The towering Yugang Mountain has steep rocks and dripping green color.
Because the mountain soil is rich in jade-rich black steel, it is the color of sapphire. Looking from a distance, it looks like a giant wearing jade clothes, brilliant and magnificent.
The gurgling mountain streams make a sonorous sound like a guzheng being played lightly.
The rocks are hard, crystal clear and sparkling.
There are layers of open-pit mine deposits on the mountain, with crisscross veins and extremely rich resources. The mines are deep and intricate, extending deep into the mountain like a giant network. The miner's lamps flicker like stars. The miners are like ants, digging hard and working tirelessly.
Halfway up the mountain lies Yugang Mountain Town, with towering city walls and numerous guard towers. Ever since Meng Zizhong defeated Wuyin Mountain, the layout here has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Nowadays, many monks patrol day and night, taking turns to stand guard, and the defense is much tighter than before.
Hanzhou was currently in the small courtyard of the mountain town, looking at the thick smoke billowing in the sky. This was caused by the furnaces in the mountain town running day and night.
The fire is blazing day and night.
"Fellow Taoist Hanzhou, everyone has arrived." An old man opened the courtyard door and walked in.
Hanzhou nodded: "Everyone please come in."
As a result, a large group of people from the Ning clan's branch family poured into the courtyard.
Han Zhou glanced around and saw that there were twenty or thirty members of the Ning clan, all of whom were in the Qi refining stage. Some were young, some were old, but no matter what age they were, they all had light in their eyes.
Hanzhou has experienced ups and downs and has seen many levels of monks. He likes the light in everyone's eyes.
Because he knows that this light is hope for the future and expectation for happiness.
He sat cross-legged directly on the grass.
The Ning clan members looked at each other, and soon they all followed Han Zhou's example and sat down one by one.
Hanzhou: "Next, I will teach you the Bitter Cold Sutra."
He is quite direct and straight to the point.
The Bonin clan members immediately listened and paid full attention.
After Hanzhou's teaching ended, everyone was silent, some closed their eyes tightly, racked their brains, and tried their best to think.
Ning Youfu on the side witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but smile.
Han Zhou taught the exercises and directly taught the Qi refining and foundation building chapters, which was very refreshing.
Ning Youfu listened, and even though he had no intention of modifying it, he also knew that this Bitter Cold Sutra was very exquisite, no less than the Bingxin Jue at the top of the Ning family's main vein.
When the clansmen of the Ning family were in the main family, if they wanted to practice Bing Xin Jue, they would probably have to devote most of their lives to accumulating merit for the family.
But here in the Ning family branch, it was easy to receive such high treatment.
"Clan Chief Ning Zhuo does have some tricks up his sleeve."
"This time, such a strong person was actually sent to teach scriptures specifically for our Ning family members."
"Also, this time ancestor Ning Jongfan actually came to Yugang Mountain and received warm hospitality from the mayor all day long. With his platform, the reputation of our Ning family in Yugang Mountain will skyrocket.
, many things will become very simple.”
Ning Youfu felt very excited.
Ning Zhuo's handiwork this time exceeded his expectations.
In fact, after Ning Zhuo became the patriarch of the branch family, he shocked the entire branch family from time to time.
Originally, Ning Youfu was quite worried when he found out that Ning Zhuo had left Fire Persimmon City and traveled around the world. Now it seems that genius cannot always be estimated by common sense.
"It's because of my dim eyesight that I underestimated the head of my family." Ning Youfu looked at the blue sky and couldn't help but think about the future.
"With such a talented young patriarch here, why worry about the family not being happy?"
"I didn't expect that an old man like me would be able to follow such a person and lead such a life in my old age."
Ning Youfu was satisfied, and Hanzhou was also quite satisfied.
"Master Ning Zhuo's words of persuasion to me are really good."
"Sometimes, choice is far more important than hard work."
"This time I taught the scriptures easily, and I taught them to twenty or thirty people."
"According to the agreement, with the help of Master Ning Zhuo, I will teach more in the future."
Thinking of Ning Zhuo, Hanzhou suddenly felt admiration and a touch of guilt in his heart.
"No."
"Master Ning Zhuo is a man of extraordinary caliber and integrity, but I can't just think about myself."
"Logically speaking, the Bitter Cold Sutra is very suitable for monks to mine. But to be on the safe side, I still have to go to the mine to test it and confirm it myself before I can really rest assured."
Thinking of this, Hanzhou made this request to Ning Youfu.
In Ning Zhuo's letter to Ning Youfu, he stated that Hanzhou was a strong man in the foundation-building stage and was here to teach the skills and help control the situation.
Unexpectedly, Hanzhou was so proactive and wanted to verify the effectiveness of the Kuhan Sutra in mining.
Ning Youfu immediately expressed his gratitude and persuaded Hanzhou to teach the exercises today. He was exhausted physically and mentally, so he might as well take a rest and go again tomorrow. Anyway, Hanzhou would stay here for a long time, so he was not in a hurry.
Hanzhou shook his head decisively: "Mr. Ning, I was born in a mud-legged family. Before I entered Taoism and practiced Taoism, I was a beggar."
"The noble Lord Ning Zhuo treats me as a confidant and a good friend. He has never disdained my background. For the first few times we met, he directly lent me the Dharma Enlightenment Chart to learn the frost spell."
"Don't be too polite to me. There's no point in teaching the exercises. If it's convenient for Mr. Ning, let's leave now!"
Han Zhou was so straightforward that Ning Youyi couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.
Hanzhou's temperament and temperament really fit Ning Youfu's eyes.
Ning Youfu said: "In front of fellow Taoist Hanzhou, I am not Elder Ning. Just call me fellow Taoist. Since fellow Taoist is interested, let's go to the mine now."
The mine is not far from the mountain town. To be more precise, a large number of mines are located within the mountain town.
The monk who was guarding the mine immediately let him go when he saw Ning Youfu showing his token.
Unlike the first time, Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong had to pay fees when entering the mine.
Now, the Ning family has mastered part of the mining rights. It can be said that it is half the owner.
Hanzhou entered the mine and gradually went deeper.
He activated the Bitter Cold Sutra and tried to mine.
Soon, he abandoned manuscripts and other tools and started digging with his bare hands.
Under the blessing of the suffering body, the more tired or injured he is, the more his physical fitness, strength, etc. are enhanced, and his movements become faster and faster.
Ning Youfu saw the clues from the side and said excitedly: "Good skills, good skills."
"My tribe generally lacks magic weapons and has low magic power. By using this technique, we can not only mine minerals, but also increase our cultivation. It kills two birds with one stone and kills two birds with one stone. It's really wonderful!"
Hanzhou said: "Using a magic weapon to mine is much more efficient than mine with my bare hands. However, if we consider the cost, using a magic weapon will consume more mana."
"The monks must absorb spiritual stones and replenish their mana in the middle to continue."
"Also, if the mining magic weapon is used for a long time, it will be damaged and consumed, and it must be repaired every once in a while."
"Based on this, my Kuhan Sutra is really suitable for mining ore."
Realizing this, Hanzhou breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "It seems that I have not let Mr. Ning Zhuo down."
He sighed with emotion and the movements in his hands did not stop.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound.
The stone wall he was excavating suddenly cracked.
The cracks spread in an instant, and soon a large stone wall fell apart, revealing a hole.
In Hanzhou, Ning Youfu had already stepped back more than ten steps, trembling with fear.
Because of such changes, there are many dangers involved, and in severe cases, they can even lead to landslides.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and the mine was still very stable.
Hanzhou and Ning Youfu breathed a sigh of relief. After calming down, they cautiously explored the cave.
The monk's spiritual consciousness is quite hindered in the mine, because the treasure materials in the mine are everywhere, which will isolate the spiritual consciousness. It is not as easy to be penetrated by the spiritual consciousness as ordinary mud and stone.
Divine consciousness spread in the cave for a moment, and Hanzhou and Ning Youfu both showed happy faces.
After the two people confirmed that it was safe, they went all the way down the entrance of the cave.
Soon after, their vision suddenly widened and they came to an underground cave.
You can see that there are many vines and weeds growing in the cave here.
The vines are all yellow-brown and very strong. The weeds are as sharp as swords, exuding a sharp edge.
"This is a vine that grows from the soil and a grass that breaks through the stone." Ning Youfu said.
Han Zhou didn't know this, so he quickly asked for advice.
Ning Youfu then told him that the raw soil vine was buried deep in the earth, and during its growth process, it could soften the stone layer and turn it into soil.
As for rock-breaking grass, it often grows with native vines, and the blades of the grass are so sharp that they can break through rocks.
"Because of this, ordinary rocks do not exist here. What can survive are minerals that are not afraid of growing soil, vines, and rock-breaking grass."
Ning Youfu doesn’t need to explain this, Hanzhou has seen it himself.
This underground cave is quite large. The entire cave wall, including the top, bottom, left and right, and the floor are made of jade-run black steel.
Moreover, the quality of these jade-run black steels is far more outstanding than elsewhere, and almost all of them are in top quality.
Ning Youfu's face was full of joy, and he looked at Hanzhou: "Friend Hanzhou, I have just arrived, and we have such an opportunity. Such a cave is also called a treasure cave by the old miners. Just relying on the penetration of my spiritual consciousness, these jade black steel
It's at least ten feet thick, and its total market value should be thirty million low-grade spiritual stones."
Han Zhou couldn't help but feel moved.
According to his understanding, the total annual income of a small cultivation force at the foundation-building level (with one to three foundation-building monks) is only 48 million low-grade spiritual stones.
The total price of this mine exceeds the half-year profit of an ordinary foundation-building force!
"Mining is good." Hanzhou sighed sincerely.
Ning Youfu continued to use his spiritual sense to detect, and said with a smile: "According to the rules of our family division, fellow Taoist Hanzhou, you discovered this place, and you will have 30% of the profit."
"Ten million low-grade spiritual stones?!" Hanzhou immediately glared.
His heart was pounding.
Then, in the divine sea of ​​Dantian, the true meaning of bitter cold is like snow melting in the sun.
Hanzhou's expression suddenly changed.
He shook his head decisively and smiled bitterly: "This is something external to me, I don't need it."
At first, Ning Youfu thought Hanzhou was being polite.
After a few words of conversation, Ning Youfu finally confirmed that Hanzhou really didn't want him.
The old man who was separated from the Ning family couldn't help but take a deep breath, and admired Ning Zhuo's methods even more: "Oh my God, where did the patriarch find such a person? It's so suitable!"
"The Bitter Cold Sutra and mining go well together. It can be foreseen that quite a number of tribesmen will give up the rewards of mining in order to improve their cultivation."
"It's amazing, this is really amazing."
Hanzhou suddenly turned his head and looked at the cave wall in the southeast direction: "Fellow Daoist Ning, there seems to be different kinds of jade-rich black steel hidden here."
"Oh?" Ning Youfu's consciousness could only penetrate one foot, and it was quite reluctant. The second half of the sensation was quite blurry.
Ning Youfu immediately used his magic weapon to dig a deep hole regardless of the heavy loss of mana.
After burning incense, he dug out a portion of metal ore from the deep cave.
The ore is deeply green, giving off a slight hint of blue, while a faint silvery white glow appears on the surface, just like the sparkling moonlight on the surface of a lake.
The surface of the ore is as smooth as a mirror, cold to the touch, and exuded with the cool breath of moonlight.
Ning Youfu became excited: "This is Qingyue Fine Steel. It is the essence of Yurun Black Steel. It is formed by combining Yurun Black Steel with moonlight."
"On a clear, cloudless night, the moonlight penetrates the cold air, penetrates into the mineral veins, and accumulates over hundreds of thousands of years to gradually take shape."
"This is a gold elixir level mineral!"
Ning Youfu looked at Hanzhou: "Fellow Taoist Hanzhou, do you really not want this benefit?"
Han Zhou's face became even more bitter, and he shook his head with difficulty: "No need, no need."
Ning Youfu stood in awe, bowed his hand to Hanzhou, and said solemnly: "My Taoist friends are so righteous, which is rare in the world!"
"Fellow Taoist, please join me in sealing this place."
"The reserves of Qingyue Stainless Steel still need to be explored."
"If the reserves are too large, there will be huge setbacks and the prospects will be worrying."
"Fortunately, my ancestors from my hometown are here. I want to report it immediately."
Hanzhou then said, "Fellow Taoist, please go, I will keep watch over you here."
Ning Youfu quickly left the mine and headed to the mansion in the center of the town.
Ning went to Fan Zhenghe, the current mayor, while Zhu Xuanzhi was having a drink.
Ning Jingfan raised his glass to Zhu Xuanji again: "In this crisis, it was thanks to Zhu Daoist Fellow's help and life-saving grace that Ning will always remember it in his heart!"
Ning was ambushed before he surrendered. Although he fought magnificently, he knew that if he continued to fight, there would be many dangers. The opponent was well prepared and would most likely target Yuan Lao.
Zhu Xuanji and Shen Lingshu stood in the clouds and watched. When they saw that Ning Yiyi was using old tricks and could no longer hold on, they took action decisively and broke the formation to save people. Zhu Xuanji was even more devastating and killed the three cultivators.
His astonishing combat power shocked Ning Yifan.
Zhu Xuanji was also very arrogant. He emptied his wine cup and was about to speak when his attendant came to report.
Ning Youfu entered the mansion and immediately saluted Zhu Xuanji, the current mayor, and expressed that he wanted to report alone.
Ning obeyed and took him to the side room. After learning the good news, he patted Ning Youfu on the shoulder, rewarded him with two talismans on the spot, and asked Ning Youfu to take one to Hanzhou.
Back at the wine table, Ning Jingfan directly confessed that he had discovered a mineral deposit containing Qingyue Stainless Steel.
The current mayor, Zhu Xuanji, is quite satisfied with the fact that the Ning family is frank and has not concealed this fact.
The atmosphere at the wine table is better.
For a while, I pushed the cup and changed the cup, enjoying it happily.
After the banquet, Zhu Xuanji came to see Shen Lingshu and informed the latter of the unexpected discovery of the mineral deposit.
"Senior, if Ning Zhuo planted a life-threatening thread on Han Continent, would he still have such good luck if his Qi numbers were the same?" Zhu Xuanzhi asked.
Shen Lingshu took out the mysterious air bag.
The bulges in this leather bag are all the energy absorbed from Ning Jiufan's body.
Shen Lingshu muttered: "I secretly observe every day. Ning Yifan has lost a lot of energy, but he still maintains a high position."
Chapter completed!
