Lin Churan took Qin Fan into Kunlun Mountain.
The towering Kunlun Mountains and the vast Qinghai Plain.
This mountain is like a giant dragon lying down, roaring towards the sky.
According to legend, this is the residence of gods and the place where the Queen Mother of the West attained enlightenment. Therefore, according to old legend, the Yaochi is also here.
It has been repeatedly recorded in ancient books that strange people were found in the Kunlun Mountains, who could swallow clouds and spit out mist, absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and eat the essence of the sun and the moon.
There are also strange beasts looking at the moon and roaring. On some special nights, all beasts even surrender and worship, as if there are immortal gods living in the mountains.
In short, in the history of the Dragon Kingdom, Kunlun Mountain has always been known as the ancestor of thousands of mountains and the dragon vein of the ancient country. It exudes a mysterious atmosphere and exists like a taboo.
There is a bright path under their feet. You must know that it was inaccessible before, but now a road has been stepped on. I don’t know how many people go to and from Kunlun Mountain.
Along the way, there are all kinds of people.
There are girls with heavy makeup, well-dressed urban white-collar workers, strong men, an old man in his sixties... and most exaggeratedly, there are children of seven or eight years old.
In their hands, some were holding engineer shovels purchased by a certain treasure, while others were holding hammers, shovels and other tools, with crazy looks on their faces.
"Didn't you say that not everyone can go in and mine?" Qin Fan asked doubtfully, what happened to these people?
Lin Churan looked at these people with some pity: "They can't enter the real mining area, they are just trying their luck on the edge."
"After all, no one is not tempted by the conditions offered by the people in the Beidou Star Territory. Even if you can't practice, you can still exchange them for urgently needed things as long as you dig out the spiritual stones."
"That old man seems to be seriously ill at first glance. If we can dig out some spiritual stone mines, we can exchange spiritual pills with people in the Beidou Star Region to save our lives."
"Those white-collar workers may be looking for a beauty pill or something to keep their youth."
"Those children may have come by themselves, or they may have been brought here by adults. Many of their families are mining, and their food and accommodation are in the mountains. This situation is not uncommon."
Qin Fan finally understood why the look of pity in Lin Churan's eyes came from.
People have been driven crazy by the conditions offered by the Beidou Star Territory.
Some people with cultivation talents were accepted as disciples by the three major forces in the Beidou Star Territory, and their status was like a meteoric rise.
This group of people not only completed the change in status, but also gained powerful power.
Perhaps, they used to be just ordinary hanging silk workers, or low-level migrant workers. But in the great era of spiritual energy recovery, people with spiritual roots have become their pass to the upper class.
In this way, those who do not have the talent for cultivation must have an imbalance in their hearts.
They must not be reconciled to seeing those beings that they usually regard as hanging threads riding on their heads and shouting at them, taking away the goddess who once belonged to them.
This makes for a spectacular sight.
People who have no talent for cultivation want to rely on mining to exchange things they need with the people in the Beidou Star Territory, either to stay young, to extend their lives, or to change their destiny.
"Now the entire Kunlun Mountains are full of miners like them who come to try their luck." Lin Churan's tone was filled with helplessness.
"They have no idea that out of 100,000 people, it would be difficult for even one person to dig out a spiritual stone."
"However, occasionally a lucky person digs out a spiritual stone, and they will make a big deal about it, and everyone firmly believes that they will be the lucky person."
Qin Fan understands that this is human nature. Just like every boy has a dream to save the earth since childhood. But often when he grows up, he realizes that the whole earth is trying to save him.
Ignoring the gold diggers on the road, the two went straight to the mining area.
Soon, Qin Fan sensed the aura of the barrier and knew he was almost there.
"This is it." Lin Churan stopped and looked at the mining fence made of bamboo poles in front of him and said.
This is still at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, but it is the only way up the mountain. It is surrounded by steep cliffs and cannot be climbed.
Moreover, there are barriers around thousands of miles away, so even practitioners cannot enter quietly.
There was no one around, and the gold diggers seemed to dare not get too close.
Lin Churan whispered in Qin Fan's ear and explained: "The entire Kunlun Mountain mining area has been divided up by the three major forces in the Beidou Star Region. This is the mining area of the Dark Empire."
"Except for those authorized by the Dark Empire, no one else is allowed to enter the mining area."
"If anyone dares to break in, they will be killed by the people of the Dark Empire."
At this time, two young men wearing camouflage uniforms and holding engineer shovels walked towards the simple gate of the mining area.
It is said to be a gate, but it is actually a fence made of several wooden sticks, with people guarding it on both sides.
"For what?"
A young man in black who was responsible for guarding choked and pulled out his sword and shouted loudly.
The two young men in camouflage uniforms were startled, but they still mustered up the courage to shout: "We are going in to dig."
The young man in black who was guarding asked: "Do you have a pass?"
"What kind of pass do you need for mining? Whoever digs is digging!" The young man in camouflage uniform argued, but his voice was much softer.
"Hmph, you dare to come here to mine without a pass, you are looking for death! Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude!" The young man in black shouted angrily, with a arrogant look on his face, clearly a villain who has succeeded.
The young man in camouflage clothes took two steps back, but still did not leave. He shouted to the young man in black guarding him: "If we don't leave, we will go in to mine. This is the Kunlun Mountains of the Dragon Kingdom, and it does not belong to your family!"
"Looking for death!" The young man slashed at them with one sword. Although he was only an inner warrior, he could kill these two ordinary young men very easily.
Two streams of hot blood spilled on the ground, dyeing the stones on the ground red.
Several people who were watching from a distance fled in panic. They were obviously gold prospectors who wanted to enter the mining area without passes.
"Bah, you are a fool!" The young man in black wiped the sword on their clothes and spat, with a look of disgust on his face.
"You two, come here and take the body to the valley to feed the wild dogs!"
He called a few miners and disposed of the two bodies skillfully. It was obviously not the first time he had done this.
Qin Fan frowned: "Is this what people in the Beidou Star Territory call peaceful coexistence?"
Lin Churan said: "The three major forces will show no mercy to those who dare to provoke in the mining area and will directly kill them. The purpose is to shock everyone."
"They take the mining area very seriously. I suspect there may be something deep in the mining area that they value."
Qin Fan glanced at the dark and deep mine and keenly felt the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations coming from inside: "This is indeed a rare spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy is extremely pure. It does not appear to be naturally formed, but rather like The spiritual power after being sacrificed.”
Lin Churan shook his head: "I don't understand this. I was able to go in because I asked an acquaintance to buy a pass."
"Acquaintance? Do you still know their people?" Qin Fan was confused.
