Chapter 464: Crossing the River with a Reed

"It's just a few dozen elixirs. Is this worth writing down in your notebook?"

Wei Yongyuan was very dissatisfied with this approach and strongly opposed the fat steward's approach.

"Not even one plant, let alone dozens of plants. I must write this down clearly. Otherwise, if I can't keep track of the numbers, I won't be able to explain it to my clan members. Maybe some people will think that I'm lining my own pockets!"

The fat steward didn't give any face, and kept shaking his head.

"I don't know how to adapt!"

Wei Yongyuan rolled his eyes angrily, but there was nothing he could do. Finally, when he saw Chu Yang coming over, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Chu Yang and said, "Just put the blame on him!"

After hearing this, not to mention the fat steward, even Chu Yang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This is so good, why did it happen to him?

The fat steward knew Chu Yang. Chu Yang showed off his power at the clan meeting today. A person with a foreign surname like him, who has the support of his ancestors, is really not qualified to take charge.

Therefore, when Wei Yongyuan said that Chu Yang was responsible for the blame, the fat steward shook his head like a rattle and refused to agree to anything.

"I asked you, why don't you know how to adapt?"

Wei Yongyuan said angrily: "I've lost dozens of elixirs soon. What's the big deal? I just negotiated a deal with Chu Yang. He plans to use a batch of precious elixirs in exchange for these. When the time comes, you can account for them together." ”

The fat steward glanced at Chu Yang suspiciously and asked, "Clan leader, are you telling the truth or not? What is the algorithm for the elixir?"

"of course it's true!"

Wei Yongyuan said seriously: "Just take the thing and help me write down the type of elixir he wants."

Seeing how serious he was, the fat steward quickly picked up a pen and started writing in his notebook. As he wrote, his expression changed and his hand movements slowed down.

"Write, what do you want me to do?"

The fat steward's questioning gaze made Wei Yongyuan very unhappy.

"Patriarch, please don't fool me. There is no such thing as exchanging high-grade yellow elixir for low-grade yellow elixir. If so, that person must be a fool, or he is just a money-splitting boy!"

The fat steward looked unbelieving.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Wei Yongyuan looked at Chu Yang and said, "People say you are a money-splitting boy. You have to say something. You should be able to afford the loss of this little elixir, right?"

Chu Yang said helplessly: "Then let's blame it on me. I happen to have some elixirs here, so I can use them to offset these damaged elixirs."

After speaking, Chu Yang's spiritual consciousness moved, and seven or eight specially made jade boxes appeared in his hand.

"These are some high-grade yellow elixirs. It should be enough to exchange them." Chu Yang took two steps forward and thrust the jade box into the hands of the fat steward.

The fat steward carefully placed the jade box on the ground, opened the top jade box, and after just one glance, he exclaimed: "Isn't this a Wusheng flower?"

"That's right, this is a flower without flowers, and it's three hundred years old. I don't need to say more about its value, right?" Chu Yang asked lightly.

The fat steward was trembling with excitement. The growth conditions of unripe flowers are harsh, and they are rare in the world.

According to classic records, the Wei family has been circulating for nearly two thousand years, and the number of unripe flowers collected does not exceed one palm, and the age is relatively low. If you take out one at random, it can be worth dozens of high-grade elixirs.

Looking at Chu Yang's unripe flower, it is of excellent quality and has grown for a long time. It can be regarded as the best of the best. Among the elixirs collected by the Wei family, only a few Xuanjie ones can compare with it.

After the fat steward got excited, he anxiously confirmed with Chu Yang: "Are you sure you want to exchange these for the damaged elixirs just now?"

Chu Yang nodded: "Yes, although those elixirs have been damaged, the spiritual power contained in them has not been lost. It is still very valuable to pick them up and process them as soon as possible."

After receiving a positive answer, the fat steward excitedly picked up the jade box and said repeatedly: "Okay, it's settled. After processing, I will deliver it to you personally. I will store these elixirs first!"

Before Chu Yang agreed, the fat steward quickly ran away, as if he was afraid that Chu Yang would regret it.

After the others left, Chu Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa, in order to help you take the blame, my entire family has been emptied!"

Wei Yongyuan glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Stop crying about being poor. Our ancestors don't have any good things. Next time you see him, please order more. Besides, I can use the elixir you just took out, so it can be considered a good thing." If the meat is rotten in the pot, you won’t care about it, right?”

"This... okay"

Chu Yang was really speechless. The person who could be the leader of the clan was really thick and dark. He didn't even blush when he said this. It really refreshed his knowledge.

After looking at the medicine fields in the city, Chu Yang pointed at Hu Xin and said, "Grandpa, what are the houses on the island used for? Can I go and see them?"

"That is a place used for retreat. It is specially used for people in the clan who are in the late stage of Qi refining. If you want to go to the island to have a look, I will have someone row a boat to take you there."

"No need to bother, I can go there by myself."

It was a waste of time to find someone to row the boat. Chu Yang was just happy, so there was no need to make a big deal out of asking for help.

Wei Yongyuan nodded and did not insist on his opinion.

Qiaoxian Lake is so deep that it is naturally impossible to build a trestle to the island in the center of the lake. On weekdays, you can only go to the island by boat.

On his way to the lake, Chu Yang picked up a bamboo pole and weighed it as he walked.

Wei Yongyuan saw Chu Yang's movements and thought that he wanted to use this to row a boat, so he reminded him: "There is an oar on the boat, so there is no need for this thing."

Chu Yang did not throw it away, and said with a smile: "The boat is too slow, I can just use this bamboo pole."

"How do I get across?"

Wei Yongyuan stared at the bamboo pole in Chu Yang's hand.

"Haha, Bodhidharma crossed the river with a reed in the past, and now I, Chu Yang, fly across Qiaoxian Lake. I can be considered to be on par with my predecessors."

Chu Yang said with a smile, and threw the bamboo pole into the lake. When the bamboo pole floated to the surface, he stepped back a distance, used the star-chasing and moon-stepping body skills, and suddenly rushed into the lake.

"This!"

Wei Yongyuan didn't have time to exclaim, and saw Chu Yang step hard on the shore, and then his body soared into the air, passing over the lake like a flying man.

When his body was about to fall into the lake, his body position was just above the bamboo pole. Chu Yang lightly tapped the bamboo pole with his right foot, and took advantage of the buoyancy of the bamboo pole rebounding when it entered the water to fly again. After a moment, he landed steadily on the island in the middle of the lake.

The island in the middle of the lake is at least 50 meters away from the shore. It was also Chu Yang's first time to fly such a long distance. Fortunately, the first attempt was a complete success, and he did not embarrass himself in front of Wei Yongyuan.

"Grandpa, my body skills are not bad, right?"

Chu Yang turned around and asked loudly.

Wei Yongyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Young people are brave. If you fall into the lake, you will be fed to the fish."

Chu Yang chuckled a few times and asked: "Do you want to come over and I will go to row a boat to pick you up?"

"No, I'll wait for you here." Wei Yongyuan didn't know how many times he had come here, so he was naturally not as curious as Chu Yang.

"Okay, I'll go back after the tour."

Chu Yang agreed and turned to look at the buildings on the island.
