Chapter 629
Since he had promised Tianyu, he naturally had to see it through. Wei Yuan summoned True Person Chuhe and had him survey the entire oasis's fields and hydrology to study how to plant mulberries and raise silkworms.
Upon hearing this, True Person Chuhe's spirits were lifted. He had never seen such a landscape—hot and dry, yet with abundant underground water—and it was clear there would be many new species. He immediately led over a hundred assistant disciples, splitting up to head in all four directions, and began working with great enthusiasm.
Wei Yuan discovered by chance that True Person Chuhe's sect had grown quite a bit. These disciples did not meet the standards to enter the Grand Void Palace and were considered the old Daoist's private apprentices.
Wei Yuan carefully checked the backgrounds and cultivation content of the apprentices; most of them practiced the few major foundation-realm techniques created by the old Daoist, such as the 【Six Paths A-B Divine Wood Qi】 and 【Origin Heaven Nurturing Spirit True Immortal Water】.
The old Daoist had also additionally created a 【Mysterious Heaven Spirit-Governing Vitality Soil】 foundation, which currently only two people had successfully cultivated. This foundation was not only adept at communicating with spirit beasts but also made tilling the soil extremely easy.
These two were responsible for raising guinea pigs, ensuring there was no shortage of ingredients on the old Daoist's dining table. At the same time, they were also highly skilled at land reclamation, leading hundreds of guinea pigs to till thousands of acres of land in a single day.
Seeing this, Wei Yuan felt quite helpless and immediately ordered the prioritized promotion of these three foundations created by the old Daoist, offering extra rewards to ensure that over a hundred people would choose these three foundation templates in the upcoming foundation training.
After arranging matters for the old Daoist, Wei Yuan went to find Tianyu. He saw Tianyu looking sorrowful, lying on the bed drinking sullen wine with Xu Wenwu.
As soon as Wei Yuan entered and saw the atmosphere, he couldn't help but be stunned; he truly didn't understand why these two were worrying. Back in the day, when Xu Wenwu failed five out of six courses in one semester, he hadn't seen him this sad or upset.
Seeing Wei Yuan, Tianyu hurriedly beckoned: "Come, drink a few cups with me! Since we are brothers today, we must drink to our heart's content and be carried out horizontally!"
Wei Yuan immediately felt a headache. With his current formidable Dharma body, he could drink several barrels of ordinary strong liquor without feeling a thing; only spirit wine with Dao power would do. Therefore, Wei Yuan wasn't afraid of drinking with a Power Shaman, but rather felt pained for the wine.
"There is a contract for you to sign. What's wrong with you, suddenly in a bad mood?"
Tianyu pointed to his lower body. Wei Yuan looked and saw a patch of granulation tissue growing at an extremely slow speed.
Tianyu sighed: "Sigh, don't mention it. Without the pressure of life and death, this physical body of mine has started to slack off, and the growth speed has slowed down. Moreover, once the physical body is fully grown, it still needs to be tempered again. During this time, I can only guard an empty room alone."
Wei Yuan was quite surprised, and only after carefully inquiring did he learn that the little beautiful Shamans Tianyu had chosen in the past were all physically strong, with bodies like iron. With the frailty of his newly born physical body, once he had intimate relations with the little beautiful Shamans, it would be very easy to be excessively compressed, leading to a major accident.
However, Wei Yuan couldn't help with this matter, so he turned to ask Xu Wenwu.
He saw this fatty say with a deep expression: "Whenever I drink, I think of the white moonlight in my heart. I don't know if she is doing well after I left..."
Wei Yuan was well-acquainted with Xu Wenwu's romantic history and didn't know which one he was talking about. This guy had quite a few "white moonlights"; basically, anyone with a bit of beauty had once been his white moonlight. And it seemed that no matter which one it was, Xu Wenwu's departure wouldn't cause any impact on her; perhaps she wouldn't even know Xu Wenwu was gone for a long time.
Wei Yuan was truly speechless at these two, took out a piece of paper, and handed it over: "Come, be good, sign it."
Tianyu held down the jade paper and said: "I have another troubling matter..."
Wei Yuan had no choice but to listen patiently.
It turned out this guy had taken a fancy to another little beautiful Shaman, but the little beautiful Shaman only loved young men and not money, and was particularly principled, not currying favor at all, scolding Tianyu until he was drenched in blood. Tianyu felt that he had nothing but money now, so he was particularly decadent.
Wei Yuan threw this matter to the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, not knowing which "Crouching Dragon or Fledgling Phoenix" came up with an idea. Wei Yuan didn't think too much about it and read it directly:
"... Is this matter not simple? You go find her best childhood friend, bosom buddy, or whatever, and throw piles of immortal silver at them, making them live much better than that little beautiful Shaman. It won't be long before that little beautiful Shaman feels unbalanced in her heart, voluntarily submits to you, and then forces you to drive all those cheap Shamans away."
Upon hearing this, Tianyu's entire physical body was shocked: "Wei Yuan, so you aren't a good person either! I couldn't have thought of such an insidious scheme..."
Wei Yuan realized something was wrong after reading it, thinking to himself that he would have to give a heavenly thunder to the one who came up with the idea later. But there was still serious business at hand, so he moved Tianyu's hand away and said: "Come, sign the contract first."
Only then did Tianyu look at the jade paper: "One million taels of immortal silver in exchange for the mining rights of Red Sand Oasis for ninety-nine years???" Then Tianyu looked up, looked at Wei Yuan suspiciously, and asked: "Are you stupid?"
Wei Yuan was expressionless; the sacrificial ceremony that Tianyu's believers in the Human World Renjian Yanhuo had been preparing for a long time was finally approved to begin at this moment.
Tianyu let out a miserable scream and hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop, stop! You aren't stupid!"
After Wei Yuan stopped the sacrificial rite, Tianyu felt that lying just now was a bit inappropriate, so he made up for it: "I mean, you aren't particularly stupid."
Wei Yuan said unhappily: "You don't even want the immortal silver?"
: "This piece of land is equivalent to being given to you; you can dig whatever you want to dig, why waste immortal silver?"
Wei Yuan said: "You are a Shaman who will be a tribal leader in the future; you cannot be so casual in doing things. If you give away mines and land at will because of personal relationships, no amount of ancestral property will be enough for you to squander."
Tianyu looked at the jade paper again and said: "How about, ask for less, ten thousand?"
Wei Yuan was torn between laughter and tears: "Ten thousand? Are you trying to leave behind a bad reputation? Just one million!"
"Still saying you aren't stupid?" Tianyu muttered and signed his name.
!
Wei Yuan said again: "Remember to show it to those ancestors of yours."
As soon as the words fell, the rough voice of the Great Wilderness Sun sounded behind Wei Yuan: "I have seen it, it can be signed. However, there are two conditions: first, exchange a portion of the immortal silver for wine; second, for the storybooks that red-clothed woman is reading, we elders each want ten copies."
Wei Yuan was suddenly in a bit of a dilemma: "There are storybooks, but could you elders change to a different request?"
"No! We want the batch she is currently reading! Why, do you think I am not worthy? Or why don't you call her out, and I will spar with her right now!" The Great Wilderness Sun's voice was like a booming bell.
The Great Wilderness Sun seemed rough, but in fact, he also had small schemes. Zhu Yuanjin was adept at sneak attacks and never fought others head-on. If they really sparred, she would definitely suffer.
Wei Yuan was helpless and had no choice but to take out fifty storybooks, hand them to the Great Wilderness Sun, and guarantee that they were all read by Zhu Yuanjin and had all been rewritten into a Shaman tribe version.
Seeing the Great Wilderness Sun take the storybooks and about to leave, Tianyu hurriedly stopped him: "Old Ancestor, can this contract really be signed? It's ninety-nine years!"
The Great Wilderness Sun said impatiently: "A few hundred years pass in the blink of an eye, what is ninety-nine years? This land was originally intended to be given to him to use; he insisted on giving money, and if you feel awkward in your heart, just find some ancient immortal plant seeds to give as a return gift later."
"However, even if there are good things underground, how much can he dig in this little time? If the things dug out are too few, I will naturally compensate. It's just that the storybooks cannot be fewer!"
"Storybooks..." Wei Yuan was about to speak but stopped.
Half a day later, huge roars rose one after another, echoing throughout the entire Red Sand Oasis.
Several Great Wilderness Shamans were so angry while reading the storybooks that fire was coming out of the tops of their heads; they were angry to the extreme, and their Dao hearts were somewhat lost, but they couldn't bear to put them down, so they read while scolding, and scolded while reading; the booming roars lasted for a whole day.
The next day, the Great Wilderness Sun found Wei Yuan again and said straight to the point: "Give me another fifty storybooks, and I will add one hundred years to the time limit of that contract!"
