Chapter 693 Flying
Chen Dao glanced at Li Qiao, who looked satisfied, then looked at Li Mingyuan and said, "Prime Minister Li is very knowledgeable. I have something I would like to ask you."
"But there's no harm in talking."
"I wonder if Prime Minister Li has ever heard of dragon's beard grass?"
Chen Dao asked, "Dragon Beard Grass is the medicinal material needed for the next advancement of Xiao Yuan, Da Huang, Er Huang, and the Crimson Flame Chicken. Chen Dao had already asked all the merchants who cooperated with Chen Family Village, including the Zheng family, to help find it. However, neither the Zheng family nor the other merchants who cooperated with Chen Family Village had ever heard of Dragon Beard Grass, let alone helped find it."
"Dragon's Beard Grass?"
Li Mingyuan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Chen Dao with a deep gaze and said meaningfully, "Young friend's martial arts talent is truly extraordinary."
"?"
A big question mark appeared in Chen Dao's mind. He was just asking about dragon's beard grass. What did that have to do with his martial arts talent?
Fortunately, Li Mingyuan didn't keep Chen Dao in doubt for too long.
"Dragon's Beard Grass is a priceless medicinal herb."
Li Mingyuan said, "This medicine is extremely rare. Even the royal treasury only has a small amount of Dragon Beard Grass."
So precious?
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao immediately realized the preciousness of Dragon Beard Grass. Even the wealthy royal family only had a small amount of it, making it extremely rare and uncommon.
"I wonder what the use of this dragon's beard grass is?"
Chen Dao asked curiously.
"Dragon Beard Grass can help martial artists of the upper three ranks purify their true energy!"
Li Qiao replied, "It is one of the medicinal herbs that top-rank martial artists dream of."
"I see."
Chen Dao suddenly realized why Li Mingyuan had said he had extraordinary martial arts talent. He had asked Li Mingyuan about Dragon Beard Grass, which was a medicinal herb exclusive to top-three martial artists. Naturally, Li Mingyuan would have assumed he was a top-three martial artist.
In fact, Chen Dao was indeed a third-grade martial artist. Several days ago, Chen Dao had already broken into the third-grade realm with the help of the True Qi Chicken, and was now a third-grade martial artist.
"Young friend, if you want to cultivate with dragon's beard grass, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult."
Li Mingyuan said, "As far as I know, dragon's beard grass is only produced in small quantities in the depths of the Cangmang Mountains and on the grasslands. It is almost impossible to find dragon's beard grass on the land of Kyushu."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao frowned and said, "Almost impossible? In other words, it's still possible?"
"indeed so."
Li Mingyuan nodded and said, "Young friend, you should know that many powerful families in the Nine Provinces have connections with the barbarian tribes of the grasslands. Therefore, many powerful families can obtain small amounts of Dragon Beard Grass from the barbarians through private transactions, however..."
Li Mingyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Noble families do not sell Dragon Beard Grass on the market. Instead, they use it to win over powerful individuals and help their own family members cultivate. Therefore, apart from noble families, almost no one can possess Dragon Beard Grass."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao frowned even more deeply, feeling that this was quite a difficult situation.
Dragon's beard grass is only found in the possession of aristocratic families, and these families, in particular, would not sell it...
This was undoubtedly extremely bad news for Chen Dao. He couldn't buy it with money, and Chenjia Village's current strength was insufficient to shake the powerful clans.
Obtaining Dragon Beard Grass to help the village's beasts advance is going to be quite difficult...
After frowning and pondering for a long time without coming up with a good solution, Chen Dao sighed and temporarily gave up on the matter.
"Cheng-ge'er".
Chen Dao stood up and instructed Chen Cheng: "Arrange accommodations for Prime Minister Li, Uncle Li, and Miss Zheng."
"Yes."
Chen Cheng led Li Mingyuan and the other two away.
Chen Dao stood in the courtyard, silent for a long time, before turning around and going back inside to rest.

The next day, Chen Dao did not sleep in as usual, but woke up early and called out to the two Chi Yan, Chi Yan I and Chi Yan II, which were hovering in the sky.
"Giggle."
Soon, two Crimson Flame Chickens, which resembled giant birds, landed in front of Chen Dao's house. Chen Dao took out the bamboo leaves, slaughtered chicken meat, and wheat that he had prepared in advance and fed them to Xiao Yuan and the two Crimson Flame Chickens.
"Mr. Chen."
Just then, Zheng Qiuyan, who had nothing to do in the village, came over, glanced at the bundle on Chen Cheng's back, and asked, "Are you going out?"
"good."
Chen Dao nodded and said, "The matter of the Black-Clad Guards should also be resolved."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiuyan's delicate body trembled, and her pretty face was full of worry: "Young Master Chen intends to handle the Black-Clad Guards matter himself?"
Actually, Zheng Qiuyan already knew that Chen Dao wanted to deal with the Black-Clad Guards herself when they were having dinner yesterday. She just thought that Chen Dao would choose to deal with the Black-Clad Guards near Chenjia Village, so she didn't say anything.
After all, Li Qiao was in Chenjia Village. With Li Qiao, a first-rank martial artist, there was no way he could put Chen Dao in danger.
But Zheng Qiuyan never expected that Chen Dao would actually plan to leave the Chenjia Village area and deal with the Black-Clad Guards outside.
"of course."
Chen Dao nodded solemnly. The development of Chenjia Village today has not come easily, and he would never allow the arrival of the Black-Clad Guards to cause any harm to Chenjia Village.
"Master Chen..."
Just as Zheng Qiuyan was about to continue persuading him, Chen Dao had already flipped over and climbed onto Chi Yan Yi's back.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Qiuyan's beautiful eyes widened. If she wasn't mistaken, Chen Dao was planning to... ride these two giant birds?
Not only Chen Dao, but Chen Cheng also flipped over and sat on Chi Yan Er's back.
Immediately, Chen Dao gave the order: "Let's go."
"Giggle!"
Crimson Flame One and Crimson Flame Two let out a loud cry and flapped their wings, ready to take flight into the sky.
Seeing this, Zheng Qiuyan didn't care about anything else and hurriedly stepped forward: "Young Master Chen, wait for me."
With that, Zheng Qiuyan leaped up and landed behind Chen Dao.
The next moment, a strong gust of air rushed towards her, and then Zheng Qiuyan saw herself gradually moving away from the ground...
"This……"
Zheng Qiuyan's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the ground receding further and further away from her, and at the Chenjia Village buildings gradually shrinking in her sight. She was completely stunned.
Flying has always been something that humans can only dream of. Even high-level martial artists cannot stay in the air without any leverage.
However, at that very moment, she suddenly took to the sky, which was utterly unbelievable.
Seeing Zheng Qiuyan's shocked expression, Chen Dao couldn't help but smile. In fact, when he first rode on Chi Yan Yi's back and flew into the sky, his performance was not much better than Zheng Qiuyan's.
However, he can now accept it with a calm expression.
"Miss Zheng, rest assured, the Crimson Flame Chicken flies very smoothly and will not be in any danger to its life."
Chen Dao smiled and reassured Zheng Qiuyan.
By this time, Zheng Qiuyan had also come to her senses, her pretty face still showing shock: "Young Master Chen, this is too unbelievable."
