The northernmost Snow God Peak of the Jietian Mountains has been covered with ice and snow for many years, and the belly of the mountain is hollow, containing a number of black gold mines, which is the secret passed down by the old people of the Pingyuan faction. Ji Hongru, the head of the family, has been planning for a long time, but due to the harsh climate of Xueshen Peak, the black gold mine is hidden deep in the belly of the mountain, and it is difficult to mine due to the lack of effective means. By chance, Ji Hongru learned that Han Chisong, the head of the Xuantong faction, had three rock-eating insects in his hands that had been raised for a hundred years, and he moved his mind for a moment and proposed to exchange a good flying sword for a method of eating rock-eating insects and driving.

Rock-eating insects are shaped like earthworms, with huge sizes, sucker-like mouths full of sharp teeth, can spit putrid juice, devour rocks, and are the right-hand man of the fairy family in mining and digging. However, Han Chisong is also a shrewd master, although the flying sword is good, he cares more about Ji Hongru's purpose in exchange for eating rock insects, and he refuses to let go even if the other party keeps increasing his weight. The two flew swords and passed books back and forth for several months, and Ji Hongru had to reveal the truth, proposing that the two factions join forces to take the opportunity of this winter hunt to jointly dig the Wujin mine that connects Tianling, and the ore obtained is increased by 21 to 5, and half of each is taken.

The Pingyuan faction sent Qian Ju'an, and the Xuantong faction sent Cao Yu, both of whom were outstanding disciples of the sect and worthy of important tasks.

At the beginning of the winter hunt, Qian Ju'an and Cao Yu flew to the Snow God Peak with their swords, selected a location, and Cao Yu drove the rock-eating insects to dig a road leading to the belly of the mountain. The snow god peak is raging with wind and snow, the cold is biting, and the rocks are mixed with fine iron sand, and the progress is extremely slow. In order to exploit this batch of black gold mines, Cao Yu did not hesitate to use secret techniques to overdraft the life span of rock-eating insects, and it took nearly a year to finally open a road connecting the mountainside.

The corridor was opened, and the three rock-eating insects also ran out of oil, and they died.

Ugin is a kind of mutated iron ore, is the best material for casting flying swords, flying swords mixed with a few points of black gold, can greatly improve the quality of the sword, increase the speed of the sword's flight, for the sword cultivation lineage, the value of the black gold ore is incomparable, Qian Ju'an and Cao Yu can bring these black gold ore back to the sect, it is a great achievement.

It's just that the black gold ore is firmly embedded in the rock, and without the rock-eating insects, they can only chisel it down piece by piece with an iron pickaxe, which is time-consuming and laborious. Cao Yu drove the rock-eating insects to open up the Yongdao, which consumed too much vitality, and the work of digging ore could only fall on Qian Ju'an.

Wei Qiqi's appearance gave them another choice, he was low in seniority, in good health, and took the initiative to ask for help, and when the time came, he would give him a piece or two of ore, and it would be reasonable in front of Xi Huzi, the head of the immortal capital.

Wei Qiqi took the iron pickaxe, weighed the weight in his hand, saw the edge of the black gold mine, urged the gas of the earth, "woo-" The ground was smashed with a pickaxe, the iron pickaxe sank deep into the rock, and with a prie, the black gold mine rolled to the ground along with a large piece of rock.

Cao Yu was taken aback, covered his mouth and smiled: "What a lot of strength!"

Qian Ju'an nodded secretly, and instructed him to knock open the rock, peel out the black gold ore, and place it neatly in the corner according to the size.

Wei Qiqi did not hesitate to exert his strength, wielding an iron pickaxe and working hard, like a tireless puppet, chiseling down dozens of ores in one go, and it seemed that he still had spare strength.

Qian Ju'an couldn't help but ask, "Are you Wei Rongniang's apprentice?"

Wei Qiqi straightened up and said respectfully: "The disciple worships under Master Xun and cultivates the Xiaoyue Gong of the Cloud Tooth Sect, a kind of body refining exercise. ”

Qian Ju'an was slightly stunned, thinking about who was surnamed Xun under the Xiandu Gate, but Cao Yu remembered one person, and said: "His master is Xun Ye, the eldest disciple of the head of the Xiandu-", and added half a sentence in his heart, that is, the acting head of the Imperial Sword Pass who has been unable to break through the Imperial Sword Pass for a long time.

"Why didn't Xiandu pass on your "Taiyi Foundation Building Sutra"?"

"It's passed on, the disciple's qualifications are blunt, and there is no inch of progress, Master Xun said that Xiaoyue Gong is compatible with me, so it is better to change to refining the body. ”

Qian Ju'an snorted, despising the immortal capital, "Sword cultivation guides physical cultivation, but it's the first time to solve the problem! Don't you feel wronged?"

"There is no distinction between superior and inferior exercises, it is good to fit oneself, and it is a blessing for disciples to be able to worship under the Xiandu Gate, and they don't feel wronged. ”

"You can think about it--there is a providence in the dark, if you don't cultivate physique, you won't be able to help us today!" Qian Ju'an hesitated slightly, took out a Pacification Pill from his arms, and bent his fingers to flick it towards Wei Qiqi, "You just fell from above, and your internal organs were slightly injured, take this Pacification Pill and rest for a while, so as not to leave a dark injury." ”

Wei Qiqi thanked his uncle, swallowed the Pingfu Pill on his abdomen, walked to the side and sat cross-legged, pranayama and recuperation, and dissolved the power of the medicine.

Cao Yuqu pointed to the calculation of time and said: "The winter hunt is almost over, and in another twenty days, Jietianling will be flooded by demonic energy, so we have to hurry up." ”

Qian Ju'an said: "In another ten days, even if you can't finish mining, you must leave." ”

Cao Yu glanced at Wei Qiqi and said with a smile: "With the help of my nephew, it should be almost, but it is someone else's help, you who are an uncle, don't forget to treat one or two." ”

Qian Ju'an's eyes flashed, noncommittal.

Wei Qiqi rested for a while, picked up the iron pickaxe and continued to mine the black gold mine, he had already cultivated the Xiaoyue Gong to the "Four-fold Building", the vitality in the acupuncture was abundant, and the body was not a problem, but in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Qian and Cao, he still worked for an hour, pretending to be exhausted, and meditated and breathed for a long time.

In order to save time, Qian Ju'an gave him a bottle of Five Elements Rejuvenation Pill to help him recover his vitality.
