Chapter 966: A cameo as a miner
What happened in the hinterland of the jungle was naturally unknown to people from the outside world. Although Xu Zhengdao could guess that there must have been people who contacted the village where the cup master lived from time to time. But when he leaves, who knows what's going on here?
The most important thing is that the cup master has been solved by him, and none of the people in the village who practice the cup art can survive. Even the cup worms that the cup master has worked hard to raise over the years have been wiped out by Xu Zhengdao.
Even if there are fish that slip through the net, they can't make any big waves in a short time. For Xu Zhengdao, I believe that there should be no more people in the cup in the short term to go to Xiangjiang to seek medical advice.
Although this time I came to the rainforest in the border land, I really came to the cup master of this scourge. But Xu Zhengdao is also unsure that the cup master who was killed by him is the cup master who harmed the party.
Since there is something to be gained here, Xu Zhengdao will definitely continue to move forward. Although it has been more than a month since he came out, for Xu Zhengdao, who has a long life, he really doesn't need to be anxious, and it doesn't hurt to turn around for a while.
It's just that what Xu Zhengdao didn't expect was that most of those who were in the cup were not spared as soon as the cup master died. For a cup-master who has a strong desire to control, how can he not control those disciples who have taught cup-making techniques and released them to the outside world?
Now that the cup master is dead, those disciples who were controlled by him with the cup technique were all tragically devoured by the cup worms without exception. In a sense, the line of the cup master is basically severed. Those who can survive are afraid that they will not dare to touch the cup again for the rest of their lives.
But what does this have to do with Xu Zhengdao, who continues to explore in the rainforest?
Following the previously anticipated route, Xu Zhengdao walked out of the dense forest and began to come to the border area with jadeite veins. The so-called jadeite refers to jade and other jade too much. Nephrite, on the other hand, mostly refers to white jade such as Hetian jade.
For Xu Zhengdao, although in recent years he has purchased a variety of jade materials. It's a rare trip, and he feels that he can save a lot of trouble by digging himself. The most important thing is that if new veins can be found, more jade material can be excavated.
Compared with other treasures collected, jade is of great help to improve the aura and area of the space. Because the amount of aura contained in jade is often much higher than that of other gemstones.
If he can find a vein that has not yet been mined, then Xu Zhengdao will definitely have to dig it out. As for doing so, it is somewhat suspicious of poaching. The question is, what does this have to do with him?
Coming to the vicinity of the mountains rich in jadeite, Xu Zhengdao, who was hidden in the shadows, also observed the old veins that were being mined or had been mined. As he imagined, the excavation of these jadeites was also full of unknown blood.
Especially as the price of jadeite rough continues to rise, some veins are even guarded by a large number of armed men. Compared with the huge sums of money made by mine owners, those miners who are responsible for digging sometimes cannot even guarantee their lives.
"No matter what gem is, from the time it is discovered and sold by humans, there is always a bloody side that no one knows. I had only heard of blood diamonds before, but the mining and sale of these jade gems did not seem to be as peaceful as imagined! ”
Don't look at the many rich businessmen who come here every year to purchase jadeite rough stones, but after many rich businessmen come, they may not be able to leave alive. For many people who take risks, they are often willing to fight for their lives.
The most important thing is that with such a scarce resource, the level of development here is very backward. In order to survive, people often don't care about what moral limits they have. In their opinion, if you have money, you can live, and if you want to live, you must work hard.
"Well, let's go somewhere else!"
Along the vicinity of the main jadeite mining area, Xu Zhengdao also began to climb the mountains and mountains, looking for the places where he thought had not yet been discovered. After some searching, he did find a few areas that in his opinion, are rich in ore vein resources.
It's just that some veins are buried deep in the ground and close to areas of human activity. In his opinion, it is not convenient to dig. After a final search, he finally found a place of jade veins in the dense forest.
Looking at the mountain at his feet, Xu Zhengdao smiled a little bitterly and said: "Alas, the dignified Jindan monk actually wants to be a miner for a period of time. Forget it, in order to upgrade the space as soon as possible, be a miner and be a miner, and work for yourself anyway. ”
Finding a hidden location closest to the ore vein, Xu Zhengdao used the refining magic shovel to start digging quickly. Unlike other mines that dig jadeite rough, he can pinpoint the exact location of the veins.
Even if there was jade hidden in those stones, he could sense it. So just dig along the vein. After the excavation is completed, the mine will be filled, and I am afraid that no one will know about it in a short time.
Digging out the entrance hole that could be freely accessed, Xu Zhengdao soon came to the location of the vein where the jadeite rough was piled up. Using the shovel in his hand, the jadeite rough that seemed to be extremely hard was also excavated piece by piece.
There is no need to pick up at all, and all the rough stones are directly collected into the space for decomposition. Although the effect of jadeite rough on the space is far less than that of the previously discovered chalcedony yuanshi. But the problem is that the number of veins in front of me is huge!
As the pieces of jadeite rough were devoured by the decomposition of space, the space began to expand. But these, for Xu Zhengdao, who is immersed in the fun of mining, naturally has no way to know, but digs and digs hard!
By the time he felt a little tired, a hundred-meter-long hole had appeared behind him. Knowing that it was already dark outside at the moment, he didn't come out of the hole, but rested directly in the mine, and the area was enough anyway.
After eating and drinking, he also checked the harvest at the end of the day. As he had expected, the space had indeed expanded considerably. Even, he could clearly feel that the concentration of spatial aura had increased again.
"Not bad! As far as I am concerned, the higher the level of spatial ascension, the stronger my ability to assist in my cultivation. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will go to those places abroad that produce gems and jade, and maybe I will gain something. ”
Although Xu Zhengdao did not know, the main source of these jade and gemstones would be the location of the spiritual veins of the cultivation era. But he could feel that where there were ore veins, the concentration of aura was indeed higher than in other places.
At present, in China, several major jade producing places, jade reserves have been greatly reduced. For Xu Zhengdao, he will not feel that there is any problem in digging foreign veins. But digging into the country, he still feels guilty.
In that case, then he will definitely put the object of excavation abroad. As for digging up these precious jade and gemstones, it will cause certain losses abroad. But what does it have to do with him?
For Xu Zhengdao, who is in urgent need of various resources to improve his space, he is indeed very 'poor'. Even in the past few years, he began to exchange tonic medicine for these resources, but it was a drop in the bucket.
What's even more troublesome for him is that he needs or collects these resources, which leads to the increasing value of these resources. Although many people don't know what the use of these things is, it does not affect them to collect or even collect.
In this case, if you want to exchange for real good things, it is really better to dig into the main production area yourself. In addition to wasting a little time and labor, the harvest is very good. In Xu Zhengdao's view, this kind of hard work is very worthwhile!
