Before he came to Zhangwei Mountain, he had done a lot of homework in advance and prepared many things to keep out the cold.
Even so, we encountered many difficulties at the beginning and even suffered frostbite several times.
The two ascendants who didn't know much about Zhangwei Mountain would only be in an even more embarrassing situation than they were at the beginning.
After walking a certain distance, Xiaobai turned around and took a look. After confirming that Fu Heng could no longer be seen, he curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Sister, that Fu Heng just now, I feel like he is a little unkind. Does he look down on us ascended ones?"
"It's not that he looks down on us, he's just jealous."
Xu Chunniang explained, "We don't care about what he dreams of. He is unbalanced in his heart, so he becomes jealous."
"What is the thing you dream about? Depend on a strong person and go to the third or second heaven?"
Xiaobai realized that he was even more disdainful of Fu Heng.
"My sister has taught us since childhood that we have to rely on ourselves. Only our own strength is truly powerful.
When you become dependent on others, you lose your strong will, and this Fu Heng is nothing more than that!"
Xu Chunniang smiled and said, "He is an aboriginal of the immortal world. He was born in Zongdongtian, and his starting point is higher than that of most people in this world.
His path has been so smooth, he has not experienced any setbacks or hardships, and his thoughts are naturally different from ours, so don’t worry about it.”
"Yes, I didn't take him seriously anyway."
Xiaobai nodded, and in a blink of an eye he forgot about Fu Heng.
The place Xu Chunniang chose was located at a higher place. After climbing for most of the day, they finally arrived.
"Aqiu!"
Xiaobai sneezed and couldn't help shaking his body. This place is colder than down below!
"Is it cold?"
Xu Chunniang added two more rules to Xiaobai, "How do you feel now?"
Xiaobai's face, which was purple from the cold, turned red again, "I feel much better now, but sister, is your immortal energy still enough?"
"Don't worry. Maybe it's because I've absorbed my vitality into my body. My tolerance for extreme cold is slightly higher. This bit of immortal energy in me should be enough for us to build the stone house."
The two of them looked at a small open space halfway up the mountain. After taking a short rest, they made a rough plan.
"The area in the middle, close to the mountain, can be used to build stone houses. The use of the mountain's shielding can extend the service life of the green stone."
Xiaobai nodded, recalled the homes of other people he saw along the way, and suggested.
"The open space on both sides will be reclaimed in the future to cultivate fairy grass, or to raise some smaller fairy beasts.
At that time, Sister will use the formation to surround the fairy grass, fairy beasts and stone house."
"Okay, I'll do as you say then, but now, it's time to go to the mine to mine the bluestone."
Xu Chunniang threw a quarrying chisel to Xiaobai and walked towards the nearest stone mine with Xiaobai.
The residence she chose was very close to the quarry. Within an hour of walking, she arrived near the quarry.
When they were still some distance away from the mine, the two heard the clanging sound coming from the stone mine.
It seems that there are many people quarrying here.
Outside the quarry, a famous female fairy saw the two unfamiliar faces of Xu Chunniang and Xiaobai, and greeted them warmly.
"Are you two going to mine turquoise? I have mined turquoise here. The price is affordable, the quality is good, it can be cut, and it can be delivered to your door for free. Do you want to take a look..."
Halfway through her words, she noticed the quarrying chisel in Xiao Bai's hand, and she suddenly became speechless.
How can someone who spends money to buy quarrying chisels buy green turquoise from other people?
However, Xu Chunniang didn't mind that she only spoke half of her words and looked at her more.
“How to sell Qing Gang Stone?”
The female fairy glanced at her hesitantly and said subconsciously.
"We charge based on weight. We only charge one Immortal Crystal for every thousand-jun weight of Qinggang. For purchases of ten Immortal Crystals or more, we will deliver it to your door for free. If you cut it, you will be charged extra..."
"Thank you."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, having a rough idea in her mind.
Qinggang stone is very heavy. A piece of Qinggang stone the size of a head weighs about a hundred jun.
Ten pieces of such large green sapphire were sold for one fairy crystal. It seems that this sapphire is quite worthless.
If you buy too much, you can have it sent back to your home for free, which may be attractive to some people who don’t have any storage tools.
Moreover, as soon as the fairy saw her and Xiao Bai, she rushed forward to sell them, and she didn't even notice the quarrying chisel in Xiao Bai's hand.
It can be seen from this that the business of mining and selling green granite is really not doing well.
Thinking about it, most of the people who live in Zhangwei Mountain are immortals with little wealth. How many people are willing to spend this money to buy Qinggang Stone?
It seems that the method she thought of collecting and selling green turquoise stones to earn fairy crystals may not work.
Unable to make money by mining greenstone, Xu Chunniang was not discouraged. This was an idea of hers. There were many ways to earn fairy crystals, and this was the best.
After the female fairy finished speaking, she realized belatedly that the other party might also want to earn fairy crystals by mining azurite, and gave Xu Chunniang a wary look.
"You don't want to buy my green stone, so why are you asking about this? You don't want to steal business from us, do you?"
"Don't worry, fairy, I didn't mean anything like this."
After hearing what Xu Chunniang said, the fairy's complexion improved slightly.
"That's more or less the same. Although this stone mine belongs to Zhangwei Mountain and anyone can mine it, we have been making a living here for more than a hundred years. If others want to buy it, they will only buy mine!
Even if you mine a lot of greenstone, you will definitely get it in your hands!"
Xu Chunniang smiled indifferently, did not care about the fairy, and took Xiaobai into the mine.
The mine was very large, with more than a dozen tunnels inside. Xu Chunniang carefully distinguished the sounds coming from the depths of the mine for a while, and chose a long and narrow tunnel.
We walked all the way deep along the mine road and passed through several forked roads in the middle. After walking like this for a quarter of an hour, large and small green turquoise stones gradually appeared on the surrounding stone walls.
However, these green stones are all defective products left after being mined. Either they have cracks on the stone, or they are too small and have little value.
Xu Chunniang and Xiaobai continued to walk forward, and when they reached the end of one of the mine tunnels, they discovered a mine cave.
There are some traces of mining in this mine, and there are still many complete green stones in it that have not been completely mined.
"Just mine here."
Xu Chunniang took out the quarrying chisel and started working with Xiaobai.
She held the quarrying chisel, dug it into the stone wall, chiseled a circle along the green turquoise stone, and finally excavated a complete piece of green turquoise stone.
With the quarrying chisel, it is much more convenient and labor-saving to mine green granite.
Otherwise, it would really take a lot of work to mine out these heavy and hard green stones.
