Qin State, Yuling Sect.
Tianying Peak, Tianying Palace.
Li Hua was sitting in the main seat, and Chen Qingqing was reporting.
"We have now found out the locations of some of Zhao's mineral veins and elixir gardens. If a fight breaks out, we can capture these mineral veins and elixir gardens as quickly as possible."
Chen Qingqing said.
The five sects of Qin wanted to attack the four sects of Zhao and sent spies to collect strategic intelligence.
The four sects of the Zhao State are seriously at odds with each other, and their overall strength is not as good as that of the Qin State. Of course, the Qin State does not want to destroy the Zhao State. After all, the barbarians are the great enemies of the human race. It is the strategy of the five sects of the Qin State to capture some territory and immortal cultivation resources. targets, and the purpose of sending spies is to find out the situation of these strategic targets.
"Didn't the spies return any particularly important information?"
Li Hua asked.
"Not yet. Our intelligence network has been rebuilt. However, we cannot collect important information in a short period of time. It is not easy for intelligence personnel to integrate into the Zhao Kingdom's immortal world."
Chen Qingqing looked troubled.
After Yulingzong's intelligence network was destroyed, it was rebuilt, but the ability to collect intelligence was not as good as before.
"Disciple Shen Long asks to see Master Li."
A loud male voice came from outside.
"Shen Long! Didn't he go to Xuanyinfang City? Why is he back?"
Li Hua said doubtfully and looked at Chen Qingqing.
"I wasn't the one who asked Junior Brother Shen to come back. Maybe his identity was exposed!"
Chen Qingqing said.
"Senior Nephew Shen, come in and talk!"
Li Hua ordered.
Shen Long walked in and bowed.
"Senior Nephew Shen, why did you come back suddenly? Were you exposed?"
Li Hua asked.
"Uncle Li, my disciple has made a major discovery. There is a third-level gold and jade vein in the Qingyun Mountains. This is the approximate distribution map of the vein."
Shen Long took out a piece of green animal skin and handed it to Chen Qingqing.
This is a mine distribution map drawn by the Xu family's children, which gave Shen Long a benefit.
Chen Qingqing handed the map to Li Hua. Li Hua looked confused and asked, "How did you discover the Jin Lang Jade vein?"
Shen Long did not dare to hide anything and told the truth. He did not mention that he had obtained the magic weapon and the Golden Winged Wind Peng. He took out the bodies of Xu Yunfeng and other five foundation-building monks. This was physical evidence.
"Golden Lang Jade vein! Great, I will inform the head brother immediately."
Li Hua said excitedly, took out a communication disk with glittering golden light, and entered a magic formula.
"What happened, Junior Brother Li."
A majestic male voice sounded.
Li Hua told the whole story in detail. If he could win this golden jade mine, it would be a huge fortune.
"I understand. Let Junior Shen have a good rest and don't leave the main forum. You may have to ask him something later."
Chen Xiao ordered.
"Yes, Brother Leader."
Li Hua agreed and put away the interrogation tray.
"Uncle Li, can this disciple's merits make him a Seventy-Two Scholar?"
Shen Long asked, this was the question he was most concerned about.
"If you can capture this golden jade vein, you can become the Seventy-Two Show. Yes, Master Nephew Shen, I didn't expect you to be able to get such important information."
Li Hua showed approval.
Shen Long has made great contributions, and the Intelligence Hall can also benefit from it.
"It's all Master Li who taught me well, and the disciples only did their best."
Shen Long said modestly.
Li Hua admired Shen Long's sensibleness and said, "You go back and rest first. If our sect can capture the Jinlang Jade vein, I recommend you to become the Seventy-Two Talents, but before that, you are not allowed to publicize the Jinlang Jade vein to the outside world." News, even from fellow Taoists."
"Yes, disciple, I obey."
Shen Long agreed. He remembered something and said, "Uncle Li, Liu Shi was killed trying to find out the news. Can you give Liu Yuruo a pension?"
? "
"Yes, the premise is to capture the Jin Lang Jade vein."
Li Hua said.
Shen Long nodded, bowed, and retreated.
"I didn't expect Junior Brother Shen to be so capable. Junior Brother Li has a sharp eye. If it were anyone else, he might not have been able to make such a big discovery."
Chen Qingqing flattered.
Shen Long didn't know what was in the Qingyun Mountains. If he was perfunctory, he could pass the information to the courier, and the courier would pass the information back, and the Yuling Sect would send people to investigate. The time span would be relatively long, and it might be taken by other forces. The Jin Lang Jade vein was discovered.
Li Hua nodded and said with a smile: "I hope I can win this mine!"
The Yuling Sect's intelligence network was taken away by the Hundred Ghost Sect, and Li Hua was disgraced and had to be held accountable. Now Shen Long discovered the Jin Lang Jade vein and successfully regained control.
If the Jin Lang Jade vein can be captured, it won't be a big deal if the intelligence network is intercepted.
After leaving Tianying Peak, Shen Long returned to Qingyun Peak, came to the entrance of Qingcanyuan, and issued a transmission note.
Not long after, the door of Qingcanyuan opened and Lin Cheng walked out. He saw Shen Long with shock on his face.
After not seeing each other for more than ten years, he thought Shen Long was dead!
"Senior Brother Shen, no, Senior Uncle Shen, you are back."
Lin Cheng bowed.
"I went out on a mission and came back not long ago. Are Junior Sister Ye and the others okay?"
Shen Long asked.
Lin Cheng told the truth, Ye Yuqing, Ye Yutang, Qian Dafu and Qin Bao successively entered the foundation building stage and were sent out to perform tasks.
"If you meet them, tell them I'm back and I'm currently living in Qinglian Garden on Tianhu Peak."
Shen Long ordered, took out two cyan porcelain bottles, and said, "These are two bottles of Qi Refining Pills, please accept them! By the way, how is Lin Shan? Has he advanced to the foundation building stage?"
"I'm sorry for your concern, Master Shen. He's very good. He's not Master Shen, he's just at the eighth level of Qi refining."
Lin Cheng said truthfully.
"If he is okay, he can come to Tianhu Peak to find me. I will arrange something for him to do and I won't treat him badly."
Shen Long ordered.
He needs people to inquire about news and collect intelligence, and Lin Shan is a good candidate.
"Yes, thank you for the compliment, Master Shen. I will let him come over tonight. If you have anything to do, just ask, and he will try his best to help Master Shen."
Lin Cheng grinned from ear to ear and looked excited.
There are tens of thousands of Qi Refining monks in the Yuling Sect, and life will be much easier if there is a Foundation Establishing monk to take care of them.
Shen Long gave a few instructions, left Qingcanyuan, came to the entrance of Qingtao Yard, and issued a transmission note.
Not long after, the courtyard door opened and Sun Sen walked out.
He felt Shen Long's powerful spiritual pressure, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he quickly bowed and saluted, saying, "Disciple pays homage to Master Shen."
"Senior Brother Sun, you're welcome. I've been out for a while for something and I just came back today."
Shen Long said with a smile.
"Master Shen is joking, disciples dare not treat themselves as peers."
Sun Sen said respectfully.
"I currently live in Qinglian Garden on Tianhu Peak. You can come to Qinglian Garden to have tea with me. If you need my help, just ask. This is a little bit of my kindness, and Senior Nephew Sun can use it."
Shen Long took out two cyan porcelain bottles and handed them to Sun Sen.
He will remember everyone who helped Shen Long.
With his current financial resources and status, taking care of several Qi Refining monks is not a problem.
"Thank you, Master Shen. I would like to thank Master Shen on behalf of Furong."
Sun Sen expressed gratitude and accepted the two cyan porcelain bottles.
After chatting for a while, Shen Long returned to Tianhu Peak and happened to see Wang Yumei walking out of Qinglian Garden.
"Junior Brother Shen, you are back."
Wang Yumei smiled slightly and greeted Shen Long.
"I'm back after finishing my work. Is Senior Sister Wang still planting elixirs?"
Shen Long asked.
"No,
I just picked the elixir. Now that you are back, Qinglianyuan will be returned to you. This is the access token. I have raised some spiritual fish, but they have not been fished yet. If Junior Brother Shen is interested, you can catch some and eat them. "
Wang Yumei returned the token to Shen Long and said enthusiastically.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Wang, for your kindness. I won't touch the spiritual field and fish pond for the time being, but you can clean them up as soon as possible."
Shen Long said.
"Okay, sure, give me seven days, how about it?"
Wang Yumei said.
"Then it doesn't have to be so tight, just a month! Senior Sister Wang can handle it slowly."
Shen Long said.
"Okay, thank you very much, Junior Brother Shen."
Wang Yumei thanked him.
After chatting for a while, Shen Long returned to Qinglian Garden.
Wang Yumei planted a number of spiritual fruit trees, as well as spiritual medicine and spiritual fish.
Shen Long pushed open the door of Qinglian Pavilion and walked in. The ground was covered with dust. It seemed that Wang Yumei did not enter Qinglian Pavilion.
He briefly cleaned it, walked into a secret room, and took out a blue storage bag. The mouth of the bag shook downwards, and a blue glow passed by, revealing a lot of things on the ground.
Shen Long killed more than fifty Xu family monks and obtained more than 90,000 spiritual stones. In terms of spiritual stones alone, he had more than 200,000. He was so fat that he had two magic weapons.
He now has a top-grade magic weapon called Lihuo Banner, twelve top-grade magic tools, three for defense, seven for attack, one for support, one for flying, and a lot of refining materials.
Shen Long flicked his sleeves, and more than 30,000 gold-eating ants flew out, killing Xu Yunfeng and others. More than 2,000 gold-eating ants were lost.
He plans to increase the cultivation of gold-eating ants and increase the number of gold-eating ants so that he can provide more help.
Shen Long took out a batch of weapon refining materials and let the gold-eating ants eat them.
He entered the Royal Spirit Pagoda and fed the fire rock beast, golden-winged wind roc, iron-tailed scorpion, blue-eyed spirit fox, hundred-eyed golden cicada and snow-wind sparrow.
When he exited the Spirit-Making Pagoda, the gold-eating ants had already eaten up all the refining materials. He put the gold-eating ants back into the spirit beast bag, sat down cross-legged, and started practicing.
······
In Zhao State, the Jinzhu Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles, and this is the ancestral land of the Liu family.
A huge castle can be seen deep in the Jinzhu Mountains, with the three characters "Liujia Castle" written on the plaque.
In a secret room, the stone walls are covered with mysterious black runes, and there are gusts of wind. A tall gray-robed old man is sitting cross-legged on a black jade bed. A green-faced and fanged corpse is sitting opposite him, with furry legs. The claws made contact with his palm.
The gray-robed old man's eyes were slightly closed, and his whole body was covered by a black glow.
After a while, a transmission note flew in.
The black glow on the gray-robed old man's body dissipated, he opened his eyes, and took a long breath. He opened his mouth and blew out a black light, hitting the transmission note. The transmission note spontaneously ignited, and a loud man's voice came out: "Old Ancestor , the Xu family discovered a Jin Lang Jade vein in the Qingyun Mountains. According to their preliminary exploration, it is at least a medium-sized vein."
"Medium-sized golden ore vein!"
The old man in gray robe was a little surprised. He quickly took out a communication disk with flashing black light, entered a magic formula, and asked: "Ruixin, what is going on? The Xu family discovered a vein of gold and jade, and they were so kind to report it to us. ?」
"They accidentally leaked the news, and most of the tribesmen stationed at the Jin Lang Jade mine were killed. Only a few Qi Refining monks escaped."
Liu Ruixinhui reports.
"Killed? How many monks did they send to guard the mine?"
The old man in gray robe asked.
Liu Yuguang, in the middle stage of pill formation.
"Five foundation-building monks, more than fifty Qi-refining monks, and second-level formations. The Qi-refining monks who luckily escaped didn't know who the enemy was or how many they had. They were ordered to find a infiltrator. When he came back, he found that most of his clan members had been killed."
Liu Ruixinhui reports.
"Report to the Hyakki Sect!"
Liu Yuguang ordered.
"What? Report to the Hundred Ghost Sect? Ancestor, this is a middle school
Type Jin Lang Jade vein, if we take this mine ourselves, our family will develop faster. "
Liu Ruixin said with some reluctance.
"I know what you are saying. The Qingyun Mountain Range is located on the border between Qin and Zhao. If people from the fifth sect of Qin kill the Xu family monks, if we really go to occupy that mine, wouldn't we have to face Qin? Five sects? To take a step back, it’s not the monks of the Qin Kingdom, but the monks of the Zhao Kingdom. We can’t afford to be alone, so we should report it to the Hundred Ghost Sect! The risk is minimal and the benefits are not small.”
Liu Yuguang analyzed slowly.
"Yes, ancestor, I will notify the Hundred Ghost Sect immediately."
Liu Ruixin agreed.
······
Time flies, half a year has passed quickly.
Tianhu Peak, Qinglian Garden.
Shen Long was sitting in a blue stone pavilion, while Lin Shan, Sun Furong and a thin girl in a white dress stood aside with respectful expressions.
"Lin Shan, I will leave the management of Shen's grocery store to you. Senior Nephew Sun and Senior Nephew Mu, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the information inside and outside the sect."
Shen Long said.
The girl in the white dress is called Mu Bing. She is Sun Furong's cousin and a Qi refining monk.
Shen Long opened a grocery store, mainly selling elixirs, and also purchased materials for refining weapons and elixirs.
Now he is setting up a framework and establishing a group to serve himself. He can devote more energy and time to cultivation and alchemy.
"Yes, Master Shen."
Lin Shan and the other three agreed, looking respectful.
Shen Long's reward is not low, and they are happy to work for Shen Long.
Shen Long took out a communication disk with flashing blue light and typed in a spell. Chen Qingqing's voice sounded: "Junior Brother Shen, come to Tianying Peak immediately. Senior Uncle Li has something to tell you."
"Okay, Senior Sister Chen, I'll be there right away."
Shen Long agreed and put away the interrogation tray.
"Go and get busy!"
Shen Long waved his hand and asked them to retreat.
He released the Snow Wind Bird and walked onto its back.
Snow Wind Bird flapped its wings lightly, and he rose into the sky and flew high into the sky.
Not long after, he came to Tianying Peak and met Li Hua in Tianying Palace.
An old man in golden robes with a fair face sat aside. Judging from his aura, he was also a pill-forming monk.
"Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle Li and Master He."
Shen Long bowed and looked respectful.
"Master Nephew Shen knows me?"
The old man in golden robe said with some surprise.
"Disciple has heard of Master Uncle He."
Shen Long replied.
The old man in golden robe is He Xin, the head of the Deacon Hall of Yuling Sect, and he has great power. Shen Long has never met He Xin and heard Qian Dafu mention He Xin many times.
"Senior Nephew Shen, I have two pieces of good news for you. Our sect has successfully obtained the Jin Lang Jade vein. According to the order of Senior Brother, you have been successfully selected for the Seventy-Two Show. Junior Brother He is here to help you with the procedures."
Li Hua was all smiles.
"Among the new disciples, you are the fastest to be selected into the Seventy-Two Shows. Congratulations! Master Nephew Shen, please continue your efforts and make greater contributions in the future. This is your new benefit."
He Xin said, taking out a golden storage bag and handing it to Shen Long.
