Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Secret Treasure Location

After briefly discussing the secrets of the mechanisms, the One-Eyed Uncle and One-Armed Uncle disclosed the location of their hidden books to them.

They advised that should they leave from here, they must go to The Barbaric Wastelands to find and properly nurture the books.

The two naturally had no objections.

As for a suitable place to store books, needless to say, space was the best preservation area, where one would never have to worry about damage or theft.

Once the affairs of His Majesty had been addressed, Lame Man Uncle began discussing the challenges of agriculture.

The challenges of agriculture, as the name suggests, included all about planting or irrigation machinery, as well as some clever living tools. After wrapping up, Lame Man Uncle also disclosed the location of his hidden books.

Bai Junjun couldn’t help but marvel at how well the ancients protected their intellectual property.

Just considering the Mohists alone, although they belonged to the same sect and the sect might not have five people, within these five people, they were still divided into several schools; each school’s books were hidden in different locations.

For example, the books of mechanical techniques by the One-Eyed Uncle were located in the Barbaric Wastelands of this continent.

It was said that The Barbaric Wastelands gathered numerous wild beasts as well as terrifying Wild People who could swallow clouds and spit fire. Ordinary people dared not approach, and it was truly commendable that these two brothers dared to hide their books there.

And Lame Man Uncle’s hidden books were even more extraordinary, located within the territory of the Second Prince, in the Fahua Temple of the Old Capital City, worshipped together with numerous scriptures.

It was beautifully described as receiving the blessings of the Bodhisattva, enabling the Mohists to flourish and expand.

Both Bai Junjun and Li Wenli’s faces were filled with incomprehension.

Isn’t carrying the books with you better?

One hidden in The Barbaric Wastelands where no one dared to go, the other deeply concealed within the city where no one could guess; both sounded impressive.

But what if someone mistook them for trash and threw them away?

It’s no wonder so many ancient books and prescriptions were lost through the ages, it seems to be due to these "sages" playing clever tricks.

"In any case, we have already told you the locations. If you get the chance, please help us retrieve them and then find a secure place to keep them," they said.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli nodded repeatedly. There’s no need to search for a secure place anymore—they would keep them in their space, ensuring that no one besides them would ever see them in their lifetimes.

In this manner, they completed the handover ceremony to both parties’ satisfaction and went downstairs.

Of course, strictly speaking, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli came out slightly ahead in this exchange.

After all, they had merely provided a method to extract plant salt, consolidated from later generations, while the Lame Man Uncle had provided the locations of the long-lost Mechanism Techniques scriptures.

The value of the two wasn’t on the same level at all.

The handover took a little time, and by the time they came out it was already late morning.

Lately, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli had grown accustomed to hunting two eagles a day.

To be exact, by now they had caught 16 eagles and collected 20 eggs.

Of course, the Man-eating Eagles were cleared out every day, but except for the first day when they ate three, they hadn’t touched the Man-eating Eagle’s eggs again.

Since the eggs were quite sizeable, to make it easier on themselves, they just tossed the eggs into the space.

In the past, they used to retrieve the eggs at the camp without any problems, but now at the cliff top, countless eyes were eagerly watching them.

Every time they appeared in the public eye, they had to deal with the Man-eating Eagles first.

Climbing while carrying the weight of the Man-eating Eagles was already exhausting enough; there was no way they could also carry the eggs.

Moreover, not knowing what future famine might await them, Bai Junjun deliberately kept the eggs, and Li Wenli shared her thoughts as he never suggested taking the eggs out either.

After leaving Lame Man Uncle’s place, they were off to hunt eagles again.
