The two people's departure this time was carried out in secret and was carried out as a sect secret.
Apart from Xu Yi, Lu Yuanshan, and Lu Changfeng, no one else knew about it.
The matter of the mineral vein is of great importance, so it is naturally necessary to keep it as secret as possible to prevent the information from leaking and being discovered by a third party.
The discovery of an unexploited mineral vein is of great significance to the Qingshan Sect, and it is also a hot potato.
So this time, Lu Yuanshan decided to go there himself.
It has to be said that this fire source stone vein is extremely hidden.
Lu Yuanshan and Lu Yuanshan went together, and after entering the Cangqing Mountains, they went through many twists and turns and forests on their way to where Xu Yi was.
The purpose of Xu Yi's training here was to travel around the outer reaches of the mountains, kill some low-level monsters, and earn spiritual stones to purchase spiritual weapons and elixirs.
The reason why the fire source stone vein was discovered was also an unexpected gain.
Fortunately, this vein does not extend deep into the Cangqing Mountains.
Half of its area is located on the outskirts of the mountain range, in a giant canyon filled with miasma.
This canyon was deserted and remote. Even if they learned Xu Yi's location through the messenger talisman, it took Lu Yuanshan and the two of them more than two hours to finally find Xu Yi and join him.
"I met the elder."
"I've met the leader."
Seeing Lu Changfeng and Lu Yuanshan coming from the sect, Xu Yi quickly saluted and realized how much the sect valued this mineral vein.
Think about it, how many elders are there in Qingshan Sect?
Just three people.
Now there is only one person when dispatched.
If Lu Zhiwei hadn't been in retreat and Xu Mengyuan needed to be in charge of Guangde County, these two people would probably have followed.
What's more, even Lu Yuanshan, who rarely goes down the mountain, came in person.
"Xu Yi, thank you for your hard work this time. After we explore the specific situation of this fire source stone vein, the sect's good deeds and other rewards will naturally be indispensable to you."
As the leader, Lu Yuanshan has a gentle and humble personality. After smiling lightly, he continued: "Without further ado, let's lead the way."
"Please come with me."
In response, Xu Yi used his light body technique and led Lu Yuanshan and the two of them towards the location of the mineral vein.
Not long after, a green forest covering an area of more than ten miles came into view of the three of them.
Looking around, there is a vast expanse of green, like a green barrier.
In this green forest, there is still this faint white miasma.
Although these miasmas are not fatal, if you smoke them for too long, they will make you dizzy and you will easily get lost in them.
For a mortal to get lost here, not to mention the problem of water and food, just encountering one or two wild beasts would be enough to kill him.
But the three of them, Lu Yuanshan, are naturally not mortals.
"Through this forest, about three or four miles ahead, there is a huge valley. The location of the fire source stone vein is there."
Xu Yi spoke and pointed far behind the green woods.
From this position, you can vaguely see the outline of some valleys.
The three of them did not hesitate, used magic power to protect their mouths and noses, and then entered the miasmatic green forest.
After passing through the green woods and entering the valley, the location of the mineral vein is very easy to find.
Through the marks left before, Xu Yi led Lu Changfeng and Lu Yuanshan to find the location of the mineral vein.
"When I discovered this vein, I explored it carefully and found that a lot of pyrozoites seemed to be born in the veins, so I guessed that this should be a pyrozoite vein."
Xu Yi introduced it, pointing to the somewhat ugly and bare valley, and took out a few thumb-sized pieces of red minerals with uneven shapes from the storage bag.
These minerals appear rough, yet appear crystal clear.
As long as the rough material on the surface is polished, it can be turned into a smooth texture like red jade, which is very beautiful.
This is the fire source stone.
"I think the fire-attribute aura here is relatively strong, and the chance of birthing a fire source stone is really high."
Lu Changfeng felt the fire attribute aura in the air and said this.
He is a fire attribute monk and is naturally much more sensitive to the fire attribute aura between heaven and earth.
As soon as he set foot here, he discovered this strange thing. Xu Yi guessed that this was a fire source stone vein, which was almost the same.
After all, Xu Yi has also dug out some fire source stones and recognizes them.
Now take it out and after Lu Changfeng looks at it carefully, let alone say, it is really the source of fire.
After confirming that the fire source stone was genuine, Lu Changfeng was secretly excited.
As a fire attribute monk, Lu Changfeng is definitely the first beneficiary of the potential value of this fire source stone vein.
Lu Yuanshan also saw the excitement in Lu Changfeng's heart, and thought that his second brother would not have to worry about his future cultivation resources, at least before the crystallization period.
The three of them carefully explored this mineral vein without further discussion.
Since the vein is located in a valley, we don't know how deep it is.
Before mining, one could only rely on brute force to dig out the valley and create some passages for exploration.
Xu Yi had excavated a small distance before.
During the excavation process, some scattered fire source stones were discovered, which can be considered a rich harvest.
This time the three of them joined forces, and the investigation process became much smoother and more efficient.
It took more than an hour to use magic to dig and explore the path, and then we found out the situation of this mineral vein.
Then the biggest problem also appeared.
They originally went in with high morale, but ended up escaping in disgrace.
There is no other reason - deep in the veins, there is a stone mother in the early stages of foundation building.
When using the flying sword to dig deep into the veins, as soon as the stone mother was discovered, the stone mother took action and launched an attack on Lu Yuanshan's three uninvited guests.
Lu Yuanshan had more combat experience and was at the forefront. Without thinking, he used Hongyin Feijian to attack him.
But in the end, he didn't win, and he almost lost the Hongyin Feijian beside Shi Mu.
This stone mother absorbed the fire-attribute aura from the fire source stone veins and nurtured it for thousands of years before it was born.
It is light red in color and looks like a humanoid made of stones. It has arms, legs and facial features, but the facial features are not realistic. There is only a rough outline, and it can be seen that it is a face.
The facial features of this body are somewhat similar to that of a woman. With the raised part on the chest, it looks like a woman carved from stone. Even the outline of long hair is combined on the back of the head.
There is no doubt that the combined strength of Lu Yuanshan and the three of them will not be a match for this foundation-building stone mother.
Fortunately, the opponent's intelligence was still shallow and his actions were slow. In addition, Lu Yuanshan acted decisively. After discovering that the opponent was strong, he immediately turned around and ran away with Xu Yi and Lu Changfeng.
