Chapter 2, Spirit Mine
The ten fingers of both hands successively changed three magic seals, forming a reserve seal, and Liu Li incorporated the old black bamboo's Shui Qingfei Sword into his storage ring.
This storage ring is worn on Liu Li's left index finger, simple and unpretentious, it is a storage ring that Liu Li bought for 200 spirit coins, it is only five square meters in size, but it is enough to hold some portable necessities.
The storage ring is one of the essential magic weapons for every practitioner, and by forming three designated seals, the practitioner can store some of the necessary items on his body into the void inside the ring, and can also take them out again when needed.
The higher the level of the storage ring, the wider the space, and of course, the more expensive it will be. Not long ago, Heyang City auctioned a three-grade storage ring, with a price of up to 700,000 spirit coins!
Its space can accommodate the next small mountain.
It is said that this three-grade storage ring was auctioned by a business magnate in Heyang City with 700,000 spirit coins at that time, and was used to fill some rouge gouache for one of his concubines, which caused a sensation in Heyang City.
Rich people are made!
Liu Li, like all poor cultivators, scolded this with jealousy in his heart. But who calls people rich and powerful, Liu Li is a little calm when he thinks about it like this.
Walking through a few streets and greeting a few practitioners he knew, Liu Li quickly walked out of the gate of Heyang City.
More than ten kilometers away from Heyang City, there is an abandoned "Spirit Mine" area by the Zhitian Clan, the high-grade spirit ore in this mining area has been mined by the Zhitian Clan, but there are still some low-level spirit mines that have not been mined, attracting many cultivators to come and mine the spirit ore.
Even low-level spirit ore can be taken to the market to exchange for spirit coins, although the price is low, there are still many 'hungry' cultivators, willing to risk being attacked by monsters and monsters, come to mine spirit ore.
Liu Li is also one of them, but he doesn't dig spirit mines to exchange them for spirit coins.
Spirit ore has a wide range of uses, in addition to the spirit ore above the third grade can be used to forge magic weapons, cast spirit coins, and refine crystals, the spirit ore below the third grade can be refined, and its essence can also be used to repair some low-level magic weapons.
A magic weapon forging master like Liu Li often has to help others repair magic weapons, which requires a large amount of spirit ore, and in order to save costs, it has become one of his daily tasks to mine spirit ore in the mines outside Heyang City every day.
Carefully climb to a mountain range, and as far as the eye can see, the endless barren mountains are full of devastation, and there are bottomless mines everywhere, occasionally a few cultivators wander there, trembling and wandering there, monsters and monsters haunt frequently at night, but there are also many during the day.
Looking at the empty mountain range in front of me, which made people feel a little panicked, there were many cultivators walking lightly, there was no wind, no sound, the world seemed to stop time at this moment, and the atmosphere was a little strange and terrifying.
Liu Li's Adam's apple moved up and down, cautiously crawled to the mouth of a mine, and looked inside, although it was dim, it did not have the unique fishy smell of demon beasts.
Liu Li skillfully covered his mouth and nose with a scarf around his neck, a large amount of spiritual dust floated in the mine all year round, spiritual dust is extremely harmful, long-term breathing of this spiritual dust will reduce the cultivator's own cultivation, and will also have a certain impact on the practitioner's physical and mental health.
Next, Liu Li summoned a shaft rope from the storage ring, tied the shaft rope to the convex corner of the mine, and slid down the shaft rope into the bottomless mine.
The air was very turbid, even though his mouth and nose were covered by a scarf, Liu Li still felt the thick spiritual dust around his breath, and he frowned slightly, trying to reduce the frequency of his breathing, so as not to be invaded by this deadly spiritual dust to his lungs.
Liu Li had personally witnessed a cultivator who had been digging spiritual mines in the mine all year round, but because of improper preparation of protective measures, he inhaled too much spiritual dust, and finally lost his cultivation and became a waster.
Without a cultivator, he lost the ability to earn spirit coins, and his fate was naturally that he couldn't pay the spirit tax, and was driven out of Heyang City by the Zhitian Clan, and was bitten and devoured by monsters and monsters.
Although the fate of this poor cultivator did not win the sympathy of many people, it sounded the alarm for countless people, spiritual dust is deadly dust, please take protective measures carefully!
Of course, some high-level practitioners can use 2,000 contribution points to go to the Zhitian Clan in exchange for a four-grade method called "Inner Tube Breath Technique", with this method, practitioners can move freely in the mine and water, but for countless practitioners, 2,000 contribution points are out of reach, so more people are like Liu Li, who use this 'soil method' to act in the mine.
After a while, Liu Li felt that his left foot had stepped on the ground, which meant that he had reached the bottom of the well, without saying a word, Liu Li hurriedly took out an iron pickaxe from the storage ring, a detection ball, the detection ball is a kind of magic weapon, which can provide lighting functions.
Input a little aura into the exploration ball, and the dim light immediately illuminates the mine, this exploration ball Liu Li has used it for two years, and the light emitted has changed from the initial brightness to dusk, but Liu Li has been reluctant to discard it.
It's not that Liu Li's life is poor, living in this world where you will lose your qualification to survive without spirit coins, you can never predict when the calamity will come, so it is always not wrong to save money and save more spirit coins for emergencies.
Through the dim light of the Exploration Ball, Liu Li cautiously walked towards the depths of the mine. The entrance of the mine is full of traces of being excavated, and as time goes by, the resources of the spirit ore are becoming increasingly scarce, and to this day, if you want to dig the spirit mine, you must go deeper to the bottom of the mine.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, until there were fewer and fewer traces of excavation around him, Liu Li stopped, raised his iron pickaxe and began to dig spiritual ore.
bite
bite
bite
The silent and dark mines, the dull and sharp chisel sound came one after another, the iron pickaxe knocked on the hard rock wall, bursting with spark foam, the timid people are not up to this kind of work, the quiet and eerie atmosphere, the danger is enough to make ordinary people break their hearts.
Syllable!
There was a crisp sound, and a strange touch came from the iron pickaxe, Liu Li was overjoyed, he didn't care about sweating profusely, and dug hard a few times, and a spirit ore with a faint blue light was cut off by Liu Li from the rock wall.
With a grunt, a fist-sized spirit ore rolled down to Liu Li's feet, and the surface was covered with dirt.
The excitement covered up the tension for a while, Liu Li picked up the spirit mine, put it in front of a pair of dark and deep eyes, and looked carefully for a moment, the inside of the dark blue spirit mine, mixed with a lot of rocks, Liu Li was suddenly disappointed, looking at the color, there are too many impurities inside this spirit mine, this is at most a piece of first-grade spirit ore.
The best way to distinguish the grade of the spirit ore is to look at the color of the spirit mine, as well as the amount of impurities inside, in this regard, Liu Li, who has been dealing with the spirit mine all year round, can be called a master.
Shaking his head, he put the Yipin Spirit Mine into the storage ring, Liu Li put away the iron pickaxe in discouragement and continued to walk deeper into the mine.
In fact, those who only dig spirit ore outside the mine don't know that the deeper the ditch, the purer and the higher the grade of the spirit ore contained.
This was discovered by Liu Li by accident, the price of purchasing spirit ore on the market is also set according to the grade of spirit ore, the higher the grade of spirit ore, the higher the price of the spirit ore, but unfortunately many practitioners do not know how to distinguish the grade of spirit ore, sometimes they dig up some three-grade spirit ore and sell it cheaply to those unscrupulous buyers, they don't know that those buyers have been smiling behind their backs.
Of course, there are few people like Liu Li, who will go deep into the lowest part of the mine to mine, most of them are hovering in the middle of the mine and do not dare to go deeper, judging from the official information given by the Zhitian Clan, the bottom mine hides countless dangers, a little spark may detonate the dense spiritual dust, and the power of the explosion is enough to blow a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building to pieces!
There are also legendary Cerberus, bone-sucking snakes, eye-eating insects, and other obstacles, which make countless miners stop and dare not go deeper.
But for Liu Li, the more dangerous the place, the profits contained in it are also incomparable to other places. Liu Li had dug a three-grade spirit mine at the bottom of the mine, this discovery made Liu Li ecstatic, a three-grade spirit mine, the market price is 200 spirit coins, and for Liu Li, a magic weapon forger, it is a treasure!
As we all know, the Sanpin Spirit Ore can already be used as the most basic material for forging magic weapons, and it is a high-grade spirit ore that is enough to make some magic weapon forgers crazy.
Of course, Liu Li will not make this secret public, the world is so big, there must be many people who have a heart to discover this secret, but the outside still knows nothing about it, it can be seen that everyone is playing their own little calculations.
In this world of cultivation where everyone is in danger, no one is willing to share their fruits with others, and everyone has the mentality of 'I don't die, you die', and they make a lot of money in a muffled voice.
Liu Li is no exception, although he knows that this is a 'secret that is not a secret', he will not be the first 'whistleblower', it is estimated that in another thousand years, this secret will not be made public.
It's a bit despicable to say that.
But in fact, no one is qualified to say anyone.
The deeper you go into the bottom of the mine, the more intense the spiritual dust fills the air, and the glow of the Exploration Ball can't illuminate the ten paces ahead.
Liu Li was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to take a breath, he carefully squatted in a corner, and gently picked up an iron pickaxe to dig the rock wall.
As a forger, Liu Li is convinced of the warning announced by the Zhitian Clan's 'dense spiritual dust will explode violently when it encounters Mars', and he is highly qualified, but he does not dare to use his own net worth and life to screen the truth of this warning, and would rather believe it or not, this is Liu Li's motto.
Babbling
At the bottom of the dead mine, the sound of digging slowly sounded, Liu Li's eyes widened, and he tried to breathe as little as possible, and the heavy spiritual dust made him burst into tears.
When a pure blue spirit ore shone in his slowly raised palm, his face covered under the scarf, and finally showed a smile.
Sanpinling Mine!
This color, this transparency, and faint blue light reflected on Liu Li's bloodshot eyes, exuding its unique beautiful brilliance.
Liu Li was overjoyed, tossed for a long time, and it was finally worth it.
Bang dang
Suddenly, in a violent roar, it was as if steel was smashed on the ground, and it sounded behind Liu Li, almost scaring Liu Li to the core.
"Cerberus, bone-sucking snakes, eye-eating insects?"
Despair and fear instantly surged into Liu Li's heart, and the excitement that was a second ago disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Liu Li turned his head abruptly and looked deeper into the darkness in front of him, his face like ashes
"Huh?"
Liu Li was stunned, and following the dim light of the illuminated ball, he saw a female cultivator with fair skin like clotted fat and pointed ears.
This female cultivator's long snow-white hair was scattered on the ground, her face should be very beautiful, and the leather armor on her body that emitted a soft white light seemed to have been blown up by countless magic weapon energy, her face was unrecognizable, blood was dripping, and there were traces of black smoke from various parts of her body from time to time.
Liu Li was not shocked by the bottom of the mine, how could such a person suddenly appear.
What really shocked him, and even frightened him, was that this was not an ordinary female practitioner, this was a first-class being.
The 'Heavenly Clan' that rules over the thousands of cultivation worlds
