Daqingshan, with green mountains and beautiful waters, is filled with a touch of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. If it weren’t for the dormant evil spirits, it would be a holy land for immortals.
In the clouds, Zhang Chunyi, Liu Er, and Zhuang Yuan stood side by side, overlooking this majestic mountain range that looked like a dormant dragon.
On this trip, Zhang Chunyi was looking for chalcedony, but before that he had to find the jade mine. Zhang Chunyi was not good at this, so he took Zhuang Yuan with him.
Although he is still young and his cultivation is still shallow, Zhuang Yuan is already quite accomplished in the inheritance of "The Jade Mother", surpassing Zhang Chunyi by a lot.
At the age of ten, Zhuang Yuan has become more and more mature. Although he stands in the clouds and overlooks the earth for the first time, his heart is still calm.
He practiced hard on the mountain for a year and a half and never slackened off. Although he was surpassed by Bai Zhining in terms of cultivation, Zhuang Yuan still steadily entered the realm of locking the third soul and was not far away from locking the fourth soul.
However, in terms of monsters, Zhuang Yuan has only refined one green-haired turtle so far, and is not in a hurry to refine the second one. He originally wanted to refine the monster crane on Longhu Mountain, but after getting along with him for a while,
, he gave up because the monster crane was too proud, too ferocious, and at odds with his temperament.
However, although there is only one monster, with Zhang Chunyi's gift and the several water spells he obtained in exchange for his contribution, Zhuang Yuan's strength is actually not weak in the same realm.
"Go down and take a look."
Entering the inner perimeter of Daqing Mountain, Zhang Chunyi opened his mouth after locating an obvious ditch.
Hearing this, Zhuang Yuan's childish face showed a hint of nervousness.
Falling down, Zhang Chunyi's eyes moved slightly as he looked at the crack in front of him, which was about ten meters wide and about a hundred meters deep.
Because he found traces of fighting and the corpses of human immortal cultivators and monsters nearby. The death state of both humans and monsters was quite strange, with only a piece of skin and bones left, and all the flesh and blood disappeared. "Is it caused by some weird monster?"
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhang Chunyi was thoughtful.
The green light flowed in his eyes, the demon-seeking pupils were running, and his spiritual thoughts swept across. Apart from a demonic energy dormant deep in the ditch, Zhang Chunyi did not notice anything unusual.
Shen Nian had a feeling and understood what Zhang Chunyi meant. He glanced at the ditch and jumped straight down.
Not long after, as a faint smell of blood filled the air, a wolf-tooth spider with four hundred years of cultivation was dragged out by Liu Er.
"Zhuang Yuan, let's start."
After solving the trouble, Zhang Chunyi spoke.
Hearing this, Zhuang Yuan nodded solemnly.
"Yes, teacher."
Taking a step forward, Zhuang Yuan's soul began to stir. At this moment, the turtle demon who had been lying on his shoulder, about the size of a palm, with green hair on his back, and who was dozing, slowly opened his eyes.
"Wanshou, we can't let the teacher down."
Talking to himself, Zhuang Yuan seemed to be talking to the green turtle, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
Hearing this, he glanced at Zhuang Yuan with green bean-like eyes, and the demonic aura on the green-haired turtle began to rise slowly. It now has two hundred and ninety years of cultivation.
"Looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water."
Combining his spiritual thoughts, and with the help of the Mountain Viewing and Water Viewing spells possessed by the green-haired turtle, Zhuang Yuan activated his self-created spell, Viewing Mountains and Waters.
Although the two methods of mountain viewing and water viewing are only low-grade, they are extremely compatible with each other. When used together, they have extraordinary mysteries.
At this moment, with the help of the green-haired turtle's vision, Zhuang Yuan saw a brand new world. Everything had lost its color, and the soil and rocks were distorted and shapeless, replaced by various auras with unknown meanings.
"Lingyu."
At a certain moment, Zhuang Yuan saw a burst of red smoke, and then the second and third bursts appeared one after another.
But he quickly retreated from this perspective.
The spirit thought separated from the green-haired turtle, and he opened his eyes. Feeling the dizziness coming from his mind, Zhuang Yuan shook his head.
"Teacher, I found the spiritual jade."
"Here, ten meters underground, here, fifteen meters underground..."
With an unconcealable smile on his face, Zhuang Yuan pointed out five places where spiritual jade might be hidden.
Hearing this, Zhang Chunyi gave instructions to Liuer.
After hearing Zhang Chunyi's instructions, although he was not happy to do such chores, Liu Er still punched the soil to pieces, and the rocks took out the hidden spiritual jade mine.
There are spiritual jades in five places, and none of them are missing. Among them, one piece of spiritual jade is of good quality and has reached the second grade. The five pieces together are worth about twenty or thirty low-grade spiritual stones.
Although these spiritual stones are nothing to the current Zhang Chunyi, they are already a very large fortune to many casual cultivators.
"This feeling of picking up spiritual stones is really good. No wonder so many casual cultivators risk their lives to break into Daqingshan."
"However, the spiritual jade is hidden deep and there is no corresponding method. Ordinary people can only spend time and try their luck to find it. It is not that easy to find."
After playing with it for a while, Zhang Chunyi threw the five pieces of spiritual jade to Zhuang Yuan. These small things were of little use to him now.
Although Zhuang Yuan was a little embarrassed about this, he did not make unnecessary excuses.
"Have you found any traces of jade veins?"
Looking at the ditch, Zhang Chunyi spoke. For him, finding the jade vein was the most important thing.
Hearing this, the joy on his face faded, and Zhuang Yuan shook his head.
"Teacher, the spiritual jade here should have been brought up by the earth dragon. I have not found any traces of jade veins."
Hearing this, Zhang Chun nodded and was not disappointed.
The current Zhuang Yuan is not strong enough to see all the mountains and rivers of Daqingshan at a glance. Looking for jade veins through ditches is a tricky thing in itself. It requires a certain amount of luck. It is unlikely that you can find it in one go.
"In that case, let's change a place."
With Zhuang Yuan, Zhang Chunyi flew into the sky again, but this time the height was very low, making it easier to search for ditches.
Although this is the inner circle of Daqing Mountain, Zhang Chunyi doesn't have too many scruples now. If a blind monster really comes to find him, he won't mind having more alchemy materials.
In the next ten days, Zhang Chunyi took Zhuang Yuan to wander around Daqing Mountain. They found more than a dozen ditches and searched for a lot of jade, but no trace of jade veins was ever found.
"Teacher, spiritual jade is the essence of the earth and needs to be watered by the earth's energy. These days, I have observed the direction of those ditches and combined with their earth energy, I feel that this place has the greatest possibility of hiding jade veins."
Standing in the clouds, his face full of determination, Zhuang Yuan drew a small circle on the map.
After ten days of hard work, although the jade vein has never been found, the knowledge and reality are consistent. Zhuang Yuan's attainments in finding jade are improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, no longer so rigid, and full of spirituality.
Seeing the circle drawn by Zhuang Yuan's fingertips, Zhang Chunyi's eyes moved slightly. That place was already the core area of Daqingshan.
