Forty-nine days later, when the wild goose returned to the hall and Wei Wuxian's room, a small finch with a fiery red body and a pure fire spiritual power was happily flying left and right in front of him.

This little creature is very curious about everything around him, but he does not dare to fly too far, and every once in a while he must return to him for a short time before continuing to explore the unknown.

Wei Wuxian was also very happy, and named this little guy 'Bao', which has the meaning of attracting wealth and treasure, and also has the meaning of being loved as a baby pimple.

Ah Bao finally got tired of playing and returned to the spirit beast ring to rest, Wei Wuxian also began to continue refining the soul silk, the soul silk was much more difficult to refine than he imagined, and it took so long to condense a ball the size of a little finger.

However, its power is also very amazing, it is different from the Qi of Ruijin, it is formless and incorporeal outside, and it is difficult for the divine sense to detect them, but its tenacity is not weaker than the golden needles condensed by the Qi of Ruijin, and after such a small group is stimulated, it can form a ten-zhang wide net pocket.

And refining this bit of Soul Silk used up one-third of his Yin Soul Stone, and its value was much higher than the sharp gold qi mass condensed before.

Wei Wuxian planned to refine all the remaining Yin Soul Stones, and he had taken the time to go to Banfang City these days to buy a batch of 'Sanyang O Water', a material that could cleanse magic weapons that had been rusted by the Yin Evil Qi.

The remnant soul in the gray ring has an extraordinary origin, and the few magic weapons scattered on the side of the corpse will not be simple, he now has more than 100,000 first-grade yuan crystals on his body, and it is nothing to take out a few hundred to buy Sanyang O water to test the effect.

He was a little disappointed by the results of the cleanup, the rune arrays on the few scattered magic weapons had collapsed, and now the only use was to absorb the remaining sharp gold qi inside.

He took out all these remnants and some unused sword weapons to absorb the sharp gold qi inside, which made the sharp gold qi mass that was originally the size of an egg even more condensed.

It is said that when the Qi of Sharp Gold reaches a certain level, the strength of the monk can condense it into a liquid state, just like when the Qi Refining Period is transferred to the Foundation Building Period, and the Golden Needle or other forms of attack forms condensed by the Qi of Sharp Gold will have unimaginable power.

Cleaned up some unused inventory, only those blood blades left him untouched for the time being, this thing is very evil, maybe it will be used in some aspects in the future.

Another month passed, Beigong Haoyue came back, this time it seemed that he had gained something outside, and his spirit was very good, he called Wei Wuxian to the middle hall and asked about some things in his cultivation recently.

Finally, when Wei Wuxian was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "I heard that you used to mix in the lip realm for a while, why didn't you go later?"

Beigong Haoyue is very strange about this, most of the disciples of the sect are now fighting in the lip realm, the purpose is to hone themselves through the arena, and in addition to this, they can also get good returns. However, his little junior brother is said to have been very famous in the low-grade area of the lip realm, but now he has not entered it again and disappeared for a long time.

Wei Wuxian thought for a moment and said, "Senior brother, don't you think that every time you enter, your soul will be lost?"

Beigong Haoyue laughed and said, "What should I be, it turns out that you have some scruples about this." Yes, there is, but the loss is small, almost imperceptible, and it is almost negligible compared to the convenience and benefits you get in it, so you don't need to worry too much. ”

Wei Wuxian nodded, this question had been bothering him for a long time, the soul stone could communicate with other monks who were far away in the sky, and it could also enter the arena to confirm the magic with the heroes of the world, and the Yuan Crystal income brought by it could be said to have a strong attraction to the monks.

In the past, he might have tried to enter it again, but now there is no need for that.

Several killings made him gain a lot, and the number of first-grade Yuan Crystals alone reached more than 130,000, and the other pills were even more numerous, and the attraction of the Lip Realm to him was limited. In addition, it will consume the power of the divine soul, and no matter how small it is, it is also the power of its own origin, so of course it is not necessary to go.

Beigong Haoyue told him that he was going to retreat, and that he would open the ban on returning to Yan Peak, and if he wanted to go down the mountain, he had to hurry, otherwise he would have to wait until he came out.

With such a big move, needless to say, this is to hit the bottleneck of Jindan in the middle term.

Wei Wuxian knew that at this time, there would definitely be other high-level cultivators from the Tianshui Sect who would come to protect the Dharma on the side, and a small person like himself would not be able to play a role at all on the side.

Beigong Haoyue didn't know how long this retreat would last, whether it would be a month or a year, it was hard to say, so he decided to go down the mountain again.

In the Hall of Merit, he once again locked his eyes on the task of Xuanbang's 1,000 merit points.

He has now saved more than 2,000 merit points, and as long as he completes one more top-level task on the Xuan List, he can check the task of the Earth List.

The task of the land list is 10,000, and if you win a land list task, you can achieve the status of applying for the status of a true disciple.

While checking the Xuanbang mission, he secretly observed who was paying attention to him, and the guy who was hiding behind him would not let go of such an opportunity, and would definitely try to understand everything he was doing now.

Xuan Bang had five missions with a thousand merit points this time, and one of them piqued his interest.

There is a small black iron mine in the mountains of Nanban Qun, a thousand miles away from Tianshui Sect, which is one of several small mines in the periphery of Tianshui Sect, and usually arranges a disciple in the late stage of foundation building to supervise there, but this time it is time to take the turn, but the disciple of the late stage of foundation building who was originally arranged to take over suddenly has a feeling and is ready to try to break through the condensation golden pill, so he issued a task, and he needs a fellow disciple in the late stage of foundation building or three fellow disciples in the middle stage of foundation building to help carry out the task of guarding the mine for one year.

Wei Wuxian was attracted to the mine because it was located on top of a volcano, which was still an active volcano with a strong earth fire underneath.

According to the Flame Sparrow Cultivation Method, after the little Flame Sparrow hatches, it needs to have enough firepower to stimulate the power of the bloodline, so it just kills two birds with one stone.

As for the above indication that it is necessary to build the foundation in the middle stage or above, that is not a big problem.

Shen Lang was preparing for the condensation of the golden pill, seeing that the mines in the south were getting closer and closer to the rotation, and the average rank was not willing to run so far for a year for a few thousand merit points. There were a few monks in the middle stage of foundation building who took over the task, but he tried it himself, and finally vetoed them all, and the strength of those people was not enough to support the overall situation in the south.

"Senior brother, there is a fellow disciple in the early stage of foundation building who also wants to take over your task, can you consider it. ”

"In the early stage of foundation building...", he just wanted to say no, but after seeing the expression of his junior brother, he changed his tone and asked, "Do you know who it is?" If there is a senior brother Chen, it is not impossible to have such strength as you!"

Senior Brother Chen said: "It's a junior junior brother who just entered the sect last year, does Senior Brother still remember the Hundred Fruit Festival? He is in the limelight, and he has just advanced to the foundation building stage realm last month, and he has completed two tasks with the highest level of the Xuan List in a row!"

"Are you talking about the little junior brother who returned to the North Palace of Yanfeng?"

"It's him, it seems to be called Wei Hua!"

"Ask him to meet and take a look, although the Qi refining period is good, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be strong when you advance to the foundation building period. Shen Lang was still very cautious.

Early the next morning, in a certain courtyard outside the Hall of Merit, Wei Wuxian came here on time according to the request of the task publisher.

He understands the concerns of the task publisher, but he also needs to consider whether the other party has the strength to accept the task.

Shen Lang came earlier than him, and when he saw him, he felt that the person opposite might be stronger than he imagined.

"My name is Shen Lang, this is Chen Junwu, you are Wei Hua, Senior Brother Wei!"

Wei Hua saw that the person in front of him was gentle and elegant, and there was almost no trace of his qi all over his body, standing there like an ordinary person, only the look in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Hello, Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Chen, I'm Wei Hua, I don't know how Senior Brother is going to test. ”

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the junior brother has just come, take a rest first, and the two fellow disciples will come later." ”

Of course, Wei Wuxian had no opinion, knowing that it should be the other two people who took over the task.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for two Tianshui Sect monks in the middle stage of foundation building to walk in from outside, and they met Shen Lang first, and then greeted Wei Wuxian and Chen Junwu.

One of the two is named Jin Zhiyong, who is a disciple of Luoyun Peak in the Thirteen Peaks of Tianshui Sect. One is called Bai Liqi, who is a disciple of Songyang Peak.

Shen Lang said at this time: "The three of them have arrived, according to the agreement, I need to confirm whether the strength of the next few junior brothers can accept this task, and ask the junior disciples to be more considerate." ”

He said it very politely, which is also what it should mean.

Wei Wuxian saw him take out a set of array plates, and said while throwing them around: "A little trick, as long as the three junior disciples can break through the formation in one stick of incense, they will be considered qualified for this mission." With that, he lit a stick of incense and stuck it on the ground beside him.

"Three of you, I'm going to start here!"

"Please advise you. ”

Shen Lang smiled slightly, a magic trick was played, and immediately the wind was blowing, the black clouds were rolling over the courtyard, and the surrounding scenery began to turn, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and the three of them had lost each other's figures, and they were in a post-apocalyptic world where the sky was falling apart.

Everything in front of Wei Wuxian's eyes and in his divine sense was so real, as if it had been like this.

But it's just an image, and what is fake is fake after all, even if the middle is constantly transforming between the virtual and the real, with his divine consciousness comparable to the later stage of foundation building, it is naturally clear.

Outside the magic circle, Shen Lang asked with a smile: "Senior brother, who will come out first?"

Chen Junwu hesitated for a moment and said, "It won't be the Senior Brother Wei who returned to Yanfeng!"

Shen Lang was noncommittal, his eyes looked at the large array in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After half a pillar of incense, Wei Wuxian stepped out of the big array in one step, his body was spotless, and there was no fireworks at all.

Soon after, the other two also came out, but their clothes were a little messy, and it didn't seem to be easy to deal with.

They looked at Wei Wuxian, who was watching quietly, in amazement, and they didn't expect that the two of them would be one step slower than this newly advanced junior disciple in the early stage of foundation building.

"Yes, the strength of the three junior disciples should be enough to undertake this task, and I will explain the specific situation to a few of them slowly. As soon as Shen Lang's sleeve robe was rolled, a large number of cloth array weapons were all put into the storage bag in the sleeve, and his posture was extremely chic.

Wei Wuxian was not very surprised by this, the previous arrangement of the formation was really powerful, and he was able to arrange a formation that could block his own half-pillar of incense in an instant, which showed that his attainments in the talisman array were extremely deep.

When the group came to the platform, the wine and food that the boy had prepared were all spiritual food, and even Wei Wuxian was embarrassed.

The pomp and circumstance of the monks in the late stage of foundation building is really not comparable to that of ordinary monks in the foundation building period, and this time it will cost hundreds of low-grade Yuan Crystals!

Next, Shen Lang began to describe the situation of the southern mine.

It turned out that there was also a Xiuxian family attached to the Tianshui Sect over there, and the affairs on the mine were basically taken care of by them, and the Tianshui Sect only arranged for people to sit in the town and accept the excavated black iron ore and other affiliated mines.

No matter what kind of mining land, there will always be some other materials mixed in, such as copper, gold and silver.

The immortal cultivation family is the Murong clan, and the patriarch also has a cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, and there are more than ten other clansmen in the foundation building period, which can be said to be the largest immortal cultivation force in the local area.

Therefore, there is basically nothing to do over there, as long as you stay for a year and wait for the other Tianshui Sect disciples on duty in the coming year.

Sects like this usually arrange monks in the late stage of foundation building to take turns, and this time Shen Lang also had to release the task as a last resort, asking other fellow sects to help. Theoretically, the sect still believes that Shen Lang is the person who presides, and he needs to be responsible in case something happens.

This is the main reason why he constantly tests his fellow disciples who receive tasks.

————————

Three days later, Wei Wuxian and the other two began their journey to the south.

Thousands of miles away, it took the group another three days to reach the destination Nanqiao mine.

Prior to this, the Murong family over there had received a message from Shen Lang here, and they greeted the three of them when they were twenty miles away from the mine.

The patriarch of the Murong family came forward in person, and also brought a son, a daughter and three elders, which can be said to have given Wei Wuxian enough face for the three of them.

The patriarch's name is Murong Yanbo, with a majestic and tall figure, a loud voice, a white beard and a brocade robe, and quite majestic.

's son Murong Shanjun is quite similar to his father Murong Yanbo, a talent.

Daughter Murong Shanshui is as beautiful as Jiao'e, and she has been on the side without speaking, but she is the most attention-grabbing.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and Wei Wuxian is of course no exception, and the beautiful scenery can't help but take a few more looks. But that's all, with his identity as the seventh son of the Northern Yan King, there is no kind of stunning beauty in the house, he is now bent on seeking the Tao, and he is not keen on this.

The monks of the late stage of Tianshui Sect's foundation building who are now on duty in the Nanqiao Mine are disciples of Luoshui Sect, and after they came to the mine, they specially explained a few words to Jin Zhiyong who came over to hand over Jin Zhiyong, Jin Zhiyong is also a disciple of Luoshui Sect, and the relationship between the two must be extremely close.

The next day, the monk in the late stage of foundation building set off to leave the Nanqiao mining area, and then Wei Wuxian and the three of them were in charge of supervision, and the three of them discussed it together and decided to take turns on duty, which was exactly what Wei Wuxian wanted.

However, a few days ago, the three of them still explored the mining area accompanied by Murong Shanjun, there are now more than 1,000 miners in this mining area, and they can produce about 100,000 catties of raw ore every day, and these raw ores will be smelted into crude iron in the nearby ironworks, and 100,000 catties can produce about 20,000 catties of crude iron, and if they are to be processed into refined iron, they must be transported to other places.

Once you are familiar with the whole process, there is nothing else to do, and when you are on duty, you will look around, and then look at the account books sent by the Murong family, this is basically their main job here.

The miners were all recruited from nearby, but the Murong family was more kind to these hardships, and the money that should be given was never in arrears, which was already good for the miners who sold their labor for food and clothing.

Wei Wuxian had been thinking about the crater at the top of the mountain, and when he was free, he came to it alone, this crater was very large, and there were constantly gray-white smoke gushing out of it, and the smell of sulfur could be smelled from afar, and there were many hot spring waters of different sizes on the side, bubbling and looking very scary.

"Bao, come out!"

The little flame sparrow Ah Bao squeaked and flew out of his spirit beast ring, first circled around the top of his head a few times, and then flew excitedly towards the bottom of the crater.

"This guy..."

He shook his head, ignoring it, for the crater was a warm harbor to others, as it was extremely poisonous and hot.

The power of the flame sparrow to stimulate the blood force cannot be used by external force, and it is all tempered and formed by itself in the fire, which takes a long time, at least two or three months, and at most a year and a half.

Therefore, there was no need for Wei Wuxian to wait on it, and he went directly down to the top of the mountain and headed towards the camp.

When I passed by a hot spring area, I heard a laugh like a silver bell.

He walked to the edge of the rock and looked the other side, his face immediately flushed, and in a hot spring not far away, two naked women were bathing. One of them was the daughter of Murong Yanbo who I saw last time, the extremely beautiful Murong Shanshui.

He secretly said how these two girls were so bold, they actually bathed on it in broad daylight, and they were not afraid of being peeped at.

In fact, his idea was completely redundant, the mountains and roads here were dangerous, coupled with the strong sulfur and fire poison, which made people retreat, and ordinary people would neither have the ability to go to it, nor would they risk poisoning.

He just said a few words in his heart, and then continued down, he didn't have the habit of peeping at women taking baths.

But just as he turned around and walked down, he heard two women's exclamations from the other side, and he immediately stopped and swept away his senses.

I saw that there was a young man in Taoist clothes on the edge of the pool, who was looking at the two girls hiding below and not daring to come out with an obscene face.

"It's really fragrant, I didn't expect to meet such a beautiful woman in this broken place, it seems that it's really Taoist and my luck has come!" The young man looked at the second girl below without a trace of scruples, and very obscenely put the clothes that the two of them placed on the edge of the pool under his nose and sniffed deeply, showing a very lewd appearance on his face.

Murong Shanshui was now untouched, and looked at the young Taoist priest opposite with shame, if his eyes could kill, he would have been killed thousands of times.
