Li Mu replied, "The Cultivator Association has the Yuzhou Ding, Qingzhou Ding, Xuzhou Ding, Yangzhou Ding, and Jingzhou Ding among the Nine Cauldrons."
"It's just,"
"There is no trace of the Liangzhou Ding, Yongzhou Ding, Jizhou Ding, and Yanzhou Ding." He Kan Shu Le.
Chen Nan grinned foolishly.
He thought finding the Nine Cauldrons would be an extremely complicated, long, and winding affair.
However.
He never expected that the Cultivator Association would possess five of the Nine Cauldrons.
Adding the Yanzhou Ding he held in his hand.
This meant.
As long as he found the Liangzhou Ding, Yongzhou Ding, and Jizhou Ding, he could protect the world.
Things.
Seemed much easier than he had imagined.
He thought about it again.
And then he understood.
For example, why could the Cultivator Association stand above all beings.
And even change the values and beliefs of the world.
This was likely thanks to the five great cauldrons from the Nine Cauldrons.
After all, the Nine Cauldrons existed to govern the world.
The Cultivator Association obtained five cauldrons.
From a mere perspective of fortune, they held an unparalleled advantage.
Chen Nan looked at Li Mu and said, "The Yanzhou Ding is in my hands. Help me inquire about the whereabouts of the other three great cauldrons."
"Strive to gather all nine cauldrons before overthrowing the Cultivator Association."
"I will do my best."
Li Mu did not dare to promise this matter.
After all.
The Nine Cauldrons had been lost for many years.
Before the appearance of the five cauldrons, the world had no idea of the whereabouts or even any clues to the Nine Cauldrons.
------
With nothing to do.
Chen Nan decided to visit his friends.
So he drove, with He Shanshan, to a village called Qingshangou.
This village was located in the westernmost part of Jizhou, a hundred kilometers from Jizhou City.
Although the journey from the city was not short.
This small mountain village, surrounded by mountains on three sides.
And water on one side.
Had become a preferred destination for many city dwellers for day trips.
The purpose of coming here was simple.
To find Xie Churan.
She and her daughter had left the city.
It was said that they had contracted a reservoir and an orchard in Qingshangou.
And were living a pastoral life of "plucking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, and seeing the southern mountains leisurely."
The pace of life in the countryside was very slow.
But it had a sense of inexplicable stability.
In the words of the internet, it had a "human touch."
------
On the dam of the village reservoir stood a light steel villa.
At this moment, a beautiful figure was dozing on a lounge chair.
She was wearing a white t-shirt and black hot pants.
Her long legs were exceptionally eye-catching.
Especially her figure.
It had grown significantly compared to two years ago.
This person was Xie Ling'er.
She had "acted" Chen Nan when he entered her dream to heal her two years ago.
However.
She had always thought it was a dream.
Compared to the shyness of two years ago, her face now showed a touch of maturity.
Perhaps due to rural life, her skin had turned tanned.
She looked very healthy.
Chen Nan did not disturb Xie Ling'er's sleep.
After all.
His real purpose for coming here was to find Xie Churan.
After all, they had a "Guan Bao" relationship!
This relationship was not something Xie Ling'er could compare to.
Beside Xie Ling'er was a blackboard with the words: Fishing five hundred.
There was also a QR code.
Making money while lying down.
This was truly something else.
"Sister Churan isn't on the dam. She's probably at the orchard on North Mountain. Why don't you go find her there!" He Shanshan said, wearing a sun hat and a floral dress.
She exuded an aura of not belonging to this world.
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you coming?"
He Shanshan snorted and said grumpily, "Would you find me redundant if I went?"
Chen Nan chuckled sheepishly.
Some things were understood between them.
Although they had played together before.
But after returning after two years, they still needed to give each other some personal space.
Thinking this.
Chen Nan walked towards North Mountain in Qingshangou.
It was said that Xie Churan had contracted Qingshangou's reservoir, three mountains, and over a hundred acres of land.
Many fruit trees were planted on the mountain.
It was currently the season for fruits to ripen. As soon as he reached the foot of North Mountain.
He smelled the aroma of peaches drifting in the wind.
Looking up.
The peaches on the mountain were close to harvest time.
There were fuzzy peaches.
Nectarines.
Flat peaches.
And honey peaches.
Chen Nan roughly counted. There were at least five or six varieties of peaches alone.
However.
As it was the second year of fruiting, the peach yield was not high.
This mountain with hundreds of acres of land, with a total yield of less than ten thousand jin.
Working hard for a year.
Even at a market price of five yuan per jin, it would only be fifty thousand yuan.
After deducting land rent.
Fertilizers.
And villagers' wages, it would definitely be a loss.
But Xie Churan was the owner of the largest beauty salon in the city.
Even if she lost some money, it would be a drop in the bucket for her.
Once these peach trees on the mountain produced abundantly.
This mountain alone could bring her a net profit of millions, or even tens of millions.
He casually picked a honey peach, Chen Nan gently peeled off the skin, revealing the light yellow flesh inside.
This kind of peach was not only delicious to bite into, but with a gentle suck, the flesh turned into sweet and delicious juice that entered the mouth. The rich and sweet peach aroma instantly activated the taste buds.
It invigorated the spirit, and then slid down the esophagus into the stomach.
One was not enough.
Chen Nan picked another one, and while eating, he muttered, "I wonder if Churan will be angry if she finds out I ate two peaches."
To be honest.
He had been to the immortal realm for so many years, and he had eaten very few fruits.
Even if he occasionally had some fruits.
Most of them were wild fruits.
How could the taste compare to the varieties carefully cultivated and improved by agricultural experts on Earth?
Just then.
Xie Churan's exasperated voice was heard from a distance: "Tao Dazhuang, you beast, let go of me quickly!"
Then a man's voice said, "Sister Xie, I truly like you. Won't you do me the honor?"
"Get lost, or I'll call for help," Xie Churan said angrily, trying to break free from the man who was hugging her from behind.
However, Tao Dazhuang was burly and strong.
His strong arms were cast from steel and iron.
With her delicate body, she couldn't break free from his embrace.
Tao Dazhuang chuckled sinisterly, "Sister Xie, I've already sent the villagers working in the mountains home. You can scream your lungs out today, and no one will come to save you."
"Sister Xie, I really like you."
"As long as you are willing to be my woman."
"I'll have my father pay you thirty percent of the rent for the reservoir and the barren mountains."
"Isn't that good?"
"Let go of me quickly, I don't lack that little bit of money," Xie Churan said indignantly. Tao Dazhuang was the son of the village chief Tao Zhigang. After graduating, he couldn't find a job and stayed at home.
Because she needed some villagers to help with the work, Tao Dazhuang signed up to be one of them.
He had behaved well for the past two years.
And had gained her trust.
Who would have thought.
He was actually a beast.
This was like raising a tiger to become a menace.
A cold glint flashed in Tao Dazhuang's eyes. "I've worked hard for so many years, just to gain your trust and then take you down."
"Today, even if the King of Heaven came, he wouldn't be able to ruin our good deed."
At this moment.
A cold voice echoed from behind him. "Let her go, and I'll spare your life!"
