Chapter 12: The Harvest
The excavation process was very smooth, because Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yue had come to the deepest part of the mine, and the isolation effect of the rocks here on the immortal consciousness had reached the limit, so there was basically no scattered cultivation of the spirit stones that would come here to excavate, so it took more than two hours, and Zhang Yue finally saw the large number of spirit stones that Zhang Yuan said before.
In fact, it is still a bit inaccurate to say that there are a lot of them, after all, compared to the real rich mining area, the spirit stones in front of me may not even be enough for a fraction of others, but for this abandoned mine, many scattered cultivators may not have seen so many spirit stones in their lives.
When Zhang Yue cut off the last rock wrapped in the spirit stone, the first spirit stone appeared in front of Zhang Yue's eyes, different from the gentle feeling of the spirit coin in his hand, just close to the fire attribute spirit stone, Zhang Yue felt a violent heat wave rolling towards him, of course, this violent heat wave was not emitted by the spirit stone in front of him.
The first spirit stone that appeared was just a low-level spirit stone, the spirit stone was embedded in a rock full of holes, only the size of a child's fist, showing a pale red color, but along the gap next to it, I saw the bright red in the rock.
Zhang Yue didn't do it again, but Zhang Yuan stepped forward directly, pulled out the wind sword that was still pierced into the rock, took the wind sword, and carefully buckled the low-level spirit stone from the rock, Zhang Yuan did not put the spirit stone into the storage bag, but put it into the space-time storage warehouse, for the formation at the entrance of the cave, Zhang Yuan always felt that he could detect the spirit stone in the storage bag, so Zhang Yuan felt that it was better to be careful.
After that, there is no need for Zhang Yue, although the Wind Sword is Zhang Yue's magic weapon, but with its hardness and Zhang Yuan's own strength, it is still possible to cut the rocks one by one, but it is far from the speed of Zhang Yue before, but at this moment, there is no need for the speed of multiple pieces, because the rocks between the spirit stones and the spirit stones are already very thin, if you are not careful, it is likely to directly divide the spirit stones, in that case, you will lose a little.
In order to prevent others from disturbing him, Zhang Yue withdrew from the place where he started excavating, guarding against being discovered by others, and handed over the task of harvesting spirit stones to Zhang Yuan alone.
Zhang Yue waited at the entrance of the cave for more than an hour, Zhang Yuan finally walked out of the mine with excitement on his face, Zhang Yue looked at the look on Zhang Yuan's face, and knew that the harvest this time must be not small, turned his head to look outside, and after making sure that there was no one else nearby, Zhang Yue finally couldn't help but be curious, and asked Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Yuan, how many spirit stones have been dug up this time?"
"Hehe, the harvest is quite rich, there are a total of seven high-grade spirit stones, thirty-six middle-grade spirit stones, and one hundred and fourteen low-grade spirit stones, but it's a pity that if you dig it after a few decades, I'm afraid that the best spirit stones will be born in it, and in the center of the high-grade spirit stones, I found a pool of spiritual liquid, but it hasn't been condensed yet. β
Listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Zhang Yue was also excited, sure enough, anything will be solved in front of Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan always continues to create miracles, maybe he shouldn't have complained that this place is an abandoned mine, for Zhang Yuan, how can there be a waste mine, even if it is a waste mine, as long as Zhang Yuan wants to dig, he can dig a rich mine.
Although the harvest this time is quite rich, but the fire attribute spirit stone is of no use to Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yue, after all, the fire attribute and their own physique are not suitable, and Lin Feng and Thunder God Johnson are lucky, if they just dig by themselves, I am afraid that they will not have such a big harvest for a few years.
In order to dig that pile of spirit stones, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yue have wasted more than four hours, and I am afraid that it is almost dusk at this moment, so Zhang Yuan decided to stop mining today, after all, there are still two people waiting for them in the inn.
Zhang Yuan and the two walked in the direction of the exit, and met the three of Thor, Johnson, halfway through, I don't know when, the three of them actually came together, which made Zhang Yuan a little surprised, because Lin Feng had clearly said before that if several people were in the same place at the same time, it would be a waste of immortal knowledge, so it was better for everyone to be separated, so that they could also search for the largest range as much as possible, but at this moment, the three of them came together again, so Zhang Yuan would inevitably have a trace of doubt.
When Zhang Yuan saw the three of Thor, Thor-Johnson basically found Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yue at the same time, and before Zhang Yuan asked the doubts in his heart, Thor-Johnson first said to Zhang Yuan aggrievedly: "Zhang Yuan, after I go back, I will find a magic weapon to take advantage of first, otherwise, I will suffer too much." β
Because Thor Johnson belongs to the supernatural and has never fought for a magic weapon from himself before, Zhang Yuan did not prepare any magic weapon for him, but at this moment, he suddenly made such a request to himself, which really made Zhang Yuan a little puzzled, and after a few simple questions to the three of them, Zhang Yuan finally knew what was going on.
It turned out that after he and Zhang Yue left, Thor Johnson first found a spirit stone, but this spirit stone was buried nearly ten meters underground, if you want to take it out, you must get the rock on the ground out, Thor Johnson does not have his own magic weapon, so he can only use the pickaxe obtained at the entrance of the mine, although the pickaxe is just an ordinary thing, but Thor Johnson wrapped it with his own ability energy and then it was like a divine weapon, although so, but in the face of the rocks here, it is still a little insufficient, just digging less than a meter deep, the pickaxe is completely scrapped, in desperation, Thor Johnson could only ask Lin Feng for help.
Fortunately, although Lin Feng is only a cultivator of the innate realm, his father still left a flying sword for him, even if Lin Feng can't manipulate this flying sword as he wishes for the time being, but it is still enough to dig rocks, with Lin Feng's help, Thor Johnson finally took out the spirit stone an hour later, but because he helped himself to take the spirit stone, it also delayed Lin Feng a lot of time, so Thor Johnson had the heart to find another spirit stone for Lin Feng.
Maybe Thor's Johnson's luck today is really good, it didn't take long to find a spirit stone again, of course, this piece of spirit stone was directly given to Lin Feng, of course, if Lin Feng wants to get the spirit stone, he still needs to dig it himself, fortunately, this spirit stone is not as deep as the one just now, and it is not vertically below the ground, you only need to dig parallel to the wall to get it, so you can save a lot of time.
When the third spirit stone was discovered, Lin Feng was still digging his own spirit stone, and Thor Johnson looked at Lin Feng who was busy, and could only find someone to help again, so Xin Feizi was also honored to join the great cause of excavation.
In the following time, Thor Johnson himself harvested two spirit stones, and Lin Feng and Xin Feizi each got one, it can be said that today is already a great harvest, in fact, Thor Johnson can find several spirit stones not because of Thor's good luck, but because of Thor's high strength, although Thor-Johnson is a super-ability, but he has also stepped into the ranks of immortals, so the scope of his immortal consciousness is larger than others, but who of the ordinary Immortal Realm cultivators will put down their identities and come here to mine, presumably the Immortal Realm cultivators will be greater than the harvest here as long as they find a job casuallyTherefore, those cultivators who only have the True Immortal Realm or the Innate Realm often miss the spirit stones that are outside the scope of their immortal consciousness.
If Thor-Johnson continues to look around, he must be able to continue to find those missed spirit stones, but Zhang Yuan is unwilling to wait any longer, and Zhang Yuan also has a perspective view of the surrounding rocks, the spirit stones do exist, but the depth is not shallow, there is absolutely no way to continue to obtain spirit stones in a short period of time, so Zhang Yuan decided to leave this place immediately and return to the Tianyuan Inn to rest and then make plans.
Thor Johnson will not have any objections to Zhang Yuan's decision, but Lin Feng and Xin Feizi are a little unsatisfied, after entering the mine cave, they will definitely stay for a very long time, after all, every time they enter, they will consume a certain amount of spirit coins, if everyone is as willful as Zhang Yuan, how can there be a good harvest, but the two also know that if Thor Johnson leaves, I am afraid it will be difficult for the two to harvest the spirit stones continuously, since this time it is not empty-handed, it is better to follow Zhang Yuan's advice and go back together, presumably Zhang Yuan and the others will not just dig such a once, As long as you have a good relationship with Thor-Johnson, if you want to dig up spirit stones in the future, I'm afraid it will be a very simple matter.
Put their respective harvests into the storage bag, Zhang Yuan and the others walked in the direction of the cave, although they had to go to the house at the entrance of the cave to pay some fees to buy pickaxes, but they didn't need to do anything when they left, but the moment they stepped out of the hole, Zhang Yuan seemed to feel a wave of energy swept over his body, Zhang Yuan understood that his previous guess was likely to be correct, the formation of this cave entrance must be able to detect the spirit stone in the storage bag, after all, the production of the storage bag did not use the empty spirit stone, so its defensive effect is not good, and it is unknown if it is detected by some clever formationsFortunately, Zhang Yuan took the first step to receive all the spirit stones into the space-time storage warehouse, so they were not detected by the formation.
Glancing at the house next to the entrance of the cave with deep meaning, Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, and left the mine with a few people, and after Zhang Yuan's figures completely disappeared above the horizon, the sound of the conversation between the three of them sounded in the room.
"Huoli, these people who just left only entered when it was close to noon, right?"
"Yes, Elder Yun!"
"Well, as luck would have it, we found four low-level spirit stones in just a few hours, you go inside and check them out, ask the others where they dug the spirit stones, and search around there. β
"Yes, Elder Yun!"
Immediately, a person from the True Immortal Realm walked out of the room and quickly disappeared into the mine.
When Zhang Yuan and the others returned to the Tianyuan Inn, the sky had completely darkened, and along the way, Lin Feng and Xin Feizi never asked Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yue about their harvest, because before, Lin Feng and Xin Feizi both saw the two of them enter the depths of the mine, where the immortal sense was basically invalid, so it was impossible to gain anything, Lin Feng and Xin Feizi did not ask and only took care of Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yue's face, and then Zhang Yuan suddenly decided to leave the mine in a hurry, presumably he was also hit, and anyone who still got nothing after working hard for a few hours would be hit to a certain extentγ
Zhang Yuan saw that the two didn't ask, and they just didn't bother to answer, if it was just Lin Feng, Zhang Yuan would take the initiative to say it, but after all, there were outsiders present at the moment, and before Xin Feizi's personality was determined, Zhang Yuan would still remain mysterious about himself.
In the Tianyuan Inn, Qin Siyu and Kawabe Xiaomei did not leave, they all waited obediently in the inn, after all, they were not familiar with the place here, and all of them were some cultivators who had no legal management, and the two were not willing to cause unnecessary trouble for Zhang Yuan, so they stayed in the inn, of course, the two of them were not waiting in the inn with nothing to do, after all, the people around Zhang Yuan, the strength of the two was relatively low, if they did not work harder than others, sooner or later, the two of them could only look up to other people, in order to keep up with Zhang Yuan's progress, the two did not forget to practice in their spare time, strive to be able to step into the realm of true immortals one day earlier.
Among the two, Kawabe Xiaomei is already the strength of the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, as for Qin Siyu, since the last time he was suddenly promoted to become a cultivator of the Innate Realm, his strength has been standing still, and there is basically no progress, so until this moment, Qin Siyu is still only a cultivator in the early stage of the Innate Realm, but because Qin Siyu's cultivation is relatively good, it is still difficult for Kawabe Xiaomei to break it when facing the protective shield cast by Qin Siyu.
Wake up the two of them from the meditation, Zhang Yuan asked the inn to send some food, of course, according to the strength of everyone at this moment, it is possible to survive without food at all, but Zhang Yuan wanted to know more about Xin Feizi, so he arranged some food, so that everyone would not be embarrassed to sit in the courtyard and chat.
The food sent by the inn is something that Zhang Yuan has never seen at all, but its price also makes Zhang Yuan a little painful, just four side dishes, a plate of fruit and a pot of wine cost Zhang Yuan the price of fifty spirit coins, if it is not for today's great harvest, I am afraid Zhang Yuan will not be willing to make such a move.
In just one day today, Zhang Yuan has already harvested tens of thousands of spirit coins, although all the spirit stones in his hands are fire attributes, but the fire attribute spirit stones have an excellent attraction to alchemists, so Zhang Yuan is not worried about selling these spirit stones, if he can, Zhang Yuan prefers to use these spirit stones to cultivate his own people, as for the cost in the future, it is better to find another way.
"Zhang Yuan, you are really a leader of a loser, let's eat this tonight, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to enter the mine tomorrow, right?" Lin Feng said suddenly, Lin Feng is still a little unaccustomed to Zhang Yuan's extravagance, after all, his experience since childhood has doomed Lin Feng's character, and his father's early death also made Lin Feng learn to be in charge of the house prematurely, so if it were Lin Feng, I am afraid that even sleeping on the streets would not cost a hundred spirit coins to live here, let alone spend spirit coins to buy these things that only solve the desire of the tongue.
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly, and did not refute Lin Feng's words, but turned his head to look at Xin Feizi, who was not polite, and directly picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass, and then poured it directly into his mouth.
The elixir entered the throat, Xin Feizi closed his eyes and felt it, a stream of true yuan was born from Xin Feizi's abdomen, followed the esophagus, and surged up Xin Feizi's head in the blink of an eye, like a cosmic explosion, the suddenly generated true yuan exploded in his body, and began to radiate outward through his body, and in a moment, Xin Feizi was as if drunk, and the morning glow climbed on Xin Feizi's cheeks.
After tasting it for a while, Xin Feizi said loudly: "Good wine! It's just a pity that there is still a little gap compared to the real immortal wine, and there are too few true elements left in the body." β
Opening his eyes and looking at Zhang Yuan, Xin Feizi found that Zhang Yuan was still looking at him steadily, and in a blink of an eye, Xin Feizi understood what Zhang Yuan meant, and after putting a purple fruit in his mouth and chewing it slowly, he said: "My name is Xin Feizi, I think everyone knows it, because I have the ability to cultivate medicinal materials with one hand, so I took refuge in the Elixir Pavilion, because of its special status, the Elixir Pavilion can always collect all kinds of medicinal materials, so there, my ability can also be fully displayed." β
Speaking of this, Xin Feizi paused, as if reminiscing, as if remembering, the courtyard suddenly quieted down, and after a few minutes, Xin Feizi continued: " I originally thought that this would be my future life, however, something I didn't expect happened, in the Elixir Pavilion, I fell in love with an alchemist, of course, the other party is just a relatively low-level alchemist, after a long time of hard work, I finally had the opportunity to get close to her, although I continue to please her, just as an alchemist, how can she take a fancy to me like a gardener-like existence, but I know that she knows my thoughts, although she did not accept me, but she has never deliberately alienated meγ β
Sighing deeply, Xin Feizi swallowed the food in her mouth fiercely, "I still remember that it was a rainy night, she suddenly appeared in front of me, she told me that when she was ironing the furnace for a senior alchemist, she accidentally blew up the Dan furnace, and also destroyed a lot of the heavenly and earthly treasures in the Dan Fang, so she needs to secretly go to the medicine garden to pick some and put them back, and the exploded Dan furnace also needs to make up this spirit coin to find the refiner to refine it again, I hope I can help her get through the difficulties." β
"You agreed?" Zhang Yuan suddenly interjected.
Xin Feizi nodded, affirming Zhang Yuan's inquiry, "She disappeared after leaving the medicine garden, completely disappeared, and there has never been a senior alchemist who asked her to help iron the furnace, after all, if an alchemist wants to iron the furnace, he will generally only ask his own disciples to help, which can not only make his own Dan furnace more spiritual, but also enable his disciples to improve their alchemy." β
"It has nothing to do with you, does it?" asked Zhang Yuan again.
"Hehe, there is a Silent Fruit in the Medicine Garden! It was taken away by her! And the Medicine Garden is a forbidden land, except for the elder level, only I can enter, and there is a memory formation around the Medicine Garden, so it can be recorded that I took her in, and in order to survive, I can only leave. β
