Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the decreasing amount of spider silk outside. They silently waited for a miracle to happen.
Princess Qian You's eyes lit up as she watched the spider silk slowly enter the maze. Based on her intuition, Zhong Shan might really succeed this time.
There were tens of thousands of paths inside. Could the ant miraculously walk to the exit?
Everyone waited patiently. Only Zhong Shan was incomparably confident. An hour later, under Ah Da, Ah Er, and Shui Tianya's astonishment, the strong ant actually successfully passed through the maze. It finally came out of the exit with the spider silk and crawled towards the ant queen.
"Zhong Shan, is this the art of beast taming?" Princess Qian You asked in surprise.
"Beast taming? Is this a beast? "Zhong Shan pulled the spider silk and looked at Princess Qian You with a strange expression.
Even without Zhong Shan's instructions, Princess Qian You already knew what to do next.
Zhong Shan tied the small rice grain to the spider silk and then smeared soybean oil on it. He gently pulled from one end, and the rice grain quickly came out from the other end.
Clearly, the soybean oil was used for lubrication to prevent the rice grain from getting stuck halfway.
"Isn't this the art of beast taming?" Princess Qian You asked in surprise.
Princess Qian You had thought of asking the people of the Beast Taming Sect for help, but those people could only tame a few large beasts at most. They were helpless against this small ant. Could it be that Zhong Shan was even more powerful than the people of the Beast Taming Sect?
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Zhong Shan said softly, "This is common knowledge in the mortal world. Everyone knows how to do it."
It was fine if Zhong Shan didn't say anything, but once he did, the four of them were speechless. Common knowledge?
Pointing at the two ants just now, Zhong Shan explained, "This big ant tied to the exit is the ant queen. This strong ant is the worker ant. When the ant queen is being persecuted, it will emit a special scent to ask for help. The worker ant will definitely come. I blew just now to let the scent in so that the worker ant can find it. Furthermore, the ant can also emit a cry for help that you and I can't hear, so the worker ant rushed over."
"Scent? Cry for help? That's right, this Ant Queen has been making strange noises and giving off a strange smell. "Princess Qian You nodded.
Zhong Shan looked at Princess Qian You in astonishment. She could even smell it? He could even hear that? Just how strong was Princess Qian You?
"However, I don't think this is what you call common sense in the mortal world, right?" Princess Qian You said with a sly smile.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I discovered this by myself when I was bored when I was young," Zhong Shan said helplessly. To be honest, the knowledge of the ant queen and worker ants was indeed common knowledge on Earth, but the princess didn't believe it. There was nothing he could do. He could only say that he had observed it himself.
Princess Qian You was naturally not angry. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised. Why would he blame him? Looking through ant nests when he was young? Did he observe it himself? If it was an ordinary person, how could they possibly see it?
"Didn't you say that there are many ways? Other than this, if you can tell me another way, I won't blame you. "Princess Qian You looked at Zhong Shan again.
"Erm, other ways will have to be searched for over a period of time." Zhong Shan said.
"Oh?" Princess Qian You asked curiously.
"The God Refining Ball has two holes and only one path. That means that there will definitely be wind movements in this maze. The breeze will pass through the two holes, one in and one out. Even if it's so slight that we can't detect it, there will still be a slight wind movement. As long as we can find those small insects that are extremely sensitive to wind, tie them up with spider silk, and place something that they care about in the other hole, just like how this Ant Queen attracts the worker ants, we will be able to make the small insects pass through quickly." Zhong Shan explained.
Although Zhong Shan had only mentioned a method and hadn't put it into practice, everyone was even more confident in this method after seeing how the ants had found the path.
Shui Tianya, Ah Da, and Ah Er were extremely confident. That was because Zhong Shan's second method would definitely have a higher success rate than ants. However, Princess Qian You was sharp enough to notice the difficulty of this method. This method was too difficult. If they wanted to find these insects, they would definitely have to pay a huge price. However, Princess Qian You didn't expose him.
Waving her fan, Princess Qian You smiled faintly. "You've solved the first problem. Do you want to think about the second problem?"
Zhong Shan just happened to know how to thread ants? Princess Qian You didn't think so. The problem wasn't known in advance. It was just that Zhong Shan had found a way to solve it as soon as she mentioned it. Although he had solved it casually, it was easy to see how big the problem was. Princess Qian You was already very sure of Zhong Shan's ability. That was why she asked Zhong Shan to think about it.
Looking at the Renewal Pill, Zhong Shan smiled. The first problem depended on luck. The second problem was to turn the Renewal Pill into a Nascent Formation Pill. This was something that Zhong Shan was most proficient in. No, it should be said that after arriving at Wushuang City, this matter had become extremely easy. If it was on Heavenly Wolf Island, there would never be a way.
"Just like how a grain of rice passes through the God Refining Sphere, it's also not difficult to turn the Renewal Pill into a Nascent Formation Pill. It can even be said that as long as I tell you the method, anyone can do it." Zhong Shan smiled.
Hearing Zhong Shan's words, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Shui Tianya's eyes widened. Solving the previous problem could be said to be your luck. You observed ants when you were young. But how could this Renewal Pill turn into a Nascent Formation Pill? Even an Alchemy Grandmaster wouldn't dare to boast about this. No, under the circumstances of not adding anything, no one could do it, unless they were Immortals.
However, Zhong Shan's tone said that anyone could do it? Was that a smokescreen?
"Oh?" Princess Qian You said in surprise.
"How about this, I won't do it. I'll write down the method. How to change it, let this …" Zhong Shan said as he pointed at Ah Da.
"Ah Da." Ah Da introduced himself.
In fact, Zhong Shan also knew that this person was called Ah Da. It was just that he didn't know whether it was his real name or a title that only Princesses could call, so he pretended to be a little hesitant. Since he had introduced himself, Zhong Shan certainly wouldn't be polite.
"Then how about we let Ah Da do it?" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
After Zhong Shan finished speaking, Ah Da was a little excited. Changing the pill? Changing the Renewal Pill into a Nascent Formation Pill? What kind of magical spell was this? It was so powerful? Then in the future, as long as he bought a batch of Renewal Pills, he would be able to change it into a batch of Nascent Formation Pills.
Shui Tianya and Ah Er looked at Zhong Shan in surprise. Looking at Zhong Shan's attitude, he seemed to be very, very confident. Could it really be changed?
Princess Qian You stared at Zhong Shan and finally said with a smile, "Okay!"
Zhong Shan walked to the side and took out another piece of paper, then took out a brush and ink.
The entire piece of paper was densely filled with Zhong Shan's words. Everyone waited patiently at the side.
After an hour, Zhong Shan blew away the wet ink, put away the brush and ink, and handed the piece of paper over.
"Princess, please take a look." Zhong Shan held out the piece of paper.
The princess took it gently.
Seeing what was written on it, Princess Qian You's eyes lit up. She immediately understood the reason. His eyes shone with excitement.
"Ah Da." Princess Qian You immediately handed over the piece of paper.
"Yes." Ah Da immediately stepped forward excitedly. On the other hand, Ah Er and Shui Tianya looked curiously at Princess Qian You handing the piece of paper to Ah Da.
Princess Qian You immediately understood, but Ah Da couldn't understand it after looking at it for a long time.
"Princess, this is?" Ah Da frowned.
On the piece of paper was written:
One Renewal Pill = 95 high grade spirit stones = 95 Spiritual Crispy Seeds = 16 Sleeping Fruits + 26 Titanium Gold Paper = 2 Thunder Tremor Fruits + 13 Jin of Dragon Saliva Cinnabar = … = 25,000 spirit stones = 1 Nascent Formation Pill.
Ah Da didn't know what to do with these densely packed words. But Princess Qian You was somewhat expectant. Looking at Zhong Shan, she was no longer making things difficult for him, but a kind of courtesy. She was waiting for this method to succeed.
What kind of method was this? This was a method to circulate goods, a method that Zhong Shan was most adept at.
Trade! As long as there was a market, Zhong Shan would never starve to death.
That day, he, Nan Batian, and Shui Wuhen strolled around Peerless Parallel City's business district. Zhong Shan had already memorized the prices of a large number of goods. What kind of person was Zhong Shan? Although these prices were the same throughout Peerless Parallel City, Zhong Shan was still able to quickly find a loophole. Using the difference in prices between two goods to earn money was something that Zhong Shan had learned in his youth. But what if the prices of two goods were the same? Zhong Shan was already able to create a difference in value between goods that had no difference in price. At most, he would just have to find more goods.
Although bartering seemed fair and uniform in Wushuang City, with the same number of items being exchanged, Zhong Shan was able to quickly analyze the difference between the price and value of an item with a single glance. If two goods had the same value, but one made a huge profit while the other only made a small profit, then these two goods could be used by Zhong Shan to squeeze out the profit from the profit.
This was a merchant, a great merchant, a truly astute merchant. Earning the difference in price? It was better to earn the difference.
"I don't need anyone's help. Peerless Parallel City sells goods and exchanges. Bring this Regeneration Pill to any of the business districts and exchange according to my order. In the end, it will become the Nascent Formation Pill." Zhong Shan smiled.
"Make a copy. Go and do it." Princess Qian You said.
"Yes." Ah Da nodded with a trace of curiosity. Then, he took out a jade slip and quickly recorded Zhong Shan's words. Then, he threw down the paper and quickly flew out with the Regeneration Pill.
"Princess, can I take a look?" Shui Tianya asked.
"You can. You just happen to be from Peerless Parallel City." Princess Qian You nodded with a smile.
Ah Er also looked eager to give it a try.
"Ah Er, you should also take a look." Princess Qian You said.
"Yes." Ah Er walked forward excitedly.
The two of them grabbed the Xuan paper and read it carefully.
