Chapter 363 Spiritual Mine
After Qin Ming finished instructing Hua Tianxiong, he returned to Lingtian.
In the refining room in Xiaoling.
The fire phoenix transformed from the soul-devouring poisonous flame danced, and the four command flags of different colors bloomed in the blazing flames.
Qin Ming continued to use the treasure refining technique in his hands. As the last few processes were completed, the four command flags emitted an astonishing treasure light, flew out of the flames and fell into his hands.
"Finally done!"
Subsequently.
He called the Sky-eating Rat back and gave it the Five Elements Flag in his hand.
The Sky-Eating Rat was overjoyed when he took over the command flag, "Thank you Master, I finally got the Five Elements Command Flag, hehehehe!"
"You boy, please practice hard. This set of top-level magic weapons will give you an advantage." Qin Ming said to it with a smile.
"That's necessary." The Sky-eating Rat held the Five Elements Flag in his hand, full of confidence.
Originally, its strength was comparable to that of a late-stage Jindan monk, but now with this set of top-level magic weapons, it is even more powerful.
"This set of Five Elements Command Flags can release magical powers with different attributes when used individually. If used as a set, it can form a powerful formation. However, it consumes a lot of money. You should explore and study it yourself."
"Yes, Master."
The Sky-eating Rat swallowed the five flags into its belly and went to refining the magic weapon happily.
With this set of magic weapons in hand, ordinary late-level third-level demon kings are no longer their match.
Qin Ming sent away the Sky-eating Rat, which was another thing accomplished.
More than ten days later.
Hua Tianxiong approached Qin Ming, and finally got some insights into the recent robbery of the caravan.
Because no matter how secretive the Wandao Merchant Alliance is, it is impossible to hide the news forever.
In the past few days, news of the accident in the company below has gradually spread, causing thousands of waves to rise.
In Lingxufang City and Wuxingshanfang City in the Southern Territory, all major businesses are in danger and dare not send caravans to transport goods.
As a manager, Wandao Business Alliance also encountered its first crisis of trust, and its reputation was directly damaged.
After Qin Ming met Hua Tianxiong, he directly pulled him into Xiaoling territory.
Hua Tianxiong looked around with a big belly, and his eyes suddenly fell on a silver-white miraculous plant in the center of the spiritual field, and he could not move away for a long time.
He looked at the spiritual spring for a long time.
The expression on his face became extremely shocked, "This is..."
"Fourth level spiritual plant."
"There is also the legendary earth's spiritual spring."
At this moment, Hua Tianxiong was refreshed by what Qin Ming showed him.
Elder Qian of Lihuo Palace was simply weak in front of him.
Qin Ming immediately said to Hua Tianxiong: "Don't look at it for now, let's get down to business. As long as you do things well for me, maybe you can also eat this fourth-level spiritual fruit."
"Yes, yes!" Hua Tianxiong was immediately excited when he heard this, and the fat on his body trembled.
"Reporting to the master, I have secretly found out that the robbery of the caravan is related to the Shinto Sect."
When Qin Ming heard this, he couldn't help showing a look of extreme surprise: "It's actually the Shinto Sect? Are you not mistaken?"
Hua Tianxiong nodded, "I didn't believe it at first, but Elder Jin Han of the Ten Thousand Dao Merchant Alliance also found out that the Shinto Sect was on the head, and he hasn't returned yet."
"It is said that a lot of conflicts broke out between the two parties."
"But what's the benefit of the Shinto Sect secretly sending people to rob those caravans?" Qin Ming thought for a moment and asked.
"Not only did he offend the Ten Thousand Dao Merchant Alliance, but he also silenced the Jindan monks. This is simply unbelievable!"
Hua Tianxiong explained: "Master, you don't know something. The caravans that were robbed all have one thing in common, and that is that they have made transactions with the Shendao Sect."
"These caravans all purchased blazing ore from the fourth-level spiritual veins occupied by Shinto Mountain not long ago."
"But somehow, the Shinto Sect later discovered that the batch of ore that was taken away actually contained some sporadic flame marrow ore."
Qin Ming frowned and said, "Fire Marrow Mine?"
"That's right, it would be fine if it were just the Blazing Flame Concentrate, but the Flame Marrow Mine is the accompanying spiritual mine of the legendary 'Excellent Spiritual Stone'!"
"In order to prevent the news from leaking, the Shinto Sect naturally silenced him at all costs."
"I also want to pretend to be someone who repairs and intercepts goods."
"It's a pity that the news still leaked out."
"Alas! To be honest, Master, I almost sent someone to extract ore from the mines in Shinto Mountain a few days ago."
"Fortunately, the elder had something important to do, so I didn't go there. I escaped a disaster."
"Otherwise, I probably won't even be able to see you."
When Hua Tianxiong said this, he couldn't help but feel scared.
These Yuanying sects can do anything if they see benefits.
The best spiritual stone is a top-level resource that is almost extinct in the world of immortality. Even if the old monster in the Nascent Soul stage sees it, he will fight for it.
Because these spiritual stones are of great help in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, one can imagine how precious they are.
Therefore, the appearance of this thing is often accompanied by bloodshed.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be the best spiritual stone." Qin Ming sighed.
The Five Elements Mountain Spirit Field where he is now belongs to the fourth-level branch occupied by Shinto Mountain and Lihuo Palace.
It is not particularly far from the mineral veins of Shinto Mountain.
"In this case, if the best spiritual stones are really mined from Shendao Mountain, how can Lihuo Palace be able to sit there?"
"I'm afraid there's going to be another war."
Hua Tianxiong thought for a while and then said: "That's not necessarily the case. Although this flame marrow mine is an associated spiritual mine, there is a chance that it exists independently."
"Besides, I have been cultivating the immortal world for tens of thousands of years in the Great Jin Dynasty, and I have never heard of a top-quality spiritual stone mine appearing anywhere. I'm afraid it's not that easy to be born."
"Otherwise, the founder of the sect who left the Fire Palace wouldn't have to go outside to seek opportunities for breakthrough."
Qin Ming also nodded lightly, feeling that what he said made sense.
"Hua Tianxiong, please continue to pay close attention to this matter and report to me at any time."
"yes!"
…
After Qin Ming sent Hua Tianxiong away, he immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of Wuxing Mountain, his eyes as deep as a cold pool.
He had a premonition that a huge storm was brewing in the world of immortality that seemed to have just been peaceful for a short while.
A few days later.
Qin Ming went to Wuxingshanfang City again.
He got some news from the three people of Han Yuan that Elder Jin Han of the Wandao Merchant Alliance had brought someone back.
However, even Elder Jin Han, who has reached the golden elixir stage, seems to have suffered some minor injuries when he came back this time, which is a bit scary to think about.
At the same time, the relationship between the Wandao Merchant Alliance and the Shinto Mountains began to become somewhat tense.
Lihuo Palace, on the other hand, took a wait-and-see attitude and did not act rashly because of the discovery of the Flame Marrow Mine in Shinto Mountain.
This eased the situation a lot, but Shinto Mountain and the Wandao Merchant Alliance were completely anxious.
After all, what Shinto Mountain did was really over the line.
"Alas! Being involved in plundering a caravan and silencing them, and also killing a Jindan elder, is no small matter."
"I've heard from the upper echelons of the Merchant Alliance, and I guess they won't let it go so easily."
"Shinto Mountain, no matter what, we must give an explanation."
Han Yuan sighed and said that the people below them were also nervous during this period. They patrolled Wuxingshanfang City every day for fear that something extraordinary would happen in Shinto Mountain.
After Qin Ming learned the news, he immediately felt relieved. The current conflict between the two forces would not rise to the level of war.
…
This afternoon.
Qin Ming was tending the spiritual field in the Five Elements Mountain Field. When his mind moved, he noticed two rays of light flying towards this side quickly, arriving almost in the blink of an eye.
When the light dispersed, two figures were revealed.
They were a proud-looking young man in jade robe and an old man in gold robe.
Qin Ming looked at the jade-robed young man and his eyes suddenly shrank, and he found that his cultivation level was at the golden elixir perfection level.
The other old man in gold robe is in the late stage of Jindan.
When the two monks arrived, the spiritual pressure they emitted caused ripples in the air nearby.
The spiritual farmers working in Jingxue Pavilion's spiritual field were even more frightened by this power and trembled.
However, although the two golden elixirs were approaching fiercely, they were still blocked by the third-order formation outside the spiritual field.
When Qin Ming saw this, he immediately put down what he was doing and went out to greet them. He saluted the two of them and said, "You two seniors have come a long way. What do you want to teach me?"
"Are you the person in charge of Jingxue Pavilion?" The jade-robed young man frowned and asked in the tone of a superior.
Qin Ming smiled and nodded, "Exactly."
"Are you Shopkeeper Lu? I heard that you are also a third-level low-grade spiritual plant master?" The old man in gold robe behind the young man had a kinder attitude.
"It's the junior."
Qin Ming didn't understand the purpose of the two men's visit for a while, so he couldn't help but cheer up.
"I am Yunyang Zi of Shinto Mountain, this is my junior brother Wen Yuliang."
"Oh! It turns out to be a senior from Shinto Mountain. Please come in quickly!" Qin Ming greeted.
"No need."
"I have something important to do here. I can't delay for too long, so I'll keep it short."
"I, Shinto Mountain, want to buy these two hundred acres of spiritual land, and we can get twice as many spiritual stones."
"In addition, I also have a love for your talents. If you are willing, you can also choose to join our Shinto Mountain. I can make the decision and arrange a good position for you in Lingzhi Garden."
After Yunyangzi finished speaking, he looked at Qin Ming quietly.
Qin Ming just thought about it for a moment before rejecting the two of them: "Thank you two seniors for their kindness. I'm sorry that I can't agree. These two hundred acres of spiritual land are the basis for our survival."
"And many spiritual plants have been planted, just waiting to be harvested next year."
Yunyangzi was startled when he heard this. He did not expect that a mere late-stage foundation-building monk would dare to reject them directly.
Before he could speak, Wen Yuliang next to him had a sharp look and threatened in a cold tone:
"You have to think clearly."
Immediately, a huge wave of spiritual pressure swept towards him. It seemed that the two people from Shinto Mountain were planning to use their power to overpower others and buy and sell by force.
Qin Ming pretended to be sweating profusely and was thinking about countermeasures.
Just then.
In the distant sky, another golden escaping light arrived in the blink of an eye and came to the three of them.
"Hmph! Are these two fellow Taoists really shameless? They came here to bully a junior."
As a powerful voice came out, the figure of Elder Jin Han of the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance emerged.
"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Old Ghost Jin. If you don't take good care of yourself, why are you here?" Wen Yuliang raised his eyebrows with a look of disdain.
Elder Jin Han's eyes were as bright as fire, "Is it possible that Fellow Daoist Wen wants to ask me for advice?"
"Not to mention that this spiritual field was auctioned from our Wufu Auction House. As for your Shinto Mountain, if you want to rob it by clever means, Jingxue Pavilion is one of the merchants of this alliance. Doesn't it mean that you don't take Wandao Merchant Alliance seriously? inside?"
In his words, he was not at all intimidated even when facing two Jindan-stage cultivators from Shendao Mountain.
In an instant.
The atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense, and it seemed that a fight would start if there was no agreement.
Qin Ming looked very nervous on the outside, but in fact, he was not panicked at all. He thought he could still deal with the three people in front of him.
‘Yun Yangzi still has more than a hundred years of life left.’
‘Wen Yuliang has more than three hundred years.’
‘Jin Han has more than two hundred years.’
‘It’s better not to fight here, don’t force me to use a mirror to look at you’
…
Yun Yangzi stared at Elder Jin Han for a long time with a cold look in his eyes, then glanced at Qin Ming and sneered: “Haha! In this case, there is a long way to go.”
“Junior Brother Wen, let’s go.”
Then, the two people from Shendao Mountain turned into two rays of light and left without looking back.
Qin Ming did not expect that these two people would come and go as they said.
He stepped forward and bowed to Elder Jin Han, "Thank you, Senior Jin, for helping me out."
"Well, no need to be polite." Elder Jin Han said lightly.
Qin Ming's eyes flashed, and he expressed his doubts to Elder Jin Han: "May I ask Senior Jin, why would Shendao Mountain be interested in my mere 200 acres of spiritual fields?"
Logically speaking, Shendao Mountain occupies half of the fourth-level spiritual veins, and the third-level spiritual fields of his branch veins are far less valuable than the main veins. There is no need for the two Jindan elders to personally take action, right?
"Shendao Mountain has ulterior motives and is secretly colluding with the Yin Demon Sect of the Dali Dynasty."
"You don't have to worry about the extra things. In short, if their people come to your Jingxue Pavilion to purchase spiritual fields again, remember not to sell them no matter how much the price is."
"Since Jingxue Pavilion has joined our Wandao Merchant Alliance, this elder will make the decision for you and give you protection."
"Thank you, Senior Jin." Qin Ming had no choice but to respond.
After Elder Jin Han finished his instructions, he did not stay for long and turned into a beam of light and flew away.
…
In the sky thousands of miles away.
The two people from Shendao Mountain were flying fast in the air.
Wen Yuliang looked a little dissatisfied and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"That old Jinhan ghost is just a name in name only. Are you afraid of him?"
Yun Yangzi shook his head, "Junior Brother Wen, I know that you are the youngest Jindan Perfection in our sect, and your magical powers are also very powerful."
"But there is still a gap between you and that old Jinhan ghost."
"Why bother to get angry with him?"
Wen Yuliang was quite unconvinced when he heard it, "Isn't it just that his life magic weapon has been nurtured for two hundred years longer than mine?"
"Business matters are more important, Junior Brother Wen." Yun Yangzi advised earnestly, "Do you have to attract the people from the Lihuo Palace to be happy?"
Wen Yuliang gave up, but still said, "Humph! And that junior, don't let me see him again!"
After that, two escape lights disappeared into the sky.
...
And Qin Ming returned to the spiritual field, his eyes flickering.
He recalled that the two Jindan elders from Shendao Mountain had come here with great fanfare today, most likely because of the spiritual mine.
And Jin Han from the Wandao Merchant Alliance did not tell him the truth.
