five minutes later.
Under Qiao Yuanshan's almost stagnant gaze, Li Ma defeated the fourteen-headed skeleton monster.
Among them, the battle took half a minute in total, and it took one minute to rush to the fourteen-headed skeleton monsters.
With three and a half minutes left, he was searching for the loot left behind after the skeleton monster "immolated itself".
I have to say, he was lucky.
I actually found a star crystal inside.
Still a genuine star crystal.
"Star crystal is a hard currency that is used globally. Do you have channels to sell it?"
Li Mu came to Qiao Yuanshan.
And Qiao Yuanshan...
Until now, I still haven't reacted.
When he heard Li Mu's question, not only did he not answer immediately, but he couldn't help but asked in a voice: "Li Wusheng... you... are you a high-level star refiner?"
"no."
Li Ma replied: "The difference between a star refiner and a warrior is still very obvious. Ordinary people can't sense it clearly. As a martial saint, can't you still sense it?"
He said: "I am just a special warrior who has gone a little further on the road to martial sainthood and has little talent."
The gifted ones! ?
Massacre of thousands of people! ?
Okai River! ?
Tyrone! ?
Wang Liancheng! ?
Qiao Yuanshan immediately thought of these names in his mind.
Although Dayue Land has almost lost contact with the outside world, as a top expert under the lord of Xiangye City, Qiao Yuanshan is not ignorant of outside information.
Although they had a huge delay in getting the news, he still heard about the battle of the century that was making a lot of noise and spread to every corner of the world.
He is also no stranger to the expressions about peerless martial saints such as "those with extraordinary talents".
only……
Is the peerless martial saint so strong?
Maybe they fought desperately and succeeded in killing a mid-level monster comparable to a formal star refiner, but they couldn't do it so lightly as the Li Wusheng in front of them, right?
or……
Has martial arts in the land of Otsuki fallen behind the times?
but……
Li Mu obviously didn't intend to continue explaining, and he didn't dare to ask too much.
Such a powerful martial saint who is so terrifying that he chases high-level star refiners...
It already has the power to overturn the entire fragrant leaf collar.
Li Ma took a look at the miserable situation in Ginkgo Village...
Having already tested the strength of the skeleton monster, he had no intention of going further into the ancient orc battlefield.
"Let's go back together."
Li Midao.
"yes."
Qiao Yuanshan quickly agreed.
At this time, he seemed to have remembered what Li Mu had just asked him, and quickly replied: "Li Wusheng, the great merchants and the empire have special purchasing stations in several big cities in the Molong Kingdom. We can get some precious materials and They exchange what they need, and star crystals are the type with the highest exchange value!"
He glanced at the thing in Li Ma's hand: "A genuine star crystal, worth three million imperial gold dollars or six million merchant coins."
"Three million, six million..."
Li Fei frowned when she heard the quotation.
The exchange rate between Dashang currency and Tianyuan currency is similar, and the exchange rate between Imperial Gold Yuan and Dashang currency is close to 1:2. But no matter which currency, their purchase price is still a lot lower than the market price.
For a moment, Li Ma didn't waste any more energy.
They are all foreign objects.
With his current ability, it is not difficult to get some money.
"Sell it for me and buy some supplies. I will give you a list then."
Li Ma threw the star crystal away.
"Shall I go to sell?"
Qiao Yuanshan quickly took the star crystal and said at the same time: "This... this is a genuine star crystal worth three million imperial gold dollars!"
In this land, three million imperial gold dollars are enough to buy the life of a martial saint!
"Go ahead."
Li Ming did not explain too much.
He planned to practice cultivation in Dayue for a period of time. After all, it would not be appropriate to stay in Wen Yusheng's manor and eat and drink for free.
Soon, the vehicle returned.
Another bumpy four hours.
However, when entering Xiangye City, Li Ma stopped the vehicle in front of an adobe house.
Seeing someone coming, a passenger in a car, two children, a boy and a girl who were playing in front of the house, ran into the room one after another.
Not long after, a well-dressed man came out.
But when they saw Qiao Yuanshan walking with Li Mu, they quickly saluted respectfully: "Teacher Qiao."
Qiao Yuanshan glanced at him, but had no impression.
The man quickly explained: "I listened to your martial arts classes at the Xiangye Conference eight years ago."
Qiao Yuanshan nodded.
When they first arrived in Xiangye Ling, they really wanted to promote martial arts to make the people of Xiangye Ling self-reliant and avoid being helpless when encountering danger, so they deliberately taught martial arts publicly at the Xiangye City venue.
But later they realized that the first thing Xiangye Ling had to solve was the problem of food and clothing for everyone. They couldn't eat enough, and they couldn't keep up with nutrition. Forcibly practicing martial arts would only destroy the body.
Therefore, the martial arts teaching that lasted for three months was forced to stop.
It's a pity that the problem of food and clothing...
The high taxes shared by the superiors made it impossible for the lord to completely solve the problem after nine years of hard work.
Especially five or two years ago, when the tax officials saw that the mental outlook of the people of Xiangye City had improved significantly, they increased the tax amount again.
"Yesterday, I took a set of clothes from your home for a special reason."
Li Ming said, and took out a stack of gold coins from her body: "This is compensation for you."
When the man saw the stack of gold coins that Li Mu took out, his eyes suddenly lit up.
However, his eyes stayed on Li Ma and Qiao Yuanshan for a moment, and he quickly made a decision in his heart. He quickly bent down and said, "It's an honor for Meng Ren to be favored by the Lord for that set of clothes."
Qiao Yuanshan on the side saw it and said in a deep voice: "Just take it if I tell you to."
"Teacher Qiao, calm down."
Meng Ren bent down very low: "I would like to ask you to accept my son Meng Yang as your servant, and let him serve you from now on..."
"Be bold!"
Before Meng Ren finished speaking, Qiao Yuanshan shouted sharply.
He said to Li Ma: "Don't pay attention to what these people say, otherwise, they will take advantage of them as soon as they have the opportunity."
After saying that, he turned to Meng Ren: "Don't talk about the small matter of just borrowing your clothes. No matter how big it is, if you dare to repay a favor, it will be in vain for you to be my Xiangye collar people. If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be directly punished. deport!"
Meng Ren was so frightened that he knelt down. At the same time, he opened his arms and sleeves in fear, and the top...
Astonishingly, there was a blackened wound, in which black energy penetrated along the wound and towards the body.
Seeing this wound, Qiao Yuanshan's expression suddenly changed: "Death energy? Were you injured by a living corpse?"
Then he said: "No, you don't look like a warrior at all. How can you survive if you encounter a living corpse?"
"It was scratched by ore stained with corpse blood while searching for ore..."
Meng Ren's eyes revealed sadness, but more importantly, despair.
"Search for ore..."
Qiao Yuanshan couldn't help but remain silent after hearing this.
The black gold mining area is the largest mining area left over from the Dayue Period, and it extends in all directions.
During the turbulent period that year, many Dayue soldiers retreated to the mining area under the pursuit of the Star Refiners. An unknown number of soldiers and miners died inside.
However, due to the sudden attack of the Star Refiners, many mineral deposits in the mining area were not moved out in time. As a result, people in Xiangye Territory and several surrounding territories often went deep into it, hoping to search for bronze ore, hematite, and black iron ore. , mithril mines, and fine gold mines in order to make a fortune.
Although as time went by, the soldiers and miners who died inside, as well as the people who went deep into it to snatch the ownerless ore were corroded by star power and transformed into living corpses and demons. This is the most dangerous place that threatens the territory, but there are still countless people risking their lives to search for ore and even mine mineral deposits.
Not to mention the other territories, hundreds of people die in Xiangye Territory alone every year.
but……
A piece of black iron ore with acceptable purity can be sold for several thousand imperial gold dollars. For this high profit, it is worth risking the lives of countless people.
"If you are contaminated with death energy, you will definitely die. Meng Yang's mother contracted an illness and died three years ago, and her grandparents also died in the turmoil nine years ago. If I die, they...cannot survive..."
Meng Ren kowtowed: "Please take them in, sir..."
"Okay, your lord will not give up any of his people, I will apply for subsistence allowances for you..."
Qiao Yuanshan said in a deep voice.
"You let your son be my servant, what will your daughter do?"
Li Midao.
He just saw two children in the yard.
The boy is about ten years old and the girl is five or six years old.
Facing Li Mu's inquiry, Meng Ren opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he trembled and lowered his head, not even daring to look inside the room.
"Can't it be cured if it's contaminated with death energy?"
Li Mu glanced at Qiao Yuanshan.
"It's just a wound. Cutting off your hand should save your life...but the death energy penetrates deep into the body..."
Qiao Yuanshan shook his head as he spoke: "It is said... that only top star refiners can remove the death energy..."
Top star refiner!
Only the most powerful warlords in the land of Dayue have top star refiners, and most warlords are only at the level of high-level star refiners.
Small lords within the warlord's sphere of influence like Xiangye Leader don't even have a single star refiner, and the most powerful ones are probably only two or three martial saints.
Of course, due to the extreme shortage of Da Yue Star Refiners, six hundred guns were more intimidating than two or three martial saints.
Qiao Yuanshan said and sighed: "Now that I know about this matter, I can't ignore it. I will inform the lord and the relief department will raise them both."
"Thank you, Teacher Qiao, thank you, Teacher Qiao..."
Meng Ren kowtowed repeatedly and cried with joy.
"Warriors dare to go to the black gold mining area. If you don't die, who will die? And two children will become orphans!"
Qiao Yuanshan hates that iron cannot make steel.
"Meng Yang...he is very talented...I...I really don't want him to be like me...without any future in this life..."
Meng Ren said with a trembling voice.
Qiao Yuanshan could only sigh after hearing this.
In the final analysis, the fragrant leaf collar is too poor.
The Martial Saint seemed to have seen too many things like this, and without saying anything else, he greeted Li Mu and got into the car.
The group successfully returned to the manor of Lord Wen Yusheng.
