Chapter 40: Gastrodia

There are at least hundreds of miners in a vein, so there are usually about five family guards guarding a vein at any one time.

The guard who was found by Yutou and Sanzi was a Qu family four-ring cultivator in his thirties, whose name was Qu Mo. Although the work in the mine is relatively difficult and the environment is also very harsh, they can get two spirit pills from the family every month.

You must know that the young children in the outer courtyard of the family generally only have a quota of two Gathering Spirit Pills per month. When the children of the family reach a certain age, these children of the family must leave the inner and outer courtyards that are used as training bases, and it is impossible for the family to provide them with a lifetime of cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Pill. Being able to get two Gathering Spirit Pills every month is already ideal.

Qu Mo saw Sanzi and Yutou coming over with a black stone, and when he heard them describe the special features of the stone in their hands, he didn't pay much attention to it at first. In the vein, every ten days and half a month, such a situation will occur.

However, each time, these guards will also take it seriously, after all, if there is only one time when the miners find a stone that is really of special value, it is worth doing many useless efforts.

"I'll see. Qu Mo took the black stone from Sanzi's hand, and frowned, this stone was indeed very heavy, even much heavier than ordinary metal.

He looked at it with a condensed gaze, reached out and wiped it on the surface of the stone with the sleeve of his coat, and looked at it carefully. And the third son and the fish head also looked at Qu Mo with expectant eyes, hoping that this stone would have some value, even if it would be good to reward them with a gold coin and a half.

They worked in the veins, earning only four or five gold coins a month.

"Huh?" Qu Mo's expression gradually became solemn, and a suspicious sound came out of his mouth.

Because, when he observed the surface of this stone, there were some regular lines. Qu Mo had never seen this kind of stone with his own eyes, but as a cultivator of the Four Environmental Realms, he also knew a little about the forms and characteristics of some special stones, especially working in the ore veins.

After a while, Qu Mo shook his head, looked at the three sons and said, "This stone is a little unusual, you come with me, and I will take you to meet Lord Deacon." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the three sons suddenly brightened and they glanced at each other. After taking a breath quietly, he suppressed the faint excitement and excitement in his heart, followed behind Qu Mo's guard, and walked towards the outside of the vein.

"Bell, bell, bell!"

In the veins, the sound of metal tools colliding with ore can be heard everywhere.

"Hey, why haven't they come back yet?"

"Is there really anything special about that stone?"

"How can there be so many special stones, and if there are more, they will not be special, and they will be valuable just because they are rare. ”

"That's true, but they should be back depending on the time, they've been gone for so long. ”

"I said, if you're curious, ask and come back and tell us what's going on. ”

These miners, who worked in the same place with the fish head, talked loudly and laughed.

"Just go, I won't be able to delay much time left and right. The miner, who couldn't help his curiosity, threw aside the tool in his hand and walked briskly outside.

At this time, the two fish heads had already followed Qu Mo to a courtyard above the ore vein, and Qu Mo took the two of them and the stone to a room together.

"Lord Deacon. Qu Mo stood still outside and shouted in the direction of the door.

"Come in. A deep voice came from the room.

Qu Mo glanced at the two of them and said, "Come in with me." ”

After speaking, Qu Mo pushed open the door of the room, raised his feet and stepped in, and the two fish heads followed in with some trepidation. Normally, they would also be able to get in touch with the guards of the Qu family, and where they could come into contact with any deacon, they could rarely even see it.

The deacon in the room was Qu Mingyuan, at this time Qu Mingyuan was standing in the room, his eyes fell on the three people who came in, his eyes were fixed, he saw a black stone in Qu Mo's hand, and he instantly understood the purpose of the three people's arrival.

Generally speaking, only those stones that could not even be taken by the guards in the veins were brought up for the deacon's identification, and this stone was obviously the kind that the guards could not decide to be useless.

"Is there anything unusual about this stone?" Qu Mingyuan asked Qu Mo in a flat voice.

"Yes, Lord Deacon, the weight of this stone is unusual, and I see that the surface of the stone has some fine regular patterns, not like ordinary ore, so I brought it up and asked the deacon to decide. Qu Mo lowered his gaze, held the black ore in both hands, and said slowly.

"I'll see. Qu Mingyuan stretched out his hand, and took the black stone with one hand, and in an instant, a fine light shot out of his eyes, and his whole body shook slightly.

When he saw the lines on the stone, he could already roughly determine what kind of ore it was. What surprised him even more was that the texture on the surface of this ore was more precise and complex than the ones he had seen several times before, that is, the quality of this ore was higher than the ones he had seen.

After a few breaths, Qu Mingyuan raised his head under the expectant gaze of the three people, looked at the three of them, and said slowly, "This is a piece of gastrodia stone!"

"What?" Qu Mo's body trembled suddenly, and his eyes were also wide.

Gastrodia, of course he had heard of it, but in his life, he had never had the opportunity to see it in person. And this time, he was holding a piece of rumored priceless gastrodia stone enough to have tea time.

"Whew!" Qu Mo exhaled deeply, his face full of incredulity.

Unexpectedly, in a low-level vein that is not large, a piece of gastrolite was found, and the probability of such a thing can be said to be very small, but it appeared like this.

"This ore, was discovered by the two of you?" Qu Mingyuan turned his eyes to look at the fish head and the third son, who were still a little stunned, and asked in a gentle voice.

Yutou and Sanzi didn't know what kind of stone Gastrodia was, but they basically knew at this time that the stone they found was not an ordinary worthless rotten stone, but had a certain value.

"Yes, we found the stone, and when I picked it up, I thought it was heavy, so I went to find the guard. The fish head nodded hurriedly, and glanced at Qu Mo with some trembling eyes.

"Well, you are going to get rich, and in the future, you will no longer be able to do this hard work, and this stone is indeed valuable. Qu Mingyuan smiled and said to the two of them in a very good mood.

Hearing this, the two of them also smiled, and good luck finally befell the two of them.

"Deacon...... Excuse me, Lord Deacon, how much reward will we get? If it weren't for a lot, then I would have to continue to work here, my woman, and I still want to buy a house in Yuyang City. Miko licked her lips, her eyes lowered, and she asked with some slurry.

In Yuyang City, even if you buy a house in a remote place, you need close to thousands of gold coins, which is a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

"Don't worry, I still need to discuss with the other two deacons of the family about the specific reward for you, but I can tell you right now that your reward must be quite a lot, and it will not be a problem to buy a few houses in Yuyang City. Seeing the simple expression of the third son, Qu Mingyuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Huh?"

"So much?"

Sanzi and Yutou both jumped up excitedly, they never imagined that this gray stone they found was so valuable. Even if they only reward ten or eight gold coins, it will be enough for them to have a good time, and go back to make a good appearance with other miners, which is a windfall.

"Well, alright, you go back and wait first, remember not to leave the mine, I will go to the other two deacons of the family now, and in an hour, I will send someone to inform you to collect the reward. Qu Mingyuan's eyes swept over the two of them, and he nodded.

"Thank you, Lord Deacon, thank you, Lord Deacon. The two thanked each other and happily exited the room.

"Qu Mo, you come with me to meet the other two deacons. Qu Mingyuan turned to Qu Mo and said.

"Yes, Lord Deacon. Qu Molian nodded in response.

It was he who brought the two miners who discovered the gastrodia, and naturally he also had some credit, and the family would inevitably give him a certain reward, so Qu Mo was also in a very good mood at this time, and his eyes narrowed.

In another room in the courtyard, three deacons of the Qu family in the mining area stared at the gastrodia stone the size of an adult's head placed on a large rock.

"This gastrolite is of high quality. ”

"I also think so, its value is at least tens of thousands of Gathering Spirit Pills. ”

"In our veins, we can unexpectedly dig up such treasures, if we can find more gastrodia stones, the powerful fingers of the Qu family can be waited for. ”

The three deacons, you and I are discussing the gastrodia in front of you word by word.

Gastrodia is a very special ore, which is formed after 10,000 years or even hundreds of thousands of years after the interweaving of extremely strong laws, and the formation conditions are extremely difficult.

If you want to form a piece of gastrodia, it must be a rare thing that can trigger the laws of heaven, it is difficult to say what this thing is, it can be a martial art, it can also be a weapon, or even a kind of mineral crystal a plant, no matter what kind of thing, it must be very rare and rare, and it will cause the high-density interweaving of the laws of heaven, and finally form a piece of ore, which is the so-called gastrodia.

That is to say, there must be a treasure in every gastrodia, but it is difficult to say what this treasure is, and it is not possible to know what treasure is inside before opening the gastrodia. And the texture on the surface of gastrodia is, in some respects, the law of heaven.

Generally speaking, the more sophisticated and complex the pattern, the more rare and rare the treasures hidden in the gastrodia stone.
