Tree Vine Village.

This is a village with a crescent-shaped layout, facing the grassland and facing the endless yellow sand.

There was originally a tree and a well in the center of the village. No one knew how long the tree had existed, and no one knew who dug the bottomless well. They already existed before the ancestors of Shuveng Village came here.

Now the White Tree has fallen, the well has dried up, and the village has no vitality.

Water is the source of life, especially on the edge of this dry desert. Without water means no life.

Lin Dong stood in the middle of the village and looked down at the falling white tree. The tree was like a crystal white jade carving. It was covered with snow-white color. The bark had been stripped off, revealing the snow-white trunk.

The trunk is not thick, and it only takes two hands to surround it. Lin Dong wanted to count the annual rings of the White Luo tree, but he found that the trunk of the tree was integrated and there were no circles of annual rings at all.

"Lin Dong, I really got the treasure this time. This White Luo tree is probably five thousand years old." Old Turtle said happily.

"This tree looks very small, how could it be five thousand years old?" Lin Dong asked.

"This is a Bellow tree! How can it be compared with ordinary trees? You must know that Bellow tree is the slowest growing tree, no doubt about it."

Lin Dong nodded. He didn't feel very excited because thousands of eyes were looking at him, and everyone's face was covered with bitterness.

It turns out that the reason why these villagers need money is because this place is no longer suitable for human survival. More than a thousand people need to be moved, so the cost is naturally huge.

The Chinese have the habit of being unable to leave their hometown, and Lin Dong is no exception.

Seeing that these people were about to leave their hometown for survival, Lin Dong couldn't help but think of his hometown and his family.

"I can't go back." Lin Dong murmured in a low voice, lowered his body, and stroked the big tree with his fingers.

"What can't go back?" Mr. Gui asked curiously.

Lin Dong didn't explain it to him because it was really an unexplainable question.

"Old Turtle, what's the use of this tree trunk? It's a pity to waste such a good piece of wood." Lin Dong said.

"It's useful, but it's useless to you. This tree trunk is a good raw material for making machine tools. Unfortunately, you don't know how to make machine tools, so it's unlikely to take it back. This tree is too heavy." Old Gui said with some regret.

Lin Dong took out the black snake sword and said, "I can't take it away. I'll cut off one and take it away."

Old Turtle showed a strange smile on his face, but he didn't stop him.

Pong!

Lin Dong's black snake sword cut on the tree trunk was like chopping on a steel plate, which made Lin Dong's arm numb.

You must know that the black snake fighting blade is extremely sharp. Even if you cut the steel plate, you must have a gap. However, there is no scratch on the White Tree. I really don’t know what material this tree is from.

"Your broken knife still wants to cut the five thousand-year-old White Luo tree, don't dream." Old Turtle smiled.

"Why is it a broken knife? This is Black Snake No. 1. I bought it for a lot of money back then." Lin Dong said dissatisfied.

"This knife is at most a preliminary level of Stardust. If you want to cut the trunk of the White Tree, you must get a high-level starlight knife."

"At the High-level Starlight? Is there any kind of knife?"

"I don't know if there are any here, but I remember that there are so many star-level knives."

"Tsk, memory is useless. It's useless to say that, do you have a way to cut this tree down and take it away?"

Old Turtle shook his head, "It's useless, just be content. One of the bark and fruits can be used as blank cards, and the other can be used as a base liquid for pigment, are both top-level raw materials."

Lin Dong sighed with regret. The tree was too heavy. It was a dream to transport it from the desert to the inland center. Now he had to leave this priceless treasure.

At this time, an old man with white hair and beard walked out of the crowd, followed by a big fat boy, who was holding a rather old wooden box in his arms.

"This master, if it weren't for your generosity, our 1,080-member family in Shuteng Village would be trapped here. If you are the benefactor, please be worshiped by the old man."

Lin Dong quickly stopped him, "The old man doesn't have to be too polite. I just paid for what I needed, not as noble as you said."

The old man smiled and showed his white teeth.

"No matter what, you saved more than a thousand people in the village. I want to thank you, I want to thank you."

"Jiao Yang, give these fruits to your benefactor quickly."

The fat boy came to Lin Dong with the old wooden box. Lin Dong reached out to pick it up, and only then did he realize that it was amazing after picking it up.

This wooden box that doesn't look big actually weighs hundreds of pounds. Jiao Yang, the little fat man, is only eleven or twelve years old, has such strength. Lin Dong was secretly surprised.

Lin Dong put the wooden box on the ground and opened it to take a look.

I saw fourteen white fruits neatly placed in the wooden box, each of which was the size of a peach.

"My benefactor, this fruit was originally sixteen, picked by my grandfather's grandfather when he was young. These fruits are very strange. Not only are they heavy, but they will rot immediately as soon as they are taken out of the village. However, they remain unchanged not far from the sacred tree."

Lin Dong picked up a white rosé fruit in his hand. The fruit was translucent and shiny. As soon as he opened the box, the whole village was filled with fragrance.

"No, this fruit needs to be processed immediately. You see, there are small black dots on the peel, and the White Luo tree is dead. I guess this fruit can be left for at most for another three days." The old man turtle said quickly.

Lin Dong felt nervous. This was bought at a high price, so he didn't want to watch it rot.

"What should I do?" Lin Dong asked.

"Tell them to prepare a room, prepare a lot of firewood, and put on a pot of iron. They need blue stones, sunshine, and blood stones, each pound, autumn gold grass, snow grass, and tear red grass, all fresh three pounds..."

Old Gui said a lot of pushing things. Lin Dong took the paper and pen and recorded it one by one, handed the note to Gorre, and gave him some rubies to go to Shazhou City to purchase.

Found a secluded yard in the village. Lin Dong moved all the fruit barks into the house, leaving only the fat boy Jiao Yang to help in the house, and Lin Dong began to get busy.

According to Mr. Gui's instructions, he first made a fire and burned a large pot of boiling water. There was no water source in the village, and every drop of water was transported from a very distant place. However, the villagers had no complaints and used the only two old horses in the village to go to the camel one by one.

There is enough water source in [Second Gate], but Lin Dong still took out the water sent by the villagers. If he took out the water like a trick, it would definitely cause great panic among the villagers. The villagers found that Lin Dong did not use much water every day, and they did not know that Lin Dong would quietly take out the water from the [Second Gate] to replenish it into the water tank late at night.

The fourteen fruits were poured into boiling water, and the color in the pot gradually turned into thick white. The fat boys Jiao Yang and Lin Dong took turns to watch the fire and chop firewood.

The child was very strong. In the afternoon, thousands of kilograms of firewood were added to the yard. There were few trees around him, and most of these firewood were furniture contributed by the villagers. Anyway, they were going to move. It was useless to keep these heavy furniture. It was willing to give it to Lin Dong and other villagers.

At night, Jiao Yang returned to the village with the required materials. Although Shazhou City is the largest city nearby, it cannot be compared with these inland cities. There are seven or eight kinds of raw materials that have nowhere to be found.

Fortunately, Mr. Turtle had already thought of a replacement item in the morning. Looking at these replacement products, Mr. Turtle looked regretful, "It's such a pity. Originally, I could make top-quality pigments according to my prescription, and the grade of these replacement products would be reduced a lot."

Lin Dong rolled his eyes and asked, "Old Gui, what level does the lowered pigment equal to what the mainland calls it?"

Mr. Gui pondered for a moment and said, "According to your words, it is about ten to eleven levels."

Lin Dong was very happy, level 11 pigment! I have never heard of this in the Biyue Continent. As long as I can succeed for a long time, I don’t need to worry about the pigment.

"Old Turtle, what about these blank cards?" Lin Dong said, pointing to the pile of bark on the table.

"It's hard to say. I just know that this white bark is an excellent material for making blank cards, but I haven't tried it. The white bark tree in the desert is extremely precious. Who would be willing to take down the bark to make blank cards."

Jiao Yang was responsible for burning the fire. As time went by, a strong fragrance enveloped the entire village. Although the villagers were curious about what Lin Dong was doing, no one dared to discuss this in private out of respect for a card maker.

Lin Dong sat at the table, holding a black snake sword in his hand and carefully processed the bark of White Root. Although these barks are not as hard as tree trunks, they are also extremely difficult to process.

The bark needs to be cut to the same size as the standard card, and then carefully remove the outer bark and leave only the innermost layer.

There must be no omissions during this period. If a precious high-end blank card is missing, it will be invalid.

At the beginning, there were only four or five of them without ten. The boss of Turtle scolded Lin Dong for making a fortune.

Lin Dong had no choice. After all, this was his first attempt in raw materials. As his experience increased, the success rate gradually increased a lot. By the second day, Lin Dong could already be more than 100 successful.

Until the third day, all the barks were made into white blank cards by Lin Dong.

The fourteen white tree fruits that had been rolling in the boiling water had become smaller and smaller. The originally milky white water began to become crystal clear at this time. On the fourth day, the fourteen fruits disappeared completely and turned into a pot of crystal clear liquid. The liquid rolled in the pot and emitted a strong fragrance.

During this period, the villagers of Shuteng Village had begun to migrate to the depths of the grassland in a planned manner. First, they were strong and strong adult men, and they rode on several shuttle buses they bought from Shazhou City toward the boundless grassland.

The remaining elderly, children and women temporarily moved to Shazhou City to wait for the men to find a suitable place to survive, build a house before picking them up.

Only a few people choose to live in the city, and most people voluntarily follow the village to move far away.

As a result, there were fewer people in the village. After seven days of arrival, except Lin Dong, there were only Jiao Lei and Xiaopang Jiao Yang left in the village. Jiao Yang was responsible for making fires, while Jiao Lei was responsible for transporting water and cooking these miscellaneous items.

On the eighth day, Lin Dong began to make blank cards under the instructions of Mr. Gui. It was not difficult to make blank cards. Put the juice made of the fruit of the White Root tree into a wooden basin, and after it cooled, the blank cards made of the White Root tree bark were put into it and soaked.

This process requires Lin Dong to continuously inject the source power into the wooden basin. The Bailu juice in the basin will absorb the source power released by Lin Dong like a sponge. When the source power is injected, the juice will emit a faint golden light. When the light weakens slightly, Lin Dong injects the source power into it again.

Three more days later, the blank cards were made, and the cards that were completely soaked in juice were taken to the sun to expose them.

The sun shines brightly in the desert, and all the cards have been formed in just one morning.

Lin Dong carefully collected the cards and counted the quantity, seventy-nine! So many high-quality blank cards made Lin Dong really excited for a long time.

Next is the production of pigments.

I used the pot of white rosé juice left by making blank cards before.

Lin Dong divided it into three parts and placed it in three wooden basins. Then he placed the raw materials bought in Shazhou City and continued to use the source force as the guide to mix the colors.

Lin Dongtou made raw materials at one time, but he didn't know that the method of making materials by Gui Lao is much more sophisticated than the commonly used materials used in mainland China.

It is simple and not wasteful.

Three days later, the colors in the three wooden basins gradually became richer, red, yellow and blue.

Lin Dong finally understood that the three primary colors made by Mr. Gui actually had three primary colors. As long as these three colors are available, other colors can be adjusted at will. Using the three primary colors to adjust other colors is a simple thing for Lin Dong.

Moreover, the three colors made by Turtle Old are all full-attribute pigments that contain five characteristics of gold, wood, water, fire and earth!

After the color is soaked, it will be a harsh extraction work.

In the end, Lin Dong had three more pigment essences the size of a blue brick in his hand.

The process is of course difficult. The large amount of source power released every day has made Lin Dong's body reach the brink of collapse several times and is exhausted.

However, Lin Dong was surprised to find that when he was tired, he seemed to have twice the result with half the effort. Now Lin Dong's strength has approached the level 6 level, only one step away from level 7.

"Lin Dong, clean up and we'll leave right away." Mr. Gui said anxiously.

Lin Dong carefully packed the cards and pigments, "What's the hurry? I feel that I'm one step closer to the promotion recently. This place is very quiet. I want to stay in seclusion here for a while to see if it can succeed."

Mr. Turtle seemed very uneasy and ran around the room. Mr. Turtle has been in a state of anxiety these days, and I don’t know why.
Chapter completed!
