Chapter 238 Return on Investment At that time, I don’t know how many powerful tricksters there were...
At that time, no one knew how many powerful and treacherous warriors were hiding behind him, just waiting for Lan Ji to take another step forward, and then they would come out to rob him.
Unfortunately, Lan Ji ran too fast and they couldn't catch up with him. They could only watch Lan Ji hide again.
Zhu Hui was able to get in touch with this guy and get his share of the strange plant remains because he once had a friendship with Lan Ji.
"Lan Ji has no power behind him now. Apart from the mink, he has only five strange plant remains on his body. He doesn't plan to keep any of these five strange plant remains." Zhu Hui has a very good relationship with Ye Lu, so he told the whole story right from the beginning.
Anyway, he was thinking about Lan Ji's request. Lord Chongshan could be considered to be able to satisfy his request for rescue. Since he was going to sell it anyway, he might as well give it directly to his brother.
Zhu Hui is quite thoughtful in this regard. What's the good thing about him? He never forgets others.
Ye Lu pondered for a moment. He heard the seriousness in Zhu Hui's words. He blinked and looked up just in time to see Zhu Hui. Although the old man was smiling, his eyes were very serious.
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Zhu Hui, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. What is the relationship between us?" She was still playing tricks in front of him and didn't hide anything at all.
Zhu Hui sighed. He didn't intend to hide it. He explained directly, "Chongshan, the relationship between the Putao Mountain Range and our two caravans is very good. The Colorful Caravan is of course very good. Our caravan has also received a lot of care from the previous Putao Mountain Masters. Lan Ji is a cruel guy, but he also knows how to be grateful. He has always remembered the kindness I showed him when I gave him the strange food. When he saw me for the first time not long ago, he agreed to give me five strange plant remains without even asking."
Lan Ji was a very decisive boy. He agreed as soon as he saw him. Zhu Hui asked him why, and he said directly that it was because of the favor he had shown him in the past.
Even if you are not a human being, you can't help but feel soft-hearted.
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows even higher when he heard what Zhu Hui said about Lan Ji. He was a grateful boy, so he said bluntly: "Why are you in such a hurry? I won't cheat him. Don't you know my business style?"
I think Ye Lu likes win-win cooperation, and he won't use any tricks on a kid.
"Of course I know, but we have to make it clear." Zhu Hui must know Ye Lu's style. It is better to say that it is precisely because he knows Ye Lu's style that he took the initiative to reveal the news about Lan Ji. If it were someone else, Zhu Hui would not let the other party find any trace. When he heard Ye Lu's words, he knew that Ye Lu understood what he meant, and Zhu Hui immediately showed a simple smile.
Zhu Hui said the rest of the words very straightforwardly: "Lan Ji, I just want some weird food."
"All the strange food for cultivation should preferably be produced by one force. The requirement is that he should have a solid foundation and the price should be lower. The only requirement is that the quality must be the best."
"What he told me was to give the five strange plant remains to one force at a time." Zhu Hui saw Ye Lu lost in thought, he paused, and continued: "To be honest, I think if Lan Ji knew that the five strange plant remains were sold to you, he would definitely be willing to give them to you, and he would also be willing to give you a discount."
"If I remember correctly, that kid only has a special talent, but he is not without any gold talent. The only other talent he has is probably the wood-attributed talent that was awakened when he used the green pine seeds. He has three talents, one of which is top-level, and he has brains, tsk!"
"What is he going to do?" Ye Lu figured out something and looked at the other side's Zhuhui leader inquiringly.
"Hehe." Zhu Hui showed a ferocious smile: "Stone slave."
"Lan Ji now? He doesn't even want to establish his own power. He just wants to settle accounts with those stone slaves."
In other words, this kid will make a big trouble sooner or later! Ye Lu received Zhu Hui's meaning. Lan Ji is now a hidden dragon in the abyss. It is estimated that sooner or later he will soar to the sky. He has brains, talent, luck, and finally the connections of the Putao Mountains. As long as he does not die in the future, he will reach the top sooner or later.
What Zhu Hui wanted to do was to invest in Lan Ji when he was at his lowest point, and now he wanted to get his good friends to invest as well.
"I bought all five remains of strange plants." Ye Lu thought about it. He had a good impression of this kid Lan Ji. The news about the auction at the Wuwu Trading Company finally reached his ears. Ye Lu didn't care at all whether the green pine seeds were sold or not. Anyway, he got a lot of benefits and could also help Chongshan He Village to become famous.
Taking one portion of green pine nuts is enough, there is no point in not selling the remaining portion.
Ye Lu paid more attention to the Putao Mountains that Lan Ji rebuilt later. Zhu Hui didn't say anything now, but he said it clearly. Zhu Hui only said that Lan Ji didn't want to establish a power now, but he didn't say that he wouldn't establish it in the future. The real trump card hidden in the Putao Mountains, plus the favor of a person in power of a top power, wow, Ye Lu made up his mind almost immediately.
Ye Lu turned around and said to Zhu Hui straightforwardly, "Since you want five strange plant remains, I'll pay the price of five portions of strange food."
"Golden tangerines, laurel seeds, etc. When he reaches the Blood Grudge level, I will give him a Pure Heart Peach." Ye Lu said with a smile, "You know the functions of these three strange foods. For the remaining two strange foods, he can choose from my Chongshan or other forces."
"Hiss..." Although Zhu Hui was prepared for Ye Lu to make a big move, after actually hearing his offer, he still took a deep breath and was shocked.
This price is really generous.
The five strange foods offered by Lord Chongshan are not the ordinary blood-grudge-level strange foods out there. Each one is a signature strange food. This makes the stakes very high. This chip is also top-notch even if it is placed outside. Zhu Hui knows better that Lord Chongshan always keeps his word. If he says you can pick whatever you want, then you can pick whatever you want.
If he remembered correctly, Chongshan also had some strange food that could prolong life.
"But, I have one more request." Ye Lu was satisfied to see Zhu Hui's shocked expression. He paused for a moment and said, "Next time when you deliver the remains of the strange plant, bring this Lan Ji strange man with you to Chongshan. We can talk about the follow-up matters."
Zhu Hui showed an expression of understanding, he knew that Ye Lu understood what he meant.
"Okay." Zhu Hui grinned. He was sure that as long as he brought this bargaining chip back to Lan Ji, the latter would definitely not refuse it. Chongshan was now famous because of the Qingxin Peach Banquet. Even the newly-cultivated tricksters knew that Lan Ji would definitely be tempted by this olive branch.
"At most half a month." Zhu Hui and Ye Lu settled the matter, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he finally completed the request of his big client, and he didn't have to worry about the big client running to find Ban Lan. If he knew that his big client had completed a big deal with his mortal enemy, he would grit his teeth and regret it. Now he also promised Ye Lu: "I will bring the remains of the strange plant and Lan Ji kid to you."
The red and gray caravan staggered out of the mountains, bringing news to Lan Ji in the distance.
The situation on the other side of the continent was also not at all peaceful.
After using the Qingxin Peach, Dao Ke left Chongshan and returned to the place where he had been living in seclusion.
The swordsman and the heart-eating old man parted ways halfway. Even if they were good friends, the swordsman would not trust anyone when he was in seclusion. This was his experience.
When his cultivation finally stabilized, he slowly opened his eyes.
The swordsman looked around at his solidified cultivation, and he looked down at the long sword in his hand. Since he opened his eyes, the long sword in front of him, which was connected to his life, kept making a buzzing sound, and the swordsman was not surprised because he was thinking this way in his heart.
With a "swoosh" sound, the long sword that had been buzzing non-stop was pulled out by the swordsman. The sharp edge of the sword was extremely sharp. The swordsman's face was reflected on the blade of the long sword. The swordsman smiled slightly: "Old friend, you want to take action too?"
The humming sound of the long sword intensified, as if responding to the swordsman's words.
The smile on the swordsman's face deepened. It was a very happy smile. It was hard to imagine that such a smile would appear on the face of the swordsman who was always known for his bitterness and hatred.
The swordsman pinched his fingers, walked out of the hut holding the long sword, and came to the big lake in front of the hut. He turned back and calmly held the long sword, and swung it lightly. The blade fell silently, and he turned and left. The next second, the hut that was still intact was instantly annihilated into pieces.
The whole person floated away.
Not long after, an incident occurred on the mainland.
The entire Daoxing Village was wiped out.
Men, women, young and old, blood flowed like a river, and no one was spared.
Countless spies saw with their own eyes the swordsman walking out of the gate of that force like a god of death. The swordsman seemed to have also seen the spies around who came after hearing the noise, and his eyes lightly swept around.
Every spy who was swept by felt as if they were being stabbed by a knife. This was the result of the swordsman not restraining his murderous intent.
After looking at everyone, the swordsman left with a calm expression, without any intention of taking any action.
This result successfully slowed down Takuji, who was originally preparing to escape. Wait? Wait? It seems that the swordsman is not prepared to kill them. As a member of the Hidden Village, Takuji has always been very aware of his identity as a member of the Hidden Village. Basically, any evildoer with a little bit of strength does not mind killing them.
The swordsman had once hunted down the people from the Hidden Village, but his strength was not strong enough and he failed to kill them.
Now? The swordsman is in a good mood and doesn't want to kill them directly?
"......Hiss, this aura is much more terrifying than the last time in Chongshan." After the swordsman turned and left, Qiao Er, who had been to Chongshan, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He was also someone who had witnessed the scene when the swordsman had just broken through, so he still felt creepy when he sensed the swordsman's gaze again.
He was using his talent, so he could sense it.
"Even though he has a profound foundation, this cultivation speed is too terrifying."
"Stop talking about this. You don't know how many times you have mentioned Chongshan. Even Xiao Shiyi knows that Chongshan's strange food is very precious. Look, how long did the swordsman take? This is Daoxing Village, right? This medium-sized force has always been weird. Didn't it say that there are at least three Blood Grudge-level strange warriors? None of the three Blood Grudge-level strange warriors could last two hours in front of the swordsman?" Gou Wu rolled his eyes. He also used a jade seal in his hand. The jade seal continuously emitted the strange power fluctuations, just like a strange weapon. In fact, it was just a seal that borrowed some of the strange power.
This group of people have been hiding until now by officially borrowing this letter?
"One and a half hours. I calculated it exactly." Qiao Er, who had sighed at the beginning, said it with certainty. He calculated it exactly in his mind.
Another cunning warrior who had just entered Daoxing Village to investigate also came out from behind the mountain gate. He came out of the bush with a pale face. He was very thin and looked like a teenager who had not yet reached adulthood. He whispered, "All dead. The heads of the three Blood Grudge-level ancestors were all split open, and their legs were all chopped off from the knees. Judging from the marks, it must have been done by the swordsman."
After hearing this, Qiao Er muttered, "What did I say? The swordsman must want to make a big fuss. He is here to seek revenge."
"So many years have passed. The last time a force was wiped out by a treacherous warrior was a hundred years ago, right?" As for the Putao Mountains, Shi Nu is not a treacherous warrior, and the last time a force was wiped out was because two forces were fighting each other. That's why the family was wiped out. In Daoxing Village, there is only one swordsman left.
"Okay, let's go quickly, otherwise the swordsman will come back and be unhappy with us and kill us with one move." Gou Wu urged.
They were not afraid of swordsmen before, but now? In this situation, Gou Wu still thinks it is better to stay away from swordsmen.
