Half a month later, on the top of the mountain where Yang Zhen once stood, a woman wearing a blue shirt and feathers and apricot-yellow silk was looking at him with a smile:
"Junior Brother Yang, congratulations!"
"Same joy," Yang Zhen said humbly, her face flushed, "This is God's favor for our Yunxiao Sect. I just happened to meet him and got a little glory."
"This light is not small," Shuihong smacked his lips: "With a reserve of one billion spiritual stones, why can't I get such light?"
"Senior sister is joking, which part of the Lingshi mineral deposits in Daxu is not under the jurisdiction of Baoyuan Palace?" Yang Zhen said with a smile: "Senior sister's head is really filled with great blessings and radiant light!"
"Bah, you're glib," Shuihong spat lightly, with some self-pity in his joy: "I, the master of Baoyuan Hall, have always been extremely poor. If it weren't for the five hundred thousand contribution points you gave me this time, The treasure I was interested in was almost snatched away by Dai from the Alchemy Academy, hum!"
"Fifty thousand contribution points, I'd like to invite my senior sister to help me fulfill my great ambition. I'd like to express my gratitude to you!" Yang Zhen said in thanks.
Zhao Yue'er stood aside and watched the two chatting happily.
Their conversation mentioned two things.
One of them is a small wish that Yang Zhen made when she was the owner of a restaurant in Wushui County:
Build a magnificent bridge across the Wushui River.
This was a wish he had solemnly made. Although it was not a grand wish, once it was realized, it would be of great benefit to the stability of his Taoist heart and his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth in the future.
But at that time, he was still just practicing Qi, and there were often less than 10,000 spiritual stones in the space. This wish seemed very far away.
Just ten years later, Yang Zhen finally had the capital to realize this wish.
Contribute points!
He took out all the millions of contribution points he received for hunting down Zhou Yuan and hired Shuihong and Dou Xichang. One of them was good at water and the other was proficient in earth. Jindan masters worked with each other. In the past few days, Finished the project.
Another thing is the spirit stone mine at your feet.
According to the rules of the Yunxiao Sect, any mineral deposits in Xu State are owned by the sect. Therefore, after it was discovered that there was a spirit stone mine here, Baoyuan Palace quickly sent people to find out and estimate its approximate reserves.
The final measured data was astonishing. The reserve capacity was over one billion. It was truly a super-large spirit stone mine.
So Shuihong finished her business in Wushui County and hurried over to deal with this matter.
Under the auspices of the master of Baoyuan Hall, the sect auctioned the mining rights through bidding, and Yang Zhen, who had the priority, won it in one fell swoop.
Of course, those powerful aristocratic families did not raise their bids too much during the bidding because of the secret reminder from the ancestor of the Golden Pill.
According to the agreement reached by both parties, within the first sixty years, the annual output of the spiritual mine is controlled at one thousandth of the reserves, which is about one million spiritual stones. Forty percent of the income goes to Chunan County, and 60% goes to the sect. The latter also includes the cost of renting the condensed magic circle, etc.
This means that Yang Zhen's annual income from this alone is close to 400,000 spirit stones.
The newly entrusted territory has such a huge income. Although Shuihong is the ancestor of Jindan and earns a lot of money every year, he still can't help but feel jealous!
…
Shortly after Shuihong left, Yang Zhen immediately organized his men, including some of the prisoners captured in Daye Country, to build a spirit stone workshop in a bold manner.
For example, opening two passages leading thousands of feet underground, one in and one out, and digging and installing various forks and formations along the way;
Arrange several false entrances and various warning arrays on the ground;
As well as setting up condensation formations, digging corridors, arranging management personnel, etc.
Almost half a month later, all the projects were completed.
Deep underground, in a cave dozens of feet high, more than a dozen people worked in three shifts, taking turns to condense the spiritual stones.
They are all prisoners, but Yang Zhen promised that as long as they abide by the rules, they will be freed within one to three years.
With the fall of Daye Kingdom, these people will sooner or later need to find another force to seek refuge with. Yang Zhen believed that through the combination of kindness and power over the past few years, most of them would eventually join her sect.
After everything was ready, he began to look for the Yin Yang moss.
…
In the long and narrow corridor, the old Taoist with a few strands of rat whiskers on his chin directed several foundation-building disciples to take off several spirit beast bags from their waists.
When the bag was opened, white light flashed, and rats as big as fists jumped out. After a few "chichichi" sounds, they scattered and got into various cracks and caves.
This is a spirit-seeking rat. After training, it can search for all kinds of spiritual things, including yin and yang moss.
After all the hundreds of demon rats disappeared, the old Taoist gently twirled his beard with a look of longing on his face, then turned his head and saluted the young man standing behind him:
"Shen Bobiao has met the young master."
"Fellow Daoist Shen," Yang Zhen nodded and praised: "Fellow Daoist Shen's ability to control beasts has opened my eyes. If you can successfully find the spirit moss this time, I will mark your contribution. When this matter is over, I will You are allowed to return to your hometown to visit your daughter."
After Shen Bobiao entered the bluestone space, he soon revealed that he was quite accomplished at controlling animals. Yang Zhen happened to have plans to build a beast garden in the space, so she entrusted him with the matter.
In the past two years, this person has worked hard to keep the animal garden in order, and gradually won the trust of the young man.
Then Yang Zhen learned from him that this man actually had a daughter with three spiritual roots, who was also practicing at Shenyi Sect and had already reached the early stage of foundation building.
Shen Bobiao's old face suddenly lit up with joy, and he said in a trembling voice: "Thank you young master! Xiaofa, I swear, after seeing my daughter, I will definitely persuade her to defect to the young master. If she doesn't obey, I will tie her up even if she is kidnapped." ! I will never dare to reveal any of the young master’s secrets!”
Yang Zhen waved her hand: "There's no need to force anyone to do anything. If your love doesn't want to, it doesn't matter if she stays at the Divine Will Gate. You just need to be careful not to mention space when talking to her, and you'll be fine."
"How can that be done?" Shen Bobiao said with a blushing face: "Young Master is not only very kind to me, but Anping Town is also the holy land that we and other immortal cultivators dream of. In fact, I have a little selfish intention, hoping to find a way for my daughter. A better future, and I hope that the young master will not shut out my daughter, haha!"
This actually means something else. Yang Zhen heard him mention more than once how beautiful his daughter was, how well-behaved and obedient she was, etc., but she couldn't guess what he was thinking.
He had no interest in it. He already has Yue'er, Qin Mingyue, Qing Xiaoling, Caiyun and others, as well as Mu Zixue, whose relationship is uncertain. He is already satisfied and never wants to provoke any more women.
So he chuckled and did not continue the topic.
…
Three days later, all the spirit rats returned, but there was no news that any of them had brought back spirit moss.
Shen Bobiao looked frustrated.
Yang Zhen comforted him, but also wondered:
"Hundreds of spirit-seeking rats, for three days and three nights, have traveled through underground passages for dozens of miles. How could they find nothing?"
Could it be that Qin Mingyue's memory is wrong?
No way! This spiritual mine is proof.
As a last resort, Yang Zhen had to go to Qin in person and invite Qin Mingyue over.
Facts have proved that there is no problem with the remaining memory of the fragment of Gouxie's soul.
When Qin Mingyue centered on the core of the spiritual mine and closed her eyes to meditate, the path she had taken back then slowly emerged in her mind.
Not long after, the empress, who was familiar with driving, led everyone to an underground pool.
"It's right here." Qin Mingyue said.
Yang Zhen looked around and was surprised to find that the layout here was almost the same as the cave in Hubeiling.
He had a clear understanding in his heart, and his consciousness swept around, and he soon found a deep cave two hundred steps away.
It is also exactly the same as Hubeiling.
However, when I probed with my spiritual sense, the cave wall was empty, and there was no sign of Yin Yang moss at all.
Yang Zhen's face darkened, she quickly came to the cave and reached out to touch the cave wall.
Mud on your hands!
This is a kind of soil that is as loose as rice grains, moist and soft!
Like earthworm droppings.
Everyone's expressions changed.
