Chapter 498: Go with the flow and get the name right

Yang Zhengshan remembered reading records about Xingyuan Fruit.

He rummaged around and found the record of the Xingyuan Fruit Tree.

The Xingyuan Fruit Tree, shaped like a jujube tree, takes thirty years to mature. After it matures, it will bloom and bear fruit every year. A Xingyuan Fruit Tree can bear fruits ranging from 300 to 1,000 pieces a year.

Xingyuan Fruit has the miraculous effect of replenishing Qi and blood. It can quickly restore vitality and heal injuries. It is a rare holy fruit for healing.

At the same time, Xingyuan Fruit can be mixed with more than ten kinds of precious medicines to refine the True Yuan Pill. The greatest effect of the True Yuan Pill is to increase the innate warrior's accumulation of true energy. A true essence pill is almost equivalent to the true energy accumulated by an innate warrior after three years of practice.

Seeing the effect of Xing Yuan Dan, Yang Zhengshan's eyes suddenly lit up.

One True Essence Pill is equivalent to the True Qi accumulated in three years of cultivation?

What Yang Zhengshan lacks most now is the accumulation of innate true energy. If he has a few true essence pills, he will soon reach the level of Qi control.

"Is this news true?" Yang Zhengshan turned to look at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng shook his head, "I don't know, many people are talking about this, but no one can confirm whether it is true or not!"

He just heard it from hearsay. He didn't know the source of the news, and he couldn't determine whether it was true or false.

"Where is Cuixia Valley?"

Yang Zhengshan asked again.

Wu Zheng said: "The northern part of Sangzhou Prefecture is about five hundred miles away from Kyoto!"

More than five hundred miles is not that far, but three hundred miles south of Kyoto is the mountains and mountains, more than five hundred miles away. In other words, the Cuixia Valley is deep in the mountains.

Will there be spiritual fruit trees in Wanshan Ridge?

There is no doubt that the answer is yes.

There are many legends about Wanshan Ridge in Da Rong, and some people actually found the spiritual fruit tree in Wanshan Ridge, but that was a long time ago.

As for whether this rumor is true or not, Yang Zhengshan thinks it is most likely false.

If someone discovers the spirit fruit tree, they will never tell it to the public. The most important thing to do is to quietly wait for the spirit fruit tree to mature.

Leave when the spiritual fruit tree matures, and then come back the next year to stay.

Because the spiritual fruit tree is no different from an ordinary tree before it bears fruit, but it may be slightly unique, making it difficult for people to recognize what kind of tree it is, and there will be no strange phenomena or the like.

However, you can see the difference after the results. Most spiritual fruits will have a faint halo on their surface. The closer they are to maturity, the more obvious the halo will be.

So after discovering the spiritual fruit tree, the best way to deal with it is to wait for it to mature.

Although Yang Zhengshan felt that the news was probably false, he still planned to send someone to take a look based on the principle of preferring to believe what is true rather than what is not true.

"Go to Cuixia Valley and have a look. Ask Luo Jinsong for more help!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Here!" Wu Zheng did not hesitate and immediately took over the task.

…

Regarding the rumors about the Xingyuan Fruit Tree, Yang Zhengshan just wanted Wu Zheng to try his luck. But things developed far beyond his expectation.

On the third day after Wu Zheng led his people to leave Kyoto, the rumors about the Xingyuan Fruit Tree in Kyoto became more and more intense. Countless warriors in the world spoke of it with certainty, as if they had actually seen the Xingyuan Fruit Tree.

At first Yang Zhengshan thought these people were spreading rumors, but Yang Zhengshan suddenly received a summons from Emperor Yanping.

When he hurried from the Yanwu Pavilion to the Tai Chi Hall in the Imperial City, he found that the Marquis of Jianchang Zhang Luan was already waiting outside the Tai Chi Hall.

Zhang Luan, the Marquis of Jianchang, is over seventy years old this year, but he looks almost fifty.

He has a rough face, a tall figure, and a bold spirit.

"Master Yang! You are going to the martial arts pavilion again!"

Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming, Zhang Luan smiled.

"Yeah." Yang Zhengshan nodded.

Zhang Luan came to his side and said with a smile: "Give me a few jars of your Baicao Bean! I will exchange it for you with precious medicine!"

Yang Zhengshan broke out in a sweat. After Yang Chengmao's wedding, his Baicao Brewing became famous among the elite circles in Kyoto, and even the efficacy of Baicao Brewing was rumored to be miraculous. As a result, many people have recently asked him for Baicao Brewing.

Although he brewed a lot of Baicao wine, he couldn't help but have people like this come over and ask for it.

With no other choice, he could only refuse.

But these people still didn't give up. At first, some people just wanted money to buy it. Yang Zhengshan naturally wouldn't exchange Baicao Brewing for money. Later, these people directly exchanged the precious medicine.

However, the precious medicine is precious, and not everyone is willing to exchange the precious medicine for Baicao.

Yang Zhengshan smiled helplessly, "Let Mr. Zhang send someone to pick it up from my house later. Let's agree first that there are only three altars. If there are more, there will be no more!"

If it were someone else, he would just refuse, but it was really hard for him to refuse Zhang Luan.

Because Zhang Luan just sold him a favor not long ago, he wrote letters of recommendation for Hengdaomen and Jing'an Shang family. Now Hengdaomen is listed as one of the eight major sects, and many people from Jing'an Shang family have joined Liaoyuan Shangwu Division.

Although these are not all Yang Zhengshan's face, Zhang Luan can be regarded as taking care of Yang Zhengshan's face to a certain extent.

"Hahaha, it's easy to talk about. One precious medicine and three jars of wine. If you still have wine in the future, you can exchange it with me!" Zhang Luan said with a smile.

He drank Baicao Niang, not at the wedding banquet, but at that drunkard An Yuxing's.

The wine that even An Yuxing praised must be a rare wine.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The price of one precious medicine and three jars of wine really made him excited.

How many Baicao brews has he given away before?

There should be three to five thousand altars!

After all, the Yang family has given several jars of Baicao Brewing as holiday gifts in recent years.

"Forget the precious medicine, it's my thank you gift to Lord Zhang!"

"That won't do. If you don't want the precious medicine, how can I ask you for wine next time!" Zhang Luan refused without thinking.

Giving the precious medicine is called a transaction, and not giving it is asking for it.

He, the Marquis of Jianchang, is also a man of honor. He can still lose face after asking Yang Zhengshan for it once, but what about the future?

"Then I will give Lord Zhang two more jars of peach blossom wine!" Yang Zhengshan was also speechless.

He had never thought of selling wine, but now it seems that he has to sell it.

In fact, the effects of Baicao wine and Taohua wine are the same. All his wines are brewed with spiritual spring water, so the effects are all from spiritual spring water.

It's just that Baicao wine has a stronger taste and is more loved by old drunkards.

"Haha, then I will be disrespectful!" Zhang Luan laughed.

Just as the two were talking, Chen Zhongshu walked out of the Taiji Hall.

"My two lords, please come in!" Chen Zhongshu still had that smiling face.

"Sorry to bother you, Eunuch Chen!"

The two of them clasped their fists to Chen Zhongshu, and then entered the Taiji Hall from the side door, and then turned into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty!"

The two of them saluted, and Emperor Yanping sat behind the desk with a solemn expression.

"No need to be polite!"     "Have you heard about the Xingyuan fruit tree?"

Zhang Luan and Yang Zhengshan looked at each other, and Zhang Luan said, "I have heard about it, but it should be false!"

Such news has appeared in the martial arts world before, but it was just spread more widely this time, and Zhang Luan did not take it to heart.

"No, it's true!" Emperor Yanping said in a deep voice.

"Really!" Zhang Luan said in surprise.

"Really, the Secret Guard has found the Xingyuan fruit tree in Cuixia Valley!" Emperor Yanping said.

Yang Zhengshan's heart skipped a beat, he had already found the Xingyuan fruit tree!

What would happen if the court found the Xingyuan fruit tree?

The example is right in front of us. The court will definitely want to enclose it like the three yellow plums and not allow anyone to touch it.

It is not difficult to understand why the court does this. A spiritual plant is like a gold mine, which can provide the court with spiritual fruits continuously. With these spiritual fruits, the court can continuously cultivate innate warriors.

So when a spiritual plant appears, the court will definitely grasp it in its hands and obtain the ownership and distribution rights of the spiritual fruit.

"That newly grown Xingyuan fruit tree is the first to bear fruit this year. It has 383 Xingyuan fruits and is expected to mature in another month!" Emperor Yanping said.

Yang Zhengshan and Zhang Luan's faces immediately became solemn.

Emperor Yanping continued: "I just asked someone to find the recipe of Zhenyuan Dan in the Imperial Hospital. The Imperial Hospital envoy Sun Wanzhen said that as long as there is Xingyuan Fruit, he is sure to refine Zhenyuan Dan!"

These words fell on Yang Zhengshan and Zhang Luan's hearts like a bomb.

What does this mean?

This means that as long as Chaotang can control the Xingyuan Fruit Tree, Darong will have a continuous supply of Zhenyuan Pills in the future.

If it is just Xingyuan Fruit, it will not be of much significance to Xiantian warriors. Although Xingyuan Fruit is a holy fruit for healing, Xiantian warriors pursue a higher realm and cultivation.

Zhenyuan Pills are the most suitable for Xiantian warriors and are more important than Sanhuangli.

A Zhenyuan Pill can increase the Zhenqi accumulated by Xiantian warriors for three years, while a Sanhuangli can only increase the Zhenqi accumulated for three months at most.

Of course, the greatest effect of Sanhuangli is not to increase the Zhenqi accumulated by Xiantian warriors, but to calm the mind and condense the Qi and connect the meridians. Its greatest effect is to allow acquired warriors to condense the Xiantian Zhenqi and allow half-step Xiantian warriors to advance to the Xiantian realm.

For Chaotang, Sanhuangli is as important as Zhenyuan Pills, but for Xiantian warriors, the value of Zhenyuan Pills is far greater than Sanhuangli.

"Your Majesty, the Xingyuan Fruit Tree must be controlled by Chaotang!" Zhang Luan said bluntly.

Yang Zhengshan was also very excited. As long as the court could control the Xingyuan fruit tree, he would definitely get one or two Zhenyuan pills.

He could even cultivate the Xingyuan fruit tree in the Lingquan space by himself, and then get the Zhenyuan pill recipe. When the Xingyuan fruit tree in the Lingquan space grows up, he can even refine the Zhenyuan pill himself.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help getting excited.

Emperor Yanping nodded slightly, "You are right, but the news of the Xingyuan fruit tree has spread. I guess many people will covet the existence of the Xingyuan fruit!"

The existence of Sanhuangli is no secret, but no one dares to go to Sanshan Valley to rob Sanhuangli.

But Xingyuan fruit is different. Xingyuan fruit is deep in Wanshanling, where there is no army guarding it, and there are no many innate warriors sitting there.

The most important thing is that Xingyuan fruit will be mature in a month.

Zhenyuan pill is worth letting innate warriors to take action, and once Xingyuan fruit is mature, it will inevitably attract a large number of innate warriors.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan's eyes flickered slightly.

Some questions emerged in his mind.

Why was the Xingyuan Fruit Tree exposed to the world?

It was said before that if someone discovered the spiritual plant, the most likely reaction would be to wait for the spiritual fruit to mature.

But now the existence of the Xingyuan Fruit Tree has spread all over the world, and even the specific location has been spread.

There is only one possibility, that someone deliberately spread the news of the Xingyuan Fruit Tree.

Who is so generous that he is willing to give up a Xingyuan Fruit Tree?

And what is the purpose of this person, or this force, doing so?

Yang Zhengshan's mind turned, and his eyes fell on Zhang Luan.

What is the purpose?

Once many innate warriors fight for Xingyuan Fruit, the one who will be hit the hardest is undoubtedly the newly established Shangwu Temple!

If the innate warriors of the eight major sects also fight, then the eight major sects selected by Shangwu Temple will be a joke.

Even the eight major sects will stand on the opposite side of the court, so how can the many forces in the world obey the orders of Shangwu Temple obediently?

At that time, the Shangwu Order will become a piece of waste paper, and the sect level assessment will become a laughing stock.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan's expression became extremely ugly.

The Shangwu Order is a policy formulated by the court, and he also provided a lot of suggestions in it. If the Shangwu Order fails, it will eventually damage the majesty of the court.

He naturally does not want the Shangwu Order to fail.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be handled carefully!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Oh! Jing'an Hou has other ideas?" Emperor Yanping looked at Yang Zhengshan in surprise.

Yang Zhengshan said the possibility he just thought of.

Although this is just his guess, it must be prevented.

As he spoke, the faces of Emperor Yanping and Zhang Luan became more and more serious.

Just now, they only thought about how to control the Xingyuan Fruit Tree, but ignored the reason why the Xingyuan Fruit Tree was exposed to the world.

After Yang Zhengshan finished speaking, both of them fell into deep thought.

What Yang Zhengshan said may not be completely right, but Yang Zhengshan's concerns are not wrong.

Regardless of whether there is a mastermind behind this matter, as long as Cuixia Valley causes a war among the innate warriors, it will inevitably hit the majesty of the court and undermine the implementation of the Shangwu Order.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Yanping asked: "Does Jing'an Hou have any countermeasures?"

Yang Zhengshan thought for a while, "I have some ideas, but they may not be comprehensive!"

The time was too short, and he hadn't thought about it carefully, but since Emperor Yanping asked, he also said the countermeasures he had just thought of.

"I think the court can take advantage of the opportunity to win over all the innate warriors under the jurisdiction of the court!"

"What do you mean?" Emperor Yanping didn't understand.

Yang Zhengshan's mouth curled up slightly, and his thoughts became clearer. "Give all the innate warriors a salary, one Sanhuangli per year, and one Zhenyuan Pill per year!"

As the saying goes, if you take someone's salary, you will be short-handed, and if you eat someone's salary, you will be soft-handed.

If you take the salary from the court, if you rebel against the court, it will be unjust and unreasonable.

Why is the court afraid of those innate warriors' rebellion now? Because the court has not given them any benefits.

Although all the innate warriors in Darong are registered in the court, they actually do not get too many benefits from the court.

In layman's terms, the spoils are not evenly distributed.

Take the Sanhuangli for example. The innate warriors in the three valleys can get three per year, and the innate warriors of the noble families can get one per year. The rest all go into the emperor's treasury and are given by the emperor to his meritorious ministers.

The Jianghu warriors don't even have the chance to smell it, so they will naturally be dissatisfied with the court.

Of course, the court had no choice before. There was only one Sanhuangli tree, and it only produced fifty pills a year, so it was impossible to take care of every innate warrior.

But now it’s different. There is now one more Star Yuan Fruit tree in the court, which can fully take care of every innate warrior.
