Chapter 44 How come this village is so rich? After the full moon, that is...
After the full moon, there is the new moon.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence that the laurel tree officially became a sapling. It was a full moon that night.
Ye Lu sat in the carriage and looked out. He saw someone driving the car outside. The ghost scholar was practicing. With the help of white millet and green millet these days and eating a bay leaf, the ghost scholar finally reached the Baiyou level.
Ye Lu was watching over him in the carriage while he was breaking through.
The ghost scholar was seen sitting cross-legged on the hay with his eyes tightly closed. The strange power around him first spread outwards in circles, like ripples on the water, and then it was as if it was tightly grasped by a pair of invisible hands. All the strange power was taken into the body. After doing all this, the ghost scholar slowly opened his eyes.
"Did it?" Ye Lu asked softly, looking at the ghost scholar who had already revealed the aura of a true mid-stage Baiyou level.
The ghost scholar stood up straight, chuckled and said, "Of course." His cultivation finally caught up with his two brothers.
"It seems that we have to thank the great hero this time?" Ye Lu changed the subject and turned to the small sapling in the roots of the tree on the other side. It was daytime now, and the laurel tree did not have the strange appearance under the moonlight at night, but it was greener than the other strange plants.
There was no movement of the spiritual consciousness at the tree roots, and it was silent.
"You said, right, Ah Gui?" Ye Lu was not angry and continued to ask the ghost scholar.
The ghost scholar saw that Ye Lu was coaxing Laurel Tree, coughed, and whispered: "That's right."
Immediately, a somewhat aggrieved and angry spiritual consciousness came from the tree roots. Perhaps the laurel tree finally couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly jumped out from the roots again, circling around the two of them several times, emitting unhappy, angry, and sad emotions as it went along, most of which were transmitted to Ye Lu.
Seeing that Yuegui no longer rejected him, Ye Lu quickly approached the tree roots and coaxed her softly, "Good Yuegui, this leaf is for you to exchange for black soil."
You can see the current appearance of the laurel tree by approaching the roots.
The saplings, which are not even knee-high, stand tall and graceful, and their roots are as green as jade carvings. The crown of the tree was originally very dense, but it became much sparse without knowing when. It can be seen that the person who picked them was careful enough to pick them in a way that outsiders could not see.
The laurel sapling was still angry. Its leaves, those two-legged beasts took its leaves. Why didn't the companion protect itself? It didn't want the black soil anymore. The black soil was not tasty at all. It couldn't grow without leaves. It didn't want the black soil. It didn't want the black soil!
Laurel continued to vent his anger, upset and sadness towards Ye Lu.
Ye Lu had no choice but to continue coaxing her, saying: "The leaves of laurel are very useful. They can be exchanged for many things, not only black soil, but also strange beads. Even the things that the group of people moved to help you grow, laurel, the leaves can also be exchanged for a lot."
Laurel paused emotionally, and hesitated a little, really?
The laurel tree actually prefers the strange beads. The benefits that kind of beads bring to it are far greater. It is growing slowly, and if it gets some more of those strange beads, it would not be impossible to get some... some leaves.
The laurel tree's consciousness became even more hesitant, and it couldn't help but continue to ask the malicious companion: "Really?"
"Really? Really? A-Lu can't possibly lie to you." Ye Lu replied without hesitation. He had already made up his mind that no matter how the market transaction goes tonight, he must bring back some good things for the laurel tree, otherwise this silly laurel tree would really ignore him for a very long time.
Ye Lu had not expected that the laurel tree, which usually looked dull, would ignore anyone when it got angry and shrink back into the tree. Ye Lu coaxed it out for a long time but failed. Ye Lu knew in his heart that this was probably an instinctive reaction of the laurel as a spiritual plant. It must have leaves if it wants to grow them. Moreover, as a tree, being planted at the roots would indeed increase the laurel's sense of insecurity. Even Ye Lu could not do anything about the latter.
Ye Lu couldn't lie to Laurel about this matter, because it was his own companion spiritual plant. It would be fine if he just bullied it normally, but he could only explain the matter to Laurel in detail, for example, how the leaves of the laurel tree were very useful now, and how the leaves were very valuable, and the laurel fruit would also be very valuable in the future.
It hurts to see the leaves being plucked off, but when you see the strange beads and even the resources later, will it stop hurting?
Ye Lu's tactics were indeed very useful. Laurel was originally still sad, but now hesitant, he began to look forward to the "market" mentioned by Ye Lu.
The ghost scholar did not say anything, but watched Ye Lu explain silently. It must be said that the Taoist's brain circuit was as powerful as before, and he once again led others away. Before this, he and the playful man had also been successfully brought away from the brink of collapse by Ye Lu's brain circuit.
Ye Lu succeeded again, and the ghost scholar couldn't help but smile.
A total of thirty-three leaves could be plucked from the laurel tree. Each leaf contained sufficient mysterious power and had a strong scent of moonlight. As agreed at the beginning, half of the thirty leaves went to Ye Lu and the other half went to the villagers. As for the three extra leaves, Ye Lu was very generous. He handed two directly to his fourth uncle and asked him to divide them. He gave the remaining one to the ghost scholar.
The talent of the laurel tree also far exceeded everyone's expectations. Its talent was so good that the effect of the laurel leaves was even better than what Uncle He Qi had said.
According to the news passed on by Fourth Uncle He that night.
Bay leaves can speed up the consumer's absorption of moon essence, almost doubling the speed. In addition, they also have a certain effect in enhancing the sensitivity of moon essence. The latter is too subtle to be felt without careful perception, and it must be consumed for a long time to show its effect.
Practicing Yuehua, especially in this strange world, besides those who practice strange energy, the second most common thing for them is to practice Yuehua. Just to name a few people with talents who practice Yuehua, the people in He Village can name several.
They even have several people in He Village who have the talent to practice Yuehua.
As for the effect of enhancing the ability to sense moonlight, even stone masters have never heard of it.
Now, everyone is looking forward to the next market.
Before night fell, Ye Lu finally coaxed the laurel tree into submission. Fortunately, the laurel tree had a good temper by nature and was sufficiently dependent on its companion. After Ye Lu coaxed it for a long time, it finally calmed down and slowly began to look forward to the next market. If it were the heavy mountain vines, all living things present would have become orphans today.
The night gradually deepened, and a deep blue halo appeared on the horizon without anyone noticing.
"The convoy is almost here." A slow and low voice came from outside the carriage. Ye Lu and the ghost scholar leaned out of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw that the Hecun convoy had appeared outside a valley at some point. In addition to them, Ye Lu could see another convoy not far away at a glance.
That caravan also had bags of all sizes, and the cattle and livestock they drove were all half-monster beasts, but not as many as in He Village. They were probably also people fleeing famine, but from the curious faces of the villagers, big and small, in the carriages, it could be seen that they were in good spirits.
A guess silently emerged in Ye Lu's mind. It was another village with a certain hierarchy.
"The level of that Gui Village should not be as high as that of He Village." The ghost scholar also saw the convoy and observed for a moment. He mainly observed Qian Bacun. Village Chief Qian was not as slick as he was at the beginning. His expression was reserved. He saluted from a distance towards the man next to the carriage of the convoy on the other side, who was obviously the village chief.
He could tell from Qian Bacun's somewhat reserved yet friendly attitude that there was a slight gap in the levels of ghost power between their two villages, but it should not be far apart.
The people of He Village looked at everything around them with curiosity and surprise, including the new and strange village they were seeing for the first time.
He Village is too remote. They are the only strange village around them, and there are only a few ordinary villages besides them. This is the first time they have seen a village with strange plants.
On the other side, the villagers of the new village, also known as Chimai Village, were also talking about the carriage on the opposite side which was obviously taller and stronger than theirs.
"There are so many strange beasts in the village over there. I saw several green cows alone. Look, the horns of that cow are so big, it can be seen that it eats well!" Someone in the carriage couldn't help but discuss with his companions, while at the same time staring at the green cows pulling the carts with saliva dripping from their mouths.
Qingmu cattle are not only expensive, but also difficult to raise. Many people can afford to buy them, but very few can afford to raise them. It can be seen from the fact that they are called strange beasts that they also need to eat food with strange powers.
In other villages, even some straw with magical powers can be used. At worst, it can be sold to caravans. It is impossible to feed it to livestock.
"They are very powerful." The woman next to them also noticed this. She was dressed lightly, focusing on protection, and had a long sword in her hand. She should also be a member of the village guard, so she naturally looked more carefully.
For example, the convoy was moving neither fast nor slow, surrounded by the darkness of the night, and at first glance, it seemed very dark. However, a closer look revealed that the dense impurities in the night could no longer get close to the convoy after a certain distance, as if an invisible giant hand was blocking the dangerous approach of the darkness of the night.
"A strange weapon." The woman said with certainty. Only a strange weapon has such ability, and it is more than just the Baiyou level.
"What? Did I hear it right? There are strange weapons in that village? But seeing that they are in such good spirits that they are willing to come to the market specially, they should also grow strange plants, right?" The man next to her immediately leaned his head out of his car and asked the woman below.
"Yeah." The woman nodded.
"Not only that, there are other strange beasts as well. I just saw a group of black dogs running around the convoy, and from time to time they would catch strange things from the shadows and eat them. They are obviously specially trained strange beasts." A guard who was passing by heard the conversation and couldn't help but interrupt, telling them what he had just seen.
"Wow..." The villager at the beginning couldn't help but exclaimed: "How come this village is so rich?"
"I guess you haven't experienced any hardship during this journey."
With so many strange beasts, strange weapons that can protect you, and strange plants that can be planted, it is hard to be poor.
In the carriage filled with small red wheat strange plants headed by the Red Wheat Village, there is a strange plant in a large vat inside the carriage that is slowly stretching its body.
At first glance, the strange plant looks like wheat, with a faint red color all over its body. It has a strange power, and one can vaguely see that it has the effect of fire ability.
This is the strange plant on which Chimai Village depends for survival - small red wheat.
The carriage was completely silent. After looking at the convoy of the Hehe Village on the other side, the village chief Mai Gan of Chimai Village asked his village elder after a moment of silence, "Shu Lao, is that the Hehe Village you mentioned?"
"Yeah." Shu Lao was an old man who was full of energy and exuded warmth. He was tall and muscular, and one could tell at first glance that he was a martial artist.
But at this time, Mr. Shu's expression was quite complicated, and he said: "We didn't know that Hecun was like this."
So rich!
