Chapter 83 Some are happy, some are sad. Li Hu and Zhao Xi's team are embarrassed...
After Li Hu and Zhao Xi's team dispersed awkwardly, he waved his hand, ignoring the awkward apologies of those people. It's nothing. Anyway, he was mentally prepared when he bought it.
After returning to the temporary cave, Li Hu took some golden tree milk to regulate his breathing. He felt the wounds on his body slowly healing. The remaining wounds could also heal themselves through his flesh. He slowly opened his eyes.
Now, he can practice with peace of mind.
Soon, Li Hu cast his curious eyes towards the wooden box containing the Goucha fruit.
Li Hu thought of the smiles on the caravan members' faces and the confident words they said when they were talking. He was silent for a moment, opened the wooden box, and the Gou Cha fruit in the wooden box still contained strange power. He took out a Gou Cha fruit and swallowed it slowly.
As the Goucha fruit entered the stomach, strange power suddenly exploded.
Li Hu closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to slowly regulate his breathing and circulate the strange power. Soon he realized that something was wrong with this strange power.
This strange power also contained some strands of thunder-attributed strange power. As he circulated the strange power, these thunder-attributed strange powers spread throughout his body, constantly being released, constantly stimulating his flesh and blood, his physique, and his entire body was strengthened.
"..." After Li Hu digested it, he began to ponder. This trick is good if used well, but it is definitely not worth one of the three strange beads. Is the Qingfei caravan really cheating people?
No, it won’t. The Qingfei Caravan won’t do that. It’s not worth it.
Or maybe he eats too little.
Li Hu thought about it and decided to continue taking the Goucha Fruit.
He swallowed the Gou Cha fruits one by one, and the lightning power in his body increased. Soon, when the last Gou Cha fruit was swallowed into his stomach, the lightning power was completely digested by him. Li Hu finally noticed an extremely obscure effect.
"My body is getting bigger?" Li Hu looked down at his open hands. He was definitely not mistaken. When his skills were practiced to a certain level, his five senses were more like those of tigers and leopards. He could see even the slightest change clearly. His hands had grown bigger.
To be more precise, his size has grown.
Immersed in spiritual consciousness.
Not only his body size, but his flesh and blood also became tougher and more full of vitality. This vitality was enough for him to complete two cycles of circulation. In the past, those strange foods would only be unable to continue after one cycle.
Three mysterious beads, really worth it!!
Li Hu stood up without hesitation. He didn't even have time to adjust his breathing from his previous training. He used his strange power and rushed straight to the base of the Qingfei caravan outside Qiang City.
Li Hu jumped down. At this time, there were not many people in the Qingfei caravan. He accurately found the caravan member who sold him the Gou Cha Guo and said, "How many Gou Cha Guos do you have? I want them all."
"I'm sorry, Li Guishi, all the Goucha fruits have been sold out." The young man from the caravan maintained a smile on his face, but in Li Hu's opinion, this smile was actually a bit annoying.
"But we also have golden soil scale powder produced in He Village. There are only two of them and the price is very expensive. Would you like to have some?" Then, the young man from the caravan took out a porcelain bottle with a smile on his face.
The porcelain vase is white with spots of blood on the body. This is the most commonly used porcelain vase for the piebald bloodline. Li Hu recognized it at the first sight.
That's right, it is impossible for Chief Banlan to go to Chongshan just to get a share of the strange food from the tea strange plant. Seeing that he couldn't get a share of the other strange plants in He Village as they had all been reserved by the hateful Zhu Hui, when Ye Lu introduced a new strange food to him, Banlan agreed without hesitation.
Even though this transaction method was unheard of, when Banlan saw those golden beetles, he readily took out the strange beads and strange resources as a deposit.
Banlan also took away all the shed shells of the golden earth beetle from Chen Yuanli's hands.
"How many? Ghost beads??" Li Hu didn't care how expensive the caravan member said was. In his mind, the other party said that they came from the same village, so he spoke without hesitation.
"Three hundred strange beads for one portion. Unfortunately, the strange beast that produces the golden earth scale powder in that village is only at the white wandering level. The strange power of this batch of strange food is not high, so the price is only this much. If the level is upgraded in the future, the price will double." The caravan member explained with a smile. Although he expressed regret that the strange beast had a low level of cultivation, there was no regret on his expression.
"In addition, this strange food is extremely special. Each person can only purchase one."
"Why is it sold so little?" This was Li Hu's first reaction. He now regretted not buying more when he saw the Gou Cha Fruit. When he wanted to buy more, the Golden Earth Scale Powder only allowed him to buy one portion. So one portion is enough. It's better than nothing.
"Okay, give it to me." Li Hu said readily.
Li Hu watched the caravan members packing with smiles on their faces. In his heart, he still wanted the Gou Cha Guo and couldn't help asking, "When will the new Gou Cha Guo arrive? Can we order it first? I can accept a price increase!"
Li Hu knows best the value of Goucha Fruit.
Physical cultivators, especially beast cultivators like them, value increasing size the most. Every time they grow larger, their combat effectiveness doubles. In the wilderness, the bigger their body size, the more intimidating they can be to other monsters. Not to mention that they can also practice blood and flesh magic in the future. All in all, there are many benefits.
Li Hu was hoping that the Qingfei Caravan would raise its prices.
The young man in the caravan looked accustomed to it. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "To be honest, Li Guishi, you are not the first one to ask about Gou Cha Guo. It's a pity that our boss can't guarantee it either."
"The tea plant is in the hands of a village called 'He Village'. The village is very wealthy and controls the channels of several caravans. We, the spotted bloodline, are able to barely control the share of this plant thanks to a caravan leader with extensive connections. Just think about it, this plant is going to be shared by the entire continent."
"How much can this strange plant produce? And how much can we get from the Shiwan Mountains?"
"The twenty-five copies this time were all grabbed by our caravan's leader himself. As for next time, I can't say for sure!"
"The only thing to be thankful for is that this strange tea plant only matures once a year. Currently, the caravan leader has already grasped all the shares of this strange plant. There should be some next year, but the difference will be more or less." The young man from the caravan was unwilling to say anything definite, and after a pause, he spoke to comfort them.
"...Hecun!" Li Hu's expression gradually relaxed after hearing this. After hearing that there will definitely be another next year, his expression turned solemn, and he engraved the word "Hecun" more deeply in his mind.
"I understand." Li Hu was of course unwilling to give up his share of the Gou Cha fruit, but even if he wanted to buy it somewhere else, by the time he arrived, the Gou Cha fruit would probably have been sold out. Li Hu still believed that there would always be other strange people who would be willing to try it. Once they tried it, they would definitely know the benefits of the Gou Cha fruit.
There was no other way. Li Hu could only discuss with the caravan members whether they could tell him a little earlier next time.
Li Hu was worried that he would miss the opportunity to sell tea and fruit when he went to the wilderness.
"Don't worry about that. Our caravan will notify you before the Goucha fruit is ripe." The caravan member smiled even more deeply. In his eyes, Li Hu was already a big customer of their caravan.
While explaining to Li Hu, the caravan members sighed in their hearts at their boss's foresight. You see, if their caravan had said it directly, these weird people would probably have thought too much, but they said nothing and just waited for the people who bought the weird food to figure it out themselves. Then wouldn't they have come to buy it without stopping?
As for notification, of course you need to notify!
When their next batch of Gou Cha Fruit comes on the market, they will definitely publicize it widely, and by then, there will naturally be some swindlers promoting it for them.
The caravan member handed the porcelain bottle containing the golden earth scale powder to Li Hu with a smile on his face, while he took the mysterious pearl without changing his expression.
Zhao Xi was also in the Qingfei caravan's base, and was curiously watching Li Hu finish his conversation with the caravan members and then leave with a disappointed expression.
Zhao Xi still believed in Li Hu. He thought that Brother Hu would not buy this kind of strange food for no reason, but he was reluctant to buy it himself. So he came to the Qingfei Caravan to see what other strange people thought of this strange food.
Zhao Xi stayed here for such a long time. He saw several people rushing over to grab the caravan members to buy strange food, or the Gou Cha Guo which sounded very deceptive. Some people left with satisfaction, while others were dejected.
Zhao Xi was frightened by what he saw and didn't dare to get close for a long time.
When Zhao Xi saw Li Hu coming over and coming out of the caravan camp, he could no longer hold back. He moved closer to Li Hu and asked cautiously, "Brother Hu, why are you here at the Qing Fei caravan? Did you find that the Gou Cha fruit is really a rip-off and came to the caravan to return the goods?"
"No, that's not possible. The Shizhu Village caravan never allows returns. Once you buy something, you have to leave. Brother Hu, you must not be upset!" A smaller voice at the side took over Zhao Xi's words.
"Yes, yes, just give the Ghost Pearl. At least the Qingfei Caravan won't sell ghost food that harms people. Brother Tiger, it's okay for us to suffer a little loss."
"Yes, yes, what the boss said is right." There was another series of echoing voices.
Wait, he didn't say anything just now?
Zhao Xi paused, and looked in the direction of the voice, and found that a group of men and women had followed him at some point. They were none other than his team members, who were now scratching the back of their heads embarrassedly and laughing.
What did he see? Zhao Xi’s face turned black.
Li Hu's face darkened as he listened to what the group of people said. He pulled Zhao Xi to a remote corner without hesitation. Behind them, a group of people followed them.
"Who told you I was here to return the goods?" Li Hu asked back.
"Brother Hu, you come here with such a strong momentum. If you are not returning the goods, what could it be?" Zhao Xi was also puzzled. When he looked at Li Hu, he wanted to stop Brother Hu and tell him not to get excited. The merchants in Shizhu Village are all very powerful.
Li Hu forgot that he came to the Qingfei caravan's base from the cave without regulating his breathing. Without regulating his breathing, his power was unstable, and outsiders could see that he looked very aggressive.
"I'm here to buy Goucha fruit?" Li Hu didn't want to explain anymore, he spoke directly.
"What, you are here to buy Goucha fruit?!" Zhao Xi was shocked.
"Why? Didn't you buy it? Why do you want to buy more?" The members of Zhao Xi's team were shocked, thinking that Li Hu was cheated by the caravan.
"It is useful. The members of the Qingfei caravan didn't explain it clearly. In addition to strengthening the physical body, the Goucha fruit has another function." Li Hu has a good relationship with Zhao Xi and doesn't mind speaking out the effects he has felt.
Of course, it is also possible that Li Hu couldn’t buy it and wanted to share his disappointment with everyone.
"What's the function?" Zhao Xi couldn't help but be curious.
"The Gou Cha fruit can increase the size of the body. No matter what level of cultivation you have, one serving can increase your size a little. I suspect you can continue to grow bigger. You just need to eat more Gou Cha fruit." Li Hu expressed his feelings succinctly.
"Really?!" Zhao Xi couldn't help but shouting, "Increase the size? Brother Hu, you are right?!"
Li Hu frowned, and Zhao Xi subconsciously covered his mouth, looking around. Every one of the people in his team, although they were all terrified, covered their mouths obediently under Li Hu's pressure.
Zhao Xi looked around and found no one around. Brother Hu was hiding very well. He then asked quietly: "Is it really increasing in size?! Brother Hu, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?!"
"Could it be that Brother Tiger, you are feeling it wrong?"
"Haven't we been searching for a long time? We still haven't found this kind of strange food. Will the Qingfei Caravan sell it? Those large forces won't rush to exchange it?!" Although Zhao Xi was surprised, questions in his heart still popped up one after another, and he couldn't stop talking.
"It has little effect, and you need to eat a lot. Also, the "He Village" that owns the tea-making plant, I guess if the plant is exchanged with a large force, it will not be qualified and will be sold at a low price. It is better to let the caravan sell it directly, and you may make more money." Li Hu said his guess, "It's a bit of both reasons."
"As for whether my perception is wrong or not, are you doubting my cultivation?"
Zhao Xi looked dazed. He certainly would not doubt Li Hu's cultivation. He also knew the benefits of becoming bigger in size. He was a physical cultivator, and his skills relied on his size to win. No one knew the benefits of being big better than him. If the Qing Fei caravan had told him earlier that the Gou Cha Fruit could increase the size of the body, he would have sold everything he had to buy it.
Zhao Xi couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he should have taken action when the caravan member asked him.
Among the crowd, there was a short weirdo with an even more dazed expression.
His last name is Yao, and his given name is Yue. This is not the point. The point is that he is a cunning warrior who cultivates flesh and blood. It is precisely because of his cultivation of flesh and blood that he has changed from an eight-foot-tall strong man to his current short stature.
Yao Yue asked Li Hu in disbelief, "Brother Hu, you are right, the Gou Cha Fruit really has the effect of increasing body size!" In essence, increasing body size means increasing blood and flesh, which is really a perfect match with his martial arts. He can think of swallowing the Gou Cha Fruit, and he will definitely be able to return to his original state.
Li Hu felt a little sorry when he saw Yao Yue's dazed look.
But Li Hu refused to give up halfway. He just nodded and said nothing. Everything was implied.
"..." Yao Yue was completely heartbroken after reading this. He cried and laughed at the same time. Did he miss out on the weird food he had always dreamed of? ? ! !
"If I had known...if I had known..." Yao Yue was crying and laughing at the same time. He couldn't speak clearly. His heart was filled with regret. When the caravan members recommended him, he stood with Zhao Xi. To be precise, he recommended them to both of them. Zhao Xi regretted it, and the regret in his heart would be several times greater than Zhao Xi's! !
Yao Yue had just finished speaking halfway when his eyes slowly turned from black to red, bright red blood flowed from his lips, and his eyes stared blankly at the sky.
"Wait, Yuezi is in a nightmare!" Zhao Xi's expression changed, and he aimed at Yao Yue's neck without hesitation. After Yao Yue was in a nightmare, he moved flexibly and avoided Zhao Xi's attack.
Li Hu was intimidating without even getting angry. He immediately attacked, directly passing through Yao Yue's evasion and fiercely suppressing his resistance. A roar like a tiger or a lion came out of his throat: "Yao Yue, wake up! Don't indulge in nightmares."
