The southern mountainous area of the Hengyue Mountains alone has a radius of thousands of kilometers. Thousands of people from the Qingwei Sect were thrown into it, just like a mud cow entering the sea, without making any waves.
Soon, no fellow disciples could be seen around. Under the urging of Zhao Xi, the flying boat flew deep into Hengyue Mountain. Below was an endless forest sea with countless giant trees and rolling mountains standing in it. , there are many strange-shaped peaks scattered here and there, some of them even float directly in the sky, surrounded by seas of clouds, it really looks like a fairyland.
After flying for nearly two hours, Zhao Xi controlled the flying boat and arrived at a small valley hidden among the mountains. He could clearly see that the entire valley was full of pits and ravines, ranging from a few meters shallow to as deep as a few meters. tens of meters.
Heaven is transformed from the body of a saint, so that it can stand forever under the impact of the violent sea of time and space in the four-dimensional universe. Just like Pangu's creation, muscles turned into the earth, blood turned into water, and bones turned into gold and stone.
Therefore, the metal properties of various gold and stones in the heaven are much stronger than those in the lower world, and they are top-notch materials for manufacturing various types of equipment. However, mining is very difficult, and mining has become a profession.
Everyone was excited when they arrived at the destination. Although mining is hard work, the advantage is stable income, and as Zhao Xi said, this place is quite secretive and no one else will come in a short time.
Several people took out a handful of black hoes, jumped off the flying boat one after another, and started hammering in the valley.
The density of the material in the heaven is extremely high. This kind of hoe is called a black-mouthed hoe. It has a certain ability to break through hard soil and rocks. However, even with the aid of tools, it is not easy to dig.
Luo Kai didn't bring this thing, so Zhao Xi took out a black-mouthed hoe and handed it over, smiling and saying: "Junior brother Luo, this black-mouthed hoe is indispensable if you want to find mineral veins. This thing wears out very quickly, so you must carry at least one with you. Three or five handfuls, this small valley is rich in a kind of ore called Dicuo, which is quite expensive. If you just pick a little bit, it will be a worthwhile trip. If you can find the original ore, you will make a fortune."
"Thank you."
Luo Kai took the black-mouthed hoe and noticed that the words Hongmeng Creation Bureau were branded on the hoe. It seemed that this simple mining tool could only be refined by the Hongmeng Creation Bureau.
He also jumped off the airship and found an open area to start digging. Mining was actually not a simple task. The gravel-covered ground was very hard. He could only hoe it with his strength. A small pit.
Others were even more miserable. Without driving mana, they couldn't hoe at all.
They could only stick some power-enhancing charms on themselves one by one, and then use their magic power to break through the hard surface. Soon someone dug a large piece of dark brown ore to show off to others.
Chaos energy can strengthen the human body. Therefore, in addition to being able to condense the Hunyuan Qi, the Hunyuan Wuji Gong also significantly transforms the body. Luo Kai gradually moved his body, powerful power was stimulated, and the excavation speed became faster and faster. , a small pit gradually took shape.
Unfortunately, mining is also very dependent on luck, and there is no reward.
Among the team, only Zhao Xi did not participate in the excavation. He stood on a mountain peak, scanning the surroundings with his sharp eagle eyes, while holding a map in his hand for comparison.
After a while, he came to Luo Kai and whispered: "Junior Brother Luo, I am going to explore Hengyue Zhongshan. Please take care of these disciples. If you encounter danger, just send out the Cloud Piercer Talisman. Here It’s Nanshan, and there should be support from my colleagues soon.”
The Cloud-piercing Talisman is a paper talisman similar to fireworks. It can be launched into the sky to create a great momentum and is used to summon fellow sects. At the beginning of the annual hunt, each person is given one.
It was obvious that Zhao Xi had already planned to act alone, so he deliberately brought everyone here to mine. Luo Kai couldn't say anything, so he could only say: "Okay."
"You must obey Junior Brother Luo here. No one can leave the team and act without authorization. I will be back soon." Zhao Xi shouted to the others, and then his figure rose into the sky and disappeared into the sky.
Everyone else also understood Zhao Xi's plan, and they secretly complained in their hearts. They thought they were hugging a thigh, but this thigh was obviously unwilling.
Take them.
The Hengyue Mountains have outstanding spiritual beings and produce many rare and rare treasures. However, the Qingwei Sect only controls the southern region, which is the smallest area. There are also vast areas in the central and western areas. It is said that there are spiritual fruits that can prolong life and there are also terrifying monsters there. beast.
In comparison, it is definitely more comfortable to move forward and retreat when acting alone, and you can also gobble up good things when you find them.
Of course, there are also hunting teams from the other two major forces. If they meet, they will inevitably have to compete.
It is said that the sect has a team composed entirely of second-generation disciples, whose purpose is to go to the areas controlled by the other two sects to find natural materials and rare treasures.
Luo Kai looked at the direction where Zhao Xi disappeared from a distance, and he was a little eager to give it a try, but now he needed to be responsible for the safety of this group of disciples and could no longer leave.
The mountain has been closed for thousands of years, and it is easy for some powerful creatures to be born in this kind of land. If ordinary disciples encounter them, it will be difficult to deal with them.
A female disciple came to Luo Kai with a tea cup and said softly: "Uncle Master, I have Guyuan Tea here, which can slightly restore mana. Do you want to drink some."
"Thank you." Luo Kai looked at her, took the tea cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
The female disciple smiled like a flower: "You're welcome, you must be Master Luo. I've heard of you. My name is Yang Yu. I come from Donghua Mountain. My master is the Great Immortal Duanmu."
"Are you Senior Brother Duanmu's disciple?"
Yang Yu nodded and said, "Well, the master has mentioned you to me several times, saying that you have profound magic power and superb cultivation, and you will definitely become a great immortal master in the future."
Luo Kai shook his head helplessly, Duanmuxu would not say these words, he said: "Okay, go and do your work."
Yang Yu knew that she was wrong in flattering him, so she didn't dare to say anything more and walked away carefully.
Luo Kai continued to bury his head and dig. The work of mining was monotonous and boring, and it made him feel like he had gone back to the past, to the time of Nanya Island.
Mining actually involves skills. If you cannot find the mineral point and dig blindly, the efficiency will be very low.
It's just that the earthly prospecting methods are useless in the upper world. There are many obstacles underground, and even Luo Kai's powerful mental power can only sink five or six meters.
Active detection is not possible, so is passive perception okay?
Luo Kai stopped digging, leaned down, pressed his hands on the surface, and felt the pulse from the earth with his heart.
In fact, the earth is like life. We can feel the pulse of the earth by listening, and we may be able to discover something from the majestic and majestic pulse.
Unfortunately, unlike the earth, Luo Kai cannot feel the pulse of this earth, or in other words, he has not yet developed the blood-like blending and the resonance between heaven and man with this world.
After all, he is an outsider, not a person born and raised in this world. Of course, even if a native creature wants to integrate with its mother world, it will take a long process to create the kind of sympathetic connection between heaven and man. In the heaven world, it may take a long time. Accounting.
The mining lasted for a whole day, and everyone gained something more or less, including Luo Kai himself who also dug a few pieces of brown ore, which can be used to extract a metal called Dicu.
Although the metals in the heaven are different from those in the lower world, they cannot be separated from the categories of gold, silver, copper, iron, tin and other metals. However, their respective metallic properties are stronger. Dicha is a kind of iron ore with a solid texture and extremely high metal density. It is a good material for making some weapons and equipment.
For ordinary disciples, this is already a big gain, and they can at least be sold for a few to dozens of ether coins.
But for Luo Kai, it was really useless, and the ratio of benefit to effort was too low.
On the second day, batches of disciples came here, and the small valley gradually became overcrowded. Fortunately, they arrived early and each occupied a pit. The late ones had to dig outside the valley.
With competition, the efficiency will naturally be lower. Luo Kai breathed a sigh of relief. With the disciples gathered together, there would be no danger and he could leave.
