Yi Xingchen ordered, and Lucas, Dara and Simba came quickly. As soon as he saw the three of them, Mu En immediately took out three of the hundreds of books he had brought back from leaving the country and handed them to the three of them. Yi Xingchen noticed that the titles of the books were "Identification and Treatment of Medicinal Herbs", "Encyclopedia of Food" and "Overview of Pharmacology". Seeing this, Yi Xingchen was even more satisfied with Mu En's thoughtfulness. It was also because of these details that Yi Xingchen's trust in Mu En increased a little, and he felt that sending him on a trip this time was really a wise choice.

These items were arranged one by one, and Yi Xingchen had nothing to worry about. The thing he was most curious about was undoubtedly the product of alchemy, the Priest's Staff.

From Mu En's mouth, he learned that this priest's staff was the most expensive of all the items purchased by the merchant group this time, costing two hundred gold coins. This naturally aroused Yi Xingchen's interest. Moreover, Sheehan is a priest, everything is ready only to the east wind, Yi Xingchen can't wait to see the true face of the priest's staff, and then see how Sheehan uses the staff.

However, when Yi Xingchen saw the priest's staff with his own eyes and found that the so-called staff was nothing more than a simple wooden stick with a pattern engraved and an energy crystal on the top, the huge difference between reality and imagination made Yi Xingchen still a little disappointed, and he could only hope that the effect of the staff would make his eyes shine.

Sheen told Yi Xingchen that he was equipped with the Priest's Staff and should be able to perform apprentice-level psychic pacifying techniques. The main function of a professional pastor is to relieve people's tension and relieve the physical pain of those who have been injured. Yi Xingchen thought to himself, in this way, the pastor of Xinghua Kingdom is actually equivalent to a psychiatrist on Blue Mercury. The priest's staff, on the other hand, is equivalent to a hypnotic tool. According to the characteristics of hypnosis, it can be inferred that the more fragile the soul, the more susceptible to the influence of the priest, and the more likely it is to be hypnotized by the priest's staff, so as to soothe the soul and calm the wound.

Therefore, handing over the priest's staff to Sheen to use is undoubtedly complementary, not to mention, Yi Xingchen is following the path of a swordsman's sword qi, and the priest's staff is of no use to him. Thinking about this clearly, Yi Xingchen had little interest in the priest's staff.

Up to this point, Yi Xingchen thought that he had done his best, but he didn't expect that later, he would discover another surprise - he accidentally discovered a few special books.

After handing over the priest's staff to Sheen as he wished, Yi Xingchen saw that Mu En was already tired, so he asked Mu En to go back to rest first, while he himself picked out a dozen books and handed them to the king's guards who accompanied him, preparing to move back to the palace and read them well.

These books describe wonderful stories, never-before-seen worlds, and all kinds of magical items, which greatly increased Yi Xingchen's knowledge.

At this moment, a surprise was born! Among the books that interested Yi Xingchen was a travelogue book about the nobles of the Eastern Departure Country. This nobleman from the Eastern Departure Kingdom described in the book what he saw and heard when he went to the Eastern Great Xia Empire in the Eastern Departure Country.

The Great Xia Empire was a superpower, with hundreds of millions of people, millions of troops, and a rich and vast land...... In the book, the nobles of the Eastern Departure Kingdom did not hide their envy and jealousy of the wealth of the Great Xia Dynasty, and described to the best of their abilities that the Great Xia Dynasty possessed countless rare treasures, and even the wealth of the Great Xia Dynasty was far greater than that of the Eastern Departure Kingdom. It even shows that in some of the transactions between the Eastern Departure Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom, the Great Xia Kingdom occupies many benefits.

There is also one that also makes Yi Xingchen's eyes shine, it is a book that remembers the history of the Dongli Kingdom in detail, especially recording several major events related to the Great Xia Empire in the Dongli Kingdom.

It turned out that under the seemingly calm and peaceful surface, there was indeed a turbulent undercurrent. In these short twenty years, the Eastern Departure Kingdom and the Great Xia Empire have fought more than five national wars with more than 10,000 people.

But the reason why these large-scale national wars broke out was not because of the more powerful Great Xia Empire, which had the intention of annexing the country to the east. Every national war was triggered by Dongli taking the initiative to attack the border cities of the Great Xia Empire.

Each time, Dongli suffered a severe blow from the Great Xia Empire, losing a large number of soldiers, but also grabbing a large amount of wealth and population. The Great Xia Empire wanted to take revenge on Dongli, but because of the difficult mountain paths, it had to be terminated and built defenses instead. In addition to the fact that there were almost no attacks from other countries, and there were no internal wars, the national strength was always quickly restored and strengthened within four or five years. Because of this, after leaving the country for four or five years, he would send troops to Daxia to try to occupy the territory, and if he couldn't occupy it, he would go to plunder.

Yi Xingchen calculated the calendar brought back by the Xinghua Business Group, and it had been exactly six years since the last battle between Dongli and Great Xia. Perhaps, in a short time, the two countries will have another big war. As the saying goes, the sandpiper and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. Perhaps, this time their battle can add external factors without being monotonous and boring - maybe Xinghua Kingdom can get some benefits from it, Yi Xingchen thought to himself.

But Yi Xingchen only had this bold idea, and he would not make a rash decision and action. Because, Yi Xingchen also knows his own situation, he has not been there in person, and the information he obtained is all Mu En's report, including Mu En's speculation, Yi Xingchen himself does not know the specific situation, and the plan may not be objective enough.

Yi Xingchen will not make a conclusion, he still has to continue to rely on the Xinghua business group to investigate more information, combined with the opinions of all parties and the strength of Xinghua State, it is only right to slowly try to advance. Therefore, Yi Xingchen did not make this idea public for a while, but he just made up his mind. Next, Yi Xingchen needs to return to Blue Mercury according to Mu En's suggestion and prepare the goods for the second trade of the Xinghua Business Group.

In addition, there was also a small caravan that came back with the Xinghua merchant group, this small caravan was composed of eight people from Huangling Village, and the person in charge was Zhao Jin. When Yi Xingchen finally had time to meet them, they unabashedly proposed that they wanted to purchase a batch of coarse salt from Xinghua City and transport it to Dongli to sell.

Yi Xingchen naturally would not refuse anything that could make Xinghua Kingdom profitable, but he still attached one condition, that is, Zhao Jin and the others needed to swear in advance to join Xinghua Kingdom and become temporary residents of Xinghua Kingdom. Temporary residents of Xinghua enjoy the normal treatment of nationals and have normal business rights in Xinghua country.

Living in the mountains for a long time and living an almost isolated life, Zhao Jin and other hunters have no concept of the country at all. Whoever can make money for them, they can serve whomever they want. Yi Xingchen's conditions were not bad, so they agreed without the slightest hesitation.
