Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 792 Dilemma
Tang Ning, Zhang Ziqing, and Wu Tongming returned to the Tianniu Mountains. As soon as they entered the room, he fell asleep on the stone bed, and was awakened by knocking on the door the next day.

A man standing outside was none other than Xu Mengyuan.

"Senior Brother Xu, why are you here? Please hurry up." Seeing him coming, Tangning knew that something must be up.

"No need, Junior Brother Tang, I'm here for the sake of my apprentice. Are you free now? Let's go to the inn together and talk about it in detail."

"it is good.".

The two of them left the room, the light rose, and after walking for half a day, they arrived at the Lishi Fengjian Inn, Gu Yuanya's residence.

"Master, Senior Xu." Gu Yuanya opened the door and saw the two, her brows brimming with joy.

The three of them entered the inner room and took their seats. Xu Mengyuan said: "The day before yesterday I reported to the master. Regarding the arrangement of the disciples, the master asked me to make my own decision, so I came to discuss with you."

"Now there are two better places to go. One is Huayang Mountain in the city, which is only two to three thousand miles away. There is the vehicle and boat docking station of the headquarters, and it is the place where the seventh team of the fourth brigade is stationed. You can go there As a post, I usually do maintenance inspections for warships occasionally, and sort out the entry and exit records."

"The second place is Fengshui Pavilion, where the sixth team of the second brigade is stationed. There is a high-grade spiritual mine there. It is a bit busy with business, but the income is not bad. You can also get in touch with some local forces and expand your network. .”

"Let's discuss, where do you want to go?"

Gu Yuanya looked at Tangning, "Master, where do you think I should go?"

Tangning thought about it for a while. Gu Yuanya has always been by her side, and she has never been alone. It is not a solution for a long time. She should let her practice alone.

This is not the Qianyi sect, and I am just the lowest disciple, so I can't give her any shelter. Instead of staying in the Huayang Mountains and being isolated from the world, I am with warships all day long.

It's better to go to Fengshui Pavilion and deal with people more, even if she suffers a little loss, it will be good for her in the future.

Having figured this out, Tangning no longer hesitated, "Let's go to Fengshui Pavilion!"

"Listen to my master." Gu Yuanya nodded.

"Since you master and apprentice have made a decision, let's set off now!"

…………

Three days later, the three of them arrived at Fengshuiting City on a merchant ship, and came to a huge light curtain. This was their destination, the Huagan Mountain Spirit Mine.

Soon, there was a gap in the light curtain, and a figure flashed inside, showing the figure of a burly man, who bowed to Xu Mengyuan: "I don't know which senior of the noble sect, no one is allowed to go without a proof of entry, look Forgive me senior."

Xu Mengyuan flipped through his hands, took out a note and handed it to him: "I am here by the order of the head of the department."

The man took the article and unfolded it: "Senior, please."

Several people entered the inner room, where a majestic and vast city wall stood, on which stood many armored monks.

"Senior Brother Xu, who are these people stationed on the city walls?" Tangning asked seeing so many people standing on the city walls, most of them were building foundations.

Xu Mengyuan said: "It's the monks recruited by the brigade. To manage such a large-scale spiritual mine, there are hundreds of monks who need to mine and dig out the spiritual stones. Of course, it is not enough to rely on a dozen sect disciples. We must recruit people to assist in the management."

"Use monks to dig out spirit stones, don't you use mortals?"

"High-grade spiritual stones are usually wrapped in extremely tough rocks, and they cannot be dug with ordinary knives, guns and sticks. It is difficult to see traces even on the rocky cliffs with axes. Only monks can dig them out bit by bit, and they can't destroy the spiritual stones. The integrity of the stone, otherwise it will cause the spiritual power of the spirit stone to leak out, if you don’t believe me, look under your feet, the geological hardness here is much harder than ordinary places.”

Hearing this, Tangning heard that her feet were covered with a little spiritual power, and she stepped on the ground with all her strength. There was a bang, bang, and it was really hard: "Is this the case for all high-grade spirit stones?"

"Generally, large-scale top-grade mines have relatively hard geology."

"why is that?"

Xu Mengyuan said: "I can't say the specific reason. The general speculation in the practice circle is that the spiritual power contained in the top-grade spiritual stone is too high, and it must be contained in the tough geological stone wall."

"We all know that spirit stones are essentially the accumulation of a large amount of spiritual energy, drilled into the crustal stone wall, and after years of cumulative weathering, they merge with the stones and become spirit stones."

"So it's not that the generation of a large amount of spiritual energy has changed the geology, but that the spiritual energy has chosen this geological area and swarmed in. Over the years, spiritual mines have been formed. In terms of the spiritual mines discovered in the practice world today, spiritual mines The higher the level, the tougher the geology."

Tangning nodded and said, "I see. But with so many monks recruited, how can we ensure that they won't secretly take out the spirit stones they've mined?"

"Ling Mine has very strict and meticulous management rules. If you have the opportunity to contact them in the future, you will naturally understand."

While the two were talking, they came to a cave.

"Junior Brother Tang, you wait outside first, and I will lead the disciples to visit the master of the Ling Mine." Xu Mengyuan said, and with a wave of his hand, he handed Zhang Fulu in.

Not long after, a man with a fair complexion slowly walked out from inside, saluted Xu Mengyuan Jishou and said: "Senior Xu, Senior Xue please come in."

Xu Mengyuan led Gu Yuanya into the cave, and came to the main room, where a burly man sat cross-legged.

"Disciple pays homage to Master Xue." Xu Mengyuan stepped forward to salute.

The man glanced at Gu Yuanya, smiled and said, "Sit down! There is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, uncle." Xu Mengyuan took his seat according to his words: "I dare not lie to my uncle. I have something I want to ask my uncle for help. This fellow Taoist Gu Yuanya has a relationship with my teacher, and my teacher asked me to find someone for her in the headquarters." It is my duty to come to visit you."

The man nodded slightly, turned his gaze and glanced at Gu Yuanya: "I'd like to trouble you to go over there yourself for some trivial matters. Fan Yuan, you take this Daoist Gu to handle the handover of identity, so you can work in the Finance Hall!"

"Uncle, then I will stop bothering you and leave."

"Say hello to Master Fang for me."

"Yes." The three of them walked out of the cave and walked up to Tangning. Xu Mengyuan smiled and said, "Junior Brother Tang, I've finished dealing with the matter of the apprentice, so I'll be working in the Finance Hall. This is the best position in the Lingmine, if it wasn't for Master Xue Speak, ordinary people can't ask for it."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu."

"Gu Daoyou, please follow me." The man beside him said.

Tangning said, "Yuan Ya, once you're here, don't do anything willful and follow the arrangements."

Gu Yuanya nodded and said, "I know, master, I'm going."

"Junior Brother Tang, let's go too!" Seeing the two of them disappearing into the distance, Xu Mengyuan said.

Tangning nodded, and the two left the Spirit Mine immediately.

...........................

The days were as plain as water, and two years passed in the blink of an eye. Since the handover of Taixuanzong's identity had not been completed, Tang Ning, Zhang Ziqing, and Wu Tongming had been living in this low mountain. Other miscellaneous affairs, but there is no source of income, let alone obtaining merit points, and entering the spirit gathering array to practice.

As time passed day by day, the three of them became more and more constrained. In the first few days, they often went out for banquets. After more than half a year, they basically stopped these courtesy.

You must know that a mid-Golden Core cultivator spends nearly [-] million pills a year, while in the late Golden Core it costs [-] million a year.

No one can afford to only go out but not in!

Tangning had already run out of ammunition and food. In addition to his own pills, he also spent Xiao Zhan and Xiaobai's pills. One person raised three people, and the spirit stones for a year were no less than four million.

If he hadn't accidentally obtained those two hundred top-grade spirit stones in the cave, he wouldn't have been able to last so long.

Even with such an extra windfall, he had already cut off his cultivation of pills, and the remaining spirit stones were only used to guarantee Xiaozhan and Xiaobai pills, and a year ago, the spirit stones in his body The stone is gone.

You can only sell the cultivation materials you got before in exchange for spirit stones, including the two pieces of black gold essence in the cave, the fourth-grade middle-grade seal scroll, and the thousand-year-old purple sun fruit, all of which were sold by him in exchange for more than five million spirit stones .

Up to now, he only has hundreds of thousands of spirit stones left on him, and he still has some valuable training materials, such as three monster pills and two magic weapons.

Tangning is ready to sell the three demon pills first, and hold on for a while. If it's really not possible, she can borrow some spirit stones from Xu Mengyuan first.

He is different from Zhang Ziqing and Wu Tongming, he has a family and has Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhan to support him, even if he doesn't have to practice, Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhan can't stop the pills.

However, Zhang Ziqing and Wu Tongming belonged to one person who was full and the whole family was not hungry, so they didn't have to worry about Lingshi.
