Boom, the caverns of the Fire Raven Hills, the boulders blocking the passage were pushed away.

A white-shirted figure flashed out and appeared on the hill.

Ye Chen looked around and was surprised to see that the second layer of Earth Flame Mountain had changed. The entire second floor of Earth Flame Mountain is full of large and small mining caves, and all the disciples in the Qi refining period are busy, urging the miners to mine. The excavated igneous stone mines are transported by the miners, just like ants carrying stone mines, which can be seen everywhere.

However, he noticed that there were no monks or miners moving for miles around the Raven Hills. After thinking about it for a while, he probably told him before, and all the Qi Refining Stage disciples avoided this place.

Ye Chen left the Fire Raven Hill and prepared to leave the second floor of the Earth Flame Mountain, and went to the first floor to take a look.

On the way out, he met a Qi Refining Stage disciple who was dressed in brown and had an ugly appearance, urging dozens of mine slaves to carry ore.

When the brown-clothed disciple saw Ye Chen appear, he showed surprise and joy, and hurriedly saluted, "Uncle Ye, you are out of the customs!" Disciple Li Xuan, congratulations to Senior Uncle Ye on his great cultivation and the formation of a golden pill is just around the corner!"

"Hmm. ”

Ye Chen glanced at the ugly-looking brown-clothed monk, his face was raw, and he didn't know him. This is not surprising, there are as many as one hundred and twenty thousand disciples in the three generations of Qi refining stage of the Heavenly Void Sect, and there are not many monks he knows.

"Uncle Ye has just come out of the customs, I don't know if there is anything that needs the service of a disciple!!"

Li Qian smiled flatteringly and followed closely behind. He knew that there were many things that the uncles were unwilling to do, and they needed three generations of disciples to do it, and the second generation of uncles was also generous.

Ye Chen walked towards the first floor of Earth Flame Mountain, originally not wanting to deal with it. But after thinking about it for a while, he had been in retreat for more than half a year, and he didn't know much about the current situation in Earth Flame Mountain, so he just asked someone about the situation.

"Follow me!"

As Ye Chen walked, he asked about the recent situation of Earth Flame Mountain.

Soon, Ye Chen learned some of the latest things from Li Li.

Because the spiritual land of the Earth Flame Mountain was very large, the Jindan Elder of the Heavenly Void Gate decided that only the disciples of the Heavenly Void Sect were allowed to enter and exit on the second layer, and the first layer of the Earth Flame Mountain was used for ordinary casual cultivation in the Ulan Kingdom and the surrounding countries.

There are about seven or eight hundred disciples of the Tianxu Sect here, and among them there are nearly a hundred foundation building monks. There are about eight or nine hundred scattered monks in the other Ulan countries and the surrounding countries, almost all of them low-level monks, who cultivate, buy, sell, and trade all kinds of things here.

The two of them came to the first floor of Earth Flame Mountain.

"Do you know any of the vendors here?"

"The disciples often come and go here, and most of them know each other! Uncle Shi wants to find a trader?"

"Find a few powerful people to come over! I have something to sell. ”

Ye Chen commanded.

"Okay, you wait a minute! The disciple will go right away. ”

Li Xuan hurriedly ran towards a lively small market in the Earth Flame Mountain, and quickly found a few merchant monks.

"I don't know what this Ye senior wants to sell?" "Several of us are grocers, as long as it is a spiritual object, we will buy it. ”

Seeing that Ye Chen was a second-generation monk of the Tianxu Sect, these businessmen hurriedly bowed to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took out a bunch of scattered items in his storage bag, such as fire spirit knives, ice spirit swords, giant earth hammers, golden spirit armors, wood spirit shields, etc., all kinds of strange spirit weapons, as well as low-level spirit pills, spirit medicines, spirit wine, etc., most of them were used by Qi refining period cultivators, almost piled up into a small mountain of several zhang, each worth between dozens and hundreds of spirit stones. There are also a few low-level magic weapons, which are worth at least thousands of spirit stones.

"So many spiritual weapons?"

Li Li was taken aback.

"There's at least a few hundred items here, right?" "That's too much! I'm afraid we can't eat so much with the financial resources of a few of us!"

The merchant monks were also dumbfounded, revealing embarrassment. They also have a small amount of money among the Qi refining period vendors, and they can take out thousands of spirit stones to purchase items at once. But there are so many items here that they far outweigh their financial resources. ...,

"Half a year ago, there was a fire crow disaster in the Earth Flame Mountain, and hundreds of treasure hunters died, these are the second-hand spiritual weapons and magic weapons that I picked up at that time, and it is useless for me to keep them. You take an inventory, and they will be sold to you. Since you can't eat, Li Li, you go and find more vendors. ”

Ye Chen smiled lightly and said to Li Qian. If these items are sold in bulk, it is too troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, so they can only be sold to these traders at one time and exchanged for some spirit stones to use.

Li Xuan hurriedly ran again, and this time called more than twenty merchant monks in one go. They had also all heard that a large number of treasure hunters had died in the Fire Raven Hill, but they didn't expect that the items left behind by these treasure hunters were in the hands of the Heavenly Void Gate monks.

A small group of vendors excitedly gathered around this pile of items, counting them one by one, and calculating the price according to the degree of damage of the old and new. One by one, the price is definitely about 20% or 30% lower than the price on the market. These vendors don't do business that doesn't earn spirit stones.

Li Xuan was not idle, staring at the items and quotations in the hands of the vendors, lest they deliberately lower the price.

Ye Chen felt that the vendor's offer was appropriate, so he sold it on the spot.

It took nearly an hour, and hundreds of spiritual weapons and low-level magic weapons were picked up by these traders.

Ye Chen counted the number of spirit stones, and probably sold nearly 30,000 pieces of more than 5,000 spirit stones, which made him quite satisfied. The useless low-level spiritual weapons and useless magic weapons in his storage bag were almost all cleaned up and replaced with spirit stones.

Ye Chen took a small amount, two hundred spirit stones to Li Qian, which was regarded as a benefit fee for him to help run errands.

"Thank you, Uncle Ye, Uncle Ye has any need for the disciple's service, just give orders!"

Li Xuan took the spirit stone, and suddenly smiled almost from ear to ear, this is a spirit stone that he can't earn even after working hard for several months, and it's really right to find Uncle Ye to work.

After Ye Chen finished selling the spiritual weapon, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and turned his head to Li Zhen and asked, "How many mine slaves are there in this Earth Flame Mountain now?"

"Uncle Yu, there are now 100,000 mine slaves in the Diyan Mountain Mining Area, all of whom are warriors captured from Xingnan Kingdom and some nearby countries. A few days ago, the disciple heard that there was a need to increase the number of miners to mine. ”

Li Qian hurriedly said.

"100,000 miners!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and quickly calculated silently in his heart. He used to be in the Nanhu mining area, and about every warrior miner could dig thirty catties of low-grade ore every day. This Earth Flame Mountain should be similar. In this way, the 100,000 miners in the Earth Flame Mountain can produce nearly three million catties of ore per day, which is about the size of a medium-sized transport sailboat.

Every day, such a medium-sized sailing ship is used to transport ore to the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, and this amount is very staggering.

Such a huge amount of ore is used to refine spiritual weapons and magic weapons, and the monks of the Heavenly Void Sect alone can't use so much. You must know that the spirit weapon has a long service life, and it is not like the elixir that has been eaten and gone. A fire-based spirit knife has been rolled up, and it has no problem for more than half a year, but if it is damaged, it can be returned to the furnace for retraining.

Therefore, the inside of the Tianxu Gate will definitely not need this large amount of ore that has been continuously transported. During the more than half a year of his retreat, he brought back ore from more than 100 medium-sized sailing ships. Even if the 200,000 disciples of the Tianxu Sect each have a spiritual weapon, there is definitely a superfluity.

What he felt was wrong was here, in the price of the spiritual weapon.

If the Tianxu Gate refines a large amount of these excess ores into spiritual weapons and magic weapons, and sells them to the Nine Great Immortal Gates, Tianwu Immortal City, and monks from all over the world, the prices of spiritual weapons and magic weapons in Yunzhou will definitely plummet. Or just selling these ores will also cause the price of the artifact to plummet.

Ye Chen wondered in his heart.

The prices of the large number of spiritual artifacts he had just sold to these traders and monks were all very normal, the same as the price he had bought and sold before, and there had not fallen sharply, but there was no sign of a price drop.

Could it be that Tianxumen transported all the ores back to Xianmen and hoarded them as strategic reserves, and did not use them?..., but this is impossible.

Ye Chen directly vetoed this possibility in his heart.

The spirit stone is precious and can be transported back to the Immortal Gate. However, the ore raw material is cheap, so there is no need for this.

If the Tianxu Immortal Gate needs to hoard reserve ores, just put it directly in the Earth Flame Mountain and do not move, there is no need to dig it at all, and it will take up space when it is transported back to the Immortal Gate. Anyway, no force in Yunzhou dares to follow the Tianxu Gate to snatch the ore of this Earth Flame Mountain. Even if a small force like the Flame Gate occupies this place, it can only be forced to spit out and slip away in the end. When you need to use it one day, it's not too late to dig it.

However, Tianxumen dug out a large amount of ore, and used up to 100,000 miners to dig a large number of ores, and he must be in a hurry to use these ores.

Where is it used?

Ye Chen frowned, pondered for a while, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Since the price of spiritual weapons in Yunzhou has not fluctuated.

Then there is only one possibility, Tianxu Gate will transport a large amount of ore to other big states in the Kyushu continent, maybe it is a big state near the East China Sea to deal with the demon clan, or it may be a big state in the north and west to deal with the spirit clan and the ghost clan.

Only this possibility can explain the large amount of mining stones on the side of Tianxu Gate, while the price of Yunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm Spirit Weapons on the other side has not fluctuated much.

Yunzhou is located in the hinterland of the Kyushu continent, and although it is not directly threatened by the demon clan, it needs to transport supplies to support other large states. Otherwise, other big states can't support it, and Yunzhou is also unlucky.

Ye Chen thought secretly in his heart. However, he is not a high-level immortal sect of Tianxu Gate, so there is no need to think about this.

"Uncle Ye, what else does it take for a disciple to serve?!"

Seeing that Ye Chen was pondering, Li Qian asked in a low voice.

"No, you go get busy. ”

Ye Chen woke up from his contemplation and waved his hand to let Li Qian leave.

Li Li gave up and left.

At this moment, suddenly an exclamation came from afar, "It's passed! It's finally opened!" "Quickly, report to Uncle Feng, Uncle Yan, and several uncles in charge! Several Qi Refining Stage cultivators of the Heavenly Void Sect rushed out from the second floor of the Earth Flame Mountain, shouting excitedly.

"What works!"

A monk hurriedly stopped them.

"There is an ore passage on the third floor of Earth Flame Mountain, and it has been dug thousands of feet deep to the third layer! There is a very large space underground. ”

The disciples danced and roared excitedly.

"What!"

In an instant, the entire Earth Flame Mountain monks were shocked and boiling.
