Chapter 12: The Mine

The look of shock on the faces of the chamber of commerce's top brass gradually subsided.

During this process, Fang Ran kept quiet.

In the big tent, the stagnant air began to circulate again, and Fang Ran continued: "After the Great War, there will inevitably be people who covet the industry and this oasis of the wasteland. The Night Patrol had already encountered the first wave of enemies last night, and they would only grow more and more before we showed enough strength to intimidate them. I'm going to rescue my sister, but before that, Arajin must get through the difficulties in front of him. ”

"Arajin is not afraid of them. A young voice said firmly.

Fang Ran had this person in his memory. Hu Guiyu has good strength and is the deputy dart head of Huangchen. After the war, he quickly adjusted his mindset and inspired others to overcome adversity.

Fang Ran nodded at him and agreed: "That's right, Huangchen is not afraid of anyone. But the dragon swims in the shallows, the tiger falls in Pingyang, and the young people are always watching. Asakami needs to regather enough resources and build up enough defense forces in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, if you are not careful, I am afraid that the boat will capsize in the gutter. ”

"The overall recovery of residual resources has been done, but in some places the damage is too bad, and the manpower is limited, so it will take some time to clean up. Today, I'm going to compile the resources that I've sorted out into a book. An old man with white hair said slowly.

This old man is called Luo Lao. Luo Lao is a very respected person in the Huangchen Chamber of Commerce, and he took the lead in showing such cooperation and support, Fang Ran sat up straight, bowed and said, "In this way, there is Lao Luo." ”

"The little boy is polite. The old man is already dying, and Huangchen is the old man's home, which is nothing. ”

Fang Ran continued: "The tents that have been temporarily erected in the camp should be enough, so there is no need to continue to build them for the time being. I'll have another version of the topographic map in a moment, and it will only include the headquarters of the Wild Camp. Let's start the next restoration and expansion based on this. The improvised method will not last long, and I intend to separate the storeroom, the garrison, and the living quarters, and put them in their place. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient to manage personnel and materials, and on the other hand, there will be more emphasis on garrison defense. In the case of the previous few days, aside from the opponent's top combat power, at least the ordinary brave street battles, we can have better depth. ”

"It's not an overnight effort, and the cost is definitely not small......," Luo Lao stroked his beard and replied cautiously.

He could see that Fang Ran's purpose was to build this temporary camp into a walled city on top of this oasis, and then stay there for a long time, or even as a base camp.

Although the Wasteland Chamber of Commerce has been stationed here for a few years, the potential problems are also obvious. Luo Lao weighed for a moment and thought to himself: young people are radical, but their plans are inevitably incomplete. He kindly reminded:

"In the Wilderness of Abyssal Silence, this oasis occupied by Huangchen can be regarded as a rare area with stable spiritual power. But heaven and earth are impermanent, and no one can say how the spiritual power will flow in the next moment. When a large-scale spiritual storm is set off, even if it is an oasis, it makes no difference. The spirit storm swept through, and the bones were all over the ground, and no one was spared. Everyone wants to live in peace for a long time, but the reality is always more cruel. It's been five years since the last time all the staff moved to the Huangchenju. Five years of stable development can really be regarded as the favor of heaven. But in the past few days, I have looked at the wilderness in all directions, and I have seen many places where spiritual power is gradually getting out of control. The big battle a few days ago also disrupted the flow of spiritual power. I'm worried that sooner or later, this place will be swept away by a ghoststorm...... Little boy, it is safe to think more about the long-term construction. ”

We know that there is no eternal safe shelter in the world.

Luo Lao has had a lifetime of twists and turns in the field of Yuanmo, and he has seen a lot of things. What he hasn't said yet is that there are countless forces, which are stronger and more powerful than Huangchen. It's just because I'm lazy for a while, and I'm content with an oasis somewhere, and the time is too long. Then one day, a spiritual storm suddenly struck, and no matter whether they were prepared or not, whether they were well prepared, they were still as fragile as a piece of paper. After the storm passed, a force was buried in the wilderness and forgotten.

But Fang Ran had a mysterious smile on his face. He asked tentatively, "Isolation from the spirit storm doesn't seem to be something that is completely impossible?"

On the edge of the table, Mr. Zhuo Mo, the bookkeeper, stroked his beard, thoughtfully pointed to a pile of fragments of broken talismans on the table, and replied: "If you want to build for a long time, there is a way." ”

There was a long silence in the tent.

"You mean......" Luo Lao stopped talking.

"That's right, on the Yuanmo Star, there are also wealthy giants and gang rudders who are attracted by the rich spirit stone veins. They used their supreme supernatural powers to block the ravages of spiritual violence, and established many so-called trade cities in the wilderness of Yuanmo, in which they exchanged ideas and did all kinds of black and white transactions that saw people and did not see people. Zhuo Mo said this, and glanced at Fang Ran deeply.

"Trade City?" Fang Ran asked.

"Yes, Trade City. It takes a lot of money to keep the trade city away from the spirit storm, but considering that Yuanmo is a perfect stolen goods cave where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the law whip is beyond the reach, any price is worth it. ”

Needless to say, everyone in the Great Tent knew this.

It's just that, for a group of sinners, the best life is nothing more than gathering a group of like-minded companions like now, watching and helping each other, and seeking a slightly less difficult and difficult way to live.

As for the days like Yuanmo Trade City, isolated from the spirit storm, in a corner of peace, and full of sheng songs, they didn't dare to think about it at all!

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhuo Mo touched his nose and continued: "The method used by the Trade City is simple and rude, and it only needs a highly accomplished array master to take action, lay down the severance pillar outside the city to suppress the leylines, and use the power of the leylines to form a severing formation and wrap a city, and everything will be fine." It's no secret that this kind of thing is, the problem is that people like us can't do it. ”

"Doesn't that mean there's no way?" muttered someone in the crowd.

That's not true. There is another alternative. ”

"Tell me about it?" Fang Ran continued Zhuo Mo's words and guided.

Zhuo Mo raised his eyes again, glanced at Fang Ran, and confirmed that his expression was not joking for fun, but very serious, so he also replied seriously: "Breaking off the pillar of the town to suppress the leylines in order to protect a city." The scale of Huangchen is far from that large, so it doesn't necessarily have to be used to break off the town pillar...... The severance charm is fine, but it has to be complete, and the fragments on the table can't be. However, you also know that the complete severance talisman is extremely difficult to make, and the white chalcedony used in the engraving talisman is extremely hard and extremely difficult to carve, and the engraving talisman requires a well-trained array master to personally take action, let alone anyone can do it......"

"Talking about it is equal to saying it for nothing......"

This time, Fang Ran saw it clearly. This sentence, along with the previous muttering, was uttered by a small girl who was hidden in the crowd.

said that she was a little girl, but in fact she was not young, but she had a cute baby face, which made her look like a child.

She is Lian Qingyi, a pharmacist of the Chamber of Commerce.

In the Wilderness of Abyssal Silence, injuries are a rare and common thing, and even people's lives are often at stake, so the medicine master has a transcendent position in any force.

Lian Qingyi's methods are particularly superb, and with a golden needle in one hand, he pulled back many members of the Chamber of Commerce from before the ghost gate was closed. So although she ran around with a baby face and was open-mouthed, whoever saw her had to stop respectfully and salute and say hello.

Zhuo Mo was scolded by Lian Qingyi two sentences in succession, and he could only smile wryly and shake his head.

Seeing that Fang Ran was looking at herself, Lian Qingyi stepped forward and said to Fang Ran: "With our identity, we can't get a complete severance charm at all, this is one of them. If you have enough materials, it is impossible to make a severance charm, and this is the second thing. Fang Ran, I understand that you want to hold up a crumbling desolation at this moment, but it is difficult for a doctor to cure a disease, and it is impossible for us sinners to conjure up a severance formation out of thin air without a severance charm. You've figured it out. ”

I have to say that being taught such a lesson by a baby face is still quite disobedient.

Fang Ran's eyes closed for a moment, and at this moment, his mind sank into the Heavenly Machine Roulette. Before the roulette wheel of the heavenly machine, the analysis of the severance charm has been more than halfway through, and the time is roughly considered, and the severance charm is completely analyzed, but it will take another two or three days.

He secretly said in his heart: The complete severance charm, I will draw it for you. For computer nerves, as long as something has been parsed, it can definitely be used.

The only thing missing in the camp was the base plate for drawing the symbols. A batch of white chalcedony of not low quality is still indispensable.

Having made up his mind in his heart, Fang Ran didn't continue to spend too much time on this issue, but in the matter of perfecting the map that had just been hung up, he pressed down on the high-level officials of the Chamber of Commerce, repeatedly scrutinized and confirmed, and moved all the marks on the previous map to the new map.

So half a day has passed.

There are a lot of things in the camp that need to be confirmed by this group of high-level people, so after the mark was completed, everyone raced against time to return to their positions, and even Zhong Mingtai said that he had realized from a fierce battle last night, and he needed to consolidate his cultivation.

For a time, only Fang Ran and Ying Ruyan remained in the big tent.

"You...... You can't be planning to draw your own severance charm, are you?"

Sure enough, it was Fang Qingyu's personal person in the past, but when he saw Fang Ran's pretended unfathomable smile, he guessed Fang Ran's plan.

Ying Ruoyan frowned and said, "Fang Ran, you may not know that the reason why the formation masters have carved a separate branch from among the cultivators is because the way they use spiritual power is completely different from ordinary cultivators. The formation master uses the talisman array to communicate the heaven and the earth, and the cultivator uses his own meridians to perceive, which is very different. Although the runes of the severance charm are engraved on the white chalcedony, anyone can copy them onto paper. White chalcedony is precious, but it is not so valuable that it is not in the market. But have you ever wondered why no one has been able to imitate such a simple and straightforward thing for so many years?"

Ying Ruoyan said such a long paragraph in a row, half eager and half concerned.

Fang Ran saw that Ying Ruoyan was so serious, so he followed her words extremely cooperatively and asked, "Why?"

Ying Ruoyan sighed and said, "When the runes are drawn, they have to attract spiritual power, and this matter is like a fool's dream in the field of abyssal silence. And once the rune drawing is wrong, the rune array collapses, and the spiritual power collapses, in this environment, I am afraid that it will cause a spiritual storm...... It's admirable that you want to try, but it's not something you can do with determination. ”

"Mountain Man...... You have a solution. Fang Ran smiled sullenly at Ying Ruoyan, his eyes wandering over the hanging map for a while, and finally stopped at a certain mark.

It was the mark of a mine, rich in spirit stones, and it also brought jade of good quality.
