Chapter 13: The Great Pit

When everyone saw this female disciple coming, they all automatically got out of the way, and some even showed admiration.

"It's Lin Xueqiao, one of the five masters of our refining weapon peak. ”

"Why did she come, I remember that the phoenix tail sword she refined a year ago was already listed in the seventy-second place on the sword list, and she was also proficient in refining jewelry magic weapons, look at the pair of gold and jade exquisite earrings she wore on her ears, it is said to be an extremely powerful self-defense magic weapon, ranking eighty-first on the weapon list. Could it be that she has refined other magic swords?"

Obviously, this beautiful female disciple is very famous in the Refining Instrument Peak, and it is not the first time that Xu You has heard the name of the five masters of the outer gate of the Refining Instrument Peak.

These five masters of the outer gate, the outer doors of the entire Hanjian Sect and the outer gates of each peak have similar rankings, and they are naturally the five people with the strongest cultivation or skills among the entire outer sect disciples.

Xu You has heard the names of the five masters of the outer gate of the refining peak, but this is the first time that the real person has seen it, and it is said that Lin Xueqiao is the only woman among the five masters of the outer gate of the refining peak. This is also normal, after all, the ratio of men and women in the entire refining peak is the most disparity, and there are few female refiners, basically only one female disciple among the five disciples.

"Senior Sister Xue Qiao, you're here!" At this time, the inner disciple in black who had been guarding the door saw Lin Xue Qiao and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Senior Brother Lu!" Lin Xueqiao frowned slightly when she saw the black clothes, but she also said hello.

"This time I made a special trip to wait for you, I heard that you went to the Falling Star Mountain to collect all kinds of meteorite iron, refined materials, and finally forged a sword with the ancient forging diagram, in my opinion, this time you will definitely be able to enter the top 100, and you can even surpass your last phoenix tail sword, and then the two swords will be on the list, and your promotion to the inner door will be just around the corner. The inner disciple surnamed Lu said very attentively.

"Then borrow the auspicious words of Senior Brother Lu. Lin Xueqiao was not enthusiastic, but she was not cold either, and she could see that the inner disciple was thinking about her, and she just kept an appropriate distance.

At this time, the door of the Sword Pavilion finally opened, and then an old man walked out.

This old man was nine feet tall, and although his hair was flowing like snow and silver frost, his physical body was extremely strong, and he did not look old, even stronger than some young disciples.

In addition, this old man had a strong aura around him, and his eyes were like electricity, and even the inner disciple surnamed Lu did not dare to look at him.

"I've seen Elder Zheng!"

When the inner disciple surnamed Lu saw the old man, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but the old man just glanced at him, nodded slightly, and then said, "Can someone send a sword into the pavilion today?"

Every day, this Elder Zheng would come out and ask the same thing, if someone wanted to compete for the sword list, he would hand over the forged magic sword to him, and he would go back to taste it with several elders of the Sword Pavilion.

If you can make it to the top 100, there will be a special elder who will cast a spell to change the sword list.

But to be honest, although the works that can be included in the list are only the works of the disciples of the Refining Weapon Peak, whether they are the works of the disciples or not, they are all rare to find.

To put it simply, from the day the four major lists of the refining peak were established, including the sword list, there were few major changes in the rankings above.

Especially the top 10 has not changed for a while.

Not to mention the top ten, even within the top fifty, there are few changes, and the magic weapons refined ten years, twenty years, and thirty years ago have rarely been surpassed by now.

It's not about time, it's about the person who refines it.

Even if it is within the top 100, it is not replaced every day, and sometimes the magic sword that enters the cabinet for several days in a row may not be rated as the top 100.

However, Elder Zheng was quite surprised to see Lin Xueqiao today. This Lin Xueqiao is also considered an elite among the disciples of the outer sect, and is rated as one of the five masters of the outer sect of the refining peak, although it is only the fifth, but as a female refiner, it is already commendable. In particular, Lin Xueqiao's phoenix tail sword ranked seventy-two in the top 100 of the sword list, which is already rare for an outer disciple, you must know that more than seventy percent of the sword list is in the hands of the inner disciple.

If it was a magic sword refined by someone else, Elder Zheng really didn't think it could be on the list, but Lin Xueqiao was different.

At this time, many outer disciples began to step forward and send their respective refining magic swords to Elder Zheng, and each of them had their own unique marks and spirit seals on the magic weapons, so it was impossible to make a mistake.

Lin Xueqiao handed over the magic sword she had refined and respectfully retreated, while Xu You over there also followed a few disciples and sent his seven-star magic sword to Elder Zheng.

"Is there anything else?" Elder Zheng glanced at everyone, and when he saw that no one stepped forward again, he said: "It takes half a day to evaluate the magic sword, you should disperse first, after the assessment, the magic sword will be sent back to you with a secret method, of course, you can also hand it over to the sect in exchange for a certain amount of sect contribution points, or sell it to other fellow sects." ”

After Elder Zheng finished speaking, with a flick of his hand, the dozen or so magic swords all flew up and were involved in the Sword Pavilion.

Seeing such a method, many outer disciples were envious and hurriedly retreated.

"Xue Qiao, I went out a few days ago, and I occasionally got a pot of spirit wine immortal brew, I can't enjoy it exclusively, so I brought it back to share it with you, it is said that this spirit wine fairy brew was brewed by a senior master a hundred years ago, and there are very few surviving people, drinking it can enhance your strength and improve your cultivation, it just so happens that the peach blossoms in the back mountain have bloomed, and today it is so beautiful and beautiful, it is better to ......" Before the disciple surnamed Lu finished speaking, Lin Xueqiao interrupted: "Senior Brother Lu, I will go to practice in a while, and I don't drink." ”

After saying that, he bowed slightly, then turned around and left.

The outer disciples who had not left around were all applauded in their hearts when they saw this, and it was also the inner disciple surnamed Lu who had a very large shelf, and it was particularly dragged, and many outer disciples were not used to seeing it, and they were naturally relieved to see him deflated.

Xu You also smiled secretly, he went down the Sword Pavilion Mountain, and he actually met that Jiao Da halfway, which made Xu You subconsciously touch the seven-star sword behind him.

As a result, it was naturally empty, the seven-star magic sword is now in the Sword Pavilion, and it will take more than half a day to send it back, that is to say, in this half a day, Xu You is defenseless, except for the garbage iron sword issued by the sect when he entered.

This made Xu You's heart startled.

He realized a very serious matter, if he didn't have a magic weapon by his side, and he encountered a strong enemy, what should he do? Without a magic sword, Xu You was definitely not that Jiao Da's opponent. Fortunately, Xu You glanced at Jiao Da, and the other party also found that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at it directly, so he took a detour, obviously it was yesterday's incident that completely calmed Jiao Da. This made Xu You breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, Xu You also realized that it would definitely not be possible for him to rely on only one magic weapon to support the scene.

It's like now, without a magic sword in hand, if you really encounter trouble, you will be blind.

"It seems that you need to refine a few magic weapons on your body, this kind of thing, there are only benefits and no harm, and you may use it when you can use it. Xu You made up his mind in his heart, and did not go back to the house, but walked directly on the mountain road and went around to the mountain behind the Refining Peak.

Behind the Refining Peak was a small hill, and if it was ten miles deeper, a huge pit would appear.

Legend has it that this pit has been dug for more than a thousand years, and it is bottomless, and more than eighty percent of the refining materials of the Hanjian Gate are produced here.

The most are refined iron and dark iron, and there are many other rare mineral crystals, the refined iron and spirit crystals used by Xu You to refine the Seven Star Sword were dug from here before, and as for the steel jade, it was refined by Xu You himself. Since you want to refine a new magic weapon, of course, you have to get enough materials.

For this matter, the refining peak is quite 'stingy' for the disciples, if you want materials, you can, you can exchange the contribution points of the sect, but now what Xu You lacks the most is the contribution points of the sect.

Can't afford it?

Then you can only go to the pit to dig by yourself, so there are many miscellaneous servants and outer disciples who have been mining in the pit for many years in order to earn contribution points to the sect, and this kind of disciple is also called 'miner'.

Because he has been here once, Xu You is familiar with the road this time, and he has a mine hoe in his waist, and these things are indispensable for mining. From a distance, the pit was a huge pothole, and from under the pit, there was a lot of black smoke coming out, and Xu You knew that it was the smoke from hundreds of smelting furnaces distributed under the mine.

After all, at the beginning, it was ordinary ore that was dug out, especially the impurities of the poor grade were more, and in the ten catties of ore, the real mineral quality was only one to two percent, if these raw ores were dug out, I didn't know how much time it would take to carry them a day, so the sect placed hundreds of smelting furnaces below, and there were ores directly into the refining, so it saved a lot of things.

Of course, there are also some high-quality and even top-grade ores, but it is a pity that these ores are in deeper places, and it is almost impossible for miscellaneous disciples and outer disciples to go down to that kind of place, unless they are inner disciples.

After all, there are other threats in the mines, such as poison gas, such as dangerous terrain, and most dangerously, all kinds of monsters.

The place where Xu You went belonged to the safe area of the mine, although he would not dig out anything good, but at least it was safe, and Xu You did not plan to go deep into the mine, he was very self-aware.

Generally, it takes at least two days to go down the pit, and it is said that some miscellaneous disciples and outer disciples have to stay for seven or eight days or even longer every time they go down to the pit.

After all, the longer it takes, the more you gain.

Along the way, from the mouth of the pit to find the ramp down, a few zhang away, you can see the disciples of the refining peak around them are working hard to mine ore, and their ears are full of jingling mining sounds.

Xu You didn't stay long in this crowded place, most of this place was treated by miscellaneous disciples, not to mention the number of people, the most important thing was that he couldn't dig up any good things.

If you want to get something, you have to keep going.

Don't look at Xu You has only been here for more than a month, and the pit has only been in the pit once, and he has only stayed for three or four days, but he is lucky, he actually found a remote place with few people, at least the harvest is greater than other places.

So Xu You walked directly to that place.

If the pit is layered, there are at least more than 100 floors, and what you need to go to is the lower fifteen floors, in fact, it is relatively safe within 30 floors.

Bypassing a deep pit, and carefully leaning against the rock wall and walking over a bottomless cliff, Xu You finally arrived at that place.

Sure enough, there were a lot fewer people, and there were only three or five people in a large area.

Xu You found a place where there was no one, put down the package he was carrying, and then started drying, picked up the mine hoe, and dug it up with a clang.
