Rise of Nongmen
Chapter 38
Ye Chen didn't understand why there were so many people crowded in the medicine garden. After asking Xiao Jinyan, he found out that the valley where the medicine garden is located has no entry but no exit. As a result, people naturally gathered more and more.
After Xiao Jinyan stopped, Ye Chen thought for a while and took out the gold yuan array, his eyes signaled Xiao Jinyan to follow, and aimed at a prohibition array that he thought was good.
Immediately, Jin Yuanli turned into a sharp blade, continuously bombarding the restraint, causing quite a commotion.
Without Ye Chen's reminder, Xiao Jinyan ordered his soldiers to form a circle to block others from prying eyes and to guard against possible dangers.
The gold element formation is not an entry-level formation, and its attack strength is not bad, at least it is more than enough to deal with monks of the current level. Even so, Ye Chen still underestimated the prohibition of the medicine garden, and blasted for three rounds, that is to say, he stopped twice halfway to restore the gold element force , only to break a restriction violently, which is many times more troublesome than the blood method.
Ye Chen himself was dissatisfied, but the others didn't even look at him in the right way. Not only the royal family, but also other powerful families who were temporarily tied together, felt jealous.
Ye Chen didn't care about others, and kept paying attention to Xiao Jinyan. Seeing that he just frowned slightly, and then kept a calm posture, without the slightest sign of blame, he immediately decided to let go of his hands and feet.
"Jinyan." Ye Chen waved at the other party, and Xiao Jinyan immediately listened to him.
"Take these two, the control method is..." Ye Chen explained in detail while taking out the gold yuan array disk from his backpack.
Xiao Jinyan took it, and looked at Ye Chen with complicated eyes, but only for a moment, and then quickly retracted, the business is important, and if there are problems, you can go back and talk about it.
Refining the gold element array not only needs to meet the standard of soul power, but also has enough gold element force to support it. Manipulation is not necessary, but if other element forces are used, the power will be reduced to varying degrees.
Xiao Jinyan's talent for water element force is extremely strong, but gold element force is only average, and there is no corresponding mental improvement, but it is enough to control the gold element array.
The other person has to choose well.
Hearing that one person was going to be selected to control the Jin Yuan Formation, the guards immediately looked at Xiao Jinyan in unison, the desire in their eyes couldn't be more obvious.
Xiao Jinyan paused, but still insisted on his original plan, and handed over the Jin Yuan Formation together with the manipulation formula to the strongest Jin Yuan power among the entourage—Qin Qian, the personal guard left behind by the Marquis of Qing'an.
Si Yan was a little bit disappointed, but soon cheered up. The young master didn't choose them, not because he didn't trust them, but because they were not capable enough. It seemed that they had to work harder in the future, otherwise the opportunity would be taken away by others even though they were close to the water.
It is difficult to refine the formation, but it is very simple to control the formation. After a little familiarization, Xiao Jinyan and Qin Qian can master it smoothly. When the three gold yuan formations are blasted together, at least three restrictions can be broken in one day.A day or two is nothing, but ten days and a half months will make a big difference. If the time is longer, the gap between them will be enough to artificially create a gap.
After bombing for three days in a row, the faces of other families turned green.
Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. If things go on like this, Xiao Jinyan's side will definitely become the target of public criticism. At that time, let alone the royal family, I'm afraid that other aristocratic families will also turn against each other.
Naturally, Xiao Jinyan would not allow this to happen. Seeing that the fire was almost ready, she took advantage of the break to negotiate with both parties.
Ye Chen didn't follow him, and he didn't know how Xiao Jinyan talked to them. He only knew that the three sides were arguing constantly, and the voice was so loud that the roar of the waterfall couldn't be covered, but it was not so clear that it was vague, just like mosquitoes. The buzzing in the ear is almost annoying.
Ye Chen immediately withdrew his attention and concentrated on restoring the energy that was almost exhausted before.After he had rested, he opened his eyes and found Xiao Jinyan sitting not far from him, obviously the negotiation had ended.
Sensing the movement around her, Xiao Jinyan turned her head to look at Ye Chen: "Half of the total is given to each family, and I only have [-]%."
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled immediately: "Do you want those in my hands?"
"En." Xiao Jinyan responded lightly, without hiding her intention at all.
"If you want it, it's not impossible, it depends on how much you can pay." Ye Chen looked interested.
"Another [-]%, once a month, take the initiative, and the deadline is one year." Xiao Jinyan said desperately.
"Twice." Ye Chen bargained.
"Just once, don't push yourself too hard." Xiao Jinyan's face was flushed slightly, but her gaze was extremely firm, obviously she would not back down easily.Taking the initiative once a month is enough to make him feel awkward, any more, I'm afraid it will affect his state of mind, besides, it's just him taking the initiative, and there is no restriction on the other party's request from him.
"Okay." Seeing that Xiao Jinyan vowed not to take another step back, Ye Chen complied regretfully.Only now did he feel that finding a firm-willed partner who could keep up with him and not be left far behind was really disappointing sometimes.But this idea just passed by in a flash. Compared with the disadvantages, he got more benefits. At least being with such a person will not be boring, it is very challenging, isn't it?
After the deal was concluded, Xiao Jinyan felt relieved, and at the same time, felt a little better about Ye Chen.Although this person always likes to challenge him to the limit of what he can endure, he can always stop his feet, but if he doesn't pass the limit, he can't feel disgusted even if he wants to.
But this also means that this person is very difficult to deal with. As long as Xiao Jinyan takes a step back, Ye Chen will definitely take a step forward, and there will never be a situation where he backs up.
Xiao Jinyan wanted to try something further, but after careful consideration, she didn't do so.
Everyone probably hasn't adapted to the new power system yet, and the medicine garden is peaceful, except for occasional quarrels, without any disputes, and they just live in peace until they are transported to the eighth floor.
If the seventh floor is only for the tester to adapt to the new ability, and the danger is not high, then the eighth floor is to kill every step of the way.Not long after leaving the teleportation point, less than half of the personnel were lost. There were various "death methods", such as being "poisoned to death" by insect stings, mistakenly falling into the formation of "thousand swords piercing the heart", and being "torn to death" by ferocious beasts. ", and even more inexplicably tricked, until he "died" and didn't know how to "die".
Ye Chen released his soul power all the way, but he avoided many dangers, but he couldn't make it to the end. So far, all the testers were wiped out.
The moment he was kicked out of the trial tower, Ye Chen recovered from his serious injuries in the blink of an eye, only the blood stains showed that he had suffered it before.
Ye Chen's attention was not on this, but he took out his backpack and looked at the results. He saw that he got a lot from the trial tower, and there was an extra piece of jade, so he couldn't help feeling better.
Ye Chen was the last one to be kicked out of the trial tower. When he was sent back to the first floor of the Chuan Gong Tower, there was nothing around him, so he naturally saw the only person in the field at a glance——Xiao Jinyan.
Without thinking about it, he knew that the other party must be waiting for him, Ye Chen's smile grew wider, and he left side by side with Xiao Jinyan.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate of Chuangong Pagoda, the world changed in an instant. He was still with Xiao Jinyan just now, but when he stepped out, Ye Chen appeared in the field. How can there be a beautiful woman by his side?
Ye Chen didn't panic, he quickly came back to his senses, and walked towards the official road where Xiao Jinyan and his party disappeared before.
As soon as he walked a few steps, the ground shook, and a tall tower rose from the ground. When Ye Chen looked back, he saw this scene, and he was horrified. Isn't this the Chuangong Pagoda?
This thing is in the world, I am afraid that there will be constant disputes.
After the trial, Ye Chen received a lot of information in his mind. There is no restriction on entering the Chuan Gong Pagoda. Anyone can, even a newborn baby, but a ticket is required - Yuan Yu.
In addition to the fact that people who enter for the first time can get at least one mental method for free, if they enter later, they have to buy it with yuan jade, and they may not get it. They have to fight against the puppet who guards the corresponding exercise. It belongs to the challenger, and if he loses, the Yuanyu spent will not be returned, and it will be even more troublesome to open the trial tower.
In a word, Chuangong Pagoda is open to anyone, as long as there is Yuanyu.
Ye Chen naturally didn't think that things would be so simple, as long as he had Yuanyu, he could enter the Chuangong Pagoda if he wanted to. People with this kind of thinking were too simple in their minds, ten to one, Chuangong Pagoda would be destroyed by someone or several people. Party forces occupy, and then collect tickets.Once you offend these people, even if you hold a pile of Yuanyu in your hand, you may not even be able to touch the door of the Chuangong Pagoda. It's better to appear randomly and irregularly, at least it is fair to everyone.
But is there fairness in this world?No, there has been a gap since birth, and hard work can make up for one or two, but if you put it together with someone who works the same hard but has a higher starting point, you can't keep up with flattery, and you can only hope for the younger generation.
What Ye Chen could think of, obviously other people could also think of it. The Chuan Gong Pagoda was so conspicuous, except for those people who left early, the rest were full of thoughts.
Xiao Jinyan immediately sent people back to Shanyuguan to mobilize the troops, and then left half of the guards at the gate of Chuangong Pagoda. The rest of the itinerary remained unchanged. After meeting Ye Chen, he went straight to Jinmin County.
Ye Chen looked around, but found no troops from Shanyuguan, and no one was sent from Qing'an Hou's Mansion. He felt a little strange. After carefully checking the information he received when he left Chuangong Pagoda, he realized that he had just passed by. more than a day.
Based on this calculation, Liu Yan should have just left Jinmin County not long ago, and he probably encountered it on the road.
Ye Chen's guess was right, halfway through the journey, he saw Liu Yan rushing towards him with a long hiss, with Ye Wu falling far behind him.
"Xiaochen, why are you so reckless? I don't know how worried the family is about you?" Ye Wu caught Ye Chen and reprimanded him as soon as he came up, how could he see Xiao Jinyan and others in his eyes?
Ye Chen smiled with a good temper. For those who really cared about him, he would naturally not show his face to them without knowing what to do.
Ye Wu is not a long-winded person. After finishing his worrying words, he stopped naturally. Only then did he realize something was wrong. He tilted his head, good guy, dozens of riders are lined up behind Ye Chen, and the most terrible thing is, Ye Chen Beside him is Xiao Jinyan.
Even Ye Wu himself couldn't figure out why he would miss such an eye-catching person.
The scene was extremely embarrassing, Ye Wu didn't have the aura of admonishing others just now, but he forced himself to calm down and kept cheering himself up in his heart. This really worked, at least he didn't lose his composure on the spot. Back performance is better.
Seeing this, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth curled up a bit. Although Ye Wu's improvement is not great, it's good to have some progress. Ye Chen really doesn't have high demands on his family in this regard.
The two knew each other, so there was no need to introduce it again. Xiao Jinyan did a good job in etiquette, and he took the initiative to say hello, and the atmosphere immediately calmed down and returned to normal soon.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group continued on their way.
When the atmosphere was just right, Liuyan started to make a fuss, hitting the horse under Ye Chen with his head from time to time, with annoyance in his eyes.
Ye Chen had no choice but to return the war horse to the entourage who lent him and replace it with Liu Yan.
When the goal was achieved, Liu Yan let out a joyful cry, turned his head and glanced at the war horse in protest, and ran forward, leaving everyone far behind, then walked slowly and waited for everyone to catch up.
The only exception is Blazing Flame, it feels that it is being provoked, how can this be tolerated!Unfortunately, Xiao Jinyan tightened the reins to prevent it from running wildly, so it had to snort in protest, but Xiao Jinyan was unmoved, and the flames had to die down.
Seeing this, Liuyan became even happier.
Ye Chen looked at all this with a smile, and didn't take any action to stop Liuyan from having fun, and it doesn't hurt to indulge once in a while, not to mention that it is a great hero this time, and it is regarded as a good reward for completing the task.
At Ye Chen's engagement banquet, one of the parties was not present at all, and the other left in public. At that time, it was widely spread, but this situation did not last long, but after only one day, a large number of missing persons in neighboring counties were reported. Overshadowed by the limelight, when Chuan Gong Pagoda appears, it will be forgotten to the back of the mind.
Now people open their mouths to pass on the pagoda, and keep their mouths closed for trials. Even a three-year-old child can say a few words. It can be said that from the imperial court to the common people, their thoughts are floating.
The upper class wants to continue to enjoy power, while the lower class people try to change their families in vain, so that they can rise to the top in one day.
The rules of the world have been broken, and it is only waiting for a new order to be recast one day.
Originally, this had little to do with Ye Chen, but who told him to fall in love with Xiao Jinyan, so he had to do his best.
But right now he has no time to pay attention to these things, the belated engagement ceremony must be made up, but the banquet will not be held, only relatives and friends are invited to come to watch the ceremony, and then a generous gift is right to make up for bothering them twice.
Looking at Xiao Jinyan, who was tall and straight in the hall, with a strong aura, and who seemed to be different from them at first glance, everyone whispered.
Those who felt the deepest belonged to the Ye family, especially the Bai family. Sitting in the hall, they were a little at a loss. They didn't know what to say except dryly saying the auspicious words specially prepared during this time, so they could only keep greeting Xiao Jinyan. Eat snacks and drink tea.
Xiao Jinyan has never seen such a passionate scene?The Ye family was uncomfortable, and he was not too bad. From time to time, he glanced at Ye Chen who was sitting on the side, hoping that he would come to the rescue.
The result was good, Ye Chenquan pretended not to see it, no, it should be said that it was more exaggerated than this, he watched it with relish, it seemed that he was happy to see Xiao Jinyan embarrassing.
The Ye family had no servants in the true sense, not counting those Zhuang Ding, so Xiao Jinyan went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, and did not let the servants serve them.At this time, he felt extremely inconvenient. With these people around, he could use their mouths to block out things he didn't want to do. Now surrounded by a group of enthusiastic relatives of her future husband, what else could Xiao Jinyan do? Never leave the tea, talk less and listen more.
The result can be imagined, when the bustle subsided, Xiao Jinyan drank a stomach full of tea and didn't say anything, her face was almost frozen with laughter.
Ye Chen had a great time watching the play, and the retribution would come immediately, no matter how much he courted that night, Xiao Jinyan just rolled up the quilt and turned his back to him, ignoring him, no matter what he tried to pull, he couldn't pull it out.
Ye Chen had no choice but to give up, and he had to bear the sins he made.He sighed inwardly, it's not good to be too familiar, no, the problem arose because of him, so he was a little bit hesitant to deal with it.
On such a beautiful day, the two of them woke up naturally after sleeping wrapped in a quilt. Whenever thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help baring his teeth.
Now that the world has changed, Xiao Jinyan doesn't have so much time to waste. He is already very responsible if he can fulfill his obligations as agreed. He really doesn't have time to exchange feelings with Ye Chen. After using Chaoshi the next day, he immediately takes people away.
Sending people out of the city, Ye Chen also became busy.
With the recovery of this world's power system, dew grass is no longer a rare item, and there is no need to avoid people. Ye Chen simply handed over the planting of dew grass to Ye Wu and Yeyou brothers, and he began to cultivate the spiritual field.
To have a spiritual field, the prerequisite is that the surroundings must be full of vitality. Obviously, the Northern Wilderness does not have this. No, it should be said that except for the place where the vision haunts, the vitality of any place in this world does not meet the requirements.
But it doesn't matter, the natural conditions are not good, it can be artificially constructed, modern times can conquer the climate on a small scale, and off-season fruits and vegetables are everywhere, and there are more ways to do it now.
Ye Chen didn't have such a sharp weapon as a large Yuan Yuan Formation in his hand, but he had a small Yuan Yuan Gathering Formation, no matter how thin the North Wilderness Yuan Qi was, it was enough to build a small low-grade spiritual field.
There are two types of formation control methods. One is like the Zhuanyuan formation, which consumes energy items such as primordial stones without any need to control after activation.
The only two formations in Ye Chen's hands happened to take up both types of control methods. The gold yuan formation uses yuan force to stimulate and maintain it, and the gathering yuan formation consumes yuan jade.
However, the metamorphic formations and the polymorphic formations are all special formations. While consuming energy, they are constantly being replenished. Under one addition and one subtraction, the energy loss is extremely small.In other words, all formations with the effect of gathering vitality are very energy-saving.
Even if this is the case, maintaining the Juyuan Formation is not a small burden for Ye Chen. Without him, the vitality content of the Yuanyu is a thousand times lower than that of the Yuanshi. Not even half a day.Of course, this is just a random example, the actual consumption is not this value, Yuanyu can last longer than this.
Considering convenience and safety, Ye Chen chose the location of Lingtian by the lake.At present, he doesn't know how to defend the formation, so he will surround it with a fence for now. As the vitality in the spiritual field gradually becomes stronger, spiritual plants can be planted.
Speaking of spiritual plants, this is really a troublesome matter. Ye Chen still doesn't know where there are low-level spiritual plants to dig. As for the elixir he brought out from the trial tower, that's all. No, if they are forced to plant, I am afraid that they will only die. They have too much demand for vitality. With the current level of vitality in the world, few places can afford it.
When mentioning this matter, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of the large Zhuanyuan formation far away in Shanyuguan.Xiao Jinyan is really lucky. If there is no source of yin energy, with the current concentration of vitality in the world, even if the Zhuanyuan formation is in hand, it will not be able to exert much effect. The potential has not been tapped.
Ye Chen thought about planting the elixir in the Zhuanyuan Formation at Shanyuguan before it completely lost its activity, but finally rejected this tempting idea.Shanyuguan is not Xiao Jinyan's back garden, so it's no problem to ask him to help, and this kind of continuous help will be avoided.
Spiritual plants cannot grow smoothly after being planted, and can be killed by artificial intervention, let alone allow them to grow freely.
Self-reliance is not advisable, and artificial care involves the above problems, so Ye Chen set his sights on the spiritual field he cultivated.
In the trial tower, Ye Chen refined three yuan-gathering arrays and three gold-yuan arrays. One of the gold-yuan arrays was given to Xiao Jinyan, and he had three yuan-gathering arrays and two gold-yuan arrays left. .
One of the gathering arrays was left for normal practice, and the other two were used by Ye Chen to cultivate the spiritual fields.In order to avoid mutual influence between the formations, Ye Chen arranged the two Yuan-gathering formations separately, one east and one west, just covering the lake, maybe one day the lake water can be used as a panacea.
Time passed day by day, looking at the empty spiritual field, Ye Chen decided not to wait any longer, and directly planted the best Japonica rice in the market, regardless of whether it is ordinary rice or spiritual grain, it will be decided after planting.
As soon as Ye Chen took care of the Lingtian, Xu Yanqing hurried over.
Ye Chen served him a cup of tea and said, "What a rare visitor, why is it so urgent that you need to go to Beihuang to find me in person?"
"High-end flame wine is slow to sell." Xu Yanqing looked solemn, he didn't care about drinking tea, and got straight to the point as soon as he sat down.
"The reason?" The smile on Ye Chen's face faded a little.
"Spiritual wine." After pondering for a moment, Xu Yanqing sighed, but in the end he only uttered these two words,
Ye Chen immediately understood the problem.
Drinking spirit wine has real benefits to the body and can improve cultivation, but flame wine does not. This is the gap.
Judging from the current situation, spirit wine is bound to be scarce, and the impact is naturally on the high-end wine market.For those people who are pampered by high positions and privileges, in order to live a few more years, it is no problem to spend a lot of money. If they have better pursuits, they will no longer look down on ordinary wine, no matter how high-quality it is, in the eyes of these people, it is nothing but in this way.
I'm afraid the outside world has gone crazy for this at this moment.
"Significantly reduce the production of high-end flame wine, and gradually reduce the production of low-end and medium-grade wine. Clear up the grain as soon as possible, as long as it can last until the summer harvest." After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen gave a suggestion.
Xu Yanqing was stunned, and asked for a while, "So serious?"
"Ah."
"That's the only way, there's no other way?" Xu Yanqing didn't give up. In this way, the winery would suffer a great loss. Before that, the winery had hoarded a large amount of food.
"The old grain must be sold as soon as possible, and when the new grain comes out, it will be fully brewed with new grain." Ye Chen insisted on this, and then asked, "Which company is selling spirit wine, do you know the source of the spirit grain?"
Xu Yanqing hesitated to speak.
Ye Chen saw his embarrassment, and took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Tell me, no matter what troubles, I can bear it."
"Ye family."
Ye Chen frowned.
Xu Yanqing added: "The head of the clan named Ye in Suifeng Village."
"what happened?"
"There's an alchemist in his family, and he hooked up with King Yu." Speaking of this, Xu Yanqing paused, and glanced at Ye Chen, "King Yu is on good terms with King Shou. King Shou is the son of Concubine Xu, and Concubine Xu is my next generation." Cousin."
When it comes to this, Xu Yanqing is also speechless.
Ye Chen even lowered his face directly.Recently, he has been busy with things, so he forgot that there is another person waiting for him to clean up. As a result, after such a delay, things changed. Sure enough, some things should not be ignored.
Thinking of going around and going around, that old guy Ye Weiting was actually involved with Xu Sanye, Ye Chen lamented that the world is impermanent, he and Xu Yanqing are really hard brothers and sisters in a sense.
Speaking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help thinking of County Magistrate Wang, but don't even think that this person is still alive and kicking, then his luck is really unlucky.
Annoyed for just a moment, Ye Chen soon looked normal. Sooner or later, spirit wine will be released, no matter who it comes from, it will have an impact on the ordinary wine market. This is a general trend, and no one can change it. What surprised him was just the identity of the other party.
"That's it, nothing else?" After clearing his mind, Ye Chen returned to the main business.
"It's gone. I only know that the spirit wine comes from Prince Yu's Mansion. As for who brewed it and where the spirit food came from, I can't find any information."
"So..." Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, and said suddenly after a while, "Take out the wine and let me have a taste."
"How do you know I have wine?" Xu Yanqing looked surprised.
"Competitors have such good resources, if you don't want to buy some bottoms, then you, the owner of the winery, can withdraw." Ye Chen took it for granted.
"Take it." Xu Yanqing reluctantly took out a small palm-sized wine jug from his carry-on luggage, pushed it in front of Ye Chen, and then complained, "This thing is good, but it's too expensive. It's so big for a jug. It only costs a hundred taels of silver, and you have to queue up to buy it, I'm afraid the Yu Palace is making money like crazy."
It is estimated that monks used methods, not to mention the special material of the small wine jar, and the seal is not mud, it really doesn't matter just by looking at the appearance.
"Twist hard." Seeing that Ye Chen hadn't moved for a long time, Xu Yanqing reminded him.
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly. He wasn't so stupid that he didn't even know how to open the wine jar. Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it on his mouth. He immediately opened the wine jar with a little force.
As soon as the lid was lifted off the mouth of the altar, the aroma of the wine overflowed instantly, which was more attractive than the most high-end wine Ye Chen had ever drunk in the last days.The moment the fragrance entered his nostrils, Ye Chen's spirits lifted, and he preliminarily judged that this wine has the effect of refreshing the mind. As for other things, you have to drink it to know.
There was no wine glass in the study, so Ye Chen simply raised the altar and was about to drink, but as soon as he moved, he was stopped by the sharp-eyed Xu Yanqing: "One half for one."
"Stingy." Ye Chen put it down reluctantly, and took an empty tea bowl. He wanted to fill it up, but Xu Yanqing was staring at him, so he couldn't do it, and only filled it half full.
The aroma of the wine was overflowing before, and the wine flowed out from the altar, and then poured into the tea bowl, the aroma was more intense, but it did not make people feel tired at all.
The wine is clear, which is two extremes with the aroma of the wine. The color and aroma are both excellent. After tasting, Ye Chen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. It is not as strong as the flame wine, nor is it different from the sweetness of other wines. What impresses him the most is that it is clean, yes, it is clean, as if it does not touch a speck of dust.
Ye Chen's feeling was right, the wine slipped into his throat, and then dispersed into his limbs and bones through blood circulation, bringing out the dirt in his body. After a while, black skin oozes faintly.
"Where is the smell coming from?" Xu Yanqing endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked directly.His friendship with Ye Chen is there, so don't be too reserved when speaking, he doesn't think it's rude to ask him this way.
"I'm going to change clothes. Excuse me." Ye Chen drank the remaining spirit wine in the tea bowl and walked away, leaving Xu Yanqing alone in a daze.
What kind of god development is this?Xu Yanqing couldn't figure it out. Looking at Ye Chen's appearance, he didn't seem to be sick. He shook his head and stood up to open the door and window to dissipate the smell in the room.When he returned to his seat and looked at the remaining spirit wine, he felt a shock for no reason, as if he ate flies after eating vegetables, and his whole body suddenly became ill.
In the end reason overcame emotion, Xu Yanqing closed his eyes, tilted his neck, poured all the spiritual wine in the bowl into his mouth, and finally smacked his lips involuntarily.
"The taste is amazing." Xu Yanqing praised sincerely. It would be even more beautiful if the wine seller was changed. Of course, it would be best if he sold it himself.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ye Chen returned after cleaning his hands. There was still moisture on his body, and his clothes had also been changed.
"What happened just now?" Xu Yanqing asked curiously.
Ye Chen pointed to the tea bowl containing the wine.
"What do you mean, don't tell me that the smell just now has something to do with this wine?"
Ye Chen nodded and broke Xu Yanqing's dream.
It's over, can we still have a good drink in the future?Xu Yanqing sighed in his heart.
"This wine cleared some of the filth in my body, didn't you?" Although Ye Chen was asking, his tone was extremely firm, obviously he had obtained the result from Xu Yanqing's performance.
As expected, Xu Yanqing did not experience such abnormalities after drinking.
"Physical problems." Seeing Xu Yanqing's shining eyes, Ye Chen explained.
Xu Yanqing is just an ordinary person at the moment, and he doesn't know much about things related to cultivation. Ye Chen said so, and he listened to it, and the matter was revealed, and he returned to the topic.
Ye Chen's previous proposal was equivalent to a strong man breaking his wrist, the loss cannot be recovered, and it won't be long before the high income of Flame Wine will no longer exist.
Xu Yanqing came here in a hurry, naturally not just to ask Ye Chen for advice on this, but to focus on spiritual wine and spiritual food, to see if he can get it.
Xu Yanqing also had no choice. No one in the Xu family could catch up with the Chuan Gong Pagoda's first appearance, and it would be difficult to get in. Not only did he have to get enough yuan jade, but he also had to have connections.
The latter is easy to say, Ye Chen should be able to help, but Xu Yanqing heard that his family led the Zhenbei Army to occupy the largest share, the key is how to get Yuanyu.The current situation is that no one is selling money, at least in Jinmin County, and the distance from other state capitals is too far, and the news will not be transmitted in a while, and he doesn't know what the situation is. The person who can be caught is self-evident, who else can be besides Ye Chen.
Knowing the main purpose of Xu Yanqing's trip, Ye Chen closed his eyes and pondered, and said for a long time: "I don't have spiritual wine and spiritual food, how about this, you go to collect jade, don't want finished products, and don't want too high-quality ones, only jade materials. The more the better, the new ones are given priority.”
Xu Yanqing: "..."
"I'll exchange yuan jade with you for jade materials. It's worth 500 taels of jade for one yuan jade. Do you want to exchange it?" Ye Chen no longer whetted his appetite, but as soon as he said it, Xu Yanqing was stunned.
"You have Yuanyu, and there are many more?" Xu Yan stood up vigorously, with an excited expression.
"Ah."
"I'll collect it right away." After saying this, Xu Yanqing rushed out of the study, obviously he was so anxious that he couldn't even wait a day.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that in today's world, the strength of the individual and even the family is the guarantee of survival, and everything else is empty, and it is easier to collapse than before.The Xu family's East Mansion has been silent for too long, now there is an opportunity for the family to rise again, and Xu Yanqing must seize it tightly.
Xu Yanqing didn't ask Ye Chen where so much jade came from, as long as he knew the result.
Ye Chen was not surprised at Xu Yanqing's reaction. The other party suppressed it for too long. If he saw hope and didn't know how to grab it, then the Xu family should really fall.
As soon as the person left, Ye Chen began to think about what happened to the strange phenomenon he had when he drank the spirit wine before. It couldn't be as he casually prevaricated Xu Yanqing, right?
Speaking of filth, Ye Chen thought of his long-term yin qi passing through his body. Could it be that he hasn't cleaned it up all the time, and there are still residues in his body?But he felt no discomfort.
I can't figure it out for the time being, Ye Chen didn't kowtow on it, and explained a few words to his two cousins, and then started to pack his luggage.
In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Ye Chen rode Liu Yan straight to the Chuan Gong Pagoda.He took a shortcut and didn't pass through Jinmin County, so he didn't enter the house.
The Chuangong Pagoda appeared on the field next to the Yuanhe County Official Road. When Ye Chen arrived, martial law had already been imposed there.
At a rough glance, there are several troops alone, the most striking of which is the Zhenbei Army, which occupies an absolute advantage.The rest are local defenders. In addition to the local Yuanhe County, there are also superior state cities and superior Zhenbei Prefecture defenders.These three are all local troops, and they are not at the same level as the Zhenbei Army. With real swords and guns, none of them can hold the Zhenbei Army.
However, it can be resolved peacefully at a relatively small price. No one wants to start a war. Xiao Jinyan is very wise to do so.
In addition to the troops, there were also government servants who helped maintain order. Obviously, the Yuanhe county government also had a hand in it, but no manpower came from the state government government.
This is not difficult to understand. As long as the reason is suitable, the local troops can be transferred arbitrarily within the garrison. It is indeed a bit unreasonable to send yamen servants from the higher-level state government.
Ye Chen looked around and didn't find Xiao Jinyan, so he didn't look for it deliberately, he took out the military division badge, and found the person in charge of the Zhenbei Army to hand it over. After verifying that it was correct, he immediately started talking to him.
Soon, Ye Chen learned the news he wanted to know. The fee charged by Chuan Gong Pagoda was ten yuan jade per person, only for one floor, but the actual entrance fee was 15 yuan jade per person. It was entered into the accounts of troops and yamen at all levels.
In this regard, Ye Chen not only did not feel that these people had dark hearts, but felt that they were quite benevolent.You must know that the profit he earned from Xu Yanqing was as high as half, which was exactly the same as the income earned by the army. This is still a friendship price, and he would only charge higher fees if he came to the door through various relationships.
Of course, this price is only for the general public, and the related households have to lower it a few more levels. As Ye Chen's military adviser, he can help people talk about things, and he can get the price of 12 yuan jade per person. Xiao Jinyan came here in person. Needless to say, it is only Charge the cost.
"Is Lieutenant Xiao here?" After inquiring about the Chuangong Pagoda, Ye Chen asked about Xiao Jinyan's whereabouts.
"No, General Xiao is going to inspect other passes."
"General Xiao? When did you become a general?"
"It's been a while." Speaking of this, the person in charge of the Zhenbei Army paused, and then reminded in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, I said you can't do this, you have to be more careful, and you can't leave General Xiao behind." Whether you hear it or not..."
Ye Chen has black lines on his face. This person is too enthusiastic, like the aunt of the neighborhood committee, but this is indeed a problem. The next time he sees Xiao Jinyan, he has to tell him that if something important happens, he must be notified. I don't know how people will see it.
Originally, Ye Chen only planned to inquire about the news, but found that the entrance fee of Chuan Gong Pagoda was not outrageous, so he thought about entering again, and immediately asked: "I don't need to charge more to enter, right?"
"No, no, no extra money for my own people."
Ye Chen pretended to take something from his rucksack, but actually took out ten pieces of Yuanyu from the Lucky Mall and stuffed them into the mouth of the dragon-shaped stone carving at the gate of Chuangong Pagoda.
This time the door was not opened, and Ye Chen was directly teleported into the first floor of the tower.The situation inside is exactly the same as before. Rows of bookshelves go straight into the dome, and it is easy for people to feel small when standing among them.
Ye Chen was thinking about the talent test items in his mind, and a guidepost immediately appeared in front of his eyes. Even so, it took him a while to reach the target bookshelf, the first floor of the Gongpa Tower is too big.
Entering the Chuan Gong Pagoda twice, the deepest feeling for Ye Chen is the word "many". No matter what kind of items, there are dozens of them at least, and hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of them. It is easy to pick flowers. Yep, now he ran into this trouble.
Ye Chen had no choice but to choose based on his feelings. Of course, the price must also be considered. He can't afford the one that is too expensive. Don't spend a lot of money, but the challenge fails. The loss is simply immeasurable. At present, he does not have the capital to squander.
It's a pity that the Chuan Gong Pagoda is good, but there are too many restrictions, not to mention challenges, the most terrible thing is that you can only take away one item at a time, no matter whether it is expensive or cheap, you can't regret the choice.In addition, within one year, ten yuan jade is charged for the first entry, the price will increase ten times the second time, and ten times the third time, and so on, until the time of one year is up, and the counting will be repeated.
After deliberating for a long time, Ye Chen finally chose a talent test formation, middle grade, and before he got the item, the 1000 yuan jade disappeared without a trace.
After Xiao Jinyan stopped, Ye Chen thought for a while and took out the gold yuan array, his eyes signaled Xiao Jinyan to follow, and aimed at a prohibition array that he thought was good.
Immediately, Jin Yuanli turned into a sharp blade, continuously bombarding the restraint, causing quite a commotion.
Without Ye Chen's reminder, Xiao Jinyan ordered his soldiers to form a circle to block others from prying eyes and to guard against possible dangers.
The gold element formation is not an entry-level formation, and its attack strength is not bad, at least it is more than enough to deal with monks of the current level. Even so, Ye Chen still underestimated the prohibition of the medicine garden, and blasted for three rounds, that is to say, he stopped twice halfway to restore the gold element force , only to break a restriction violently, which is many times more troublesome than the blood method.
Ye Chen himself was dissatisfied, but the others didn't even look at him in the right way. Not only the royal family, but also other powerful families who were temporarily tied together, felt jealous.
Ye Chen didn't care about others, and kept paying attention to Xiao Jinyan. Seeing that he just frowned slightly, and then kept a calm posture, without the slightest sign of blame, he immediately decided to let go of his hands and feet.
"Jinyan." Ye Chen waved at the other party, and Xiao Jinyan immediately listened to him.
"Take these two, the control method is..." Ye Chen explained in detail while taking out the gold yuan array disk from his backpack.
Xiao Jinyan took it, and looked at Ye Chen with complicated eyes, but only for a moment, and then quickly retracted, the business is important, and if there are problems, you can go back and talk about it.
Refining the gold element array not only needs to meet the standard of soul power, but also has enough gold element force to support it. Manipulation is not necessary, but if other element forces are used, the power will be reduced to varying degrees.
Xiao Jinyan's talent for water element force is extremely strong, but gold element force is only average, and there is no corresponding mental improvement, but it is enough to control the gold element array.
The other person has to choose well.
Hearing that one person was going to be selected to control the Jin Yuan Formation, the guards immediately looked at Xiao Jinyan in unison, the desire in their eyes couldn't be more obvious.
Xiao Jinyan paused, but still insisted on his original plan, and handed over the Jin Yuan Formation together with the manipulation formula to the strongest Jin Yuan power among the entourage—Qin Qian, the personal guard left behind by the Marquis of Qing'an.
Si Yan was a little bit disappointed, but soon cheered up. The young master didn't choose them, not because he didn't trust them, but because they were not capable enough. It seemed that they had to work harder in the future, otherwise the opportunity would be taken away by others even though they were close to the water.
It is difficult to refine the formation, but it is very simple to control the formation. After a little familiarization, Xiao Jinyan and Qin Qian can master it smoothly. When the three gold yuan formations are blasted together, at least three restrictions can be broken in one day.A day or two is nothing, but ten days and a half months will make a big difference. If the time is longer, the gap between them will be enough to artificially create a gap.
After bombing for three days in a row, the faces of other families turned green.
Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. If things go on like this, Xiao Jinyan's side will definitely become the target of public criticism. At that time, let alone the royal family, I'm afraid that other aristocratic families will also turn against each other.
Naturally, Xiao Jinyan would not allow this to happen. Seeing that the fire was almost ready, she took advantage of the break to negotiate with both parties.
Ye Chen didn't follow him, and he didn't know how Xiao Jinyan talked to them. He only knew that the three sides were arguing constantly, and the voice was so loud that the roar of the waterfall couldn't be covered, but it was not so clear that it was vague, just like mosquitoes. The buzzing in the ear is almost annoying.
Ye Chen immediately withdrew his attention and concentrated on restoring the energy that was almost exhausted before.After he had rested, he opened his eyes and found Xiao Jinyan sitting not far from him, obviously the negotiation had ended.
Sensing the movement around her, Xiao Jinyan turned her head to look at Ye Chen: "Half of the total is given to each family, and I only have [-]%."
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled immediately: "Do you want those in my hands?"
"En." Xiao Jinyan responded lightly, without hiding her intention at all.
"If you want it, it's not impossible, it depends on how much you can pay." Ye Chen looked interested.
"Another [-]%, once a month, take the initiative, and the deadline is one year." Xiao Jinyan said desperately.
"Twice." Ye Chen bargained.
"Just once, don't push yourself too hard." Xiao Jinyan's face was flushed slightly, but her gaze was extremely firm, obviously she would not back down easily.Taking the initiative once a month is enough to make him feel awkward, any more, I'm afraid it will affect his state of mind, besides, it's just him taking the initiative, and there is no restriction on the other party's request from him.
"Okay." Seeing that Xiao Jinyan vowed not to take another step back, Ye Chen complied regretfully.Only now did he feel that finding a firm-willed partner who could keep up with him and not be left far behind was really disappointing sometimes.But this idea just passed by in a flash. Compared with the disadvantages, he got more benefits. At least being with such a person will not be boring, it is very challenging, isn't it?
After the deal was concluded, Xiao Jinyan felt relieved, and at the same time, felt a little better about Ye Chen.Although this person always likes to challenge him to the limit of what he can endure, he can always stop his feet, but if he doesn't pass the limit, he can't feel disgusted even if he wants to.
But this also means that this person is very difficult to deal with. As long as Xiao Jinyan takes a step back, Ye Chen will definitely take a step forward, and there will never be a situation where he backs up.
Xiao Jinyan wanted to try something further, but after careful consideration, she didn't do so.
Everyone probably hasn't adapted to the new power system yet, and the medicine garden is peaceful, except for occasional quarrels, without any disputes, and they just live in peace until they are transported to the eighth floor.
If the seventh floor is only for the tester to adapt to the new ability, and the danger is not high, then the eighth floor is to kill every step of the way.Not long after leaving the teleportation point, less than half of the personnel were lost. There were various "death methods", such as being "poisoned to death" by insect stings, mistakenly falling into the formation of "thousand swords piercing the heart", and being "torn to death" by ferocious beasts. ", and even more inexplicably tricked, until he "died" and didn't know how to "die".
Ye Chen released his soul power all the way, but he avoided many dangers, but he couldn't make it to the end. So far, all the testers were wiped out.
The moment he was kicked out of the trial tower, Ye Chen recovered from his serious injuries in the blink of an eye, only the blood stains showed that he had suffered it before.
Ye Chen's attention was not on this, but he took out his backpack and looked at the results. He saw that he got a lot from the trial tower, and there was an extra piece of jade, so he couldn't help feeling better.
Ye Chen was the last one to be kicked out of the trial tower. When he was sent back to the first floor of the Chuan Gong Tower, there was nothing around him, so he naturally saw the only person in the field at a glance——Xiao Jinyan.
Without thinking about it, he knew that the other party must be waiting for him, Ye Chen's smile grew wider, and he left side by side with Xiao Jinyan.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate of Chuangong Pagoda, the world changed in an instant. He was still with Xiao Jinyan just now, but when he stepped out, Ye Chen appeared in the field. How can there be a beautiful woman by his side?
Ye Chen didn't panic, he quickly came back to his senses, and walked towards the official road where Xiao Jinyan and his party disappeared before.
As soon as he walked a few steps, the ground shook, and a tall tower rose from the ground. When Ye Chen looked back, he saw this scene, and he was horrified. Isn't this the Chuangong Pagoda?
This thing is in the world, I am afraid that there will be constant disputes.
After the trial, Ye Chen received a lot of information in his mind. There is no restriction on entering the Chuan Gong Pagoda. Anyone can, even a newborn baby, but a ticket is required - Yuan Yu.
In addition to the fact that people who enter for the first time can get at least one mental method for free, if they enter later, they have to buy it with yuan jade, and they may not get it. They have to fight against the puppet who guards the corresponding exercise. It belongs to the challenger, and if he loses, the Yuanyu spent will not be returned, and it will be even more troublesome to open the trial tower.
In a word, Chuangong Pagoda is open to anyone, as long as there is Yuanyu.
Ye Chen naturally didn't think that things would be so simple, as long as he had Yuanyu, he could enter the Chuangong Pagoda if he wanted to. People with this kind of thinking were too simple in their minds, ten to one, Chuangong Pagoda would be destroyed by someone or several people. Party forces occupy, and then collect tickets.Once you offend these people, even if you hold a pile of Yuanyu in your hand, you may not even be able to touch the door of the Chuangong Pagoda. It's better to appear randomly and irregularly, at least it is fair to everyone.
But is there fairness in this world?No, there has been a gap since birth, and hard work can make up for one or two, but if you put it together with someone who works the same hard but has a higher starting point, you can't keep up with flattery, and you can only hope for the younger generation.
What Ye Chen could think of, obviously other people could also think of it. The Chuan Gong Pagoda was so conspicuous, except for those people who left early, the rest were full of thoughts.
Xiao Jinyan immediately sent people back to Shanyuguan to mobilize the troops, and then left half of the guards at the gate of Chuangong Pagoda. The rest of the itinerary remained unchanged. After meeting Ye Chen, he went straight to Jinmin County.
Ye Chen looked around, but found no troops from Shanyuguan, and no one was sent from Qing'an Hou's Mansion. He felt a little strange. After carefully checking the information he received when he left Chuangong Pagoda, he realized that he had just passed by. more than a day.
Based on this calculation, Liu Yan should have just left Jinmin County not long ago, and he probably encountered it on the road.
Ye Chen's guess was right, halfway through the journey, he saw Liu Yan rushing towards him with a long hiss, with Ye Wu falling far behind him.
"Xiaochen, why are you so reckless? I don't know how worried the family is about you?" Ye Wu caught Ye Chen and reprimanded him as soon as he came up, how could he see Xiao Jinyan and others in his eyes?
Ye Chen smiled with a good temper. For those who really cared about him, he would naturally not show his face to them without knowing what to do.
Ye Wu is not a long-winded person. After finishing his worrying words, he stopped naturally. Only then did he realize something was wrong. He tilted his head, good guy, dozens of riders are lined up behind Ye Chen, and the most terrible thing is, Ye Chen Beside him is Xiao Jinyan.
Even Ye Wu himself couldn't figure out why he would miss such an eye-catching person.
The scene was extremely embarrassing, Ye Wu didn't have the aura of admonishing others just now, but he forced himself to calm down and kept cheering himself up in his heart. This really worked, at least he didn't lose his composure on the spot. Back performance is better.
Seeing this, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth curled up a bit. Although Ye Wu's improvement is not great, it's good to have some progress. Ye Chen really doesn't have high demands on his family in this regard.
The two knew each other, so there was no need to introduce it again. Xiao Jinyan did a good job in etiquette, and he took the initiative to say hello, and the atmosphere immediately calmed down and returned to normal soon.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group continued on their way.
When the atmosphere was just right, Liuyan started to make a fuss, hitting the horse under Ye Chen with his head from time to time, with annoyance in his eyes.
Ye Chen had no choice but to return the war horse to the entourage who lent him and replace it with Liu Yan.
When the goal was achieved, Liu Yan let out a joyful cry, turned his head and glanced at the war horse in protest, and ran forward, leaving everyone far behind, then walked slowly and waited for everyone to catch up.
The only exception is Blazing Flame, it feels that it is being provoked, how can this be tolerated!Unfortunately, Xiao Jinyan tightened the reins to prevent it from running wildly, so it had to snort in protest, but Xiao Jinyan was unmoved, and the flames had to die down.
Seeing this, Liuyan became even happier.
Ye Chen looked at all this with a smile, and didn't take any action to stop Liuyan from having fun, and it doesn't hurt to indulge once in a while, not to mention that it is a great hero this time, and it is regarded as a good reward for completing the task.
At Ye Chen's engagement banquet, one of the parties was not present at all, and the other left in public. At that time, it was widely spread, but this situation did not last long, but after only one day, a large number of missing persons in neighboring counties were reported. Overshadowed by the limelight, when Chuan Gong Pagoda appears, it will be forgotten to the back of the mind.
Now people open their mouths to pass on the pagoda, and keep their mouths closed for trials. Even a three-year-old child can say a few words. It can be said that from the imperial court to the common people, their thoughts are floating.
The upper class wants to continue to enjoy power, while the lower class people try to change their families in vain, so that they can rise to the top in one day.
The rules of the world have been broken, and it is only waiting for a new order to be recast one day.
Originally, this had little to do with Ye Chen, but who told him to fall in love with Xiao Jinyan, so he had to do his best.
But right now he has no time to pay attention to these things, the belated engagement ceremony must be made up, but the banquet will not be held, only relatives and friends are invited to come to watch the ceremony, and then a generous gift is right to make up for bothering them twice.
Looking at Xiao Jinyan, who was tall and straight in the hall, with a strong aura, and who seemed to be different from them at first glance, everyone whispered.
Those who felt the deepest belonged to the Ye family, especially the Bai family. Sitting in the hall, they were a little at a loss. They didn't know what to say except dryly saying the auspicious words specially prepared during this time, so they could only keep greeting Xiao Jinyan. Eat snacks and drink tea.
Xiao Jinyan has never seen such a passionate scene?The Ye family was uncomfortable, and he was not too bad. From time to time, he glanced at Ye Chen who was sitting on the side, hoping that he would come to the rescue.
The result was good, Ye Chenquan pretended not to see it, no, it should be said that it was more exaggerated than this, he watched it with relish, it seemed that he was happy to see Xiao Jinyan embarrassing.
The Ye family had no servants in the true sense, not counting those Zhuang Ding, so Xiao Jinyan went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, and did not let the servants serve them.At this time, he felt extremely inconvenient. With these people around, he could use their mouths to block out things he didn't want to do. Now surrounded by a group of enthusiastic relatives of her future husband, what else could Xiao Jinyan do? Never leave the tea, talk less and listen more.
The result can be imagined, when the bustle subsided, Xiao Jinyan drank a stomach full of tea and didn't say anything, her face was almost frozen with laughter.
Ye Chen had a great time watching the play, and the retribution would come immediately, no matter how much he courted that night, Xiao Jinyan just rolled up the quilt and turned his back to him, ignoring him, no matter what he tried to pull, he couldn't pull it out.
Ye Chen had no choice but to give up, and he had to bear the sins he made.He sighed inwardly, it's not good to be too familiar, no, the problem arose because of him, so he was a little bit hesitant to deal with it.
On such a beautiful day, the two of them woke up naturally after sleeping wrapped in a quilt. Whenever thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help baring his teeth.
Now that the world has changed, Xiao Jinyan doesn't have so much time to waste. He is already very responsible if he can fulfill his obligations as agreed. He really doesn't have time to exchange feelings with Ye Chen. After using Chaoshi the next day, he immediately takes people away.
Sending people out of the city, Ye Chen also became busy.
With the recovery of this world's power system, dew grass is no longer a rare item, and there is no need to avoid people. Ye Chen simply handed over the planting of dew grass to Ye Wu and Yeyou brothers, and he began to cultivate the spiritual field.
To have a spiritual field, the prerequisite is that the surroundings must be full of vitality. Obviously, the Northern Wilderness does not have this. No, it should be said that except for the place where the vision haunts, the vitality of any place in this world does not meet the requirements.
But it doesn't matter, the natural conditions are not good, it can be artificially constructed, modern times can conquer the climate on a small scale, and off-season fruits and vegetables are everywhere, and there are more ways to do it now.
Ye Chen didn't have such a sharp weapon as a large Yuan Yuan Formation in his hand, but he had a small Yuan Yuan Gathering Formation, no matter how thin the North Wilderness Yuan Qi was, it was enough to build a small low-grade spiritual field.
There are two types of formation control methods. One is like the Zhuanyuan formation, which consumes energy items such as primordial stones without any need to control after activation.
The only two formations in Ye Chen's hands happened to take up both types of control methods. The gold yuan formation uses yuan force to stimulate and maintain it, and the gathering yuan formation consumes yuan jade.
However, the metamorphic formations and the polymorphic formations are all special formations. While consuming energy, they are constantly being replenished. Under one addition and one subtraction, the energy loss is extremely small.In other words, all formations with the effect of gathering vitality are very energy-saving.
Even if this is the case, maintaining the Juyuan Formation is not a small burden for Ye Chen. Without him, the vitality content of the Yuanyu is a thousand times lower than that of the Yuanshi. Not even half a day.Of course, this is just a random example, the actual consumption is not this value, Yuanyu can last longer than this.
Considering convenience and safety, Ye Chen chose the location of Lingtian by the lake.At present, he doesn't know how to defend the formation, so he will surround it with a fence for now. As the vitality in the spiritual field gradually becomes stronger, spiritual plants can be planted.
Speaking of spiritual plants, this is really a troublesome matter. Ye Chen still doesn't know where there are low-level spiritual plants to dig. As for the elixir he brought out from the trial tower, that's all. No, if they are forced to plant, I am afraid that they will only die. They have too much demand for vitality. With the current level of vitality in the world, few places can afford it.
When mentioning this matter, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of the large Zhuanyuan formation far away in Shanyuguan.Xiao Jinyan is really lucky. If there is no source of yin energy, with the current concentration of vitality in the world, even if the Zhuanyuan formation is in hand, it will not be able to exert much effect. The potential has not been tapped.
Ye Chen thought about planting the elixir in the Zhuanyuan Formation at Shanyuguan before it completely lost its activity, but finally rejected this tempting idea.Shanyuguan is not Xiao Jinyan's back garden, so it's no problem to ask him to help, and this kind of continuous help will be avoided.
Spiritual plants cannot grow smoothly after being planted, and can be killed by artificial intervention, let alone allow them to grow freely.
Self-reliance is not advisable, and artificial care involves the above problems, so Ye Chen set his sights on the spiritual field he cultivated.
In the trial tower, Ye Chen refined three yuan-gathering arrays and three gold-yuan arrays. One of the gold-yuan arrays was given to Xiao Jinyan, and he had three yuan-gathering arrays and two gold-yuan arrays left. .
One of the gathering arrays was left for normal practice, and the other two were used by Ye Chen to cultivate the spiritual fields.In order to avoid mutual influence between the formations, Ye Chen arranged the two Yuan-gathering formations separately, one east and one west, just covering the lake, maybe one day the lake water can be used as a panacea.
Time passed day by day, looking at the empty spiritual field, Ye Chen decided not to wait any longer, and directly planted the best Japonica rice in the market, regardless of whether it is ordinary rice or spiritual grain, it will be decided after planting.
As soon as Ye Chen took care of the Lingtian, Xu Yanqing hurried over.
Ye Chen served him a cup of tea and said, "What a rare visitor, why is it so urgent that you need to go to Beihuang to find me in person?"
"High-end flame wine is slow to sell." Xu Yanqing looked solemn, he didn't care about drinking tea, and got straight to the point as soon as he sat down.
"The reason?" The smile on Ye Chen's face faded a little.
"Spiritual wine." After pondering for a moment, Xu Yanqing sighed, but in the end he only uttered these two words,
Ye Chen immediately understood the problem.
Drinking spirit wine has real benefits to the body and can improve cultivation, but flame wine does not. This is the gap.
Judging from the current situation, spirit wine is bound to be scarce, and the impact is naturally on the high-end wine market.For those people who are pampered by high positions and privileges, in order to live a few more years, it is no problem to spend a lot of money. If they have better pursuits, they will no longer look down on ordinary wine, no matter how high-quality it is, in the eyes of these people, it is nothing but in this way.
I'm afraid the outside world has gone crazy for this at this moment.
"Significantly reduce the production of high-end flame wine, and gradually reduce the production of low-end and medium-grade wine. Clear up the grain as soon as possible, as long as it can last until the summer harvest." After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen gave a suggestion.
Xu Yanqing was stunned, and asked for a while, "So serious?"
"Ah."
"That's the only way, there's no other way?" Xu Yanqing didn't give up. In this way, the winery would suffer a great loss. Before that, the winery had hoarded a large amount of food.
"The old grain must be sold as soon as possible, and when the new grain comes out, it will be fully brewed with new grain." Ye Chen insisted on this, and then asked, "Which company is selling spirit wine, do you know the source of the spirit grain?"
Xu Yanqing hesitated to speak.
Ye Chen saw his embarrassment, and took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Tell me, no matter what troubles, I can bear it."
"Ye family."
Ye Chen frowned.
Xu Yanqing added: "The head of the clan named Ye in Suifeng Village."
"what happened?"
"There's an alchemist in his family, and he hooked up with King Yu." Speaking of this, Xu Yanqing paused, and glanced at Ye Chen, "King Yu is on good terms with King Shou. King Shou is the son of Concubine Xu, and Concubine Xu is my next generation." Cousin."
When it comes to this, Xu Yanqing is also speechless.
Ye Chen even lowered his face directly.Recently, he has been busy with things, so he forgot that there is another person waiting for him to clean up. As a result, after such a delay, things changed. Sure enough, some things should not be ignored.
Thinking of going around and going around, that old guy Ye Weiting was actually involved with Xu Sanye, Ye Chen lamented that the world is impermanent, he and Xu Yanqing are really hard brothers and sisters in a sense.
Speaking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help thinking of County Magistrate Wang, but don't even think that this person is still alive and kicking, then his luck is really unlucky.
Annoyed for just a moment, Ye Chen soon looked normal. Sooner or later, spirit wine will be released, no matter who it comes from, it will have an impact on the ordinary wine market. This is a general trend, and no one can change it. What surprised him was just the identity of the other party.
"That's it, nothing else?" After clearing his mind, Ye Chen returned to the main business.
"It's gone. I only know that the spirit wine comes from Prince Yu's Mansion. As for who brewed it and where the spirit food came from, I can't find any information."
"So..." Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, and said suddenly after a while, "Take out the wine and let me have a taste."
"How do you know I have wine?" Xu Yanqing looked surprised.
"Competitors have such good resources, if you don't want to buy some bottoms, then you, the owner of the winery, can withdraw." Ye Chen took it for granted.
"Take it." Xu Yanqing reluctantly took out a small palm-sized wine jug from his carry-on luggage, pushed it in front of Ye Chen, and then complained, "This thing is good, but it's too expensive. It's so big for a jug. It only costs a hundred taels of silver, and you have to queue up to buy it, I'm afraid the Yu Palace is making money like crazy."
It is estimated that monks used methods, not to mention the special material of the small wine jar, and the seal is not mud, it really doesn't matter just by looking at the appearance.
"Twist hard." Seeing that Ye Chen hadn't moved for a long time, Xu Yanqing reminded him.
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly. He wasn't so stupid that he didn't even know how to open the wine jar. Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it on his mouth. He immediately opened the wine jar with a little force.
As soon as the lid was lifted off the mouth of the altar, the aroma of the wine overflowed instantly, which was more attractive than the most high-end wine Ye Chen had ever drunk in the last days.The moment the fragrance entered his nostrils, Ye Chen's spirits lifted, and he preliminarily judged that this wine has the effect of refreshing the mind. As for other things, you have to drink it to know.
There was no wine glass in the study, so Ye Chen simply raised the altar and was about to drink, but as soon as he moved, he was stopped by the sharp-eyed Xu Yanqing: "One half for one."
"Stingy." Ye Chen put it down reluctantly, and took an empty tea bowl. He wanted to fill it up, but Xu Yanqing was staring at him, so he couldn't do it, and only filled it half full.
The aroma of the wine was overflowing before, and the wine flowed out from the altar, and then poured into the tea bowl, the aroma was more intense, but it did not make people feel tired at all.
The wine is clear, which is two extremes with the aroma of the wine. The color and aroma are both excellent. After tasting, Ye Chen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. It is not as strong as the flame wine, nor is it different from the sweetness of other wines. What impresses him the most is that it is clean, yes, it is clean, as if it does not touch a speck of dust.
Ye Chen's feeling was right, the wine slipped into his throat, and then dispersed into his limbs and bones through blood circulation, bringing out the dirt in his body. After a while, black skin oozes faintly.
"Where is the smell coming from?" Xu Yanqing endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked directly.His friendship with Ye Chen is there, so don't be too reserved when speaking, he doesn't think it's rude to ask him this way.
"I'm going to change clothes. Excuse me." Ye Chen drank the remaining spirit wine in the tea bowl and walked away, leaving Xu Yanqing alone in a daze.
What kind of god development is this?Xu Yanqing couldn't figure it out. Looking at Ye Chen's appearance, he didn't seem to be sick. He shook his head and stood up to open the door and window to dissipate the smell in the room.When he returned to his seat and looked at the remaining spirit wine, he felt a shock for no reason, as if he ate flies after eating vegetables, and his whole body suddenly became ill.
In the end reason overcame emotion, Xu Yanqing closed his eyes, tilted his neck, poured all the spiritual wine in the bowl into his mouth, and finally smacked his lips involuntarily.
"The taste is amazing." Xu Yanqing praised sincerely. It would be even more beautiful if the wine seller was changed. Of course, it would be best if he sold it himself.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ye Chen returned after cleaning his hands. There was still moisture on his body, and his clothes had also been changed.
"What happened just now?" Xu Yanqing asked curiously.
Ye Chen pointed to the tea bowl containing the wine.
"What do you mean, don't tell me that the smell just now has something to do with this wine?"
Ye Chen nodded and broke Xu Yanqing's dream.
It's over, can we still have a good drink in the future?Xu Yanqing sighed in his heart.
"This wine cleared some of the filth in my body, didn't you?" Although Ye Chen was asking, his tone was extremely firm, obviously he had obtained the result from Xu Yanqing's performance.
As expected, Xu Yanqing did not experience such abnormalities after drinking.
"Physical problems." Seeing Xu Yanqing's shining eyes, Ye Chen explained.
Xu Yanqing is just an ordinary person at the moment, and he doesn't know much about things related to cultivation. Ye Chen said so, and he listened to it, and the matter was revealed, and he returned to the topic.
Ye Chen's previous proposal was equivalent to a strong man breaking his wrist, the loss cannot be recovered, and it won't be long before the high income of Flame Wine will no longer exist.
Xu Yanqing came here in a hurry, naturally not just to ask Ye Chen for advice on this, but to focus on spiritual wine and spiritual food, to see if he can get it.
Xu Yanqing also had no choice. No one in the Xu family could catch up with the Chuan Gong Pagoda's first appearance, and it would be difficult to get in. Not only did he have to get enough yuan jade, but he also had to have connections.
The latter is easy to say, Ye Chen should be able to help, but Xu Yanqing heard that his family led the Zhenbei Army to occupy the largest share, the key is how to get Yuanyu.The current situation is that no one is selling money, at least in Jinmin County, and the distance from other state capitals is too far, and the news will not be transmitted in a while, and he doesn't know what the situation is. The person who can be caught is self-evident, who else can be besides Ye Chen.
Knowing the main purpose of Xu Yanqing's trip, Ye Chen closed his eyes and pondered, and said for a long time: "I don't have spiritual wine and spiritual food, how about this, you go to collect jade, don't want finished products, and don't want too high-quality ones, only jade materials. The more the better, the new ones are given priority.”
Xu Yanqing: "..."
"I'll exchange yuan jade with you for jade materials. It's worth 500 taels of jade for one yuan jade. Do you want to exchange it?" Ye Chen no longer whetted his appetite, but as soon as he said it, Xu Yanqing was stunned.
"You have Yuanyu, and there are many more?" Xu Yan stood up vigorously, with an excited expression.
"Ah."
"I'll collect it right away." After saying this, Xu Yanqing rushed out of the study, obviously he was so anxious that he couldn't even wait a day.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that in today's world, the strength of the individual and even the family is the guarantee of survival, and everything else is empty, and it is easier to collapse than before.The Xu family's East Mansion has been silent for too long, now there is an opportunity for the family to rise again, and Xu Yanqing must seize it tightly.
Xu Yanqing didn't ask Ye Chen where so much jade came from, as long as he knew the result.
Ye Chen was not surprised at Xu Yanqing's reaction. The other party suppressed it for too long. If he saw hope and didn't know how to grab it, then the Xu family should really fall.
As soon as the person left, Ye Chen began to think about what happened to the strange phenomenon he had when he drank the spirit wine before. It couldn't be as he casually prevaricated Xu Yanqing, right?
Speaking of filth, Ye Chen thought of his long-term yin qi passing through his body. Could it be that he hasn't cleaned it up all the time, and there are still residues in his body?But he felt no discomfort.
I can't figure it out for the time being, Ye Chen didn't kowtow on it, and explained a few words to his two cousins, and then started to pack his luggage.
In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Ye Chen rode Liu Yan straight to the Chuan Gong Pagoda.He took a shortcut and didn't pass through Jinmin County, so he didn't enter the house.
The Chuangong Pagoda appeared on the field next to the Yuanhe County Official Road. When Ye Chen arrived, martial law had already been imposed there.
At a rough glance, there are several troops alone, the most striking of which is the Zhenbei Army, which occupies an absolute advantage.The rest are local defenders. In addition to the local Yuanhe County, there are also superior state cities and superior Zhenbei Prefecture defenders.These three are all local troops, and they are not at the same level as the Zhenbei Army. With real swords and guns, none of them can hold the Zhenbei Army.
However, it can be resolved peacefully at a relatively small price. No one wants to start a war. Xiao Jinyan is very wise to do so.
In addition to the troops, there were also government servants who helped maintain order. Obviously, the Yuanhe county government also had a hand in it, but no manpower came from the state government government.
This is not difficult to understand. As long as the reason is suitable, the local troops can be transferred arbitrarily within the garrison. It is indeed a bit unreasonable to send yamen servants from the higher-level state government.
Ye Chen looked around and didn't find Xiao Jinyan, so he didn't look for it deliberately, he took out the military division badge, and found the person in charge of the Zhenbei Army to hand it over. After verifying that it was correct, he immediately started talking to him.
Soon, Ye Chen learned the news he wanted to know. The fee charged by Chuan Gong Pagoda was ten yuan jade per person, only for one floor, but the actual entrance fee was 15 yuan jade per person. It was entered into the accounts of troops and yamen at all levels.
In this regard, Ye Chen not only did not feel that these people had dark hearts, but felt that they were quite benevolent.You must know that the profit he earned from Xu Yanqing was as high as half, which was exactly the same as the income earned by the army. This is still a friendship price, and he would only charge higher fees if he came to the door through various relationships.
Of course, this price is only for the general public, and the related households have to lower it a few more levels. As Ye Chen's military adviser, he can help people talk about things, and he can get the price of 12 yuan jade per person. Xiao Jinyan came here in person. Needless to say, it is only Charge the cost.
"Is Lieutenant Xiao here?" After inquiring about the Chuangong Pagoda, Ye Chen asked about Xiao Jinyan's whereabouts.
"No, General Xiao is going to inspect other passes."
"General Xiao? When did you become a general?"
"It's been a while." Speaking of this, the person in charge of the Zhenbei Army paused, and then reminded in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, I said you can't do this, you have to be more careful, and you can't leave General Xiao behind." Whether you hear it or not..."
Ye Chen has black lines on his face. This person is too enthusiastic, like the aunt of the neighborhood committee, but this is indeed a problem. The next time he sees Xiao Jinyan, he has to tell him that if something important happens, he must be notified. I don't know how people will see it.
Originally, Ye Chen only planned to inquire about the news, but found that the entrance fee of Chuan Gong Pagoda was not outrageous, so he thought about entering again, and immediately asked: "I don't need to charge more to enter, right?"
"No, no, no extra money for my own people."
Ye Chen pretended to take something from his rucksack, but actually took out ten pieces of Yuanyu from the Lucky Mall and stuffed them into the mouth of the dragon-shaped stone carving at the gate of Chuangong Pagoda.
This time the door was not opened, and Ye Chen was directly teleported into the first floor of the tower.The situation inside is exactly the same as before. Rows of bookshelves go straight into the dome, and it is easy for people to feel small when standing among them.
Ye Chen was thinking about the talent test items in his mind, and a guidepost immediately appeared in front of his eyes. Even so, it took him a while to reach the target bookshelf, the first floor of the Gongpa Tower is too big.
Entering the Chuan Gong Pagoda twice, the deepest feeling for Ye Chen is the word "many". No matter what kind of items, there are dozens of them at least, and hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of them. It is easy to pick flowers. Yep, now he ran into this trouble.
Ye Chen had no choice but to choose based on his feelings. Of course, the price must also be considered. He can't afford the one that is too expensive. Don't spend a lot of money, but the challenge fails. The loss is simply immeasurable. At present, he does not have the capital to squander.
It's a pity that the Chuan Gong Pagoda is good, but there are too many restrictions, not to mention challenges, the most terrible thing is that you can only take away one item at a time, no matter whether it is expensive or cheap, you can't regret the choice.In addition, within one year, ten yuan jade is charged for the first entry, the price will increase ten times the second time, and ten times the third time, and so on, until the time of one year is up, and the counting will be repeated.
After deliberating for a long time, Ye Chen finally chose a talent test formation, middle grade, and before he got the item, the 1000 yuan jade disappeared without a trace.
