Rise of Nongmen

As the night deepened, after the Ye family's initial excitement passed, sleepiness hit their hearts, Ye Chen didn't persuade them, and they didn't go back to the room until they couldn't stand it anymore.

The next day, when Ye Chen woke up, he wanted to send a message to Xiao Jinyan immediately to discuss the postponement of the New World party, but he changed his mind immediately when he heard Liu Yan's familiar neighing sound outside the house.

In the past three months, the quality of the communication talisman has been continuously improved, but the communication distance has not yet reached the level of direct contact, at least one transfer is required, and the privacy is not high. Ye Chen simply took Liuyan to Shanyuguan.

This time he didn't stay long, and after discussing the matter, he transferred to Jinmin County.

The Xu family in Dongfu.

After Ye Chen went away for several months, Xu Yanqing had been looking forward to it for a long time. Seeing that he was in high spirits, without any sign of running around, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Ye, you are free and easy, just leave a few words and leave. Waiting for you for three months."

Ye Chen was stunned: "No way, if there is something urgent, I wouldn't wait in the city, I would have gone to look for you earlier. Besides, I didn't send someone a letter to you a while ago, and the matter was postponed to discuss, don't you? Not received?"

"Received." Xu Yanqing showed helplessness, "It's not easy to do ordinary business now. It's okay to talk about Zhenbei Prefecture and its surrounding areas, and there is no one to obstruct it. In other places, you have to peel off a layer of skin just to get through the various checkpoints. In addition, local forces Exploitation, although the sales of the most profitable flame wine have gradually recovered, so far it is only slightly lower than before, and the income has plummeted."

Ye Chen thought for a while, and said: "In this case, it's better to change it to a distribution method and directly wholesale the flame wine to foreign merchants."

Xu Yanqing shook his head and denied the proposal: "I tried this before, and it didn't improve much. It will also reduce the influence, which is not conducive to the establishment of a sales network."

"Then what do you mean?" Ye Chen was not dissatisfied because the suggestion was not adopted, but became interested in Xu Yanqing's long-awaited intention of his arrival.

Xu Yanqing didn't answer directly, but changed the subject and asked, "Brother Ye, can you supply large quantities of Lingmi for a long time?"

"Has the spirit wine been brewed?" Ye Chen asked without answering.

Xu Yanqing nodded with a smile.

"Ordinary winemakers probably don't have this ability. Did you invite a spirit winemaker, or did your family produce one?" Ye Chen was happy for the other party.

To be honest, the Xu family's status is not stable, fortunately they settled in Jinmin County and were protected by him, but that's it, at most they occupy a place among ordinary people in Northwest Prefecture, but it is really nothing in the eyes of the Da Yue Dynasty.Seeing that as time went by, monks sprung up like mushrooms after rain, one could imagine how much pressure the Xu family was under, and it would be strange if Xu Yanqing was not in a hurry.

Speaking of this, Xu Yanqing couldn't stop smiling: "Brother Ye, it's all thanks to you. I followed your instructions and ordered shops in various places to buy all kinds of strange items. A few months ago, the next shop received something. It is inconspicuous at all, not as eye-catching as the five-color ginseng, but it is better than no one knows and the quantity is large, so I reported it. I went there with the idea of ​​trying my luck. I originally wanted you to palm your eyes, but unfortunately your It happened to be time to leave, and the date of return was uncertain, so I couldn't wait, so I took it to Zhenbao Pavilion..."

The development of the matter is known without thinking, and the ending is happy. The Zhenbao Pavilion received a real spiritual item, and the Xu family also benefited from it. They exchanged a large amount of Yuanyu, and sent the best talents of the Xu family in the East Mansion to the trial in one fell swoop. tower.The result was very gratifying. Not only did he get his wish to get the secret technique of the heart method, but he also got a spirit wine master as an extra gift.

The wonderful thing is that Xu Yanqing has a very close relationship with Ye Chen, and Ye Chen happened to have a source of spiritual rice, so how could the Xu family not be overjoyed?

The fly in the ointment was that at such a moment, Ye Chen hadn't been seen for a long time. Now, not to mention Xu Yanqing, even everyone in the Xu family who knew about it was looking forward to Ye Chen's arrival.

Knowing the whole story, Ye Chen smiled and congratulated.

Xu Yanqing accepted Ye Chen's congratulations with a smile on his face, but the smile didn't last long, and was replaced by a helpless expression: "Brother Ye, to tell you the truth, such rare things are good, and there are a lot of them, but Xu's family is weak and can't protect them. I had no choice but to sell this product directly to the Treasure Pavilion, and got a quick sum of money. I barely sent a few people into the trial tower. Now that the cultivation method is available, the cultivation resources are far from enough. If we don’t hurry to make money, the Xu family may will fall further and further behind.”

Ye Chen listened quietly, he had a way to send the Xu family to the sky in one fell swoop, but if he really wanted to do that, it would be impossible for him and Xu Yanqing to remain friends.

Leaving aside Xu Yanqing's displeasure, Ye Chen won't be able to pass this test. He won't do this, so he skipped this idea and asked instead: "What kind of grass is that? Take it out and let me see."

Naturally Xu Yanqing would not refuse, although the things had already been handed over, the Xu family kept some.

Ye Chen opened the jade box, looked carefully, and was soon attracted by the breath of soul power radiating from the grass, and he judged that it had a similar effect to the soul-condensing grass.After a little thought, he probed his soul power into the Qiankun Pearl and poured it into the Yuanyu, and the "Comprehension of Lingzhi" slowly unfolded. After searching and comparing, he found the corresponding record in a short time.

The inconspicuous grass in the jade box is called Jiu Ning Grass, and when it matures, its effect is many times better than that of Soul Condensing Grass.It's a pity that these are the lowest level of one-turn Nine Ning Grass, and their efficacy is not as good as that of Soul Condensation Grass. Otherwise, the large piece of Nine Ning Grass would cost far more than this, and it would not be so easy to fall into Xu Yanqing's hands.

Although he felt regretful, Ye Chen was still grateful for Xu Yanqing.Mature Jiuningcao is undoubtedly classified as a treasure of heaven, material and earth. How can it be so easy to obtain?If you think about the tragic scene caused by the imminent birth of Lu Xing's fierce beast king Shi, you may know that he was trampled to death by various guardian beasts before he got the Nine Turns Nine Ning Grass.

Xu Yanqing was unlucky to be able to get Jiu Ningcao when it was still the most inconspicuous.With the Xu family's current strength, even if Jiu Ningcao only goes one step further, reaching the second rank, his family can't afford it.At that time, if Lingzhi is not obtained, the army will be lost instead, and the Xu family will probably be seriously injured, and will never recover from it. If they want to keep up with the trend of monk development, there may be little hope.

Ye Chen could help for a while, but he couldn't help forever. It is conceivable that the Xu family was abandoned by the army.

After thinking for a while, Ye Chen closed the lid of the jade box, and said: "Spiritual wine masters don't have high requirements for soul power, but the higher the better, if you want to step into a high level, you need the same soul power support. Take these Grass, go to Zhenbao Pavilion to find shopkeeper Xiao, and exchange for Soul Condensation Pill, just say it is recommended by me, and he will give you the best price."

Xu Yanqing did not refuse, and readily accepted it.

The news about Jiu Ningcao should not be exposed, so Ye Chen didn't mention a word, it's not that he wanted to take advantage, it was good for both of them, so the matter was exposed.

Not only was Xu Yanqing not stupid, but on the contrary he was very wise. He immediately noticed that Ye Chen's act of compensating in disguise was very strange, but he didn't say a word.

But after a while, the two turned to the topic again.

Ye Chen said bluntly: "I have a batch of Lingmi in my hand, but I can't guarantee a stable supply. After a while, I have to travel far away, and it's hard to know when I can return. You asked me this just because you had thought about it in advance. Law?"

"Yeah." Xu Yanqing was slightly disappointed, then his expression returned to normal, and he regretted, "In this case, we can only mix Lingmi with ordinary food to make wine, and it may be difficult to make rare goods. But it's good, few people covet it, and you don't need it Come forward, our Xu family alone should be able to handle it."

Thinking of the uncertainty of this trip, Ye Chen wanted to arrange the future of the Ye family as much as possible, including leaving some resources in his hands, and the Juyuan array was an indispensable item.

From the point of view that the development of Beihuang is mainly based on farms, cultivating spiritual fields is bound to become the top priority. Ye Chen thought for a moment and said: "Brother Xu, if you are not busy, come with me to visit Beihuang now. It may take a long time to leave, during this period, we will send another person to contact you for cooperation matters, and now that I am free, the two parties have just completed the transition."

This matter should be dealt with, Xu Yanqing had no reason to refuse, and readily agreed.

Unexpectedly, there was a little problem on the return trip.

Looking at Liu Yan, whose back was facing him, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile. Seeing that it was really unhappy, and insisted on refusing to carry Xu Yanqing, he had no choice but to cast an apologetic look at the other party.

Xu Yanqing waved his hand, expressing that he didn't mind, but the regret in his eyes was unavoidable.This is a rare good opportunity to control Liuyan, but unfortunately, Liuyan refuses to cooperate, and I'm afraid it will be impossible in the future.

Since the original plan has changed, it is not safe for Xu Yanqing to go on the road alone, he was about to summon the nursing home, but was stopped by Ye Chen: "I will go with you, as for the return journey, you can leave with the Beihuang delivery team. "

Xu Yanqing was also not polite to Ye Chen, turned around and told his servants to prepare the horses and bags, and immediately followed Ye Chen to Beihuang.

With Xu Yanqing as a burden, it's all right if he can't fly, he can't even run fast, Liu Yan looks at the little brother Ma behind him who is crawling slowly like a turtle, with as much disgust as he wants.

Ye Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't see that the horse carrying Xu Yanqing was almost foaming from exhaustion, it was also a good horse, yet Liu Yan actually despised it.Seeing that Liu Yan's gas had almost disappeared, he quickly let it slow down.If you don't surrender, you won't be able to. If you don't slow down, the horse will be useless. At that time, Xu Yanqing will have to walk on foot. Wouldn't that waste more time?

Liu Yan has always been obedient, this time when Ye Chen said it, it followed suit, but always turned around and blinked at him with big black and wet eyes, seeing Ye Chen couldn't harden his heart, and was caught unconsciously. It succeeded in its strategy and took out a few special candies to feed.

A look of helplessness and irony flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. Only a simple-minded animal could approach him so easily. For others, even Xiao Jinyan, who is closest to him, could not do this. , Liuyan can still keep the heart of a child.

Liu Yan didn't think too much about it, chewing the sweet and vigorous animal milk candy, it was so happy that it carried Ye Chen around, running forward, running back, and rushing to the fields again, Have fun on your own.

It has been a year since the world's power system began to recover. All creatures have been favored, and their physical fitness has improved to varying degrees. Horses are no exception.

After arriving at the place, Ye Chen let Liu Yan move freely.It immediately ran happily. Needless to say, the direction is likely to be towards the Flame Mountain. If Ye Chen hadn't ordered it to recklessly, it might not be able to see it, and it would plunge into the Flame Mountain. , it can be seen how attractive the Flame Mountain is to it.

To be honest, Ye Chen was not without hesitation in his heart, sometimes he just let it go, acting by instinct may not be a bad thing, maybe Liuyan could get a chance because of this, and finally gave up.

After getting along for more than a year, Liuyan is not only a mount, but also not much different from his relatives. He is still a naughty child who understands winks, lacks judgment on danger, and knows that there are many dangers ahead. As long as the temptation is strong enough, it will never turn back. break in.

Under such circumstances, Ye Chen really couldn't let go completely, so he had to draw a boundary line for Liu Yan, and he could not cross the line without his permission.

Liuyan tried her best, and found that being coquettish and being obedient, all her tricks were exhausted, but she couldn't impress Ye Chen, so she gave up knowingly, but often wandered around the edge of the boundary.

Ye Chen naturally let it go, no, just returned to the manor, as soon as Liuyan was free, he flew in the direction of Huoyanshan, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When he arrived at his own territory, Liu Yan didn't hide his ability any more, and shot straight into the sky. Xu Yanqing kept this scene in his eyes, and couldn't hide his surprise on his face.He guessed that Liuyan was the Pegasus in the rumors, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still very shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Ye Chen didn't urge him, he didn't take Xu Yanqing to Lingtian until he came back to his senses.

"This is?" As soon as he stepped into the fields built around the lake, bursts of warmth filled his body, and Xu Yanqing's just calm heart lake once again had waves.

"The rudimentary form of the spiritual field can grow mortal spiritual plants with a small amount of vitality, which is about the same grade as those exotic flowers and plants you usually receive most often." Ye Chen explained as he walked.

"There is a lot of vitality here, much stronger than Jinmin County, and this temperature..." Based on the relationship between the two, Xu Yanqing didn't have so many scruples. If he had any doubts, he would ask directly, but he would not get to the bottom of it. As long as Ye Chen had no intention of Answer, he will naturally not chase after asking for answers, this is the principle of dealing with people that he has always adhered to.

Now that he brought people here, Ye Chen didn't think about hiding it, and said directly: "The strong vitality is due to the blessing of the formation, as for the temperature higher than the outside world, it is due to the Huoyuanli cultivator, but it is very laborious, just two yuan Lingtian needs several people to maintain it."

Xu Yanqing's eyes were full of envy, but not greed.

Ye Chen glanced at it by accident, and felt more joyful, and then explained to him: "These two spiritual fields are still semi-finished products, and we can only plant some transitional varieties from ordinary plants to spiritual plants, but they are enough for brewing spiritual wine. It’s just that we can’t supply all of them to the distillery, I’m afraid that this batch of Lingmi will be used up, and if we want to brew a large amount of it, the quality of the finished wine may be reduced by at least one or two grades.”

Hearing this, Xu Yanqing was not only not disappointed, but instead his eyes lit up, he shook his head and sighed: "Brother Ye, you are too demanding, this is already very good, without you in charge, with the strength of the Xu family, it really needs spirit wine, Not to mention taking advantage of this to turn around, if you don't become a disaster, you are already blessed by God."

Ye Chen smiled without saying a word, and continued to lead Xu Yanqing around the farm, and said as he walked, "Brother Xu, in terms of pure force, the Ye family is much stronger than the Xu family. With a bright spear and a bright sword, as long as no big force enters, the Ye family Self-protection is not a problem, but I’m afraid it’s going to be a dark hand. I’m afraid the ten Ye families together won’t be able to beat the Xu family in this regard. I hope Brother Xu pays more attention to it. If you find something wrong, please send someone to let you know. My uncle and my mother."

"Is this trip really so dangerous?" Xu Yanqing frowned.

Ye Chen shook his head and vetoed it: "I don't know, it's because I don't know anything that I need to be more cautious."

"Okay, I promise." Xu Yanqing solemnly agreed.Regardless of whether this matter came out of selfishness or from the perspective of the overall situation of the Xu family, he would definitely agree to it. Actually, Ye Chen didn't have to ask for such a request, but the other party did so, so Xu Yanqing should take it seriously.

In order to improve the strength of the manor, Ye Chen adjusted his strategy a few months ago, allowing the most basic public skills to be credited.Therefore, the Ye family and their dependents must at least have a mastery of the mind, coupled with the same level of magic, it can be said that the whole people are capable of martial arts.It is a pity that the less talented have little effect, and that is better than ordinary people.

Even so, less than half of the five-element elemental force monks could really come in handy for the time being, not to mention the fire elemental force cultivators most needed in winter.Apart from taking care of the two spiritual fields, there are really not many people who can spare their hands to maintain the normal growth temperature of the farm crops. It can barely guarantee the self-sufficiency of the farm, and the rest is really powerless.

Even so, it opened Xu Yanqing's eyes.It was planted in the open air in winter, no better than hot springs in greenhouses, and it was still in the desolate northern wilderness, it was simply a miracle!

You know, this is not a spiritual field. Without the blessing of formations, the growth of crops depends entirely on the ability of monks. If there is a little negligence, many days of hard work will be wiped out. However, the crops in this small field are growing well, and there is no sign of frostbite and wilting. Leaving aside for now, execution alone is enough to make many families feel ashamed.

While his thoughts were racing, Xu Yanqing was overjoyed at first, then his brows formed a "Chuan" character, and he said after a long while, "Brother Ye, aren't these techniques unique to you?"

"No."

"Isn't that as long as there are enough people, anyone can do it?"

"Ah."

"Is the quality of vegetables, fruits and rice grains harvested in this way better than ordinary crops?"

"Not as good as Fan Lingzhi, but the taste and yield are worse than ordinary crops."

When the guess was confirmed, Xu Yanqing's heart skipped a beat.It seems that he has to change his approach and get a few popular Five Elements Yuanli exercises as soon as possible. The plan to cultivate masters must be slowed down for the time being, and a part of the resources will be allocated to improve the overall strength. It will lose its competitiveness, which will bring down the winery, causing the quality of all grades of wine produced by it to be affected.

Seeing Xu Yanqing turn the corner so quickly, Ye Chen couldn't help admiring that he came from an official and rich family with a smart mind, and he knows everything from a glance.

The Ye family does not have this ability. They are still toddlers, and their thinking depth is not enough. Fortunately, their execution ability is strong. As long as they are ordered, they can basically do it.

The small piece of out-of-season crops in front of me is the product that Ye Chen mentioned casually before leaving last time, and I didn't expect the results to be significant.The Green Vegetable Shredded Pork Porridge he ate this morning, among which the green vegetables come from this fast place, tastes even better than the seasonal green vegetables, not at all the impure taste brought by modern off-season vegetables that violate the law of growth.

After the purpose of this trip was achieved, Ye Chen stopped taking Xu Yanqing to wander around, and returned to the manor along the field road, and called Ye Ningren and the Bai family to the meeting hall to discuss work handover matters.

The next day, Ye Chen left Beihuang again and stepped into Jinmin County.He first went to Hong Liu's for a tour, explained something and left some cultivation resources, then turned into the Yunfu other courtyard, and had a long secret talk with the two brothers Yunxiao and Yunxu, until the sun was high and the discussion was over.

The two Yunxiao brothers stayed for lunch, Ye Chen didn't refuse, just took the main seat bluntly, and looked at their reactions calmly, seeing that there was no difference in their faces, but a little restrained and helpless, they enjoyed the food in a happy mood.

It's just that I used to eat delicious food, but now it's not as delicious as I imagined.

Ye Chen knew what was going on, it was because he took in spiritual food from time to time.Even so, he ate with relish, and his appetite didn't decrease greatly.In the last days, there are many days of lack of food and clothing. Compared with it, these ordinary top-level foods are still delicious even if they have fallen into the clouds.

After the meal, Ye Chen thought for a while and said to Yun Xu: "There is too little vitality here. Even if you are very talented, you may not be able to improve your cultivation speed. You started later than others. If you want to catch up quickly, you must have good skills." In this way, there is a flaming mountain in Beihuang, which is suitable for you. After Yunxiao gets married, you can go there to practice."

"Uncle Chen..."

Just as Yun Xiao was about to speak to stop him, Ye Chen interrupted: "Strength is the most important thing now, and I know your worries. Yun Xu has just started practicing, and his physical improvement is limited. For the time being, he is not as good as ordinary people. The sea of ​​sand in the Northern Wilderness is boundless. The conditions near the Huoyan Mountain are even worse, but if you can't even bear this bit of suffering, no matter how good your talent is, I'm afraid it's just a waste, I'll just say it once, you decide whether you want to go to Yunxu."

After finishing speaking, Ye Chen got up and left without waiting for a response.

Yun Xiao wanted to stay, but Ye Chen waved his hand and refused, so the Yun Xiao brothers had no choice but to send him out.

When Ye Chen's figure disappeared from the sight of the two, Yun Xiao turned his head and asked Yun Xu: "Brother, is Uncle Chen angry?"

Yun Xu didn't answer for a while, and after a long time, he said quietly: "You really think so?"

"Not like."

"Isn't that enough? Let's go back to the mansion. There were too many mistakes in the previous plan. While Uncle Chen is at home, hurry up and revise it. I will hold it for him to look at it on the day you marry your younger siblings. I can't decide on the rest. We sent him to practice." too much."

Yun Xiao didn't object. They were too young, they didn't have family support, and the capital they could use was not abundant. Every penny had to be spent wisely, and there was no room for waste.
