Chapter 290 Chapter 290 “You can feel that…
"You can feel that special power, right?" After Zhu Hui finished speaking, he turned and looked at Ye Lu.
Ye Lu hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
Zhu Hui said with certainty: "That is the strange and weird food."
"The most important point about strange and weird food is also the point that people value the most..." Zhu Hui pondered for a moment, and then slowly told everything he knew, saying, "After the Blood Grudge level, if the tricksters want to continue to break through to a higher level of cultivation, they must and can only eat strange and weird food, so all tricksters will collect as much as possible when they are about to break through the Blood Grudge level."
When Ye Lu heard Zhu Hui's words, he suddenly remembered the time when he took his Qingxin Peach to an exhibition. The strange scholar from the academy proposed an exchange and told him to collect more strange food when he broke through the Blood Grudge level.
At that time, Ye Lu and the Ghost Scholar were still wondering what kind of weirdos they should collect, or what kind of high-level weird food they should get.
Later they thought that it might be a special weird food.
Now that I think about it, it might just be some weird food.
"Then according to you, how many strange and weird foods are there on the mountain?" Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and asked Zhu Hui. It was obvious that Zhu Hui had done in-depth research on strange and weird foods, so he would definitely ask someone familiar with it.
"Green pine nuts and pure peach can barely be called strange and weird foods at the moment. Laurel seeds are a little lower than them. If we really want to call them strange and weird foods, we still have to wait until the level of these strange plants reaches a higher level."
Ye Lu nodded in understanding.
What Zhu Hui said was almost the same as what Ye Lu had expected.
After Zhu Hui finished speaking, he saw that Lord Chongshan Ling's expression did not change at all. On the one hand, he sighed in his heart that Lord Chongshan's character was indeed incomparable to ordinary people. On the other hand, he was proud of his own vision. Fortunately, he made a bet when they first met, and now he can still give him a steady stream of returns.
Just thinking of this, Zhu Hui couldn't help but smile.
That guy Banlan wants to compete with him, but how can he do that? Is he worthy?
Zhu Hui was furious and disdainful in his heart, but on the surface he smiled as he said goodbye to Ye Lu. The caravan passing by knew how much Ye Lu valued his brother. Zhu Hui was not going to waste too long in the mountains, so he set out to trade for the strange food as soon as possible.
Ye Lu watched Zhu Hui's leaving figure slowly disappear into the jungle.
"...Chirp?" The hillside became quiet again, and Ye Lu heard the chirping sound of the bird in his hand, and its chubby little body was trembling.
"What's wrong?" Ye Lu lowered his head when he heard the chirping sound.
"...Chirp." Are there too few strange foods on the mountain? "Axi Bird said seriously.
Ye Lu reached out and covered Ah Xi Xiaoniao's head, and also covered what he was about to say next, and said lightly: "No, the current output of strange plants on the mountain should be enough for the three of us to use in the first stage. As for the future, the laurel and the green pine will break through with my breakthrough. In addition, our third strange plant is most likely a strange plant of the strange system." Ye Lu comforted: "It will definitely be enough."
"Besides, we can still continue to look for strange plants."
Ah Xi the bird withdrew its little head doubtfully.
Ye Lu looked normal. Of course, the reality was not as optimistic as Ye Lu said. After all, it was the first time that Ye Lu heard of the existence of Weird Food. He understood why those forces were unwilling to exchange Weird Food in the past. Who would be willing to exchange Weird Food for ordinary Weird Food? Even if it was him, he would not be happy.
But it’s not that bad. At least Chongshan still has the strange food. It just takes time to grow.
Another thing is that before Ye Lu said it out loud, he remembered the second site he had found. He felt that the site was filled with too much weirdness, very strange, and there was also a mysterious aura. Ye Lu thought he was overthinking it, but now thinking about it, his instinctive feeling at the time should be correct.
There might be some strange plants in the ruins.
It was precisely because the Black Tiger Vine was not a strange plant that it was abandoned by all the races and became a discarded pawn even though it was a top-level plant.
At present, Ye Lu can only think about this matter in his heart.
After the Red and Gray Caravan left, the Colorful Caravan came next.
Ye Lu had been staying on the hillside with Ah Xi the bird for only a few days when they heard the voice of the colorful leader coming from the foot of the mountain.
"Lord Chongshan...Lord Chongshan?" A familiar, clear voice with a smile came from the bottom of the mountain.
"I'm here, please come up." Ye Lu used his magical power to transmit his voice to the bottom of the mountain.
The colorful leader who was waiting at the foot of the mountain rushed up the mountain without stopping as soon as Ye Lu's voice came out, and then saw Ye Lu and the Anxi bird on the stone table.
Banlan discovered Ah Xi's bird earlier than Zhu Hui. He sensed a familiar scent almost as soon as he sat down. He stared at the fiery red bird on the stone table for a long time. After the fiery red bird moved its claws impatiently because of being stared at, he calmly withdrew his gaze.
"Ah ...
The fiery red bird spread its wings impatiently again, as a greeting.
"Atavism." The colorful leader nodded in understanding.
Ye Lu has become accustomed to the sharpness of these merchants from Shizhu Village. No matter what happens, it will not escape their eyes. Even if there is a little accident, they will be able to find the cause in the first time. This is what they have been taught since childhood in the village, and it is also the capital for them to travel across the continent.
To put it in simple terms, the heritage of Shizhu Village can be seen from these leaders of Shizhu Village.
It is worthy of being the top force that has stood on this continent for tens of thousands of years.
"Hua Xian has finally grown up?" Ye Lu looked at the young man next to Ban Lan, feeling somewhat familiar and a little unfamiliar. Although his face was still four points similar to Hua Xian's, the edges of his face were much harder than before. When he was a child, his face could easily be mistaken for a little girl, but now people would only think of him as a good-looking young man.
The young man with the flower line bowed seriously: "Lord Chongshan."
But he is still Brother Hua Xian. You couldn't tell at first, but his true character was revealed when he greeted him. Ye Lu nodded in his heart.
"This is the last time Hua Xian will travel with our caravan. After he grows up, he will form a new caravan on his own." Ban Lan next to him also calmly poured himself a cup of tea and explained why he brought Hua Xian here. It was mainly to help the younger generation build relationships with trading partners.
"I will give the share of the tea vines that we agreed with you to Hua Xian." Ban Lan looked at Ye Lu seriously and said, "As capital for him to set up a caravan."
"So fast?" Ye Lu was a little surprised. Although Hua Xian was already an adult, wasn't it too hasty for him to leave the caravan so soon? This was too fast in Shizhu Village. If he remembered correctly, Zhu Hui was forced to leave the caravan after he became an adult and formed his own caravan.
Zhu Hui's experience is rare in Shizhu Village, and now his predecessor is still being scolded.
"He is not completely independent. He is still in my business. When he can really stand on his own, he can go out on his own." Banlan said calmly.
That's rare too.
The population of Shizhu Village is small and their reproductive capacity is not strong. Some caravan leaders may never have children in their entire lives. Everyone counts according to bloodline. According to Zhu Hui, the younger generations in his caravan can be regarded as the children of the caravan leader to some extent.
Don’t you see how much Zhu Hui dotes on Zhu Bai and Lu Hui?
However, judging from the fact that Banlan was willing to give her share of the tea vines to Huaxian, what Zhu Hui said was true. The caravan leader really regarded the younger generations in the caravan as his own children.
As Chongshan's power gradually grew, the footsteps of the Banlan caravan were also spreading. Every year, Goucha Tengman received nearly 200,000 strange beads from Chongshan alone. Banlan might not get as many as Ye Lu, but he could still get 30,000 to 40,000 a year.
"Is Hua Xian leaving?" Ye Lu pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll give her a gift when the time comes."
Banlan couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Lord Chongshan was his big client, and he was always generous and ruthless.
"Can I ask what it is?" Banlan asked with a blink of her eyes.
"There are also some for you." Ye Lu spoke very calmly, as if he knew what Banlan wanted to ask. He said it again, Ye Lu knew these merchants from Shizhu Village too well. They were indeed full of care for their younger generations, but that didn't mean they wouldn't snatch their younger generations' share when they saw the strange plant's share.
Zhu Hui was of the same character and he argued that the competition within the Shizhu Village caravan was so fierce. If he couldn't even snatch it away from the caravan seniors who doted on him, he would be snatched away by other caravans sooner or later. It would be better for him to be snatched away by the caravan seniors now, so that at least some soup would be left for the little ones.
At this point, Ye Lu was deeply aware of the strange emotions among the merchants in Shizhu Village.
Looking at Hua Xian's normal expression, Ye Lu knew that he probably would never be able to understand the feelings between the people of Shizhu Village in his lifetime.
Again, this feeling is bizarre.
"I have just obtained a strange plant, and its function is similar to that of the tea vine." Ye Lu said simply. Although the Black Tiger Vine could only barely sense its own function now, Ye Lu realized what its function was, which should be the strengthening of flesh and blood.
What’s even more coincidental is that there is also a similar vine growing on the mountain.
Ye Lu also thought about whether he should give the share of the black tiger vine to the Zhuhui Caravan at first. Then he thought again, the Zhuhui Caravan had occupied too many shares of strange plants, including all the laurel seeds and green pine seeds, as well as the two shares of He Village. After all the calculations, the Colorful Caravan actually only had the share of the tea vine on the heavy mountain and a share of the golden wood beetle in He Village.
Ye Lu also has to consider Banlan's feelings, especially since this time he wants her to help him find strange plant resources.
"Found another strange plant? It seems like we came at the right time this year?" The colorful leader was very happy. Of course, he would not be so tactless as to ask Zhu Hui if he had any.
Banlan was still aware that his relationship with Lord Chongshan was not as good as that between Zhu Hui and Lord Chongshan. After all, Zhu Hui had invested in Guizhu from the very beginning. The damn Blood Poison lineage was still so greedy.
Banlan was still surprised by the strange plant that suddenly hit her head.
"Do you know any more specific effects?" Banlan asked Ye Lu with great curiosity.
"I don't know the more specific function. The only thing I can reveal is that it is a blood-grudge-level weird plant." Ye Lu shook his head and revealed another piece of information, saying: "It is similar to the Goucha vine, which is also my guess. The weird plant consciousness is only said to be in the flesh and blood aspect."
“That’s a lot of money.”
"How exactly is the transaction?" Just by listening to the brief description of the new strange plant from Lord Chongshan's mouth, Banlan was already filled with surprise. Not only was it a blood-grudge-level strange plant, but it was also a valuable flesh and blood enhancement.
Lord Chongshan is indeed very lucky.
"We'll see how good the fruits are when they're produced." Ye Lu first gave Ban Lan a shot of prevention, saying, "This strange plant is a black tiger vine. From what I can see so far, it should be a high-quality one."
"Black Tiger Vine? Black Tiger Vine is good. It should be the top plant in the vine series." When the colorful leader heard that it was Black Tiger Vine, his expression was even more pleasantly surprised, and he said: "Even if we go for the quality route, the yield will not be too low."
"Have you really given the entire share of this strange plant to our caravan?" Banlan couldn't help but ask again.
"There is still a part of the flower line, not all of your caravan's." Ye Lu said with a headache: After that, he chose to give up: "Forget it, if you really dare to steal the flower line, Hua Xian will definitely go back to the village to complain, and you will deserve to be scolded then."
"That's fine." Ban Lan rarely smiled without being so cold. He said with a smile: "Giving him 10% is enough."
