Zixuan listened to Li Jianming talking about the matter of going up the mountain and clearing the land.

This is the first time she has heard of such a thing.

As a Qi Refiner who practices in Kunlun Mountains, he usually has no chance to get into any topic of land reclamation.

After hearing Tang Feng's speech, Zi Xuan slowly spoke: "Do you think the traces left by this fire have anything to do with the reopening of land?"

Li Jianming nodded, shook his head, and said with a little hesitation: "I think this technique seems to be somewhat similar to the land reclamation, but as I said before, the official law now strictly prohibits burning mountains. If the fire really started last night, it would probably not be that simple."

Zixuan turned her gaze to Tang Feng again.

Tang Feng frowned slightly and said, "The only people living in this place are the mountain people. You also see that they do not make a living by farming."

"Yes, how much harvest can you get in farming in this mountain?

How much money can you make?

Now they run this kind of inn-like business, and their income can be said to be dozens and hundreds of times that of the previous one. They are too lazy to manage their ready-made orchards, so there is no need to open up land and farm again."

Lin Mengjia thought about what happened in the village before and said with certainty.

Shangguan nodded, agreeing, and said: "There is no road from that village. When they pass through the bamboo forest and walk outside, even if they choose to burn mountains and clear the land, they should be in a place near the village. There is no need to wait for a large circle to reach. After all, they do not have the ability of a practitioner, and they cannot pass over the bamboo forest."

Among everyone's words, Shangguan's words came to the point.

Even if the people in the village really want to burn mountains and farm, the road is inconvenient, which is the biggest obstacle. They will never choose that kind of place.

Just as the few people were discussing, Zhao Xiaoshan, who was walking in the front, had already stopped, turned around, and said to everyone: "Everyone, let's rest here for a while. The next road will be very difficult, and there is no place to rest on the road, so we need to do our best."

Of course these people would not feel embarrassed about the difficulty of the journey, but since Zhao Xiaoshan said that, they would certainly not object, and they all stopped.

Rong Guocheng rolled his eyes and walked to Zhao Xiaoshan with a smile, and asked him, "Brother, how long will it take for us to arrive?"

"It's soon, it's soon," Zhao Xiaoshan wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve, pointed to the front, and said, "I'm about to walk out of this forest. There is a cliff in front, with only a very thin path for one person to pass. Everyone must be sideways before they can go over. Every step must be taken very carefully and not to be greedy for speed. It takes about two hours for us to pass by. After passing the cliff, we will almost reach the foot of the mountain of Yuxian Peak."

Rong Guocheng nodded, still with a very humble smile on his face, and said, "This trip is really a blessing. It is really hard to walk along the way. When we go back, we must thank you very well."

"You don't have to be polite, this is what I should do."

Zhao Xiaoshan's smile is very honest.

Rong Guocheng casually said a few more words to Zhao Xiaoshan. When he felt it was almost done, he asked him again: "Will we still have to pass by that village when we go back?"

Zhao Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Of course, this is the only way from the outer mountain to Yuxian Peak, and it's the same when you come and go."

Rong Guocheng smiled and said, "That's good. I was thinking about bringing more wine when I went back. The wine we drank last night was really good and the wine was strong enough. It can be considered a very good gift to take it back to give it to my friend."

Zhao Xiaoshan said: "Boss, you are really aware of the goods. This wine is considered a unique feature of Yucheng Mountain. Only in this place can you brew it. If you change the place, it does not have this taste. Perhaps it is related to the fruits they use, which are picked in this mountain."

“Fruit?

I heard you say that the orchards in their place are already abandoned?

There are no other fruit trees in the nearby mountains, where do so many fruits come from to make wine?”

Rong Guocheng's words were a bit curious, as if he was just talking about homely things.

Zhao Xiaoshan was not wary at all and replied casually: "They pick fruits not only near this village, but will go deeper. As for the route, it is not what I know, after all, I don't often walk these paths."

Rong Guocheng continued to speak in a chatty tone: "Then, in addition to receiving some guests and brewing some wine, does the villagers have any other business?"

Zhao Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "Before, they would go to the mountains to hunt or collect herbs, but hunting has been explicitly prohibited. The risk of collecting herbs is extremely high. Those precious and good medicinal materials are grown in more dangerous places. Now that they earn a lot from receiving guests, they are not taking risks to do these things."

"Then, don't they farm?"

Rong Guocheng's tone was as calm as before. If it weren't for anyone else's knowledge, he would have wanted to ask this question, but he wouldn't hear his words at all. What's the difference between this and the chat with Zhao Xiaoshan.

Zhao Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Where is a place to farm in the mountains?

The orchard they built had already taken a lot of effort. They found a suitable location quite far from the village. It was built with an official permission at that time. It was in the mountains, with inconvenient transportation and the fertilizer outside could not be transported in. It was not like the countryside in other places, suitable for farming."

"Then the ones we ate yesterday-" "The vegetables we eat can be grown in small gardens near the village, and they also raise poultry. As for the rice and white flour, they are carried in by these mountain people themselves. On the way, you can see that these vehicles, mules and horses are unable to enter the mountain. There is no other way except relying on people."

Zhao Xiaoshan's smile was straightforward and he didn't realize that Rong Guocheng had been placing his words.

Rong Guocheng nodded and said with a smile: "It's really not easy to transport some food in such a long distance. It costs fifty per person per meal. It's really a conscience price and it's not expensive at all."

Rong Guocheng's words were not to get close to Zhao Xiaoshan, but from the bottom of his heart.

Nowadays, in big cities, a small restaurant costs dozens of yuan per person. In this mountain, shipping is so difficult, and the price is indeed extremely cheap.
