Mountains and giant beasts, cabins in the woods

Liu Xingmo walked on the peach tree branches, leaves brushing against his clothes, and morning dew slipping from the tips of the leaves.

He has lived in this tree since he was a child.

He clearly remembered the direction of each branch and which branch bore the largest and most beautiful fruit.

Unsurprisingly, this year the slender branches in the middle and upper parts of the southeast are also laden with large, bright red nectarines.

Liu Xingmo hopped and skipped, maintaining a delicate balance, until he reached the vicinity of his target.

Use a lasso to lasso the fruit, then pull hard. The ripe nectarine offers little resistance and falls obediently.

Liu Xingmo pulled it over and wedged it into a branch. This peach tree was round and plump, about half a person's height.

Liu Xingmo wiped the shiny fruit peel with his clothes, then took out a knife and cut off a crescent-shaped piece.

The peach flesh is white with a hint of pink. When you open your mouth and suck on it, the sweet juice slides over your tongue; when you bite into it, the soft and tender flesh fills your mouth.

This year, the peaches on this tree are of exceptionally high quality, with nearly 300 peaches.

Normally, the large nectarines harvested would be taken to the market to sell, while the ones of poor quality would be made into dried fruit and used to feed insects.

Now, thanks to its owner, this old tree has been transformed into a tree of exceptional quality.

If Baohei and Fuhei have the opportunity to advance to the fourth or even fifth rank, this tree might be able to transform into a rare and extraordinary seedling.

Thanks to the improved varieties of these fruit trees by the master of wood cultivation, each tree can live for over a hundred years and has the opportunity to meet its own destiny.

Liu Xingmo quickly picked a cart full of nectarines and returned to Zhongcheng with the fruit.

He took a peach pit and went to the Zhongcheng Pharmacy.

He found the familiar window and handed over the peach pit: "Sister, this is something special. Although its effect is slight, it can increase one's luck. Do you accept it here?"

The receptionist frowned slightly: "I need to have someone examine it. Please wait a moment."

A short while later, she returned, beaming: "50 yuan a peach, I'll take as many as you want!"

"Okay, I brought 40 today, you guys go and carry them."

The transaction was settled quickly.

Liu Xingmo now knows that even fourth-tier experts can sense the existence of luck.

It's likely that the water buffalo from the pharmacy bought this batch of nectarines. With his huge appetite, he could eat up more peaches in a day than an average person could in a year.

Liu Xingmo planned to keep 50 nectarines for his family to eat, and sell the rest. Too many wouldn't keep; they spoil too quickly.

Mushroom Burger, and on the lunch table, a table full of peach meat.

"Mary, let's eat as much as we can, don't waste any." Liu Xingmo patted his stomach and forced himself to eat another piece.

Sumari looked suspicious, but still picked up a slice of peach: "Do our peaches have the power of dark magic?"

"Hiccup!" Liu Xingmo burped, the acid in his stomach even smelled like peach juice. "To be precise, it's the power of fate."

"Is it good luck or bad luck? Because it's a peach tree, is it good luck?"

"Neither good nor bad, just pure luck, which is to add a little something to an otherwise mundane daily life."

"What's the use of this?"

"Misfortune and fortune are intertwined. Good luck can make people lazy, while misfortune can temper one's will. People with ambition are willing to increase their luck and gamble on the future. That's called a side quest, hahaha."

"Xingmo, you're saying something nonsensical again." Su Mali took a bite of peach, rolled her eyes, and said, "Also, eat less. Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?"

"I can still eat!"

Liu Xingmo forced himself to eat as many peaches as possible, and he even used laxatives because his current fortunes were not optimistic.

Inside the animal pen, Baohei and Fuhei were also busy eating peaches.

That piece of Tai Sui is truly terrifying; we must go all out to suppress it.

Five days have passed. All the nectarines on the tree have been harvested, earning more than 12,000 yuan, which also helped improve the luck of Liu Xingmo, Bao Hei, and Fu Hei.

Just yesterday, most of the refugees from Yin chose to stay, while the rest followed the caravan back to their hometown. Some of them will return to Heilongzhai after delivering the message.

They were nearing graduation, and their trip to the Xing'an Mountains was their internship assessment. Now that they've found good jobs, it doesn't matter whether they go back to school or not.

They were only afraid of becoming slaves to the soul imprint because of rumors. After living with them for a while, their fear dissipated, and they could not resist the temptation of the elixir.

As for the old lady who led the group, although she has also left, she plans to take the lead in cooperating on some large projects in the future.

The development of Heilongzhai is booming.

Pharmacies of all sizes have launched ready-made pills, which are made from inexpensive and miraculous medicines, yet have effects comparable to spiritual medicines, giving first-level cultivators more choices.

Mushroom Castle's Blood and Vitality Potions are of the highest quality and most expensive. They receive a lukewarm response in the market, but can still be sold in small quantities.

It seems there was a problem with the previous plan; we should have gone for a high-end, mass-produced model instead of low-end, cheap products.

As for elixirs made from spiritual herbs, those are expensive and rare handcrafted products, which is another field altogether.

For example, the "One Qi Sword Radiance Pill" made primarily from needlegrass seeds is suitable for auctions or for direct sales to third-tier sword masters.

……

Liu Xingmo stood in his own warehouse, looking at stacks of blood-qi potions, and thought it was time.

I'm going to GG! And I'm going to make sure no one else can GG.

Small pharmacy, don't blame me. The business world is like a battlefield; it's either you or me. This world is so cruel, which is why it's so beautiful.

Wow ha ha ha ha!

Liu Xingmo was pondering his GG lyrics when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Upon opening the door, a cold-faced young man stood in the sunlight, his menacing aura making the temperature drop several degrees.

GG celebrity is here!

It's like a pillow appearing just when you're sleepy; isn't this good fortune?

Liu Xingmo quickly invited the guest into the house: "Yizhu, come in and have a seat."

Three incandescent bulbs illuminated the hall, where a solid wood sofa and coffee table sat in the corner. The host and guests took their seats.

Liu Yizhu didn't stand on ceremony: "Liu Xingmo, I have something to discuss with you."

"Let's be frank, we're all friends." Liu Xingmo poured water from the thermos to make tea.

"Okay," Liu Yizhu said bluntly, "What do you think is the most profitable thing to do?"

What a coincidence! Of course, it's to help me endorse the medicine.

Liu Xingmo poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "What's wrong? Is the patrol team having a tough time lately?"

"Yes. There's a strict order from above: no hunting of major wild animal groups. Anyone who disobeys will be executed," Liu Yizhu said quietly. "It's been two months now, and the patrol teams are unable to hunt, essentially in a state of semi-disbandment."

"There's a war going on at the border, there's nothing we can do about it." Liu Xingmo understood and advised, "Most of the forces in the Xing'an Mountains have formed an alliance, we can't betray our allies."

"So you knew all along." Liu Yizhu took a sip of tea. "That's why I came to ask you, what are some ways to make money?"

I see. Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish.

The top genius of Black Dragon Village came today seeking fishing gear, not one or two large fish.
