Chapter 231 A Mouse Falls into a Rice Jar
The formation of Gengjin ore requires enormous pressure.
According to the secret data passed down by Master Minglu's great-grandfather, the average location of the Gengjin mines discovered in the Qinghuan Realm is about a hundred feet below the surface.
Therefore, it is difficult to explore and it is not easy to mine.
Wei Wenxin had only studied with Grand-Uncle Minglu for a few years, and when Minglu taught her, he was forced to do so, and was quite reluctant. He just wanted to be done with the teaching, so some experiential details were not mentioned at all.
According to the rules of his lineage, unless one studies in the mountains for three to five hundred years, one cannot say outside that one is a disciple of this lineage, for fear of ruining one's reputation.
After teaching Wei Wenxin for several years, I didn't expect her to learn thoroughly.
But Wei Wenxin is a person who loves to study.
No matter what you learn, you must firmly believe that the master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you.
Not only did she study the theoretical knowledge day and night, she also summarized a set of methods on her own.
The spirit vein will absorb the free spiritual energy into the spirit mine and solidify it, so the concentration of spiritual energy in places with spirit mines will generally be lower than in other places.
If there is a spirit stone mine in one place, there will be no other ones nearby.
The distance range varies depending on the local spiritual power concentration.
Wei Wenxin could see the spiritual energy in the air. The concentration of spiritual power that seemed very abstract to others could be visualized in her eyes.
By drawing a grid using the discovered mineral veins, she can basically circle out the suspicious locations.
Go to those places again and explore them in detail.
There are many details here.
For example, where a lapis lazuli mine is located, vegetation is generally much sparser than in other nearby areas.
A careless person may not realize this, but if one observes carefully, flying to a certain height and looking down, one will see that the lushness of vegetation in a large area has changed drastically like a cliff.
This is because lapis lazuli has the attribute of wood, and it needs to absorb wood-attributed spiritual energy in the air for a long time in order to continue to grow. During the growth process of plants, there are not enough wood-attributed spiritual energy, so they cannot grow well.
Wei Wenxin's method is difficult to implement, but it is also very effective.
Moreover, she also carries with her the auspicious beast Bai Ze, which makes her even luckier.
So it is normal that she can find such an undiscovered Gengjin mine.
Wei Wenxin was very excited, but she did not get carried away, because the body had not been dug out yet and had not been brought back safely, so it was not the time to be happy.
By bringing these things back, the combat power of the high-level cultivators of the Wanjian Sect will be greatly improved, which is of strategic significance to the sect.
Generally speaking, if you find something like this, to be on the safe side, you should report it to the sect and ask the elders to protect you.
However, the procedures for Mahayana crossing the border are complicated and make a lot of noise, which is not conducive to making a fortune secretly.
She was very fast at mining, and if she put all her effort into it, she could mine a low-level spiritual mine in a few days without any help.
After digging in two steps, you can go home quickly. Isn't that better than going through all the trouble?
Although doing so would be very risky, she, firstly, had the ability to conceal the secrets of heaven; secondly, she was quite powerful; and thirdly, this place was close to the shallow sea, which was not a place often visited by Mahayana cultivators.
So it’s actually okay to be careful.
Wei Wenxin carefully drilled a vertical hole. At first, the mud was very soft and kept falling down with her, but she was not afraid.
She has already reached the great perfection of Nascent Soul, and the circulation of spiritual energy in her body has formed a self-contained system. Even if there is no air, as long as there is spiritual energy, she is not afraid.
Even in that place where spiritual power is isolated, she still has hundreds of millions of spirit stones on her, so she is not afraid of not being able to escape.
The silt filled up the hole she had dug out of, and the water became turbid for a while, but then a current passed by and it instantly became clear again.
It was not until they had descended about fifty feet that the rock began to harden. Wei Wenxin closed his eyes and stretched out his hand, channeling his spiritual power into the stone. The stone immediately broke into small pieces, which he then collected with his storage ring and fell into the water easily.
Continuing to drill down another ten feet, Wei Wenxin dug a small stone chamber horizontally, then filled and solidified the passage, returned to the stone chamber, and continued to drill down.
Now there is no sea water in the passage, and although the air is turbid, it does not affect her survival.
The fire spiritual power rolled around, and his body became dry again. He drank a large cup of spiritual dew, rested for a while to calm himself down, and then continued to work.
It’s not that I don’t want to take a rest, but with such a precious treasure in front of me, how can I have the leisure time?
After digging for more than sixty feet, her spiritual sense finally touched pieces of irregularly shaped light golden Gengjin ore.
What else is there to say?
Just dig it out.
After digging for several years with nothing to show for it, I finally came across a complete mine, and it is such a precious species. The most important thing, of course, is to find the essence as soon as possible and keep it properly.
As someone who had dug several mines alone, Wei Wenxin understood the distribution pattern of spiritual marrow. He knew that the denser and higher-level the ore, the closer it was to it, so the direction was particularly clear.
Because he was worried that the seabed would collapse and cause whirlpools on the sea surface, which would attract passing monks to come and check the situation, Wei Wenxin was extremely careful after excavating. Every certain distance, he would burn out a thick pillar for support, and the edge of the mine would also be burned with heavenly fire to form a hard shell.
Because this place does not belong to any sphere of influence, she is not afraid of leaving her own traces.
By doing this, you don't have to store a bunch of waste rocks, and you can greatly improve the space utilization of the storage ring.
It was hot, stuffy and pitch black underground. Wei Wenxin was too lazy to light a lamp and had to rely entirely on his spiritual sense to explore.
She has a strong spiritual sense and is very good at using it, so she is very efficient in digging.
After digging for three days and three nights, the spiritual marrow was unearthed. Wei Wen felt relieved, but his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
This reserve is really too large!
This is at least a mid-level Geng gold mine!
After ten days, the mineral vein had not yet been fully mined, and Wei Wenxin felt a little numb.
Wei Wenxin was already very tired from concentrating on doing one thing and being in a very tense situation, but she didn't dare to stop and rest.
She had only one thought in her mind, to dig it out cleanly as soon as possible and leave this place as soon as possible!
Seeing that they could not persuade her any further, Ling Cang and Fentian could only ask her to forge two pickaxes and start helping with the digging.
Although it was very slow compared to Wei Wenxin's, there were two other voices accompanying him in the dark mine. To be honest, Wei Wenxin felt much better.
"We should have brought a few mining machines with us. Then we can help."
Wei Wenxin just sighed.
How can you know this in advance?
She also came up with the idea on impulse, so it was not easy for her to prepare a few small boats.
As the remaining Gengjin ore became less and less, Wei Wenxin touched the dozens of storage rings on his waist, feeling particularly at ease and wanting to laugh!
At the same time, far away at the Hehuan Sect's pier, on a luxurious cruise ship, a handsome male cultivator finally climbed out of the gorgeous shell bed.
With a light kick, he kicked the haggard female cultivator beside him away.
The female cultivator was unable to resist and flew out of the cabin window. She fell into the sea with a "thump" and did not surface for a long time.
There is a method for male practitioners to roughly feel the direction of opportunities that are beneficial to them. If they follow the guidance, they will gain something.
At this moment, he felt something in his heart, so he headed straight to the east without taking his followers with him.
This person's Taoist name is Xunhuan. He is a very famous second-generation immortal in the Hehuan Sect and is best at the art of collecting and replenishing energy.
Last night before going to bed, the King of Volumes taught me his tricks to make life less tiring. In short, if you don't work, you won't be tired, and if you don't work, there's no life. For example, if you don't stare at the floor, the floor won't be dirty, if you take a shower less often, you won't have to wash so many clothes, if you order takeout, you won't have to cook... something like that. I was already sleepy, but I forced myself to get up and beat him. After beating him, I felt refreshed and went to sleep. As a result, he went to my daughter's room and taught her to be more diligent, saying that if mommy takes it easy, he would be beaten less. After teaching my daughter, he went to tell my two-year-old son to be more diligent. Then he said that I don't know how to teach children, and there are two such big laborers left unused. If I wasn't too tired, I would have gotten up and beaten him again. Knowing that he is a hands-off boss, I don't bother to waste my breath on him. As long as he works honestly, gets paid on time, and takes time to take care of the baby every day, I rarely ask him to do housework. As a result, he came to point fingers at me, saying that I was tired because of myself, and I have no merit or hard work, only hard work. Oh, I didn't think about whether eating takeout for a long time would be healthy, and whether the family expenses could be afforded. In more than ten years, I have lost my temper and got angry to the point of fighting only twice or three times. What's more infuriating is that while I was scolding and beating him, he couldn't help laughing out loud under the thick winter quilt. Maybe humorous people can also be funny when scolding others. When I woke up today, I thought about what happened last night, and I was not angry at all. I was in a happy mood to write. I was really infected by the weirdos, and I am also a weirdo.
