Chapter seven hundred and sixty-eight hidden whereabouts
More than ten kilometers away from Yetian, there are three hills with no grass growing on them. The rocks on the mountains are grey-brown, and there are large areas of frozen soil everywhere. Compared with the mountains and forests with birch trees in the distance, these hills look extremely deserted.
.
If an experienced geologist comes here, he can tell at a glance that there must be mineral deposits under this hill, and the reserves are very large, which can be called a rich mine.
This is indeed the case. This is the gold mine that Chen Xiquan bought. There are drill holes left by surveys at different locations on the hill, as well as some equipment left here.
It's just that although this gold mine has rich reserves, the straight-line distance from where there is a road is more than 100 kilometers. It is very difficult to transport mining equipment in and transport the ore out.
Therefore, although the location and content of gold deposits have been explored in Siberia Province, it has never been able to develop it. In a sparsely populated place like Siberia, this situation is not uncommon.
In the middle of the first hill, there is a cave entrance that was obviously blasted with explosives. In addition to some scattered ore, there is also a large amount of frozen soil accumulated outside the cave. Judging from its color, it must have been recently mined.
If Ye Tian comes here, he will find that a sharp golden aura is exuding from the cave. Even if he stands more than ten meters outside the cave, he can feel that the aura can cut through
human skin.
Of course, only cultivators like Ye Tian can sense it. Ordinary people standing here will not have any reaction, but the sharp golden energy will silently destroy their bodies.
function.
You must know that although spiritual energy can extend people's lives, there is a limit. After exceeding the critical point, excessive spiritual energy will become a life-threatening poison.
Among the five elements of vitality, the two attributes that are most harmful to people are fire and metal. If water represents the most yin and the softest, then metal represents the most rigid, powerful and indestructible.
This is like harmful radiation. People won't feel anything when they come into contact with it, but after a while, the radiation will corrode the human body's functions, which can cause serious illness at least, or life-threatening consequences at worst.
The reason why these three hills are barren of grass is because the Jin Rui Qi is too strong, forming a strange aura that destroys the foundation for the survival of those plants.
"Huh? There are actually people who are practicing Taoism here?"
Holding a hoe in his hand, Ding Hong, who was sweating profusely more than 20 meters inside the cave, suddenly stopped and looked out of the cave suspiciously.
Ding Hong came to Siberia almost a week earlier than Ye Tian, and this gold mine was far beyond his imagination, which surprised Ding Hong.
On his first day here, Ding Hong got a piece of blue gold the size of his finger.
Ding Hong knew that this metal was a derivative of the spirit stone veins. When it was incorporated into the refining process, it could imbue the refining vessel with a sharp golden aura and make it indestructible.
This is not the most important thing. What Ding Hong values more is that the place where blue gold is produced must contain metallic spirit stone veins, and the reserves are not low, and it is very likely to produce high-grade metallic spirit stones.
.
It has been nearly a hundred years since Ding Hong entered the late stage of Xiantian. He is only one step away from the Golden Core Avenue. However, the world has changed drastically. Although Ding Hong has a glimpse of the hope of the Avenue, he does not dare to try it.
High-grade spiritual stones can increase the promotion rate by three points, which is like a life-saving straw for Ding Hong.
It's just that high-grade spiritual stones are too rare, and Ding Hong has only seen the incomplete high-grade fire attribute spiritual stone at previous auctions.
Strictly speaking, the spiritual energy in that spiritual stone was seriously lost, and its value was at best a mid-grade spiritual stone.
Although Ding Hong knew that some sects had high-grade spiritual stones, he could not bring out the exchange items. Now if he could get high-grade metal spiritual stones, he could exchange them for the high-grade water attribute spiritual stones he needed.
However, spiritual veins are often hidden deep underground and are more difficult to mine than mineral deposits.
The gold ore itself is very hard. In addition, the climate here is very cold and the underground frozen soil is as deep as ten or twenty meters. Although Ding Hong has a high level of cultivation and the hoe he holds is a magical weapon, the mining progress is not very fast.
.
In the past week or so, Ding Hong has dug up spiritual veins under two other mineral deposits, but his luck is not very good. He only got more than ten low-grade metal spiritual stones, and three medium-grade spiritual stones.
He didn't see the high-grade spiritual stone he expected.
What Ding Hong is digging now is the origin of the spiritual veins. Generally speaking, the spiritual stones produced in this place are of the highest quality. If they are not found here, he is afraid that he will return in vain.
The place where the spiritual veins are located will be isolated from the exploration of spiritual consciousness, so Ding Hong is also a little uneasy now. He doesn't know whether he can dig out high-grade spiritual stones under him?
Seeing that he could reach the spiritual veins by digging seven or eight meters further down, Ding Hong suddenly sensed a wave of spiritual energy coming from outside the cave, and his face suddenly darkened.
You must know that even within the Shenzhou barrier, spiritual veins are the strong foundation for the survival of a sect. In order to compete for the right to own the spiritual veins, I don’t know how many monks have died because of this, and how many orthodox traditions have become extinct because of this?
The Weapon Refining Pavilion where Ding Hong is located has only a few disciples. It can only be regarded as a small and unpopular sect within the barrier. If others find out about this place, he will have no choice but to give up and leave.
"Let's go out and have a look. If it's someone with a similar level of cultivation, I'll leave with the mined spirit stones. If it's someone of a younger generation, huh..."
Ding Hong's expression changed. After pondering for a while, he finally made up his mind. It is said that the metal spirit stones he mined this time will exceed the total number of spirit stones owned by the Refining Pavilion.
But as the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food. As long as the person's cultivation level is lower than his, Ding Hong decided to keep him. As long as he advances to the Golden Elixir Avenue, he will naturally not be afraid of the revenge of those human masters.
Throwing away the hoe, Ding Hong took out nine small flags as thin as silk from his body and inserted them under his feet according to the directions of the Nine Palaces. The spiritual energy spurting out from the ground was immediately isolated, and the rich spiritual energy in the cave suddenly changed.
It has become thinner.
As the contemporary master of the Refining Pavilion, Ding Hong also has some tricks. This set of Nine Palaces and Bagua Flag Formation was made by him personally. It is used to conceal his whereabouts on weekdays. At this moment, it happened to be used to block the location of the spiritual veins.
.
"Huh? Why is there no one?"
After coming out of the cave, Ding Hong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The fluctuation of his soul that had just been transmitted had disappeared without a trace. If he hadn't felt it so clearly, he would have thought it was his own hallucination.
Ding Hong frowned slightly and said loudly: "The poor Taoist is Ding Hong of the Weapon Refining Pavilion. Since that fellow Taoist is here, please come out with one!"
Although Ding Hong's voice was not very loud, it was like spring rain moistening things. It spread all the way twenty or thirty kilometers away, and Ye Tian, who was deep underground, could hear it clearly.
"Good fellow, these few words are not full of fireworks, but they can be spread so far. Ding Hong's cultivation is indeed extraordinary!"
After hearing Ding Hong's words, Ye Tian's scalp couldn't help but feel numb. The speed of the true energy running in his body suddenly slowed down by three points. His whole body was integrated with the earth, no longer distinguishable from each other.
"Huh? You're actually hiding?"
After waiting for a long time, Ding Hong's voice still echoed in the mountains. Seeing that his greeting did not receive a response, Ding Hong couldn't help but frown.
He knew that Jindan masters could not leave the barrier easily, so he was not afraid of people coming. However, if the other party deliberately wanted to hide his whereabouts, even if it was lower than his own level, there was nothing Ding Hong could do against him.
This makes Ding Hong very embarrassed, because he cannot always release his spiritual consciousness to search for this person, but if this person escapes, he will not be able to guard this spiritual vein.
You must know that although Ding Hong has obtained the spiritual stones in two other spiritual veins, he did not search carefully. There are still many spiritual stones left in those two places, and the spiritual vein under his feet is at least still
It takes a day to dig through.
It's just that people who practice Taoism can travel thousands of miles in an instant, and each sect has a way to exchange information. If that person can spread the news and attract the master, Ding Hong's trip will be in vain.
"Coming? Haha, I'm just afraid you won't come out!"
Suddenly, Ding Hong felt a wave of spiritual energy coming from a place more than 20 kilometers away. He suddenly felt happy. With a flick of his robe, he suddenly disappeared on the spot.
"He's actually a foreigner?"
When Ding Hong's figure reappeared, it was already on a mountainside more than 20 kilometers away. Looking at the thin Westerner, he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
"So they are the remnants of vampires from back then?"
After carefully examining the spiritual energy fluctuations on the opponent's body, Ding Hong showed a look of relief. He had dealt with this foreign ethnic group more than a hundred years ago and knew that they were cultivators from outside China.
"What are you looking for?"
Standing behind Kurt, Ding Hong asked softly. He could see that this person's realm was far different from his. He had checked him inside and out, but this person didn't even notice.
.
This made Ding Hong completely relieved. As long as he was not a member of the same religion, Ding Hong had nothing to fear. Back then, he had personally killed a so-called vampire duke.
"Who, who are you?" The advantage of living a long life is that Kurt can understand most languages in the world, including Chinese.
But when he suddenly heard the words coming from behind him, Kurt was shocked. He jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and ran forward without looking back.
