Xiezhi was thinking on the side. With the sharpness of the Qingteng Sword, Ji Yuan's swordsmanship, and the changes in the formation formed by the word spirits, there was no formation in the conventional sense at all, because they were all alive and could be said to be unpredictable.
The sword formation formed would probably have unimaginable power even if used by any real cultivator. Who would it be used against? The lowest one would be a real immortal, and it is more likely to be used to deal with more exaggerated changes.
"Ji Yuan, if your sword formation is successful, even a real cultivator using it will be enough to seal off an area of heaven and earth."
Xiezhi said this, Ji Yuan did not comment, while Hu Yun on the side asked curiously.
"Why a real monk? For example... can't I do that?"
Hu Yun pointed at himself, and Xiezhi looked him up and down and shook his head.
"You can not."
"Why? Because I'm not an immortal? But I'm also a cultivator of the demon race!"
Hu Yun had already felt his blood boiling when he heard the little characters talking about Ji Yuan's thunder method bringing down a heavenly calamity. Now when he heard about the sword formation, he suddenly felt that Mr. Xie's words seemed to indicate that the sword formation could be given to others to use. He imagined that if one day he could use the sword formation in a place like the Ten Thousand Demons Banquet where many evil spirits gathered, how cool and majestic that would be.
Xiezhi moved closer to Hu Yun and looked down at the red fox, grinning and revealing a mouthful of pale teeth.
"This is not like throwing a stone. You don't have the magic power to do that. Even if the Green Ivy Sword doesn't hate you and lets you hold it, can you pull it out by yourself?"
Hu Yun sat up and argued.
"The Qingteng Sword will unsheathe by itself, I don't need to pull it out. The little characters are also very familiar with me, and they can fly by themselves, so I don't need to do anything!"
Xiezhi felt like it was just talking to a cow.
"It is necessary to use the magic power of the person who casts the formation. Do you really think that just saying a word will do the trick? Unless you can also arrange a spirit gathering method that is compatible with the sword formation, you should be able to use one-third of the power of the sword formation."
Hu Yun suddenly realized.
"Then I have to practice harder. Using only 30% of my strength is not good enough. I have to use 100%."
The Xiezhi stood up and grinned.
"Even if you have reached a certain level of cultivation, you can only use 50% of your strength at most. Even if Ji Yuan instructs you, you can't use more than half a point. Only in Ji Yuan's hands can you use 100% or even 120% of your strength."
Hu Yun subconsciously looked at Ji Yuan and saw that Mr. Ji had already packed up his pens, ink, paper and inkstone at the table. He did not refute Xiezhi's words at all, and he was suddenly a little discouraged.
But the accountant Yuan suddenly said something.
"Hu Yun, in fact, let Mr. Xie teach you something. He is much more familiar with the cultivation of the demon race than I am."
Hu Yun looked at Xiezhi with some suspicion, feeling the weak magic power from the other party.
"he?"
Hearing the doubtful tone, Xiezhi was not annoyed but just smiled.
"You don't believe me? How can you not believe Ji Yuan's words? For a monster like Niu Batian Lu Shanjun who has already figured out his own path? It would be unnecessary for me to give him advice, but a little guy like you, humph... But why should I help you?"
In fact, although Hu Yun has not yet transformed, his cultivation is not too bad. He is even very desirable. His demonic power is extremely pure. But from the perspective of Xiezhi, he can indeed be looked down upon.
Hu Yun is not stupid at all, nor is he a bachelor. He has remembered everything he heard from the little guys before. Now when he heard Xiezhi say this, he neither refuted nor retorted. Instead, he took out a few gold bars from the big tail behind him.
"I have money, so you don't have to eat the food that the gentleman eats all the time, and you can buy your own food."
"you… "
Xiezhi pointed at Hu Yun? The expression on his face was very interesting. He uttered a word and opened his mouth for a long time without saying anything. I am the great Xiezhi, the ancient mythical beast...
Xiezhi nodded for a long time, then moved closer to Hu Yun again, squinted at the red fox and asked.
"Just these few ingots of gold?"
Hu Yun patted his tail and pulled out a handful of gold.
“There are still many more!”
The Xiezhi grabbed the gold ingots and broken gold from Hu Yun's two claws. It only took a little effort, so why not do it
"make a deal!"
Ji Yuan, who was packing up his writing brushes and ink, was slightly stunned. He thought he still had to help, but he didn't expect Hu Yun to be such a smart guy and bribed the Xiezhi with some gold.
Xiezhi walked to the table with a smile on his face. When he saw Ji Yuan looking at him, he generously bid out two large ingots of gold, which weighed about ten taels.
"Ji Yuan, I will pay you back the money I owe you, and the extra money will be considered as interest."
Obviously, Xiezhi did not calculate the conversion between gold and silver carefully, but even if he gave a little too much, Ji Yuan would not say anything and just reached out to take the gold away.
…
During this period, millions of new citizens of Dazhen have been gradually distributed throughout Dazhen, mostly in the form of villages, but there are also many cities.
It's not that Dazhen built so many houses and even cities in such a short time, but because many of them originally existed on the land boat. Although the land boat was broken, most of these residences were preserved and scattered throughout Dazhen as places to settle the people.
Similarly, these tens of millions of people did not come here empty-handed. Each family already had reserves, and the food pressure was much smaller than the Dazhen officials had originally imagined, and there was even a surplus.
Some of the food and seeds brought by the newcomers became hot commodities. Merchants from all over Dazhen were very interested in them. When the supplies were transported over, they were purchased in large quantities at relatively fair prices under the official supervision of Dazhen, which made these newcomers accumulate their first real money.
"Come, come, take a look, the red taro produced in the outer world is still fresh~~~"
On this day, there were already vendors hawking their wares on the streets of Ning'an County, shouting very hard.
"Everyone who passes by, come and have a look. It's delicious, easy to grow, and has many uses!"
The matter of Dazhen Xinmin has now become a household name. The people of Dazhen privately call them "Tianwai Feimin". It doesn't mean anything derogatory, it's just easy to distinguish and remember. Some merchants buy things from them and add "Tianwai Land" to their name for the sake of publicity. Anyway, it's not really a scam, it's just an exaggeration at best.
This was the first time that such vendors were seen transporting goods to sell in Ning'an County, and passers-by would subconsciously come over to take a look when they heard the noise.
Everyone gathered around to take a look and saw that the merchant's cargo cart was piled high with taro. They were as full as taro but without the rough skin. The red skin looked smooth even with dirt on it.
"Come, let me show you. This is called red taro. It is the main food that the aliens brought with them when they came."
"Uh, is this delicious?"
Someone asked a question, and the vendor smiled and picked up a small one, cut it off many fingernail-sized pieces with a knife, and handed them to the person asking the question.
"Try it, try it. This one can be eaten raw and tastes sweet. It can also be cooked and tastes even better. Try it, try it!"
People took the red taro and put it in their mouths to chew. Many people thought it tasted good. Some wanted to try more but the vendor refused to give them any more.
"Don't blame me for giving you so little. This is really expensive. I bought it at a very high price. You can buy some and cook it at home. It will definitely taste good. Of course, don't cook too much when you buy it. Leave some for later."
"You can't eat more of this?"
When someone asked, the vendor immediately burst into laughter.
"Of course you can eat as much as you want, as long as you're not afraid of getting full or choking. But it's better to save some for seeds!"
An old farmer's eyes lit up, but before he could say anything, someone nearby hurriedly asked about the price.
"How much is this per pound?"
The vendor simply held up five fingers.
"Five cents?"
"What five cents? Fifty cents a pound!"
"What?"
The price was so shocking that everyone's jaw dropped.
"So expensive? Taro is much cheaper than it." "Yeah, what kind of fruit costs fifty cents? This is too expensive!"
"Yeah, yeah, who would buy it if it's so expensive!"
The vendor hurriedly said.
"I'm not asking for too much. We bought them from the official residence of the aliens, and they are already very expensive. I just earn my hard-earned money. If we sell them cheaply, we will lose money. I also said, buy them back to taste them, and use the rest for seeds."
An old farmer hurriedly asked.
"Is this a good seed? Is it easy to survive?"
"It's easy to grow, and it grows easily. It grows in the soil, and if you take good care of it, it will produce a lot. The vines on the ground can also be used to feed pigs, which is better than pig grass..."
"You're not lying, are you?"
"How dare I? This is registered with the government, and not just any business can sell it. If I'm lying, you can go to the government and sue me. Besides, this is Ning'an County, the hometown of scholars. There are many dignitaries who came from here. You never know if any of the elders and villagers here have any relatives with the government officials. How dare I say that!"
"Look, here's the document."
The vendor patted his chest and made a guarantee, while taking out an official document. He might have quoted a slightly higher price, but the item was definitely genuine, and what he said was also said by the official in charge of taking care of the new citizens.
"Okay, give me one... no, give me two pounds!" "I want three pounds, you have to tell me how to breed and grow it."
"Of course, of course. How can I not say this?"
After some words, the vendor got back to work.
"I only want ten kilograms. I'll buy it and cook it to taste."
A young man said this and readily took out a dozen coins as money. The vendor took the money with a smile on his face, packed the sweet potatoes and gave him a sack as well.
A moment later, the young man transformed by Hu Yun returned to Ju'an Pavilion and showed off what he bought.
"Mr. Ji, Master, Madam Zao, I bought a rare commodity called red taro."
Hu Yun held the sack in his hand, closed the door and trotted into the yard. Ji Yuan looked at the Xiezhi. This thing was the sweet potato in his previous life. He had seen it in the Demon Cave. He didn't expect it to become a hot commodity.
These sweet potatoes have been sold to Ning'an County, which means that those millions of people have officially begun to integrate into Dazhen.
