In Qingyun Town, not only is the carriage and horse avenue bustling with cars coming and going. Even the foothills of Langya Mountain, which was originally inaccessible to the north of the town, are crowded. Recently, there was sudden news that Langya Mountain produces a kind of precious ore that is the only one in the Wuyuan Continent, called the barrier stone. One of the four major families in the capital of the principality, the son of the Mu family came to mine in person.
A few days ago, the ruins of ancient medicine broke out on Langya Mountain, and legend has it that the head of Qingyunfang obtained five purple spirit crystal beads from it. Originally, many people thought that someone was deliberately smearing Baishengmen and Qingyunmen, but soon Chief Liu absconded, the disciples of Baishengmen were punished, and the Qingyunmen Fang guards were executed for their ineffective guards, and then Qingyunfang announced that it would auction the purple spirit crystal on February 15 in Wuyuan. All of this shows that the relics of the ancient doctor are real, and as for whether it is in that cave, with the absconding of Chief Liu, no one knows.
Now it is rumored that Langya Mountain is rich in precious ore barrier stones, so people rush to ask each other what the barrier stones are and other things. Soon, there was a shop in Qingyunfang that traded documents and classics, Yingzheng Pavilion, which sold a handwritten copy of the "Excerpts from Wuyuan Kaiwu" worth twenty silver coins. It is said that the steward of Qingyunfang once heard the news and sent Fang Wei to inform Yingzheng Pavilion Caidong Yu Yingzheng to go to Qingyun Pavilion for hearing. Afterwards, there was gossip that Yu Yingzheng confessed that there was a black-clothed martial artist with a disguise, and he went to Yingzheng Pavilion at dusk the day before yesterday with the classic book "Wu Yuan Kaiwu", and agreed that Yingzheng Pavilion would copy and resell the excerpts at the cost of five gold coins.
On February 7, Wuyuan, the only intersection of Qingyun Town leading to Langya Mountain, suddenly built a bamboo and wood attic, named "Langya Pavilion". Like Qingyunfang Wharf, it became the property of Qingyunfang, and Qingyunmen increased the allocation of funds from the Donghai Branch and controlled it by manpower. Langya Pavilion levies a deposit of ten gold coins on each climber, and issues a temporary pass waist card, which is protected by the guards patrolling the mountain. When leaving, Langya Pavilion will charge a commission of one-tenth of the value according to the amount of elixir and ore mined, and those who do not harvest will be refunded the deposit in full and the capacity increase fee of one silver coin will be withheld. Tsing Yun Fang has the right to inspect the items carried by passers-through, including bags.
Strange to say, Langya Mountain is a hundred miles in circumference, and only the southern foot is facing Qingyun Town where there is an entrance and exit, and the rest of the area is either a swamp or a cliff, which is impassable. If you want to go to Langya Mountain, you can only pay money to enter from Langya Pavilion. Although Qingyunmen's move attracted everyone's criticism for a while, if you think about it carefully, those who are rich in wealth don't care about a silver coin, but they care about the barrier stone becoming the street *. Qingyunmen has not closed the mountain, and everyone really has nothing to say.
Song Zheng's assistant was not in a hurry, he took out thirty gold coins and led two men to Langya Mountain to dig obstacles. These two guys are also Song Zhengzhu's friends, who have been working together for more than ten years, have reliable personalities, and have settled in Qingyun Town. In the past ten days, he has received the help of Song Zhengzhu, from an ordinary person to use elixir qi tonifying pills to urge true qi, to become a low-level martial arts cultivator, these days to help Song Zhengzhu order a carriage, recruit training partners, can be regarded as Song Zhengzhu's right-hand man, every day big fish and meat are waiting, grateful to Song Zhengzhu, and also know the character and temper of the mullet, it is considered a hardcore subordinate.
Zhou saw that Song Zhengzhu had taken the lead, and soon instigated Zhou Enzheng to enter the mountain. Zhou Enzheng also brought two friends and partners, and they were also low-level martial arts cultivators who were prompted by the elixir. Zhou and Song met in the mountains, knowing that this was for their son and Hua Lun, and there was nothing jealous of each other, although they were looking for mines separately, they also got together every night, and the six of them watched and helped each other.
Langya Mountain is not a good place, and there are also wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. In the early years, during the difficult season of foraging in winter, those fierce beasts also used to come down the mountain to cause harm, and even the famous hunters did not dare to go up the mountain at will. Later, Qingyunmen was stationed in Qingyun Town, although the original residents of the town were very disgusted with the jurisdiction and control of Qingyunmen, but Qingyunmen cleaned up the beasts in the town, which can be regarded as a benefit. Most of the people in Qingyun Town rely on seafood for their lives, and there are not many hunters who go up the mountain. After so many years, many people only remember the ship-breaking beast that swallowed the sky and the sea, but they forgot the man-eating beast on Langya Mountain. Song Zhengzhu and Zhou Enzheng can help each other, which is a good thing after all.
The four low-level martial cultivators all knew that Song Zhengzhu and Zhou En had made a fortune because they had good sons, so they were not only grateful to Song Zhengzhu and Zhou Enzheng, but also had a lot of respect for their sons. can't be disrespectful, for the people in Qingyun Town, Qingyun Pavilion is the official government that manages the town, and Qingyun Fangwei is equivalent to the official servant, and everything he does is the will of Qingyun Pavilion, and he can't refuse until he has to. The son is not Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has a good relationship with their friends, but the son does not have this obligation, so the four of them are usually very dedicated and dedicated to their lives.
As the saying goes, the laster prevails. On the day Zhou Zhengen and his gang went up the mountain, they found the barrier stone, but it was not the source of the mine, but the ore left in the mountain forest. In any case, it is a real ore, and only based on the records in the book, it will not give people a real feeling. Zhou Enzheng didn't send someone down the mountain immediately, so it is estimated that most of the people in the town will share the appearance of the real ore. The six of them met in the evening to take turns feeling the appearance of the ore, and soon the next day everyone found a vein. By the third day, in only two days, the two gangs had fully mined about 500 catties of ore. This ore is of high purity, almost no impurities, and the six people secretly buried the ore vein and went down the mountain with five hundred catties of ore. The first batch of ore had no real price, and Song Zhengzhu happily threw down fifty catties of ore and left Langya Pavilion.
This fifty catties of ore as an introduction, since this day, Langya Pavilion produced the obstacle stone on the market in Qingyunfang, the market price once speculated to ten silver coins a tael. Soon, before the day of the auction, the barrier stone stinked in the market. At the beginning, except for Mu Shi and Warren, who had a strong purpose, the rest were fresh. When everyone really couldn't see where the obstacle stone was valuable, the barrier stone opened a long time with a priceless market, and soon Langya Pavilion became a place where the door can be gathered. However, the people who went up the mountain all encountered fierce beasts, and even Zhou and Song heard the low roar of fierce beasts in the camp at night. Soon, Langya Pavilion reduced the security deposit, cut the guards, and left a guard to respond to the façade, which became a checkpoint for the hunters to go up the mountain to hunt beasts.
On the day Warren received the stone, he began his research in retreat. However, each Dan recipe was made after countless proportions, refining, and experiments by predecessors, and it has complex principles and refining methods, which can not be easily understood by a mortal. It took a night in a row, and nothing was gained. Warren put the obstacle stone into the Armillary Boots alone, and there was no movement, not even the slightest change in the hour. Putting it together with the Purple Spirit Crystal Bead, before the Purple Spirit Crystal Bead turned into an amethyst, the barrier stone had already turned the Purple Spirit Crystal Bead into a waste slag, and the originally dull stone itself turned into a piece of metal ore that transmitted purple light in an instant.
Warren tried to feel or pull this piece of metal ore with his divine sense, but there was no feeling or change, and he smashed his true qi into this ore, but it was a meat bun and a dog that never returned. After tossing all night, after this ore emitted all its aura, not only did it not return to its original dull stone appearance, but instead vaporized in the air. This is really stealing chickens and rice, and a good purple spirit crystal bead will be volatilized with a piece of ore. Warren was extremely discouraged, thinking about whether to arrest that Mu Shizi and torture him. Thinking that the prince of the world was equipped with six mid-level martial arts guards, Hua Lun knew that he could only be there to care.
