Chapter 207: Trip to Bashu

"Kai'er, you have to trust your mount. It's not an ordinary horse, it's a divine horse. Leave everything to it!" Hua Zichen comforted Hua Kai and said, looking at the difficult mountain road in front of him.

Hua Kai nodded. He had experienced the strength of Luma in the [Family Secret Space]. His cooperation with it completely lowered the performance of Luma. Luma was much stronger than him. Hua Kai held the saddle tightly and waited for the performance of the divine horse.

I saw [Tianlongju] taking the lead. It aimed at the mountain road ahead and ran up with all its strength. A few jumps were dozens of meters. This mountain road did not cause any obstacles to it. Hua Kai was worried that [Tianlongju] would climb the cliff. He saw him rushing along the cliff. The horse's hoof landed on the cliff and a barrier flashed under its hoof. [Tianlongju] carried Hua Zichen and luggage weighing nearly 300 kilograms and climbed the cliff as if it were walking on flat ground.

Dilu followed closely behind, climbing more than 1,000 meters. Hua Kai saw that Dilu had begun to sweat and began to breathe heavily. [Tianlongju] found a big rock to rest and jumped on it, and Dilu followed closely.

Just now, it was ten minutes of rushing on the cliff, which Hua Kai could not finish in an hour. After a short rest for ten minutes, he continued on his way. Hua Kai experienced the power of the divine horse for the first time. The high mountains and obstacles were like flat ground in front of them. This was not bragging.

Fortunately, the Qinling Mountains did not always need to cross the cliffs. After all, this kind of dangerous road was rare. When they reached the flat ground, the divine horse's speed increased significantly. After walking for four days in a row, they had walked thousands of miles, but they slowly entered the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

"I finally saw the 800-li Qinchuan. It would be good for ordinary people to walk to Bashu in a year, and there are still wild beasts here." Hua Kai and Hua Zichen stopped to rest and said to Hua Zichen.

"We should have just entered the depths of the Qinling Mountains. We must pass through the next thousand miles quickly. If we find something wrong, we must quickly enter the space to hide. There are many monsters here, and we must be particularly vigilant." Hua Zichen said to Hua Kai.

Yesterday they saw a monster, but the monster was not fast and could not catch up with the speed of the Shenjun. Today they saw a giant eagle again, and they quietly hid behind the woods to avoid the opponent's attention.

Ordinary wild beasts cannot catch up with the speed of the Shenju. If there is any danger, Hua Zichen will deal with it. Hua Kai just sits on the back of the Lu horse and lets him carry him to run continuously.

At noon, they said to beware of monsters. In the afternoon, they stayed in a mountain stream and saw a huge tapir bear. It was a dominant existence among monsters. Hua Zichen saw that the opponent seemed to have discovered them, so he rode the [Tianlongju] and entered the [Family Secret Realm Space] as soon as possible. Hua Kai also hurriedly hid in when he saw this.

Each of the three trial spaces can only enter one person at a time. Hua Zichen entered the [Physical Training Secret Realm] and Hua Kai entered the [Strength Training Secret Realm].

Seeing that Luma was sweating, Hua Kai hurriedly left the space. He saw that his fifth uncle had not come out yet, so he hid under a big tree and waited quietly.

It is generally difficult to find beasts without exercise. Last year's wolf disaster also had a great impact on the Qinling Mountains. The number of many ordinary wild beasts decreased sharply, and the number of wild beasts also decreased a lot, which made it more difficult for monsters to hunt. However, for adventurers crossing the Qinling Mountains, this is a good thing.

Half an hour later, Hua Kai saw his fifth uncle coming out of the [Family Secret Realm Space]. The two of them hid under a big tree to avoid danger and feed the divine horse with fine feed. The tapir bear just now seemed to have at least the strength of an intermediate monster beast, which is the strength of the seven great lords of the Central Plains. No monster beast dared to come to the place where it passed in a short time, which made the next journey of the two people much easier.

In this way, the two relied on the speed of the divine horse and traveled for more than ten hours in the Qinling Mountains every day. At night, they did not have to keep watch and could rest well. The divine horse was extremely intelligent and could eat grass by itself when resting. When they encountered a strong crisis, the two of them hid in the [Family Secret Space]. On September 23, they had already left the Qinling Mountains, and the mountains in front of them finally became sparse.

The scenery here in Baguo is indeed very different from that in the Central Plains. Compared with the Central Plains, there are more mountains and waters here. Many cities are built by water, and the urban water conservancy construction is basically large-scale. When Hua Kai saw Wudu City, the people were repairing the moat in the city, and the people in the city were busy harvesting rice!

Although the drought here is serious, as long as they rely on the big river and work hard to irrigate the fields more, the harvest this year is guaranteed. Hua Kai and the Sihai Chamber of Commerce agreed to meet each other in Wudu City. After entering the city, they quickly found the branch of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.

"Master Hua, our president has told me everything. Because time is urgent, the price of grain purchased this time is more than 20% higher than usual. Now we have purchased 1.6 million shi of grain in Wudu City, Pingdu City, Xintong City, Han County, and Shengdu. The largest granary is in Shengdu. If we wait another week until the autumn harvest is over, we can purchase up to 1 million shi."

The person in charge of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce seemed very capable. He told Hua Kai the granary in Wudu City. Hua Kai arrived at the destination and saw that there were still carriages transporting grain in.

Came to the simple small building next to the granary. From here, the guardrail surrounded a large mesh cloth. You can't see what is under the mesh cloth. This is what Hua Kai specially asked the Sihai Chamber of Commerce to prepare.

He came out of the warehouse and came to the small door at the corner of the granary. He took out a key to enter and found that this was the bottom of the cloth funnel. There was a bed and a table in this small house. After entering, Hua Kai took out the [Baoguang Liuli Bottle] and fixed it at the bottom of the funnel, and asked his uncle Wu to arrange people to start loading grain.

Hundreds of strong men carried sacks to the second floor of the warehouse and poured grain into the funnel from a high place. The grain all crowded into the mouth of the [Baoguang Liuli Bottle] along the funnel. Hua Kai only needed to control the [Baoguang Liuli Bottle] to suck the grain into the bottle.

Hua Kai's willpower is now 54 points, which is many times stronger than a year ago. As long as he moved his mental power slightly, hundreds of stones of grain were sucked into the [Baoguang Liuli Bottle]. The porters who were carrying the grain were already exhausted. It took more than six hours to carry hundreds of thousands of stones of grain. In the end, these porters didn't know what was under the funnel that kept holding the grain.

Hua Kai just felt a little tired mentally. He asked his uncle to give each porter 5 taels of silver, which was their monthly income. When these workers came out of the granary, Hua Kai had already returned to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce branch to rest.

After sleeping for two hours, it was already evening. Hua Kai planned to go to the next destination to try to collect all the grain to avoid more trouble.

It was already dark when the two men rode for two hours to Pingdu City, but there were still many people in the city busy harvesting grain. After finding the person in charge of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce in Pingdu City, Hua Kai harvested all the grain in the granary of Pingdu City before dawn the next day.

In this way, the two of them rode nearly a thousand miles a day, transferred to two grain purchasing sites, and could only sleep for about 2 hours a day. By September 27th, they had arrived at Shengdu, the capital of Shu.

Ba and Shu have been at war all year round, but because of the many mountains and rivers, the strength of the two sides is not much different. Ba is slightly stronger than Shu in terms of combat power, but in terms of economy and culture, Shu can beat Ba by several streets.

Shengdu is the largest city in Shu. When Hua Kai arrived at Shengdu City, he was stunned by its prosperity.

It is said that Ba and Shu are medium-sized countries, but Shengdu City has a population of nearly 500,000, and its prosperity is no less than that of Linzi City.

The outside of Shengdu City is surrounded by several large rivers, and there are bridges and farmland everywhere outside the city. This is really a place chosen by God! As long as a few major bridges are guarded, there is no need to worry about wild beasts invading. Shengdu City can have more than one million acres of fertile land. No wonder the people here live richer than Qi. Although this is the case, Hua Kai does not think that this kind of environment is so good. Because there is no shortage of food, the people here lack a kind of fierce spirit. The average qualifications of the people are low. Most of the people on the streets are f-qualified people. There are too few families practicing martial arts than Qi. If such a country is placed in the Central Plains, it would have been destroyed by other countries long ago. Therefore, the population and area of ​​Bashu are larger than Qi, more than 4 times larger than South Korea, but it can only be regarded as a medium-sized country. The Sihai Chamber of Commerce in Shengdu City prepared nearly one million stones of food for Hua Kai. It took Hua Kai two days to store all the food in the [Baoguang Liuli Bottle]. At this time, the person in charge of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce told Hua Kai that there would be about 300,000 stones of food to be delivered in the next two days. A Shengdu city can collect 1.3 million shi of grain, which is enough for more than 500,000 people in the city to eat for more than a year.

This is a huge granary. The land outside dozens of cities in Shu Kingdom alone, as long as it is slightly developed and utilized, can feed more than 20 million people in the entire Shu Kingdom.

There are more than ten countries in this world with a population of more than one million, and no one with a population of more than ten million. The two major families of Bashu can integrate resources to vigorously cultivate qualified young people. It only takes a hundred years for Bashu and the two countries to become a great power that makes the seven hegemons of the Central Plains tremble.

Hua Kai took the opportunity to go to the pharmacy here to have a look. There are many kinds of spiritual medicines here, and the price is more than twice cheaper than that of the Central Plains. He also found many spiritual medicines above the fifth grade here, but the price is not very expensive.

After spending 150,000 gold to buy more than 2,000 kinds of spiritual medicines and various ordinary medicinal materials, Hua Kai learned that there are many spiritual trees in Shengdu City. What made Hua Kai most happy was that he heard the news of [Zhong Lingshu].

[Zhong Ling Tree] can produce [Zhong Ling Fruit], which is the core elixir for refining the ninth-grade elixir [Zhong Ling Pill]. Hua Kai kept the effect of [Zhong Ling Pill] in mind. He saw a [Zhong Ling Fruit] for sale in this pharmacy and only after asking did he know about the [Zhong Ling Tree] here.
