Chapter 190 Yellow-skinned Fruit Ye Lu kept this in mind and did not continue...
Ye Lu kept this in mind and did not continue to ask anyone. Instead, he went directly to the ancestral hall in the center of the village.
The current Hecun ancestral hall is not only used for worshiping strange objects, but also for planting strange plants for worship. Even though the Yangteng tree is not in the ancestral hall now, it is still outside the hall, also because it needs to be worshipped by the villagers.
After entering the ancestral hall, Ye Lu immediately saw the ghost scholar smiling in the middle of the crowd.
"......." This is very rare. It is rare for Ye Lu to see the ghost scholar showing a sincere smile to outsiders. It seems that Ah Gui gets along well with the people in He Village. He couldn't help but straighten his sleeves and stepped forward.
Next to the ghost book student were Uncle He Si and Uncle He Qi. Uncle He Qi had a smile on his face and was saying something to his brother Uncle He Si from time to time.
When the ghost scholar saw Ye Lu coming, he smiled and nodded at Ye Lu.
"What happened today that makes you so happy? Everyone seems so happy along the way?" Ye Lu greeted his two uncles first, and then asked the ghost scholar. He knew that the ghost scholar must know what was going on.
Ye Lu was also thinking in his heart what happy event might happen in He Village that would bring joy to the whole village.
Before Ye Lu could figure it out, Uncle He Qi couldn't wait to speak: "Lu, why did you come down the mountain? Are you asking what happened in our He Village?"
"A kid in Hedong found a strange plant." Ye Lu already had a vague guess in his heart, but when Uncle He Qi really talked about it, he couldn't help but smile a little.
After announcing this matter with great enthusiasm, Uncle He Qi continued to say to Ye Lu happily: "You know what, that kid is quite clever. When the whole village went to the back mountain, he simply didn't go up the mountain, but went to a nearby hillside to look for some food. He didn't expect that he would see a sapling next to it."
"Look, he brought it back and showed it to the villagers."
After listening to this, Ye Lu had a general idea of the whole incident. It turned out that it was just a kid in the village who got lucky.
...Counting it this way, Ye Lu quickly counted in his mind the strange foods that He Village currently had, and there were almost several types of strange foods.
Ye Lu turned to look at the ghost scholar, trying to get specific information about this new strange plant.
The ghost book student explained in a more specific way with a smile, saying: "That kid's home is at the entrance of the village. He is the only one with talent in his family. He is not very old and his talent is not very high. He is considered to be of gold attribute. Originally, the village planned to let him use this kind of talent to help forge weapons and so on."
"Coincidentally, his family is also an ancestral blacksmith."
"The strange plant we found on the hillside behind the mountain this time is a yellow-skinned fruit. It is a small sapling next to a large yellow-skinned fruit. Its level is about the Huangli level."
"It's not high, but it should be good for them." The ghost book student pondered for a moment and then told everything he knew.
"What's the effect?" Ye Lu also thought for a moment and looked up at Uncle He Qi. He knew that this matter must be handled by his Uncle He Qi.
Uncle He Qi really spoke very cheerfully: "It takes ten years to bloom, ten years to bear fruit, and ten years to mature. Because they are too young, the village plans to increase the fruit-free period to 20 years. The purpose is to remove toxins from the internal organs."
"Didn't you return the remains of the strange plant to the village last time? You are also going to give them all to this yellow-skinned fruit tree. I hope it grows faster."
Ye Lu knew what the effect of removing toxins from internal organs was, but once the thirty-year maturity cycle was added, the effect was a bit abnormal.
"Seventh Uncle, are you sure it's thirty years?" Ye Lu patiently asked Uncle He again.
When Fourth Uncle He heard his nephew's emphatically asked, he knew that his nephew had also noticed something was wrong. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's thirty years."
"Old Seven is indeed right."
When Ye Lu saw the affirmative expression on Uncle He's face, he suddenly realized something and asked questions one after another: "This effect is only useful for young children, right? Is it less effective for adults?"
"Brother Lu, what did you find?" The ghost scholar frowned and asked Ye Lu in a very casual tone.
"It is said that this effect can remove toxins from the internal organs, and that is true, but it has to be viewed together. Toxins from the internal organs are related to talent and life span. The toxin removal effect of the yellow-peeled fruit tree should not be strong. In this case, adults cannot use it, so it can only be used by children."
"To be precise, it can increase some children's innate physique and lifespan."
"The thirty-year maturity cycle does make sense." Ye Lu said what he was thinking, and his frown slowly relaxed.
"What is the village going to do?" Ye Lu continued to ask, his eyes lingering on the ghost scholar and He Sijiu. Obviously, all the big and small matters in He Village now have to be handled by these two people.
When the ghost book student heard that what Ye Lu said was similar to the effect they had estimated, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief. This was good news. The Taoist master was also gifted with the ability to control strange plants. With the double affirmation of Uncle He Qi and Ye Lu, the effect of this yellow-skinned fruit was basically certain.
"The yellow-skinned fruit tree seedlings have been planted, and the guard team will send more people there." The ghost scholar said, "What we are discussing is how to distribute the strange food produced by this yellow-skinned fruit tree. At present, the strange plant's consciousness has not appeared, and we don't know how many yellow-skinned fruits a batch can produce."
Ye Lu heard that the ghost scholar did not mention the caravan at all. Not only the ghost scholar, but also He Sijiu had no intention of stopping it. He immediately understood what the ghost scholar meant and said, "Aren't you going to sell it to the caravan?"
Normally, the caravan would offer a higher price.
"The person who discovered this yellow-skinned fruit was not only the kid from the Tie family, but also a member of the guard team. According to the rules, the village also has a half share." The ghost scholar shook his head and said, "The yellow-skinned fruit is too important for children's talents. The village elders unanimously decided not to sell it and leave it for the children to eat."
"So? Then the only thing left to sell is the half that belongs to the Tie family kid."
"But the yellow-skinned fruit is different from ordinary strange food. Its effect is both big and small. Only people who know the goods can understand it. If you can't understand it, no matter how much you say, it's useless. Strange food is expensive, and the role of the caravan is much smaller. Instead of selling it to the caravan, which won't increase the price, it's better to sell it to other forces in the Forbidden Stone Ridge."
It was the first time that Ye Lu heard about other forces in the Jinshi Ridges. He was a little surprised at first, but suddenly he thought of the Huoshan Village next door, and it suddenly dawned on him that since there could be one Huoshan Village in the Jinshi Ridges, why couldn’t there be two or even three Huoshan Villages?
There are many good things in Huoshan Village, and they are all envious. However, the village chief Hongling of Huoshan Village has always been calm and will not give out good things easily.
The ghost book student's purpose can be seen at a glance. The continuous growth of He Village's power is a foregone conclusion. Instead of making the surrounding small forces alert and fearful, it is better to show the grace and friendliness of a big force from the beginning and give out a share of the strange food. In this way, not only if there is an accident later, they in He Village can take action with justification, but also stabilize the reputation of He Village.
It also increases the strength of the surrounding forces.
After all, no one can predict the future of Hecun. What if other caravans continue to come? Seeing a group of weak small forces in Jinshiqunling, they will naturally look down on Hecun.
Ghost Book? This move achieved multiple goals at once.
“We have just decided on the sales method.”
"Not selling, only exchanging. Bring good things here to exchange." Seeing that Ye Lu understood what he meant, the ghost scholar began to explain.
"When each batch of yellow-skinned fruits matures, a few spots will be released to those small forces." The ghost scholar explained.
Sure enough, the Ghost Book Student still wanted the good things from those small forces, but this was also Ah Gui’s nature, and Ye Lu did not expect the Ghost Book Student to change.
Ye Lu sighed secretly and said nothing.
"Are you planning to release the quota now?" Ye Lu recalled that when he came down, the ghost scholar seemed to be talking to his two uncles. He touched his nose and asked in doubt.
"Um."
"At least we have to let those forces know, and we have to leave good things behind. Some strange foods with rare effects cannot be taken out immediately. Usually they are reserved as soon as the quota is released." The ghost scholar continued to explain. This was reminded by Fourth Uncle He.
Small forces are different from big forces. Big forces can keep some strange food and store it by various means to leave it to the younger generation. But it is very difficult for small forces to just survive, and every bit of their strange food must be transformed into power.
