? Zhu Hui always respects guests.
"Yes, please rest assured that we, the merchants in Shizhu Village, will deliver it to the young mountain owner on time." Zhu Hui said solemnly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Hui reached a deal with Putaoshan.
Zhu Hui used the connections of the Blood Poison lineage again, no, mainly asked Xue Qi to send the remains of the red cypress once again. Xue Qi worked hard without complaint, because he was in the wrong not long ago. The debt collector in his family said that it was all his fault, which led to him being scolded by the Qingshan village chief for no reason and not earning a penny.
He also said that if he didn't work, he would go to his grandmother for justice.
Xue Qi was in the wrong, so he could only work uncomfortably and escort the remains of the red cypress to the Forbidden Stone Ridges over a long distance.
When Ye Lu saw Xue Qi coming, this big guy had a sullen face. After delivering the things, he flew away without even saying hello.
Ye Lu knew at a glance that this was because of the red ash. However, before he could catch up to ask, he saw the remains of red cypress fallen on the ground.
“……”Forget it, it’s their family affair, what does it have to do with them!
Ye Lu readily picked up the red cypress with extremely quick movements, ignoring the departing figure of the Blood Seven Evil Warriors.
"What is this... a scarecrow?" The ghost scholar stroked the remains of the red cypress and said thoughtfully.
Ye Lu looked at the remains of the red cypress with a more gentle gaze and said, "Almost the same, this one is better!"
"Zhu Hui does a good job. No wonder you, Master Dao, have been investing in them. In this way, the growth rate of Qingsong should be much faster." After touching them, the ghost scholar withdrew his hand with great satisfaction and said.
"You can't feed it directly. Let's see Qingsong's reaction first."
Ye Lu led the playful people and the ghost scholar to the top of the mountain where Qingsong was.
After not seeing it for a while, the green pine has changed dramatically. It is almost like a giant standing on the top of the mountain. It is surrounded by lush greenery, and the flourishing leaves look like a canopy. It is almost a small world full of vitality.
Just a breath can bring out the vigorous wood vitality.
"A Lu!" Before the three of them got close, a slow-moving spiritual consciousness floated out from the roots of the tall green pine tree and spoke slowly.
"Qingsong, how do you feel? Is the soil satisfied?" Qingsong is much more stable than the laurel tree. He will only call people on his own initiative in very rare cases. Most of the time he just lets things take their course. He doesn't mind if there is a little less soil occasionally. Instead, his companion Ye Lu is very busy.
"It's okay." Qingsong said slowly.
"Mud is fine." Qingsong said again.
"Do you know when the green pine will grow up?" Ye Lu asked. The green pine was already more than half a head taller than the laurel tree, and it would probably continue to grow. Because the green pine was so tall, it could be seen as a tree on the mountain from a long distance.
Ye Lu now regrets that he planted the pine tree on the top of the mountain. Now it is inconvenient to hide.
"More than ten years?" Qingsong was a little uncertain.
Ye Lu nodded. This was indeed similar to what he had predicted. He turned his head and looked at the Ximing man behind him. The Ximing man had taken the remains of red cypress from Ye Lu's hand halfway through the journey. When he saw him looking over, the Ximing man handed the remains over to him.
"Qingsong, take a look, do you like this?" Considering that Qingsong was smarter than the laurel tree, Ye Lu did not try to trick him. Instead, he seriously asked Qingsong about his opinion on the red cypress.
"Is this... a cypress tree?" The consciousness of Qingsong in the air finally moved. He slowly extended his spiritual thoughts, checked the remains in Ye Lu's hand, and said.
"Or is it? A very high-level spiritual plant? But? Why does its aura seem so strange?" Qingsong's tone became even more puzzled.
"It doesn't look like a spiritual plant, but rather like a ghost." Qingsong asked his companion: "Are there so many ghosts in the world now?"
"Well, it's not really a spiritual plant." Ye Lu paused, not knowing how to explain.
