Chapter 904: Profound Origin Turtle
Time passed quickly. When the sun was setting toward the western mountains, and the Fury Wind River was dyed in red and orange, Ye Qing finally returned from his errand.
“Here you go.” Ye Qing waved his hand and caused a pile of sacks to appear on the ground. “It was surprisingly difficult trying to gather these things.”
He was understating it. For one, Fury Wind River wasn’t suitable for living or farming, so even the closest town was at least tens of kilometers away from the rivershore. Two, the towns were all small and filled with poor people who couldn’t even feed themselves satisfactorily, much less own a stock of surplus grain that was at least a year old. They couldn’t give him what he wanted even if he was the wealthiest man in the world.
In the end, he had to travel a long distance and visit over a dozen towns before he finally bought enough Five Grains from landlords and wealthy households to meet Feng Qingyou’s demands. It felt more tiring than fighting multiple powerful warriors to the death.
“Thank you for your hard work, Joyless.” Feng Qingyou smiled appreciatively.
“So, what do you need these for, Qingyou?” Ye Qing asked.
“To fish!” Feng Qingyou answered.
“Excuse me?” Ye Qing blinked dumbly for the second time of the day. Since when could grains be used for fishing? Was she making fun of the uneducated, or…?
“You’ll know in a moment.” Once again, Feng Qingyou kept him in suspense.
