Chapter 21 Fiery Burning Sky Formation (Please collect, recommend, and invest)
"Because my grandson has died and the monster has not yet been killed, we have not arranged for the Jade Spirit Mine to resume work. Don't worry, Master Qi," Sun Mingsheng responded.
Both the Jade Spirit Mine and the Bluestone Spirit Mine are one of the first-order low-grade Spirit Mines, but the difference between the two is also very clear.
The sapphire spirit mine has a long history, and the Sun family can only earn 2,000 spirit stones from it every year despite all their efforts.
Mining the bluestone spirit mine is relatively easy. As long as enough monks are invested, tens of thousands of standard first-level low-grade bluestones can be mined and sold in a year.
Tens of thousands of spiritual stones are undoubtedly a great supplement for the Sun family. If you are lucky, you can buy a Foundation Establishment Pill at the auction, which means a new Foundation Establishment monk.
"Well done, let's go and have a look in the mine together." Sun Youshi naturally understood the meaning.
The two of them didn't dare to delay for a moment and went straight into the mine. He discovered the location of the Bluestone Spirit Mine.
Sun Youshi was in the mine, slashing the blue jade with magic weapons, attacking with spells, and using various methods frequently. In the end, he only left some shallow white marks.
"It is indeed a bluestone spiritual mine. Mingsheng, you have made a great contribution this time, and the family will definitely reward you." Sun Youshi said with certainty.
Although he is not a professional prospector, he has been in the world of cultivation for decades and is quite experienced. He can still be sure about this relatively common bluestone spiritual mine.
Prospecting is a relatively niche skill that can determine the size and basic direction of spiritual mines through some special means.
Moreover, the inheritance of prospectors is also quite rare. In the entire Song Dynasty, only the five major sects have some basic inheritance.
It is precisely because of the efforts of the prospectors that the five major sects have continuously discovered spiritual mines of different sizes, types, and grades, providing a steady stream of power for the development of the sects.
Naturally, there is no such rare entity as a prospector in the Sun family. The discovery of all spiritual mines relies on exploration by foundation-building monks.
This stupid method is not only inefficient, but also relies heavily on luck. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to discover a first-level low-grade small spiritual mine in a hundred years.
"Seventh Master, the night is long and the dream is many. If the news leaks out and trouble may occur, it is better to report it to the family quickly and send more monks here. It is best to set up a small formation here." After receiving a positive answer, Sun Mingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's natural. I immediately asked the family for help." As he said this, Sun Youshi carefully took out a second-level communication talisman seal with a purple and black pattern on it.
The communication talisman is not omnipotent. The transmission speed and confidentiality of the second-level communication talisman will be better. As long as no Golden Core monks intervene to intercept it, there is no risk in terms of security.
A second-level communication talisman is also expensive, about a hundred spirit stones, and can only be used under special circumstances.
"Mingsheng, from today onwards, I will be stationed here at the Qingshi Ling Mine. Until the next wave of monks from the family arrive, you will turn this place into a restricted area and arrange for the miners to resume work in other mines. If work is not resumed for a long time, it may also cause Yan and Zhao Pay attention to both families," Sun Youshi ordered in an orderly manner.
As we all know, the Sapphire Spiritual Mine is one of the few spiritual mineral veins in the hands of the Sun family. To the Sun family, it is like a hen that lays golden eggs.
In order to extract enough first-grade low-grade sapphire, a relatively stringent production requirement is issued to the miners in Lingyu Town every month.
It would obviously be unrealistic to stop mining the sapphire spirit mine for a long time because of a monster. It would feel like there is no silver in this place.
"My grandson understands, and we will start arranging for the miners to resume work." Sun Mingsheng quickly figured out the mystery.
The two monks performed their respective duties, and the mining of the sapphire spirit mine soon resumed. Apart from delineating a small restricted area, there was no other difference.
Even if monks Yan and Zhao passed by here accidentally, they would not notice anything unusual.
With the cover of the Blue Jade Spirit Mine, mining of the Blue Stone Spirit Mine will be more convenient and secretive.
There are still some differences between the two mineral veins. The Qingyuling Mine can be mined by ordinary people on a large scale, while the Sun family is only responsible for refining it.
The bluestone spirit mine is extremely hard, not to mention that ordinary people are unable to mine it. The monks in the Qi refining stage must use special magical tools as assistance to be able to mine and cut it into standard blocks.
The two monks, Sun Youshi and Sun Mingsheng, seemed confident and performed their duties in an orderly manner. However, before the next wave of reinforcements sent by the family arrived, the anxiety in their hearts never completely disappeared.
One light and one dark, one up and down, always in a state of looseness on the outside and tight on the inside, lest it attract the attention of other monks in this not-so-long period of time.
"Twelfth brother, where is the Blue Stone Spirit Mine? How big is it? Is it worth using a second-level communication talisman?" The reinforcements from the Sun family came very quickly.
On the evening of the second day, more than ten monks riding ten Hanniu beasts appeared at the Jade Spirit Mine. The leader was also an eighth-level Qi practitioner.
"Brother, why are you here? Aren't you practicing in seclusion?" Sun Mingsheng asked in surprise.
Sun Mingzeng, ranked number one in the Ming generation, has dual spiritual roots of water and wood. He is a foundation-building seed cultivated by the family. Various cultivation resources are readily available. He is also the only monk with dual spiritual roots in the family. His only task in daily life is to practice.
Perhaps among the five major sects, Shuanglinggen is only an upper-middle-level monk, but in the Sun family, it is a trump card that can be used to change the fate of the family.
As long as there is a Foundation Establishment Pill to help, promotion to Foundation Establishment is almost certain. There is no doubt. If there are some good opportunities, there is more than half a chance of condensing the Golden Pill.
A golden elixir monk is definitely the most effective way to improve the family's strength. All the monks in the Sun family would rather save money and food to support Sun Mingzeng's practice.
In order to protect Sun Mingzeng's safety, he promoted to the outside world that his qualifications have always been the Three Spiritual Roots, and he also has a lot of killer skills.
"It is not enough to simply rely on seclusion to improve your cultivation. Over the years, a lot of resources have been consumed by the family. I should also make some contributions to the family. This time I came here specifically to ask for help," Sun Mingzeng said firmly.
"Can Big Brother bring the formation flag during this trip?" This is the question that Sun Mingsheng is most concerned about.
Formation flags are expensive. A set of the simplest first-level low-grade formation flags requires at least three hundred spirit stones. A first-order mid-grade mist formation placed in a residence costs nearly a thousand spirit stones.
The Mist Formation is just an illusion-oriented formation among the first-order mid-grade ones. It has no other features. Relatively speaking, the price is not too high.
"We brought a set of first-grade high-grade Fiery Sky Burning Formation flags from the family treasure house, which is enough to meet the needs of the bluestone mine." Sun Mingzeng was very confident in this set of formation flags.
The first-level high-grade Fierce Burning Sky Formation is a purely offensive formation that can withstand the attacks of three ninth-level Qi-training monks.
