The reason why this unexpected discovery was made was of course thanks to Su Aotian's powerful divine sense.

At that time, he found this place all the way, just because there were no steep mountains in this place, which was easy to climb, but it was still far away, and he found that the aura here was rich and much more than the surroundings, which made him keenly aware that there must be something abnormal.

So he deliberately explored, and finally found this spirit stone vein deep underground, which is not very big, and it is buried quite deeply, but in any case, this is always a rare spirit stone vein, if it is spread out, it will inevitably attract crazy robberies!

For immortal cultivators, the spirit stone is the same as the food of the martial artists, no matter which immortal cultivator is not too little. Even the spirit clan has a natural advantage in absorbing spiritual energy, and they will not refuse to use spirit stones to improve their cultivation, not to mention, spirit stones are still a necessity for various transactions, which also means that it is a symbol of wealth!

And what made Su Aotian happy was that it was not because of the improvement of the spirit stone on cultivation, nor because it represented a huge amount of wealth, but because these spirit stones could make the immortal cultivators of Donghai City grow up quickly in a relatively short period of time, which was an out-and-out timely rain for the powerful spirit clan that fought against Gaizhu Mountain and the Sealed Demon Wasteland!

Therefore, he did not hide this discovery, but immediately told Lian Qiongyu and other immortal cultivators. This news was immediately treated as a high secret, and it was tightly sealed by the Terran and Water Tribes of Donghai City, and a strict ban was issued, and anyone who leaked it was executed. Immediately after that, they were engaged in intensive mining work.

Out of secrecy, and in order to open up a relatively secret road, at Su Aotian's suggestion, they dug a tunnel in the belly of the mountain, and dug deep into the ground from the middle of the tunnel to mine the spirit stone veins.

After investigation, the reserves of spirit stones contained in this vein are not rich, and they are mainly based on earth attributes, but the immortal cultivators in the spirit world can basically absorb all kinds of spiritual energy, so the attributes of spirit stones are not particularly important. The mined spirit stones, after the inventory, are registered and put into storage, and are kept by the departments designated by the high-level, and are regularly distributed to individuals, and those who have made contributions can get additional rewards. The principle of distribution is also based on the suggestions of Su Aotian and Lian Qiongyu, and the distribution is according to needs, and the faster the person who cultivates, the more spirit stones can be obtained. Under this principle, the cultivation enthusiasm of immortal cultivators can be brought into full play.

Although it is a small vein, and the grade is not enough, it is really a huge wealth for the current Donghai City, enough for these people, including the water tribe, to use it for a long, long time. After all, in the current East China Sea City, the proportion of high-level immortal cultivators is very low, and although the strength of the water tribe is much stronger, this kind of low-level spirit stone is of limited help to high-level immortal cultivators, and it is better than nothing, so it is still very abundant to supply low-level immortal cultivators to cultivate. Moreover, even if the grade of the spirit stone is not high, it is enough to support a low-level immortal cultivator to break through one or two realms, which is also very valuable.

It didn't take much time to penetrate the channel, and the spirit stone veins were quickly exhausted after being mined day and night, and Su Aotian and his party set foot on the road to the stone cottage again. Along the way, considering that the road was really long, Su Aotian decided to build some city fortresses in the middle of the way, using them as a base to gather the human race and form a strong fulcrum that echoed each other, and finally formed a solid chain that connected Donghai City and Shishanzhai.

After passing through Gaizhu Mountain, Su Aotian came to the edge of the Demon Sealing Wasteland. Again, he didn't intend to go straight through the Demon Wasteland, but rather to bypass the edge, so it didn't matter if he spent a little more distance on it.

After tens of thousands of miles away from Gaizhu Mountain, Su Aotian felt that the distance was almost the same, so he found a small hill and prepared to build the first fortress here.

He already has a lot of experience in building a city, and he is familiar with it. However, it is several times more difficult to defend a city than to build it, and the most important thing is to have sufficient manpower.

Therefore, after the fortress began to take shape, Su Aotian began to move around, looking for the human races scattered nearby, mobilizing and encouraging them to move to this fortress.

Although it is located on the edge of the Demon Sealing Wasteland, this place is still the territory of spirit beasts, and there are few people. That is to say, Su Aotian's divine sense is strong, and he can find some very well-concealed human races. Most of these people are martial artists who can't cultivate, and only a very few are half-cultivators, who generally hide in caves or crypts, easily and facelessly, and only when food is extremely scarce, they take the risk to go out, hunt and kill one or two spirit beasts and then hide, so they can't avoid hunting and not being able to hunt, but being harmed.

After bringing these people to the fortress, it was a place for them to settle down, and their lives had changed greatly compared to before, so they were very grateful to Su Aotian, and they were very dependent on this newly built fortress, and burst out with high enthusiasm to build and strengthen it. Su Aotian and the others were able to free up their hands and go farther away to find traces of the human race. When he encountered some powerful spirit beasts that were harming the human race, Su Aotian easily eliminated them.

On this day, he sensed the breath of a human race from a distance, and the situation of this person in his divine sense was very bad, and there were several spirit beasts around him, as if he was surrounded by spirit beasts. He immediately rushed to the place where the breath came from, ready to help.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at the scene, and the scene in front of him surprised him a lot, it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who was surrounded by four tiger-like leopard-like spirit beasts, agile and ferocious!

The child was not tall and very thin, apparently due to a chronic lack of food to satisfy his stomach. The dark and thin face was dirty and could not see clearly, but there was an angry and unyielding light in his eyes.

What surprised Su Aotian was not that he was just a thin child, but that this child was extremely fast in his actions, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it!

Compared with this child, these four-headed spirit beasts are completely behemoths, and they act like electricity, coming and going like the wind, such a swift offensive will even be left and right for the immortal cultivators of the third and fourth orders of the Human Yuan Realm to deal with, this child's current situation also looks quite embarrassing, but he can still support it tenaciously, and occasionally be able to free his hands to make some counterattacks!

He was holding a short sword in his hand, and the quality was a low-level magic weapon, although it was not a valuable treasure, it was still unusual to hold it in the hands of a child. He has a rare bit of the charm of an immortal cultivator between his hands, and he can barely have traces of aura operation, for a child, it is also commendable to be able to do this step, but these are not the focus of Su Aotian's attention, what surprised him is that this child copes with these four spirit beasts, not by relying on a little aura, but also by his own instinctive reaction!

His body may not be as agile as these spirit beasts, but he seems to have a talent that can predict danger in advance, and can often magically get out of the predicament of certain death and escape at the last moment. The four-headed spirit beast had already cornered him several times, but somehow, he was able to grasp the loophole in the desperate situation that seemed to have no flaws, and narrowly escaped the danger.

However, such an escape did not come without a price, and the child was already scarred. The main thing is that a deep fissure has appeared in his right leg, the muscles are turned out, and the blood is flowing, which seriously affects his movements, making his situation even worse, and it is already unsustainable.

Even so, the boy's eyes were not panicked, anxious, desperate and other emotions, but full of grief and indignation. His short sword also left wounds of different sizes on the body of the four-headed spirit beast, and looking at his appearance, he didn't plan to run away, he was ready to fight hard.

The reason why Su Aotian was surprised by this child's performance was that the moment he saw him, he suddenly had a sense of familiarity, from this child, he vaguely saw the shadow of his childhood self fighting with fierce beasts in the dense forest outside Zhenguan Village!

At that time, he was also so weak, facing the fierce beast, he could only rely on his agile and flexible body and divine sense to dodge, and hone himself little by little in this harsh test of life and death. The current child, the situation is so similar to himself, this magical talent for predicting danger, of course Su Aotian knows that it is because his soul is stronger than ordinary people, these aspects all shine with the vague figure of his former self, but from the perspective of the situation, this child is even worse than he has experienced, because today, if there is no one to help, he is already in a catastrophe!

Su Aotian sighed in his heart, and when the boy unyieldingly stabbed the short sword deep into the chest of a spirit beast, he didn't care that the other three spirit beasts were about to split his body, and the resentment and unwillingness in his eyes were not willing to give up until he was dying, so he took action to kill the three-headed spirit beast, leaving the boy staring blankly at everything in front of him, and for a while he couldn't tell whether he was dead or alive.

Su Aotian squatted down, met the boy's eyes, and asked, "Okay, it's okay." I'm an immortal cultivator, what's your name?"

Feeling the warm care, the boy gradually woke up from the dreamy unreal feeling, Su Aotian's deliberate soul soothing made his eyes moisten involuntarily, and he replied with a slight choked voice: "My name is Ye Fenghan." ”

Su Aotian asked again, "Are you the only one here, and what about your family?"

The little boy Ye Fenghan's tears couldn't stop flowing, his choking turned into sobs, and he said intermittently: "They are all dead, father, mother, and sister, they were all eaten by spirit beasts." ”
