Chapter 112: Entering the Mine Vein

  Chapter 112: Entering the Mine Vein

  Half a month later, many Luo Yun Zong disciples did not notice that several flying treasure vessels departed from the sect and flew towards the southwest of Liang Guo.

  That's exactly where the battlefield is!

  The war in the Xianxia world is different from the secular war, directly going up to bloody fight. Because in general, the defending side has a greater advantage and can use formations and other means to block enemies who are much stronger than themselves. Therefore, unless there is a big difference in strength, the wars in the Xianxia world usually end with compromise!

  Moreover, the outcome of the war has little to do with the battles between low-level cultivators, and most of the time it is the result of high-level cultivators fighting and scheming against each other!

  So, the war in the Immortal Realm is a great opportunity for most low-ranking cultivators to risk their lives and fight for their future! As long as they have enough contribution points, building their foundation will no longer be just a fantasy. And these contribution points are different from those obtained through sect tasks, they should be called merit points instead, which are much more valuable, after all, merit points are earned with one's life!

  Shilin mountain range is a mountain range in the southwest of Liangguo, originally with no fame, but more than 600 years ago was discovered by a loose cultivator who found the ore vein inside, after the news leaked out, a fierce battle broke out, and finally Luoyun Sect occupied this mountain range, the loose cultivators had to hand over the income of eight layers in order to enter and mine!

  Only two layers can be left, and the momentum is not much, because the spiritual stone vein is very solid, with a hardness comparable to that of low-grade artifacts. Even if there are other minerals mixed in, it's even harder to mine! Many low-ranking cultivators, if they're unlucky, might only be able to mine out dozens of pieces of spiritual stone in a day. After deducting the portion handed over, maybe they'll only get one piece of spiritual stone per day!

  But now, a cyan-colored boat-shaped treasure vessel slowly descended from the sky above the Shilin mountain range!

  The treasure had just landed, and many monks came out of the stone forest around them.

  "Greetings, elder! Greetings, minister!"

  Wang Chen and another Jiziqi disciple walked out from among the many disciples. The Jiziqi disciple beside him, Wang Chen also knew, was exactly Fu Ming, who had cooperated with him in Fuyue City before. Later, Wang Chen even gave Fu a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, but Fu was currently breaking through the Golden Elixir stage, so he didn't participate!

  Fu Ming also obtained two Zhūjī Dān due to his father's relationship and successfully built the foundation!

  This time, I'll accompany Wang Chen together!

  Wang Chen looked calmly at the disciples around him, nodded slightly, these disciples had obviously gone through a lot of killing, their aura was very mysterious and their eyes were extremely sharp, unlike many cultivators in the sect!

  "Junior brother, you take charge! This time I came mainly to hone my disciple's skills. As for the defense of the mine, it's still up to you!"

  Wang Chen took another step down, casually saying to Ming, "As the foundation period executive, you also have some prestige on your body." Upon hearing this, Ming didn't show any humility and nodded his head before instructing many cultivators to enter the defensive formation.

  The Guardian Formation of the Shilin Mountains was originally an intermediate ordinary formation. At the beginning of the war, several other formations were added to it, and together they had a formidable power, even four or five foundation-building cultivators would find it difficult to break through!

  After opening the formation, Wang Chen and Fu Ming led dozens of Qi-refining disciples inside. The residence of Luo Yunzong's disciples was located in an area at the entrance of the mine vein, although it couldn't be considered luxurious, but there were also towering buildings!

  As soon as he walked in, three foundation period monks came forward to pay their respects.

  "Hello, Uncle Master!"

  Three foundation-building period cultivators with complex expressions bowed, and Wang Chen sensed their joy, admiration, jealousy and other complicated emotions from the sword intent.

  He nodded slightly with a hint of impatience, and Wang Chen stopped talking. The three Foundation Building cultivators felt slightly embarrassed, thinking to themselves that this talented senior uncle was indeed difficult to serve, but since they had come, they were not afraid of the demon cultivator's attack at all!

  Feng Ming was a bit dim-witted and didn't notice anything out of place, so he started chatting with the three of them.

  "Wang Shixiong, I don't know what's the situation with the defense of the Zuo Shi Lin mine? Have there been any demonic cultivators coming to cause trouble in the past few days?"

  After talking for a while, Fu Ming asked about the key purpose of this visit.

  Wang Zhi heard this and blushed slightly, awkwardly saying: "The opposing demonic cultivators are also very strong, with six Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. The three of us can only rely on our formation to barely hold out. If you don't come soon, we'll have no choice but to lead the Qi Refining stage disciples in retreat!"

  After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wang Chen again and saw that Wang Chen's expression didn't change, without any indication, slightly disappointed, but then said: "Of course, with Master here, the situation will definitely be different!"

  Immediately afterwards, another Huang surname Foundation Establishment cultivator compared the strengths of both sides. On Luo Yun's side, including those providing support, there were a total of four Foundation Establishment cultivators and over eighty Qi Refining cultivators, while on the opposing demonic cultivator's side, there were six Foundation Establishment cultivators and around one hundred and fifty Qi Refining cultivators!

  Of course, it can't be counted like this in reality!

  On Luo Yunzong's side, Wang Chen was not included, and there was also the help of the formation. However, it was also difficult to explain the actual situation on Mo Xiu's side, after all, these numbers were judged from the previous few battles! As for whether the opponent had any hidden cards, no one knew!

  Moreover, demonic cultivators are generally stronger than same-level cultivators, for example, the Yin Corpse Sect, which specializes in corpse refinement and has a huge advantage in terms of numbers!

  Four people discussing the matter of Mo Xiu, Wang Chen felt very depressed, paused for a few sentences, and then started to meditate with his eyes closed!

  Wang Chen didn't put Mo Xiu's matter in his heart at all, but instead looked forward to Mo Xiu coming as soon as possible to bring some treasures for the Boundary Pearl to swallow, so that he could enter the Foundation Building period even faster.

  After getting the distribution map of the mine from three Jizhiji cultivators, Wang Chen turned around and left, leaving a sentence, "When the demon cultivator comes, notify me", and then he turned around and left!

  Three Masters were slightly shocked, and it wasn't until several hours later that a Qi Refining stage disciple reported that Elder Wang Chen had squeezed into the mine! The Foundation Building stage cultivators couldn't help but bitterly laugh, and Fu Ming was also unclear about what was going on.

  After the war began, the Shilin mine was no longer mined, and all miners had withdrawn! Only Luo Yunzong's defensive disciples were left to re-garrison, and because of their busy defense, the mine was slightly chaotic.

  After entering the mine for a distance, Wang Chen released the Five-Colored Giant Ape and instructed it before following behind to pick up ore.

  In front of the five-colored giant ape, a black stick was swung, and a loud rumbling sound came out. The solid ore in the eyes of the monk was crushed into pieces under the black stick and fell to the ground!

  Wang Chen transmitted a voice and boasted about the five-colored giant ape, who came even more vigorously, and with greater strength smashed the ore!

  Wang Chen picked up a stone, shook his head, the color of this stone was only slightly darker, with very little iron content, not suitable for mining at all. However, Wang Chen still picked it up and threw it into the boundary bead!

  After entering the boundary bead, this small piece of ore containing many impurities was quickly decomposed and transformed into a part of golden and earthy spiritual energy. However, Wang Chen also noticed that apart from the initial decomposition, there were still many tiny white powders!

  This white powder is the residual part left after the boundary bead has been absorbed and transformed!

  Logically speaking, it should not be within the five elements of yin and yang. Otherwise, it would have been transformed into various attributes of spiritual energy. Previously, Wang Chen's boundary bead had refined a lot of spiritual materials, but very few white powders appeared, even if there were any, just a little bit!

  This lump of ore actually produced more white powder than all the previous ones combined!

  "It seems that the ore contains a lot of impurities, and after decomposition and transformation, a lot of white powder is formed. The spiritual materials I absorbed before were all very pure spiritual grasses, almost all composed of five-elemental spiritual energy, rarely with this kind of powder!"

  Wang Chen secretly thought to himself, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat as he thought of an ingenious idea. However, whether this idea would work still remained to be tested!

  Next, Wang Chen embarked on a mining journey. With the help of the colorful giant ape and the black stick's hardness, Wang Chen harvested a lot of ore! However, compared to the harvest from the Dragon Valley mine, it was not as much!

  The ore inside is relatively pure and almost as refined as the earth fire smelting used by monks, but the ore here has a lot more impurities!

  Moreover, the amount of spiritual stones here is really too little. After digging for several hours, I only saw more than a thousand, and this is still with the terrifying speed of the Five-Colored Giant Ape. If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't even get one percent!

  However, even though Wang Chen was constantly picking up the ore, his storage bag didn't bulge in the slightest, because all the ore had been stored within the Boundary Bead, and in the blink of an eye they transformed into spiritual energy and white powder.

  The accumulated spiritual energy of Wang Chen was not consumed, but rather stored up for future foundation-building.
