Chapter 333: Fairy Ebony
"I'm coming, I'm the first to sign up. Ten spirit stones a day is a lot! I used to dig for months, but I didn't find ebony. ”
"And me! You're right, ebony is not easy to dig, and even if it is dug up, it is only a low-grade spiritual material, not enough money, unless you are lucky, you can only encounter high-level ebony. ”
In just a few moments, thirty people signed up.
Qin Di directly issued ten low-level spirit stones to each of them, and instructed these people to excavate.
From time to time, I heard the voices of these people talking a lot.
"I heard that the day before yesterday, Senior Brother Zhang dug up an eighth-order spirit wood, and after giving it to the sect, he not only got an amazing reward, but was also directly promoted to an inner disciple!"
"Senior Brother Zhang is lucky. It was an eighth-order spirit wood, and it was very rare. ”
"In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer good ebony. It is said that thirty years ago, someone dug up the fairy spirit wood and could make a first-order spirit treasure!
"Hey, what kind of fairy spirit wood, if you can dig up a fourth- or fifth-order spirit wood, it's good luck. ”
At the beginning, these people were just glad that they had found a good job earning spirit stones. Later, some people secretly laughed and lowered their voices to each other: "Where did you say this kid came from? Why did he spend a lot of spirit stones and hire people to dig in the mountains? Is he digging ebony or looking for treasure?"
"Hehe, God knows! I heard that some descendants of the fairy family, somewhere learned the three-legged cat's method of looking for qi, came to the mountain to hunt for treasure, who knew that it would be rocks and mud when they dug it out. Dig a few more times, and he'll know it's been in vain!"
"Don't say it, if you have a spirit stone, you are a good person! There are not many good people these days. ”
Qin Di didn't care what these people said, he sat next to him and slowly drank enlightenment tea, holding a book in his hand and reading it slowly.
He got hundreds of caves from Sansheng Island, and some of them had been opened, and he found a batch of golden books and jade books from them, all of which he moved into the library of Afang Palace, and left them to read slowly in his spare time.
Thirty people, digging for two days, only fifty zhang, many people while digging and shaking their heads: "There is nothing, there is sand and gravel underneath!"
"How can this place dig up ebony?
Some people kindly reminded: "Young man, you better forget it, hurry up and change places! Not here, you can't waste money like this!"
Qin Di smiled slightly: "There is a treasure down here, and the top-grade ebony is waiting for us." ”
The man glared: "If there is top-grade ebony, I will swallow it in one gulp!"
Qin Di smiled and said, "Don't! You swallow the ebony, even if I am willing, the Divine Arrow Gate is still unwilling!"
The man laughed and said: "I am the elder of the outer gate of the Divine Arrow Gate, I am Ning Guangxia, and I have been digging ebony for some years! Now I am responsible for supervising the excavation of this area, if you dig out the ebony, I will collect seventy percent of it." ”
Qin Di looked at the other party seriously, and found that it was a short and fat middle-aged man, like a businessman, who looked more amiable, so he said: "It turned out to be Elder Ning in person! After two days, dig out the best ebony, you have to let me pick the best one, and I will also make spirit arrows!"
According to the rules of our Divine Arrow Gate, the person who dug out the ebony will pick a piece of spiritual material by himself. You can take it away, or you can ask our refiner to help you make a spirit arrow, you just need to pay for some spirit materials. ”
"Oh, if you are asked to make arrows, how much spiritual material will you have to pay?"
"One of the two. If we make ten spirit arrows, we'll keep five. ”
Qin Di thought for a moment and said, "Half is not much, but I don't know what level of spirit arrow your sect can make?"
Ning Guangxia laughed: "No matter which level of ebony you dig out, you can make a spirit arrow of the same level." Our Divine Arrow Sect looks like it is only a medium sect, but it has a rich heritage and has been inherited for nearly a million years. Far above the Spirit Mountain, there is also a Divine Arrow Gate, but that is only a branch, and we are the birthplace of the Divine Arrow Gate here!"
Qin Di couldn't help but be taken aback: "It turned out to be like this! ”
Ning Guangxia smiled and explained, "There are many sects on Lingshan, some of them came down from the upper realm, and some of them came up step by step from the lower reaches of the Tongtian River. Our Divine Arrow Gate is the latter. In the final analysis, the local aura is getting thinner and thinner, so once you cultivate to the point of emptiness, you must leave here and go to the Spirit Mountain to practice. Because of this, although the main sect of our Divine Arrow Sect is here, the real masters are all in Lingshan. ”
Qin Di nodded: "I understand." ”
Ning Guangxia said again: "Although the master is gone, the inheritance is still there, and the best ebony arrows can only be produced here." ”
"So, the master on the Spirit Mountain still wants to take arrows from here?"
"Our Divine Arrow Gate also has a large refining hall in Lingshan, and we are developing and using other materials to make Lingbao Flying Arrows, but so far, the progress has not been very large. ”
"That's a shame. Qin Di remembered the immortal arrow he dug out, it was shining silver, and he didn't know what kind of metal material it was made of, anyway, it wasn't ebony.
Ning Guangxia saw that people were familiar with each other, and seemed to be very able to nag, and kept saying: "Our ancestor in Lingshan often writes to us to provide Lingbao Flying Arrows, but there are no spiritual materials, so we can only stare dryly. ”
"Of course, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. ”
"Our Divine Arrow Gate has a special set of inheritance, relying on bows and arrows, as long as there are good bows and arrows, practice arrows every day, and your skills can be improved. If there is no spirit arrow, the entry of power into the realm is also very slow. Because of this, whether it is Jindan Zhenren, Yuanying Zhenjun, or the ancestor of the Void Path, they all want a set of high-level flying arrows. ”
Qin Di said with a smile: "In this case, why don't you dig three feet into the ground and dig hundreds of miles around, won't you be able to find a good ebony?"
Ning Guangxia hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no." The sect has rules that it is not allowed to dig everywhere. Failure to do so may damage the root system of the golden silk nanmu on the mountain. This is also the foundation of our Divine Arrow Gate, and it will be completely finished if it is dug up. ”
Qin Di looked left and right, and said in his heart: "I was fortunate to find a vacant land, otherwise I would have been stopped by the other party." ”
Ning Guangxia asked: "I said, brother, why did you remember to come to the mountain to dig? It is said that after the golden silk nanmu falls, it will only roll down to the low ground, and then go down the water and sink to the bottom of the water. There's no ebony on the mountain!"
Qin Di smiled and said, "I have a kind of qi looking technique, seeing that the treasure light is soaring to the sky here, I will definitely be able to dig out good things." ”
"That's just good luck!"
Qin Di thought for a moment and asked, "Ask Elder Ning, your sect's arrows are made of ebony, so what about the bow? Where does a good bow come from?" When he said this, he couldn't help but think of the Sunset Bow, although the Sunset Bow he was holding in his hand was a sixth-order, it was only an imitation, the bow arm was made of the ribs of a fire dragon comparable to the Heavenly Immortal Rank, and the bowstring was made of the tendons of the seventeenth-order mastiff.
In recent years, the sunset bow has been continuously warmed, calcined by fairy fire, soaked in yin spring water, and has a faint tendency to upgrade to the seventh order, but the material of the bowstring is not enough, which is a short board.
Ning Guangxia replied: "The ebony material is too hard, and it is not a good material for making a bow. Two thousand miles to the west from here, there is a purple shirt forest, which is also the property of our Divine Arrow Gate. The Purple Shirt is both stiff and elastic, and the bow made from it also depends on the rank of the Purple Shirt. Now ordinary spirit trees are easy to find, but there are too few high-level fairy spirit trees. Fortunately, this sect still has a little stock, and it can barely be made into a first- or second-order Lingbao-level good bow. But it is also priceless, and only a few Supreme Elders can get it. ”
"Is there a bow made of keel?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that the dragon bones are used as bows on the Lingshan Mountain. But the keel is not easy to obtain. ”
Qin Di thought to himself: "It seems that the sunset bow I got should be from the Lingshan Divine Arrow Gate." That fallen Hedao True Monarch must have been a big man in the Divine Arrow Gate, otherwise he wouldn't have kept a sixth-order treasure bow and seven ebony arrows in the cave sky. ”
Ning Guangxia saw that he didn't listen to persuasion, so he didn't persuade anymore, and just sat not far away and watched, in case the excavation area was too large and damaged the roots of the nanmu trees on the nearby mountains.
The excavation is still in progress, and after five days of digging more than 100 zhang, there is still no shadow of ebony.
Qin Di scattered a lot of spirit stones, and these diggers had nothing to complain about, and they even wanted to dig as deep as possible, but in their hearts they regarded him as a fool, or an extremely stubborn loser.
Ten days later, the pit had been dug to 1890 zhang, and there were more and more onlookers around. Everyone was talking a lot.
"Hey, what's this for?"
"Dig ebony!"
"Can there be ebony in this place?"
"God knows, do you see that kid? It's the kid who pretends to be holding a book, and he's hired someone to dig it up!"
"Tsk, that's crazy!"
"Yes, after digging so deep, I haven't seen the shadow of ebony, and it's impossible to have it underneath!"
"Of course! We used to dig at most 30 zhang, how could we dig above 100 zhang? Not to mention that it was still on the hillside, not in the sunken riverbed!"
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, Ning Guangxia came over to bask in the sun on time, looked at Qin Di's eyes with pity, and thought, "Alas, this kid is crazy." He won't leave until he's spent all the spirit stones, right?"
There weren't so many onlookers around, but there were still no less than a hundred, and some people flew over from time to time to take a look, and then flew away again.
In the afternoon of this day, an exclamation finally came from the big pit: "Oh my God, I dug up the ebony!"
"Oh my God, this is a superb ebony! The tree is too thick, and now only a part of it is exposed, and it is already more than two feet!"
"Ahh
