Chapter Seventy-Nine: Digging in the Hole
The days passed in a flash, and it was another spring in the blink of an eye, and Tong Xiaoye had worked in the Divine Hammer Hall for nearly a year, which had already exceeded the half-year period that was originally promised.
There were enough spirit stones, so the brother and sister buried themselves in penance to improve their strength, and no one rushed into the mine.
But they're going to leave eventually.
Tong Xiaoye's fire refining technique reached a bottleneck, every inch of skin on his body was glittering by the earth fire, and after all the refining was completed, his body suddenly lost all its luster, showing a state of returning to the basics.
So she was like an ordinary little girl, she didn't have to paint her face every day to dare to go out.
It's just that the earth fire also has a level, and now the earth fire collected by the Divine Hammer Hall with a magic weapon can no longer meet her needs, that is, the whole person jumps into the earth fire furnace without any damage, and if she wants to continue cultivating, she must find a higher level of earth fire.
"Ono, let's go to this Huoming Mountain, I heard that there are monks above the contemplation stage recruited there, and we can go there to mine." Ning Yuan took a map and studied it carefully, Tong Xiaoye poked his head to take a look, and said, "I think Shuixiu Mountain is better, the scenery is beautiful, and you can go to take a bath in the shade when you are free." ”
Ning Yuan is a mutated ice spirit root, which is the result of the mutation of the water spirit root, there are not only spirit stone mines in Shuixiu Mountain, but also other water attribute resources, which is very suitable for the cultivation of water spirit roots.
Ning Yuan knew what the little girl was thinking as soon as she heard it, rubbed her head and said with a smile: "I once entered the Jindan stage, and now the difference is not the realm but the spiritual power, as long as the spirit stone is sufficient, it is the same wherever you cultivate." ”
Tong Xiaoye scratched her hair, she didn't want to delay her brother's cultivation. I was reluctant to part with my brother, and seeing that he really didn't seem to care, I made a decision: "Then let's go to Huoming Mountain first, and when I become a third-order martial artist, we will separate and look for opportunities!" ”
When the fire refining technique broke through the first layer, Tong Xiaoye naturally became a second-order martial artist, and with the supply of the little mushroom's aura, Ning Yuan had already rebuilt his foundation, and his strength surpassed that of the old man Hu Bugui, and he also belonged to the upper level in Cangling City.
It's just that Tong Xiaoye's speed of cultivation is really not flattering. Such good conditions. She had been wandering around the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and she couldn't even break through to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Period.
You must know that the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period is a threshold for cultivation, and only by breaking through the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period can the monk have enough spiritual power to cast spells and control the magic weapon. Otherwise, it's just barely usable.
For example, Tong Xiaoye now. At most, the Qin Mu hairpin was urged twice to exhaust his spiritual power. There is no spiritual power to support the magic weapon to fight with people.
Huoming Mountain is a very famous fire-based spiritual mountain in the Cangling Mountains, not only has abundant spirit stones, but also has a lot of fire-based refining materials in the spirit stone mine. Among them, there are fire rock crystals, fire and sand and the like of the strange treasures of the cultivation realm, which are all very rare treasures.
But it's also hard to get into Huoming Mountain.
The first level is the heat resistance test.
No matter what kind of cultivation or strength, the monk must first stay in the room where the earth fire is introduced, and the monk who survives it will have the qualification to enter Huoming Mountain.
And after entering, it is not so easy to do what kind of work you want to do.
Some places that produce treasures do not allow outside masters to enter, they are all sent by the sect to send disciples to mine, and the requirements for accepting outsiders are also extremely strict.
This is all to prevent other forces from spying on intelligence, there are not many masters in the Land of Spirits, and no master is willing to waste three years in the deep mines, so this threshold can stop many people with ulterior motives.
Huomingshan was divided by large and small forces, and the prices offered by many small forces were very attractive, Tong Xiaoye and Ning Yuan weighed for a long time, and still chose the mines under Chengtianzong.
Chengtian Sect is one of the seven major cultivation sects in the Qianlong Continent, with strong strength, with two-thirds of the Huoming Mountain, and the masters of the outside world are also more humane, and some outstanding coolies also have the opportunity to enter the sect as outer disciples and obtain the basic exercises of the sect.
But there must be advantages and disadvantages, the salary of Chengtian Sect is the lowest, and the master of the foundation building period only has one medium-grade spirit stone a day, compared to some small forces that have opened three medium-grade spirit stones, this price is really not very attractive.
"Ono, if you want to go further, only the Chengtian Sect will have the opportunity to come into contact with the Seven Absolute Flames of the highest level in the cultivation realm, if you go to other places, the best fire is only the Five Separation Fire, which is not much more powerful than the Three Profound Flames you came into contact with in the Divine Hammer Hall, it doesn't make much sense."
Ning Yuan explained to her the level of flames, it turned out that the flames of the cultivation realm were divided into seven levels, and the hottest flame she came into contact with in the Divine Hammer Hall was only the low-grade three Xuanhuo, and the effect was equivalent to the Samadhi True Fire that the cultivator had after attaining the Dan, if she wanted to cultivate the fire refining technique to the seventh level, she had to use the Seven Absolute Flames to cultivate.
However, the Immortal Monarch said that there are twelve realms in the fire refining technique.
Tong Xiaoye is terrifying to think about.
Hu Bugui was very sorry for her departure, took her hand and said: "You little girl who can't be raised, how good our Divine Hammer Hall is, there is nothing in the spirit stone magic weapon, I want to learn what kind of mine to go to, what kind of good place is there, how many people go in and never come back!" ”
"Then if I can't come back, master, remember to burn me more spirit stones!" Tong Xiaoye pulled the old man's beard with a hippie smile, looking greedy for money.
"You girl, you think about the spirit stone all day long, and you forgot about the master after a few days of leaving, right?" The old man touched his newly grown beard lovingly, and his voice was a little sad.
"How come, I still have to earn a lot of spirit stones, and strive to enter the Chengtian Sect, when the time comes, I have to invite the master to Ningxiang Zhai to have a good meal!" Tong Xiaoye pretended to be a heroic joke, but the old man still looked gloomy.
He had wanted to ask the elders of the sect to agree to take Tong Xiaoye into his sect and teach her Wanqing Valley's cultivation techniques, at least to give the little apprentice a chance to cultivate, but as soon as Elder Han heard that it was a waste material of the Four Spirit Roots, he refused without thinking about it.
It's not that the sect doesn't accept people, and there are also high-level people who fancy a certain mortal boy who is included in the door, but the apprentices accepted in the soulless land are at least double spirit roots, and Wanqinggu has always been known for being cold, and the acceptance of apprentices is even stricter, and the garbage qualifications like Tong Xiaoye are not worth cultivating at all, and they have to take the risk of spreading the sect's exercises.
Therefore, although Hu Bugui carefully prepared a treasure weapon and took Tong Xiaoye to meet Han Fei, the elder of the Jindan period in the sect, and said that Tong Xiaoye had informed the sect of the conspiracy of the old monster Aoki, he got Elder Han to sneer instead: "Senior nephew Hu, your cultivation is not good, and the eyes of the apprentices are not very good?" There are all waste materials under the door, and I haven't played with some garbage yet, which is really embarrassing for our Wanqinggu! ”
Not only did he despise Tong Xiaoye, but he also despised Hu Bugui together.
This Han Fei used to be Hu Bugui's junior brother, Hu Bugui used to take a lot of care of Han Fei, and later Han Fei became the Jindan period, Hu Bugui is still in the foundation building period, from a senior brother to a nephew, and he has to talk with a smiling face.
The cheap master treated himself sincerely, but he was humiliated like this, Tong Xiaoye immediately secretly decided that in the future, he must abolish this Han Fei cultivation, and then throw it into the black coal kiln to mine to death!
But Hu Bugui was still unwilling: "The old man Du of Chengtian Sect is not bad, you do a good job, even if the master shows this old face in the future, he will get you to the outer gate of Chengtian Sect!" ”
Tong Xiaoye's heart warmed, and he took the old man's hand and said: "Master, you have to be good, don't care about those bullshit tasks of the sect, if it's not enough, go to Wanbao Pavilion to buy it, anyway, we don't miss the spirit stone!" ”
After being here for a long time, she knew that Hu Bugui was not as easy as it seemed in Wanqing Valley, Wanqing Valley had a lot of spirit stone mines in the Cangling Mountains, and the mining tools were sometimes insufficient, and the most basic knives and shovels were made by the senior brothers and sisters in the past, but now the tasks above are getting tighter and tighter, and they refuse to buy the magic weapons of Wanbao Pavilion with a good face, and sometimes even the master has to make the lowest level magic weapons himself.
Although the status of the refiner is respected, there are many Jindan stage masters in the Cangling Mountain Range, and the strength of the cultivation realm is respected, and sometimes it is not so easy to mix.
"Silly girl!" Hu Bugui smiled, knocked her head, and said, "Go and say goodbye to your senior brother and sister!" ”
Tong Xiaoye gave a salute and said goodbye to Zhou Qing and Li Shaofei, but he never saw his senior sister Wang Shanmiao.
Since she was taken care of by her senior brothers, and she was favored by her master, she was often taken by her master to the lowest level of refining weapons, and even participated in the gathering of the seniors in Cangling City, Wang Shanmiao didn't talk to her much.
And in the past six months, Wang Shanmiao has changed a lot, there are fewer and fewer refining tools, he likes to buy beautiful clothes, he likes to paint his face snow-white, and he is more and more similar to the female cultivators in Cangling City who are getting older, and he will no longer be the refreshing woman that Tong Xiaoye first saw.
I don't know if it's because Luye once threatened her to double cultivate with Li Shaofei, which gave her a sense of crisis, or because she was favored.
Tong Xiaoye was naturally not interested in looking at her cold face, and left the Divine Hammer Hall directly.
Chengtian Sect's sphere of influence is very large, and most of the mountains stretching in Huoming Mountain are under the jurisdiction of Chengtian Sect, with Ning Yuan's strength, he could have gone to earn more spirit stones, but he insisted on accompanying his sister, so he hid his Dao cultivation, turned into an ordinary second-order martial artist, and went to Shabai Peak, where only physical cultivation was collected, with Tong Xiaoye.
Shabai Peak is full of gray-white sand and gravel, when the wind rises, the dust is flying, the eyes of the people who blow can't be opened, the mine can't stay at all during the day, if you want to take a bath, you have to walk close to the mountain road of a hundred miles, there is no way to come here, a group of coolies have sad faces all day long, and they don't even see a smile.
And the days in the mine cave are even more miserable, there is a ground fire under the entire mountain range of Huoming Mountain, and the fire in Shabai Peak is still small, but it is also several levels hotter than the refining room of the Divine Hammer Hall, and the martial artists below the second order can't survive it at all.
Ning Yuan had already heard about the situation here, prepared a large amount of water and food in the storage bag, and put on armor with Ono respectively, Rao was like this, when he entered the cave, he was still shocked by the heat.
And several strong men around them couldn't hold on, and fainted directly to the ground. (To be continued......)
