In the cave world, Cao Xiu played with the crystal-clear and cold gemstone in his hand.
He could even see a smoke-like thing the size of a fingernail from this piece of cold crystal stone.
This stone is the top spiritual material among the treasures in the Yinhan series; cold crystal chalcedony!
Whether it is used to assist in cultivation or to create magic weapons and weapons, cold crystal chalcedony is a top-notch material, and its price is extremely high. It is often expensive but not marketable.
Especially the chalcedony in the cold crystal, if extracted alone, can be used as the main material for the heaven-level elixir Xuanbing Chalcedony Pill.
In addition, if you are poisoned by fire during a fight, you can easily suppress the injury by using chalcedony.
So this treasure has many uses!
Cao Xiu did not expect that such a rare and rare treasure could be produced in Xiaohan Mountain.
What's more, I didn't expect that the Lin family, who had been loyal to the sect for hundreds of years, would become greedy and conceal the discovery of the cold crystal chalcedony veins instead of reporting it. Instead, they secretly mined and profited from it!
You must know that this is a top-level spiritual material, not the most common weapon refining material like Han Iron. Even if this cold crystal chalcedony vein is only a very small one, its value is far more than a hundred times higher than the cold iron vein!
The Lin family is so brave!
Moreover, the other party made arrangements in the mine. Not only did it collapse the mine and block the way for others to enter, but they also set up a magic array in the depths to block people's perception.
Normally speaking, let alone the two small outer disciples Cao Xiu and Chen Xu, even if the elite inner disciples come, they will never find any clues unless they deliberately investigate.
In addition, the Lin family repeatedly emphasized that the inner sect elders said after exploration that the mineral veins were exhausted. Of course, other disciples who came to explore would not think that they were stronger than the elders, so most likely they would just deal with the matter hastily.
But Cao Xiu was different.
Although he was not strong enough, he keenly noticed something was wrong on the face of the young man named Lin Muyang.
Of course, even if he found something, he couldn't investigate deeply.
Otherwise, if you really want to find out something, you will put yourself at a disadvantage!
Fortunately, he has a powerful ghost whose cultivation far exceeds his own to control.
Baotu Cave's death aura is so strong that it is suitable for ghost cultivation. Otherwise, Bai Lian'er's strength would not have improved so much in just a few months.
Later, she received the soul-nurturing grass given by Cao Xiu and practiced with great concentration in the dead spot of the Yin channel for so long. This made the female ghost's cultivation even further forward. She crossed the most important link and completely condensed her mind.
The ghost body, Dharmakaya, has developed the supernatural power of ghosts!
That is to say, she is the only female ghost in the entire Baotu Cave. Otherwise, if it were another ghost domain, how could Bai Lian'er, a little female ghost, take such a huge advantage?
However, the cultivation of the ghost body only requires sufficient Yin Qi, and it is not restricted by the body like when she was alive, which is why she grows so fast.
Cao Xiu even suspected that if there were enough ferocious souls for her to devour, Bai Lian'er might be able to advance to the third realm of heaven and man within a few decades!
There is no way, in the ghost system, there are indeed many who rely on swallowing other evil spirits to practice, otherwise there would not be so many powerful ghosts in the netherworld!
Unfortunately, although her cultivation in the Ghost Way is fast, she will also suffer the most severe disasters. Unless she does not leave the cave, otherwise in the future, there will be a thunder disaster, and there is a high probability that her soul will be struck by the thunder and turned into ashes!
However, it happened to be used at this time to help him explore the secrets.
Although this female ghost was promoted too quickly and lacked experience, she took advantage of her ghost body.
Ordinary illusion formations could not cover her eyes at all. Although the restrictions hidden in the dark could prevent her from moving forward, she directly transformed her body into a virtual form and used the wall-penetrating technique to cross the mountain that was more than ten feet wide and forcefully entered. In the mine where cold crystal chalcedony was excavated, I explored invisibly and stole a piece of chalcedony.
"Yes, you have made great contributions to this matter, and I will reward you well when you return!"
Cao Xiu made an empty promise of a sweet date and sent away Bai Lian'er, who was flashing her big eyes and wanted to show off her merits.
Seeing Cao Xiu escape from the cave, Bai Lian'er suddenly felt a little discouraged.
She did have many methods she wanted to use, but she was blocked by the mountaintop restriction and could not enter Cao Xiu's body, so she could only use eye contact and words to please him, but she could not use other methods.
If this continues, when will it be possible to unlock my soul seal and absorb his yang energy again?
Cao Xiu didn't know what this female ghost wanted to do to seduce him, and even if she knew it, she wouldn't be in the mood to care.
I was really caught off guard by this discovery.
Just when he was about to call Shen Xu to tell him about this, he suddenly remembered that if someone from the Lin family did something in his room, wouldn't it be exposed if he could hear their conversation?
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, gave up the idea of telling Shen Xu immediately, and started to make serious calculations.
The matter of cold crystal chalcedony was too big, and he and Shen Xu couldn't resist it with their small bodies.
The safest way now is to return directly to the sect and report the truth. When the sect conducts a thorough investigation, he will definitely be credited with a credit.
But how much benefit can it bring to him with just a mere merit?
At most, they can reward some pills, grant one or two spiritual weapons, or teach a few secret spells to improve their treatment among the outer disciples.
But, that’s all!
For things like spells and spiritual weapons, his current cultivation level is too low and he doesn't have that much demand.
As for the salary, no matter how high it is among the outer disciples, how much higher can it be?
His real vice is the spiritual stone!
Without the spiritual stone to restore the aura of the cave world, the water of life cannot be condensed.
If the fountain of life completely dries up, how can he practice quickly in the future?
Thinking of this, Cao Xiu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
The so-called wealth is found in danger!
If he could really plan the cold crystal chalcedony on his own, not only would his contribution be great enough for the sect's senior officials to know that there was a figure like him in the outer sect, but the reward would definitely be ten times or a hundred times more than before.
The most important thing is, maybe he can take advantage of the fire and make a fortune!
If it was just him, Cao Xiu wouldn't be so bold.
But having a female ghost with supernatural powers under his command is different.
What's more, Hanshan City is not decided by the Lin family!
In addition to the Lin family, there are two other monk families!
When Bai Lian'er was exploring the cold crystal chalcedony veins earlier, she discovered that all the people mining there were members of the Lin family, and there was not a single monk with a foreign surname.
This shows that the Wang family and Zhao family in Hanshan City were also deceived by the Lin family and did not participate in it.
In this way, these two families can be used to deal with the Lin family!
Cao Xiu weighed his plans in his mind for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and did it!
