Chapter 13 The Big Mine
When everyone saw the female disciple coming, they automatically moved away, and some even showed admiration.
"I am Lin Xueqiao, one of the five heroes of our weapon refining peak."
"Why is she here? I remember that the Phoenix-tail sword she refined a year ago is already on the 72nd place in the sword list, and she is also proficient in refining jewelry magic weapons. Look at the pair of golden jade earrings on her ears. It is said that it is an extremely powerful self-defense magic weapon, ranking 81st place in the weapon list. Could it be that she has refined other magic swords?"
Obviously, this beautiful female disciple is very famous in the Weapon Refining Peak. This is not the first time Xu You heard the name of the five heroes of the outer sect of the Weapon Refining Peak.
These five outer sect masters, the outer sects of all the Han Jian Sect peaks, have similar rankings. They are naturally the five people with the strongest cultivation or skills among the entire outer sect disciples.
Xu You, the name of the five heroes of the outer sect of the weapon refining peak, has been heard by people, but this is the first time that the real person has seen it. It is said that Lin Xueqiao is the only woman among the five heroes of the outer sect of the weapon refining peak. This is normal. After all, the ratio of men and women in the entire weapon refining peak is the most disparate. There are few women who refine weapons, and basically one female disciple among the five disciples.
"Junior Sister Xue Qiao, you are here!" At this time, the inner disciple in black who had been guarding the door saw Lin Xue Qiao and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Senior Brother Lu!" Lin Xueqiao frowned slightly when she saw the black clothes, but she also said hello.
"This time I'm here to wait for you. I heard that you went to Luoxing Mountain to collect various meteorites, refine materials, and finally forged a silk sword with the ancient forging pictures. From my perspective, this time you will definitely be in the top 100, or even surpass your phoenix-tail sword. When two swords are on the list, you will be promoted to the inner sect in the near future." The inner sect disciple of the Lu surname said diligently.
"Then let me borrow the words of Senior Brother Lu." Lin Xueqiao was not enthusiastic, but was not cold. It was obvious that the inner disciple had thoughts about her, but she just kept a proper distance.
At this time, the gate of Jiange finally opened, and an old man walked out.
The old man was nine feet tall, and although his hair was floating like white snow and silver frost, his body was extremely strong and did not look aging, and he was even stronger than some young disciples.
In addition, the old man had a sensation of energy all over his body, and his eyes were like lightning. Even the inner disciple named Lu didn't dare to look at him.
"Have you met Elder Zheng!"
The inner disciple of the Lu family saw the old man and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. The old man just glanced at him, nodded slightly, and then said, "Can someone send swords into the pavilion today?"
Every day, Elder Zheng would come out to ask the same thing. If someone wanted to compete for the sword list, he would hand over the forged sword to him, and he would go back to taste the elders of the Jiange.
If you can enter the top 100, there will be special elders who use magic to change the sword list.
But to be honest, although those who can make it to the list are only the works of disciples of the Weapon Refining Peak, they are rare and hard to find any high-quality works, regardless of whether they are the works of disciples or not.
Simply put, starting from the day when the four major lists of the weapon refining peak were established, including the sword list, there were few major changes in the rankings above.
Especially in the top ten, there has been no change in the past for a long time.
Not to mention the top ten, there are few changes in the top fifties. There are few magic weapons refined ten, twenty, and thirty years ago that are still rarely surpassed.
This has nothing to do with time, but it has to do with the person who refiners the weapon.
Even within the top 100, it does not change every day. Sometimes, no magic sword that has entered the pavilion for several days may be rated as the top 100.
However, Elder Zheng was quite surprised when he saw Lin Xueqiao today. Lin Xueqiao is also considered an elite among the outer disciples and was rated as one of the five outer disciples of the weapon refining peak. Although he is only the fifth, he is already valuable as a female weapon refiner. Especially Lin Xueqiao's phoenix tail sword ranks 72nd among the top 100 sword lists, which is already valuable as an outer disciple. You must know that more than 70% of the sword list, or even eight CDs are controlled by the inner disciples.
If it were someone else's magic sword, Elder Zheng really didn't think he could make it to the list, but Lin Xueqiao would be different.
At this time, many outer disciples began to come forward to deliver the swords they refine to Elder Zheng. Each of them refined had their own unique marks and spiritual seals, so it was impossible to make a mistake.
Lin Xueqiao handed over the magic sword she refined and retreated respectfully. Xu You followed several disciples and sent his seven-star magic sword to Elder Zheng.
"Is there any?" Elder Zheng glanced at everyone, and saw that no one came forward again, and said, "It will take half a day to evaluate the magic sword. You can disperse each of you first. After the evaluation, the magic sword will be sent back to you with a secret technique. Of course, it can also be handed over to the sect for a certain sect contribution point, or sold to other fellow sects."
After Elder Zheng finished speaking, he swung his thug, and all the dozen magic swords flew up and were involved in the sword pavilion.
Seeing such methods, many outer disciples were envious and hurriedly retreated.
"Xueqiao, I went out a few days ago and I accidentally got a pot of Lingjiuxian wine. I can't enjoy it alone, so I brought it back to eat it with you. It is said that this Lingjiuxian wine was brewed by a senior master a hundred years ago. It is very rare in the world. Drinking it can enhance your skills and improve your cultivation. Just as the peach blossoms in the back mountain have bloomed, and today is so beautiful, it's better..." Before the disciple of the Lu family finished speaking, Lin Xueqiao interrupted: "Senior Brother Lu, I will practice later, let alone I won't drink."
After saying that, he bowed slightly, then turned around and left.
The outer disciples who had not left around him all applauded when they saw this. The inner disciple of the Lu family was very arrogant and very arrogant. Many outer disciples were disliked, so they naturally felt relieved when they saw him being defeated.
Xu You also smiled secretly. He went down Jiange Mountain and encountered Jiao Da halfway, which made Xu You subconsciously touch the Seven-Star Sword behind him.
As a result, he naturally felt empty. The Seven-Star Magic Sword is now entering the Sword Pavilion and it will take more than half a day to send it back. In other words, during this half day, Xu You was unarmed, except for the garbage iron sword distributed by the sect when he entered the school.
This shocked Xu You.
He realized a very serious matter. What should he do if he had no magic weapons around him and encountered a strong enemy? Without a magic sword, Xu You was definitely not Jiao Da's opponent. Fortunately, Xu You glanced at Jiao Da, and the other party also found that he was so scared that he didn't dare to look directly and walked around. It was obvious that yesterday's incident completely shocked Jiao Da. This made Xu You breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, Xu You also realized that it would be impossible to rely on only one magic weapon to support the scene.
Just like now, without a magic sword in hand, I really want to be fooled when I encounter trouble.
"It seems that you have to refine a few more magic weapons on your body. If you have too many such things, there will be only benefits but no harm. You may use them at any time." Xu You made up his mind and did not go back to the house. Instead, he walked directly on the mountain road and walked around the back of the weapon refining peak.
Behind the Refining Peak is a small hill, and a huge mine will appear ten miles deeper.
According to legend, this mine has been dug for more than a thousand years and is bottomless. More than 80% of the refining materials of Hanjianmen are produced here.
The most are fine iron and black iron, and many other rare mineral crystals. The fine iron and spiritual crystals used by Xu You to refine the Seven Star Sword were dug from here. As for the steel jade, it was refined by Xu You himself. Since you want to refine new magic weapons, of course you have to get enough materials.
The weapon refining peak is quite stingy to the disciples. If you want materials, you can exchange them for the contribution points of the sect. But what Xu You lacks the most now is the contribution points of the sect.
Can't afford it?
Then I can only go to the mine to dig it by myself. Therefore, many errands and outer disciples have been digging in the mine for many years in order to earn the contribution points of the sect. Such disciples are also called "miners".
Because he has been here once, Xu You is familiar with the road this time. He has a mine hoe at his waist, and mining is indispensable for these things. From a distance, the mine is a huge pit, and from below the pit, a lot of black smoke comes out. Xu You knows that it is the thick smoke coming out of hundreds of smelting furnaces distributed under the pit.
After all, the first thing that was dug was ordinary ore, especially the impurities with different grades. In ten kilograms of ore, the real mineral quality was only 10% to 20%. If these raw ores were dug out, it would be unknown how much time would be spent just by transporting them in a day. Therefore, the sect placed hundreds of smelting furnaces below, and the ores were directly used to refine them, which saved a lot of trouble.
Of course, there are also some high-quality ores, but unfortunately these ores are in deeper places, and it is almost impossible for servile disciples and outer disciples to go to that kind of place unless they are inner disciples.
After all, there are other threats in the mine, such as poison gas, dangerous terrain, and the most dangerous are various monsters.
The place where Xu You went was a safe area of the mine. Although he would not dig out any good things, it was at least safe. Xu You did not intend to go deep into the mine. He was very self-aware.
Generally, it takes at least two days to go to the mine. It is said that some errand disciples and outer disciples have to stay for seven or eight days or even longer every time they go to the mine.
After all, the longer the time, the more you gain.
Along the way, I found the slope from the entrance of the mine, and walked a few feet below, and I could see the disciples of the weapon refining peaks working hard to mine ore, and the sound of mining in my ears was jingling.
Xu You did not stay in this crowded place. Most of the places are for errands. If there are too many people, the most important thing is that you can't dig out any good things.
If you want to gain something, you must continue to move downward.
Although Xu You had only been here for more than a month and had only been in the mine once and stayed for three or four days, he was lucky enough to find a remote place with few people, and at least the harvest was larger than other places.
So Xu You walked straight to that place.
If the mine pit is layered, there are at least one hundred layers. What you need to go to is the fifteen layers below. In fact, it is relatively safe within thirty layers.
After walking around a deep pit and carefully leaning against the rock wall, Xu You finally arrived at that place.
Sure enough, there were relatively fewer people, and there were only three or five people in a large area.
