Seeking Immortals

It was the first time for Li Qing to travel far in the Taixuan Continent across states and regions. He passed through a lot of scenery along the way, and arrived at Guisang Mountain in West Jinzhou in only three days.

The mainland is not like the starry sky, the starry sky is vast and uninhabited, and there are living beings everywhere in the mainland, and there can be no supreme mortals walking in the world. Li Qing tries his best not to go to places he has never known, and when he doesn't seek opportunities, he doesn't wander around, so as not to be exposed Self-born fairy species.

It is difficult to become a supreme being, but with the blessing of the longevity medicine, most of the supreme beings who became enlightened in the Yin Sixth Period can survive, and such accumulation will not be small.

However, the starry sky in the Taixuan Realm is not easy to stay in. The Taixuan Continent and the Starry Sky Realm are originally hostile, and there are venerables from the original creature camp lurking in the void to plunder the creatures that come out of the Starry Sky Realm.

"This is Ghost Mulberry Mountain. It was originally named Mulberry Mountain. There are mulberry trees all over the mountain. Later, ghosts wandered here, causing the extinction of all living beings in the place, and the sound of ghosts crying, so it got its current name." Above the sky, Li Zhong introduced the scenery below. .

"Ghost Mulberry Mountain has jurisdiction over thousands of miles. There are three first-tier mines and five abandoned mines. There is no need to mention the abandoned mines. The power of ghost spells is weak. Every few decades, sporadic ores of non-advanced ranks are occasionally generated."

"In the first-tier mine, all the ghosts are alive, and the power of the first-tier ghost curses and the second-tier ghost curses are distributed alternately."

"These eight mines are the assets of our Tianmang Sect here."

In the Guisang Mountain area, there is no grass and no trees, all are bare black stones, like a wild and dead place.

Li Zhong was born in the Tianmang Realm of the Starry Sky Realm, and he is on the same front as Li Qing. However, Guisang Mountain is Li Zhong's private property, and it is only named in the Tianmang Sect.

The Tianmang Sect used to be brilliant, and there was an extremely powerful Supreme, who led the creatures of the Tianmang Realm to gain a foothold in Taixuan, but after the Supreme entered the misty forest, there was no news. All over the Xuan Continent, and the exits of the Tianmang Realm, have been hidden by the disappeared Supreme, not showing the void.

Soon, Li Zhong brought Li Qing and others to the cave of Li's family. A creature similar in appearance to Li Zhong introduced him to everyone. Li Zhong introduced, "This is my second son. Pray to the Yin God."

"My eldest son is the early stage of the Yin God, and he is currently in charge of the entire Guisang Mountain on my behalf. There are three other sons, all of whom are in the Dongxu Realm."

"In addition, I have three mine slaves, two of which are healthy mine slaves, and one is infected with the power of a weak ghost spell. This is currently my greatest asset."

Lizhong had more than one hundred sons, many of them died, and only five became masters, and only these five were named sons.

"How about the output of the first-tier mine? What's the annual income?" Li Qing asked.

Turning first-order ore into first-order materials requires special smelting procedures. Taixuan Continent has a unified standard for each material, stipulating how much is one serving.

Li Zhong shook his head: "Barely maintain the practice of my family. As a mine owner, my family does not go out to compete for opportunities, and only guards one-third of an acre of land."

"Part of the ore earned is used to renew the miners, and the other part is used to buy cultivation resources."

"If the year is good, I can smelt a first-order material every year. My eldest son doesn't go to the mine, but I will go to the mine personally. When I go to the mine, I can occasionally produce two first-order materials a year; every hundred years, I have the opportunity to collect A second-order material."

"Of course, the anti-spell talisman is required to go into the mine. This is a huge expense, and the annual harvest can only be 30% of the balance."

Speaking of this, Li Zhong gave a wry smile: "This time, asking Old Ancestor Zhu to stay at Guisang Mountain for two hundred years, and spending five shares of second-level materials, I will suffer a great loss. In these two hundred years, my Li family will have nothing to gain, but in the dark Under the pressure of God-hunting, it is enough to keep the mine."

Li Qing silently calculated that if he was invited to stay in the mountain, the Li family would indeed lose money, unless there was an unexpected harvest.

However, being a mine owner is really a good job. There is no need to fight or grab, and it is really comfortable to go to Xianfang to buy resources for cultivation.

Li Qing wondered if he wanted to occupy the mountain as the king and become the mine owner. It was still difficult. A mine like Guisang Mountain had an upper limit. At most, it could train a monk to the late Yinshen stage.

...

After Li Zhong's introduction, Li Qing went on a field visit, and he quickly became familiar with mining matters.

Every mine owner, actually a mine slave, needs to go down to the mine, because the mine owner tends to have the highest level of cultivation, can resist stronger ghost spells, has a chance to dig high-level ore, and can also save the cost of anti-spell charms. expenditure.

It is possible to be a mine owner to support a family, but it is difficult to make a fortune.

In the face of good luck, a high-quality third-order ore was accidentally dug out, which is not taken into general consideration.

High-level mines are often occupied by more powerful ghosts, and they can make a fortune, but they are not easy to dig. Even Xianmen Dazong is helpless with some high-level mines.

Under the leadership of Li Zhong, Li Qing, Yi Feng, Huang Bai and the others, with pickaxes in hand, entered the first-tier mine for the first time.

"Mining is really difficult. I only heard it in my ears before, but now I experience it myself. I dare not be careless." Huang Bai tried to dig a few pickaxes, and kept complaining: "The mine was turned into a ghost by ghosts, and the consciousness is in the cave. It doesn't work at all, Yin God is not much different from ordinary people."

"The ore is combined with the power of the ghost curse. Every pickaxe goes down to fight against the power of the ghost curse. I am afraid that one will be accidentally invaded by the power of other ghost curses. Each pickaxe must be cautious and set the power point. .”

"If you use a pickaxe indiscriminately, an anti-spell talisman won't last long."

The first-level ghost spell is not a big threat to the late Yin God, and it can be resisted, but Huang Bai is still in the middle stage of the Yin God, and there is still the power of the second-level ghost spell in the cave. There is no way to get rid of it, and the end is death.

Li Zhong said with a smile: "This is nothing, more attention should be paid not to disturb the ghosts in the mine, once the ghosts get angry, there will be overwhelming ghost curse power, the anti-curse talisman is used here Those who save their lives in time can escape from the mine in an instant."

"The miners in my hands are all digging ores that are entangled by the power of the first-level ghost curse. Once the power of the second-level ghost curse is activated, it will consume an anti-spell talisman and escape from the mine."

"Is it possible to kill the ghost?" Yi Feng pondered.

"Difficult." Li Zhong shook his head and said: "Ghosts are hidden in the ore, and they have no spiritual sense, so it is difficult to locate them. Unless the mine is hollowed out, then the ghosts can be killed."

With Li Zhong's explanation, several people have truly experienced the difficulty of mining. No wonder the identities of miners and longevity medicine Yaoyin can exist side by side.

Li Qing could walk freely in the first-level mine, the first-level ghost spells would not affect him, and the power of the second-level ghost spells in this mine was very weak.

In the middle stage of Yinshen, he borrowed the anti-curse talisman in the yellow sand world, and was able to fight against the late Yinshen under the influence of the power of the second-level ghost curse.

Now that his cultivation level has advanced further, he has been cut three times, unless he has extremely strong second-level ghost curse power, he cannot be threatened.

But he still has the luck of anti-curse talisman and luck circle beads to resist those second-level ghost curses.

Even if one is infected with the power of the ghost spell, after one rejuvenation, it will be fine.

A few people dug a few picks randomly, and then they left the mine.

Yi Feng looked back at the mine, thinking: "If I want to occupy a mine in West Jinzhou, what should I do?"

"It's not difficult for a fellow Taoist to cultivate," Li Zhong said casually, "It's fine to fight directly, but remember, there have been rules in the battle of mines since ancient times. It's okay to defeat the opponent and occupy the mine. A miner who robs a mine owner."

"The mine owners here are all private property, but there is some influence behind them. If you kill and rob the mine, if you can't do it, the forces behind will take action, unless you kill the mine owner and leave, don't want the mine."

Yi Feng suddenly realized that the battle for the mines was different from the usual murders and treasures. If you rob a mine, you have to garrison it. This is a living target.

Li Zhong said: "Normal disputes, there will be no follow-up. After the mine owner loses, he will fight for other mines."

...

Two years later, after fully understanding the situation in West Jinzhou and conducting a detailed investigation of the forces behind the various mine owners, Yi Feng, under the banner of Haotianzong, attacked a mine not far from Guisang Mountain.

The mining was successful.

A total of three Tier 1 mines were obtained, one for Yi Feng, Li Qing, and Huang Bai each.

"We don't have mine slaves. From today onwards, we will go to the mines as mine slaves." Yi Feng raised his glass and laughed loudly at the celebration banquet for seizing the mine.

The original mine owner also snatched the mine from another mine owner a hundred years ago, and his strength is average, so he became the target of the three of them.

In the following period of time, Li Qing stepped down and turned into a miner, digging mines himself.

After digging on and off for twenty years, Li Qing stopped.

"What's the difference between this and my farming in Baiyuefang back then. I was obviously capable, but I still came to dig this low-grade ore, and it couldn't make me rich."

"Dig this kind of mine, and it doesn't take much effort for the venerable. I don't see any venerable as a miner."

Because Li Qing is not afraid of the power of ghosts and curses in the mine, Li Qing's mining speed is very impressive, and he can mine without stopping for a day.

However, refining the ore and removing the power of ghosts and curses in the ore is time-consuming. In addition, Li Qing has to spend a lot of time cultivating and brewing to cut the way. In twenty years, he only harvested thirty first-level materials and one second-level material. none.

Of course, if Li Zhong knew that Li Qing was cultivating and mining at the same time, and had such efficiency, he might be envious to death, and his whole family would not gain anything like this.

"You can't buy Tier 3 materials with Tier 1 materials, let alone Tier 4 materials. Although there are a small amount of Tier 2 crushed ore in Tier 1 mines, it's hard to find."

Li Qing thought about going to the mine that Li Zhong said produced third-order ore.

That mine, named Longyun Cave, is some distance away from Guisang Mountain, not far from Yinshen, Li Qing called Yi Feng, Huang Bai, and Li Zhong, and set off together.

Longyun Cave was originally an abandoned mine, but it attracted attention because of the re-entry of ghosts.

As soon as Li Qing and his party arrived near Longyun Cave, two creatures rose into the air to intercept them at the same time.

"I am Li Zhong of Guisang Mountain. What do you two mean? Longyun Cave is a land without an owner." Li Zhong said lightly.

Among the two creatures, the tiger-like one said: "Longyun Cave has an owner now, please come back, three fellow Taoists."

"Who is the master?" Li Zhong asked.

"Nine Heavens Sect, Lord Bailu," said the tiger-like figure.

"What Bailu Shenjun, let's talk about it after we fight!" Yi Feng's face was turned upside down, and he was about to make a move. The four of them, and three late-stage Yin gods, were unstoppable in West Jinzhou.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, a female figure leisurely rose up, cupped her hands and said, "It turned out to be the visit of Old Ancestor Zhu, but the one before entering the cave."

"Fellow Daoist Song Yan is here too. It's a pleasure to meet you." Li Qing replied, this woman is the seller of the third-order material yellow sulfur meteorite in Qinghan Immortal Workshop. gold.
