"I discovered by accident, which mountain is Lingshan?" Yu Yueyue asked puzzledly, as she had no idea about the terrain and mountains in Tieta Village.
"Lingshan is the mountain where elixirs grow. In the past, I used to call them treasure mountains. After all, before you explained my confusion, I called elixirs treasures."
Ye Congwen explained patiently. After all, he was a layman in this area, so he should just do as the Romans do.
"I dug it up unintentionally. So you encountered it by chance. Is this a blind cat encountering a dead mouse?
No, you just said that you use the elixir for food, which proves that you have dug it more than once. Besides, with your stingy and cautious character, how could you squander the elixir so wantonly if you have no inventory or connections? "
"Correct me, be careful and don't use words indiscriminately." Ye Congwen retorted dissatisfied, and then grinned proudly:
"A person like me who possesses special skills is destined to be unable to hide from your discerning eyes."
After a pause, he whispered: "I'll tell you a secret. In fact, I was able to dig up the elixir thanks to the secret technique passed down from my ancestors: the Five Elements and Bagua Feng Shui technique.
I will tell you this only, don’t mention it to anyone. Only my father and I know this secret technique in the whole village. I haven’t even mentioned the pigeon sprouts to her. You should believe my sincerity now, right? ? "
Although Yu Yueyue had never met Ye Congwen a few times, she still knew a thing or two about this man's character. He was full of lies, deceit and abduction, and was more enthusiastic than anyone else.
Listen to the name: Five Elements Bagua, Qi Feng Shui, can't you just say Feng Shui? Do you think I haven't read a history book? You can use some snacks to make things up randomly!
However, when I remembered that when I asked Ye Wudi about Ye Congwen's parents, the old patriarch seemed to have vaguely mentioned that his father's death was caused by going to the Hundred Beasts Mountains to search for medicinal materials...
"I don't expect this person to tell the truth, nor would he use his deceased father as a cover. He still has treasure hunting experience inherited from his family. Such exaggeration is just to ask for a high price."
Yu Yueyue thought about it for a while before speaking:
“Sincerity is not just words, you have to prove it with actions.
If you give me a pair of your treasured two-color elixir, maybe I can consider giving you a place when the Demon Hunter Apprentice Camp recruits apprentices one day. "
"Can you tell me the benefits of being an apprentice in the Demon Hunter Apprentice Camp?"
"You don't even know this, do you?" Yu Yueyue looked at Ye Congwen in disbelief, seeing his confused and ignorant look, and asked:
"How many times have you taken the elixir, and what was the portion size each time?"
"Once a day, one pound of snow ginseng each time, but every time it is mixed with ground chicken or snow chicken and stewed into soup. Why, is the portion too small?"
Ye Congwen considered whether to replace his home with a large stew pot.
"Once a day, and you still put in a pound every time?" Yu Yueyue saw that Ye Congwen didn't seem to be bragging or lying. There was a bit of embarrassment in his eyes, as if he was afraid of laughing at his petty attitude.
Yu Yueyue was immediately stunned! Have you met the landlord—the silly son of the mountain god? A pound of snow ginseng mixed with pheasant meat stew, really the magic medicine is the radish from your garden?
Thinking of the distressed look in Uncle San's eyes when he saw me drinking the elixir, I suddenly felt inexplicable dissatisfaction. I would eat a piece of snow ginseng in 20 to 30 days. I would cut a piece each time and grind it into powder and sprinkle it in the chicken soup.
The third uncle still stayed by the stew pot every day, often stewing two old hens with two pieces of elixir. When he finished drinking the soup, he immediately ran to his house with the chicken, causing him to not eat a piece of chicken for a month. A meal of green vegetables.
"How can your body handle this without any adverse reactions?"
"Fortunately, except for the first reaction, which was a bit loud, everything after that was within control. I guess it was a bit too much the first time, haha!"
Yu Yueyue's face was filled with resentment. She really didn't want to hear Ye Congwen show off his wealth here. Let’s quickly get to the point:
"I'm asking about your abnormal reaction. Don't talk about irrelevant things."
"It's the reaction I asked you about before. It's like there's a fire burning in your body, and your blood is rushing as if it's about to burn."
"Then, will these symptoms still persist after a long time?"
"It only lasted a few minutes, and the majestic energy seemed to have basically disappeared. What do you mean by asking this?"
Hearing Ye Congwen say that it can only last a few minutes, I felt a lot calmer. At least Sanshu's theory was correct. Eating more and drinking more cannot change the body's storage capacity.
"The problem lies here, have you ever thought about, if you can store this energy in your own body, and accumulate it over time, what level will your combat effectiveness reach?
In this Pangu Continent, those who can swallow the energy of elixirs without leaking them are called body-building warlocks, and this magical training method is called body-building magic.
As far as I know, the only people within the entire Wanquan County with a radius of several hundred miles to practice this magical skill are the Demon Hunting Guards! The Demon Hunter Apprentice Camp is the place where body-forging warlocks are trained for Demon Hunters. "
"I see!"
Ye Congwen's earlier guess was completely consistent with this. It seemed that Yu Yueyue had not deceived him, and it seemed from her tone that she could join the Demon Hunting Guard as an apprentice through connections.
With my current treasure-hunting secret skills, I will definitely have no shortage of elixirs in the future. As long as I learn the magic of body-forging, becoming a body-forging warlock is a sure thing!
"What is the process for recruiting apprentices? What are the requirements? Are individuals allowed to sign up?"
Ye Congwen felt that if he could handle it alone, there would be no need to trouble the Yu Mansion.
"Are you going to study in a school? Are you going to sign up personally?
Originally, the minimum requirement for members of the Demon Hunting Guard was to be a body-forging warlock, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War of the Great Xia Dynasty. In order to better mobilize the enthusiasm of local families to hunt monsters, the children of big families with a certain prestige were allowed to enter the Demon Hunting Guard Apprentice Camp to practice and become apprentices. This is already considered an act of mercy outside the law.
What's going on, you want to bypass my Yu Mansion and go it alone! "
"Are you thinking wrong, am I that kind of person?
You also said that the number of places is limited. There must be a lot of children in your Yu family, and it is impossible to get even the rain and dew. If an outsider like me were to steal a spot out of thin air, I'm afraid there would be too much resistance, and the most important reason would be to embarrass you. After all, the previous rumors were very detrimental to you! "
"What rumors?" Yu Yueyue was not used to Ye Congwen being so considerate of others, but he was telling the truth and asked a little depressed.
"Post a list to recruit a son-in-law!"
"Where did you hear that?"
Yu Yueyue almost ran away, her eyes flickering. How could this guy know so much when he stayed in the ravine every day? When I came to Iron Tower Village this time, maybe even he thought I was here for this! For a moment, he turned from embarrassment to anger, and his face turned pale.
"Actually, during the days when you were unconscious, I secretly went to Yu Mansion to inquire about information."
Ye Congwen tried hard to make his voice sound affectionate and melancholy.
"What are you doing at my house? What does it have to do with the person who posted the poster..." The voice was as anxious as ever, but the tone was not so fierce.
"Originally, I was going to buy you a new skirt that day. Before I even got to the clothing store, I found that three gangsters were blocking the pigeon sprouts in an alley and teasing me. With my bad temper, I naturally won't show mercy. I beat them until they knelt down and begged for mercy.
I wanted to buy you a new skirt, but what I didn't expect was that a fat man suddenly jumped out, saying that he was the boss of those three gangsters, and threatened me that the three guards of Mo Lin and Yu were all in Qingshan Town, and he could come at any time Find someone to fix me————
If you don’t believe it, you can ask pigeon peas? "
Seeing Yu Yueyue frowning, Ye Congwen obviously didn't believe him and shouted to Douya who was choosing a necklace:
"Little Douya, do you still remember the name of that damn fat guy?"
"This inhuman thing, why are you mentioning him!"
Mudou Ya was mesmerized by the dozens of exquisite jewelry items in the wooden box in front of her, and she really couldn't find the energy to talk to the two of them.
"Yes, his name is Mo Renxin. I guess he is the young master of the Mo family. You should know him, right?"
"So you threw him into the stinking ditch, and why didn't you see him come over later?"
Yu Yueyue remembered that Mo Renxin seemed to have suffered a setback in Qingshan Town, but he just refused to admit it.
"My Miss Yu, aren't you asking questions knowingly? Since I know that Mo Renxin has brought guards, how can I dare to stay in Qingshan Town?
It doesn't matter if I'm alone, but there are still pigeon sprouts. If she gets beaten up too, how will I explain to her mother when I get home? My aunt and uncle were not allowed to whip me with a cane.
So don't hold on to that skirt. I really didn't mean to do it. "
"You've been talking for so long because you don't want to give me a skirt. I don't know you yet."
Listening to this tone, it seems that the tearing of the skirt is considered a turning point. Ye Congwen immediately patted his chest and promised:
"I promise to pick you a beautiful and nice dress, but I'm worried that it will be difficult for me to pick one that suits you."
"What do you mean, do you still want me to tell you the size?"
"I can tell you the size by asking those two maids of yours. The problem is that I have never given anyone a skirt. How do I know what style you like? How about you accompany me to pick it out one day when you have time?"
"It's so insincere of you to ask someone to accompany you to pick out things when you give them away? Let's wait until I'm in a better mood and have more time."
Yu Yueyue said expressionlessly, in order to cover up her inner turmoil, she said to Ye Congwen:
"Don't mention the past. You just need to tell me where you dug the two-color elixir, or take out a pair of elixirs and sell them to my third uncle. You will definitely be able to become an apprentice in the Demon Hunter Apprentice Camp. "
"I have already stewed the elixir and drank it. The last pound of the elixir should be in this pot of chicken soup. If you don't believe it, I will take you to see it now."
Ye Congwen was also anxious. If he didn't come earlier, he wouldn't come later. Now that the elixir had run out, he told me this. Wasn't he sincerely making things difficult for me?
"It's useless for me to believe you. It's useful only for my third uncle to believe you.
Did you really find and dig up this elixir yourself? You are not allowed to lie, this is related to the allocation of quotas for Demon Hunter apprentices. "
Yu Yueyue was also a little anxious, mainly because Ye Congwen behaved too rogue in front of his third uncle today, and it was difficult to win the trust of others.
"It's not as convincing as digging up a pair of two-color elixirs. I'll dig up a pair of elixirs tomorrow and come back."
"What's the use of being angry? Digging for elixirs is often time-consuming, laborious and protracted. Even if you know which mountain contains the elixir, you can guarantee that it will be dug out right away?
For such a wide and high mountain, gods have to take their time to find it. In three days, it will be the deadline for major families to submit their lists! Only if you come up with something or strength that can really impress my third uncle, he will ask my grandfather to change the roster. Otherwise, the Demon Hunting Guard recruits registered disciples every three years, and you can only wait three years later. "
"I have no choice but to offend your third uncle!"
Ye Congwen picked up the soup bowl and wolfed it down. In less than five minutes, he had completely wiped out the meat in a large bowl of chicken soup.
"What do you want to do?" Yu Yueyue asked puzzledly.
"With my martial master's perfection level, I can beat your third uncle to his knees and beg for mercy. Then he will be able to tell whether my bowl of elixir is real!"
