The towering Yugang Mountain has steep cliffs and emerald green. The soil of the mountain is rich in jade and black steel, and it is full of green jade. From a distance, it looks like a giant wearing jade clothes, magnificent and magnificent. The streams in the mountains are gurgling, like the sound of a zither played lightly. The rocks are hard and crystal, shining brightly. The open-pit mines on the mountain are layered, and the veins are crisscrossed, which are extremely rich. The mine caves are deep and intricate, extending into the depths of the mountain like a giant net, and the mine lights are flickering like stars. The miners are like ants, working hard to dig and working hard. There is Yugang Mountain Town on the hillside, with towering walls and sentry towers. Since Mengzi was defeated in Wuyin Mountain, the situation here has changed dramatically. Nowadays, many monks patrol day and night and take turns to stand guard, and the defense is much stricter than before. Hanzhou was in the small courtyard of the mountain town at this time, looking at the billowing smoke in the air. This was caused by the furnace in the mountain town running day and night. The fire was blazing, day and night. "Fellow Daoist Hanzhou, everyone has arrived." An old man pushed open the gate and walked in.
Hanzhou nodded: "Please come in." So, a large group of Ning's branch clansmen poured into the courtyard. Hanzhou glanced around and saw that there were 20 to 30 Ning clansmen, all of whom were in the Qi Refining Stage. Some were young, some were old, but no matter what age, there was light in their eyes. Hanzhou had experienced ups and downs and had seen many levels of cultivators. He liked the light in everyone's eyes. Because he knew that this light was hope for the future and expectation of happiness. He sat cross-legged on the grass. The Ning clansmen looked at each other, and soon they all followed Hanzhou's example and sat down one by one. Hanzhou: "Next, I will teach you the Bitter Cold Sutra." He was quite direct and got to the point. The Ning clan members immediately pricked up their ears and listened attentively. After Han Zhou finished teaching, everyone was silent, some closed their eyes tightly, racked their brains, and tried their best to think. Ning Youfu, who was standing by, witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but smile. Han Zhou taught the exercises, directly teaching the Qi Refining Chapter and the Foundation Building Chapter, which was very refreshing. Ning Youfu listened to it, and although he had no intention of changing his practice, he knew that this bitter cold sutra was very exquisite, not inferior to the top Bingxin Jue of the Ning family's main line. When the clan members of the Ning family branch were in the main family, if they wanted to practice Bingxin Jue, they would probably have to devote most of their lives to accumulate merits for the family. But in the Ning family branch, they easily received such a high treatment. "Patriarch Ning Zhuo is really capable." "This time, he actually sent such a strong man to teach the scriptures to my Ning family members." "Also, this time, the ancestor Ning Jiufan also came to Yugang Mountain and was warmly received by the mayor all day long. With his support this time, the reputation of our Ning family branch in Yugang Mountain will soar, and many things will become very simple."
Ning Youfu was very excited. Ning Zhuo's hand this time was beyond 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 knew that Ning Zhuo had left Huoshi Xiancheng and traveled around the world. Now it seems that genius can never be estimated by common sense. "I am old and dim-sighted, and I underestimated my patriarch." Ning Youfu looked at the blue sky and couldn't help imagining the future. "With such a talented and skillful young patriarch, why worry about the family's prosperity?" "I didn't expect that an old man like me could follow such a person and have such a life in my old age." Ning Youfu was satisfied, and Hanzhou was also quite satisfied. "Mr. Ning Zhuo's words of persuasion were really good." "Sometimes, choice is far more important than hard work." "This time, I taught the scriptures easily to 20 to 30 people." "According to the agreement, with the help of Mr. Ning Zhuo, I will teach more in the future." Thinking of Ning Zhuo, Hanzhou suddenly felt admiration and a little guilty. "No." "Mr. Ning Zhuo's magnanimity is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he can be said to be upright and upright, but I can't just think about myself." "In theory, the Bitter Cold Sutra is very suitable for cultivators to mine. But to be on the safe side, I still have to go to the mine to test it. Only after I confirm it myself can I really rest assured." Thinking of this, Hanzhou made this request to Ning Youfu. In the letter to Ning Youfu, Ning Zhuo stated that Hanzhou was a strong man in the foundation-building period, and he came to teach the skills and help to calm the situation. Unexpectedly, Hanzhou was so proactive and wanted to verify the effectiveness of the bitter cold scripture in mining. Ning Youfu immediately expressed his gratitude and persuaded Hanzhou to rest after teaching the skills today. It would be fine to go again tomorrow. Anyway, Hanzhou will stay here for a long time, so there is no need to rush. Hanzhou shook his head decisively: "Old Ning, I was born in the mud, and before I entered the Taoism, I was even a beggar." "The noble Ning Zhuo treated me as a close friend and never despised my background. After meeting me for the first few times, he directly lent me the enlightenment map to comprehend the frost spell." "Don't be too polite to me. There is no hardship in teaching the skills. If it is convenient for Old Ning, let's go now!" Hanzhou was so straightforward that Ning Youfu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Hanzhou's temperament and character really suit Ning Youfu's taste. Ning Youfu said: "In front of Fellow Daoist Hanzhou, I am not Ning Lao, just call me Fellow Daoist. Since Fellow Daoist is interested, let's go to the mine now." The mines are not far from the mountain town. To be more precise, a large number of mines are located within the mountain town. The monk 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. With the blessing of the Passion Body, the more tired and 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, you can not only mine minerals, but also increase your 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 in the middle to replenish their mana in order 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 Bitter Cold 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 lamented that the movements in his hands did not stop. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound. The stone wall he was digging suddenly cracked. The cracks spread in an instant, and soon a large stone wall fell apart, revealing a hole. Hanzhou and Ning Youfu had already taken a dozen steps back, trembling with fear. Because of such changes, there are many dangers involved, and in severe cases, they can even cause landslides. The smoke and dust dissipated, but 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 cut off the spiritual consciousness. It is not as easy to be penetrated by 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 descended along the entrance of the cave. Soon after, their vision suddenly widened and they came to an underground cave. You can see many vines and weeds growing in the cave here. This vine is yellow-brown all over and very strong. The weeds are as sharp as swords, exuding a sharp edge. "These are native vines and rock-breaking grass." 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 in the process of growing, 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, and floor, is made of jade-run black steel. Moreover, the quality of these jade-run black steels is far more outstanding than elsewhere, and they are almost all in top quality. Ning Youfu's face was full of joy and he looked at Hanzhou: "Friend Hanzhou is here for the first time, so 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 30 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 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 is foreseeable that quite a number of clan members 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 behind 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 deep green, with a hint of blue, and a faint silver-white glow appears on the surface, like a lake with moonlight shining on it.
The surface of the ore is as smooth as a mirror, and it feels cold, with a hint of the cool breath of the moonlight. Ning Youfu was excited: "This is Qingyue Jinggang, the essence of Yurun Xuangang, which is formed by Yurun Xuangang combined with moonlight." "It must be on a clear night with no clouds, and the moonlight penetrates the cold air and seeps into the ore veins, accumulating for hundreds and thousands of years to gradually form." "This is a Jindan-level mineral!" Ning Youfu looked at Hanzhou: "Fellow Daoist Hanzhou, do you really not want this profit?" Hanzhou's face became more bitter, and he shook his head with difficulty: "No need, no need." Ning Youfu stood in awe, bowed to Hanzhou, and said solemnly: "Daoyou, you are so noble, rarely seen in the world!" "Please help me seal this place." "The reserves of Qingyue refined steel still need to be explored." "If the reserves are too large, there will be huge twists and turns, and the future is worrying." "Fortunately, my ancestors are here. I will report it immediately." Hanzhou said: "Daoyou, go ahead, I will guard here." Ning Youfu quickly left the mine and went to the mansion in the center of the town. Ning Jiufan was drinking with the current mayor and Zhu Xuanji. Ning Jiufan raised his glass to Zhu Xuanji again: "I am in trouble this time, thanks to Daoyou Zhu's help. I will remember your life-saving grace in my heart!" Ning Jiufan was ambushed before. Although he fought with great momentum, he knew that it would be dangerous to continue fighting. The other party came prepared and was likely to target Yuan Lao. Zhu Xuanji and Shen Lingshu stood in the clouds and watched. When Ning Jiufan's tricks were outdated and he was about to collapse, they took decisive action. Not only did Zhu Xuanji break the formation and save people, but he also crushed the three cultivators with his strength. His amazing fighting power shocked Ning Jiufan. Zhu Xuanji was also very generous. He drank the wine cup in his hand and was about to speak when the servant came to report. Ning Youfu entered the mansion and immediately saluted Zhu Xuanji and the current mayor, saying that he wanted to report alone. Ning Jiufan took him to the side room. After learning the good news, he patted Ning Youfu on the shoulder and rewarded him with two talismans on the spot, asking Ning Youfu to take one to Hanzhou. Back at the wine table, Ning Jiufan directly admitted that he had discovered a mineral deposit containing Qingyue refined steel. The current mayor and Zhu Xuanji were quite satisfied with the Ning family's honesty and did not hide this. The atmosphere at the wine table became better. For a while, everyone was toasting and having fun. After the banquet, Zhu Xuanji came to see Shen Lingshu and told him about the accidental discovery of the mineral deposit. "Senior, if Ning Zhuo had planted a life-threatening thread on Hanzhou, would he still have such good luck if his fate was connected?" Zhu Xuanji asked. Shen Lingshu took out the mysterious air bag.
This leather bag was bulging with the fate absorbed from Ning Jiufan. Shen Lingshu pondered and said, "I secretly observe every day. Ning Jiufan's fate has lost a lot, but it still remains high." "If a life is hanging by a thread, there should be such a strange phenomenon!"
