Chapter 461: Big Deal

After the fine iron door is raised, there is a wide passage behind it, which can roughly accommodate a truck.

Entering the city along the passage, the scenery in front of you suddenly becomes clear.

Looking up, there is a huge lake ahead, with a light mist covering the surface of the lake. In the mist, a simple building is looming, looking like it is in a fairyland.

"How about it? This is Qiaoxian Lake, the birthplace of Ruoye River. In the past two thousand years, few people with foreign surnames have come here. You are one of the few who can come here."

Seeing Chu Yang staring intently, Wei Yongyuan said with some pride.

Chu Yang nodded: "I thought the source of Ruoye Creek was just a mountain spring at best, but I didn't expect it to be such a big lake."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the lake."

Wei Yongyuan put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "There will be something more surprising to you later."

"good."

Chu Yang followed closely and walked toward the lake.

On the way to the lake, Chu Yang observed the surrounding situation and found that Lingxi City was built around Qiaoxian Lake, like a ring within a square.

After walking about fifteen or six meters, the two of them arrived at the lake.

Chu Yang was very interested in the buildings in the middle of the lake, and looked over there with sharp eyes.

"Huh?"

When he saw the scene in the middle of the lake, he was slightly surprised.

Wei Yongyuan turned to look at him and asked, "Why, did you see something interesting?"

"It turns out that this wooden house was built on an island in the middle of the lake. I thought it was floating on the water."

Chu Yang saw clearly the island shrouded in the center of the lake through the heavy fog.

"My eyesight is really good."

Wei Yongyuan couldn't help but nodded and said: "This island in the middle of the lake has been shrouded in cold fog all year round, and only a small part of it is exposed to the water, so it is difficult for ordinary people to discover its true appearance. But you can see through the situation with just one word, which really makes me a little bit confused. surprise."

Chu Yang asked strangely: "Didn't you just say that this lake is very deep? Why is there an island in the center?"

Wei Yongyuan said mysteriously: "Take a closer look at this island and see if you can find anything strange. If you can't find it, I'll tell you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang turned his fiery eyes again and looked towards the island.

At this sight, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Isn't this unscientific? This island can still float in the water?"

Chu Yang shouted in disbelief.

"The facts are before our eyes, there is nothing unscientific about it."

Wei Yongyuan burst into laughter, obviously very satisfied with Chu Yang's reaction.

"That's true."

Chu Yang suppressed the surprise in his heart, gathered his spiritual energy into his eyes, and used his fiery eyes with all his strength. His gaze penetrated the layers of fog and stared at the island in the center of the lake.

After a long time, he finally saw some clues, and he couldn't help but said with relief: "It turns out that this island is hollow, and the rock mass is filled with countless bubbles, which can support the island to rise to the surface of the water."

"You can see this too?"

Wei Yongyuan was still thinking of showing off, but he didn't expect that Chu Yang didn't even have to go to the island to see it before he discovered something fishy.

This island in Qiaoxian Lake has existed since ancient times. Its history can be traced back to ancient times. It was regarded as a miracle by the Wei family. It was not until modern times that after many scientific demonstrations, the reason why this island can float in the water was found. But Chu Yang could spot the problem with just his naked eyes, obviously using unusual means.

Chu Yang didn't mind showing off his abilities, but he still needed to be humble in front of Wei Yongyuan, saying: "It's just some ordinary qi-gazing techniques. I can barely see some differences. Grandpa, don't be surprised."

"Could it be that this is also passed down to you by your ancestors?"

Wei Yongyuan is very envious. If he had such an opportunity, he would have advanced to the Golden Core stage long ago.

This question is a little difficult to answer. Chu Yang said vaguely: "That's not true. I learned the art of gazing by chance. I have only scratched the surface of it now."

"Um."

Wei Yongyuan nodded and said, "Do you still remember what those clan elders said earlier?"

Chu Yang thought for a while and felt that there was nothing to think about what the clan elder said, so he said: "I remember it all. Is there anything you want to remind me, grandpa?"

"I brought you here today, firstly, to show you the mysterious place of Ruoye Creek, and secondly, to give you an understanding of the strength of the Wei family."

"I should know almost everything about the Wei family, right?" Chu Yang didn't understand. He had already figured out the strength of the Wei family. He even knew who in the family was going to advance to the foundation building stage. No. Doesn’t it need more elaboration?

"That's nothing."

Wei Yongyuan shook his head, pointed forward, and said, "Look ahead, that is the biggest secret of my Wei family!"

Following the direction of his finger, Chu Yang looked forward. When he saw the vibrant green in the distance, he was surprised and said: "So many elixirs!"

"Yes, in addition to protecting the clan members in times of danger, this city now has another purpose, which is to protect the elixir cultivated by my Wei family."

"Is it all here?"

After Wei Yongyuan's reminder, Chu Yang realized that all the plants in the city were elixirs. He hadn't looked carefully before and thought they were green plants for landscaping.

Calculated according to the length and width of the city, the city's area is at least ten or twenty acres. However, a large amount of space is occupied by Qiaoxian Lake in the middle, and the remaining area is not very generous.

However, except for the houses on both sides of the city gate for the guards to stay, the remaining area in the city has been planted with elixirs. A rough calculation shows that the planting area is at least two or three acres. Calculated based on at least ten elixirs per square meter, this city has There must be tens of thousands of elixirs planted!

"hiss!"

After calculating this detailed account, Chu Yang couldn't help but be shocked. No wonder Wei Yongyuan said that he wanted him to see the strength of the Wei family. Now that he saw the pellets of elixir, he was really impressed.

Since the Jiang family took control of the elixir channel, the elixirs produced in various places in Jiangzhou have been gradually collected. After profit distribution, more than two hundred elixirs were left in Chu Yang's hands. This made him smile with joy. I couldn’t close my mouth from ear to ear.

What I didn't expect was that the Wei family was so wealthy. They only planted tens of thousands of elixirs. If you include those stored elixirs, wouldn't it be an astronomical figure?

Perhaps seeing Chu Yang's thoughts, Wei Yongyuan sighed: "Your uncle should have told you that seventeen years ago, the Wei family was facing internal and external troubles. In order to save the crisis, I contacted the Huashan Immortal Sect, and finally with a huge The price was to receive the protection of the Huashan Immortal Sect. This price was to pay tribute to the Huashan Immortal Sect in large quantities of elixirs every three years. Therefore, during that time, the clan was very difficult, and even the monks in the clan were unable to practice.

As a last resort, I had to ask your mother to go to Jiangzhou to collect the elixir. Fortunately, she was smart and smart. After several years of planning, she finally provided what the clan needed. Over the years, the situation in the clan gradually improved, and we were finally able to breathe. One breath.

After that lesson, the tribesmen all understood the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace, so they tried their best to accumulate elixirs in case of emergency needs. However, it is not easy to store elixirs, and those that cannot be used will be wasted. In order to solve this problem, I asked people to I began to study the technology of planting elixirs. After years of exploration, I finally solved a series of problems. The elixirs you see in front of you were all planted in the past ten years. "

Chu Yang clicked his tongue and marveled: "It turns out that elixirs can also be cultivated artificially. This is a good idea and captures the essence of sustainable development!"

Wei Yongyuan hesitated for a moment, seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "There are 13,546 elixirs in total. I plan to give one-third of them to you. What do you think?"
