Daqizong

Sure enough, as everyone expected, along the way, the surrounding caves were all quiet, except for some messy battle traces and the remaining corpses of water monsters, there was nothing else.

The judgment of Qi Yerong and others was very accurate. Just over an hour before they came here, other explorers passed by, but they were unlucky. They encountered tyrannical monsters cruising along the river, and they were naturally hunted down.

As soon as those monsters were dispatched, they rushed out in full force, and on the contrary, they took advantage of the whole group.

After walking for a while, there was a bloody smell ahead.

Qiu Ming signaled the crowd to stop for a while, and checked himself before saying, "It's time to come up."

"These are the murlocs?"

Before nightfall, Li only saw fish corpses all over the ground. These are murloc monsters. Unlike ordinary fish, their fins are a bit longer than ordinary fish. Pointy long teeth grew on both sides of the body, and fleshy legs that looked like tadpoles magnified ten thousand times grew out of the abdomen, which was even more weird.

The small ones are three or four feet long, and the big ones are five or six feet long. They carry stone spears, stone axes and other crude weapons. They look like the ancestors of the human race who drank blood in ancient times.

"These are underwater monsters who have already activated their spiritual intelligence. After refining Qi, the fish body will naturally transform into a Taoist body."

Dao body does not only refer to the human body, but is formed by the gradual mutation of the physical body after people in the Taoist sect refine qi. This is a brand new level of life, and hundreds of millions of species are like this.

The world is so big, except for the human race, other sentient beings, whether it is birds, animals, flowers, plants and trees, can be transformed into this kind of Taoism. , will spread all kinds of moving legends about the love between humans and monsters, and the love between humans and ghosts, because after monks of various races have cultivated to a certain level, their Taoism gradually becomes, and the essence of life is almost the same.

The human race is the darling of the heavens, and is known as the spirit of all things, so their natural body is similar to the Tao body. There is a saying that aliens practice incarnation, but in fact, they still transform into the Tao body.

Qiu Ming said: "These murlocs were all killed by Feijian, but it's not like the corpse I saw just now, it should be his companion."

Li Wandao: "What is the strength of these murlocs? I don't think their demon bodies are very tyrannical, so they should be easy to deal with."

Qi Yerong answered this question instead of Qiu Ming: "It is similar to the early stage of our human race's qi refining, but after all, the murlocs are alien races who drink blood and are born with low intelligence. In addition to their brute strength and some advantages of water, they are easy to use. Nothing else, even the same Qi-refining cultivator who knows a little bit of supernatural powers, or has a weapon in hand, can easily defeat many with one enemy."

Li Wandao: "So, even if we encounter a group of tribes with great demon leaders, we can still deal with them?"

Alien races who have cultivated to the realm of refining Qi can be called spirit monsters or little monsters, those who have built a foundation and above can be called big monsters, and those who have reached the level of alchemy and above can be called demon kings.

However, I have never heard that there are demon kings entrenched in this place, and Li Wan is not worried. At most, there are one or two big demon leaders, with a group of small demons, and they are not even members of the same clan who have not cultivated into demons. The tribes are united and numerous.

Qi Yerong said: "These people will be chased and killed. One is that the terrain is unfavorable, the other is that they are outnumbered, or that there are quite powerful leaders among this group of murlocs. Little, but nothing to be afraid of.”

Yin Changfeng and the others all nodded. They are all experienced explorers. They usually run away when they encounter powerful enemies. enough for self-defense.

Everyone looked at it for a while, but they didn't care much, and they still walked towards the depths of the cave.

After another day or so, everyone successfully passed the river channel guarded by the murloc tribe and arrived at the depths of the gold-patterned jade mine as reported by intelligence.

Qi Yerong held another simple map in his hand, compared it for a long time, and cursed angrily: "These people are not authentic in what they do, and they don't draw it delicately. At least the bifurcations and width and length of the river should be clearly marked!"

He bought this simple map for [-] pieces of Lingyu, and it was also the price he paid for the search for Jinwenyu. The strokes on it all represent the distance of several miles, so if you don't pay attention , I have to go around here a few more times, wasting time and energy, no matter how unlucky I am, if I encounter monsters and ghosts, a fierce battle is inevitable.

The purpose of his buying this map is naturally to get straight to the destination and avoid unnecessary searching and hard work. There are only a few murloc spirits, but fortunately there are not many of them, so they were killed casually by everyone.

After finally confirming the direction, after walking back, everyone walked up the cave and gradually came to an open river beach.

A burst of golden light illuminated his eyes.

At one corner of the mountain, there were a few collapsed rocks, from which a lot of scattered jade stones were exposed, and the warm light like the morning sun shot out, illuminating a radius of several feet. In this bottomless dark room, there is no It is different from the candle that lights the way forward.

Although these are some low-quality associated minerals, they still exude infinite charm, jewel-like, and extremely charming.

"It's here. Sure enough, someone has been here, and they are still digging rocks to get treasures here." Qi Yerong looked at the conglomerate and sand all over the ground, both happy and worried.

What he is happy about is that this is indeed a jade mine, and it stretches for several miles, and the output is abundant. The earth treasure is not what ordinary people imagine, it has already been cut up and placed there waiting for someone to dig it out, but it is hidden deep in hundreds of millions of stones, and it needs to be disassembled, washed, and polished before it can be recovered. Meet the requirements for refining treasures.

This is also the reason why he has to come here in person instead of sending others to do it for him. For ordinary casual cultivators, a few skills are already good. How can he know how to identify and search for treasures?When you arrive at this place, unless you have a cultivation level above the level of alchemy, hundreds of thousands of jins of jade mines will be disassembled together, washed, and searched continuously. For the king, enclose the whole area, and then send workers to mine for a long time.

But these two methods are all fantasy for casual cultivators, and naturally it is impossible to realize them. The practice of casual cultivators is often to pick up a bunch of rough rough stones that are pleasing to the eye and sell them back. People bet on stones.

If you untie it yourself, if you are lucky, you will make a lot of money, or you will completely untie it, leaving only a pile of waste.

What's more, it was clear that there was precious jade in the stone, but it was smashed to pieces with a rough palm of his own. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Lingyu saw the wealth and turned into water, and there was no place to cry.

This kind of raw jade stone with the surname of heaven, material and earth treasure contains a trace of unusual dao pattern in the stone quality, which can generally be isolated from the prying eyes of the gods. Apart from being sure that it can be used for a gamble, it is really It is difficult to determine whether there is jade in it.

Qiu Ming and the others also knew this, and without Qi Yerong's further explanation, they each took out a treasure bag and filled it with thousands of catties of raw ore. After doing this, they looked at Qi Yerong and Li Wan. People, there is nothing else to do.

Qi Yerong smiled slightly: "Li Daoyou, can you break jade?"

Li Wan happened to learn the experience of breaking jade from "Qi Zong Da Dian", so he was not worried about this situation: "I know a little bit."

Qi Yerong was very interested, and said: "Well, let's have a competition and see who can find the real treasure among the rough stones all over the floor?"

Li Wan was naturally willing to accompany him, and soon started searching on the mine bed.

According to the experience in "Qi Zong Da Dian", he recognized that this kind of deposit of gold pattern jade belongs to the category of serpentine jade. Due to the heavy pressure of the ground and the change of geothermal heat for many years, it formed a road like gold. The pattern, which contains the extremely mellow power of fire, has won the reputation of a golden pattern jade. If you want to extract this kind of jade from the original stones all over the ground, you must first look at whether its natural texture is suitable for cultivation. The second requirement for Cheng Baoyu is to feel the power of the fire element, but because the rock formations here have mutated and contain ample power of the earth element, ordinary people can't recognize it even if they are highly cultivated.

Li Wan's method is to use the primordial aura that he has cultivated to the third level, carefully probe into the rough stone, and perceive its internal structure. Since the structure of the rough stone without jade is completely different from the nature of the rough stone containing jade, he uses This method can easily screen out a batch of useless waste.

Then, Li Wan selected and unraveled some of the rough stones that he felt had jade. Some of them were misjudged due to too hasty, but more of them really contained some broken jade quality.

These scattered pieces of jade are associated with things like agate and quartz. Even in the mortal world, their value is not high, but they can mislead Li Wan's judgment.

Li Wan's expression froze slightly, and he quickly unscrambled the other large pieces of rough stone.

Finally, after spending less than half an hour selecting hundreds of rough stones, Li Wan finally freed a piece of gold-patterned jade from among the stones all over the ground.

"Ah, the jade stone has been unlocked!"

Yin Changfeng and the others followed Li Wan along the way, protecting him while watching the excitement. They were excited and admired when they saw Li Wan untie the golden jade.

This is a fist-sized piece of emerald green jade, and half of the body is covered with stone, but it can be clearly seen that it contains flame-like lines, even in a damp and dark underground cave. People feel the warmth of the sun.

Authentic power of fire element!Such a piece of jade is worth more than ten thousand pieces of spiritual jade.

"Li Daoyou, you really deserve to be a craftsman. If we randomly pack tens of thousands of catties of rough stones, we may not be able to unlock a piece of jade worth more than a thousand pieces of spiritual jade. The piece in your hand is worth more than all of us!"
