Chapter 135: Mining Secrets
"Senior Brother Xiang has never heard of this stone before, and it is normal. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis kind of red gold is a kind of hematite that is quite famous in ancient times. And the Xuanmagnetic Red Gold magic weapon refined with it is even more spiritual, in addition to having sharp and weird attacks, it can also weaken the power of other magic weapons close to it. It is said that in ancient times, a monk in the early stage of foundation building, with a family heirloom Xuanci red gold sword, actually repelled a monk in the middle of the Yudan, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. However, the value of Xuanci red gold can be seen from this. The fat monk groaned for a moment, and then spoke without thinking.
"Oh, even if it is an excellent refining material, how can it still exist here?" After listening to the fat monk's explanation, Xiang Qi touched his chin, and after a strange look appeared on his face, he asked.
"Senior brother doesn't know, although this Xuanqi red gold is extremely precious, it is difficult to be refined into a magic weapon. In ancient times, except for a very few refining masters, no one could refine it into a magic weapon, let alone today, when the level of refining was greatly reduced. This is one of the reasons. Speaking of this, the fat monk paused slightly, and glanced at Xiang Qi intentionally or unintentionally.
"Are there any other reasons?" asked Xiang Qi, who had a curious expression.
"That's nature, otherwise, this Xuanqi Red Gold wouldn't have stood here for thousands of years. Another reason for this is that the method of removing or mining this ore is quite special and tricky. In order to remove this ore, it is first necessary to find another piece of Magnetic Red Gold of this size. It is said that our Great Qi Kingdom, together with the Shen Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom, only has this piece of Xuanci red gold. Second, find a sufficient amount of magnetic gold water. Finding this magnetic gold water is even more difficult than climbing to the sky, for thousands of years, even in our Dongzhou Continent, there has never been a drop of magnetic gold water. Finally, the caster must have a strong enough divine mind. As for the size of the Divine Thought, it depends on the size of the Xuanqi Red Gold, and this piece of Xuanmagnetic Red Gold here, if you want to remove it, you should have no less than the Yuan Infant Stage Monk's Divine Thought. This is just my guess. However, thousands of years later, this piece of Xuanqi red gold still stands here, how difficult it is to remove it!" explained the fat monk word for word.
After hearing this, Xiang Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this method of removing Xuanci red gold is too harsh. However, it is not surprising that such an anti-heaven refining material, the conditions for using it are a hundred times harsh.
After Xiang Qi heard the words "Xuanci Red Gold", although the expression on his face was indifferent, his heart was already turbulent.
From its name, it can be known that there must be a great relationship between this "Xuanci Red Gold" and "Xuantian Iron Ore", perhaps, they are a class of materials, and "Xuanmagnetic Red Gold" is a kind of refining material that is superior to "Xuantian Iron Ore"!
If this is the case, Xiang Qi will not have to worry about the materials for refining the "Xuantie Sword". With such a huge Xuanci Red Gold Mine, it is more than enough to refine one hundred and eight flying swords, even if it is a thousand or ten thousand.
If he can really refine the "Xuanci Red Gold Sword", cultivate into a phantom sword duel, and put out a phantom sword array, presumably in this immortal cultivation realm, he will not become a top immortal cultivator, and it will not be a delusional thing.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Xiang Qi became, and naturally kept this matter in mind, if the opportunity was enough, maybe one day in the future, he would become the master of this Xuanci Red Gold.
Xiang Qi followed behind the fat monk and the blue-robed young man with a smug face, and gradually walked towards the hinterland of Xiaojiu Mountain.
"Bang, bang, bell!"
The sound of crackling and the impact of metal from time to time made Xiang Qi understand in his heart that it was not far from leaving the core area of the mine.
Sure enough, less than a cup of tea later, the three of them appeared in an open area of smoke and dust.
Through the dust flying in the sky, hundreds of shirtless black-faced men were waving the tools in their hands, knocking on the boulder in front of them.
They are the mortal miners who mine cockscomb.
Behind every dozen miners, there stood a young monk in gray robes, all of whom stared at the miners in front of them with solemn expressions. Holding a black leather whip several feet long, he flicked his wrist from time to time and swung out a whip!
They are the monks of the Phantom Sword Sect, and they are in charge of the overseers here to open the mines.
"This is where the cockscomb stone is mined. The fat monk glanced at Xiang Qi, pointed to the hundreds of miners in front of him and the rock wall that had long been riddled with holes, and said.
Xiang Qi looked at the hundreds of rickety figures who were bowing down to open the mine, and a trace of sadness flashed in his heart. Mortals can't earn a lot of money after a hard day's work, and besides, the smoke and dust here are extremely harmful to the body.
Xiang Qi also had some understanding of the miners before, and heard that they would contract pneumoconiosis after working in this industry for a few years, ranging from difficulty breathing and inability to do energetic work, or bedridden and coughing up blood and dying. Xiang Qi, who was deeply touched by the tragic scene in front of him, flashed a trace of pity in his eyes. I saw him nod and smile at the fat monk, and didn't say anything.
"Senior Brother Zhu, why do you let mortals do this matter of mining cockscomb stones? We are all people with mana, and it must not be a difficult thing to use mana to mine ore. Why do you have to do this, it not only pays a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but also prolongs the mining time. After a moment of silence, Xiang Qi, whose face was full of pity, pointed to the workers who opened the mine and asked.
"Senior Brother Xiang only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other! The mining of this cockscomb stone is very different from the mining of other ores. The mining of cockscomb is extremely complex and requires extreme care. Presumably, Senior Brother Xiang, you also know that this cockscomb stone is extremely brittle, as long as it collides slightly, it will shatter, and the chaotic energy stored in it will immediately dissipate in the diffuse. After the chaotic energy disappears, the cockscomb stone is no longer called the cockscomb stone, and it has become a worthless ordinary stone. And the immortal cultivator mining the ore, the brute force is too great, the cockscomb stone can't withstand such a great pressure at all, and before it is mined, the chaotic energy stored in the cockscomb stone has long disappeared. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to mine cockscomb stone with mana. ”
Hearing Xiang Qi's words, the fat monk laughed twice, only to see him put his hands behind his back and say this while pacing back and forth in front of Xiang Qi.
"I see! It's unimaginable how difficult it is to mine this cockscomb. Xiang Qi, who heard this, nodded frequently, as if suddenly, and said "oh" from time to time.
Next, the fat monk took the blue-robed young man and Xiang Qi around several other mining sites, and then got up and returned to Dengxian Pavilion.
