Chapter 389: Chapter 389 Hidden Secret_1

"I’m so sorry, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you to tour the village today."

During breakfast, He Nanqing apologized to everyone, and Feng Yuan smiled and said

"You’re also in school, right? Why haven’t you discovered those business opportunities?"

He Nanqing laughed self-deprecatingly and said

"I only focused on tourism-related matters, but because of it, tourism absolutely couldn’t be developed in the village. It just didn’t occur to me..."

"Actually, they’ve left you quite a few valuable assets, not just the Red Fruits planted by Drudgeon. Have you noticed that the Ghost Fire Candles in the village aren’t afraid of people?"

"But we can’t possibly catch those Ghost Fire Candles to sell!"

Feng Yuan looked at He Nanqing speechlessly and said

"What are you thinking? Who told you to catch Ghost Fire Candles to sell? Aren’t you afraid they’ll get angry if you actually do that?"

Following Feng Yuan’s gaze, He Nanqing then saw little Yognot rolling its eyes at her, sticking out its tongue. He Nanqing turned to Feng Yuan and asked

"Then, what were you getting at with those Ghost Fire Candles?"

"Normally, Ghost Fire Candles are very afraid of people, so the Ghost Fire Wax they produce is considered a rather expensive Potion ingredient. You could regularly collect the Ghost Fire Wax and sell it."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan doubtfully and said

"Why haven’t I heard about Ghost Fire Wax before?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and said irritably

"You haven’t seen it, so it doesn’t exist? This can be seen on special rare Potion ingredient trading networks."

"Rare Potion ingredients? Could it be that there’s little demand for it?"

"Not at all."

Dou Yanlan thought of something, looked at He Nanqing seriously, and said

"He’s absolutely right. Ghost Fire Wax from the Ghost Fire Candles is a Spirit Material that has a very stable price and a constant, high demand over the long term. As long as you learn how to collect it, you can make quite a bit of money."

"As for why you haven’t heard of it, that’s because the Potions that use Ghost Fire Wax are at least Elite Level."

Feng Yuan nodded and said

"Exactly, and the largest user of it isn’t Potions, but a special item, the Calming Heart Candle."

"It’s actually that?"

Everyone, except for Dou Yanlan, was somewhat surprised. After all, the reputation of the Calming Heart Candle was well-known. It’s an item that, when burned, can slowly increase human spiritual power. Although it’s not produced in small quantities, the demand is far higher than the supply. If the Calming Heart Candle requires Ghost Fire Wax, then there’s no need to worry about insufficient demand affecting sales."

"Although the Calming Heart Candle requires more than just Ghost Fire Wax, as an irreplaceable main ingredient, you don’t have to worry about your little bit of Ghost Fire Wax disrupting the price."

"Moreover, Ghost Fire Candles are very difficult to rear. Although I’m not sure which Divine Beast brought in this group of Ghost Fire Candles, you must protect them well. Ghost Fire Candles that aren’t afraid of humans are a very valuable asset."

Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion and said

"If it’s so easy for you to discover, why hasn’t anyone noticed them for so long?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Yang Hongzhi and said with pride

"Ghost Fire Wax is a material that people don’t typically come into contact with unless they have a certain level in alchemy. It’s hard for villagers to know about it, and as for outsiders, do you think the Divine Beasts wouldn’t have measures to protect them?"

"Those outsiders who had designs on them have probably been punished. But I guess, because of that, they wouldn’t bring up the matter of the Ghost Fire Candles to you."

Saying this, Feng Yuan remembered something and cautioned He Nanqing

"With those Ghost Fire Candles, all you need to do is carefully collect the Ghost Fire Wax. Don’t even think about doing anything else. Just treat them well, because if you do something bad to them, maybe they’ll leave this place."

"After all, under normal circumstances, Ghost Fire Candles are extremely afraid of humans, making it very difficult to even rear them. As far as I know, those estates rearing Ghost Fire Candles either have Legendary Level Ghost Series Spirit Beasts to take care of them or they themselves have a special affinity with Ghost Fire Candles."

Stretching lazily, Feng Yuan added

"Speaking of which, I’m not very clear on what strange things those Divine Beasts have stuffed into your place. Perhaps it needs a thorough inspection~"

"Qi Chen, let’s go with him. I’ll help him record the information."

Seeing Dou Yanlan looking towards him, Qi Chen quickly nodded to express agreement. Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan and said,

"Then I’ll go play with Brother Yang~"

Yang Hongzhi was eating something. Hearing Qi Xiaoshuang’s words, he looked up at Qi Chen with a beaming smile and scratched his head, while He Nanqing thought for a moment and said,

"If that’s the case, it would be too rude to let you help on your own, so...

"Xiao Yu!"

"Coming~ What’s up?"

Hearing He Nanqing’s shout, a lively little girl hopped in from outside the door and curiously asked He Nanqing, looking at her. After patting Xiao Yu on the head, He Nanqing said,

"I’ll be busy with something very important later, so I’ll need your help showing these brothers and sisters around the village."

"Eh? Didn’t Xiao Yi and the others already show them around yesterday?"

Xiao Yu instantly recognized Qi Chen and the others who had played with them the day before and looked at He Nanqing with some confusion, pointing at Feng Yuan as He Nanqing said,

"Mainly to accompany him. Other than the places that are truly off-limits, you should help them convey where they want to go."

Xiao Yu looked at Feng Yuan with confusion and said,

"Is he Sister Xiao Qing’s boyfriend?"

Feng Yuan, who was eating, looked at Xiao Yu speechlessly and said,

"Where did you get that bizarre conclusion?"

"What! You think you’re too good for our Sister Xiao Qing? If he’s not her boyfriend, why would Sister Xiao Qing specifically ask... Ow! Sister Xiao Qing, you actually hit me for his sake!"

Holding her head, Xiao Yu looked at He Nanqing with a wronged expression, while He Nanqing, massaging her temples, said helplessly,

"What nonsense are you talking about? He’s kindly offering to help. You know about the Red Fruit, right? He’s the one who found it. And there’s the Ghost Fire Candle. In short, have him help look around the village for more things that can continuously bring us income. Don’t you want everyone to live better?"

Xiao Yu looked at Feng Yuan curiously and said,

"I didn’t realize you were the one who found the Red Fruit! What’s the deal with the Ghost Fire Candle? Are those little candles also valuable?"

He Nanqing gently knocked on Xiao Yu’s head again to warn her,

"The products from the Ghost Fire Candle are very valuable, but don’t mess with them. If you scare them away, be careful or your parents will spank you."

"Oh... I understand..."

Although Xiao Yu regretted not being able to do it herself, she understood that if the products from the Ghost Fire Candle were valuable, then being extra cautious was the least she could do. While everyone was living more or less comfortably, who wouldn’t want more money for a better life?

After breakfast, Xiao Yu grabbed hold of Feng Yuan’s hand and said,

"Let’s go, go, go~ Hurry up and help Sister see if there’s anything else valuable in the village~"

Since Feng Yuan still looked like a child at this time, Xiao Yu was somewhat puzzled as to why a little boy around her age would have discovered the value of the Red Fruit. As for why she previously said Feng Yuan was He Nanqing’s boyfriend, one would have to ask why the recently popular TV dramas were all about older women and younger men.

Shaking off Xiao Yu’s hand, Feng Yuan carried Pomiti and walked ahead, saying,

"Qi Chen, guess what I saw last night?"

"The Ghost Fire Candle?"

"Not just that~ I saw those Spirit Beasts spontaneously cleaning and maintaining this village. But letting the Brocade Fur Mouse catch mice, who knew which Divine Beast had such a wicked sense of humor..."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen incredulously said,

"Using mice to catch mice? It wouldn’t be something you did, would it?"

"Don’t start with me; I’ve only just arrived here. Those Brocade Fur Mice have probably been living here a lot longer than that."

Seeing Feng Yuan looking at her, Xiao Yu nodded and said,

"That’s right, we do indeed have various Spirit Beasts that help get rid of mice and the like at night. Those little turtles in the river also come out to help clean the stone paths."

"How is that possible!"

Qi Chen said in disbelief.
