"Of course, to go to places where it is possible to generate precious ores, do you know how these ores are generated?"

Shen Hong didn't seem to have the intention of asking Yun Shan's secret, and continued Yun Shan's topic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"According to the classics, these rare ores are all bred from the essence of heaven and earth. It is produced by some ordinary ores in places where the essence is abundant, absorbing and warming and nurting, and it takes hundreds of thousands of years or even more to be generated. Yun Shan thought for a moment.

"Yes, then do you know where our Qingwu Prefecture has the most energy?" Shen Hong nodded, and then asked.

"Of course it's in the sea of fog of the Sea of Fog faction, are we going there to look for ore?" Yun Shan's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief.

"Smack..."

Shen Hong suddenly slapped Yun Shan's head.

It seemed to be to take revenge on Yun Shan's punch when he was fighting, this time it was fast and accurate, and when he heard the sound, he knew that the weight was not light, Yun Shan was caught off guard and almost fell from the air.

With a palm, Shen Hong was overjoyed in his heart, but said with a serious face: "Of course not!" Not to mention whether there is any ore in it, even if there is, it is impossible for the people of the Fog Sea Sect to let us go in and get it. Moreover, the sea of fog is at an extremely high place, and the cold air of 10,000 years is even more cold and biting, and without the assistance of the fog sea sect, it is impossible to enter for too long.

Our destination this time is Taiqi Mountain, which is the only place in Qingwu Prefecture where fine stone is produced, and there are often precious ores that accompany the production of fine stone. But we can't get into the mine that's being mined, and you'll know when we get there. ”

Yun Shan was taken in vain, looking at Shen Hong's serious appearance, there was nothing he could do about him.

。。。。。。

The mountains are undulating and endless, and a piece of luminous green comes into view. If you look closely, the grass and trees on each mountain are very scarce, and those glows are the crystal jade that is exposed on the mountain.

"Hey! Stop it! ”

As soon as Shen Hong flew to the edge of Taiqi Mountain with Yunshan, he was fenced down by a team of monks.

There are a total of ten monks in this team, and the five on the left are dressed in white and riding a two-headed monster wolf. The five people on the right are inferior, only wearing a simple green robe, but their expressions are calm and their breath is restrained.

After Yunshan and Shen Hong were about to be surrounded in the middle, a white-clothed monk looked at the two of them, looked at Shen Hong and asked, "Who are you and what are you here for?" ”

As the young man asked, the rest of the people were on guard. Looking at the posture, it seems that as long as Shen Hong's answer is wrong, he will take down the two of them.

"We are disciples of Zixiao Pavilion and the Golden Sword Sect. This time, I am planning to enter the abandoned mining area, and this is the Fu letter of the family teacher Qinglian Fairy. Shen Hong took out a purple jade slip and handed it to the white-clothed monk.

After the white-clothed monk inspected the jade slip, he handed the jade slip to a green-clothed monk beside him, and then lowered his head and flicked his sleeve, as if there was a layer of dust on it, and said lightly:

"Well, it is indeed the letter of Zixiao Pavilion. Since they are both disciples of the four sects, presumably Daoist friends also know the rules of this place, so don't make it difficult for us. ”

Shen Hong seemed to know this place very well, and he had long been accustomed to the lukewarm attitude of these people, so he immediately handed over twenty essence stones and said:

"Naturally, there are twenty fine stones here, and we will only search for a month before leaving."

"Well, in a month's time, the number of fine stones is just right. The two of you take these two jade slips, fly three thousand miles north along the edge, and go around to the abandoned mining area at the northern foot to search for them. However, remember not to go deep into the mountains on the way to fly, if the ban around the mining area is triggered, it will be regarded as an attempt to steal the stone, and all the patrol teams will join forces to kill you, understand? ”

The man in white put away the fine stone, handed Shen Hong two jade slips, and said solemnly.

。。。。。。

After the group of monks left, Yun Shan looked at the jade slip in his hand and asked:

"Brother Shen, isn't this fine stone mine shared by the four factions, why should we go to the abandoned mining area to search and pay the fine stone?"

"Hey。。。。。。 It's a long story at this point. When Shen Hong heard this, he sighed and said:

"The four factions shared that it was nearly a thousand years ago.

At that time, your Golden Sword Sect was still at its peak, and there were hundreds of disciples under your disciples, and more than 100 disciples above the foundation building period, and all of them had refined the Golden Sword. In terms of strength, even the current Beast Control Sect is far from being able to compete.

At that time, although our Zixiao Pavilion was the weakest, many female disciples in the sect formed Taoist couples with the monks of the other three sects, or some powerful loose cultivators, which made the sect quite prestigious, and no one among the monks was willing to be enemies of our sect. Coupled with the Zixiao Mountain Protection Array handed down by my sect's ancestors, the status of my Zixiao Pavilion has surpassed the other two factions, and it is only second to your Golden Sword Sect.

However, it didn't take long for this balance to be upset. With the depletion of the Shiyushan Mine of your Golden Sword Sect, the disciples under your sect were unable to refine the Golden Sword, and their strength was greatly weakened, even our Zixiao Pavilion was inferior.

The Beast Control Sect and the Fog Sea Sect took the opportunity to unite and demanded a change in the distribution of the Essence Mine's output. Originally, the competition between the new disciples of the four factions for a hundred years has also become a competition for the division of the fine stone quota, and the original equal score of two points and five points for each faction has also become a four-three-two-one distribution method, among which the Beast Control Sect has obtained the most, the Fog Sea Sect has the second, and your Golden Sword Sect has the least.

But about a hundred years ago, the situation changed again, for some reason, the head of my sect suddenly announced that his disciples would no longer be allowed to marry Taoist couples, and those who had been Taoist couples before would also be cut off, and those who refused to accept them would be expelled from Zixiao Pavilion. At that time, many outstanding disciples had no choice but to leave the sect out of helplessness, and the strength of our sect has plummeted since then.

Since then, that is, at the time of the last big competition, the Beast Control Sect and the Fog Sea Sect have changed the distribution method again. Not only will the top two of the 100-year competition account for 80% of the 10% of the fine stone produced in the mine, but the last two will not be able to get the right to supervise the operation, and at the same time, many of these fees and regulations for you and me and the loose cultivation have been increased. The rare metal crystals that accompany the production of fine stone in the mine, as well as the income from the fees, are also divided among them.

I haven't seen it for long, and even the 10% share of each faction won't be distributed to us. ”

Yun Shan listened to Shen Hong's introduction, and sighed in his heart that the rise and fall were so rapid and the world was changing impermanently.

According to the current disparity in the strength of the various factions, I am afraid that this hundred-year competition has become a joke, even if one of the Golden Sword Sect or Zixiao Pavilion enters the top two, it is impossible for the people of the Beast Control Sect and the Fog Sea Sect to easily give up the share of the essence stone.

。。。。。。

Half an hour later, the two flew to the sky above the northern foot of Taiqi Mountain.

Shen Hong pointed to the mountains that were full of holes and stretched for thousands of miles, and said: "From here to the north are all abandoned mining areas, you and I are separated, searching day and night, although it is hard, but it is no problem to find a dozen fine stones in a month, although there is a gap in the cost of the twenty fine stones, but if you are lucky enough to find one or two rare metal crystals, you can count it as earning, okay, let's start looking." With that, Shen Hong took Yunshan and landed slowly.

Shen Hong asked the Qinglian Fairy for a letter this time, and brought Yunshan here with Yukong Wanli, all to help Yunshan find rare metal ore crystals to use to refine the golden sword. And a month of non-stop search for divine thoughts, even if he has the cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building, it will be very hard.

"Brother Shen, thank you." What Shen Hong did for him, Yun Shan naturally understood, and after landing, he hesitated slightly, pulled Shen Hong's pink sleeve robe, stuffed a bottle of pill to Shen Hong, and thanked him.

"Don't be so polite, if you want to thank you, I should thank you. Not to mention that you saved my life, if you hadn't given me that bag of Chaos Essence Stones in the first place, how could I have cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building so quickly? Hey... Now that you have set foot in cultivation, you should know the value of that bag of Chaos Essence Stones, compared to the storage bag and those few demon pills you chose, I don't know how many times bigger, you won't regret it now, right?

What's in this bottle? Hey? It's not ... So much! Where did it come from? ”

Shen Hong was joking with a big grin at first, and when he saw the dozens of pills in the bottle, he suddenly covered the jade bottle in his sleeve as if he had been a thief, looked left and right, and asked nervously in a low voice.

Yun Shan looked at Shen Hong's nervous appearance, feeling a little funny at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But his face was full of care, and he said, "These are what I refined." Brother Shen doesn't have to care too much. ”

Shen Hong's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Yun Shan in disbelief, his lips slightly opened as if he wanted to say something, but he never said it. After a long time, he patted Yun Shan's shoulder, nodded firmly, and then turned around and walked quickly into a mine.

After Shen Hong left, Yun Shan stretched his arms and waist comfortably, and then also went in the other direction, finding a mine cave and entering it.

Yun Shan stretched out his right hand, and then a faint blue light flashed out from the palm of his hand, not very bright, but with the glow, he could barely see the surrounding places clearly.

The surrounding walls are mostly made of jasper, ranging from large pieces to cracked patches, with occasional white unidentified stones interspersed with jade.

As Yun Shan walked, he infiltrated his divine thoughts into these jade stones, but he could only penetrate below the wall. Deeper into the place, I couldn't feel anything, and I walked for miles without finding anything.

This state of always maintaining a state of probing with divine thoughts is very draining, just when Yun Shan is about to stop and rest.

The mouse in his arms suddenly burst out, first climbed onto Yunshan's shoulder, and then jumped up again, climbing a stone wall beside him. Then he scratched at the wall with a small pink claw, and the hard jade on the wall immediately turned into fine powders and fell, and after a while, a shallow hole the size of a mouse's head appeared.

Seeing the hole appearing, the mouse turned around and screamed excitedly at Yunshan twice, and then plunged into the hole, gnawing with his teeth and digging up with his limbs.

As the stone chips continued to flow out of the holes, the body of the mouse gradually burrowed into the wall, and after a while, it disappeared.
