"After the mining is completed, I will give you five thousand fairy stones as a reward..."
Li Heng said.
Xiao Nuo, Yan Ying, Chu Yiyang and others couldn't help but look at each other, with a trace of surprise on their faces.
Ye Suhe asked casually: "What is the fairy stone?"
This is also what everyone is curious about.
Li Heng smiled: "This..."
Then, he took out a shiny jade and handed it over.
Xiao Nuo took it. The jade was about the size of a pigeon egg and was flat and oval in shape.
It was shiny, and there seemed to be pure spiritual liquid flowing inside.
"Eh..." Yanying's eyes lit up and she said curiously: "This is a bit like the stone I picked up yesterday!"
As she spoke, Yanying took out the stones she picked up yesterday.
The stone is about the size of a thumb, and it is also crystal clear and contains rich spiritual energy.
Li Heng glanced at the stone in Yanying's hand, smiled and said, "This is also an immortal stone, but it's just a fragment!"
Yanying nodded: "That's it!"
Li Heng continued to explain: "Immortal stones can be used as currency, and they can also be used as consumables to obtain spiritual power... In Immortal Road, you can exchange immortal stones for other cultivation resources, and it is equivalent to your money..."
Xiao Nuo nodded, and then returned the fairy stone in his hand to Li Heng.
"How long will it take for you to finish mining?"
"It won't take long, at most twenty days!" Li Heng said.
He paused and then said: "Brother Xiao Nuo, to be honest, the price we gave is actually very fair. If you think it is less, I can mention it to the leader and give you a little more!"
Xiao Nuo smiled, raised his hand slightly and said, "No, just do as Brother Li Heng said!"
Li Heng's eyes lit up, and he clasped his hands in his hands: "In that case, thank you Brother Xiao Nuo and everyone for your help. You should prepare first. I will come over and notify you to go to the mining area!"
Xiao Nuo nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
Immediately, Li Heng left first.
After the other party left, everyone couldn't help but start scratching their heads.
"Isn't five thousand fairy stones a bit too little? There are so many of us, and the average price is only two to three hundred yuan!" Li Tingfei said.
"A lot..." Yu Yuanhui, the fifth-generation God of War of the Mortal Immortal Holy Academy, said: "The value of immortal stones is still very high, especially for monks who have entered the emperor level. The spiritual energy contained in a piece of immortal stone can be used well. How many days! Two to three hundred fairy stones, under normal circumstances, can be used for a long time, and can also be exchanged for a lot of resources!"
"Really or not? I don't study well, don't lie to me!" Li Tingfei turned to look at Yu Yuanhui.
The latter rolled his eyes: "We are all in the same group, why should I help outsiders deceive my own people?"
"makes sense!"
After all, everyone has just arrived, and to be honest, they don’t have a clear idea of the value of the “immortal stone”.
There were two reasons why Xiao Nuo agreed to Li Heng. The first reason was that he wanted to stay a few more days. After all, if he stayed here, he could ask Li Heng about anything. If he left, he could only explore slowly;
The second reason is to repay Li Heng for taking in him yesterday.
Although it is not a particularly big favor, for Xiao Nuo, who must repay a favor, he will naturally not refuse it if he can help.
"Then stay for a while longer! There is no better place to go now!" Xiao Nuo said.
Everyone nodded and immediately said no more.
After a while, Li Heng came back. After asking Xiao Nuo and his party if they were ready, he led the team out of the camp.
Later, everyone arrived at the mining area.
The mining area is located inside a valley and is surrounded by rolling mountains.
"Brother Xiao Nuo, someone needs to be strictly guarded in all four directions of the mining area. You are responsible for the area between the west and the south. No matter day or night, someone always needs to patrol this area. Once any problems are discovered, , inform us immediately..."
Li Heng took out a map of the mining area and pointed back and forth at the two areas on it.
Xiao Nuo nodded: "I understand!"
Li Heng smiled. Although he and Xiao Nuo had just met, and Xiao Nuo was also very young, Li Heng felt that the other person was a very stable person.
"Well, you guys first get familiar with the surrounding terrain, and I'll make arrangements for other places."
"Yeah!" Xiao Nuo agreed.
Immediately, Li Heng led the team in the other direction of the valley.
An Ying was walking next to Li Heng with a long bow and quiver on her back, her face full of dissatisfaction.
"Brother Li Heng, if you hand over such an important task to a group of outsiders, are they reliable? Send more people to stay there!"
Li Heng replied: "It's okay, I think Brother Xiao Nuo is trustworthy!"
"Isn't it? We just met yesterday. You know people but don't know their hearts! Even I understand such a simple truth!" An Ying curled her lips.
Li Heng smiled slightly: "Don't worry! I will visit him from time to time."
An Ying was still a little uneasy. She said, "It's better to call all the leaders here. I don't trust these people much anyway."
Li Heng said: "The leader must stay in the camp. He cannot leave except under special circumstances."
"Why?"
"Of course we are guarding the home! Think about it, if the enemy takes advantage of the situation and steals our camp, where will there be so many of us?"
"This... okay!" An Ying was speechless.
"Don't think so much. We really don't have enough manpower this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't ask Brother Xiao Nuo and the others. Since they are willing to help, don't be suspicious."
"knew!"
An Ying said nothing more. Although she still had doubts about Xiao Nuo and his party, there was really no better way at the moment.
After Li Heng's arrangements are completed, the mining work will begin immediately.
As time passed, a mine similar to a well gradually appeared in the center of the valley.
The entrance to the mine faces the sky, exuding a dark atmosphere.
And below the mine, there are deeper passages.
Li Heng and An Ying are gaining something every day, and the smiles on their faces are becoming richer and richer day by day.
As for Xiao Nuo, he focused on his own mission.
Patrols are conducted continuously every day according to the route provided by Li Heng.
"Boring..." Li Tingfei stood under a big tree and chopped off the leaves with his knife in boredom.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several rays of knife light flashed through, and more than a dozen leaves were neatly sliced through.
Chu Yiyang said calmly: "You don't have to do any work, and you can still receive immortal stones. How can it be boring?"
Li Tingfei said: "It's just boring if you don't have to do anything. I want to find a fight!"
As he spoke, Li Tingfei pointed his sword at Yu Yuanhui, Yu Wanning, Guan Rengui and others not far away.
"Does anyone want to fight with me?"
No one was too lazy to pay attention.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Li Tingfei picked up the long knife and said: "Forget it, I'll go on patrol!"
"Hey, it's not your turn yet! Next, I and Yu Wanning from Taiyi Star Palace will go on patrol..." Yin Fengxi expressed dissatisfaction.
Li Tingfei turned his sword and pointed it at Yin Fengxi: "Do you have any objections? I tell you, I will handle all your patrol tasks!"
Yin Fengxi was speechless. Looking at Li Tingfei's domineering eyes, Yin Fengxi hesitated to speak.
"Okay! I'll give it to you, Brother Domineering!"
"Hmph!" Li Tingfei snorted and walked directly into the depths of the jungle.
On a mountain peak in the southwest,
Xiao Nuo sat alone on the edge of a cliff.
From this place, you can overlook most of the outer areas of the valley.
Once there is any movement, Xiao Nuo can observe it immediately.
Coupled with the continuous patrolling by others, this area can be said to be watertight.
"Uh-huh!"
A ray of emerald green light fell from the sky, and then landed behind Xiao Nuo.
"Xiao Nuo, it's so boring, everyone can't stand it anymore!" Yanying said.
Xiao Nuo smiled: "Don't worry, it will be over in a few days."
Yanying nodded lightly. Just as she was about to go and sit down next to Xiao Nuo, suddenly, another figure flashed down.
"Uh-huh!"
The visitor was carrying a long bow and quiver and dressed in light clothing. It was An Ying.
"It's quite leisurely!" An Ying said with a hint of yin and yang in her words.
Yanying replied: "We patrol in turns, and there is no break in the middle. Are you going to deduct wages?"
An Ying sneered: "If it were me, I would really want to deduct your wages!"
After a pause, An Ying continued: "Brother Li Heng asked me to inform you that you can return to the camp in half an hour!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Xiao Nuo's eyes: "Isn't it going to take twenty days?"
According to Li Heng, the mining work will take twenty days, and only about half a month has passed now.
An Ying replied: "This time it went smoothly and it was completed ahead of schedule!"
"That's it!" Xiao Nuo nodded immediately: "I understand."
"Yeah!" An Ying responded lukewarmly, then turned around.
Before leaving, she whispered in a low voice: "I just said that Brother Li Heng is too cautious. It doesn't matter if you want these people or not. It's better this time. You didn't do anything and lost five thousand immortal stones..."
After saying that, An Ying flew away.
Obviously, she felt that these five thousand immortal stone flowers were not worth it, and they were very worthless.
Obviously nothing happened, it was all because Li Heng was too cautious.
Xiao Nuo and Yan Ying naturally heard An Ying's complaints. They looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.
We were leaving soon anyway, so there was nothing to say.
"Let's meet everyone!" Xiao Nuo stood up.
Yanying nodded obediently: "Okay!"
However, at this moment...
"Boom!" A cold wind suddenly swept through the world. Immediately afterwards, the color of the world changed and the mountains shook. Then, a powerful aura shrouded the sky above the valley...
Yanying frowned and looked at Xiao Nuo nervously: "Xiao Nuo..."
Xiao Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "This is not an accident, but it is an accident."
