Legend of the Gu Demon

Chapter 16: The Art of Controlling People

Crowds of people came in droves,

Ningchen looked at the people in front of him quietly, with playful eyes and a smile on his lips.

"Don't worry, I won't sell your stuff."

After everyone heard this, they felt relieved. After all, all their assets were now in Ningchen's hands, and Ningchen's thought could determine their return.

"But, I have a good proposal, you can listen to it."

"I won't return the land to you first, keep it in my hands, and then plant something. Of course, it's up to me to decide what to plant!"

"You just need to take care of it for me. After the harvest, I have already found a buyer. He is an old man in the village!"

"We can divide the harvested Yuan Stone into 70/30. Of course, if the harvest does not satisfy you, you can always come to me and ask for the fields back!"

Ningchen talked eloquently, convinced him with reason, and moved him with emotion.

How could they not be moved?

"Hmm~ Sounds pretty good?"

"Yeah, at worst, we can just get the fields back when the time comes. We'll make sure we won't lose anything!"

"And we have to trust Lord Ningchen!"

Everyone was indifferent. They were undoubtedly very satisfied with the plan proposed by Ningchen.

And Ningchen also chuckled, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be a bit amused, and the meaning of his smile was unclear.

"Thank you for trusting me so much. I will definitely live up to your expectations and satisfy you!"

"Next, please come with me to the fields."

Ning Shichen laughed loudly and spontaneously walked in front of everyone, walking slowly,

After a long time, in the evening, Ningchen and his party arrived at the field.

The soil was soft and fragrant, and the moist smell of the soil squeezed into Ningchen's nose quite arrogantly.

Looking at the mountains and fields from a distance, Ningchen couldn't help but chuckle.

"This Lin Qing is really greedy. He actually wants to swallow up such a large piece of fertile land!"

He knelt down, gently touched a handful of soil, looked at it carefully with his dark eyes for a moment, then stood up, drank lightly, and asked questions bluntly,

"Do you know the Qingzhu wine in Guyue Village? It is a fine wine brewed from bamboo tubes. It has a dense taste and a long aftertaste. It is truly the best wine in Qingmao Mountain!"

"But the price is also extremely expensive. A jar of green bamboo wine costs two yuan stones."

Hiss~ All the mortals present naturally took a breath of cold air when they heard such a sky-high price. After all, a jar of green bamboo wine requires two yuan stones.

Even if they have never heard of the reputation of Qingzhu Wine, just by looking at the price, they can tell that this Qingzhu Wine is definitely a fine wine.

A jar of wine can be worth the food and drink expenses of four people in my family for two months. It is really expensive!

"But even so, the sales volume of Qingzhu wine among copycats is still considerable."

Ningchen had a slight smile on his face, his black eyes glanced at the frightened mortals, and he spoke slowly,

"And I found out about the raw materials of Qingzhu wine and discussed it with the shopkeeper!"

"Perhaps some of you have already guessed, yes, what we are going to grow is the raw material for this green bamboo wine!"

"But Master Ningchen, what are the raw materials of Qingzhu Wine?"

It was extremely appropriate for a mortal to take the lead and ask questions, and Ningchen also smiled lightly.

"Haha, good question!"

"The raw material of this Qingzhu wine is Qingfeng bamboo. Strictly speaking, it is the Qingfeng bamboo among the Qingfeng bamboos!"

"The Qi Feng Bamboo is long and graceful, with bright green leaves and translucent green leaves, and a fragrant jasper plate all over. It is the top grade among Qing Feng Bamboo."

"And the bag of seeds in my hand is the seeds of Qingfeng Bamboo."

Ningchen casually took out a pack of seeds, and under the influence of Ningchen's previous support, this pack of seeds attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.

"Lord Ningchen, is this the seed of Qingfeng Bamboo?"

"Lord Ningchen, can we really grow that kind of Phoenix Bamboo?"

"Lord Ningchen, have you seen this Phoenix Bamboo?"

Everyone's questions are different, but the same thing is that their interests have been picked out by Ningchen in a few words.

"Don't worry, everyone, I believe you will be able to grow the Phoenix Bamboo!"

"After all, you rely on mountains and rivers, so you naturally have much more experience than me! I will have to rely more on you in this regard in the future!"

Ningchen's compliment made everyone feel good, and the disparity in status made everyone feel a little arrogant.

"Let me ask, have any of you here ever planted bamboo?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, smiled lightly, and spoke softly.

"Lord Ningchen, I have grown bamboo before and know Qingfeng Bamboo very well!"

"Well, starting from tomorrow, you will lead others to plant bamboo here. What is your name?"

Ningchen looked at the middle-aged man with eager eyes in front of him, and cast trust in his dark eyes. However, the man was a little panicked when faced with Ningchen's trusting gaze.

"Lord Ningchen, you can just call me Liu San. With Lord Ningchen's appreciation, I will definitely not disappoint Lord Ningchen!"

"Okay! If you do well, I don't mind giving you a reward. On the contrary, I also don't mind giving you a penalty. It all depends on your performance, understand!"

Ningchen's words were as cold as ice, which also made the joy that had just risen in Liu San's heart fade a lot.

"I understand...I understand, Lord Ningchen!"

"As long as you understand, let's go here today and go home and have a good rest!"

Everyone looked a little tired. After hearing these words, they immediately felt a little happy and dispersed.

The hanging curtain is like ink, and the stars and shadows are mixed,

Ningchen walked leisurely on the path back to the tree house, taking a sip of wine from time to time, which was quite satisfying.

"Well, we can let go of the Yuanshi matter for now. Now it's better to deal with the Haoyu matter."

"That lunatic used to come and bring me cakes from time to time. It seems that her home is not that far away from mine!"

"Perhaps we can find some clues by going to her house."

My heart is like a bright lake, as clear as a fire, so clear and tight.

Ningchen put something in his hand and took a sip of wine in his mouth. It was extremely satisfying. The spicy and spicy water flowed into his throat and gurgled into his stomach, which also brought some warmth to Ningchen.

Returning to the tree house, I prepared some dinner, all of which were gifts from the villagers.

Sitting at the dining table, I casually put some mushrooms into my mouth.

"Hmm~ This mushroom tastes really good."

"However, since Lin Qing is dead, I'd better find a mortal to be responsible for my diet!"

Ningchen chewed the fungi in his mouth calmly and smiled knowingly.

"Winter is coming soon now, and I have just been promoted to the second-level intermediate level. The speed is indeed good, in line with my expectations."

"And in the spring and summer of next year, when the Jia family's caravan arrives, maybe I can be promoted to the second rank!"

"I'm afraid, Qingshu's cultivation level is no longer as good as mine. He has just been promoted to the second level at the moment, and he is still some distance away from me!"

"It's a bit ridiculous to say that the second-level cultivation level can't compare to my third-level cultivation!"

Thinking so, a somewhat mocking smile appeared on Ningchen's face, but his eyes remained calm.

"However, let's deal with this lunatic Haoyu first."

He took a sip of wine, and a few frightening glints flashed in his black eyes...
