After discovering that the poisoner turned out to be the rare insect monster "Phantom Jade Butterfly", Zhou Yang was not in a hurry to destroy the monster.
He knew that this "Phantom Jade Butterfly" had a characteristic, which was that it would choose the best-quality jade distribution areas within the jade veins to inhabit.
This kind of monster also has a special ability, which is that it can integrate itself into the jade and sleep like a bug in amber.
Therefore, if you don't see the "Phantom Jade Butterfly" with your own eyes, even if there is a "Phantom Jade Butterfly" sleeping in a piece of jade in front of you, you will never notice any of its breath.
Zhou Yang squatted for most of the night, and the "phantom jade butterfly" dancing gracefully in the moonlight also flew for most of the night.
When it wasn't clear whether it was tired from flying or had absorbed the power of the moonlight, the "Phantom Jade Butterfly" finally started to move.
Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness followed him all the way and found that the "Phantom Jade Butterfly" flew to a position slightly deviated from the mineral vein area he had discovered before landing and escaping underground.
If Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness were to focus on exploring somewhere underground, it would be able to penetrate up to about thirty feet underground. This refers to the ground with a normal mud and sand structure.
However, the burial depth of the Guangyu vein is seventy feet below the ground.
So after "Phantom Jade Butterfly" escaped underground, he actually lost track of him.
However, he was not in a hurry. Now that he knew it was the "Phantom Jade Butterfly" that caused mortal drinking water poisoning, he could just kill it next time it came out to absorb the power of the moonlight.
What he is now interested in is, could it be that his previous exploration was wrong and that there are also light jade veins here?
Zhou Yang was not a professional in exploring mineral veins, so even if he made mistakes, it was normal.
He didn't have any bad emotions because of this, he just wanted to correct his mistakes.
So he waited for half the night, and after dawn, he released his flying sword and dug down along the place where the "Phantom Jade Butterfly" disappeared.
After digging like this for half an hour, Zhou Yang made a surprising discovery.
"It turned out to be [Yun Yun Jade], now it's revealed!"
Zhou Yang held a piece of transparent white jade that was one finger long and three fingers wide and looked at it with a look of surprise on his face.
This piece of white jade is as transparent as crystal, the jade is light and warm, and there is white smoke flowing in the jade that is almost invisible to the naked eye.
This object is called "Yunyu Jade", it is a second-level spiritual jade, and it is a phantom attribute material that is even rarer than the light attribute material light jade.
Unlike light jade, which can only be used to refine jade lamps and jade beads, "enveloping jade" has a much wider range of uses. It is not only an essential material for array masters to arrange illusion arrays and refine illusion array disks, but it can also be used to
Refining some phantom magic weapons can also be used as a medium to cast some phantom spells.
For example, the projection crystal mirror Zhou Yang saw at the auction and the used image beads were all made of materials with similar phantom properties.
In the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent, "Yunyu Jade" is an important material classified as strategic material storage by all major forces. Some forces even fought over the large-scale "Yunyu Jade" veins.
Therefore, if this kind of spiritual object is sold in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent, even if it only sells raw materials, it will make a lot of money.
Not because of the "Phantom Jade Butterfly", Zhou Yang would not have expected that deep underground next to the light jade vein, there would actually be an "encrusted jade" vein accompanying it!
Now that I think about it, the reason why a rare monster like the "Phantom Jade Butterfly" appears here must be because there is a vein of "Yunyu Jade" here, because this kind of jade is the most suitable for the growth and evolution of the "Phantom Jade Butterfly"
treasure, maybe that "Phantom Jade Butterfly" evolved from an ordinary butterfly because of the "Yunyu" mineral vein.
"This matter is too involved. It's better not to disclose the news to ordinary clan members. Otherwise, if the news is leaked, with the current strength of our Zhou family, it will be impossible to protect this [Yunyu Jade] mine!"
After Zhou Yang was pleasantly surprised, he returned to his senses, but he immediately remembered the possible consequences of the sale of "Yunyu Jade".
If a treasure like this is sold for a few pieces on a small scale, no one will care.
But if it is sold on a large scale, anyone who is not a fool can guess that the Zhou family has discovered the "Yunyu Jade" vein, and then I am afraid that Huang Shamen will come forward to get involved and get a piece of the pie.
After all, Huang Shamen controls the way to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent. If a large amount of "Yunyu Jade" can be mined and brought to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent for sale, with the status of this material as a strategic material, some forces will definitely be able to come up with it.
Really good stuff in exchange.
Only after the Zhou family is promoted to become the Zifu family can they barely have the strength to keep the "Yunyu Jade" vein. The premise is that the reserve of this vein is not large!
So next, with complicated emotions, Zhou Yang started the exploration work on the scale of the "Yunyu Jade" vein.
After seven or eight days of continuous exploration, he finally determined that this "Yun Yu Jade" vein can only be regarded as a micro vein in terms of reserves, not even a small one.
Regarding this result, Zhou Yang didn't know what to say.
The micro-ore vein means that even if all the "encrusted jade" veins are mined, the total value will not exceed 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones. In this case, as long as the Zhou family can be promoted to the Zifu family, it can almost ensure that the mine veins will not be tampered with by others.
.
But it also means that his dream of getting rich is shattered!
"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!"
With a long sigh, Zhou Yang shook his head, quickly collected his thoughts, buried the holes he had dug, and returned to Red Fox Ridge.
Since he couldn't tell anyone about the "Yunyu Jade" vein for the time being, he certainly couldn't mine it. He had already figured out the whole story about the poisoning, so there was no need to stay here.
When he returned to Ziyun Cave in Red Fox Ridge, Zhou Yang told Xiao Ying about the poisoning of the "Phantom Jade Butterfly" and asked her to wait until the next full moon night to deal with the monster while he himself
Set off to Yuquan Lake Oasis to meet the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
Regarding the development of sterilization drugs, Zhou Yang thought carefully and felt that it was not appropriate to let Xiao Ying do it, so he did not mention it to her and planned to let his father Zhou Xuanhao do it.
Since the Gripen has not yet conceived the Wind Shadow Leopard, Zhou Yang can only fly with his sword when he goes out. Otherwise, without the Gripen to keep an eye on the Wind Shadow Leopard, this wild and untamed beast will definitely find a chance to escape.
.
He flew all the way back to the Yuquan Lake Oasis with his sword, and immediately went to the cave on the top of the mountain to meet with the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, and told him about the discovery of the "Yunyu Jade" vein.
"Okay, it seems that my Zhou family is going to prosper, and I have something good to tell you here!"
After Zhou Minghan listened to Zhou Yang's words, a very happy smile suddenly appeared on his face. Then he looked at Zhou Yang with a smile on his face and said in a low voice: "A while ago, Xuan Yu went out to hunt monsters to practice, and unexpectedly found a group of wild monsters.
There are more than thirty Shatuo beasts. Now I, Xuan Zhao and the others have captured all these Shatuo beasts and tamed them. It is estimated that it won’t be long before the number of Shatuo beasts in our Zhou family will reach hundreds!”
Just like a camel is an important asset to a mortal family living in a desert oasis, the Shatuo beast, which can be used as a mount and pull goods, is also an important asset to the immortal cultivating family in the boundless sand sea.
The number of Shatuo beasts in the Zhou family has exceeded one hundred. From now on, bulk goods such as minerals and spiritual grain produced by the family can be transported to further places for sale.
This is of great significance to the Zhou family, which already has a bad relationship with the Chen family.
After hearing this, Zhou Yang was also happy, and then said: "Speaking of the adoptive mother, I think it is time to take her to the New Oasis. I think there should be no problem with Ying'er."
"You just have to tell her about this yourself."
Zhou Minghan nodded and had no objection to such a trivial matter.
Then he looked at Zhou Yang, his expression changed for a while, and then he said: "Xiao Jiu, great-grandfather has something he doesn't know how to make an idea about. Can you give me some advice?"
"Great-grandfather, please tell me."
Zhou Yang looked startled, then agreed without hesitation.
"It's like this, don't you still have two Foundation Establishing Pills in your hand? That girl Yu'er came to me a while ago and wanted me to lend her contribution points to Yuan Yao to exchange for a Foundation Establishing Pill for foundation building.
I didn’t agree to her, but I didn’t reject her either, I just said I would think about it!”
"Now that you are the clan leader, do you think it is appropriate for me to lend my contribution points to Yuan Yao to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill to build the Foundation?"
Zhou Minghan hesitated and slowly spoke out what was tangled in his heart.
As soon as Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately understood why this old patriarch, who had always been smart and decisive, acted like a mother-in-law.
He looked at Zhou Minghan solemnly, saluted and said: "Great-grandfather, please forgive my grandson for being rude. Before I answer you, my grandson has a few presumptuous questions. I want to ask you. Do you think it's feasible?"
Not feasible?"
"It's okay, Xiaojiu, if you have anything to do, just ask. I will definitely answer your questions."
Zhou Minghan waved his hand and agreed to his request generously.
Zhou Yang immediately asked: "You didn't agree to your adoptive mother to lend your contribution points to sister Yao'er in exchange for foundation building pills. Is it because of sister Yao'er's life experience or because you are afraid that your approach will make a bad start?"
Let the clan members complain about the unfairness of the family and question the fairness and impartiality of the family, thereby reducing their loyalty to the family?"
Zhou Minghan shook his head and said: "Yuan Yao girl's devil father has been dead for so many years, how can I still care about this?"
Zhou Yang continued to ask: "Then you didn't reject your adoptive mother's request, but you feel guilty because you didn't help her buy the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
When Zhou Minghan heard this, his face darkened, he nodded and said, "That's exactly it!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yang knew something in his heart, so he asked the last question in a low tone: "Have you ever thought about it, great-grandfather? What if you still don't help sister Yao'er to exchange for a building, even though you can obviously help this time?"
As for Ji Dan, will my adoptive mother still have no resentment towards the family and your decision as before? Will sister Yaoer still recognize you as her great-grandfather in her heart?"
"I……"
Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang blankly, his face seemed to have aged by more than ten years, his complexion suddenly became much depressed, and he was speechless for a long time.
