Chapter 20, Immortal Bay Spirit Mine

According to the time of the group chat, today should be just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, August 16. The gold mine owner decided that regardless of whether the herb pickers left or stayed, he would leave for Shuangjiang Town around the 20th.

Early in the morning, everyone found the place where the ginseng was unearthed, which was located on a valley platform about four or five miles away from the cave. Long Wu took five medicine pickers to search the neighborhood, but except for a few seven-leaf flowers in slightly better condition, there was no other harvest.

The crowd was disappointed and looked at the gold mine owner.

The gold mine owner has just completed a round of vein map scanning. Unlike other places, the dirt and weeds here show a light yellow color, and on the side of the mountain, there is a dark yellow jitter bright spot. In a pile of dead wood, find green highlights.

"Uncle Long, what valuable medicinal materials can be produced in the wood?"

"Gastrodia. But there is too much light here, and it doesn't look like a place out of Tianma. ”

"Dig."

Everyone was still hesitating, and Long Wu was the first to step forward. He is a very experienced herb picker, dead leaves, soil, dig up layer by layer, and put it next to it. If there is really gastrodia, as long as it is handled properly, you can come and dig it once a year.

At tea time, the first dead wood was taken out, covered with white mycelium. When everyone saw it, they immediately became excited.

"Leave one person, the other four, and chop wood."

Half an hour later, Long Wu and another herb picker dug a ditch five feet wide and one zhang long, and took out gastrodia that looked like a radish and a long bud from it. The gold mine owner put it in his hand and swept it with the vein map, dark green!

After hard work, the two dug up a total of more than 20 gastrodia, the big one was seven or eight taels, and the small one was three or four taels. As for the finger-sized ones, there must be forty or fifty. After the firewood chopping came back, everyone started together, a layer of new firewood, a few rotten wood with white mycelium, paved with old soil, and put more than ten small gastrodia, so stacked three or four layers. Finally, cover with soil, cover with dead leaves, and put a few giant trees across the horizon to prevent wild boars from stealing and eating.

A medicine picker rubbed his hands happily: "Not to mention, there are seven or eight catties, which is worth a few taels of silver." ”

The gold mine owner didn't speak, and asked Long Wu to pick up a half-catty gastrodia, clamp it between his palms, and carry the alchemy.

"There is a warm current that enters the body through the palm of the hand. Young master, is this the treasure of heaven and earth that the immortals said? ”

"Almost."

The five jumped for joy. It's a treasure of heaven and earth, it's a thing that is priced in silver.

"Leave a shovel and you go back first."

Long Wu didn't ask much, took the herb picker, and left happily. Just these days are enough for them to live a fat year.

After they left, the gold mine owner re-scanned the vein map, selected the dark yellow bright spot on the side of the mountain, and began to dig down. When digging to a depth of five feet, a bluestone slab is exposed. With great effort, the stone slab was removed, revealing a hole, and a cold air rushed out.

The entrance to the cave is three feet high and two feet wide, and it enters the mountain diagonally. The gold mine owner, holding a fire fold in one hand and a short knife in the other, climbed in. After about fifty or so steps, the entrance to the cave became larger and I could walk on my feet. While walking, I scanned the ore vein map and found that there were some green and blue highlights mixed in the middle of the white stones.

Spirit Mine Cave!

It is no wonder that both native ginseng and gastrodia have an aura, and they were originally located in the vents of the mine. The dark yellow jitter is the water that flows out of the crevices in the cave. The gold mine owner suddenly became excited, walked all the way, swept all the way, and found blue bright spots one after another. These highlights are the shallowest and the shallowest is also a zhang, and there are no mining tools in hand, so naturally there is only drooling.

Except for the ten or so zhang when I first came in, it was a flat road, and the rest were all downhill roads. After walking about fifty zhang, I came to the first cave hall. It is a natural cave, ten zhang wide and thirty zhang high. Just as he was about to move forward, a dark shadow rushed over and disappeared immediately in front of him.

The gold mine owner was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Lu, ghosts are not like ghosts, what are they?" ”

"It seems to be a ghost, the kind of three souls and seven souls that are incomplete."

The second fire was already half burned, and the gold mine owner did not dare to go any further and looked around. This look almost didn't scare him. In one corner of the cave, there were more than a dozen people, to be exact, dried corpses and bones. They had tools in their hands and bamboo hats on their heads, and their limbs were not damaged, so they should have been trapped inside.

Open the vein map again, and sweep it as you walk back. Just listen to the buzz, the vein map automatically searches for a new map, opens it, and zooms in. At the vent of the roof door of the mine, there is a bright spot, which is its current location.

It's a secret house, a mine cave, and a vein map, in the previous life, you're a cow!

There was a sound of soft footsteps behind him, and the gold mine owner suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Who? ”

No response.

This place is too scary. Just as he was about to leave, the thief in his head suddenly said, "It's a big turtle." ”

The gold mine owner turned, bent down, and shone his fire downward. Sure enough, a mountain turtle of seven or eight catties walked towards him. Due to the lack of sunlight for a long time, the shell has turned translucent white. Since you find it, take it away. He took the short knife, picked up the turtle, and left the mine.

When I climbed out of the hole, I found that it was completely dark. It took a lot of effort to put the slate back into place. Then it took another hour to fill the hole completely. When I returned to the cave, it was already the middle of the night.

After eating and bathing, the gold mine owner lay down on his bed and opened the vein map he had just unlocked. At the top left of the picture, there is a row of small characters: Shenxian Bay Spirit Mine Class II.

This time surprised the gold mine owner. I asked the thieves before, and the spirit ore is graded according to the yield and quality, with the lowest category and the highest category at present, the fourth category. And the Miaoshan Spirit Mine where he is located is classified as a Class I, and by chance, I discovered a Class II mine. If this news is released, the immortal world will not be able to break its head.

He thought about it, opened the swarm of thieves, and posted a message on it.

No. 66: I found the Spirit Mine of Fairy Bay in a book of different chronicles, and asked for a scientific spectrum.

Someone replied immediately.

Number 68: @六十六号, ten thieves for the consultation fee.

In addition to communication and water blowing, the thieves and rats also have trading functions. Thieves are used here, and each thief points a tael of silver. The gold mine owner's thief account is one, and even if he has silver, he doesn't know how to top it up.

Number 66: Forget it, there is a new thief, and there are not enough thieves.

Number 68: The new thief has an overdraft limit of 20 thief points.

Sixty-Six: Let's get through one, then.

As long as you are willing to spend money, no one will teach. A quarter of an hour later, the owner of the gold mine overdrew twenty points and transferred ten points to the sixty-eighth. Soon, he received a private message from the 68th.

The Shenxian Bay Spirit Mine, the most mysterious spirit mine in the world, is located on the south side of the 100,000 Great Mountain, and the specific location is unknown. Initially, the spirit mine was discovered by several explorers and excavated privately. After the mass production of spirit crystals, it attracted competition from various immortal sects. A hundred years ago, in a great war, all parties suffered heavy losses, all the participants were missing, and the spirit mine evaporated.

After reading it, the gold mine owner withdrew from the group of thieves and rats and re-studied the Sanctuary Bay vein map.
