Chapter 348: The Wind Rises
Han Yu hurried for a day and a night, and finally arrived at a hilly mine, but he did not enter directly, and was quietly dormant.
It was a very time-consuming thing to absorb all the spiritual power in a spirit mine, and it would take at least a few years for Shi Ling to absorb it, but he didn't have that time.
After thinking for a moment, a silver light flashed on Han Yu's body, and the person suddenly disappeared. After a few moments, in the deepest veins of the earth, a brocade-robed man appeared out of thin air.
Han Yu found a remote place to meditate cross-legged, and Shi Ling turned into a silver light to probe the reserves in this vein. An hour later, Han Yu opened his eyes again, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The veins of the hills are much richer than the veins of the Dream Demon Cliff, as long as this mine slave continues to dig down for a year and a half, he can find some very good medium-grade raw ore.
But there were also no Qi refining period disciples in this vein on duty again, which also brought Han Yu a lot of opportunities to take advantage of.
After sunset, the miners in the upper caverns also called it a day and walked to the surface.
"Lutou, the receipt is good today, let's add some food today!"
"Yes, we lack a lot of oil and water in our stomachs."
“”
"Okay, let's add an extra steamed bun to each person today. Although our harvest today is good, we must also plan for the future. The burly man at the head looked at the pair of eager eyes behind him, and thought for a moment before speaking, and the subordinates who followed him couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers.
Han Yu, who was silently monitoring with Shi Ling, sighed softly when he saw this scene.
Han Yu asked Shi Ling to follow these miners to the basement floor, where several disciples in the Qi refining period were holding some steamed buns, clear water and other basic support materials in exchange for the rough stones in the hands of the miners.
The ratio of this exchange is really black, and a low-grade raw ore can only be exchanged for five steamed buns and some water, which can only barely guarantee survival.
The miners dragged their heavy footsteps back to the surface with steamed buns and clear water, and the raw ore of the Qi refining monks was put away and sent to a warehouse.
Han Yu waited patiently until late at night, making sure that there was no one in this vein. According to the direction of these mines, Han Yu began to absorb the aura here at a distance of dozens of zhang.
His idea was simple, to drain the spiritual power of that area, creating the illusion that the mining area here had been depleted.
He didn't know if such an approach would work, so he could only say that he tried his best.
Control the stone spirits to drill into it, absorbing the spiritual power in the original stone, making them become stubborn stones. Seven hours had passed, and Han Yu had created a six- or seven-zhang isolation area at the end of those mines, but he was still not satisfied. At this time, those mortal miners had already gone down the mine, and they could only stop what they were doing.
The day was very peaceful, and he casually found a dry stone cave to silently refine the red flying sword. In the mine, he can see all kinds of fights all the time, but he is too lazy to care, as long as it does not affect his cultivation.
In the evening, the miners left again, and Han Yu let Shi Ling continue to work.
The night passed quickly, and Han Yu also absorbed all the rough stones in the seven extensions. He didn't plan to stay here any longer, and the silver light flashed back to the surface.
When it was dawn, Han Yu flew towards the mining area, and before he could get close, two rays of light from a stone house flew towards this side.
The task was completed, and Han Yu didn't have time to spend more time here, so he directly took out the token, and coldly explained the task assigned by the Elders, and asked the two of them to be on guard carefully, open the protective array, and then flee directly.
This made the two mid-foundation monks stationed here a little confused.
After the two of them fled back to the stone hall, a yellow-faced monk wearing a Taoist robe frowned, and sent his henchmen to fetch the formation flag and jade plate of the giant stone yellow sand formation, and flew into an attic.
In the attic, a man with a grim face was sitting on a Taishi chair, leisurely closing his eyes to recuperate, and next to him stood a man in a green robe, who looked like he was thirty-seven years old.
"What just happened?" the grimacing man asked without opening his eyes, but slowly.
"Young Master Qiqi, Xilan City has sent a messenger to let us be careful against the sneak attack of the Exorcist Alliance. In addition, let's turn on the protection array, it seems that the situation is a bit bad. The yellow-faced monk hesitated for a moment, then replied respectfully.
"Sneak attack? It's really a joke, and even if you have the courage to exorcise the ten sects, you don't dare to send a monk here. Hmph, Zhao Ziye's guy is really a straw bag, and such an important task can go wrong, which is really getting more and more useless. By the way, who is it when you first came to report the news, and can you know each other?" the grim man mocked twice, and then asked as if he remembered something.
"The person who came is called Lu Bing, and I don't know the origin, but he mentioned Peng and Hu from the Hundred Medicine Garden, and they are also holding tokens of the Council of Elders, so there should be no problem in terms of identity. The green-robed man whispered.
"Lu Bing? I remembered, this guy seems to be a disciple of Old Monster Lu. When the grim man heard the name, his heart was relieved.
"But this man's appearance seems to be in a hurry, and I asked him to come here for a short rest, but this person refused. The green-robed man said another detail.
"He's going to inform all the mines and medicine gardens in the land of the Four Sects, so he's going to have to hurry. By the way, you must help me prepare the things I want within half a year, and there must be no mistakes. I'll go to Xilan City tomorrow to see how deflated that guy Zhao Ziye looks. You can open the big array after you arrange it, and our Blood Demon Pavilion can't make mistakes. You two eyes shine on me, and if something goes wrong here, I'll skin you. The grim man's face was expressionless, but there was an endless chill in the words that came out of his mouth.
"Yes, young master!"
"Obey!" the two hurriedly surrendered their hands when they heard this, and then left cautiously and began to go down to arrange the big array.
When the gloomy man saw the two of them leave the attic, he stood up and looked outside, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Three days later, in a hidden medicine garden near Tianmen City, a brocade-robed monk came to visit, and quietly left after the night.
Half a month later, in the production area of a Zhongpinling mine near Lu County, a man in a brocade robe sat silently in the ground and meditated. Five days later, when I went to the mine, a few cold words quietly disappeared.
After another three days, in the Yongchang Mansion of Lu County, when a monk from the Blood Killing Sect was going to do something, the person disappeared silently, as if he had suddenly evaporated in the world.
Two months later, two more monks from the early stage of foundation building disappeared near a wasteland near Kaiyuan Castle, a hundred kilometers away. This happened silently like last time, and no one noticed.
Qincheng is a large city located at the junction of the central and western regions, and is only the territory of the Blood Yang Sect next to the Demon Dao. This place was originally the front camp of the four sects to defend against the demon path, but with the fall of the four sects, this place has also become a fortress behind the demon path.
Qin City is slightly different from all the cities of the Four Sects, the products here are very rich, and the Demon Dao has placed several large medicine garden production areas here. A few years ago, there were still remnants of the four sects who came to wreak havoc, but with the iron-blooded strangulation of the Demon Dao, the place gradually returned to tranquility.
But even so, there are still a few monks stationed here to prevent accidents.
In the Nantian Mountain Range fifty miles away from Qincheng, there is a medicine garden covering an area of dozens of acres, which is planted with some elixirs that are more than two hundred years old, which are of great value. The Demon Dao also arranged a strong man in the middle stage of the Yudan to sit here, so that some people with bad intentions did not dare to act rashly.
But on this day, two figures flew out of the medicine garden of the Nanshan Mountain Range, swept over an uninhabited mountain at the edge of the mountain range, and turned into two rays of light and disappeared. Not long after the two of them disappeared, a silver light suddenly flashed on the top of the mountain, and then a man in a brocade robe next to him appeared on a boulder, looking at the two departing figures, stroking his chin with one hand, and his eyes showed a contemplative look.
It is Han Yu who has come from afar!
