Xishan Road is one of the eighteen provinces of the Martial Kingdom, when the Martial Kingdom was first established, only seven roads were set up, but later the territory continued to expand, and the administrative areas divided were more, and now there are eighteen provinces.

Among the eighteen realms of the Martial Kingdom, the Heavenly Saint Sect controls five realms, among which the Zhili Dao is completely controlled and cannot be touched by others, the most special, all the territories of the Zhili Dao are also the territory of the Heavenly Saint Sect.

In addition, the Danyang Sect also controls the territory of the three Dao Sects, with a large number of vassals under its command, and the rest of the Dao Sect is controlled by various powerful sects, and the second-class townships are controlled by those small forces.

Xishan Dao is the most remote Dao controlled by the Heavenly Saint Sect, and it is still moving in Qiyun Mountain, bordering Xiang Guo, Qiyun Mountain has become the Dao governance place of Xishan Dao, and the rest of the forces are not worth mentioning, because this area is all the places where the surrendered forces of Qingshan County were placed in the past, and three hundred years have passed, and no forces have risen.

At this time, in a barren mountain on the West Mountain Road, several monks were climbing over the mountains, they were not simply climbing the mountain, but walking for a while, taking out a hoe, digging some stones, dirt and other things.

"Whew, it's finally at the top"

After a long time, several people were climbing to the top of the mountain, and several young disciples were sitting on the rocks, breathing heavily, looking extremely tired.

"It's a shame, it's still an immortal cultivator, this little journey is tired like this"

"Master, you are a master of Daogang, but I am only the third layer of condensation, and I have been sleeping with you these days, and my bones are about to fall apart."

"You kid is still tired, aren't you, the task of the sect is so difficult to grab now, if I hadn't taken you out, would you think the merit points would be so easy to take?

The Daogang monk had a blank face, and said sternly, and several disciples immediately laughed and brought tea and water, and they didn't dare to be tired anymore, and served the master comfortably.

"Master, did you say that there will be minerals on this West Mountain Road, we have been looking for half a month, and there are no clues at all."

"Yes, in the area of our Wu country, there are only sixteen minerals found so far, which is completely unreasonable, I firmly believe that there will be minerals in this West Mountain Road."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, Master and I have studied the inheritance of the earth master over the years, and I have a good level, I found that..."

The master talked eloquently again, talking about the inheritance of this earth master, this person's name is Li Jiusi, and he is the first monk of the Heavenly Saint Sect to respond to Lin Xiao to study the inheritance of the earth master.

Li Jiusi's earth master inheritance is already good, there is a fourth-order level, but there is a lack of practice, this time the adjustment of the treatment of the level of the sect Daogang monk has made the life of a poor disciple like Li Jiusi even more difficult, so Lin smiled and ordered, and Li Jiusi set off with his disciple.

In the past few years, they have traveled to most of the territory of the Martial Kingdom, and Li Jiusi has discovered a number of minerals, but he did not report them to the sect, because those minerals are not controlled by the Heavenly Saint Sect, even if they are reported, the sect and him will not get any benefits, so he will not report it.

This time he came to Xishan Dao because the Heavenly Saint Sect was able to completely control it here, so he came here and wanted to get some results here.

A few apprentices watched the master talk a lot, and they also showed a look of listening carefully, but in fact, their thoughts had already flown out of the sky, because they were tired of listening to these theories.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to tell you, you know a fart"

Li Jiusi also knew the thoughts of his apprentices, and after talking for a while, he didn't say it if he felt bored, because the Earth Master was a very unpopular profession in the Heavenly Saint Sect, and if it weren't for Lin Xiao's constant support, no one would really learn this.

Now the disciples of the younger generation of the sect are all yearning for the profession of Dan Fu Array, especially the alchemist, which is the dream profession of countless disciples, think about that Li Muxue, Bai Xipity, Yu Tianxiang is an alchemist, not only has a high cultivation, but also has the richest net worth, and is a well-known rich man in the sect, I don't know how many people regard them as role models.

However, Li Jiusi has always scoffed at the dreams of these disciples, if the alchemist is so studious, there will not be so few high-level alchemists in the sect, just the investment in this alchemy, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, thinking that he Li Jiusi was also ambitious to become a high-level alchemist, but after studying for a few years, in addition to making him in debt, he did not even refine the first-order pill, so he died.

"You guys go camp, we'll stay here at night, I think there's definitely hope for this mountain"

"Yes, Master"

Several disciples replied that they would not believe such words, because they had heard them hundreds of times.

Li Jiusi ignored those apprentices, but took out the excavated stones and studied them one by one, analyzing their composition, and seeing if there were some mineral characteristics.

The disciples quickly set up tents in the leeward area, took out food to heat, respectfully invited Li Jiusi to eat, and after eating, they went to meditate and practice in the tent.

Li Jiusi, on the other hand, walked out of the tent, holding a compass in his hand, and kept walking along the ridge, constantly stirring on the compass.

"The moon is sinking in the west, climbing the mountain and looking at the moon, good feng shui, the vegetation in this area is so lush, the leylines must be good, well, make a mark first, and then dig tomorrow"

"The pattern of the rabbit looking at the moon, the mysterious qi is pressing, this is the sign of the spiritual vein, strange, but I didn't feel the existence of the spiritual vein during the day, according to the book, it should be an invisible spiritual vein, hidden in the depths of the ground, if you give me three years, you can pull the spiritual vein out, but I don't know what grade this spiritual vein is, if it is a first-order spiritual vein, it will be a loss"

"The rocks here are dark brown, this should be..."

Li Jiusi was not dragged down by his apprentices, and walked all over a dozen mountains within dozens of miles in one night, checked the small flags on the mountains, marked them, and prepared to look for them again tomorrow.

He came to the peaks in this area to look for ore veins is really not messy, but after deep research, the mountain terrain here, he has studied many times on the map before, this kind of terrain, there should be some ore veins.

Early the next morning, after several apprentices woke up, Li Jiusi took them to the place where the small flag was planted, and dug it with one word.

Several apprentices have long been accustomed to it, and they have taken out tools such as shovels and excavated around the small flag, several of them are immortal cultivators, and the shovels in their hands are also at the level of first-order magic weapons, it is still very easy to dig a pit, and in less than half a day, a large pit with a diameter of two meters and a depth of dozens of meters appeared.

"Master, come and see, it's silting"

Continuing to dig down, soon a disciple shouted, and Li Jiusi jumped directly into the pit.

"Yes, it is desilting, and the condition is very good"

Li Jiusi picked up a ball of soil, smelled it, and there was a hint of joy on his face, this dredging is a material for refining, especially suitable for refining city bricks, used to build a city, when Gongming City was expanded, it was not found that this dredging was needed, and it cost 600,000 Xuanjing.

And now Li Jiusi has found that there is dredging here, and in the future, Gongming City will be expanded or the rest of the places will be expanded, and there will be no need to purchase it, and he can excavate it himself, presumably the general affairs hall will also give a lot of merits.

"Master, what now?"

"Go up, fill in the soil, and then, as I told you before, dig holes in a radius of one, five, and ten kilometers to see how much there is in this desilted soil."

"Ah, how long will that take?"

"One point for one person, whoever finishes it first, I will reward a green jade pill"

"I'll go, I'll go right away"

"Senior brother, I'm bothering you here, I'm leaving"

Li Jiusi said a word, and several apprentices immediately ran away, all of them were a group of disciples from a poor family, and the reward for a green jade pill was already very thick.

Li Jiusi shook his head, and cast a spell to fill in the excavated soil, the sect doesn't need this silt now, and it is estimated that he will not send someone to dig it immediately, so he only needs to measure the range reserves.

The apprentices were busy, and Li Jiusi was not idle, and immediately went to the next mountain, ready to dig a pit for inspection, but before he could plant the flag, Li Jiusi actually saw a beast that was about to advance into a cave.

"Strange, although the strength of this Xishan Road is not strong, but there are a lot of mortals, just now the tanuki is about to become a demon, is there no one to clean it up, or is it a fish that slipped through the net?"

Li Jiusi had some doubts in his heart, and with interest, he immediately followed, and after entering the cave, he saw the bones of many beasts, and those bones were basically about to become the existence of first-order demon beasts.

"There is wind, underground waterways, well, and a faint Xuanqi, no wonder"

Li Jiusi stretched out his hand, felt the wind blowing from the narrow cave, and faintly heard the sound of flowing water, and concluded that there was an underground river here, and it was estimated that there were still spiritual veins, which could also explain why there were so many beasts that were about to advance here.

Li Jiusi took out the flying sword, and began to widen the cave cleanly, and after advancing dozens of meters, a wide karst cave appeared, and then a black shadow attacked him.

"Idiot"

It was the tanuki who attacked him just now, but it was a pity that as a Daogang monk, for this kind of beast that was not even a first-order demon beast, he just lightly emitted a sword qi, and the tanuki was in a different place.

"Yes, according to this concentration of Xuan Qi, it should be a second-order spiritual vein, hey, there are a lot of elixirs, a windfall"

Li Jiusi swept to the cave and saw a lot of growing elixirs, and was immediately overjoyed, this kind of wild elixir is a free Xuanjing, Li Jiusi naturally will not dislike its grade, and soon swept away the elixir he saw, and he estimated that he could sell it for a few thousand Xuanjing.

After receiving the elixir, Li Jiusi jumped into the underground river and groped in the river, and soon, Li Jiusi's face changed, and he quickly got up, took out a fluorescent stone, illuminated the surroundings, and observed the things in his hand, what he was holding in his hand was a handful of mud and sand, Li Jiusi carefully picked up the mud and sand, and immediately gasped.

"It's tide gold, the grade is as high as the fifth order of tide gold, it's amazing, this time my old Li has made a fortune"

After confirming the two golden grits in the sand, Li Jiusi suddenly burst into joy, there was actually a fifth-order tide gold here, and it was difficult to make a fortune this time.
