Natural fairy species

The rules of the Qingfeng Sect are that when disciples discover various types of mineral veins and report them to the sect, there will be rewards ranging from contribution points or super-grabbing status depending on the value.

For example, the outer sect disciples can advance directly to the inner sect without going through the sect competition.

Or as a steward, you don't have to wait in line and can be directly given the Foundation Building Pill.

But when you reach the level of Foundation Establishment Elder, you have different ways of handling this kind of thing.

If we can complete a series of preliminary work such as exploration and development by ourselves, it will be a stable vein of minerals waiting to be mined in the hands of the sect.

What this elder can gain is not a fixed reward, but 20% to 30% of the total revenue from the mine.

Like the spirit stone vein discovered by Mingluan back then, it was really close to Hejian County, so there was no way to excavate it secretly.

Otherwise, that miniature spirit stone vein could bring her dividends of more than 100,000 spirit stones.

Therefore, after Zhou Suqing discovered the suspected mineral vein, her first thought was to control this mineral vein.

As a late-stage foundation-building monk who still retains the hope of forming an elixir, she is naturally aware of the massive resources that will be consumed in the process of forming an elixir.

Pill-forming spiritual objects are just one of them.

For example, once the elixir formation fails, it can stabilize the sea of ​​consciousness and prevent the sea of ​​consciousness from collapsing.

The transformation of the spiritual fluid's mana failed, and the majestic mana was very likely to destroy the meridians throughout the body, and the meridians were used to protect the meridians.

They are all third-level elixirs, and the price can make an ordinary foundation-building monk bankrupt.

Although Patriarch Yang told her that he would fund part of it, Zhou Suqing still wanted to raise as much money as possible on her own.

It's just that his own combat power is really not up to par. Even if he faces a second-order low-grade monster, he can only suppress it with his realm advantage and cannot win quickly.

Only then did a strange scene appear. The overhaul came to invite two new elders in the late stage of foundation establishment, and the monks in the early stage of foundation establishment explored the mineral veins together.

"Ore vein?"

Bai Zichen's heart moved, Feiyue Lake fell into the hands of the sect for a short period of time.

In addition, in recent years, the main focus has been on the spiritual field, and the survey of various surrounding resources has been slow.

It is normal for a third-level high-grade spiritual vein to have several mineral veins sprouting nearby.

"I wonder what level it is and what type of mineral vein it is?"

Bai Zichen currently receives tens of thousands of spiritual stones steadily every year. An ordinary first-level mineral vein would definitely not be able to make his heart flutter.

"I accidentally entered a valley in order to pick a few Taiyin moon bud grasses... The Yin Qi in the valley is extremely strong, and the sun never shines all year round. I did a little digging and picked up a few pieces of ore, so that Junior Brother Bai can have a look."

Zhou Suqing opened her palm, and three or four gray crystals of varying sizes fell on the table.

Bai Zichen picked up a piece, but couldn't feel the slightest aura. He squeezed the gray crystal hard and turned it into powder.

"What kind of mineral material is this? It doesn't seem like the common spiritual materials."

Bai Zichen knew nothing about refining, and all his knowledge of mineral materials came from books.

"It's not a spiritual material, but an ordinary stone that is tainted with a trace of sinister energy and is undergoing crystallization... Did Junior Brother Bai notice that when you crushed it, your skin was slightly corroded and stinging? It was the crystal that was leaking out. Because of the evil spirit."

Although Zhou Suqing is weak in fighting skills, he is good at everything else.

He is proficient in magic, created his own Qigong method, and is also good at preaching and teaching.

If you also practice formations, you can become a second-level formation master in a short period of time, which is more than many people in the formation hall spend their entire lives studying.

He is well-read, and it is said that he has even read tens of thousands of miscellaneous books in the Chuan Gong Palace. He is known as a walking encyclopedia.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no more books to read in the Chuan Gong Hall, she might not have moved to Feiyue Lake.

"It turns out to be the evil spirit. Is there a crack in the valley that leads to the depths of the earth's lungs?"

When Bai Zichen crushed the gray crystal just now, there was indeed a trace of air leaking out.

But the so-called skin tingling was not felt at all, and I did not associate it with the evil spirit.

The amount was probably too small and was directly absorbed by the glass body.

"There are two possibilities. There are one or more Earthly Evil Yin Veins in the valley, and Yin Evil Qi is leaking. Or there is a Netherworld Stone vein hidden underground, which also gathers Yin Evil Qi."

Except for Zhou Suqing, not many elders of the sect know this kind of knowledge about mountains, rivers and earth.

She spoke out her judgment, which was well-founded.

"As for connecting to the depths of the earth's lungs, the probability is low... If this is the case, it will definitely be accompanied by the poisonous flames from the center of the earth, turning the valley into a Jedi!"

The earth evil yin veins only need simple care, and special techniques are used to extract the evil energy, and a gang evil can be obtained every once in a while.

According to the attributes of the Yin veins, different types of Gangsha can be obtained, such as the Pure Yang Gangsha from the Qingfeng Gate, the Blackwater Gangsha hidden in the Chuan Gong Hall, the Xuanyin Gangsha from the Ghost Spirit Gate...

Each Gangsha can be refined into a spiritual weapon with matching attributes, slightly increasing the power of the spiritual weapon.

But for its wider role, it is still used as a foundation-building spiritual object, which is taken and refined using secret methods.

"If the Earth Evil Yin Vein is good, you can harvest one foundation-building spiritual object every ten years... As for the Nether Stone, it depends on the size of the mine. Mining less than 100,000 kilograms is not very meaningful."

Bai Zichen clasped his fingers lightly. Ever since he had the stable cornucopia of dragon tooth rice, his horizons had become higher.

A foundation-building spiritual object in ten years has to be divided among three people, and Zhou Suqing has the lion's share here.

In terms of spiritual stones, there is really not much money.

But what Bai Zichen took a fancy to was the scarcity of foundation-building spiritual objects. If he couldn't use them himself, he could give them to his disciples and his descendants.

Compared with the uncertainty of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the stable production of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items is more practical for ordinary Qi Refining monks.

As for the Nether Stone, it is a very common second-level mineral material that can be used as an auxiliary material for magic spiritual weapons. There is definitely no market in Montenegro.

Mineral materials that are not very rare in themselves are not cost-effective to transport to other states and counties for sale.

Even if it is mined, it can only be sold to Wanbao Pavilion at a low price. The wide channels they have established can naturally digest the Nether Stone.

During the early stage of exploration, the sect officially mined the area later, and the elders who excavated it also had the responsibility of guarding and guarding.

The Nether Stone is useless to the Qingfeng Sect, so the sect will not send too many people, and the output can only be several thousand kilograms per year at most.

After deducting various costs, the maximum number of spiritual stones that can be divided into the hands of one person is one to two thousand.

How could it be possible to discover the Yin Vein of Earthly Evil, set up a formation to restrict it, and extract the evil energy once every ten years?

Moreover, the Disha Yin vein is different from the mineral vein, and the sect will not share it with the discoverer.

The expressions of Zhou Suqing and Su Li changed. In their hearts, of course they hoped it was the Netherworld Stone vein.

"I wandered around a third of the valley and then left immediately. Before I left, I heard several low-pitched roars. According to the pressure coming from them, they should be second-order low-grade monsters. But they came from three or four directions at the same time, and there were quite a lot of them. …”

Bai Zichen was speechless. After all, this Senior Sister Zhou was in the late stage of foundation building, so she was forced away by a few second-level low-grade monsters.

We also need to find helpers to form a team and share the profits.

"Be generous to the enemy. We count that there are five second-level low-grade monsters in the valley. I can use the talisman technique to hold down two of them. Senior Sister Zhou... is at a high level. Shouldn't it be a problem to hold on to both of them?"

Su Li said, looking at Zhou Suqing with some lack of confidence.

It is true that Zhou Suqing's past achievements were too amazing. He was tied by the Qi Refining Perfection in the early stage of foundation building, and lost to the Golden-winged Lei Peng in the middle stage of foundation building. He fled all the way back to the mountain gate with a defensive spiritual weapon.

"It should be possible... I am already a second-level high-level formation mage. Ancestor Yang taught me the ability to set up formations instantly, and I have gained a little knowledge."

Zhou Suqing hesitated slightly, then nodded firmly.

"I set up a second-level low-grade formation to trap the monsters. They will definitely not be able to escape within a cup of tea!"

"That's good. Senior Brother Bai is a sword cultivator with amazing combat power... There are records of killing second-level monsters in the land reclamation war. As long as we quickly kill the remaining monsters and then support one of us, we can defeat them one by one. !”

Su Li put his hands on his hands and said with a smile, this can be done.

"It would be best if there are less than five monsters in the valley. It would be easier for us."

Bai Zichen held his forehead and spoke a thousand words, but in the end they just turned into a sigh.

"Senior Sister Zhou, are you already a second-level high-level formation mage?"

If there are only a few second-level low-grade monsters, why not arrange them? Just kill them with your sword.

Being cautious also depends on the opponent. During the land reclamation war a few years ago, my own strength was far inferior to what it is now. I could kill the Golden-winged Lei Peng and the White Ape alone, let alone this time.

What made his heart skip a beat were the words "second-level high-grade array mage".

If I remember correctly, when I came back from Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Zhou Suqing controlled the 3,600-ring shisha formation on behalf of Patriarch Yang. He was still a second-level mid-level formation mage at that time.

It has only been a few years, and even if we talk about enlightenment together with the formation, we cannot improve it like this.

"That's right, I have focused most of my energy on the formation over the past few years... coupled with Patriarch Yang's careful teaching, I have made some progress."

Zhou Suqing's expression was indifferent, and she didn't seem to be proud of her own formation realm.

No wonder Patriarch Yang didn’t ask me about the progress of my formation. With such a successor, how could he care about a disciple with a naturally powerful spiritual consciousness...

Bai Zichen thought of himself and took some time to work on the formation.

So far, I can barely lay out the first-level mid-level formation, but I am still not very proficient in it and I have to try it again and again.

"Let's set off. It's only a few hundred miles away from Feiyue Lake. There can't be too powerful monsters...otherwise, they would have been sensed by Ancestor Yang, and they wouldn't have survived to this day."

Bai Zichen sighed and said that there was someone outside, and got up to set off.

Two neighbors came to visit him, and he was willing to take the trip regardless of whether it was beneficial or not.

I just want to try looking for monsters and seclusion for several years to see if the flying sword is still effective.

The third-level demon king has a strong sense of territory and needs a large enough territory to provide food.

From this point of view, it is impossible for a third-level monster to appear within a thousand miles of Feiyue Lake.

Even the probability of a second-level peak monster appearing is extremely slim.

At a distance of seven hundred miles, Yu Jian could return to the protective range of the 3,600-ring hookah formation in one stroke, so Bai Zichen could naturally let go of his hands and feet.

"Okay, with two junior brothers accompanying me, I will have greater confidence in this trip! Divide the harvest from the valley into four parts, I will take two parts, and Junior Brother Bai and Junior Brother Su will each take one share."

Zhou Suqing slapped the table and stood up as well.

"Junior brother, do you have any objections to this distribution method?"

Su Li must have discussed it with Zhou Suqing before coming, so naturally he wouldn't have any other ideas.

Bai Zichen pondered for a moment and then responded immediately.

As the discoverer and convener, Zhou Suqing deserves an extra point.

In other words, if her shortcomings were not exaggerated, this valley could be occupied by one person.

For Bai Zichen, this trip was more like going out to test the sword after a long retreat. It didn't matter how much he gained.
