Chapter 156 There Are People in the World Who Are Even More Despicable than Mr. Shen!
Dahei was very angry.
He grabbed the red claws with two big claws and stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them hard.
"Master, I will definitely find it out."
Killing my people and stealing my master's ore, your conscience is very bad.
After Shen Lian searched the original place, he did not find too many things left. The red crystal fire ants, like the black horn ants, belong to the common ant tribe in the world of immortal cultivation.
After moving a little, he rebuilt this ant nest and took Dahei to the next ant nest.
"Master, the red crystal fire ants are too much."
Shen Lian looked at Dahei in surprise. After being promoted to the second level, Dahei's intelligence has increased a lot. He can even use slightly complex words.
After discovering the first destroyed ant nest, more than ten destroyed black horn ant nests were discovered one after another, most of which left traces of red crystal fire ants.
The area covers the north and east of the red crystal mining city.
Shen Lian's method is also very simple. He rebuilt the outside of the ant nest and waited for these guys to appear again.
…
Ten thousand miles northeast of the Red Crystal Mine City, there is the Fire Valley Market.
The mountains and fields are full of wild atmosphere, and occasionally there are dull roars of monsters.
The valley is steaming, and occasionally there are ding-dong sounds.
There is a small fire vein in the valley here, which is occupied by a fake Dan Zhenren named Huo Gan, and a defensive formation has been built, attracting a small number of cultivators to come to practice and refine weapons.
Compared with the city built by the sect, the security of the private market is worse, but the freedom is greatly increased, and some black goods can also be sold.
"Here?"
Outside the Fire Valley Market, Shen Lian's figure flew over.
Soon after he rearranged the ant nest, he waited for the appearance of the Red Crystal Fire Ant.
The degree of metamorphosis of this group of Red Crystal Fire Ants is much stronger than that of the Black Horned Ants, and they have also grown a pair of red wings, which can continue to fly short distances.
Due to low intelligence, they can't see too many things, so they can only follow from a distance to the Fire Valley Market.
This market is indeed unusual from the outside. It is a small circle. The whole valley stretches for more than ten miles, with only fifty or sixty attic buildings, each built on the spiritual vein spring.
"Extreme Fire Sky Thunder Array."
Sensing the flames rising in the valley, Shen Lian identified the array that guarded the valley.
This array uses the power of earth fire to attract sky thunder. Although the grade is second-grade upper grade, with the blessing of the earth fire power here, the power is no less than the third grade.
It is normal that there is no third-grade array. There is no shortage of ore and monsters in the mining area, but in order to control the scattered cultivators outside, the sect restricts the inflow of third-grade arrays.
Of course, even if it is placed outside the mining area, the third-grade array is not easy to buy.
After observing outside for a while, Shen Lian controlled the spirit puppet and sneaked into the depths of the earth, ready to investigate.
The underground of the Fire Valley is very hot, and a spiritual vein with a red color intermittently lies under the valley.
But the spirit puppet sensed a resentful breath on the spirit vein. The spirit vein belongs to the spirit of heaven and earth. Most spirit veins will stay where they are born. There are also a few spirit veins with lively spirits, who like to wander around like street urchins, but they are a minority after all.
But even if the spirit vein stops in place, its overall spirit is flowing.
At this moment, the spirit vein below the Fire Valley was fixed, and dozens of copper pillars covered with wolf fang barbs were inserted from front to back.
Each barb flashed with forbidden spiritual light, which pierced into the body of the spirit vein to form a kind of adhesion, making the flow of the spirit vein worse.
When the spirit puppet approached the spirit vein, the restrictions around the spirit vein suddenly lit up. These were warning restrictions to prevent people from approaching the spirit vein.
The spirit veins in the valley were intermittent, and there were more than a dozen bulges on the entire spirit vein, just like large and small spiritual energy lakes.
Above the largest spiritual energy lake, a large area of fire fog was shrouded outside.
Another function of the warning ban arranged around the spirit vein is to prevent cultivators from approaching the area covered by the fire fog.
Shen Lian found that the formations and bans arranged in the valley were very mysterious. He tried from four directions respectively. Without touching the ban, his mind could not sense the scene in the fire fog at all.
…
In the fire fog, a red cave was pressed above the spirit vein lake.
In the cave, the heat wave was rolling.
A giant tripod was placed on the ground fire. There was a special opening under the tripod, which led to the spiritual power below to turn into flames and burn the giant tripod constantly.
Some cultivators poured buckets of ore particles into the giant tripod, turned it with the ground fire, and directly melted it into liquid, and then poured it into the irregular mold.
Before the metal solution cooled down, it was lifted to another stone chamber.
There were cultivators here, digging out the cold metal and throwing it into a giant tripod that was shaking constantly.
After the collision in the giant cauldron, these secondary smelted ores had cracks and broken surfaces, and were stained with soil.
…
Outside the Huogu Market, a tall memorial archway stood, and two second-level foundation-building cultivators were stationed at the door.
“Senior, do you have a certificate?”
Seeing Shen Lian coming from afar, one of the cultivators landed in front.
“Certificate?”
“Senior, you just came to the Red Crystal Mine City, right?”
“Yes.” Shen Lian nodded, “I went out of the city to hunt monsters, and I saw a market here from a distance and wanted to come here to rest.”
“Senior, it’s like this, my Huo Gan Zhenren…”
As soon as the monk opened his mouth to explain, he paused in his words.
Then I saw a monk with a ninth-floor foundation flying out of Fang City.
"Fellow Taoist, I've invited Gong Zhongze, the manager of Xiahuogufang City."
The monk who flew out of the market was dressed in red fire clothes, looked old and had a slight hunchback.
"Lu Shan, I was hunting monsters in the mountains. I happened across Fangshi and wanted to take a look around."
Gong Zhongze waved away the monk at the door and clasped his fists towards Shen Lian.
"My master likes peace and quiet. The purpose of establishing a market here is just for peace and quiet. The monks who come and go on weekdays are all familiar with each other, but he is neglecting fellow Taoists."
"It is Lu's fault to disturb the real person's Qing Dynasty."
Although Shen Lian said this, he didn't take it seriously in his heart. There was no way to achieve false elixirs, and anyone who didn't pursue a career and play with elegance would just have nothing to do with cultivation.
Then I leave?
"Fellow Taoist, please wait."
Gong Zhongze stretched out his withered palm and gave it a weak hold.
"Fellow Taoist came at the right time. There was a turmoil in the beast tide a few days ago. Many fellow Taoists came to hunt monsters and accumulated a lot of good things. My master is just planning to hold a bartering party. If you are interested, you can Come and have a little gathering.”
Then, Gong Zhongze laughed twice and said, "Fellow Taoist, once it's strange, it will be familiar again."
"They are all Taoist friends from the ninth floor of the foundation building. There are not many people, only seven or eight."
"If the real person gives you face, the junior will naturally take care of you."
Shen Lian smiled and spoke. He walked around outside Fangshi and found no nest of red crystal fire ants.
If you want to separate a ray of spiritual thought and attach it to the fire ant, when the fire ant passes through the peripheral restriction of the spiritual vein, it will cause the induction of the restriction.
It can be seen how cautious and cautious the monks who established this city were. They thought of all the ways to be spied on and took precautions in advance.
Go in and take a look first. If he is really good, you can only recognize him this time...he came with the purpose of learning.
Learn from other people’s advanced training models.
Of course, Shen Lian didn't just lick his face and dig in. The spirit puppet and the puppet talisman were guarding outside Fang City.
Whenever there is anything unusual, the puppet talisman will bring the Tianyan Jade Talisman and use high-end tactics to fight.
Even if the formation here is blessed by underground spiritual veins, there is still no problem in blasting a big hole at one point under the bombardment of several puppet runes.
Besides, Shen Lian himself has spiritual thoughts comparable to those of Master Jindan, and the spiritual thoughts of the fake Master Jindan who are in charge of Fangshi are probably not as good as his.
The inside and outside are combined, and the center blooms.
He was led by Gong Zhongze towards the interior of Fangshi. Along the way, Gong Zhongze also introduced the relevant aspects of Fangshi.
Master Huo Gan is an artifact refiner, and he relies on the mining city to practice. He has a lot of good things in his collection, and he often holds some private trade fairs.
But if you want to participate in the private trade fair of Master Huogan, you must be at least a ninth-level foundation-building monk. Those with low strength are not qualified at all.
Of course, those who are stronger than the fake elixir are not invited.
"Fellow Taoist, come with me. Several fellow Taoists have already arrived in advance."
Gong Zhongze pointed to several attics in the valley.
"My master told me to wait for two more days. If no other suitable Taoist friends come, we will start the trade fair directly."
"Fellow Taoist, you can choose a pavilion to rest temporarily. I will come to inform you to attend the trade fair."
Shen Lian nodded and randomly selected a loft built on the cliff. He sensed it with his spiritual mind and found that there were many restrictions on the layout of the valley.
It's like he attaches the divine thought talisman to his body to sense external divine thoughts.
This method seems stupid, but the effect is very good.
Unless the divine mind is extremely powerful, all restrictions are carefully bypassed.
After sitting cross-legged in the attic, Shen Lian tried to express his spiritual thoughts, but he did not forget the purpose of his coming.
If he doesn't understand the situation of the red crystal fire ants, wouldn't his black horned ants be beaten every day?
Being beaten is a trivial matter, how can he collect ore particles.
But after spreading his spiritual thoughts thousands of feet, Shen Lian took his spiritual thoughts back. The restrictions were too dense. There were many restrictions placed on the cliffs, on the ground, and underground.
This Huo Gan Zhenren is so stubborn.
Apart from anything else, I don't know how long it will take just to arrange these restrictions.
However, this method of arranging bans is not suitable for Shen Lian at present. The ban on foreign languages is placed outside the cave where he is hiding, and it is clearly telling others that he is hiding nearby.
"Confining the fire spirit veins, hiding the prying eyes, raising red crystal fire ants to collect ore fragments, this is obviously a one-stop process."
The small city in front of him was so tightly guarded that it reminded Shen Lian of a similar familiar feeling from before.
Two days later, Gong Zhongze came to invite Shen Lian, and the two flew out towards the large attic in the middle of the city.
"Fellow Taoist, please."
Before entering the attic, Shen Lian originally wanted to use his spiritual thoughts to see the strength of Master Huo Gan, but he did not expect that the restrictions in the main attic were so dense.
Not only that, the door frames, window frames, and beams of the attic are all hung with small bells. As long as the ban moves, the bells will inevitably be touched.
What the hell are you...
Shen Lian's eyes were startled. There were actually people in the world who were more stubborn than him!
This is true.
"Dingling bells..."
When Shen Lian entered the attic, the bell in the room rang continuously.
Feeling the spiritual thoughts falling on him, Shen Lian used his spiritual thoughts to observe the people in the attic without any courtesy.
There were four people in total, three of whom were on the ninth level of foundation building, and one monk who had a deep aura and was filled with strong fire energy. His face was red, and he was undoubtedly Huo Gan Zhenren.
"I've met senior."
After falling into the attic, Shen Lian cupped his fists and saluted Master Huogan, and then raised his hands to the other monks in the attic.
"There's no need to be formal. I'm just like everyone else. No... I'm not as good as you."
When Master Huo Gan spoke, his words were like a spring breeze, without any of the prestige of a fake alchemy expert.
Just when his spiritual thoughts swept through, Shen Lian noticed that there were no formations arranged in the attic except for the restriction of sensing and snooping.
In the entire hall, there are stone tables and chairs arranged in two rows, with spiritual fruits and tea placed on them.
"I'm very happy that you all can come."
Master Huogan's words were gentle and his tone was full of kindness.
"It's really a blessing for us to be invited by the real person."
"I would like to thank the real person for your continued care in the future."
The monks in the hall opened their mouths and slapped them back one by one. No matter how much the fake elixir master said it, he still had the word "dan" in it, and he had to hold it in his hands.
"Haha, everyone, please prepare enough spiritual objects and spiritual stones. When the remaining fellow Taoists arrive, our bartering meeting will begin."
Master Huo Gan laughed and waved his hands very proudly.
Everyone also laughed. It can be said that the atmosphere of this bartering meeting was quite good.
"Ma'am, have you been refining a new magic weapon recently? Take it out to open our eyes."
Seeing the pleasant atmosphere, some monks also asked Master Huo Gan.
Huo Gan leaned on the large stone chair and waved his hand indifferently.
"It's been a long time since I've made a magic weapon. I was a second-level high-grade weapon refiner many years ago, and I still keep running in the same place. This time I mainly want to collect some ores to see if I can create a rough embryo of a magic weapon."
"The rough embryo of the magic weapon, congratulations to the real person for his further improvement in skills."
"If a real person can refine the crude embryo of a magic weapon, then there will be a real person in the main mining city of Yunshang."
"Then congratulations in advance to the real person for successfully refining it."
…
Amidst the compliments, Master Huogan smiled broadly.
"That also requires the full support of all fellow Taoists to take out the good ores and demon bones in your hands."
While everyone was communicating, Shen Lian also silently looked at the monk next to him. He tried to use his spiritual thoughts to get closer to Master Huo Gan.
There are finally no annoying restrictions in this area.
The increase in the intensity of spiritual thoughts is not only the distance but also the quality, especially since there is a villain of divine thoughts sitting in the sea of Shen Lian's divine thoughts.
Most of Huogan Zhenren has not reached the level.
When the spiritual thought was ten feet away, Master Huo Gan did not react.
Only when they were three feet away did Huo Gan react, but he just casually looked around without any suspicion.
This gave Shen Lian some idea, and he confirmed that no spiritual villain was born in the sea of spiritual thoughts of the real Huo Gan.
Preliminary estimates indicate that the strength of Master Huogan's spiritual thoughts is between one and a half to two Masters Qian Shi.
It seems that the quality of the demon elixir refined by this old boy is not low.
