Ye Congwen blushed with shame, yes, when did his mentality become so fragile? When I was looking for elixirs in Tieta Village, I didn't have the magic of throwing 筶, and I didn't know the method of five prisoners, four evils, three treasures and two blessings. With just a few formulas and a lot of brute force, didn't I dig out several pairs of elixirs?
Now that I know a lot more, I am starting to feel proud of myself? Pretending to be a master of treasure hunting, or being proud and arrogant in front of beautiful women, unable to lose face, unable to accept failure...
"Finally, I've become a prince myself. I'm just a villager from the mountains. Why bother imitating a young master from an aristocratic family? He doesn't look like a prince even if he puts on a dragon robe!"
Ye Congwen laughed at himself in his heart, and suddenly realized that he regained his fighting spirit. There were still dozens of treasures left to dig.
After dinner, the sky darkened. This time the three of them followed suit and took a bath early to go to bed. Yu Yueyue and Lin Xiaoyu asked Ye Congwen several times to help them practice Jia Xiaoyao's unique skills, but Ye Congwen always thought that it was possible nearby. There are monsters around, and if you fall unconscious, you may refuse because you are afraid that it will affect your life when you escape.
The three of them practiced the exercises each time, fell asleep early, and stayed silent all night.
What Ye Congwen was worried about finally broke out. For three consecutive days, Ye Congwen found a dozen treasure mountains in total, but all of them were climbed first by people or monsters!
Some of the treasured soil looks like it has been plowed by a plow, and some of the treasured soil is densely covered with holes that are three to four feet deep. Some even have holes dug up to three feet deep. It's like a landslide, with the entire piece of treasured soil being dug out. !
Even Lin Xiaoyu, a person who knew nothing, knew that the elixir inside must be poached by others, let alone Yu Ye.
Yu Yueyue reluctantly explored the place three times, but without exception, it was all empty. There was no need to even use a hoe. Two pits the size of baskets welcomed the arrival of the three of them as always. Lin Xiaoyu was so angry that he went crazy on the side, and in his anger, he even filled it back with soil.
In the evening, the three of them sat on the bench in silence. Yu and Lin rested their chins on their hands and looked at Ye Congwen who said nothing. This man had been meditating for a long time and didn't know what he was thinking. If he hadn't seen that he was eating as usual and not impatient, Yu Yueyue would have been really worried that he would be overwhelmed by what he had experienced in the past few days.
Having said that, Ye Congwen's secret treasure hunting skills are really amazing. He found thirteen treasure mountains in a row without missing a single one. There were four pairs of two-color elixirs, eight pairs of three-color elixirs, and the most regrettable thing was that there was a pair of them. Four-color elixir!
It was a pity that others had to cut off the mess. In desperation, Ye Congwen had to pack several bags of the four-color soil and take it back to the ship.
"Don't be too discouraged. Although you didn't find the magic elixir, it proves that your treasure hunting secrets are indeed amazing. To describe it as superb is not an overstatement."
Yu Yueyue persuaded softly, and gave Lin Xiaoyu a push, signaling her to speak up and liven up the atmosphere.
"Brother Congwen, don't look so gloomy. At worst, I won't give up the two thousand kilograms of gold bars. I just need you to come to my house, haha!"
Lin Xiaoyu felt that if things continued like this, Brother Congwen might not have much hope of becoming the richest man in Wanquan County. She had better not expect too much from him. It was easy to jump over the wall when someone got pushy. What if he gave up his choice and decided not to marry?
"Lin Xiaoyu, shut up! I won't open any pot."
Yu Yueyue scolded her with a scowl on her face. This crazy girl hadn't been crazy for a long time. She thought she had changed her temper, but who knew she was still talking unabashedly.
"I have a plan and I'd like to get your opinion on it."
Ye Congwen thought about it again and again, and felt that it was better to make it clear. If he went back in despair, he would be unwilling to do so.
"what's the plan?"
Yu and Lin watched with interest when Ye Congwen finally opened his mouth to ask questions.
"Judging from the results of the past three days, most of the treasures along the river have been dug up by others. Even if we continue to search one by one, we are afraid that we will not gain anything. Even if we occasionally find something missing, it will not be high. Quality elixirs can be mined.
We're pressed for time and I don't see the need to waste time on something I know won't yield anything.
I plan to push the boat forward fifty miles, directly bypass this mountain peak, and look for Baoshan again. What do you think? "
"Fifty miles further along the waterway, you will be close to the forbidden circle. That is a place where monsters frequently appear. Since ancient times, the dividing line between monsters and humans has been drawn. Once you cross the boundary, life or death will be unpredictable."
Yu Yueyue said solemnly that the forbidden circle can be regarded as the agreed dividing line between the human race and the three innate gods. Unless they are body-building warlocks who practice divine arts, ordinary people will basically have a narrow escape if they venture into it.
“My idea is to paint this boat with four-color soil and find a secluded inlet to moor it.
You two can hide in the boat day and night and wait for my good news. The four-color soil can isolate the breath of all living creatures. I don’t expect the monsters to find you easily. I just want to make you two stay in the room every day. Don't show your face at will. "
"No! Are you planning to abandon us and dig for elixirs alone? What if you fall into a deep pit? What if a monster attacks you?"
Yu Yueyue heard what Ye Congwen meant and objected categorically.
"Brother Congwen, I am the weakest among the three of us. Aren't you afraid that I will be taken away by a monster? Besides, the three of us can take care of each other when we are together, right?"
Lin Xiaoyu called out softly twice, grabbed Ye Congwen's arm and shook it gently. She was indescribably weak and pitiful, making people feel love and pity.
Yu Yueyue looked at Lin Xiaoyu in surprise. Did this little girl practice the art of seduction? A woman like herself was about to be impressed by her. She didn't know how Ye Congwen would react.
When I turned around to look, I saw Ye Congwen talking eloquently:
"It's not that I don't want to take you into the mountains. You two will stay in the boat. I will row the boat alone to find the treasure mountain. If I get results, it will be much safer to take you two up the mountain to dig for the elixir."
"You go to such a dangerous place alone. What if something happens to you? What if you fall into a cave like I did last time? Do you want me to go to the mountain alone at night to find you?"
Yu Yueyue's eyes were firm. No matter how Ye Congwen tried to defend himself, Ye Congwen was not allowed to look for medicine alone.
Ye Congwen didn't expect that Yu Yueyue, who was usually gentle and gentle, would react so violently, leaving no room for negotiation. He was stunned into silence for a moment, and the scene fell into an embarrassing situation for a while.
"Brother Congwen, have you ever thought about how Sister Yueyue and I will survive the night if you don't come back? Last time you went to catch stone frogs, Sister Yueyue said that she saw a female ghost in red on the boat. If you don’t fall asleep at the door, I won’t dare sleep at night.”
Yu Yueyue saw that Lin Xiaoyu was still putting eye drops on herself at this time, and there was really nothing she could do against her.
Ye Congwen looked at Yu and Lin, who were both strong and soft, and immediately understood that this road was not going to work. Is it possible that he went back home in such a dejected manner?
Without two pairs of three-color elixirs, how could I advance to the master's perfection state? The two of them, Yu and Lin, were of average physique, and each had a pair of two-color elixirs that were enough for them to take for a month, which would last them until the next time they went out to dig for elixirs. Do you have time to wait until next time? Will the Mo family Lianjia let him go? Without a large amount of three-color elixir as a backing, how can one fight against a master at the Grand Master level?
Ye Congwen's eyes glanced at Yu and Lin. They were wearing pure white cotton pajamas at night, which was quite elegant. It's just that it's too conspicuous. Once you step out of the wooden house, you will be the target of public criticism.
After all, it was pitch dark in this deep mountain wilderness. Wearing such white clothes at night, and standing under the white moonlight, he looked like a fairy flying to the moon. I'm afraid that the eyes of ferocious beasts and raptors will immediately be attracted to me. If I want to go out to see the night view, I have to dye my clothes first————
"By the way, why didn't I think of that! Does dyeing clothes with four-color soil also have the effect of masking one's own aura?"
Ye Congwen was immediately excited. The three-color soil was as viscous as paint when applied on the boat. It is estimated that the four-color soil is more viscous and may be used as paint.
Without talking to Yu and Lin, he happily ran to the stern of the boat and took out a bag of four-color soil, and then took out a wooden bucket, mixed the four-color soil and water, and kept stirring until it became as viscous as mud. He ordered Yu Yueyue to bring over the black clothes he wore during the day.
Ye Congwen threw a set of clothes into the barrel and waited quietly for the paint to take on color. Yu Yueyue watched Ye Congwen messing around in confusion, and suddenly saw him throwing his clothes into the colorful bucket, and immediately complained:
"What the hell are you doing! I just washed my clothes!"
"Don't rush to curse, I'll give you a colorful and beautiful dress later!"
Ye Congwen watched the black clothes slowly sink into the mud. In less than ten minutes, the color of the four-color mud slowly faded. Ye Congwen rubbed his palms and looked at the barrel expectantly. It was almost done.
Success or failure depends on this one move. If the dyeing is successful, there is hope of advancing another fifty miles. If it fails, then go home!
He didn't dare to take these two rich young ladies and risk breaking into the forbidden circle. If one and a half of them were injured, the Yu and Lin Houses would have to skin him.
Lin Xiaoyu and Yu Yueyue watched with wide eyes as Ye Congwen slowly took out a colorful piece of clothing from the barrel. Strangely enough, the mud suddenly turned earthy black, as if all the pigments in it were absorbed. Same on clothes!
Lin Xiaoyu stepped forward curiously and touched the clothes, and found that they were not faded at all. He couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Congwen, how did you discover that these four colors of soil have dyeing properties?"
"Dyeing effect? That's just a side effect of it. The biggest effect of this treasured garment is that it has the ability to naturally conceal the human body's breath. When we wear it, we can avoid the spiritual detection of monsters. In other words, we can be unaware of God's presence. Sneak into the taboo circle unknowingly to dig for elixirs. Of course, the prerequisite is that you don't encounter the monsters head-on.
Stop sitting here stupidly, get your and my clothes quickly, and I'll mix two more buckets of mud! "
