Chapter 63 Jiajiazhai

"Level [-] Water Dragon Gu...Level [-] Mud Gu...wait! There is only Level [-] Territory Gu!"

Qin Yiguan watched intently, looking at the transaction between Jia Gui and the head of the Qin family in the distance.

Among them, the third-level Gu worms alone handled seven, and the second-level Gu worms handled eleven.

When the last four-turn territorial Gu with a body as flat as a disk, yellowish brown all over, with a head and a tail, and four tentacles like curved hooks, all growing around the disk, appeared in Jia Gui's hand, Qin Yiguan was shocked in his heart. It's as if nothing can be added to the extreme.

Once the Territory Gu is planted, it can emit a mysterious power that soaks into the soil and continuously spreads to the surrounding areas. The infiltrated land can be controlled by the Gu master who manipulates it.

In this way, the geographical appearance within the range can be adjusted by the Gu Master at will.

Precisely because of the special power of Territory Gu, it is widely loved by many families, especially in the mountainous Southern Border.Even if you are not good at earth magic, you will still find ways to obtain a level three or level four territory Gu, which will be controlled by the core Gu master of the clan to enhance your control over the region.

Once used in certain key and controversial areas, it will often play a supporting role in conflicts and get twice the result with half the effort.

Level three territory Gu covers a range of twenty miles, level four covers a hundred miles, and level five is even wider.

This is what frightened Qin Yiguan. The Qijiazhai sounds like a bluff, but in fact the seven small families all live in the same sinkhole and are separated from each other for safety reasons.

If the Qin family plants this Level [-] Territory Gu, it will cover almost half of the tiankeng where the Qijia Village is located. Reminiscent of the various conflicts heard among the Qijia Village, then...

"Good boy! It's really Qin Sao Liuhe!"

Qin Yiguan was speechless when he saw the head of the Qin family hand over a smiling elder Gu.

Although he didn't understand how the Qin family, which was just a small family, could shell out so many Yuan stones, he admired its magnanimity.

"Having said that, if I can use Territory Gu to find Yuanquan, I think it will save a lot of trouble!"

Qin Yiguan said thoughtfully.

The Qin family's transaction regarding territory Gu in front of him gave him some inspiration.

Seeing that the transaction in the distance had come to an end, Qin Yiguan, who had no ability to increase his hearing power, only saw the lips and teeth of both parties moving and talking, but could not observe any information. He simply turned into a black shadow and retreated on his own initiative.

……

"Master Jia Gui, I'll take my leave now!"

The head of the Qin family nodded slightly, thinking about the fourth-level territory Gu in the void, his mind was excited and his tone was urgent.

"Well, next time I hope you can give me my share according to the contract."

Jia Gui smiled and stared at the head of the Qin family with deep meaning.

He chose to take a detour to Qijia Village, not just because no caravans had passed by here for a long time and the sales of goods were considerable.The price of Level [-] Territory Gu is naturally considerable, but the head of the Qin family is willing to pay some extra price...

"I won't forget it!"

The head of the Qin family bowed and saluted, and led all the elders to leave.

……

"Come earlier next time!"

"Goodbye!"

A few days later, the reluctant eyes of everyone in the caravan gradually faded away as they left the tiankeng and continued heading north.

Watching the caravan turn into a black dot, the head of the Qin family stood with his hands behind his back and said with determination:

"When the caravan comes next time, Qijia Village... will have been renamed!"

Ten days later, in Hanjiazhai, one of the seven villages, which was also a small family, the Yuanquan in the family suddenly became different.

The Yuanquan first surged violently, and the water column was more than ten feet high, pumping out a large amount of spring water rich in vitality, as if the anger that had been accumulated for a long time was poured out at once at this moment.

The senior leaders of the Han family could only watch helplessly, but there was nothing they could do.

After three days of this, the vitality spring turned into a trickle, with large bubbles emerging from time to time. The spring water was intermittent, dim, and the concentration of vitality was no longer what it was before, which made people feel worried.After another three days, the flow stopped completely.

The spring water, which was originally full of whirlpools and filled with vitality, was reduced to a pool of stagnant water that could no longer make any waves.

At this point, the top management of the Han family fell into panic.

Without Yuanquan, they would become rootless people. No matter how strong they were, they would inevitably decline day by day.

What made them even more indignant was that even though they had clearly ordered the news to be blocked, there were still rumors that the Hanjiazhai Yuanquan had dried up in the tiankeng, causing people to panic all day long.

In Qijia Village, an undercurrent is surging.

At the same time, heading north after half a month, it is late autumn.

The Jia family caravan was dumped at Qijiazhai. The caravan was full of harvests. While getting rid of a lot of baggage, it acquired a large amount of earth path poison materials, poison insects and jade, and arrived at another place on the trade route. Important node - Huotang Mountain!

As its name suggests, Huotang Mountain is a volcano, and it is also an active volcano.

The mountain is more than [-] feet high and is completely black and gray. The dark mountain pass at the top rises into the sky, evaporating a huge amount of mist. It seems to be manufacturing clouds in batches above the blue sky.

But the rolling sounds of lava coming from the top of the mountains from time to time are like thunder and drums, indicating that once this sleeping giant wakes up, it will definitely shock the world.

that's the truth.

The volcano erupts once every few years, and the hot magma flows out from the mountain mouth, red and hot, like soup overflowing, sweeping hundreds of miles around, hence the name Huotang Mountain.

Unlike the expected world of chaos, there are not even a single tree near Huotang Mountain. All the mountains have been developed into terraced fields, and rice is cultivated on a large scale using the ash left behind after the volcanic eruption.

All over the mountains and plains, mortals are harvesting golden ears of rice.

Unlike other cottages where ordinary people farm only for the purpose of self-sufficiency, food farming in Huotang Mountain is a pillar industry. With the help of Gu masters using Gu insects, rice can be harvested three times a year.

A large family, the Yan family, the overlord of Huotang Mountain, can harvest a large amount of grain every year and sell it to southern Xinjiang, becoming one of the largest grain exporters in southern Xinjiang.

Everything has two sides!
The fertile volcanic ash created the Yan family, which benefited from Huotang Mountain and was also subject to it.

The regular eruptions of Huotang Mountain are a gap that Gu Masters cannot cross.

The reason why the Yan family can take root here is naturally because of two things.

After year-round observation of Huotang Mountain and exploration of Gu insects, he gradually worked out a relatively reliable set of guidelines for planning farming and emergency evacuation.

And due to the special complexity and uncertainty of Huotang Mountain, the Yan family's cottage is not located on Huotang Mountain, but on the outside of the mountains, on the edge of the terraces, to avoid direct impact when the volcano erupts.

Due to the frequent destruction of cultivated fields, the Yan family has a lot of demand for soil path Gu insects.

The earth path Gu insects purchased by the Jia family caravan in Qijiazhai were sold in large quantities.

Stopping at Huotang Mountain for several days, the Jia family's caravan unloaded supplies, purchased grain, and filled the carapace of black-skinned fat beetles, ready to be transported away.

Whether it is to fill the Jia family's own food shortage, or to sell it to cottages that are short of food in the next spring, it is a considerable profit.

During this period, Qin Yiguan secretly inquired about the territorial poison.

He didn't expect much, knowing that once the Territory Gu was planted, it could no longer be taken out or moved, so he only planned three turns.

Unfortunately, most of the Gu insect supplies in the caravan were sold out along the way, and there was little leftover. The entire caravan still had some surplus of food, jade, and earthen path Gu materials.

Qin Yiguan had to wait until he arrived at Jiajiazhai before planning.

Five days later, the Jia family caravan set off north again.

A month later, when the first snowfall of winter had just fallen, the Jiajia caravan finally returned to Jiajiazhai.

Looking at the familiar Huanglong River, Qin Yiguan felt emotional.

He is one step closer to heading to Beiyuan!
 The inspiration for Huotang Mountain comes from the Java Island in Indonesia. Interested book friends can search for the "abnormal" agriculture in Java Island.
