Chapter 508: Xuanjin Xuanjing
After a stick of incense, Yi Heng walked through the broken cave wall, walked into the passage, and then carefully filled the four or five feet wide hole.
After entering the passage, his body changed for a while, and a living monk surnamed Wang walked towards the depths of the mine.
And the real monk surnamed Wang has been devoured by the gold devouring worm.
The monk surnamed Wang is named Wang Lianhai, who was originally a casual cultivator, and ten years ago took refuge in the deputy city lord of this city, the Huang family, and received the help of the Huang family's resources.
And this ore is not Cangyu Xuanjin Mine, but Cangyu Xuanjing Mine.
The difference between the two is only one word, but their value and preciousness are different from heaven and earth.
Although the Cangyu Xuanjin Mine is precious, it is only a derivative of the Cangyu Xuanjing Mine, and its hardness and weight can enhance the power of the magic weapon, which is not as good as the latter.
After Yi Heng asked about this news, he instantly felt that his heart was beating wildly, and he knew that if this matter was not handled well, it was very likely to trigger a monk war again.
At least the alliance led by the Shifang Academy in Luzhou, that is, its own alliance, will definitely intervene strongly, and all the monks related to this, the monks who know the news, will be cleaned up immediately.
This kind of ore resources can definitely be regarded as strategically important materials, and any force that obtains them will definitely hold it in their hands and protect and keep it secret as the most core resource.
Cangyu Xuanjin, smelting one or two in the magic weapon, only one or two can increase the speed of the magic weapon by one point, and the hardness of the magic weapon remains unchanged.
If you smelt one or two Cangyu Xuanjing, not to mention that the speed will increase tenfold, but five or six times will definitely be there, how powerful is this?
And in the end, when he asked him where the dug Cangyu Xuanjing Mine was sold and which force it was sold to, this person didn't even know.
This shows that several major families have united and sealed the news very tightly, and even the Yuan Infant Stage Monks in the outer family do not know.
In the end, the monk's eyes showed a look of pleading, but the matter was too big, and the slightest leakage of wind was afraid that even he would not be able to live out of this hole.
Therefore, he only had a thought in his heart, and forty-one gold-devouring insects instantly tore and bitten, and the king Lianhai did not even make a sound, and half of his body was devoured by the gold-devouring insects and died.
And although his eyes showed a ruthless look, his face was indifferent, cultivating the immortal realm, either you die or I live, and he has no ability to pity anyone's life at this time.
When he saw that the gold-devouring insect had devoured him cleanly, and there was not even a trace left, he ran the exercises, transformed into his appearance, and walked towards the monk surnamed Qu.
He thought as he walked, and now he could guess that this mine must have been discovered by the city lord first, because this was the mine under the jurisdiction of the city lord.
Then, the city lord definitely wanted to report this information to the Shifang Academy, but in an instant, he was controlled by several major families and forced to conceal this mine together with the major families.
Or directly join the major families and swallow this mine.
"Wang Daoyou, why did you go back again? I will go out after resting for tea, are you coming back to spy on me?"
When the monk surnamed Wang saw him return, he looked dissatisfied, and sat cross-legged on the ground and shouted.
The monk surnamed Qu is named Qu Zhili, and like Wang Lianhai, he is also a loose cultivator.
It's just that after the monk surnamed Qu learned about the preciousness of this object, he always kept his heart private, even if there was a corpse at the entrance of the mine as a warning, it was difficult for him to extinguish this heart.
Yi Heng naturally couldn't speak, threw the storage bag in front of him, and sat down, with the intention that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't leave.
This is in line with Wang Lianhai's character, so the monk surnamed Qu did not doubt it.
With a look of anger in his eyes, he picked up the storage bag, stood up, and roared: "Let's go, let's go, I don't know who will give you any benefits...... ”
Along the way, he kept cursing in a low voice, and he didn't even notice anything unusual when he passed the filled cave wall.
Yi Heng followed silently, naturally he also heard his constant cursing, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, but he immediately hid it and walked outside with him.
An hour later, as he went all the way up, the number of forks gradually increased, and he carefully memorized each fork and secretly estimated the distance.
After another half an hour, I felt that the mine tunnel was gradually spacious and gentle, and it was already able to float forward with mana, and the speed gradually increased.
After the tea, the stench of corpses entered his nostrils, and he knew that they were almost at the mouth of the cave.
Suppressing the frantic beating of his heart, the storage bag containing ten thousand taels of Cangyu Xuanjin Mine had been buried in the mine by him, so he naturally did not worry about being discovered by the ore hunters.
But this cultivation is not the Yuan Infant Stage after all, even if the aura emitted is very similar, but it cannot disguise the unique coercion of the Yuan Infant Stage.
At this time, I only hope that the monks outside are not familiar with Wang Lianhai.
As soon as the two of them crossed over more than a hundred stinking and rotten corpses, they ushered in several divine senses, and his heart froze slightly.
Among the four or five divine senses, there was one that made him feel particularly uncomfortable, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart, the master of this divine consciousness must be in the god transformation stage.
Those corpses must have been deliberately designed to scare the other monks, so after they were killed, they were not hidden, but placed here generously.
Today, if you are not careful, I am afraid that you will also be besieged by the five primordial babies and one god here.
If you can't get out of trouble quickly, you will also become a corpse, piled up in the pile of rotten corpses, which will be used as a warning to others.
"Ten days have passed, what is the luck of the two Daoists?" the two Yuanying Monks stood up and asked.
The monk surnamed Qu finally broke out with resentment in his heart at this time, although his face was not obvious, but his words were full of dissatisfaction with Wang Lianhai.
I just heard him say: "With this person, luck has naturally been very bad, and the key is that this person is still very lazy." ”
The eyes of all the monks immediately fell on Yi Heng, and his palms instantly sweated, but his face remained unchanged, and he replied: "Wang is trying his best every time, and he will definitely do his best next time." ”
The middle-aged man stood up, obviously very satisfied with his words, stretched out his hand, and laughed in a low voice:
"Hehe, Wang Daoyou's cultivation is a little weaker, but if he can mine hard, he should be rewarded, come, let me see how many there are?"
Although he spoke to the two of them, his eyes were fixed on the storage bag, and it was not until the monk surnamed Qu handed the storage bag to him with great dissatisfaction that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, this storage bag is far more important than the life and death of the two of them, Yi Heng naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and all the dry words in the purple mansion dispersed.
The middle-aged monk must be the monk of the Transformation Stage, although he is not very afraid, but exposing it too early at this time will not do any good for the final plan.
A mine-seeker poked out its scaly head from the sleeve of the middle-aged monk's coat, sniffed vigorously, turned its head over, squeaked at him twice, shook its head very spiritually, and retracted into its sleeve.
The middle-aged monk chuckled again, his eyes showed satisfaction, and said:
"It's good, it's exceeded expectations, haha, the next team should work so hard, okay, you go on, I'll come back in ten days. ”
After the middle-aged monk finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he appeared in the teleportation array, and after two breaths, with a flash of white light, he disappeared into the cave.
The two monks who were the first to greet just now showed envy on their faces, and at the same time walked towards the leftmost cave and disappeared into the cave.
Qu Zhili stepped forward, sat cross-legged with a few people, and no longer paid attention to him, obviously he couldn't sue just now, and he was very resentful.
Yi Heng didn't know what to do at this time, could it be that he had to wait here for ten days? He didn't know if he could leave at this time, so he tried to walk towards the teleportation array.
Those few people glanced at him and didn't speak, so he walked boldly into the teleportation array and threw eight high-grade spirit stones into the small hole of the teleportation array.
Qu Zhili spoke at this time, and his words were full of threats: "Wang Daoyou, I hope I can see you cultivate higher in ten days, otherwise don't blame me for swapping with others." ”
He didn't reply, his eyes narrowed, he looked towards Qu Zhili, then withdrew his eyes, pinched his fingers with both hands, and roared in a low voice: "Teleport." ”
The white light flickered, and he returned to the cave in the center of the gravel city, and he was greeted by the gray-clothed monk, "Wang Daoyou has worked hard, it's okay to come back and rest this time, but after ten days, remember to go in time." ”
Yi Heng didn't answer, nodded slightly, walked out of the teleportation array, and did not return to the mountain, but walked towards the bottom of the mountain.
When passing through the mountain gate, the recruiting area for mining monks was still overcrowded.
But naturally no one dared to stop him, he walked out of the mountain gate, and in a few moments, he disappeared into the crowd.
Now, he has ten days to analyze the matter clearly, and at the same time come up with a countermeasure, and if it is determined that it cannot be dealt with, it is not an exaggeration to inform the alliance of the matter.
With such a big event, the alliance will definitely not think that he is incompetent, and will be grateful to him for reporting the matter.
But in this way, he definitely gained much less.
If you can handle this matter yourself, the benefits you will get are absolutely beyond imagination, and maybe the Cangyu Xuanjing Mine can get a little bit of it.
It's just that it is very involved, and if you are not careful, you will be involved in the whirlpool, and it will be difficult to extricate yourself, and even your life will not be guaranteed.
Walking into the crowd, he used his mana slightly, and his facial features slowly changed, but for passers-by, this change was very subtle, and no one noticed it at all.
When he returned to the inn, he had already regained his original face, but instead of a Tsing Yi robe, he was wearing Wang Lianhai's brocade robe.
Gou Youwei saw that the Taoist clothes he had never changed were actually changed into brocade clothes, so he naturally couldn't guess what he had experienced in the past few days, but there was a slight surprise in his eyes.
He didn't explain, he grinned at Gou Youwei, stepped into the door of the room, and asked, "Gou Daoyou, how did you get it?"
Gou Youwei put away the color of surprise and turned it into a color of great joy, and said excitedly: "Great harvest, great harvest, haha." ”
Yi Heng was slightly startled, he didn't believe it, even among the mountain family, the Yuan Infant Stage Cultivator didn't know about it, could it be that he would hear about it?
Even if the Yuan Infant Monk is just a scattered cultivator who joins, he is naturally not a real core clan, but the Yuan Infant Monk is definitely an important combat force in this family.
"Oh? He asked, slightly confused.
"The deputy city lord of the Huang family, his descendants, since two years ago, the cultivation spirit stones and cultivation resources he received every month have doubled every year, and now, compared to two years ago, it has actually quadrupled. ”
Gou Youwei looked very shrewd, and said again: "Not only that, but the descendants of other important families are all like this, isn't this enough to explain the problem?"
"Even," Gou Youwei said with interest, "Even Pang Huang, the eldest son of the Pang family, five days later, in the largest restaurant in the city, he invited Taoist friends from all walks of life to participate in the banquet, as if to celebrate his victory over a beautiful woman Xiu Fang's heart." ”
Yi Heng smiled dumbly, naturally he didn't care about such things, nor was he interested, he automatically ignored them, and asked, "Does this mean that they have a problem?
"Naturally, this phenomenon is caused by the doubling of family income, and what made them double their income so much two years ago?"
"What is it?"
"Naturally, the ore is sold privately, and there may be more ore veins in the mine, which can dig up double the amount of ore, but these companies hide it and do not report it, and sell the mine privately to swallow the profits. ”
When Yi Heng heard his inference, he became interested, continued to follow his train of thought, and continued to ask:
"If there is such a doubling of ore, where will they sell it? There will definitely be a fluctuation in the price of ore in the market because of the increase in this mine, but now, the price of ore has not fluctuated?"
Gou Youwei's slowly instigated feather fan paused instantly, and said with a little confusion:
"This is what is strange to me, after investigation, not only the ore in this gravel sand city has not floated, but even in the surrounding cities, and even in the entire southwest continent, no matter how bright or dark, the price has not fluctuated, and it seems that there is no doubling of ore injected into the market at all, unless it is ....... ”
"Unless what?" Yi Heng's eyes flashed, and he thought of a possibility in his heart, and Gou Youwei slapped the feather fan towards his left hand, making a "snap" sound, and said in a deep voice: "Unless, they are sold to the Southeast Continent." ”
Yi Heng's heart froze, the Cangyu Xuanjing ore was probably really sold to the Southeast Continent, and immediately asked, "Couldn't this kind of ore be sold to the Southeast Continent?"
"Yes, but it must not be sold privately by a city, but by the alliance in charge of Luzhou Mansion, one is the issue of handing over spirit stones, and the other is the control of strategic resources. ”
Yi Heng immediately understood that this was like a game between several forces, and only when his own strength was above that of other forces could he sell strategic resources.
For example, this Cangyu Xuanjin Mine, only if the Luzhou Alliance itself has enough of it, will it sell a little appropriately, or in exchange for the resources it needs, and it will definitely not sell all of it, but will be controlled by others in the end.
"For example, the pill business I run, I almost don't care under the golden pill, you can sell it if you want to buy it, but if it involves a higher level, Yuan Infant, Transformation God, and Refining Void Period, you can either control it, or you are not allowed to sell it directly. ”
In this regard, Yi Heng naturally believed him very much, so he tried to reason: "Then it can be guessed now that this gravel sand city, from the Huang family of the City Lord's Mansion to several other important families, sold the excess ore to the Southeast Continent privately. ”
"If the guess is good, it should be so, now that the city lord has been withdrawn, several families must be extremely panicked, haha, everything will be known when the poisonous snake Taoist friends and Chen Shoutian Taoist friends come back. ”
Yi Hengshen thought so, but he didn't expect the two of them to be Viper and Chen Shoutian, and at most he could get the information that Cangyu Xuanjin Mine had doubled and privately traded, which was already good.
And he knew that behind doubling the private trading of Cangyu Xuanjing Mine, what he wanted to hide was to trade Cangyu Xuanjing Mine, which was the real huge profit.
It's no wonder that in this city, miners are constantly recruited every day, presumably to dig more Cangyu Xuanjing Mine to cover up the Cangyu Xuanjing Mine that is secretly mined.
The high-level of the alliance is afraid that they are aware of the private trading of Xuanjin ore in this city, so they withdraw the city lord, and if they can be the lord of a city, it must be a family that has a relationship with the high-level.
And forcing him here is obviously just to rectify the problem of the Xuanjin Mine, not the Xuanjing Mine.
If the top level of the alliance knew that it was the Xuanjing Mine, I am afraid that even if not all of the eleven ancestors came, at least more than half of them would come.
He was a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know if he wanted to report like a high-level at this time, and in this anxiety, the poisonous snake and Chen Shoutian also rushed back the next day.
It's just that the faces of the two are slightly pale, and at a glance, they know that they are fighting with people and are injured and come back.
"Senior Brother Chen, Fellow Viper Daoist, you two fight with others?"
Chen Shoutian also knew the character of poisonous snakes during this time, generally cherishing words like gold, it was difficult to speak more, he leaned back in the chair, his straight waist relaxed slightly, and said briefly:
"A few days ago, the investigation found that within the range of Yunshan Mountain, there was a hidden flow of Cangyu Xuanjin Mine in the cottages, and after finding out the approximate transaction volume and price, I returned the day before yesterday. ”
After listening to him, Gou Youwei turned his head and smiled at Yi Heng, the look seemed to say that he had completely guessed correctly.
Chen Shoutian lifted the tea, drank it all, glanced at the poisonous snake next to him that closed his eyes and breathed, and continued: "Yesterday, in a hidden place between the two continents, I saw both sides of the transaction. ”
Yi Heng was shocked, and didn't ask how the two of them could find out where the transaction was, thinking that the two of them must have spent a lot of thought, but they dared to directly face the two sides of the transaction monks?
"You two were found by them?"
Chen Shoutian seemed to have palpitations, his expression was afraid, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, there are only four people on both sides, all of them are Yuanying Monks, and after the two of us were discovered, we were naturally chased and killed all the way. ”
Although Yi Heng and Gou Youwei saw that the two of them came back safe and sound, their hearts couldn't help but tighten, they were chased and killed by four Yuan Infant Monks, how did these two escape?
Later, the poisonous snake Taoist friend was so powerful that he killed one person on the spot, and the remaining three people turned around and fled. ”
"No way. Gou Youwei instinctively shouted, and then lowered his voice and said, "No matter how powerful the Viper Daoist is, how capable is that Yuan Infant Monk? Is it fake?"
Chen Shoutian glanced at him with a slight look of contempt, he seemed to have long thought that Gou Youwei was only looking down on him for a day to earn spirit stones, and he didn't want to make progress, and he was so suspicious at this time, so he was naturally dissatisfied.
At that moment, Chen Shoutian saw that the poisonous snake did not refute, so he straightened his waist and shouted:
"Do you think that we don't even have this ability to distinguish, or do you doubt our strength?"
"No, that's not what I mean, I mean, even if the four Yuan Infant Monks can't beat you two, they won't be killed by one and then turn around and run away, right?"
Gou Youwei felt that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, even if he couldn't beat anything, it was obvious that he could definitely beat it.
Chen Shoutian's breath suddenly rose, and he snorted lowly: "Hmph, do you want to try it?"
