Chapter 117: Doubts about the World

When Yu Hongdou heard the first forty kinds of minerals, she was still complaining in her mind that it was nonsense. But when she heard the word "another world", she became completely quiet.

After a moment of silence, Xu Da came back to his senses: "I've strayed off topic, but given this kind of news, who can resist the urge to investigate?"

Xu Maoling couldn't help it, picked up the legacy of his master Changlin Zhenren, and continued to look for other mineral materials recorded in the set of formulas.

While searching for minerals, Xu Maoling came to this area and met bandits from Xifeng Village in the mountains. He was tied up and taken back to the village.

Cao Yun, the second in command of the village, was also the military advisor of Xifeng Village at that time. His family was originally from a declining clan. He had read a lot since childhood, but later encountered troubled times and his family was abandoned by his fellow tribesmen during the escape.

After a period of wandering, he ended up in Xifeng Village, and used his wisdom to rise to the top and became the second in command of Xifeng Village.

When Cao Yun saw the captured Xu Maoling, he was impressed by the other's talent and wit during their conversation.

Cao Yun learned about what Xu Maoling was doing and became very interested. He followed Xu Maoling to study the formula for the elixir and left Xifeng Village for a long time for this purpose.

After coming back, the two were extremely excited because they found out the true meaning of the elixir formula.

The formula for the elixir includes the alchemical secret of "turning stone into gold" and also includes a variety of smelting techniques. It can be said that this set of formulas can be called the "Lu Ban Book" of blacksmiths and smelting technology.

Cao Yun and Xu Maoling began to try smelting and alchemy, but this attempt required various mineral materials.

Both Changlin Zhenren and Xu Maoling had found many mineral veins before, but mining them required a large amount of manpower, and the imperial court had always maintained strict control. If they were not careful, the entire Xifeng Village would be trapped.

At that time, the population of Xifeng Village was gradually increasing. Under Cao Yun's plan, they were preparing to find a place to settle down. He would never take risks with the people in the village.

As it happened, Chen Ruxiang came and cried to her senior brother Xu Maoling about the harsh treatment she received when she returned to the Chen family.

Xu Maoling grew up with his master and his junior sister, and was angry but didn't know how to deal with it. After all, he was alone with no background or power, so he wanted his junior sister to leave the Chen family and settle down in Xifeng Village.

But Cao Yun had an idea...

"So there was the story of Li Dai Tao Jiang, the daughter of Chen family met the emperor, and the four sons of Chen family became rich and powerful." When Xu Da talked about the previous story, he sighed, and no one knew what he was sighing about.

Except for Yu Sanlang and Yu Hongdou, father and daughter, everyone present knew the situation, so they were the only ones with dull eyes.

No one knows what Yu Sanlang is thinking.

What Yu Hongdou was thinking in her heart was, could the so-called elixir formula be the one she was thinking of?

Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon...the nightmare of middle school students.

If what she thought was true, this was probably a PhD in engineering who accidentally learned a set of formulas. In order to verify the formulas, he traveled to famous mountains and rivers, collected various materials, and finally met like-minded partners and set up a laboratory together.

But scientific experiments are the most expensive thing, so in order to raise funds, the partner of the engineering doctor went directly to the court. Although his method was not very good, he really succeeded...

Yu Sanlang came back to his senses and looked at Xu Da with a frown. He didn't care about the confusing stories Xu Da told.

He just wanted to know whether the Cao family or Xu Da were looking for the treasure that disappeared along with Qing Dynasty's favorite concubine.

Yu Sanlang didn't want to beat around the bush. It was already dark and there was no point. He suspected Xu Da was trying to trick him, so he got straight to the point: "So what are you looking for?"

"Looking for ancestors." This was the answer given by the eldest son of the Xi family.

"?" A question mark popped up in Yu Hongdou and Yu Sanlang's foreheads at the same time, and then Yu Sanlang's expression turned bad. He was about to speak when Xu Da interrupted him.

"Indeed, we want to find the last whereabouts of Cao Yun and Xu Maoling, which was also the place where they secretly conducted experiments on the elixir formula at that time." Xu Da glanced at Boss Cao and spoke quickly.

If it were an ordinary person, they would just take him back for interrogation, but for Yu Sanlang, Xu Da felt a sense of sympathy and also felt that he was the variable that could save them.

"The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty was being hunted by the rebels, and he was heading north with his favorite concubine. When he passed by this place, the soldiers demanded that the evil concubine be beheaded to appease the people's resentment. Our ancestor took the opportunity to escape with his brothers from Xifeng Village and his favorite concubine Chen."

Xu Da gave Yu Sanlang a calm look and continued speaking.

But this time the speed and language were much shorter.

At that time, when the heads of Xifeng Village became the Chen brothers, they were secretly arranged to settle in the deep mountains. With the convenience provided by the four brothers, the village developed rapidly. At its peak, the number of villagers was almost a thousand.

The four brothers returned home in glory, and they lived a wealthy life with no worries about money and hundreds of children and grandchildren.

Unfortunately, the four brothers who had shared hardships and prosperity started to quarrel among themselves after retiring.

Afterwards, Chen disappeared and the eldest brother Guo Jinlong died inexplicably. The third and fourth brothers accused Xu Maoling of doing it and wanted to kill Xu Maoling to commemorate the eldest brother.

The second oldest, Cao Yun, stood firmly beside his friend, and the two sides had a fight.

The Cao family had many members and good skills. The third and fourth brothers did not gain any advantage, so in anger they took their clansmen and left Xifeng Village, one group heading south and the other heading north.

After parting ways with his brothers, Cao Yun was lost for a while, and it happened that a falling star landed around the village at that time.

Xu Maoling accidentally discovered that there was a kind of translucent golden crystal on the falling star. This kind of ore was very similar to a magical ore mentioned in the elixir recipe.

So Cao Yun and Xu Maoling once again plunged into their obsessive research, but strange things began to happen one after another in the village.

Many died and many were injured in a short period of time. In just a few days, nearly ten people were lost.

When Yu Hongdou heard this, she couldn't help but exclaimed, could it be meteorite radiation?

"At first, Cao Yun and the villagers thought that someone was behind this, because many of the direct descendants and relatives of the third and fourth bosses had not left, and perhaps they were resentful and deliberately set up this trap."

"Until one day, Xu Maoling was injured, and he found that his blood was not bright red, but a golden color. Cao Yun was shocked, and immediately cut his finger, and found that his blood began to turn gold as well." Xu Da's eyes were filled with sorrow. He glanced at Yu Sanlang, and then at Boss Cao.

The eldest son of the Cao family noticed the gaze of the village chief, took out a dagger from his back, and slashed his finger.

In the dim light, a faint golden blood flowed from the fingers, shocking both the Yu family father and daughter.

Yu Hongdou stared at the drop of light-colored blood, her mind full of doubts. Was it that the original work incorporated some familiar stories, or were the worlds of the novels interconnected?
