Time flies so fast, three months have passed since Lu Ping went into retreat.
The locust plague that occurred in Lushan County has now been completely subsided due to the joint resistance of all parties, and the peace of the past has been restored.
Seeing that his younger sister had not yet left seclusion, Lu Yuanshan summoned his disciples and announced the remaining two external matters.
Since the sect transplanted the green jade bamboo, Zhang Nianchuan, Lin Han, She Qingqing, and Chu Qin all received a green bamboo sword because they helped Lu Changfeng kill the purple-spotted demon wolf and transplanted the green jade bamboo.
The four green bamboo swords were blended with fire-refined gold through the hands of Elder Zhiwei, and were upgraded to the second-level low-grade.
Now, seeing that the sect has tasks to perform, the disciples are now very active in the sect's tasks.
Investigating the reasons for the pollution of the Wujiang water source was taken over by three disciples: Zhao Ziliang, Liu Shiyao, and Li Daoxuan.
The three of them did not delay for too long. On the second day after taking over the task, they set off to the source of Wujiang to investigate.
The river is the basic source of drinking water for the people. People in the towns around Wujiang regard this river as a treasure.
Although Wujiang is small, it is just a small river, about eight feet wide.
However, the pollution of this water source has brought great inconvenience to the lives of people around the river.
Zhao Ziliang and the other three frequently visited the surrounding areas of Wujiang.
When they learned that the source of the Wujiang River was located and that a new pig farm had been opened in the past year and discharged wastewater, pig manure and other filth from the pig farm into the Wujiang River, the three of them visited the pig farm.
This pig farm occupies a large area, covering an area of more than ten miles. The breed of wild pigs raised in captivity has reached more than 1,800.
This kind of breeding volume will produce a large amount of wastewater, feces, etc. every day.
Since the pig farm was opened by ordinary people and no monks were involved, when he learned about the purpose of Zhao Ziliang and the three of them, and that they were all monks of the sect, the owner of the pig farm did not dare to offend him, so he had to receive him respectfully, for fear of being betrayed by Zhao Ziliang.
Ryoichi was killed with a sword.
The difference between monks and mortals is not only the difference between immortals and mortals.
Even if Zhao Ziliang really killed the other party, the local officials would just turn a blind eye and ignore it.
What's more, the pig farm is already at a loss.
No matter how much farming is done for convenience, sewage should not be discharged at will and pollute the Wujiang River.
This approach is simply causing public outrage.
As a result, Zhao Ziliang and the others came forward, and after some negotiation, the pig farm finally compromised.
He said that he would stop discharging sewage into the Wujiang River in the near future and would find other ways to never waste the water source of the Wujiang River again.
"No need to do so in the near future, just start from today!"
Zhao Ziliang issued an ultimatum and teamed up with two colleagues to supervise the situation and would not leave until the problem was solved.
After such an incident, the pig farm was finally at peace. How could it dare to disobey the orders of Zhao Ziliang and the other three? It did not dare to act mischievously again and quickly changed its ways.
At the source of the Wujiang River, the pig farm discharge of sewage will be eliminated, and the water source will gradually return to clear water. The three people's mission this time can be considered completed.
The difficulty of this external affairs is actually not high, it is very simple.
After Zhao Ziliang and the others returned to the clan for business, Lu Yuanshan received a transmission note in the sixth month.
It came from Xu Yi.
The message in this transmission note made Lu Yuanshan ecstatic.
The information inside is very simple, roughly indicating that when Xu Yi was traveling in the Cangqing Mountains, he accidentally discovered a vein of pyrozoite somewhere in the mountains.
Fire source stone, this is one of the common fire attribute minerals.
Compared with spiritual stones, although the spiritual power contained in them is not as good as that of spiritual stones, it is an excellent cultivation resource for fire attribute monks.
If a fire source stone and a spirit stone of the same size fall into the hands of a fire-attribute monk, the fire source stone can bring about 20 to 30% higher cultivation effect than the spirit stone.
Of course, this only has this effect for fire attribute monks.
If you switch to a monk with other attributes, the effect will be greatly reduced.
But the fire source stone can not only be used for practice.
It is also a widely used weapon-refining material and can be used to refine fire-attributed spiritual weapons of first-order and above mid-grade, such as Fire Cloud Sword, Nanming Fiery Formation, etc.
As long as it can be mined smoothly, the Fire Source Stone can definitely bring spiritual stone benefits to the Qingshan Sect, and at the same time, a large number of new spiritual weapons can be born.
It can even be used to cultivate some fire-attribute spiritual insects, monsters, etc., with endless magical uses.
Lu Yuanshan knew very well that resources such as mineral veins had huge potential and were no less valuable than a spiritual vein.
The function of spiritual veins is mainly to supply monks with spiritual cultivation, planting spiritual fields and elixirs, etc. It can increase the speed of monks' cultivation and cultivate resource industries.
The main purpose of mineral veins is to increase the wealth level of monks.
To the Qingshan Sect, a vein is a huge gold mine.
As long as this fire source stone vein is captured, the sect's economy can be improved in the future, and the spiritual stone can be used to purchase more abundant cultivation resources to train disciples and strengthen the sect.
After all, as long as the money bag is full enough, spiritual weapons, talismans, elixirs, formations, etc., what kind of cultivation resources can't be obtained?
There is no doubt that we can capture this vein.
But it's not easy to get this vein.
Natural resources such as mineral veins are usually monopolized in the hands of major immortal sect giants and large immortal cultivating clans. How can it be the turn of small families and small sects to get their hands on it.
Even if a new mineral vein is discovered, whether it can be successfully captured is still a problem. It is even said that it is unavoidable to be guilty of concealing the treasure and bring trouble to yourself.
If you want to control a mine, your fists should be harder.
After learning the content of the summons, Lu Yuanshan was determined to obtain this vein of fire source stone.
Regardless of whether you can eat it or not, you won’t suffer any loss if you go and check it out.
He immediately wanted to go to Houshan Cave Mansion and report this matter to Lu Ping.
Lu Yuanshan still knew what kind of person Xu Yi was, and the other party would not joke about such things or play tricks.
But just halfway through, Lu Yuanshan patted his head and laughed and scolded himself for having no memory.
My father is still in seclusion, so he can see everything he can.
After thinking about it, Lu Yuanshan changed his route and summoned Lu Changfeng, and the two discussed the matter together.
Lu Zhiwei is still in retreat and is not easy to disturb.
After learning that his disciples had discovered a mineral vein, Lu Changfeng immediately became interested.
"Cangqing Mountains, a few months ago, we worked there for a while and brought back a lot of elixirs and fruits."
"The place itself is rarely visited and contains opportunities. Xu Yi was able to discover a vein of fire source stone there. This kid's experience in going down the mountain was really worth it!"
As he said this, Lu Changfeng laughed to himself, a little unable to hold back.
"Brother, let's not wait any longer. Why don't we let me explore the foundation of this mine."
When Lu Yuanshan heard this, he did not rush to answer. Instead, he pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's okay, the sect doesn't have many affairs right now, so I'll go with you."
After the outcome of the discussion, Lu Yuanshan verified the address recorded on the summons again, sent a reply to Xu Yi, and then set off with Lu Changfeng towards the Cangqing Mountains. This chapter has been completed!
