Mammy rolled her eyes at him: "Well, it's a good treasure. It's for female cultivators at first glance. Leave it to one of your well-behaved female apprentices!"
Zhao Beiqing laughed loudly: "Ah Jing, Ah Jing, I am fighting to the death on the demon battlefield, where can I find a female apprentice?"
Without waiting for Mammy to retort, he continued: "Didn't you just say that there is an empty stone in the cave? Let's go down and have a look."
"I won't go!" Grandma shook her head: "I can't throw pebbles outside anymore."
"It's such a big deal, take one piece in with you," Zhao Beiqing said mysteriously, "I'll let you see what this dagger is capable of later."
Mammy had a guess in her mind, her curiosity aroused, and she no longer hesitated.
Yang Zhen's whole body has warmed up. She was treated with magic by her grandma just now. Her body is no longer seriously injured. He insists on leaving by himself. The two elders followed him, with Zhao Beiqing in front, him in the middle, and Nanny last. The three of them re-entered the cave one after another.
This time they were familiar with the road, and after a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the place where Mammy and Yu Shan were digging stones.
The poisonous smoke had already been taken away by Zhu Baixing, and Yushan's headless body was still lying there. Mammy sighed and took out the storage bag to put it away.
Zhao Beiqing activated his magic power, and in a moment, the dagger glowed with a green light, which reflected the faces of the three people in green, making it look weird in the darkness.
Zhao Beiqing placed the dagger in the palm of his hand, calmed down and waited patiently.
Soon, I saw the dagger shaking all over and making a subtle trembling sound, like an insect flapping its wings and ready to fly.
Suddenly, the dagger made a hissing sound and flew towards a certain direction of the stone wall. It soon penetrated into the soil a few inches deep, while the remaining part outside kept shaking.
Zhao Beiqing pulled out the dagger, stretched out two fingers and pointed it at the place where it was inserted, and activated his magic power. After a while, the soil on it fell one after another, and a thin and long hole gradually formed.
A pebble-sized stone blocked the pit from going deeper.
Zhao Beiqing let go of the dagger and re-injected mana. The dagger flew out again and hit the stone directly.
Zhao Beiqing smiled broadly, stretched out his hand to grab the stone, weighed it in his hand, and handed it to grandma: "Looking at the size, it should be a low-grade Kongming Stone, probably worth five or six medium-grade spiritual stones."
"Not enough!" Mammy didn't appreciate it: "My third-level high-quality talisman is worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones. I'll suffer a big loss tonight."
"Isn't it just 10,000 spirit stones?" Zhao Beiqing said nonchalantly: "Tonight, my uncle... my brother will be a miner and dig out the Kongming Stone for my family, A Jing, for one night. I will definitely help you earn back your capital with profits!"
"Don't beg for it, I'm not your Jing." Grandma rolled her eyes, but her mouth was full of smiles.
Yang Zhen looked at it with amusement. You two sprinkled dog food, didn't you notice that there were children around you?
Zhao Beiqing laughed heartily and began to work hard.
He followed the same method, but his speed was more than twice as fast as before, and after a while he dug out several more rocks of similar size.
The pothole was getting bigger and bigger, and the excess soil was packed in storage bags. After filling seven or eight bags, the ancestor of the Zifu worked tirelessly and ran outside the cave to empty the bags, then quickly turned back and continued Mining.
Grandma was not idle either, helping to clean the potholes.
The hard work paid off, and they finally dug out a stone as big as a human head. According to this amount, the Kongming Stone inside should be the size of a fist, and its value is the same as the one Qin Wan bid for, at least 40,000 spiritual stones.
Grandma's brows were filled with joy, and she happily put the stone into her bag.
In this way, some more were dug out, but there was only one piece the size of a human head. Zhao Beiqing also ran back and forth out of the cave more than a dozen times.
"It seems that this one is the mother body of this piece, and we dug it out." He lamented: "I guess the rest are just small stones. Let's move to another place."
The three of them exited the pit and continued to explore deeper. Under the guidance of the dagger, they quickly determined a new location and continued digging.
Yang Zhen saw it interestingly, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What's so strange about this dagger, and why was the Kongming Stone discovered?"
Zhao Beiqing was in a happy mood with the beauty by his side. Even as a mortal child, he was happy to serve as a role model for others.
While digging the soil, he explained:
"Kongming Stone is also known as Zhenyu. Zhen means gathering. The characteristic of Kongming Stone is that it gathers together. It is often found in a large area..."
"Of course, its essence is that those large matrixes will affect the surrounding stones. Over the long years, the void stones will gradually evolve inside them..."
"However, the Kongming Stone does have the effect of gathering, attracting some special space magic tools. The world of immortal cultivation has taken advantage of this feature to specially create such space magic tools to find the Kongming Stone..."
"This dagger has another name, Miyu, which means looking for Zhenyu. It looks like a first-level magic weapon, but its actual value is no less than a fourth-level magic weapon. Now this kind of refining of this kind of magic weapon is The skills have long been lost, and this kind of treasure is becoming increasingly rare..."
"When the people from the county guard come tomorrow, this mine and this treasure cannot be hidden from anyone, and they have to be handed over to the sect. So now we can dig as much as we can. After passing this village, there will be no store like this, haha!"
…
By the time they dug out a piece of Kongming Stone the size of a human head again, it was already bright outside. The sect's resident disciples in Zhu's hometown finally arrived belatedly and reported the situation here using paper cranes to the Juoxi County Hall, who in turn reported to the county official. It wasn't until noon that a spaceship finally arrived from Junguan, with about ten people standing on it.
At this time, Zhao Beiqing had dug out the third medium-grade Kongming Stone, and dozens of smaller stones. The two finally reluctantly stopped working, walked out of the cave, and met the visitors from the county guard.
The leader of the Jun Guan is an elderly monk from Eguan Bodhisattva. This man's surname is Mao, his Taoist name is Tongyuan, he has the strength in the late stage of foundation building, and he is the master of the Shuyang Jun Guan.
This man was standing on the bow of the ship, directing his men to collect Zhu Baixing's body and record the traces of the battle everywhere. When he saw Zhao Beiqing, Master Zifu of the sect, coming out, he quickly jumped off the bow of the boat and came over to greet him.
Afterwards, Mammy told what happened last night. Zhao Beiqing already knew what should be said and what should not be said. The two of them had already summed it up.
According to Mammy, she and Yu Shan had long suspected the Zhu family, and Yang Zhen remembered that she was lost in the phantom formation when she was a child, so she brought them here. Later, he met the ancestor of the Zhu family and the eldest elder. The two sides fought, and Yu Shan unfortunately died in the battle. Then Zhao Beiqing arrived and killed Zhu Baitu and so on.
As for the subsequent mining, of course I won't talk about it. I just said that I dug some rocks and planned to go back to find out.
Mao Tongyuan is not the kind of person who knows good and evil, and of course he will not let them hand over the dug stones. After the two parties settled the matters here, they headed to the mountain gate of the Zhu family together.
Blessings, it’s over.
