Chapter 182 Jade Seal! Time passed slowly. At the foot of the mountain, it was said...
Time passes slowly?
A sound of bells came from the foot of Chongshan Mountain.
After so many years, Chongshan and the other two have become accustomed to the sound of caravan bells. They can even tell which caravan it is by the sound of the bells.
For example, this time it is the Vermillion Gray Caravan.
"Zhu Hui is here?" Ye Lu was the first to raise his eyebrows when he heard the bell, then looked up at the sky and said.
The ghost scholar blinked and said, "Calculating the time, it is indeed about time."
Although the Zhuhui Caravan does not get a share of the strange food from Chongshan every year, because they get the strange food from He Village every year, most of them will say hello when passing by Chongshan.
"Lord Chongshan, we are the Zhuhui Caravan." Sure enough, a voice familiar to Zhuhui came from the foot of the mountain.
"I'm here, please go up the mountain." Ye Lu didn't ask too many questions and spoke directly.
Strictly speaking, the Zhuhui caravan arrived a little earlier than the agreed time. However, the Zhuhui caravan was very similar to their leader Zhuhui, and was a little unreliable. It was normal for them to be a little faster or a little slower. If the Banlan caravan had such a problem, Ye Lu and the others would be more curious.
Soon, Zhu Hui came up from the foot of the mountain, wiping his sweat. When he saw Ye Lu and the other two, he greeted them with a smile, "Lord Chongshan, I didn't expect that we were so lucky. We arrived early this time and can see you all."
"Has Chief Zhu Hui encountered any problems?" Ye Lu asked with a narrowed smile. After hearing Zhu Hui's words, he shrugged and said, "We, the people who grow strange plants, can't often go far away. Strange plants need to be carefully taken care of. Otherwise, decades of harvest will be wasted and we won't have anywhere to cry."
"That's true." Zhu Hui nodded. The forces that grow strange plants are indeed more restricted than those of them who are traveling merchants, but they also earn more than them. They, the traveling merchants, have to go everywhere to dig for a share of strange food. Even many merchants in Shizhu Village are working hard for their own cultivation resources.
"I was entrusted by someone, so I had to speed up this time. Fortunately, most of the villages I visited before were covered with herbs. If they were all trees, I would have suffered a lot." Zhu Hui said without hesitation that he was entrusted by someone. After that, he took out a white and green jade seal from his arms.
The Jade Seal is a very warm jade, and the transparent part even gives people the illusion of crystal clearness. The surface of the Jade Seal is a strange plant that looks like an orchid. The peculiar thing is that the orchid is not blooming with flowers, but with heavy fruits on the flower stems that are almost hanging down.
Just like a rice plant.
There was a little bit of strange aura coming from the jade seal, which was almost inaudible, but it was just a little special.
When Zhu Hui took out the jade seal, Ye Lu's eyes involuntarily fell on the orchid on the seal.
Zhu Hui noticed Ye Lu's gaze, chuckled and explained, "This is the Nine-Flesh Orchid, a strange plant used for sacrifices. Because this strange plant is one of the very few cultivated strange plants, and its function is very special, the Xunyuan Society uses this strange plant as the pattern on the letter."
"What is the Xunyuan Society?" Ye Lu just felt that this orchid was a little special. When he heard Zhu Hui's flower, his attention quickly shifted to the words spoken by Zhu Hui.
“Hmm….” This question made Zhu Hui hesitate. Zhu Hui naturally knew about the Xunyuan Society, which was a well-known organization among the merchants in their Shizhu Village. Whenever the Xunyuan Society was held, many merchants would use some means to obtain the Xunyuan Society’s seal.
"It can be considered as an exchange of strange plant forces." Zhu Hui pondered for a moment and told all his impressions of the Seeking Source Association. He said, "Most of them are about exchanging experiences in cultivating strange plants. There are also strange beasts. It's called the Ten Thousand Beasts Association. Both are managed by the academy, and many top forces are in it."
"Let me put it this way, the first person I saw when I went to Xunyuan last time was Heihuaizi. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhu Hui couldn't explain more clearly. What he was talking about was the impression that Xunyuan would have among most forces. Of course, Lord Chongshan was his friend, so Zhu Hui would not just say a few words so simply. He still gave some subtle hints.
Ye Lu is so smart. As soon as Zhu Hui opened his mouth, he knew what kind of organization Xunyuan would be.
In short, this is an organization that only top powers or those with certain knowledge can enter.
“…” No wonder Zhu Hui has such an attitude.
Ye Lu's expression showed a hint of thoughtfulness.
Zhu Hui touched his nose and said helplessly: "Actually, I didn't expect that Chongshan would have the qualifications to join the Xunyuan Club so early, and so quickly." In Zhu Hui's expectation, Chongshan would definitely be able to enter the Xunyuan Club. With so many strange plants, as long as the people in the academy are not fools, they will not miss Chongshan.
Moreover, there are companion strange plants in Chongshan, wild strange plants, and strange plants planted from seeds. These three types of strange plants are very complete, and the experience gained is not inferior to that of some medium-sized forces with a solid foundation.
But it was still too fast. In Zhu Hui's expectation, he had to wait at least until Chongshan's planting experience developed a system, or at least wait until Chongshan had a strange plant grown from seeds.
"So this letter was not given to me by the academy?" Ye Lu quickly understood the meaning from Zhu Hui's words.
"Of course not. Although the Golden Orange of Chongshan has a great reputation in Yuyao City, and many forces know us, the news does not spread that fast. The academy probably hasn't received the news yet." Zhu Hui was worried that Ye Lu would misunderstand what he meant, so he quickly explained.
"So that's it?" Ye Lu understood very well and just asked back.
Zhu Hui pointed at the sun in the sky and said, "Yes."
Ye Lu was really surprised this time. He wondered, "Why is it Yang Ling? Didn't he repay the favor before?" Ye Lu still remembered what Zhu Hui and Ban Lan said about the previous auction, in which Young Master Yang Ling put in a lot of effort.
"Lord Chongshan, you should pay more attention to the golden orange." Zhu Hui said helplessly after hearing Ye Lu's words. He could completely understand Young Master Yang Ling's feelings. He also explained: "The golden orange not only brought benefits to us, but also to Jinxin Commercial Bank."
"Based on Young Master Yang Ling's temper, he must feel that not only did he fail to repay your favor, but he also made a profit from you. Look, he returned it to you double this time." Zhu Hui had some understanding for this kind of wealthy top young master. Damn it, he once wanted to make more friends with such wealthy people.
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows. This temper is too much like the descendant of Da Ri.
Zhu Hui looked at Ye Lu's expression and sighed, "The point is, Lord Chongshan, your previous dealings with Young Master Yang Ling probably really showed that you were really impressed by his character. He treated you as a brother and sent you all the good things he had."
Young Master Yang Ling still couldn't figure out whether he hated or liked the Lord of Chongshan, but Zhu Hui saw it clearly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There were so many forces out there who wanted to have a good relationship with this young master. Who knew? This young master would actually have a bad temper with the Lord of Chongshan, who only had a little reputation at the moment.
Luck? It’s hard to explain this thing.
After hearing this, Ye Lu smiled, but there was a hint of helplessness in his smile.
He also didn't expect that his kindness would be rewarded so well. Ye Lu now feels a little regretful. Was he too mean to that little bird in the first place?
"I understand." Ye Lu paused and took the jade seal. If Ye Lu was not sure that no one knew about Wu Tao, let alone the three brothers and the people in He Village would never say anything about the strange plant on the mountain, they would have thought that Yang Ling knew something and gave him the jade seal.
Because of Huang Jinju and their friendship, this reason also makes sense.
"When will this source-seeking meeting begin?" Ye Lu fumbled with the jade seal for a moment, then thought of another question, and looked up to ask Zhu Hui.
"When the time comes, this letter will automatically send a divine consciousness message. The letter given by Young Master Yang Ling is different from the ones we usually get. It is of a higher level." Zhu Hui explained: "You can bring a piece of strange food with you. Yu Zhang will tell you how to make it. The prerequisite is that you have to confirm that the strange plant that produces the strange food is yours."
"Each source-seeking meeting will have a content, and only when it is opened will the person holding the jade seal know it."
"Young Master Yang Ling probably wants you to take the golden tangerines with you, and at the same time help Chongshan raise his profile in front of all the major forces." In fact, many forces do this.
