Jia Daoshi pointed to the cliff in front of him and explained, "Look at the direction of the mountain range in front of us. It runs east-west. Just look at the top of the mountain. The western peaks gradually move westward, and the eastern peaks gradually move eastward, forming a double-peak structure!"

"Looking up, the surface of Yinshan is full of canyons, valleys, and ravines. The terrain is very uneven, and there are very obvious features of buried limestone karst landforms!"

"In other words, what you see here as two mountain peaks was originally just one, a single entity. However, due to subsequent tectonic movements, such as earthquakes, the original mountain was split into two!"

"Judging from the exposed rocks, the fracture marks are not abrupt and are regular, so this location should be the cracked area of ​​the entire plot!"

"Judging from the rocks scattered throughout the canyon, the rate of cracking is very slow."

"This means that the mountain is still shifting, and after thousands of years of shifting, there must have been gaps and cracks at the bottom of the mountain!"

"Although this gap and crack looks small now, as time goes by, this small gap will become a large canyon! This is the change of the world."

Jia Daoshi has finished his explanation.

It used some technical terms, which completely baffled the eldest prince, Wu Ce.

"Your Highness? Your Highness? What are you daydreaming about?" Jia Daoshi turned his head and saw Wu Ce's dazed expression. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Highness, you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies. You must remain calm and composed under any circumstances!"

Wu Ce then came to his senses, took a deep breath, took a step back, clasped his hands in a fist and said to Jia Daoshi, "I admire Jia Daoshi's erudition and am completely in awe of him!"

This time, Wu Ce was truly put to the test by Jia Dao!

Jia Daoshi's narration just now sounded incredibly mysterious!

Just by looking at the mountain, one can guess that there is a gap at the bottom that allows people to pass through!

That alone is enough to make you a living god!

"Hahaha, Your Highness, you flatter me! You flatter me!" Jia Daoshi laughed. "I just happened to dabble in astronomy and geography before. As a top soldier, you have to know more, and the more you know, the more lives you can have!"

"If you can seize all the advantages of timing, location, and popular support when a war breaks out, it will be difficult not to win!"

"The right time, the right place, and the right people... It seems I haven't read enough books..." Wu Ce looked ashamed after hearing Jia Daoshi's words.

Seeing this, Jia Daoshi laughed and said, "Why do you say that, Your Highness? Compared to others, Your Highness is already very outstanding. As for me..."

"The reason I know these things is because I had better learning resources before."

"Of course, if the Crown Prince has any problems in the future, he can come to me." Jia Daoshi smiled faintly. He had a good impression of this Crown Prince, which explained why Lei Bao had been so eager to recruit people for him.

Looking back now, I realize I was too hasty.

But you can't blame him; Lei Bao's way of expressing himself was problematic to begin with.

Wu Ce was overjoyed upon hearing Jia Daoshi's words.

If we could get Jia Daoshi's help, even if we didn't win the struggle for the throne among the princes, we could at least escape unscathed.

At the same time, Wu Ce had a vague feeling that his life trajectory would change after meeting Jia Daoshi!

Because this Jatis in front of me seems to know a lot!

"Hmm? What's that smell?"

Just then, Jia Daoshi suddenly smelled a very pungent odor, which seemed to be coming from the gap.

"Oh, this must be the smell of sulfur stone."

Wu Ce also sniffed the air and then explained.

"Sulfurite?"

Jia Daoshi's heart skipped a beat.

Wu Ce nodded and said, "That's right, that's what we call the soil in this place. There's a lot of this kind of soil around Juebi City, in the Yinshan Mountains. It's because of this kind of soil that it's so difficult for us to grow crops."

"Let me see!" Jia Daoshi immediately walked towards the gap!

If it's really what he thinks, then this time it's a sure thing!

Wu Ce quickly followed, and seeing Jia Daoshi's excited expression, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

The people of Juebi City all hate this kind of soil, so why did Jia Daoshi seem so excited when he saw it?

Could this thing have some other purpose?

As Jia Daoshi walked to the gap, the pungent smell became even stronger!

“Jatis, please look. That yellow stuff on the cliff face is what we call sulfur stone.”

Wu Ce pointed to the yellowish layer on the cliff wall inside the gap and said.

Jia Daoshi also saw it.

This isn't sulfite at all, it's saltpeter!

He had been sending people to search for it, but the results were far from what he expected!

I never expected this thing to be hidden in Cliff City!!

To confirm again, Jia Daoshi stepped forward, wiped his hand on the ground, and sniffed it.

In this way, the gunpowder supply was secured!

"Your Highness, you'll soon find out that all these things are treasures," Jia Daoshi said with a smile. "This sulfurous stone can be used to make gunpowder!"

"Gunpowder? What is that?" Wu Ce was completely baffled!

"Gunpowder is a great thing that can burst into a violent flame and has a lot of destructive power!" Jia Daoshi laughed. "Quickly get the brothers over here and take all these sulfur stones with us! By the way, the First Prince just said that the entire city of Juebi is full of this stuff?"

Wu Ce nodded: "That's right, that's exactly it!"

"Jia Tisi, this kind of sulfur stone is readily available in Cliff City, no matter how much you need! If Tisi needs it, then you've come to the right place!"

"Besides these sulfur stones, there are also some powders with a brighter color than sulfur stones. There is a lot of this stuff in Yinshan as well."

"That's saltpeter powder!" Jia Daoshi took a deep breath and nodded. "Good, good! Now, have people collect sulfur stones and sulfur powder! Remember, the more the better, and the purer the color, the better!"

"Also, there are two things that must never be put together. Remember, they must be stored separately!!"

"Furthermore, have the soldiers go to the surrounding mountains to cut down trees, then burn all of them to make charcoal!"

"You might not know gunpowder, but you must know charcoal, right?"

"Of course I know." Wu Ce was embarrassed; he really had no idea what Jia Daoshi was up to.

"Choose the hardest firewood to burn, and after it's burned into charcoal, select the hardest part and then crush it into powder!"

As Jia Daoshi issued his orders, the canyon quickly became lively.

"By the way, when I first entered the Cliff City, I think there was a pottery shop?" Jia Daoshi thought for a moment and then suddenly asked.
