Chapter 71 Another Accident?! The Colorful Caravan Enters the Qingmu Mountains...
After the colorful caravan entered the Qingmu Mountains, they met the leader Qingli, who smiled and handed the prepared strange food to them.
After a moment, Chief Qingli spoke in a gentle but apologetic tone: "Chief Banlan, I have seen the Qingling insect powder you sent over. It is indeed a rare strange food. Not only does it have the dual attributes of wood and strange, but more importantly, this strange food can be provided continuously for a long time."
"Even I am moved."
Leader Banlan was smiling at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. What Leader Qingli said made him feel bad.
As expected.
"It's just that Qinggui Li's share has been reserved. We can only miss this Qingling insect powder with regret." Leader Qingli really values the Qingling insect powder. It is the first time he has seen such a strange food with suitable properties. If there were no laurel seeds, he would definitely give one of the ten caravans' shares to the Colorful Caravan.
It’s a pity that there are no ifs.
In the heart of the Qingli leader, he valued the effect of the laurel seeds more. As for the other shares of the Qingguili, they had been snatched away by caravans long ago. This strange plant did not belong to him alone, he also borrowed a lot of power from the tribe.
"If Chief Banlan is willing to sell the Qingling insect powder, our Qingmu Village is willing to meet any request." Chief Qingli asked without giving up.
The colorful leader remained calm, hiding the doubts in his heart.
After hearing what Chief Qingli said again, he refused with a look of regret. He came all the way to the Qingmu Mountains and took out the rare Qingling insect powder, not for some ordinary strange plants. The quality of the strange plants in the Qingmu Mountains was indeed good, but in the eyes of a big businessman, they were not up to standard.
Leader Qingli's eyes were full of regret. Fortunately, he also knew that the Colorful Caravan would never agree to his request, so he was just trying to ask.
Leader Banlan led the caravan out of Qingmu Mountains in confusion. Huaxian was also puzzled. The Qingling insect powder did not impress Qingmu Mountains. This was a strange food that could deepen the dual-attribute sensitivity of the wood and strange elements. Currently, that small village was breeding these Qingling insects, and only their caravan took up all the share.
You can't find it outside.
Hua Xian was sure that Leader Qingli was moved.
"Something is wrong with the Qingmu Mountains this year?!" Hua Xian couldn't help but mutter.
Hua Xian paused again, and suddenly remembered the Zhuhui caravan that he met when his caravan came here.
"Could it be them?" Hua Xian continued to mutter in a low voice, but he himself felt that it was impossible. How could it be possible? If it was possible, the Zhuhui Caravan was a new caravan.
"Hua Xian, what are you mumbling about?" The colorful leader at the side raised his eyebrows and looked at the younger generation who was mumbling.
"Boss, do you think the Zhuhui Caravan could have gotten a spot?" Hua Xian looked up and asked.
When Banlan heard this, he didn't say anything. He played with the jade in his hand with one hand, thinking thoughtfully, and he didn't say anything.
Hua Xian knew she had said the wrong thing as soon as she opened her mouth, so she quickly covered her mouth. But seeing that her boss didn't seem angry, she quietly looked up at people and breathed a sigh of relief. If she had known, she wouldn't have mentioned Zhu Hui and the others.
Some time passed.
The colorful caravan traveled along the designated trade route, and their next stop was the Mingshan Mountains.
Mingshan ranks very high among the 100,000 mountains. It is famous for its weird plants and its signature black locust seeds have a very powerful background. If you talk about the function of the black locust seeds, you may think that the function of improving the degree of weird sensitivity is very common. Only when you actually eat the black locust seeds will you know how terrifying this weird food is.
This is a continent dominated by evil spirits.
No matter what kind of attributes a weirdo has, he will cultivate weird power, and weird power depends more on the degree of weird sensitivity.
One hundred thousand mountains.
The mountains and waters of the Shiwan Mountains are different from those outside. They are lush and green, and both plants and animals have an indescribable and terrifying vitality. Just by staying where they are, they can feel the wildness of the world.
The endless mountains stretch as far as the eye can see.
All you can smell is a faint scent of miasma mixed with water vapor and earth.
The colorful caravan had already traveled a long way in the Ten Thousand Mountains at this time. They encountered countless strange things along the way, and they were all killed by the caravan members who saw them. Those that could be used were treated as merchandise, and those that could not be used were picked up and given as gifts.
Hua Xian was jumping and skipping below the caravan, his whole body shrouded in a long robe. He looked at the pure black mountain in the distance with great excitement. The whole mountain was surrounded by countless mists, and a dark, depressing, coercive, and weird aura was blowing in his face.
"Every time I come to Ming Mountain, it feels so strange. It always feels like the first time I see it." Hua Xian had long forgotten everything that happened in Qingmu Mountains. He looked at Ming Mountain and talked about the scenery of Ming Mountain, but what he was actually thinking about in his mind was the black locust seeds.
Black locust seeds!! Black locust seeds!!
Hua Xian couldn't help humming in her heart when she was happy, and she almost couldn't wait to urge the caravan to speed up, as they wanted to grab a share of the black locust seeds.
The colorful caravan entered the Dark Mountain and was welcomed in by people along the way.
This time, they were even entertained by the next generation of the mountain master of Mingshan, Guihe.
The reception venue was the usual Guizong Hall.
A cave that looks very deep and dry. Made by a secret method, the whole cave is not cold at all. Once you enter the cave, there is even just the right amount of light inside, which brings a hint of warmth. Inside the cave sits a figure with a straight back.
It was the ghost crane.
Gui He is a young man who looks very ordinary at first glance, but if you look closely you will find that he has a very special temperament. He carries a mysterious and deep aura, and he is neither hurried nor slow, but very calm, as if he can handle anything calmly.
At this time, Guihe was sipping tea with his head down. His movements were neither hurried nor slow, and they had a rhythm of their own. In the darkness, he straightened his back. When he saw someone coming, he put down his teacup and greeted, "Captain Banlan, long time no see."
"He Guizi, long time no see." Banlan said with a smile.
Banlan and Guihe have a good personal relationship, mainly because Guihe is worthy of being a devil carefully selected by Mingshan. Not only is he talented, but he also speaks politely and in a manner that is impeccable. He seems aloof at first glance, but he is actually very considerate. He often thinks of things for you that you yourself have not thought of.
The reputation is very good.
After the two of them exchanged greetings, Banlan naturally mentioned the matter of Heihuaizi.
The share of the yellow-grade black locust tree is in the hands of the He Guizi in front of him? It was cultivated by him and is nominally his strange plant.
Guihe said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Banlan, all the black locust seeds for this year have been reserved. I was planning to give you the remaining share, but unfortunately, something unexpected happened along the way, so I had to give away this last share of black locust seeds."
The bay leaves he took out were a good stuff that made the younger generations of Mingshan's eyes light up. In addition to the weird attributes, Mingshan also has a lot of moon talents, not to mention the bay leaves he took out later. Guihe has already reserved two batches of the next batch of black locust seeds.
Guihe is a devil, so it's true that this black locust seed is the strange plant he cultivated, but he also relied on a lot of help from the tribe and had to consider the ideas of the little ones. Even so, the laurel seeds are in short supply and some people have come to him to ask for more laurel seeds.
Accident?, another accident?.
This was the second accident he encountered during this business trip.
Banlan could even foresee that he would most likely encounter more accidents on this business trip.
But what the colorful merchant had never believed in for so many years was accidents. He was quite sure that something beyond his expectations must have happened, and this caravan was very likely related to the Zhuhui caravan.
The beautiful leader didn't even show any anger. He still maintained that reserved smile and said, "I understand."
"I'm sorry, Banlan, there are other strange plants in Mingshan. I can give you some newly cultivated strange plants."
Of course, Banlan would not object. Weird plants are different. The premise is that he has to find out what happened. The leader of Banlan rubbed the chair in his hand for a moment and asked: "He Guizi, we have been friends for many years. I know your character. I don't think I can get anything out of you."
"It's just that our caravan has traveled so far, but Mingshan can't fulfill our promise. You have to give me some hints."
Banlan's beautiful face was expressionless as she stared straight at He Guizi and said calmly: "I have to give an explanation to our bloodline." The Black Sophora japonica caravan was not only related to his caravan, but also to other caravans of the spotted bloodline in Shizhu Village. In many cases, strange food of the quality of the Black Sophora japonica caravan was the most important thing for every bloodline.
The lack of each top-notch food is no less than an uproar.
Guihe also knew this.
Guihe certainly would not want to offend the spotted bloodline. They were indeed the most famous bloodline in Shizhu Village, and they controlled countless strange food shares. After a moment, he paused and said, "Leader Banlan, instead of asking us, why not go back to the village and ask the elders."
"Maybe someone knows better than us." Of course, Guihe would not disclose the trader's information and would keep things one thing at a time.
When the colorful leader heard this, he understood instantly.
What I expected finally happened.
"…………Zhu Hui." Banlan lowered his head slightly and spoke in a low voice. He looked thoughtful. Zhu Hui, what did you find? The strange plant. He actually took a bite from the share of the strange plant that he was optimistic about.
He must go back to Shizhu Village.
After Guihe finished speaking, he continued to drink his tea calmly, as if he had not heard the words that Banlan had whispered.
Forbidden Stone Mountains.
Heavy Mountain
Hecun.
Ye Lu and his men watched the Zhuhui caravan hurried away.
During this period, countless strange foods were left behind.
Ye Lu did not go into seclusion because of the laurel tree, but chose to wait, waiting for the things to be delivered, and then break through together with the laurel tree.
On the morning of the fourth day, just as Zhu Hui said, there was a man in a blood-stained robe at the foot of the mountain. It was hard to tell how old he was, and he was looking Chongshan up and down.
Ye Lu noticed something was wrong at the first moment, and the big rabbit dodged without hesitation. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the wrong spot, and sure enough, he found a man in a blood-stained robe. This man was just outside the sensing range of the Bronze Mirror Lady.
“……”Ye Lu was speechless at that time.
"Are you the little Lord Chongshan that Zhu Hui mentioned?" Xue Qi was not at all shy when he was discovered. He even had the nerve to greet Ye Lu.
As soon as he heard Zhu Hui, Ye Lu knew that the delivery man had arrived.
"Come in!" Ye Lu stood up straight and invited Xue Qi to come in.
After Xue Qi came in, he took out a leather bag from his arms. The bag was very smooth, and there were some mysterious patterns on the leather. The next second, a huge rotten tree root appeared on the ground out of nowhere.
It is almost as big as a small building, and it is just the roots of the tree.
Ye Lu looked at the blackened scars on the tree roots and guessed that the upper part of the tree must have been burned by fire. Even the remaining roots should not be underestimated. It is hard to imagine what this camphor tree monster looked like when it was alive. The powerful aura of strange power that was blowing in his face was also accompanied by a hint of natural mystery.
No matter how strange the tree monster is, it will always carry a hint of natural breath.
After Xue Qi released all the tree roots, he took out two wooden boxes from his bag, one large and one small, and handed them to Ye Lu, saying, "The camphor tree beads and three portions of black locust seeds have been delivered. Please check them."
"The camphor tree remains are bursting with strange power. Are you about to break through?" Xue Qi saw Ye Lu staring at the rotten camphor wood and thought he wanted to use it, so he generously told him how to use it. He could tell at a glance that Ye Lu had reached a certain level of cultivation, so he said, "Use your laurel tree little by little first, so that it can adapt to the camphor tree remains in advance. When half of it is used up, the remaining half will be used by him when you break through. Remember to crush the camphor tree strange bead."
"It is very likely that it can break through to the Qingyou level."
"That little bastard Zhu Hui was right, it really is a companion weird plant!" When he said this, Xue Qi couldn't help but mutter again, and the vague dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared. Xue Qi's cultivation was so high that he almost immediately noticed that there was a breath on the other side of the mountain that originated from the same breath as the baby in front of him.
It was a strange moon-type plant.
I'm afraid it's the laurel tree.
Ye Lu guessed that this person was a member of the tribe of Chief Zhu Hui. Hearing the muttering, he remained calm and opened the wooden boxes. As expected, one box contained strange beads, and the other contained nine black locust seeds. The nuts were shiny and glossy, and looked ordinary at first glance, but there was some strange aura entwined around the surface of the seeds.
"Thank you!" Ye Lu received the goods with satisfaction, looked up and thanked sincerely.
"No need, just deliver it." Xue Qi waved his hand with a friendly look on his face.
"Who are you?" Ye Lu blinked and asked about Xue Qi's identity.
"Xue Qi, a member of Xiao Zhuhui's clan, is also a businessman from Shizhu Village." Xue Qi introduced himself.
Xue Qi had only been in the mountain for a short time, but his spiritual sense had quickly explored the entire mountain. There were actually two strange plants on this mountain, not to mention the ones at the foot of the mountain. This person must be a rich man.
"Master Chongshan, the future is promising!" Xue Qi couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank you for the compliment." Ye Lu listened to Xue Qi's introduction without changing his expression. He estimated this man's strength. He was not weak. Was this the elder that Zhu Hui mentioned who killed the camphor tree monster? Or was he the elder who was cheated out of his share of black locust seeds?
Xue Qi was obviously very busy. Even though he tried his best to be friendly to Ye Lu, he could not stay long. Just after he expressed that if there was any more strange food, he was welcome to exchange with their caravan, Xue Qi seemed to have encountered something and quickly asked to leave.
The man in the blood-stained robe disappeared into the mountains like a gust of wind.
Now that the strange food is in place, we will have to break through one by one.
Xi Mingren became the first person to go into seclusion and prepare for a breakthrough. He brought strange food into the cave prepared in advance by the ghost scholar, which was just not far from their two-story building. It was a cave dug by Helan. The cave was dry and the temperature was just right. When people entered, a stone was placed at the entrance, making it even more suitable for cultivation.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar have been guarding the door to prevent the strange power from leaking out and any evil spirits from taking advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.
Unexpectedly, everything remained peaceful until the third day. On the morning of the fourth day, the large stone at the entrance of the cave was moved from the inside and pushed to the outside, revealing a tall figure inside.
The playful man looked at the two brothers outside with a smile.
The aura of Ximingren has undergone a drastic change compared to when he was at the Baiyou level. It is even stronger, deeper, and his aura is even more oppressive. It is exactly the Huangli level.
Ye Lu tilted his head slightly. He felt that the aura of the Ximing man seemed different. When he was at the Baiyou level, he was more like a human. After the Huangli level, he was more weird.
"Successful breakthrough!" Ximingren announced the good news of the breakthrough to his two brothers.
"What is the effect of black locust seeds?" Ye Lu's first reaction was that the aura of the playful man might be related to black locust seeds.
