They dug a ditch and with great effort, they finally drained all the water from the lake, revealing the silt at the bottom.

Then, they began to dig down, but after digging for a long time, they still found nothing.

Ling Yue'er's patience was exhausted again, and she pulled Ling Yu's sleeve, "Brother Ling Yu, it's so boring here, let's go shopping elsewhere." ”

"Go on your own. Ling Yu's eyes were fixed on the bottom of the lake, although he didn't know about malachite, he still knew about weapon refining, "I'm going to watch here." ”

"Hmph," Yue'er pursed her mouth, "I wouldn't have told you anything about malachite if I had known." ”

At this time, a disciple jumped up from the bottom of the lake, wiped his forehead, and said, "Ling Gongzi, I've dug for nearly a hundred meters, and I still haven't seen anything, are you looking for the wrong place?"

For this question, Ling Yu was also a little unsure, and couldn't help touching his ears.

Wu Tong saw that he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege: "How long has it been since I dug it? If it is so easy to dig up, then it is still our turn?"

Since the young owner had spoken, he didn't want to say anything, shrugged his shoulders, and jumped back in a daze, but there were not a few people who thought the same as him, so there were more whispers at the bottom of the lake in addition to the sound of shovels flipping.

What they thought was whispering, in fact, several people on the shore could hear it clearly, but Ling Yu didn't take it to heart, his face was as usual, but Wu Tong glanced at Ling Yu with some apologies, but what she couldn't stand the most was Yue'er, she was already a little unhappy, and at this time, those words that were not conducive to Ling Yu were even more attacking.

But before she could speak, the whispers at the bottom of the lake fell silent, and everyone stared blankly at their shovels, as if flowers had bloomed on them.

Because just now, they all heard a crisp sound of "ding". It was the sound of a shovel touching metal, and they knew very well what it meant.

Immediately afterward, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, not only did they no longer complain, but they dug harder than before, and in just half an hour, they cleared an area several feet square.

Ling Yu and Wu Tong glanced at each other, and they both showed a touch of joy, and then they all looked down in unison, only to see that in the middle of the black silt, there was a piece of cyan, which was the color of malachite.

"Hahaha," Wu Tong came over and patted Ling Yu on the shoulder, "Brother Ling really has a good eye, there is really malachite here!

Ling Yu smiled at him, and immediately the two of them jumped down together.

As soon as he landed, the disciple who questioned Ling Yu greeted him and arched his hand: "There is indeed a malachite here, it can be seen that Ling Gongzi's eyes are like a torch, and the villain is inappropriate to speak, please don't take it to heart." ”

Ling Yu smiled and said, "Everyone is a brother, why be so polite? In that situation just now, even if it were me, I couldn't help but question it." ”

At this time, Yue'er also followed, but her thin eyebrows were still frowning, and she looked unhappy.

"Who made our eldest lady unhappy again?" Although she was lightly angry, in Ling Yu's eyes, she was still very cute, and she couldn't help but quip.

"Who else could there be? Isn't it you!" Yue'er said angrily, "What's so nice about this broken stone?

A disciple said: "Miss Ling, the malachite here is quite pure, it is not comparable to ordinary malachite, and if you refine the weapon, the success rate will definitely be much higher." ”

As a girl, she didn't pay much attention to these things, but she was in a bad mood at this time, even more so, so she glared at the person directly and said, "So what? I'm just not interested!"

"Yue'er, don't be rude!" Ling Yu reprimanded, "You must know that when two people have the same strength, if one weapon has been tempered and the other has not, then there is basically no suspense, if we make good use of it, we can achieve that as soon as possible." ”

Yue'er saw him staring into the distance, his expression was slightly sad, and his dissatisfaction was swept away, staring at him distressedly, and changed the topic: "Okay, Brother Ling Yu, I won't say it." ”

Ling Yu came back to her senses, rubbed her black waterfall-like hair, and said softly, "Anyway, I can't help here, so I'll accompany you to go shopping elsewhere." ”

Yue'er's eyes lit up, and she didn't shirk, and jumped directly onto the shore, followed by Ling Yu.

In just three days, the first batch of malachite was mined, but Wu Changfeng was not in a hurry to sell it, but removed the impurities in it himself, and then gave the weapons of the disciples of Peacock Mountain Villa to be tempered.

Although it was deliberately kept secret, this discovery still failed to hide from other forces, but Peacock Villa had a demon beast in charge, and even the Musun family couldn't get a good deal with it, and the forces in Qingyuan Town naturally didn't dare to act rashly.

But in addition to Qingyuan Town, there is also Liuhe County, which is one of the twenty-eight counties of the Xingjia Empire, and the forces in it are not comparable to those in Qingyuan Town, if they are also greedy for malachite, it is threatening.

"Daddy, why haven't they come back yet?" Wu Tong walked around the courtyard, "It's been almost a day since morning, and it's more than enough to make a trip back and forth to Liuhe County." ”

"Brother Wu, don't be impatient. Ling Yu teased Xiao Qi on the side, "The people brought by the master of the martial arts are all elites, and there will be no problems, it may be because of something that has delayed them." ”

Wu Tong took a deep breath, but he still couldn't calm down, he opened his mouth and was about to say something more, when he suddenly saw dust and smoke outside the mountain gate, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and he suddenly smiled: "It's Daddy, they're back!"

When he arrived outside the village, it was the master of the Wuzhuang who rushed back with a group of disciples.

"Dad, why did you come back?" Wu Tong helped Wu Changfeng off his horse, "I've been worried for a long time." ”

It seems that this trip is going well, Wu Changfeng's eyes narrowed with a smile, "I finally went to Liuhe County, so naturally I want to bring you some gifts back." Therefore, time is lost. ”

Wu Tong's eyes lit up, "What kind of gift?"

As soon as Wu Changfeng stretched out his right hand, a disciple took out three long swords from the carriage and handed them to him.

Ling Yu knew at a glance that they were not mortal products, although they were still hidden in the jet-black scabbard, but the fierce momentum could not be hidden.

Wu Tong was even more excited, "Could it be a peerless sword forged by Master Xiao?"

"Not bad. Wu Changfeng glanced at him approvingly, "Tomorrow the four of you will leave for the Double Emperor Academy, and if you wear a peerless sword, you will have more strength." ”

He paused, and then said, "Xue'er already has one before, so I'll give you these three." ”

Wu Tong was just about to take it, but he told again: "The longer of the three is the best quality, and it should be given to Ling Gongzi, after all, we can have today, he is the biggest hero." ”

"I'll take care of it. Wu Tong said respectfully.

Although this was the case, as soon as he said this, Ling Yu was a little embarrassed, and arched his hand: "The master of the martial arts village has praised it falsely, and the little nephew really deserves it." ”

After a few more polite words, everyone went back to their rooms, and there was no word for the night, and the next morning, four young men and women, escorted by everyone, embarked on a new journey.
