Chapter 115 Spiritual Plants in the Valley
When I came out of the retreat room, I found that except Leng Yuzhao, no one else was in the valley, not even Xiaobai.
"Young Master, have you finished your retreat?" Leng Yuzhao saw Liang Zifeng appear on the platform and happily stepped forward to greet him.
"Well, what about them?" Liang Zifeng smiled at Leng Yuzhao and asked.
"The Third Young Master and his companions have left the valley with the young lady and Xiaobai. They want to dispose of some of the magical instruments and talismans they have recently refined."
"With their level of refinement, is there anyone who wants the things they make?" After hearing this, Liang Zifeng thought of the half-baked levels of the third and fourth brothers and suddenly grinned.
"Young Master, in fact, for things in the valley, even a blade of grass, there will be people fighting for it." Leng Yuzhao looked at Liang Zifeng with a strange look, and then spoke.
"Oh? What's going on?" Liang Zifeng looked at Leng Yuzhao with some confusion.
“In fact, after the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the concentration of spiritual energy in the valley suddenly increased by more than double, causing the plants in the valley to contain a little spiritual energy.
On September 12, the young lady picked a bunch of wild flowers and gave them to Yang Tiezhu's child. However, the three-year-old child accidentally ate them. No one paid attention to it at the time, but on September 15,
Everyone found that the child of Yang Tiezhu's family no longer had the coughing problem, so they alerted the warriors who knew medicine outside the valley. After examination, they found out that it was because of the flowers in the valley that the child had eaten.
Then, the warrior who knew medicine asked the lady for a flower, tried it carefully, and found that it could speed up his practice.
In this way, the story spread, and later it was discovered that the wild grass in the valley had the same effect, but the effect was slightly weaker. If it weren't for Mr. Yu's strength, those people outside would probably have to break into the valley again."
"Is there such a thing?" Liang Zifeng asked in surprise, then used his mental power to check the plants in the valley.
"It really contains a little bit of spiritual energy, huh?"
Suddenly, Liang Zifeng discovered that there were far fewer fruits in the orchard than before the retreat. Then he discovered that the fruits on the trees contained much more spiritual energy than the wild grasses and flowers.
"Why are there so many fewer fruits? You probably can't eat that much, right?" Liang Zifeng asked with some confusion.
"Uh~" Leng Yuzhao's face suddenly turned slightly red, and he stammered, feeling embarrassed to speak.
"What's going on? Is there anything else happening here?" Liang Zifeng asked curiously when he saw Leng Yuzhao's look.
"Well, actually, the missing fruits were sold by us." Leng Yuzhao lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"Ah? Sold it? Aren't we short of money?" Liang Zifeng asked curiously.
"I didn't sell them for money. I exchanged them for a lot of medicinal herbs and minerals."
"You participated too?" Liang Zifeng looked at Leng Yuzhao with some amusement and asked curiously.
"Yeah." Leng Yuzhao's head almost dropped to his chest. Facing Liang Zifeng's question, he just nodded slightly in response.
"Okay, don't do this again in the future. We can eat those fruits ourselves. They contain a lot of spiritual energy. They are almost spiritual fruits. It's a bit of a waste to exchange them for medicinal herbs and minerals."
"Yes, I understand, sir."
At this moment, Liang Zifeng discovered through his mental power that the third and fourth brothers had returned, and the two were happily discussing their gains.
When the third and fourth brothers saw Liang Zifeng, they ran over happily, and the fourth brother began to show off to Liang Zifeng.
"Second brother, you don't know how popular the talismans I drew are. Those people are vying for them one by one."
"Oh."
"Oh? Second brother, what's your reaction? What if you don't believe it? If you don't believe it, ask third brother. Little sister is also here."
"Why are you two back? Where are my little sister and Xiaobai?" Liang Zifeng didn't notice the little girl and asked with some confusion.
"Oh, my little sister is skiing with the kids in the village, and Xiaobai is watching over them." The fourth brother didn't notice that the subject had been diverted and answered directly.
"Second brother, actually, we can let those kids play in the valley more often." The third brother suddenly said from the side.
"No." Liang Zifeng refused without even thinking about it, then frowned and thought for a while.
"If you want to enter the valley, you must sign a rune contract and become a servant of our Liang family."
"But we don't have a rune contract." The fourth brother said with a disappointed look on his face.
"It's almost done. I've already deduced and designed the Rune Contract. I'll optimize it and then have someone test it. Then it can be used."
"Really? That's great." The fourth brother was immediately happy, and the third brother also smiled.
"Don't be happy too soon. Not everyone can sign a contract. You must pass the test."
"Test? Second brother, how do we conduct this test?"
“At that time, I will set up a formation outside. There will be illusion formations and bewitching formations in the formation, which can infinitely magnify a person’s inner thoughts. With a little guidance, I can test whether a person has malicious intentions towards us.
Therefore, those who can pass the formation are considered qualified, and the remaining tests will be discussed later."
"Oh, how long will that take?"
"Let's wait until the end of the year, then it will be almost ready." Liang Zifeng thought about it and estimated the time.
"Oh, then I'll go talk to my new friends." The fourth brother smiled happily and planned to leave the valley.
"Wait, what new friends?" Liang Zifeng asked curiously.
"They are a few young men who have just entered the rank that I met recently. They are all orphans. They originally planned to come to the valley to become disciples, but they heard that you, second brother, did not plan to accept disciples. They wanted to leave, but they saw that it was safer outside the valley, so they stayed and usually did odd jobs for others."
After listening to this, Liang Zifeng felt that he had to make some restrictions on the situation outside the valley. Otherwise, the flow of people would increase, while the number of people entering the inner layer of the formation seemed to decrease, which was not in his interest.
"Go outside and issue a notice saying that after the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, no outsiders will be allowed to stay within thirty miles of the valley. Only those who have signed a contract will be allowed to stay."
"This..." The fourth brother hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Second brother, is this a bad idea?"
"What's wrong with that? If there are no restrictions, there will be more and more people outside. If something happens, will you take care of it?"
"We can let them manage themselves, just like Yuanshan Village did."
"What are you thinking? What happened to the Council of Elders and the Council of Talks in Yuanshan Village? Some people in it even wanted to give us orders. If they were not from the same village, do you think they would still be alive?"
