CHAPTER XLVII

Seeing that Jingli was not hit, Tianyi was already a little impatient, but his own self-control ability made him not show it. He looked at Jingli with very strange eyes for a long time before he said: "In this case, Daoist friends might as well dig fire crystal, the purchase price of fire crystal is high, and it mainly depends on luck, you can dig it by buying a shovel during the qi training period." ”

"Thank you Tianyiyou, I'm really sorry for delaying the time of Daoyou." Jingli didn't mind the disdain in his tone.

Digging for fire crystal, she had indeed heard of this. Digging fire spar is not a bounty work, but a feature of the Fire Sui Valley, which is done all year round, because it grows under the black stone formed by thick magma, there is no suitable means of detection and excavation, and the price itself is high for monks with low cultivation, so digging fire spar is also called treasure digging.

After sending Tianyi away, Jingli directly found a room in the inn and stayed. This Huosui Valley is not the Tianhai Spirit Realm, there are few people, you can just draw a defensive array to live, Huosui Valley is full of people, and it is very inconvenient to live outside.

After thinking about it for a while, she felt that digging fire spar was really good, and after inquiring with Xiao Er at the inn, she decided to go to see the so-called "shovel" tomorrow.

Fire crystal is a kind of stone that can store fire attributes, unlike the precious treasure of fire crystal, fire crystal is just a stone containing fire spiritual power, buried under the magma layer gushing out of volcanic eruptions, absorbing the heat of magma naturally formed and with fire attributes, is a material for refining.

However, there is no more obvious law for the birth of fire crystal, except for knowing that it is accompanied by the black stone of the magma layer, so it takes luck to find the fire crystal, so there are many treasure diggers. Because magma blackstone is thick and hard, some people specially refined a hard shovel for digging blackstone for these lucky people to dig hedrons.

She decided to dig this thing because as long as it was a place that had not been excavated, she could usually dig one or two, which was considered a stable income, and it was a comfortable job that did not require fighting with others.

The last thing she was afraid of when she was in the prefecture-level realm was to do it with people. Here, what she is most afraid of is to do it, because she has no confidence. Therefore, this time, she also subconsciously wanted to avoid conflicts with people or spirit beasts.

Judging by its appearance, it's just an ordinary shovel. Jingli tilted his head and looked at the shovel in the store, how to look at it is exactly the same as the tools used to dig the ground in Xinlong Town, that is, it looks a little brighter, and each one needs two spirit stones.

Or, forget it? Or don't earn spirit stones, go to comprehend and cultivate? What if I didn't find the last spar of the shovel after buying it, wouldn't it be a loss? Jingli struggled.

"This senior, do you want to buy it?" A monk who had been lining up behind Jingli in the early stage of Qi cultivation couldn't help it, and took the risk to step forward and ask.

The shovels were dusty and placed in a corner of the store, blocking the view of everyone behind them when she stood alone.

"Oh, come on." Jingli realized that she was blocking others and walked away embarrassedly.

Or, practice for a month and a half, and dig for a month and a half? Cultivate first or dig treasure first?

Suddenly, Jingli thought of a good idea.

I went around the valley and found a tree that looked suitable and cut it down. Carrying the tree she had just chopped down and finding a secluded place, she took the machete and began to tidy it up.

Although there are several small sects around the Fire Sui Valley, because of the relatively large flow of people here, they often come and go in and out of some people that the small sects can't afford to provoke, so they don't dare to speak at will, and the Fire Sui Valley has actually become an unmanaged area, basically relying on the basic rules of affairs among the monks. Therefore, no one interferes with the behavior of Jingli. Anyway, these trees are not elixir spirit grasses, they are not valuable, and they are of no other use except to look at them.

"Huh......" Jingli looked at her results with satisfaction, and one tree successfully made ten wooden shovels, which she made in the shape of the shovels in the store. Not because she was reluctant to give the spirit stone, but because she had some other ideas and wanted to give it a try.

Early the next morning, carrying a shovel, I entered the valley.

The Valley of Fire, centered on a large active volcano, has been surrounded by a gentle slope of black rocks and ash formed by a thick layer of magma due to the recent eruption.

Because the magma black stone layer is still emitting heat, there is no grass at all. Next to the magma layer, next to the barren grass, is a densely wooded forest, one withered, one prosperous, one life and one death, the boundary is very clear, and the monk passes through this dividing line to enter the valley.

Although the strong visual impact of the black peaks and white snow that could be seen just after passing through the teleportation array was very shocking, after actually approaching, you could feel the breath of decay and death, which was the traces left by the power of nature after it swept away life.

On the gentle slope leading to the top of the mountain, there are charred black trees everywhere, the sinuous branches and thick trunks are still the same as before, the only difference is that they have lost their vitality.

I heard that there were also animal bones scattered everywhere in the past, but the bones that could withstand the volcanic fire were all excellent refining materials, and they had been looted early on, and now only the remains of these carbonized trees remain.

Because there are people gathering around the Xueshui River to practice all year round, the fire crystal has long been dug up, and the places where the fire crystal can still be found are all desolate places that were inaccessible in the past, that is, the place where the remains of these trees are the most. As a result, Jingli had to give up the opportunity to approach the Xueshui River.

The black branches have lost their former toughness, and if they are accidentally bumped into, they will turn into black toner and fly in the air. Moreover, the feeling of toner flying into her nose was quite painful, so she tried to avoid the branches as carefully as possible.

There is no specific skill in digging fire crystal, and there are more elements of luck, but the higher the cultivation, the faster you dig, the larger the area you dig, and the greater the probability of digging. There are also places where there are already traces of excavation, that is, places that have been found by predecessors, and you can just avoid them.

It has been a hundred years since the volcanic eruption in the Valley of Fire Flames, but for a hundred years, because of the continuous heat emitted, ordinary low-level monks could not approach it at all, so it was only a matter of nearly twenty years that people really began to dig up fire crystals. As Jingli walked further and further up the mountain, there were fewer and fewer traces of digging fire crystals, until she came to a place where there were no traces of excavation at all, and the heat under her feet had already made her forehead sweat, and a little higher, I am afraid it was not something she could bear. Fortunately, the value of the fire crystal is not high enough for the monks of the foundation building period to waste time digging for treasures, otherwise, I am afraid that this place would have been hollowed out long ago.

The magma layer of black stone looks black and soft, and you will only find that it is actually very hard when you walk up. The igneous crystals are hidden under these hard black stones, absorbing the heat of magma all year round, and eventually forming brilliant crystals.

Jingli tested the hardness of the black stone with his hands, took out a wooden shovel, shoveled it down, and the shovel ...... It's rotten.

I looked helplessly at the shovel that had rotted into several pieces of broken wood, alas, fortunately I made a few more.

Wrapped the wooden shovel with spiritual power, tentatively shoveled down, and it rotted again.

Again.
