Due to the need to clean up, under the guidance of Lu Ping, Lu Yuanshan used the Golden Crow Sword to dig into the mine veins and explore the traces of the two mineral creatures.
This process was so simple that in only about half an hour, Lu Yuanshan dug a passage directly to the mine creature's lair and saw these two creatures.
This is the appearance of a two-headed creature, very similar to a fire spirit, but in a half-human form.
Their appearance has evolved to a humanoid shape, with clear facial features, but their expressions are very honest, and they look harmless to humans and animals.
The whole body is exuding flames, and the main body is condensed from fire stones, possessing the strength of the eighth and ninth levels of Qi training.
After seeing Lu Yuanshan's arrival, the two flaming creatures immediately launched an attack on Lu Yuanshan, hoping to eliminate the intruder.
Lu Yuanshan's attack was completely innocent and he directly hit one of the flaming creatures.
Whoops!
The attack of this flaming creature was very simple and clear. It opened its mouth and spit out, and the flames in its mouth were condensed, and a heat wave was ejected, forming a line of flames, which was thrown towards Lu Yuanshan in one fell swoop.
Before it even approached, the blazing high temperature swept over, making Lu Yuanshan feel hot.
Facing such an attack, it was easy for Lu Yuanshan to resist.
He performed a simple move, and when he waved his sleeves, he rolled out a powerful flow of mana, sweeping away the wave of flames from the bedding and scattering them in all directions.
These flames are not ordinary fires. After contacting the surrounding rock walls, they will burn and melt the stones.
"cut!"
Lu Yuanshan let out a low roar, activated the Golden Crow Sword, and slashed out with one strike.
The power of this sword made it impossible for the nearest flaming creature to escape, and was beheaded with a bang.
The Golden Crow Sword then turned around in the air, and with its remaining power unabated, it slashed at another flaming creature.
Facing Lu Yuanshan's attack, this flaming creature used its magical power to control the surrounding gravel and condense it into a solid stone wall, blocking it in front of it, hoping to block the attack.
However, this is of course useless.
The Golden Crow Sword was as powerful as breaking a bamboo, cutting through the stone wall with great force, cutting it into two halves.
Wow!
Lu Yuanshan moved, used the light body technique, turned into an afterimage, and teleported in front of Huoyao Creature.
A palm shot out, hitting the opponent's head directly.
The other party's expression has not changed, or it can be said that he has just evolved to this level and cannot show the expression on his face, so he has a paralyzed look on his face.
It wanted to resist, but its speed was far inferior to Lu Yuanshan.
The next moment, his head was slapped to pieces by Lu Yuanshan and exploded.
The headless body also crashed to the ground.
After finishing dealing with the two Huoyao creatures, Lu Yuanshan put their bodies into the storage bag. These were materials that could be used to refine magic weapons, so there was no reason to waste them.
Next, he explored the surrounding area.
It is worth mentioning that there is a chance that an ore called Huoyao Gold Crystal will be born in the lair of Huoyao Creatures.
This type of ore is bred by fire creatures and condenses the essence of fire stone. It will take at least a hundred years to take shape.
Lu Ping followed on one side, and after a brief inspection, he discovered the existence of Huoyao Jinjing.
The flaming gold crystal here is about the size of a fist.
Even though it is only of such a small size, in fact, the value of the Huoyao Jinjing of this small size is not low.
Equivalent to about 60,000 spirit stones.
Apart from the Fire Golden Crystal, there are no other treasures.
However, the purpose of this trip is to kill this flaming creature, not to hunt for treasure.
After eliminating the hidden dangers here, in the next few days, Lu Yuanshan began to summon mortals to mine this vein.
Since Qingshan Sect itself has experience in mining fire source stone veins and has no shortage of manpower for mining, Lu Yuanshan directly dispatched some manpower from the fire source stone veins to be responsible for mining the fire source stone veins.
Xu Yi, as the guardian, guarded the boundary of this mineral vein.
After several days of mining, the first batch of fire stones were quickly mined.
The value of a fire stone, the size of a fist, is worth a hundred spiritual stones.
Another function of it is to provide for spiritual practice.
As long as there are spiritual root monks with the three attributes of gold, fire and wood, they can use this fire stone to assist their practice.
With the mining of Huoyao Stone, the existence of this vein will naturally become known to the outside world.
The first person to learn the news was Tianshu Academy.
Tianshu Academy's intelligence organization is very developed and spreads all over the Chu Kingdom and even every corner of Lingxi Prefecture.
After learning that a fourth-level mineral vein had been unearthed in the Heming Mountains, Tianshu Academy sent people to pay attention to the mineral vein and observed it for a few days.
Fortunately, the Tianshu Yuan family has a great business and is backed by Beidou Division, so they have not shown any interest in this mineral vein.
There are more than a dozen known mineral veins under Tianshu Academy.
Among them, there are six fourth-level mineral veins.
Tianshu Yuan tacitly approved the Qingshan Sect's mining of this mineral vein and had no intention of intervening.
Following Tianshu Academy is Jiuhan Mountain.
Although he knew that the Qingshan Sect had discovered this mineral vein, Liu Qiumei did not report the news back to Jiuhan Mountain and inform Ancestor Jiang.
The news was sent by Lu Yuanshan on his own initiative.
At Lu Ping's suggestion, Lu Yuanshan took the initiative to contact Tianshu Academy.
Following Liu Qiumei, he met with Ancestor Jiang and expressed his desire to jointly mine this vein with Jiuhan Mountain. Ancestor Jiang quickly responded.
"If you want Jiuhan Mountain to cooperate with the Qingshan Sect to mine the flaming stone veins, you only need the Qingshan Sect to divide 50% of the interests in the mineral veins, and then the matter will be accomplished."
Ancestor Jiang’s answer was very simple.
It means it’s split 50-50.
After learning about Patriarch Jiang's request, Lu Yuanshan was a little surprised.
Because in his mind, he planned to give at least 60% of the profits to Jiuhan Mountain.
After all, according to Lu Ping, the reason for wooing Jiuhanshan to join in mining the veins this time is also very simple.
That is, they want Jiuhan Mountain to be a backer, or ally, to strengthen the Qingshan Sect.
In this way, Jiuhan Mountain and the Qingshan Sect unite to mine the mineral veins. If outside forces want to exploit the mineral veins, they must first weigh their own strength to see whether they can deal with Jiuhan Mountain and the Qingshan Sect.
The name of Ancestor Jiang from Jiuhan Mountain is as loud as thunder in the Chu Kingdom, making people admire and fear him.
Therefore, I just want Ancestor Jiang to act as a protective umbrella so that Qingshan Sect can have enough confidence to mine the flaming stone veins.
Ancestor Jiang was very thoughtful, so he naturally knew what Lu Ping was thinking and understood Lu Yuanshan's true purpose of coming here, so he acquiesced in cooperating with the Qingshan Sect.
