"What! You also want to go to the Northern Spirit Mine?" When Sun Hao told Li Fatzi about the verdict of the master, Li Fatzi looked at Sun Hao with a surprised expression.

Sun Hao frowned and asked, "What do you mean, is it possible that you want to go too?"

Li Fatzi slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "I really didn't expect it, our brother is so fateful, yesterday my master just told me that he was going to the Northern Spirit Mine to be a resident alchemist for a few months, and asked me to go with him, but I didn't expect you to go too, just so we can be companions." ”

"That's a coincidence. Sun Hao also sighed, "But you went with your master, and you shouldn't be sent out to fight and kill, but I'm afraid I'm going to be cannon fodder, and if I get hurt, I'm afraid I'll still trouble you." ”

Fat Li patted his chest and said: "Sun Hao, don't worry, although I am not qualified to open a furnace for alchemy, it is still okay to ask for a few more pills for you, and if you have any trouble, just come to me." ”

Sun Hao naturally nodded yes. The two chatted for a while, and Fat Li turned around and went back. Sun Hao looked at the back of Li Fatzi, and secretly said that this person entered the outer door, and his luck was good, he was able to be favored by the alchemist, and his temperament was also much more restrained, he was not a stupid person, he could make friends.

Two days later, Sun Hao and others were gathered together and ready to go.

This time it was the seventh supply team sent by the sect for the dispute over the spiritual mine in the north, and for the ownership of the spiritual mine, the Qizhumen and several other sects had almost turned their faces.

Although the situation has not reached the point of imminent eruption, it also has a strong smell of gunfire and a lot of friction, so the supplies distributed by the sect to that side are extraordinarily rich.

This time it was an elder in the middle stage of foundation building, Sun Hao had met him in the main hall, and he didn't know his details. However, this elder seemed to have a deep impression of Sun Hao, and he paid attention to Sun Hao for a while when he saw him.

In addition to this elder, there were also seven or eight Qi Condensation disciples of the fifth or sixth level of Qi Condensation in the supply team, who were responsible for escorting supplies. The only ones who will really stay in the north are Sun Hao and Li Fatzi's master and apprentice, which makes Sun Hao muttered to himself, I am afraid that the road ahead will be more auspicious.

The amount of supplies was huge, and the elders of the formation carried four storage bags before they were all loaded. He counted the numbers, nodded, and everyone got on the escorted eagle and headed north.

As soon as he got on Lingying, Li Fatzi came over and talked to Sun Hao. His alchemist master didn't stop him, this middle-aged man with a long beard, wearing a Taoist robe, had a thin face, and did not build a foundation, only the cultivation of the ninth layer of condensation.

As soon as he set out, he chose a sheltered place, sat down, closed his eyes, and rested. Sun Hao secretly stared at him for a long time, but he couldn't let him raise his eyelids.

Li Fatzi saw that Sun Hao had been looking at his master, so he introduced Sun Hao.

This middle-aged Taoist is named Cai Jiuyin, and he can be regarded as a top-ranked alchemist in the Qizhu Gate. Although his cultivation is not high, even the head of the sect will give him a little thin noodles.

And this person is an alchemy maniac, he entered the alchemy room from the time he entered the Qizhu Gate, and it only took three years to open the alchemy furnace independently, as long as he has nothing to do on weekdays, he is alchemy in the alchemy room.

The result of this is that he has not been promoted to build a foundation for thirty years, if he has not always been supported by pills, his current cultivation is afraid that it will be even worse.

This time, he was sent to the north to make alchemy for the disciples there for half a year, and I heard that he was still unwilling, so in the end, the head of the sect personally came forward and invited him out.

Sun Hao shook his head with some emotion, this is the real person with perseverance, he asked himself if he didn't have the ruthlessness to give up his cultivation to focus on alchemy for thirty years.

Li Fatzi and Sun Hao talked for a while, and saw that everyone on the Spirit Eagle was meditating on the back of the eagle without saying a word, and he lost interest, and since he went back to meditate, Sun Hao also closed his eyes and sat down, and began to cultivate.

Speechless all the way, this sitting was two days and two nights, and by the time Sun Hao opened his eyes, he had already arrived at his destination.

From a distance, Sun Hao saw a large stone forest erected on the ground, and within a hundred miles of the surrounding area was a large Gobi Desert, with almost no major obstacles, and the sect's station was in this stone forest.

The spirit eagle fell to the ground, and its own disciples came out to greet it, Sun Hao and the others got off the spirit eagle, looking at a few simple wooden houses and the surrounding desolation, and they didn't know where the spirit mine was.

An elder from the foundation building period greeted him and invited Cai Jiuyin and the escorted elders into the wooden house to talk, and Sun Hao and the others had no choice but to wait outside.

About half an hour later, just when everyone was bored, a few people finally came out. But they hadn't paid attention to Sun Hao yet, and after saying goodbye to each other, the escorted elders and disciples took the Spirit Eagle back to the sect again, and they didn't stay any longer.

Cai Jiuyin also took Li Fatzi to his own alchemy room, and when Li Fatzi left, he also made a gesture to Sun Hao, signaling him not to forget to come to him.

It was only at this time that the elder turned his gaze to Sun Hao, he observed Sun Hao, his brows furrowed, and his face showed a trace of displeasure, but he didn't say anything, just opened his mouth and said to Sun Hao: "Are you the service disciple sent by the sect this time, you are really weak." ”

Sun Hao didn't care, and bowed his head and said yes.

I only heard the elder continue: "I don't care what you did to be sent here, you are no longer an ordinary sect disciple when you come here. The old man is the person in charge of this Northern Land Spirit Mine, and he is the fifth elder among the elders in the door, so you can just call me the fifth elder. ”

He cleared his throat and continued: "Since you are here, I don't care whether you are the elite of the sect or a rotten sweet potato, the old man treats his disciples equally, and he does not show favoritism, you only need to remember three things." ”

"First: There is no cave house of its own, there are just stations shared by team members, and a total of eight teams have been set up here in the gate, each team is led by a disciple of the eighth layer of condensation, and I will arrange for you to join the team later. ”

"Second!" the Fifth Elder stretched out two fingers and continued, "From today onwards, you will participate in the tasks I have assigned to you and your team, whether you are on duty or patrolling, you must complete it well, and you must not be lazy. ”

"Thirdly, and most importantly. You have to keep in mind that there is no guarantee of your absolute safety here. I think you have also heard that there are other sects fighting with us for the ownership of the spirit mine, although there is no full-scale war, but from time to time in the wilderness will encounter disciples of other sects, if you start to do it, you must go all out, otherwise I have my own rules to deal with it. ”

After the fifth elder said these words, his throat was a little dry, and he continued: "That's all there is to it, and your captain will naturally tell you the details. You wait, let me see. ”

He took out a piece of jade slip, looked at it, had a plan in his heart, and continued: "Now there are a lot of people in several teams, you can go to the sixth team, their station is three miles away to the east, just go back and take my token to report yourself." ”

Sun Hao nodded yes, took the token and retired, and went on the road to find the sixth squad.

Along the way, he took a closer look at the terrain here, and found that this place was almost flat, with almost no undulations, and the ground was covered with large and small stones, and in many places there were patches of stone forests.

The station of the sixth squad is hidden in a stone forest, and some simple prohibitions are arranged outside, Sun Hao has the token of the sect, so naturally he can't stop him.

It is said to be a station, but it is just a few simple wooden houses, built together, there is nothing special.

He soon met the captain who was cultivating in the wooden house, this person was surnamed Fang Mingzhan, with a long beard, looking rough, but he was a wonderful person. Although the cultivation had reached the eighth layer of condensation, there was no shelf, and after Sun Hao informed him of his intention, he began to talk about the situation of the team.

There are a total of five team members living in the station, and in addition to Fang Zhan, there are four people, two men and two women, who are not in the station at this time, and they went out to procure.

As for why you can still buy things in this kind of place, you have to mention the famous Wanbaomen in the Southern Regions.

Wanbaomen is a well-known faction in the Southern Regions, and it has a longer history than Qizhumen. However, it did not fall like the Bamboo Gate, but grew bigger and bigger. The reason for this is that it has the largest trading house in the entire Southern Regions Cultivation Realm, the Wanbao Trading House.

At the beginning of the establishment of Wanbaomen, it was formed by the merger of several major chambers of commerce, specializing in trading in the cultivation realm of the Southern Regions, and reselling cultivation materials.

Because its background and financial resources are quite strong, and it facilitates the transactions between cultivators, it is naturally unimpeded in the Southern Regions. After thousands of years of development, the branches have spread out, and the power is so great that it is terrifying.

Now Wanbaomen has opened almost all branches in the entire southern region, even in some small places. A few years ago, Qizhumen discovered a spiritual mine here, which attracted several sects to entrench here, and slowly made this desolate place become popular.

Seeing that it was profitable, Wanbaomen opened a small market here, but the business was not bad, and it was the best choice for the disciples of several sects stationed here to purchase materials.

Moreover, although the Fang Market is open to the disciples of several sects together, they are not worried that someone will make trouble in the market, and the signboard of Wanbaomen is enough to make people daunting, and nothing has happened in the past few years.

Sun Hao then understood the connection. Since he entered the cultivation realm, he has never been out of the sect, but he didn't expect that the cultivation realm is also like the world, there are trading firms, and he is secretly surprised in his heart.

Fang Zhan introduced the surrounding situation to Sun Hao, and told Sun Hao that in addition to Qizhumen, there were two sects with similar strength to Qizhumen, namely Dianjinmen and Tianmeizong.

The three sects are stationed on three sides of the spiritual mine under their feet, and they have always been at odds with each other from mining on three sides, and no one wants to suffer a loss. As the spirit mine got closer and closer to the core, the situation of the several major sects became more and more tense, and they were afraid that a big war would start one day.

Hearing this, Sun Hao nodded, only then did he understand the situation around him, and thought about how to survive here.

At this moment, the prohibition of the station was opened from the outside, and a crisp female voice came out: "Senior Brother Fang Zhan, we are back." ”
