Chapter 7: Practicing magic and calculating cleverly, exchanging spirit stones at the forging worksh
It was getting dark, and Yu Xian dragged his tired body out of the mine.
He wrapped the four Fierce Yang Essence Stones and carefully placed them inside his clothes so that no one could notice them.
Similarly, the disciples who were mining everywhere came back with faces full of joy, helplessness, or anger.
They may know each other and form groups.
There may be others like Yu Xian, who are alone.
Some went straight to the steward's residence and exchanged today's harvest for spiritual stones.
Some returned to their homes in silence.
Yu Xian returned to his residence in silence.
He dug up the Fierce Sun Stone, but he couldn't hand it over today!
In an abandoned mine, on the first day he entered, he dug out four Lieyang Essence Stones, which were also high-quality Lieyang Essence Stones.
This will definitely arouse the suspicion of those people!
Never let the second person know about the jade pendant, otherwise he will be in great danger of life and death!
And he doesn't have a storage bag now, which is something only the inner disciples of the Foundation Establishment Sect can get.
Therefore, even with the jade pendant to guide him, he couldn't dig too much of the Fierce Yang Essence Stone.
Otherwise, if there is no place to put it, it will be easily noticed by others.
He still understands the principle of children holding gold in the busy city.
Back in the house, Yu Xian cleaned up the dust in the house, then sat cross-legged on the bed and started practicing.
Among the small five element spells, the fireball technique has been completely mastered, and its power will increase with the increase of the realm and the thickness of the air sea.
Next, Yu Xian turned his attention to the small earth shield technique.
With the means of attack, it is natural to have means of defense.
"rise!"
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this half month, Yu Xian didn't even leave the door, just practicing the small earth shield technique.
Just hearing a low shout, inside the house, Yu Xian raised his hand, and countless rustic elements gathered out of thin air, turning into a thin earth shield in the blink of an eye, blocking Yu Xian's body.
Even though this earth shield is only half an inch thick, its defensive power is really good.
Yu Xian stabbed with all his strength with his dagger before he could barely pierce it and explode.
With joy in his eyes, Yu Xian waved his hand and the earth shield dispersed.
I have finally mastered the small earth shield technique.
There is attack and defense, well, then it’s time to learn treatment methods.
A little hydrotherapy.
Another half month.
Inside the house, Yu Xian made a slight gesture, and a wave of water began to swim along his body. However, Yu Xian had no external or internal injuries, so the wave disappeared automatically after swimming around.
He also thoroughly mastered the small hydrotherapy technique.
"Yu Xian!"
But at this moment, a low shout suddenly came from outside.
Yu Xian's heart moved, knowing that what was supposed to come would always come, so he got off the bed and opened the door.
The third child stood in front of the door, looked at Yu Xian and said with a cold face: "One month has come, where is your Fierce Yang Essence Stone? If you can't hand it over, uh..."
The third child was speechless.
Because Yu Xian had already held a Fierce Yang Essence Stone in one hand and sent it to Lao San. He said respectfully: "It's a blessing that I have honored my destiny and dug one out."
The third child looked at the Fierce Yang Essence Stone with a puzzled expression. He looked at Yu Xian, then looked at the Fierce Yang Essence Stone carefully, and couldn't help but said: "That's what you're doing... that D-Ten "Dig it in Mine No. 8?"
"Um."
Yu Xian nodded, with a look of rejoicing on his face and said, "This disciple has worked hard for a month before he dug out this one. Elder, the mine is probably exhausted because of my talkativeness, right?"
"Oh, whether it is exhausted or not, it doesn't matter what you say, I will measure it myself!"
The third child reached out and grabbed the Fierce Yang Essence Stone, and said indifferently: "dig hard! There will be more next month! If you work for three years, we will consider applying for a change of place for you!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Yu Xian looked at the retreating figure of the third child and closed the door calmly.
Paying the Fiery Yang Essence Stone on a monthly basis, with the jade pendant, Yu Xian didn't have to worry about not being able to pay it.
But similarly, Yu Xian can't just stay like this!
The jade pendant has such functions, it’s almost heaven-defying!
If he cannot make good use of it and only wants to pay monthly, he is simply three points stupider than a fool.
But he must not act too hastily, otherwise he can mine more quickly once others discover him.
The steward in the late stage of Qi Condensation and several elders in the middle stage of Qi Condensation will definitely be greedy, and no matter what means they use, they will make him spit out his secrets.
Yu Xian's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself. After a while, he calmed down and began to practice the small wind blade technique.
Nowadays, although there are attack, defense and healing.
But the means of attack must continue to increase!
Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the house, Yu Xian raised his hand and pointed, and the wind condensed like a knife. He moved forward in an instant and cut a thick wooden board in half.
The little wind blade technique is done.
Yu Xian retracted his hand, exhaled, counted the time, opened the door, and strode towards the house of the steward and the elders.
During this time, he also found out that the person in charge was named Zhao Mulin.
The other three elders are Sun Bingcheng, Liu Xue, and the third elder, Zhang Laosan.
This steward, the three elders do not have to mine, they are only responsible for collecting and exchanging spiritual stones for the disciples who mine.
When the mines are harvested at the end of the year, the chief stewards of Hundred Mines and the owners of the mines will naturally take note of their contributions.
As stewards and elders, the houses they live in are much larger and more luxurious than those of the mining disciples.
Yu Xian stood in front of the door, knocked on the door and said, "Disciple Yu Xian, please see the steward."
"Yu Xian? What's the matter with you?"
Zhao Mulin's voice came from inside the house.
"This disciple has just dug up a Fierce Yang Essence Stone and wants to exchange it for the Spiritual Stone."
The door suddenly opened. Zhao Mulin was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room. He looked at Yu Xian and said suspiciously, "You dug another one? In the Ding No. 18 mine?"
"Yes, my disciple is pretty lucky."
Yu Xian smiled shyly, came to Zhao Mulin, took out the Lieyang Essence Stone from his arms, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Please check it with the steward."
Zhao Mulin narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand, and the Fierce Sun Stone was in his palm.
One and a half months to dig two Blazing Sun Essence Stones, which is naturally not a lot, but the mine is a waste mine.
I originally planned to follow Senior Brother Huang's wishes and find a reason to kick this kid out of Baiyun Sect.
Unexpectedly, this kid could actually dig out two Fierce Sun Essence Stones from the abandoned mine?
Luck?
Zhao Mulin turned over with one hand, and the Fierce Sun Stone disappeared without a trace.
With a half-smile on his face, he said: "You are really lucky, very good, but you are exchanging it for spiritual stones now. If you can't dig it out in the next half month, you know what will happen. How about handing this one over in advance?”
Yu Xian said without being humble or arrogant: "My luck is not bad. If you work harder, you should be able to dig out another one in the next half month. Moreover, I am in urgent need of spiritual stones to practice. Please exchange it for me, Lord Steward."
Zhao Muling's expression froze slightly, and he said with a cold look in his eyes: "Okay, I'll wait for your luck."
After saying that, he waved his hand and ten low-grade spiritual stones fell to the ground.
Spiritual stones, the currency of the spiritual world, are indispensable treasures for practitioners.
It was also the first time that Yu Xian saw the spirit stone.
These ten low-grade spiritual stones emit a bright white light, each one is about the size of a fist. The rich spiritual energy is trapped in the shell and can be absorbed at any time.
Yu Xian's expression remained unchanged, he bent down to pick up all ten spirit stones, wrapped them in cloth, bowed and said "disciple, leave", then turned and left the house.
"Shameless things..."
Zhao Mulin looked at the door indifferently, muttered to himself, raised his hand, and the door slammed shut.
Yu Xian carried a package containing ten low-grade spiritual stones and returned to the house under the envious eyes of several people.
After half a month, he took out another Fierce Yang Essence Stone, and it did not arouse Zhao Mulin's suspicion.
But if I take one out at the end of the month, they will probably become suspicious.
After all, it was an abandoned mine. After extensive investigation, it was determined that there were no ore resources.
But now that I have ten spirit stones, I am more flexible.
Yu Xian looked through the crack in the door at the teleportation array in the distance with bright eyes.
No mine vein will prevent the disciples from returning to the sect through the teleportation array.
Just one trip back requires the transmission fee of two low-grade spiritual stones, so the round trip costs four.
Therefore, unless there is something very important, no disciple will waste this spiritual stone.
Their spiritual stones will only be used to practice hard.
But Yu Xian... can go back!
The value of the Lieyang Essence Stone in the Zongmen Forging Workshop must be higher than that in Zhao Mulin, and no one knows his identity.
Withdrawing his gaze, Yu Xian sat cross-legged, took out two spiritual stones, held one in each hand, and closed his eyes to practice.
Even if it is a low-grade spiritual stone, its spiritual energy is very pure for Yu Xian who is in the early stage of condensing energy.
Under the rolling blessing, the sea of qi churns and expands little by little again. At the same time, the sea of qi that is like white clouds also begins to thicken and transforms towards liquefaction.
After an unknown amount of time, the two spiritual stones turned into ordinary stones, the spiritual energy inside was sucked clean, and Yu Xian opened his eyes.
Getting out of bed, picking up the mining knife, and taking advantage of the darkness, Yu Xian entered the D-18 mine again.
Three hours later, it was still dark, and Yu Xian walked out of the mine tiredly, his eyes shining with light.
He didn't even return to the house, but walked directly into the teleportation array, placed two low-grade spiritual stones, activated the teleportation, and disappeared.
The next moment, he returned to the main hall where he entered the teleportation array.
The hall at night was not as lively as it was during the day, but there were still many disciples coming in and out of the teleportation array.
It seems that I am not the only one who has dug up good ore and doesn't want to exchange it on the spot. I just want to see whether the value of the ore is worth wasting four low-grade spiritual stones back and forth.
After walking out of the teleportation array, Yu Xian went straight to the forging workshop.
In more than a month, he not only practiced cultivation, but also almost finished reading the two books "Hundred Mines Record" and "World Miscellaneous Talk".
World Miscellaneous Talk talks about many things, including the arrangement of Baiyun Sect.
The Forging Workshop is located on the west side of the giant peak, occupying the mountain's fire veins. Every day, it forges a large number of basic materials for the inner disciples to use to refine weapons and treasures.
Yu Xian walked for more than half an hour before teleporting from the Hundred Mines Hall to the west forging workshop.
Because of the earth fire veins, the temperature around the forging workshop has increased significantly. Many disciples are in a hurry, coming to buy what they need or sell various mineral materials.
Yu Xian entered the main hall and went straight to the side hall where items could be exchanged as if he was familiar with the roads.
Although the six outer sect disciples serve the inner sect, they will not cut off the path of the outer sect disciples.
Outer disciples can also come in exchange for the elixirs and materials they need for practice, but there is a price.
Yu Xian walked in, glanced at it, and then strode towards a middle-aged man at the counter.
This middle-aged man just finished a transaction with a disciple, and took his three gold marrow ores and exchanged them for 18 spirit stones.
Seeing Yu Xian coming at this moment, he glanced at him and said lightly: "What ore are you selling?"
Yu Xian's clothes are easy to identify. He is an outer disciple of Baiyun Sect. They look the same, but in fact there are subtle differences between each workshop.
Yu Xian said calmly: "I wonder how many spirit stones can be exchanged for the Lieyang Essence Stone?"
"The Lieyang Essence Stone..."
The middle-aged man looked Yu Xian up and down. Seeing that he was not very old, a cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "One can be exchanged for twelve low-grade spirit stones."
Yu Xian knew that he must have taken a little advantage, but compared to exchanging it with Zhao Muling in the mining area, he had already made a lot.
So Yu Xian nodded and said: "Okay!"
After that, he reached out and touched his arms. His slightly bulging chest suddenly flattened, and a package was taken out by him.
The middle-aged man's eyebrows trembled, and then his eyes lit up!
When the package was opened, twelve Fiery Sun Essence Stones were revealed, shining like twelve light bulbs all around!
