Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 285 The Secret Underground 【Subscription】

After he no longer had to pay attention to Zhou Chun's situation, Zhou Mingde and his spiritual pet Vulcan Jackal were indeed not afraid of the giant worm composed of swarms at all.

Although the aura emitted by the giant worm is comparable to a third-tier high-grade monster, its strength is obviously not comparable to that of a real third-tier top-grade monster.

After Zhou Mingde's master and servant fought with it for about a quarter of an hour, the aura of the giant worm began to recede.

After all, the strength of those ordinary demon insects is too low to maintain such a high-intensity battle for a long time.

But at this moment, Zhou Chun, who was watching the battle, suddenly felt moved, and couldn't help but look up in a certain direction.

However, in the southwest sky, several monks' escape lights were rushing towards the battlefield at high speed.

After a while, four figures of three men and one woman appeared outside the battlefield.

Among these four people, there are two monks in the Zifu period, and the other two are also in the later stage of foundation establishment.

After the four of them stopped outside the battlefield and observed the situation for a while, a middle-aged man who had cultivated in the Purple Mansion said loudly, "Fellow Taoists in front, do you need my help?"

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately frowned, and the pace of fighting the giant worm slowed down a bit.

He took the time to look at the four people outside the battlefield, and found that the other party happened to be a match between a mid-stage cultivator of the Purple Mansion and an early-stage cultivator of the Purple Mansion, and their overall strength should be on par with him.

Now, although it is a special period for all human monks to unite against the pest plague, it is reasonable to say that no monk would dare to take the risk of killing and seizing treasures under such circumstances, but he is not afraid of [-], just in case, who knows if it will really happen The kind of dizzy person!

So after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Mingde still replied in a deep voice: "Since fellow Taoists are willing to help, Zhou is naturally very grateful."

Hearing this answer, the middle-aged man who made the sound immediately laughed and said: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhou is refreshing, then Shen is here to help Fellow Daoist."

After finishing speaking, he joined the battle with another woman in a red dress who was in the early stage of the Purple Mansion.

With the addition of such two new forces, the giant worms formed by the swarm were quickly broken up by three people and one jackal, and the third-order worm king inside was finally bitten by the Vulcan jackal, and its head was twisted off.

After killing the remaining demon insects in this way, the two groups got together and communicated with each other.

Through communication, I found out that the middle-aged man's name is Shen Borong, and the red skirt's woman's name is Ruan Hongzhuang. Both of them are from Qi State, which is west of Yang State.

This time, the two brought their descendants to the territory of Yang Kingdom, and they also had an idea with the Zhou family, to see if they could find something to restrain the insect swarm.

And they were attracted here because they saw the figure of the giant worm from a distance.

At this time, after the two sides had a brief exchange about the origins of each other, Shen Borong took the initiative to provoke the topic and said: "I have found many insect nests before, but those insect nests were either completely abandoned, or there were only old, weak and sick people left." Remnant, like this place, there are still a large number of demon insect nests, but this is the first time I have encountered it, could it be that there is some other mystery here?"

coming!

Both Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun frowned, knowing that the most troublesome thing was coming.

There are not so many fools in this world. What they can think of, others can naturally think of.

And now that Shen Borong has made this matter clear, they can't pretend to be stupid anymore.

I saw Zhou Mingde quickly interfaced and said: "I also guessed like this, but whether it is true or not, we have to find out later."

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Hongzhuang on the side followed suit: "Then let's start searching now, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

She said "we", as if she knew the Zhou family very well.

Zhou Mingde couldn't help turning his head to look at her, and didn't say anything more, just nodded his head lightly, which was regarded as acquiescing.

Immediately, the three parties separated, digging the mountains and digging the ground to find the underground mystery.

It didn't take long before they almost found the reason.

It turned out that a large number of crops similar to kudzu root and cassava grew underground in this mountain range. Although the fire burned the trunks of vines on the ground, most of the edible parts underground were fine.

The insect swarm can also maintain their daily needs by eating these underground potato crops.

That's why the swarms here didn't migrate away.

After figuring this out, the three parties are undoubtedly quite disappointed.

"I really didn't expect that the truth would be so simple!"

Next to a mountain that was dug up, Shen Borong looked at the potato crops buried in the ground with an ugly expression.

They originally had a lot of guesses in their hearts, but they just didn't think about this simplest situation.

At this time, after discovering that the truth is so simple, how can they not be disappointed.

"Now that the truth is known, the two of Zhou and I will not stay here any longer. Fellow Daoist Shen, Fellow Daoist Ruan, you two should take care of each other!"

Just when Shen Bowen and Ruan Hongzhuang looked at the potato crops in a daze with disappointment, Zhou Mingde suddenly expressed his intention to leave.

Hearing his words, Shen and Ruan looked at the Zhou family for a while, then nodded politely, and sat and watched the two leave.

Watching the Zhou family go away like this, the unwilling Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang searched the mountains several times, and finally they both left this place unwillingly.

On the other hand, although the two of the Zhou family were quite disappointed in their hearts, at least they were not completely unrewarded.

Although the intervention of Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang reduced their harvest, the corpse of the third-order demon insect finally fell into their hands.

Compared with third-order monsters, third-order monsters did not condense inner alchemy in their bodies. This is the biggest reason why third-order monsters are generally not as powerful as third-order monsters and purple mansion stage monks.

But this does not mean that the corpses of the third-order demon worms are worthless.

In fact, the corpse of the third-order demon worm is itself a treasure.

The shells, feet, sharp teeth, and even insect eyes of monster insects are all good materials for refining weapons.

And those corpses of the second-order demon insects that were collected could also be brought to Fangshi to sell into spirit coins.

Because the reinforcements from various countries and factions began to exterminate the monsters in Rongguo, they also offered related rewards to the disciples. A corpse of a second-order monster can give those disciples a lot of good deeds in their sect.

Since the corpse of the demon worm has this effect, there will naturally be people who are willing to buy the corpse at a slightly lower price to improve the record.

But when the two were about to continue searching for something to restrain the monsters in Yang Kingdom, Zhou Chun seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly shouted: "It's not right, something is not right!"

"What's wrong? Zhengchun, what did you think of?"

Zhou Mingde's face was stunned, and he couldn't help but stop the Vulcan Jackal who was transporting him, and looked at Zhou Chun suspiciously.

And Zhou Chun didn't hide anything, and quickly said in a deep voice: "Elder Taishang, think about it, even if those potatoes buried in the ground can be used as food for demon insects, but for second-order demon insects and third-order demon insects, light How can we support them to grow by eating these ordinary food without any spiritual power?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde's eyes were fixed, and he said immediately: "You mean, there are other things buried in the ground?"

"The younger generation can't say it right now, but there must be another story behind this unreasonable thing!"

Zhou Chun answered Zhou Mingde's question in a low voice, expressing his meaning.

"Okay, then let's go back and look for it carefully!"

Zhou Mingde didn't hesitate much, and quickly made a decision.

So the two turned back to the mountain range again.

This time, the two not only searched through the ground by themselves, but also released their spiritual pets to search together.

As a result, after searching for a long time, there was an unexpected discovery.

The one that was found to be abnormal was the golden-armored rock turtle.

It itself is an earth-moving monster, and later mutated into a metallic nature, and has a sense of the earth that ordinary people can't match.

This time, when it was searching alone in the mountains, it vaguely sensed a strong earth element spiritual power hidden deep in the earth, and then notified Zhou Chun.

After Zhou Chun learned about the abnormality underground from the golden-armored rock tortoise, he immediately asked Zhou Mingde to follow the induction of the golden-armored rock tortoise to dig.

It was too much noise, and it was discovered by other passing monks. This time they also arranged a formation that they carried with them to cover up the movement of the excavation.

After digging about a hundred feet deep in this way, the two finally discovered the abnormality underground through their spiritual consciousness.

It turns out that the strong earth-like spiritual power that the golden-armored rock turtle sensed was actually emitted by a kind of spiritual jade.

Deep underground in this mountain range, there is actually a vein of [Earth Element Crystal Jade] buried!
【Earth Element Crystal Jade】It's a good thing.

This kind of spirit jade contains pure earth spirit power, and has an excellent capacity to accommodate earth spirit power, and has a great effect in the field of refining weapons and formations.

Generally, this is one of the materials that must be used in the construction of a large mountain protection array.

Moreover, Zhou Mingde also knew that some Golden Core stage monks would use secret methods to extract the earth element spiritual power contained in [Earth Element Crystal Jade] to condense magic weapons, which could increase the power of magic weapons!
Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, this kind of spiritual thing is the most easy to sell, and the price is also very expensive.

Obviously, those monster insects refused to migrate and chose to stay after they discovered that there was a vein of [Earth Element Crystal Jade] and sufficient food.

If Zhou Chun and the others hadn't discovered and wiped them out, and given enough time for those demon worms, relying on the abundant food here and the [Earth Element Crystal Jade] mine vein, this swarm of worms might have multiplied into that kind of tens of millions. exist!
After all, when winter turns to spring, everything in the land of Yangguo that has been burned by fire is bound to rejuvenate and return to life.

By then the swarm will have more food to eat.

"[Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] is indeed a good thing. Even if this vein is only a small one, it is worth a million spirit coins!"

"But this is Yang Kingdom, our Zhou family is thousands of miles away from here, how can we exploit this vein of mine?"

At this moment, after being happy, Zhou Mingde quickly looked at Zhou Chun and explained the problem.

There is no doubt about the value of the ore veins, but the difficulty of mining the ore veins is not ordinary.

Many casual cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals have discovered mineral veins in the past, but because they were alone, they were unable to occupy the mineral veins at all in the end.

Those who are capable and courageous may be able to sell the news of the mine for a good price.

Those who have no strength and courage can only secretly dig some ore to sell, and they have to be careful when selling.

Although the Zhou family is also a party, but their family is far away in Yasukuni, it is obviously impossible for them to send people to occupy this [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] vein and mine it.

If it is impossible to occupy this place and mine the veins, then this discovery is obviously of little significance to them.

It's impossible for the two of them to learn from those casual cultivators and sneak here to mine!
Therefore, after Zhou Chun heard Zhou Mingde's words, his excitement immediately dissipated, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In all fairness, he definitely didn't want to give up this [Earth Element Crystal Jade] vein.

This is definitely the most precious ore vein the Zhou family has discovered so far, and it is even more high-grade than the black crystal mine shared by the four families.

Moreover, only they know about this mine vein at present, and it can be said that there is no power near the mine vein.

But the reality had to be faced. The little Zhou family really couldn't reach out to such a mine vein thousands of miles away.

Not to mention the Zhou family, even if it was replaced by such a powerful force as Qinglian Temple, I am afraid that the hand would not be able to stretch so long!
At this time, seeing that Zhou Chun hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhou Mingde tried to suggest: "Why don't you find someone to sell this news? With the strength of my cultivation, as long as I'm not too greedy, I should be able to sell the news." This news sold [-] to [-] spirit coins!"

Selling the news of the mine lode is undoubtedly a bad idea, something only casual cultivators would do.

But compared to sitting on a treasure land and not being able to mine it, selling it in exchange for spirit coins is undoubtedly a way.

Thirty to fifty thousand spiritual coins are nothing compared to the value of the [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] vein, and there will definitely be forces interested in it.

With Zhou Mingde's cultivation strength in the Zifu period, it is relatively safe to do this kind of business, and it is not easy to be killed by others.

But how could Zhou Chun be willing to use such a bad idea!
He was not in a hurry to accept Zhou Mingde's words, and was still thinking of a better way to deal with it.

After a long period of time passed like this, Zhou Chun suddenly relaxed, as if he had thought of a good way.

I saw him looking up at Zhou Mingde, and said with a slight smile: "This junior has thought of a better solution than selling the ore veins. Elder Taishang, you might as well guess what it is!"

"You kid, you're even cheating on the old man!"

Zhou Mingde's eyes widened, and he couldn't help urging: "Tell me, what good idea did you come up with?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun smiled and said, "The younger generation thinks that although my Zhou family can't send people to mine this [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] vein, it doesn't mean that my Zhou family can't use this [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] There's a mine!"

"What do you mean by that? Since it can't be mined, how can it be used?"

Zhou Mingde frowned, not understanding what Zhou Chun meant.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately spread his hands and said, "Elder Taishang, think about it, we can let someone who has the ability to mine this [Earth Element Crystal Jade] vein come to mine, and then we can draw from it!"

"Then who has this ability?"

Zhou Mingde followed up and asked, and didn't bother to think about it.

"Of course it's that senior Lin Hongyu. With her cultivation in the late stage of the Purple Mansion, after the insect plague is wiped out, she can come to Yang Kingdom to occupy a spiritual land and open up a stronghold. After Yang Kingdom is robbed, it's hard to think about it like before. Attract powerful people from all sides to enclose the land here!"

"When the time comes, Senior Lin Hongyu will open the mine here, and most of the output will be at her disposal. As the information provider, the Zhou family will share [-]% of the harvest with her, which is not too much!"
