She took six hourglasses, placed them on the ground one by one, and said: "One hourglass represents an hour. After six hours, I will come back and wait for your answer."
She didn't feel that she needed to accompany Xia Qingchen to slowly distinguish between real and fake ores.
Xia Qingchen said calmly: "Didn't I say that identifying Yi Mo ore is not a problem."
He just glanced at it casually for a few times, then fixed his eyes on a painting. He took a breath from the air and sucked the painting into the palm of his hand: "The first painting!"
When Ouyang Yan looked over and was slightly startled, Xia Qingchen had already identified another picture and drew it from the air: "The second picture!"
"The third picture!"
"The fourth picture!"
Xia Qingchen walked among hundreds of paintings, picking up one picture after another as if searching for something.
In just six breaths, he put away all six paintings and threw them towards Ouyang Yan: "See for yourself."
Ouyang Yan subconsciously grabbed it and looked through it quickly. She couldn't believe it.
Perhaps she hadn't seen the first few paintings too clearly, but in the following paintings, every one Xia Qingchen grabbed was definitely a real Yimo mine pattern.
The more he looked through it, the more shocking waves surged in Ouyang Yan's heart.
After reading the ten paintings, her eyes were replaced by boundless shock. She held the ten paintings in her hands, trembling slightly, and said: "Impossible! You have seen these paintings elsewhere, right?"
As soon as she said this, she felt it was impossible.
Only a handful of members of the appraisal team had seen the ten paintings, and they were all kept on her body for the rest of the time. Where could Xia Qingchen see them?
Xia Qingchen said calmly: "I am willing to admit defeat! If you are not convinced, you can also draw a few pictures on the spot and I will identify them for you."
"But..." Xia Qingchen paused: "That's just a waste of time. As I said, does the Yimo Mine still need to make a special trip to identify it?"
Ouyang Yan held the painting tightly, her heart trembling with guilt, and she finally looked squarely at Xia Qingchen.
Before, she only thought that Xia Qingchen was a young man with amazing gambling skills and some cleverness.
But now it seems that is not the case at all.
He seems to be hiding something, which is particularly mysterious.
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Yan said in a deep voice: "No need! I will write the letter of recommendation tonight. You can join the appraisal team in two months at most."
In front of the commander-in-chief, Ouyang Yan really couldn't lose face and defaulted on his debt.
- She looked deeply at Xia Qingchen, then turned to the commander-in-chief and said, "Since there are experts here, I won't show my shame and take my leave!"
She had no face and continued to stay with Xia Qingchen.
Invisibly, she was made worthless by Xia Qingchen.
"Wait a minute!" the commander called out, "How about this, both of you are talented people. How about you jointly take charge of the survey task?"
Xia Qingchen naturally had no objection. He just wanted to take on this task and go to Yimo Mine to have a look.
Ouyang Yan hesitated for a while and nodded silently.
Now that the Treasure Union's treasury has been robbed and nothing is left, the City Guard Corps has promised her a massive amount of materials, which can meet her urgent needs.
I can only endure it for the time being and complete this mission.
Commander Dayue: "Then, I look forward to your cooperation!"
After a pause, he said: "You two, go back and prepare now. We will set off tomorrow morning."
So urgent?
Xia Qingchen was slightly surprised. It seemed that the situation at the mine was very urgent, otherwise it would not have been so urgent.
Ouyang Yan knew that the mine could not be delayed any longer, so she nodded solemnly: "Let's set off on time tomorrow."
The commander personally sent the two men out of the golden tent, his eyes fixed on Xia Qingchen's back, his light flashing continuously.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to believe that Xia Qingchen was actually proficient in identifying Yi Mo ore!
"Zhao Feimo is really lucky. I don't know where he could recruit such a mysterious Qianxiaoqi." The commander said thoughtfully.
Returning to the Yunlan battle group, Xia Qingchen immediately entered the camp and took out the branch of the black hemlock cedar tree.
"I didn't expect it would come in handy so soon." Xia Qingchen murmured.
Since we are going to explore the Yimo Mine, digging the mine is inevitable, and the digging tools made from the black hemlock cedar tree come in handy.
One night passed.
The black hemlock tree has disappeared, leaving only a rustic gray-black shovel.
If you throw it on the ground, probably no one will pay attention to it.
No one would have thought that it was a unique and rare nirvana made from trees derived from the sacred tree!
"Okay!" Xia Qingchen immediately led the Yunlan battle group to meet in front of the commander's camp.
Ouyang Yan was also well prepared and led two senior officials of the Qi Alliance to go.
More than a thousand powerful monsters were stopping in front of the commander's camp, preparing to set off.
Those monsters are all elites in the city guard army, and they never leave the military camp easily.
Now they are sent on their way, which shows how urgent the situation in the mine is.
The commander himself stood in front of the camp with his hands folded and said, "I won't say any more. You must investigate the details as soon as possible and report back to the military camp."
Once it is determined that a corner of the mine is really worth digging, the city guard army will invest huge manpower and financial resources in digging it.
"Yes, Commander!"
The three members of the Qi Alliance were in the center, and the Yunlan battle group surrounded them inside, galloping towards the border mines.
Liangzhou City is located in the center of Liangjing.
To get to the border, you need to cross eighteen regions, and the vastness of the region is no small matter.
Fortunately, the monsters they ride on are all the best-known star-level monsters, and they are good at running, so they are specially prepared for rapid marches.
So, it takes about half a month to arrive.
Time is precious, so Xia Qingchen silently practiced the "Seven Star Magic Book" on the back of the monster!
The commotion caused by the "Seven Star Magic Book" may cause a sensation in Tianyue Ridge.
But there is no need to worry in Liangzhou City, similar high-grade Xuan-level martial arts are not uncommon.
Ouyang Yan was just surprised that Xia Qingchen had such superb mental and martial arts skills, and had no other thoughts.
So Xia Qingchen let go of his cultivation all the way and crazily improved his cultivation level.
Half a month later, his cultivation had increased by about one-tenth, and he was still far away from reaching the ninth level of the Great Star.
"If there is sufficient spiritual energy, or under certain special circumstances, it should be more than one-tenth." Xia Qingchen was disappointed.
The further you go in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Only under certain special conditions will cultivation speed up.
Unfortunately, searching for spiritual places in the mountains and countryside is a fool's errand.
"We're here!" More than a thousand demonic beasts broke through a wild forest, and it suddenly became clear before their eyes.
All I saw was a huge, bare mountain range, like a crouching dragon, pressing across the sky.
That is the mountain range rich in Yimo minerals, called the Burial Star Mountain Range!
In the mountains, some areas contain Yimo mines, which have become areas of contention between the two sides.
"We have great rivers and mountains in Liangjing, but enemy flags are planted everywhere. It is really a shame for Liangjing for hundreds of years!" Ouyang Yan looked at a section of the mountain range in front of him.
At this moment, night falls, the mountains are ablaze with lights, and the shadows of people are faintly visible.
That mountain range was supposed to be the territory of Liang Realm, but it was occupied by Zhongyun Realm, and a large army was assigned to guard it, making it difficult to recapture it.
