Chapter 171 Chance Playful Life People Ru Yan picked up their own share in front of them...
Xi Mingren did as he was told and took the golden orange in front of him and entered the retreat cave. After entering, he blocked the cave entrance with a large stone.
Inside the cave, the people took a look at the golden tangerines and started to eat them according to the Taoist's instructions.
"The golden tangerines need to be peeled before eating. The flesh is slightly sour. Spit out the seeds and eat two golden tangerines in a row. The last golden tangerine should be eaten after half an hour." The Taoist priest said this with many warnings and instructions.
People who like to play are naturally obedient.
Kumquats look golden, but they are actually very easy to peel.
After swallowing the flesh of two golden tangerines in a row, Ximingren slowly closed his eyes and began to absorb the flesh of the golden tangerines in his stomach.
Outside the cave.
Ye Lu rubbed his head, turned to look at the ghost scholar beside him, and asked: "What about you? You two can eat together and go into seclusion, and then I'll watch over you, how about that?" Ye Lu now knew that the golden orange ghost scholar and the playful man would definitely not let him be the first to eat, and now, it would be difficult for him to be the second to eat.
Ye Lu enjoyed the unobtrusive protection of his two brothers and spoke with a smile.
Ghost Scholar... Ghost Scholar really thinks so. They are all eating golden tangerines, so there is no difference whether they are eaten early or late. It is better to eat them early.
The ghost scholar looked at Ye Lu, and without saying a word, Ye Lu already understood.
The ghost scholar took the golden orange in front of him and walked towards the retreat cave next to him. He blocked the entrance of the cave with stones just like the playboy.
Ye Lu stood in front of the two cave entrances, guarding them for three days. After three days, the cave behind him that belonged to the Ximing man was slowly pushed open from the inside.
Ye Lu turned his head and looked at the Ximing man, only to see a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ye Lu felt his heart beating just by looking at this smile. He knew what was going on.
"How?" But he still asked.
"Awakened." Ximingren nodded, and golden dots appeared around him, which was the golden strange power.
Ye Lu looked him up and down for a moment and found that Xi Mingren's gold talent was not low. According to the awakening talent level of this world, it was almost close to the advanced level. What is this called? A natural fighting saint body? Ye Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"We have to buy more gold-type strange food in the future." Ye Lu said after thinking for a moment. If the three brothers all awakened their gold-type talents, they would definitely have to buy this type of strange food, just like the previous wood-type strange food.
The playful man nodded, then he stretched out his hand, and invisible sword energy appeared in his hand, looming, slender, and very sharp. Anyone who saw this sword energy would definitely not deny its lethality. He said, "This... is very interesting."
Ye Lu was also the first to pay attention to the sword energy in the hands of the playful man. The moment the sword energy came out, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Interesting."
"Tell me what you found."
"This is a bit like a kind of Tao fruit." Ximingren nodded and told all his feelings about eating it. He slowly said: "It's a bit like not a Tao fruit, more like a wisp of Tao energy, but no matter what, it is the existence of Tao." It is just that the strange plants in this world are too magical, and the effects are all kinds of different.
If it were any other world, one would have to practice on their own to achieve this kind of Tao fruit, but in this world, one only needs to absorb a portion of the strange power of the golden orange to achieve it.
Of course, the power of the two kinds of Tao fruits cannot be the same. The latter is almost half less than the former.
It is precisely because of this that Ximingren is a little unsure whether this is the fruit of the Tao. It doesn't look like it at all.
Ye Lu paused, somewhat surprised. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That is to say, even those without talent can use it?"
The playful man nodded and said, "As long as you can absorb the strange power of the golden orange, and have a little bit of luck."
"...hiss!" Ye Lu was prepared, but was also surprised by the effect of what Xi Ming Ren said. He took a breath and said, "It really works? It's beyond my expectation."
The two brothers were ready to continue talking.
Not long after, a sound was heard from the entrance of the ghost scholar's cave. A large stone was moved from the inside to the outside, revealing a human figure inside the cave.
As the ghost scholar came out, he happened to see the invisible sword energy in the hand of the playful man, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"How is it?" Ye Lu asked.
"I have awakened my gold talent." The ghost scholar said concisely: "But I haven't awakened the sword energy like Ah Xi." The ghost scholar nodded first, then shook his head. Even though he had only been out for a short time, the ghost scholar was sure what had happened, and then began to talk about his situation.
Ye Lu was stunned, but not surprised. To be honest, he already had this guess, but he couldn't help but frown.
The playful man also frowned slightly.
The ghost scholar, as the person involved, was in a good mood and said, "I am not good at fighting. It is already good enough that I can awaken the gold talent. Sword energy should require a certain amount of talent or luck."
It’s a pity that he has neither of these two.
"I originally thought that I couldn't even awaken my gold-type talent." The ghost scholar was even in the mood to comfort Ye Lu and Xi Mingren. He really thought so. The ghost scholar himself knew his own talent. He had already become a god, so how could he have any talent for cultivation? The current situation was beyond his expectations.
The other two sounded as if they were pacified.
The ghost scholar pretended not to see the frowns on the other two's faces, and urged Ye Lu to go in and practice quickly: "Brother Lu, as a lord, it's best for you to awaken your talent before the caravan arrives. You can't just rely on Ah Xi to demonstrate it in front of the caravan, right?"
After confirming that Huang Jinju was fine, the ghost scholar asked Ye Lu to practice quickly.
Ye Lu was about to say something, but after hearing the ghost scholar's words, he put it aside for the time being and had to enter the cave to practice. This was the ghost scholar. Even if he had to find an excuse, he could always find one that was very important.
The ghost scholar and the playful man were guarding the entrance of the cave.
Three days later, the entrance to the cave was opened again, and Ye Lu appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face. Without saying a word, an invisible sword energy appeared in his hand.
"Okay!" The ghost scholar smiled when he saw the sword energy in the Taoist's hand.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was the time agreed by the caravan.
The three brothers of Chongshan gathered again halfway up the mountain to discuss the affairs of He Village.
"Fourth uncle also swallowed the golden orange. The blood-grudge-level strange food is indeed unusual. Not only did it help Fourth Uncle He successfully break through to the Qingyou level, it also successfully awakened his gold talent. As for sword energy, it was also awakened." The ghost scholar said with a smile.
Fourth Uncle He's cultivation was originally at the limit of the Huangli level, but he had never had any supply of strange food. He Village was really poor, and there were many children with awakened talents. The strange beads required for high-level strange food were too much for He Village to bear. Instead of exchanging green millet for those high-level strange foods, it would be better to give them to the children.
This is also the idea of most adults in the village.
Fortunately, Ye Lu now provides subsidies to the village from time to time, and everyone is finally a lot better off.
Fourth Uncle He had been at the Huangli level for too long and his talent was a little weak, so he relied on the Blood Grudge level strange food to advance to the Qingyou level.
In general, Fourth Uncle He was the one who earned the most money at this golden tangerine banquet.
"Very good." When Ye Lu heard about his fourth uncle's situation, he couldn't help but reveal a slightly relieved expression. Since his fourth uncle had successfully broken through the Qingyou level, he could feel a little more at ease about Hecun.
At the foot of the mountain, bursts of melodious bell sounds were heard, slowly spreading to the middle of the mountain. Along with the bell sounds were the familiar voices of Zhuhui and the colorful leader.
"Lord Chongshan, Lord Chongshan, we have arrived at the appointed time." The two caravan leaders at the foot of the mountain kept calling.
Ye Lu stopped talking, turned his head, looked at the foot of the mountain where the sound came from, raised his eyebrows, and the ghost scholar next to him chuckled, propped up his chin, and said: "It seems that they are really here."
Ye Lu also chuckled. It was obvious that he was in a good mood. Even when he called out to the caravan at the foot of the mountain, his tone was slightly smiling: "Please lead the way up the mountain, I'll be up there."
At the foot of the mountain.
The caravan members of the Vermillion Caravan and the Colorful Caravan were at loggerheads with each other. They were enemies in the same industry, and even if they cooperated, the caravan members of the two caravans were not in harmony with each other. This was in the familiar territory of the lord, with no one else around, and the two caravans also threw away their hypocritical smiles and pulled each other's hair.
Zhu Hui and Ban Lan pretended not to notice the open and veiled struggles among their subordinates.
Although they are cooperating, it doesn't mean that they really get along well. At least these guys have done their jobs and remembered to ensure the face of their caravan, so there is nothing to ask for.
Upon hearing the sound coming from the mountain, Zhu Hui and Ban Lan raised their heads at the same time and went up the mountain together, followed by their younger generations.
The red and gray are red, white, and green and gray, and the colorful ones are flower lines.
"Long time no see, Lord Chongshan!" As soon as they reached the mountain, the two caravan leaders greeted Ye Lu who was walking over, and nodded to the playful ghost scholar behind Ye Lu.
Ye Lu also nodded? Yes.
The two parties quickly got straight to the point. There were still many things to do and no time to waste. Ye Lu nodded slightly. The ghost scholar next to him paused, stepped forward, took out three wooden boxes from his arms, and handed them to Zhu Bai, Lu Hui, and Hua Xian respectively.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. The three golden tangerines are now ripe. As agreed, I will now hand them over to you two." Ye Lu looked at the ghost scholar's actions, nodded, and spoke.
Zhu Hui and Ban Lan quickly confirmed the strange food. There was no other way. The golden orange this time was too important. As the leaders of the caravan, they needed to confirm it. Not to mention the confirmation of their juniors, they each picked up the wooden box and took a look, confirming that it was the scent of a blood-grudge-level strange food.
Then the two of them exchanged the wooden box in their hands, and both sides confirmed that it was done, and then they both felt relieved.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Chongshan." The leader of the colorful caravan finally smiled as he looked at the strange food in his hand. He and Zhu Hui had spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and had borrowed a lot of background information from the clan in the process. It could be said that both caravans had invested a lot. If this auction failed, their caravans would not go bankrupt but would be seriously injured and would take several years to recover.
Now that the golden orange has arrived, the heavy stone hanging in Banlan's heart has finally been put down.
"There are several other golden tangerines. Excuse me, can you tell me what their uses are?" Banlan did not distrust Lord Chongshan. After all, this time, their auction was based on the name of Hecun Chongshan. Hecun Chongshan also had a share of the auction. If the auction failed, Chongshan would also be hit.
The colorfulness is a result of curiosity and the instinct as a businessman, who hopes to know more about the products.
Ye Lu and Xi Mingren looked at each other. Xi Mingren understood what Ye Lu meant and nodded.
"Golden talent!" The playful man raised one hand, and there were dots of gold around his hand. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was golden power. Then, he retracted his hand, and the golden power still existed, but there was an invisible sword energy in his hand.
As businessmen, Zhu Hui and Ban Lan could not have made a mistake. That was the mysterious power of gold. However, when the invisible sword energy appeared, everyone around could feel the cold sword intent.
Whenever you see the invisible sword energy, you will feel an extremely sharp illusion, as if there is a sharp sword hanging above your head.
Zhu Hui and the colorful-headed leader subconsciously held their breath, and after a moment, they slowly relaxed.
"Taoist energy?" Zhu Hui went deeper into Taoism and immediately said with some confusion.
"No, it's just a little bit similar." Ban Lan overturned Zhu Hui's guess, then nodded and said, "But it's certain that we'll make a fortune this time. I can imagine the praise of the big families for this strange food, but what is the probability of awakening this sword energy?"
When she said the last sentence, Banlan subconsciously looked at Ye Lu.
Ye Lu touched his nose and slowly said, "Four portions of golden tangerines, all those who took them awakened their gold talents, and three of them awakened their invisible sword energy."
"The probability is very high. It is the best even among blood-grudge-level strange foods." Banlan commented. This is not Banlan's praise. The fact that so many people have awakened their gold talents is certainly due to the effect of the golden orange, but more importantly, everyone present has good talents.
"The awakening of sword energy is not bad." Zhu Hui also nodded, very satisfied. Although sword energy depends on talent, it also exceeded his expectations.
"In that case, we'll take our leave." Zhu Hui was the first to say goodbye to Ye Lu. They had more things to do next. For example, the auction in Yuyao City was not something they could hold just by talking about it.
After getting the golden oranges, their two caravans immediately headed for Yuyao City to prepare.
"Okay!" Ye Lu also understood the difficulties of the caravan and did not force them to stay.
"Lord Chongshan, please rest assured, we will definitely bring you good news." Zhu Hui and Banlan assured Zhu Hui.
Ye Lu saw the two groups of merchants off and finally watched them disappear into the horizon.
Nearly ten days passed.
Yuyao City.
The usually bustling Yuyao City has recently become even more lively. Two caravans from Shizhu Village have suddenly stationed in the suburbs where there was originally nothing.
But inside their Yuyao city, the caravan belonging to the Black Line ignored these two caravans.
What's more, the cunning people in the city who knew something about the merchants in Shizhu Village were very surprised.
Is this still the merchant from Shizhu Village that they are familiar with?
Didn't the merchants from Shizhu Village fight ruthlessly when they saw their own people fighting for territory? This very abnormal appearance also made the group of cunning men confused.
There were also many tricksters who were ready to ask about the price of the trickster food. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there were people behind these two caravans. Regardless of what it had to do with these tricksters, at least they had two more choices.
The forces in Yuyao City couldn't help but send people to inquire about the purpose of the caravan.
