The next day, Shi Jiu continued to come to the mine to mine, and the goal he set was to dig up a piece of lead-streaked Mithril the size of a thumb cover.

Someone else can dig up a thumb-sized lead line Mithril, but there's no reason why I can't dig it, right? With this mentality, Shi Jiu began the next day's excavation.

It's a pity that it backfired, and there was nothing to gain in a day today.

"It's okay, continue tomorrow, the bread will definitely be there, my goal will be achieved." Shi Jiu comforted himself.

On the third day, Shi Jiu continued to dig, and finally dug up a grain of lead Mithril again near evening, which was still just as small, far from the size of his thumb, but Shi Jiu's heart still felt a sense of satisfaction.

After returning to the camp, Shi Jiu played with the rice-sized lead Mithril in his hand.

This thing can be refined, it is a good rare metal, the so-called rare is expensive, ordinary people can't buy it, and there is no place to sell it, only high-level trading houses like Feng Bao Zhai and large-scale auctions can appear, and the other is like Shi Jiu now, do it yourself to dig.

"By the way, three days have come, and the bag that Kim Yuna gave me can be opened."

Shi Jiu always remembered this, Jin Yun'er's approach really whetted his appetite, and now he can finally open it.

Then he took out the delicate gold wire inlaid pouch from the storage ring, and then carefully opened it.

"Huh? It's a note. Shi Jiu poured the contents of the bag into his right hand, and a small piece of paper appeared in front of his eyes.

There were a few lines of small characters on the paper, and Shi Jiu looked at it carefully.

There is a big crack in the Hengduan Mountains, there is ink shadow grass in it, Wangshi Gongzi picked two flowers for me Feng Bao Zhai, if you don't understand something, you can ask Wu Steward.

"Ink Shadow Grass? What's that? Why does Kim Yuna want me to pick it for them? After reading a few lines on the paper, Shi Jiu encountered several questions in his heart, but he could not get answers.

"Looks like I'm going to ask Steward Wu."

Shi Jiu came to Steward Wu's office with questions.

"Shi Gongzi, do you have a harvest today?" Seeing Shi Jiu's arrival, Steward Wu asked with a smile.

"It's okay, I dug up a grain of lead Mithril today, and I harvested two in three days."

"Oh, not bad, will you continue tomorrow?" Steward Wu asked.

"Let's talk about this, I have a few questions for you today?" Shi Jiu said.

"Oh? What's the problem? As long as I know, I will know everything. ”

"That's right, I just read the tips that Miss Yan'er gave me, and then it mentioned that I hope I can pick a few ink shadow grass for Feng Bao Zhai, what is the ink shadow grass? And why do you want me to pick it, Feng Bao Zhai is full of talents, there should be no shortage of people who can climb and collect, right? Shi Jiu asked the question in his heart and waited for the other party's answer.

"Since Shi Gongzi has seen Miss's message, then I have nothing to hide." Steward Wu nodded and said: "The Ink Shadow Grass is a special spiritual thing, it is different from the ordinary Heaven and Earth Spirit Grass, it cannot be consumed, nor can it be refined, but it can make people feel a trace of the dark law, it is the dream of many people who cultivate and comprehend the dark law, but this thing is too rare, and the growth environment is harsh, ordinary people can't get it at all." “

"Can you make people feel a hint of the law of darkness? Good stuff indeed. It is said that the Ink Shadow Grass grows in the Great Crack of the Cross-Section, and what is it? To be honest, I still know a little about the Hengduan Mountains, but I've never heard of the Great Hengduan Crack, and why do you want me to pick it up? Shi Jiu continued to ask.

These are all issues that Shi Jiu is very concerned about, he has a good relationship with Jin Yuna, but he will not rush there without knowing it.

"Hengduan Great Rift, it's normal that ordinary people haven't heard of it, it's in the core of the Hengduan Mountain Range, it's extremely dangerous, there are all kinds of underworld beasts, and ordinary people can't walk there." Steward Wu explained, "In addition, if you want to collect the Ink Shadow Grass, ordinary monks can't do it, because there is an extremely strong erosion of the dark will, and the willpower is not strong enough to even have the qualifications to approach, let alone pick it." Originally, Mr. Spiegel from Feng Bao Zhai was going to collect, but because of some things, I couldn't leave for the time being, so I could only ask Shi Gongzi. “

Speaking of which, Steward Wu also implored Shi Jiu to go, which was one of the reasons why he came here this time.

"Hehe, your Mr. Mingjing and Miss Yan'er also look up to me too much, in terms of cultivation, I am not as good as Wu in charge of you, how can you take on this heavy responsibility?"

Since opening his divine sense, Shi Jiu's divine sense is also extremely sensitive, and when he was in Feng Bao Zhai before, he felt that Steward Wu's cultivation was in the late stage of the Strength Realm, and he was inferior to the other party in the peak realm level of the late stage of the Spirit Realm.

"Shi Gongzi is modest, and if he wants to pick the Ink Shadow Grass, he sees not only cultivation, but more importantly, the strength of willpower. I had followed Mr. Spiegel there, but only stopped at the edges, where the dark will was too strong to push my limits. But Shi Gongzi, you are different, Mr. Spiegel praised you, saying that you are not much worse than him in terms of willpower, and only you can complete this task in Feng Bao Zhai except him, of course, if you don't want to, we are not reluctant. Steward Wu said sincerely.

"Eh, I've been praised by Mr. Spiegel, if I refuse, then I can't say anything."

"Shi Gongzi, did you agree?" Steward Wu said in surprise

"Well, when are we leaving?" Shi Jiu nodded and asked.

"Calculating the time, the Ink Shadow Grass will mature in about a week, and we'd better set off in three days."

"Okay, then leave in three days, just let me know when the time comes."

"No problem, I'll go and tell someone to prepare in advance now."

……

The teams of Lan Ming City, the Peerless Palace and the Tong Lin Hall also arrived, and their first stop was also the Shuntian Dart Bureau, smiling when they entered, but after coming out, they had gloomy faces.

"Elder Bai, that Shuntian Dart Bureau is obviously perfunctory to us, can't they still see the situation clearly?" The fifth elder, the person in charge of the Tonglin Palace, said with some displeasure.

"Elder Hu, don't be angry, didn't we already predict their reactions? It's impossible to convince them to join us all at once. Elder Bai of the Peerless Palace comforted.

"I know this, it's just that their chief helmsman didn't come forward to see us, which makes me feel very uncomfortable, no matter what, the strength of our two families is much stronger than his Shuntian, and there are soul realm powerhouses in the sect, so they don't even give this face?" Elder Hu said angrily.

"There's nothing to be angry about, it's normal for their chief helmsman not to come forward, only in this way can they not offend us for the time being, and delay time by the way, otherwise we insist on them to take a stand, what should they do?" Peerless Palace Elder Bai said.

"Hearing you say that, it seems to be the case, and since that's the case, the remaining two are probably about the same." The white-haired Elder Hu nodded.

"Well, it's probably the same, but it's still going to go. I have received news that the people from the Ghost Fire Sect arrived here a few days ago, but the three families also did not respond positively, and they are probably dragging their feet, wanting to see which one is more sincere and powerful, us or the Ghost Fire Sect. Elder Bai continued.

"Well, after going to the remaining two families, we will send the news here back to their respective sects, and the sect masters will decide."

After that, the Peerless Palace and the Tonglin Hall went to the Fire Fist Gate and the Water Heaven Pavilion respectively, and a similar scene appeared again, because of the previous scene in the Shuntian Dart Bureau, the two no longer complained, but immediately sent the news back to their respective sects, waiting for further instructions.

In Feng Bao Zhai, Jin Yun'er received a message from Steward Wu and learned that Shi Jiu had promised to go to Hengduan Great Crack to pick ink shadow grass.

"Uncle Ming, do you really think that Shi Jiu can resist the erosion of the dark will there?" Kim Yuna asked with some concern.

She had also been to the Great Crack of Darkness with Mr. Spiegel, where the erosion of the dark will was too powerful, although because of the cultivation of a certain kind of magic technique, Jin Yun'er's willpower itself was not weak, and it was even stronger than Dong Hu Huomeng and others who cultivated at the same level, but it also stopped at the edge of the crack, and she couldn't move forward again.

Although Shi Jiu's willpower was amazing, she was not sure that the other party would be able to pick it.

"What? Are you worried about that kid? It can't be that you have a crush on him, right? Looking at Kim's worried look, Mr. Spiegel quipped.

"Uncle Ming, what are you talking about, I am just friends with him, and I will cooperate in the Dream Secret Realm in the future, I don't want him to have any accidents in the traverse crack." Jin Yun'er glanced at the other party and said a little dissatisfied.

"Hehe, don't be angry, just kidding." Mr. Spiegel lost a no. "Don't worry, I have confidence in him, he can stand in the same position as me to watch the catastrophe, there is nothing to say about willpower, the only thing that is almost close is cultivation, but it is not a big problem, let's wait for their good news."

"Uncle Ming, are you so sure of him?"

Jin Yan'er looked at Uncle Ming very seriously, even though she recognized Shi Jiu's strength very much, but she was not sure about this matter.

Mr. Spiegel didn't answer immediately, but after staring out the window for a few minutes, he said, "Yeon'er, you know what? Some time ago, when that kid set off for Blackwater City, I secretly observed him with the chief helmsman of the Shuntian Dart Bureau. ”

"What? You were there at the time? Did you eavesdrop on our conversation too? Kim Yuna was a little displeased.

Although Uncle Ming is the closest person to her, eavesdropping on their conversation still makes her angry.

"Hehe, why are you so jealous? Rest assured, we didn't eavesdrop on your conversations, we just watched him secretly. Seeing Jin Yun'er's angry expression, Mr. Spiegel shook his head helplessly, and then continued: "At that time, I told Dong Tianling that I can't see through that kid's future, everything about him is a mystery, and his future achievements are unpredictable. ”

"Really? Could it be that he is a demonic figure, comparable to those geniuses of the Central Three Mansions? Jin Yuna looked at Mr. Spiegel in front of her in surprise, and couldn't believe that he had such a high opinion of Shi Jiu.

Mr. Spiegel shook his head: "You misunderstood, I didn't say that he was talented and evil, but I couldn't see through him." In fact, because of my practice of that kind of exercise, such as you, Dong Hu, I can see a little bit of your future, even if it is a few peerless geniuses in the three central prefectures, I can see a little bit, but only him, I can't see it. ”

"Uncle Ming, what do you mean......" Jin Yuna couldn't understand.

"To put it simply, his future is like a fog, unknown and mysterious, and many seemingly impossible things can always happen to him."

"So, Uncle Ming, do you think he might really be able to collect the Ink Shadow Grass?"

"Perhaps." Mr. Spiegel did not deny it, "Let's not talk about this, just now the people from the Peerless Palace and the Tonglin Hall went to the Shuntian Dart Bureau, if nothing else, there will be no gain." ”

"Well, it's not time to stand in line yet, so the Shuntian Dart Bureau and others will naturally not take a position easily. It's just that the current situation will have an impact on my Feng Bao Zhai? "Kim Yuna is worried about the tense situation? It will affect Feng Bao Zhai's business today.

"Rest assured, the more tense the situation, the better it will be for our business. We just need to be a spectator and watch the two sides sing, and they will naturally come to us for business when the time comes. Mr. Spiegel concluded.

"I see." Kim Yuna nodded.
