Chapter 187: Tianchi Fort
Li Shuidao searched all the way, and finally saw a mountain emitting smoke among the verdant mountains.
This mountain is not high, it cannot be called a high mountain, it can only be called a low mountain.
The mountain is located between two tall and majestic twin peaks, and its size is a bit chubby.
The earthy yellow smoke on the top of the mountain rises into the air, and you can see that this mountain is extraordinary at a glance.
This is the Tianchi Fire Poison Mine, the spiritual mine given to the Li family by the sect.
It is said that at least 30,000 spirit stones can be produced every year, which is the hope of the family's prosperity.
With the two secret mansions of the Golden Thorn Mountain and this spiritual mine, the family's annual income may reach more than 50,000.
It's just that the spirit plants in the Golden Thorn Mountain Secret Mansion haven't been planted yet, and now it's time to spend money.
In any case, with this spiritual ore family's situation, it can be improved a lot, and it may not be long before everyone can have a storage bag and a low-grade magic weapon.
When Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue approached the low mountain on foot, they were stopped by a person wearing the clothes of a Li family monk.
"This is the spirit mine of the Five Poison Sect, who dares to trespass?"
"I am from the Li family, Li Shuidao." Li Shuidao explained.
When the monk heard Li Shuidao's answer, he frowned, he had never seen Li Shuidao, and he had doubts about his identity, so he asked, "Is there a certificate?" ”
Li Shuidao immediately took out a piece of iron from his waist, which was the meritorious plaque of the Five Poisons Gate, with his name and place of origin engraved on it. He handed the iron piece to the monk, indicating his identity and purpose.
The monk took the piece of iron and examined it carefully, with a shocked expression on his face: "It turns out that you are really Li Shuidao, the son of Li Haoshan?" Your name is thunderous. ”
Li Shuidao smiled slightly, he knew that he had a good reputation in the family, and the patriarch had to read his name every time the clan meeting.
It's just a matter of having a big reputation in the family, but if it spreads to the outside world in the future......
Li Shuidao's eyes were dewed.
There is nothing good in this world, and if you can take it all and enjoy the resources of your family, you have to bear this reputation.
Among his peers, he is the elder brother, the next generation of Li Tianwu.
Resources are not worried, and people are also roasted on the fire.
Cards!
Have more hole cards!
The monk looked at Xia Ruoxue and asked, "Dare to ask who this girl is?" ”
Li Shuidao immediately explained: "She is my lady. ”
The monk was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Li Shuidao to come with his wife. He reminded: "The poisonous smoke on the mountain is very heavy, and if a mortal approaches, he is afraid that his life will be lost." ”
"It's okay, my wife is here with me, we're ready."
The monk was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, now that you are ready, you can go up." By the way, my name is Li Tianchang. ”
Li Shuidao was overjoyed in his heart, and he said gratefully: "Thank you, Tianchang Shibo." ”
Li Tianchang smiled and nodded: "Your father is in Tianchi Fort, although he is a gecko fellow, but the family not only did not let him go mining, but also made him a deacon elder in Tianchi Fort." ”
"Oh...... I see, thank you for telling me. Li Shuidao saluted and said.
Li Tianchang signaled that the two could go up the mountain, and the two said goodbye and left.
As the two of them climbed along the mountain path, they got closer and closer to the earthy yellow poisonous cloud overhead.
Li Shuidao took a deep breath, and a scorching sour smell filled his nasal cavity, which was indeed fire poison.
Under this poisonous smoke, ordinary mortals will soon become seriously ill, but the monks who participate in the gecko will be like a fish in water when they cultivate here.
The Five Elements of Fire Generate Earth......
The further you go up the mountain, the more intense the aura becomes.
"There is both fire poison and aura, this is really a treasure place for geckos to participate in cultivation." Li Shuidao sighed to himself.
This spiritual mine is too important to the family, not to mention that you can still earn a lot of spirit stones every year, even if it is an upside-down spirit stone, you have to control it in your hands.
In the past, the Li family only had snake ginseng, and with this treasure land, the gecko and ginseng will also have great cultivation potential.
Soon......
Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue came halfway up the mountain, and a stone castle appeared in front of them
The stone fort is built of stone and wood and looks quaint and sturdy.
Entering the stone castle, I saw that the outer wall of the building was blackened by the flames, revealing the traces of time.
The roof is covered with a thick layer of stone slabs to protect against toxic smoke.
In the distance, several clansmen were pushing wheelbarrows down the mountain, their bodies covered in sweat and looking very hard.
The wheelbarrow had just entered the warehouse and drove straight to the warehouse entrance.
Li Haoshan, as a deacon of the warehouse, stood at the entrance to greet the miners.
One by one, they shouted the amount of ore they had shipped.
"Deacon Haoshan, I have fifty pieces of anointment and three stones here." A miner shouted loudly.
"I have forty-eight pieces of ointment and five stones here." Another miner also reported his own gains.
Li Haoshan carefully checked each mineral, and quickly registered it with a brush in his hand. He worked intently to make sure that every piece of ore was accurately recorded.
The warehouse was busy, and the ore was stored in an orderly manner. Workers are busy sorting the ores by type and quantity, and then placing them in designated locations.
Suddenly, a man and a woman appeared at the entrance.
When the man saw Li Haoshan, he excitedly shouted "Father!" ”
His voice echoed through the warehouse.
Li Haoshan raised his head and saw the arrival of his son.
"Li Shuidao, you're here! Wait a minute, I'll finish registering here. Although Li Haoshan was excited, the pen in his hand never stopped.
Moments later......
The miners have signed and pledged on the ledger, which has to be checked every day, and there can be no mistakes.
At this time, only Li Shuidao's family was left in the warehouse, and Li Haoshan looked at his son with a face full of relief.
"You didn't come to Tianchi Fort to see me, did you?" Li Haoshan showed a touch of self-deprecation.
"Father, I came to Tianchi Fort to visit you. However, there are other reasons as well. The patriarch promised to let me use the alchemy room for a while. Li Shuidao explained generously.
Li Haoshan was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Do you know how to do alchemy?" ”
"I learned a little bit when I was in the sect before."
"Not bad! It is worthy of the pride of the family. Li Haoshan said with emotion.
"The alchemy room and the refining room are in this Tianchi Fort, but if you want to use it, you need to go through the consent of the castle owner first, and now I, as a deacon of the warehouse, can't leave the warehouse without permission, the castle master is Li Tianfeng, and he is in the stone building in the middle." Li Haoshan pointed to the tallest stone tower in Tianchi Fort and said.
Li Shuidao nodded gratefully, he understood his father's duties and limitations. He took Xia Ruoxue's hand and walked towards the stone building together.
Li Haoshan looked at the backs of the two leaving, his face was both relieved and declining.
The castle lord's dwelling was grand and solemn, with the gate open and greeted by guards.
"What's the matter?" The guard asked.
"Li Shuidao visited the castle lord and asked for something." Li Shuidao took out his meritorious medal from his arms.
The guard looked at the merit card and didn't dare to slack off: "Please wait a while, I'll report it." ”
When the guards left, the door was opened, and Li Shuidao could have broken in directly, but he still chose to be polite.
The family still has to treat each other with courtesy, not to mention that Li Tianfeng is the patriarch's own son, and now he is afraid that he has also reached the Rong Ling Realm, and he can be regarded as the first second-order monk who cultivated the Five Poisons Skill of the Black Mountain after the Li family moved to the Five Poisons Gate.
I've rested enough, I want to earn money!
