Chapter 176: The search was fruitless

In the forbidden mine road, Lu Chen searched for traces of spirit stones in the stone wall step by step along the road, and Huo Lao seemed to be very idle, and he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and followed Lu Chen step by step, which was really in place. At the same time, Huo Lao's mouth did not stop for a moment, and words such as "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you", "If you don't take the car as a lesson, you must repeat the mistakes of the past".

Lu Chen turned a deaf ear to this. First, Huo Lao may be sincerely trying to persuade him not to waste time. Second, it has been a long time since a newcomer arrived in the forbidden mine, and Huo Lao didn't know how long he had been guarding the forbidden mine, and he was lonely all day, and now he became a chatter when he saw him.

After about half an hour, Huo Lao's mouth was already dry, and Lu Chen had searched for more than a dozen stone walls in the forbidden mine, but he didn't even find a trace of a spirit stone.

Lu Chen stopped the operation of the Divine Sword's Qi Cultivation Technique, and withdrew the palm that had been pressing on the stone wall of the mine with his hand. After standing still, his face was slightly ugly. It's really the same as Jiang Feiyun and others said, the spirit stones contained in the forbidden mine are extremely rare.

Seeing that Lu Chen finally stopped, Huo Lao hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "How is it, Huo Lao, what I said before is not wrong." If you were willing to listen to me, where would you waste so much time? And by spending that time refining and destroying Dark Red Mars, you can refine and destroy at least three more Dark Red Mars. As he spoke, Huo Lao raised three fingers towards Lu Chen, and his wrinkled face looked sorry for Lu Chen.

After glancing at Huo Lao, Lu Chen knew that Huo Lao didn't plan to leave him tonight. And if Huo Lao doesn't leave, he can't use the power of knowing the sea. If you can't find the spirit stone with the general positioning method, it is a waste of time to stay in the forbidden mine. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Chen dispelled the idea of continuing to locate the spirit stone in the forbidden mine, stretched out a hand towards Huo Lao, and said slowly, "Take it." ”

Hearing this, Huo Lao immediately reacted and said with a smile: "It's not too late to figure it out now." As he spoke, he lifted the corner of his shirt and took out the purple gourd hanging from his waist, looked at Lu Chen, and asked, "How many grains do you want?"

"How many grains do you have in this gourd?" Lu Chen asked.

Huo Laowei thought for a moment and said, "Counting the one that was refined and destroyed by you before, there are a total of one hundred and twenty dark red sparks in the gourd. ”

When Lu Chen heard this, he was speechless for a while, it was just one hundred and twenty grains to pay three, and Huo Lao was really well prepared. "If you are willing, give me the gourd, and when I refine the remaining hundred or so dark red sparks inside, I will return the gourd to you. Lu Chen said.

"It's a good idea. Huo Lao nodded, and threw the purple gourd towards Lu Chen.

The palm-sized purple gourd crossed an arc in the air and fell steadily into Lu Chen's hands. Holding the purple gourd in his hand, Lu Chen was slightly surprised. Dark Red Mars is obviously not ordinary fire, and the purple gourd in Huo Lao's hand can hold dark red Mars and be safe and sound, it is definitely a treasure! Lu Chen originally thought that Huo Lao would not give him the purple gourd easily at all, but he didn't expect Huo Lao to throw the purple gourd into his hands without thinking about it.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Chen was relieved, even if the purple gourd of the old fire is a treasure, I am afraid it is also the cheapest and ordinary type of treasure, it is not as good as the storage bracelet, and it is far from the higher-level storage ring. Thinking like this, Lu Chen didn't take the purple gourd in his hand to heart, and turned around to leave the forbidden mine road and return to Dongfu Peak.

Seeing that Lu Chen was leaving, Huo Lao hurriedly advised: "Boy, the dark red sparks in the gourd are not a joke, there is no danger for you to refine and extinguish them one by one, don't pour them out all at once." You should also put away this purple gourd closely, don't take it out easily to show off, and if the gourd is lost, you can't afford to lose it if you sell it. ”

"I'll take care of it. Lu Chen said.

Although the speed at which a dark red spark burned true qi was fast, the amount was not too large, and it was more than enough for him to hold up the dark red spark with true qi. However, if more than a hundred Dark Red Mars come out at once, the consumption of True Qi will skyrocket, and one careless will cause the Dark Red Mars to hurt flesh and blood. With the experience of refining and destroying one dark red spark at a time, Lu Chen naturally would not refine more than a hundred dark red sparks at the same time. And with the purple gourd to show off, it will be even more not, Huo Lao's worry is purely superfluous.

Lu Chen lifted the corner of his shirt, pinned the palm-sized purple gourd to his waist, and immediately walked up the pit ladder stone road to leave the forbidden mine road.

Back at Dongfu Peak, there was still some time before dawn at this moment, Lu Chen thought for a moment, Qiu Feng and Wu Tao had Ning Yu to take care of, but he couldn't help much in the past, so he returned to his cave mansion to continue cultivating. About two hours later, the sky gradually brightened.

patted the purple gourd on his waist, and Lu Chen decided not to go to the forbidden mine for the time being. Because at this moment, when he went to the forbidden mine, Huo Lao was bound to follow him step by step, so he could not use the power of sea knowledge to find spirit stones. And when all the more than 100 dark red sparks in the purple gourd are refined and sent back to the purple gourd, they will enter the forbidden mine to search for spirit stones. With the speed at which he was mining spirit stones, as long as he knew where the spirit stones were, it would not be difficult to mine three thousand spirit stones in the forbidden mine, so he was not in a hurry.

And at this moment, there was a knock on the stone door of the cave. Lu Chen's eyes revealed a trace of doubt, the sky was not yet transparent, who would be looking for him at this moment.

Lu Chen opened the stone gate of the cave, and a graceful figure came into view, it turned out to be Jiang Feiyun, who had been promoted to a disciple of the outer sect of the Dantang.

"Captain, why are you here, you have something to do with me?" Lu Chen was slightly surprised. Jiang Feiyun is already a disciple of the outer sect of the Dantang at this moment, and after becoming a disciple of the outer sect of the Dantang, she will definitely not be idle, she should be looking for something for herself when she returns to the peak of the cave of the mine hall. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Chen noticed that Jiang Feiyun was holding a large package in his hand, and a familiar smell of medicinal herbs escaped from it, but Lu Chen didn't think much about it.

"What's the matter, can't I come over if it's okay?" Jiang Feiyun glared at Lu Chen, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Not really. Lu Chen smiled: "Come in and sit down." ”

"No, before dawn, I have to go back to Dantang. There are two things to do when you come back to the mine, the first thing is to send the healing pills and ointments to Qiu Equinox and Wu Tao, and the second thing is to send these medicinal materials to you. Jiang Feiyun said, handing over a large package she was holding in her hand to Lu Chen.

"These medicinal herbs are for me?" Lu Chen asked in surprise, Jiang Feiyun nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Chen opened the package and glanced inside, the package was full of blood pattern grass, stone milk crystal, dragon root, marrow refining flower, ice lotus seed, golden ginseng, winter thorn, flame flower, and Ningshen fruit, these are the nine medicinal materials for refining the Nine Treasures quenching body fluid. Lu Chen thought for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Without waiting for Lu Chen to react, Jiang Feiyun said, "After leaving the Mine Hall, I will go to the Book Hall first. After the registration was completed, I reported that I met a disciple from the outer sect of the medicine hall named Jiang Li in the Dantang, and he said that he was your friend, so I told him about your demotion to a miscellaneous disciple. After that, I went to the medicine pavilion in the Red Fire City at the outer gate to find Uncle Jiang Ye, and Uncle Jiang Ye said that these are the nine medicinal materials you purchased last time. I don't know if you need these nine medicinal materials now, but you have purchased 300 copies of each medicinal material, and you have to accept these medicinal materials. ”

After a pause, Jiang Feiyun continued: "You don't have to feel embarrassed, on the contrary, you help me too much, these three hundred medicinal materials together are only worth twenty or thirty low-grade spirit stones, which is not worth mentioning at all compared to the three thousand spirit stones in the gambling stone battle, and compared to the two years I want to continue to stay in the mine, it is even more different." And Uncle Jiang Ye asked me to tell you that I would go to the Medicine Pavilion in Red Fire City when I had time. ”

Jiang Feiyun said a lot to himself, and Lu Chen understood that Jiang Feiyun just wanted to accept the three hundred medicinal materials by himself. If he didn't accept these medicinal materials, Jiang Feiyun would probably be unhappy in his heart. As for Jiang Ye wanting to go to the Medicine Pavilion in Red Fire City if he has time, I am afraid that he also wants to express his gratitude to himself for Jiang Feiyun. Thinking of this, Lu Chen did not refuse, and simply accepted three hundred medicinal materials.

"It just so happens that I can use all these medicinal materials, and I won't waste them at all. Lu Chen twisted the package and said with a smile.

"Really?"

"Of course. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Feiyun was obviously relieved, and there was a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes. Through Jiang Ye's story, she knew that Lu Chen had never been to the Medicine Pavilion since he purchased a hundred medicinal materials, and she was worried that Lu Chen didn't need these medicinal materials anymore, but she just wanted to do her best to thank Lu Chen, but she didn't expect that the purchased medicinal materials would still be useful to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, he had recently stopped his cultivation of gluttonous Devouring Heavenly Scripture because the nine medicinal materials for refining the Nine Treasures Quenching Body Fluid had been exhausted, and he had no money left to purchase medicinal materials. Seeing that he was still away from awakening the last twenty little gluttons from the gluttonous Devouring Heavenly Sutra, he could only stop cultivating, which was quite a pity, the three hundred medicinal materials sent by Jiang Feiyun were really a timely rain. Lu Chen estimated that the medicinal materials sent by Jiang Feiyun could refine three hundred copies of the Nine Treasure Quenching Body Fluid, and awaken the remaining twenty little gluttons, which should be more than enough to reach the first layer of the Ice Muscle Realm of the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Sutra.

Seeing that Lu Chen accepted the medicinal herbs, Jiang Feiyun was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something, his beautiful eyes looked at Lu Chen, and asked, "How long will these three hundred medicinal materials be enough for you?"

"After these three hundred medicinal materials are used up, I estimate that I will no longer be able to use these nine medicinal materials, so you don't have to send any more medicinal materials to me, if you send them, I will have to send them back to the Medicine Pavilion." Lu Chen said, as soon as Jiang Feiyun spoke, Lu Chen knew what Jiang Feiyun was thinking. Say it in advance, lest Jiang Feiyun run in vain.

"Don't lie to me. Jiang Feiyun said.

Lu Chen laughed and said, "You owe me such a big favor, I won't be polite to you." ”
