In less than a moment, Old Weird Qin and Ao Qing had finished their discussion. He deliberately invited Yi Yuan to stay away. Thirty Qi and Blood Pills, a total of thirty thousand top-quality spiritual stones, were really awkward to take out, but for Ao Qing's sake The growth is all worth it.
In the end, Old Monster Qin left with satisfaction, and all the 50,000 to 60,000 top-quality spiritual stones he collected went into Yi Yuan's pocket.
Yi Yuan's face was full of joy, which could not be hidden from everyone's observation. They sighed again: Alchemists are still the most popular in the practice world, but it is a pity that no one among them is good at it.
There is a certain order of learning and there is a specialization in the art.
If you can do what you are good at to the best, you are not far from success.
Just like Yi Yuan, he is successful in elixir refining, and the elixir he refines is unique in the world of cultivation, and it is easy to cause a sensation.
The exclusive sale of Qi and Blood Pills alone can bring Yi Yuan abundant cultivation resources. There are many people who want to take advantage of him, but no one dares to rob him openly. Apart from the background of the disciples of the Shangqing Sect, the most important thing is What's more, he has a master with a stronger background.
If it were another monk with no background, he would be able to experience what despair is in a matter of minutes? What is reality?
This is the real world of spiritual practice.
Yi Yuan was also lucky. As soon as he entered the world of cultivation, there were people who supported him, which made him less worried and able to do what he wanted to do without being disturbed by external forces.
“The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them.”
Yi Yuan knew all the principles, and Master Jiang had taught him a lot. He remembered them all in his heart and always reflected on himself.
Nowadays, Yi Yuan deliberately let go of a small amount of Qi and Blood Pill trading, not only because things are rare but also valuable, mainly to obtain a large number of cultivation resources; the improvement of his realm made him realize that the resources needed for the future cultivation path are even more Massive, starting to accumulate now, it can be considered a rainy day, and prepare in advance.
The master, Fairy Hongxiao, is about to join Yi Yuan. He himself now has a certain ability to protect himself, and just a few fellow apprentices cannot trade a few coins. After thinking for a long time, Yi Yuan decided to trade a small amount in a small area, and this was a long-term business. He had already made a calculation in his mind about how much Qi and Blood Pills would be traded.
In three to five days, the Nascent Soul stage monks who came here with admiration all had a common reason: for the sake of the cultivation path of their descendants, they had to find Yi Yuan and seek to trade Qi and Blood Pills; and in order to be able to trade a few more, all of them The top quality Qi and Blood Pills he used even took the initiative to raise the price.
Yi Yuan would always greet others with a smile, no matter what excuses they gave, with as many as ten or eight coins, and as few as three or five coins, depending on the situation.
High in the sky, in the void, Fairy Hong Xiao and master and apprentice Feng Qingqi stood side by side. They could clearly observe what happened in the past two days; if they had not known in advance that Yi Yuan had a higher quality Qi and Blood Pill, , they will definitely show up directly to stop Yi Yuan's actions.
In two days, the number of top-quality spiritual stones that Yi Yuan obtained made both Fairy Hongxiao and Feng Qingqi stunned. If this continues, it seems that her disciple Yi Yuan's practice does not require any resources from her master; it seems that she is leading the way. After Yi Yuan entered the master's school, he taught him a little bit about alchemy and gave him some prescriptions and elixirs, but he didn't teach him much in detail. The alchemy was completely understood by Yi Yuan himself.
Even so, Fairy Hong Xiao was extremely shocked by Yi Yuan's performance.
The marrow-cleansing pills with the pill pattern caused a huge sensation among the top leaders of the sect. Just three pills gave Fairy Hongxiao huge benefits; in the future, with the help of the top-quality Qi and Blood Pills in Yi Yuan's hands, she felt that she The foundation has been accumulated to the extreme, and you can advance to the realm at any time.
Now, Fairy Hongxiao will not meet Yi Yuan for the time being. She will observe him secretly for a few days to see which monks dare to take action, so that she can show her presence; she has not yet decided what would be a suitable gift for Yi Yuan. , she secretly protects him. This is her responsibility and obligation as a master.
The Mysterious Ridge Jungle is located due north of the Youquan Mountains. Within a radius of more than 10,000 miles, there are dense forests and towering ancient trees. There are many wild beasts and monsters growing in it. The most famous one is the gold-eating ant, which mainly eats metal. However, the shit poop pulled out by gold-eating ants is a strange metal called earth metal. It takes a long time to form a small piece. Adding a little bit when refining can improve the magic weapon. quality.
Therefore, the Mysterious Ridge Jungle is very popular among monks, and naturally attracts the attention of monks from the major sects. It is jointly managed by the Qinglong Sect and the Shangqing Sect. Each sect takes a rotation every five years, and there are sects in the eight directions. When disciples are stationed, the lowest cultivation level is at the foundation-building stage, and the highest cultivation level has masters at the Nascent Soul stage.
If you want to enter the jungle of Mysterious Ridge to find gold, you only need a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and you can carry out a month-long treasure hunt. As for harvesting, it depends on your own skills. In addition, gold-eating ants go deep into the ground, so if you want to hunt for treasure, you can also You must escape into the underground cave to explore.
If you find a little land gold at random, you can get a lot of rewards.
Over the years, after countless monks have explored it, even though the land gold produced by Mysterious Ridge has become less and less, there is still an endless stream of monks who come to hunt for treasures.
This year, while they were guarding the Qinglong Gate, Yi Yuan and his party entered the jungle area of the Mysterious Ridge. After handing over the spirit stones, they plunged into the dense forest.
Along the northwest direction, Yi Yuan's group of people traveled quickly for several days and searched deep into two or three caves, but found nothing.
At sunset that day, Yi Yuan sensed Cao Weibo's movements again. The familiar scent made him blink a few times. He secretly signaled to his uncle Lu Yunfeng to explore in another direction.
In the mysterious ridge, there are towering ancient trees and rolling jungles, piled up layer by layer. You are like a drop in the ocean, inconspicuous. There are even fewer monsters and high-level spiritual grasses.
There were a lot of wild beasts growing, but Yi Yuan and the others were not interested in them. They encountered a lot of caves, and they basically had traces of human activities. Such caves didn't have much exploration value.
After half a day's work, Yi Yuan and the others found a remote cave, which contained the aura left by Cao Weibo; the outside was covered with vines, and the entrance to the cave was blocked tightly with gravel, making it easy to ignore.
Without Yi Yuan's secret reminder, Lu Yunfeng would definitely not have been able to find this cave. It seemed that someone should be hunting for treasure in it. His spiritual sense detected that there was no one within a few miles. He opened the vines and cleared away the gravel at the entrance. Wind blew out of the deep cave. , with a slight chill.
Entering the cave, there are ancient tree roots clinging to the gaps between the stones on the stone wall. It is also a bit damp and messy. There are gravels on the ground. The traces of footsteps are completely covered up, making it difficult to detect without paying attention.
Not long after, they encountered a fork in the road. With Yi Yuan's secret prompt, Lu Yunfeng continued to move forward towards the cave on the right.
Even though it has been several miles underground, there are still plant roots embedded in the stone wall, and there are already gnawing marks on it, leaving dense small pits, which are the traces left by gold-eating ants.
In the crypt, it was dark and damp, but the faint light from the moon stone was enough to see the terrain clearly.
Cao Weibo's figure was constantly moving, but Yi Yuan and his party moved very lightly and were far away from him, so they would not be discovered.
After two full hours, Cao Weibo finally stopped, with a smile on his face. The space he was now in was very large, and deep into the ground. A piece of earth gold the size of a fist gave off a faint golden light under the illumination of the moon stone; He stepped forward, took the gold in his hand, weighed it gently, and showed a satisfied smile.
After a moment, there was a slapping sound, and a fist-sized foundation-building gold-eating ant appeared. A pair of half-foot-long golden tentacles trembled slightly, followed by a hissing sound.
In a few breaths, a large number of gold-eating ants came over. Among them was a gold-eating ant in the golden elixir stage. It was golden in color, the size of a washbasin, and its tentacles were more than a foot long. A pair of golden clips spread out in front of it. It opened, shaking slightly, driving the gold-eating ants to attack the invading human monks.
Seeing this, Cao Weibo shook out a large cloud of black mist, hid in it, and quickly rushed into another cave entrance. Where the black mist passed, the gold-eating ants were somewhat chaotic; after his figure disappeared, the gold-eating mosquitoes The group resumed their unified actions and then rushed toward the cave where Cao Weibo had left. The golden elixir-stage gold-eating ant also followed behind, obviously not wanting to let Cao Weibo go.
At Yi Yuan's secret reminder, Lu Yunfeng suddenly quickened his pace, and everyone followed him without asking.
After taking a stick of incense, they came to the underground cave space. There were several passages around, and the stone walls were covered with fine gnawing marks. This made everyone happy, and they followed Lu Yunfeng into a passage on the side; After a while, they encountered several low-level gold-eating ants, no bigger than a fist. They were burned to ashes by a fireball from Lu Yunfeng in front of them.
After walking another three to five miles, in the dark cave, gold-eating ants were crawling everywhere. When they saw Lu Yunfeng and his party, they went crazy and directly attacked in a group. Fortunately, everyone was not an easy person, and the real fire spread in a large area. The low-level gold-eating ants couldn't withstand it at all. Even so, the gold-eating ants were still besieging them in an endless stream.
Everyone showed no pity at all, and used their own methods to continue moving forward along the cave passage. After another seven or eight miles, they stopped. Yi Yuan sensed: There was a huge one nine miles away in front of them. In the cave space, a pure gold gold-eating ant lies in the middle. Its half-foot-long body, its breath swells every time it breathes in and out. It is a gold-eating ant in the Nascent Soul stage, and under its body A large piece of ground is glittering with gold, and around it are more than a dozen golden elixir-stage gold-eating ants, guarding the surrounding cave passages.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunfeng glanced around the crowd and briefly explained the situation; a group of people also looked at each other in silence. Although they were lucky, they could not break into the gold-eating ants' nest at will. The gold-eating ants in the golden elixir stage had to deal with It's troublesome enough to get up, not to mention there are gold-eating ants in the Nascent Soul stage. With their cultivation level, they can just deliver food.
"Yi Yuan, are you sure you can get rid of the land gold by yourself?" Lu Yunfeng said secretly.
Yi Yuan thought for a moment and replied quietly: "I'll give it a try. Even if I can't get it, escaping shouldn't be a big problem."
Lu Yunfeng nodded without leaving a trace, and led everyone back the way they came. If they went further, they would startle the gold-eating ants in the Nascent Soul stage, and they would be in big trouble.
On the way, Yi Yuan randomly found an excuse and disappeared behind everyone. Before leaving, he secretly told Shangguan Xue that his behavior could not be hidden from Shangguan Xue.
The cave was dark without any light. Yi Yuan restrained his breath and kept going deep inside. When he encountered low-level gold-eating ants, he did not show his breath and the gold-eating ants could not detect him. In his perception: Cao Weibo relied on With the sharpness of the demonic energy, he easily approached the depths of the underground cave, chose an inconspicuous passage, and began to drill holes downwards continuously. As he waved his hands, the speed was incredibly fast, and the extremely slight sound was heard among the many food items. It is difficult to detect among the hissing sounds of golden ants.
"Cao Weibo reacts really quickly. As soon as he discovered the gold, he already thought of a countermeasure. Although this method of stealing is old-fashioned, it should be the best one so far."
Yi Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, moved over quietly, and followed him into the hole dug by Cao Weibo, hiding his figure.
With ready-made free labor to open the road, it would not make much sense for Yi Yuan to open a tunnel. What's more, robbing the gold-eating ants in the Nascent Soul stage would be as smooth as robbing the casual cultivator Cao Weibo? He has a deep understanding.
