Chapter 24 Xuanshui Iron Ore Vein (Please read on)

Because of the previous sneak attack by the Moyun venomous snake, Ling Pengyun was afraid that there was another demon python hidden in the nest, so he carefully mobilized his spiritual sense and probed into it. He found that there was no breath in it, so he followed the nest and went deep into it.

As for the body of the blue-scaled water python, it was too huge, three feet long and as thick as a millstone. His storage bag was not that big, so he planned to plunder the demon python's nest, return, and then carry the body away.

It was strange to say that although the entrance to the blue-scaled water python's nest was at the bottom of the dark river, it extended to the cliff beside the dark river and then went up.

After moving forward for about ten feet, there was no water flow. After moving forward for dozens of feet, Ling Pengyun followed the passage and really came to the demon python's nest.

Ling Pengyun summoned a fireball to illuminate.

The nest of the demon python should be opened by itself. It is a circular structure with a space of only about ten feet. Although the ground is bumpy, there are not many gravels.

As soon as Ling Pengyun entered the nest, he looked in the direction of the spiritual energy he had noticed before.

However, he saw that there was a ten-foot-long passage in the nest.

Because of the close distance, Ling Pengyun also noticed that the spiritual energy coming out of the passage inside the nest was extremely pure water spiritual energy, without any other five elements spiritual energy.

"Water-based spiritual objects?" Ling Pengyun said happily.

Ling Pengyun's main cultivation method is the "Green Water Art" of water attribute. For him, water-based spiritual objects are much better than the other four five-element spiritual objects.

He couldn't wait to go straight into the passage that was about ten feet wide.

As he went deeper into the passage, he hadn't reached the end.

However, the water spiritual energy contained in the surrounding area became more and more pure and rich, which made Ling Pengyun more and more looking forward to what spiritual objects were behind this passage.

After advancing for more than ten feet, the passage finally came to an end.

There were no spiritual plants here, only broken blue iron blocks all over the ground.

Ling Pengyun saw that the spiritual energy that attracted him here was coming from these blue iron blocks, and he had some impression of these iron blocks in his mind, so his brows furrowed immediately.

He picked up a blue iron block, looked at it carefully, and used the black iron flying sword to bombard it, but there was a sharp sound of "clang" metal collision.

On the blue iron block, the position attacked by the flying sword was only slightly concave.

This hardness also confirmed his guess in his heart.

It is not an ordinary thing that can withstand the attack of a first-level medium-grade black iron sword.

After thinking for a few breaths, he exclaimed.

"Xuanshui iron ore!"

He turned his eyes and summoned a ball of fire, and then he realized that the end of the passage was full of Xuanshui iron ore.

"Xuanshui iron ore vein!" Ling Pengyun exclaimed again.

The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously and he laughed.

Xuanshui iron ore is a first-grade medium-quality spiritual ore. Even the worst quality Xuanshui iron ore can be refined into first-grade medium-quality Xuanshui iron, which can be used to refine first-grade medium-quality magic tools.

And the better quality Xuanshui iron ore deep in the ore vein can be refined as a material for refining first-grade high-quality water-based magic tools.

Maybe there is also a spiritual iron Xuanshui iron mother that can be used as the main material for second-grade magic tools.

Even if it is only the worst first-grade medium-quality Xuanshui iron ore, it can be refined into Xuanshui iron, and one catty can be sold at an expensive price of five spiritual stones.

If it is refined into a magic tool, the price will be even higher.

Having a vein means having spiritual stones. With more spiritual stones, Ling Pengyun will no longer worry about the high price of spiritual peaches that are more effective than Huangya Dan!

"I just don't know how big the range of this vein is?" Ling Pengyun said with surprise, his eyes flashing.

The veins in the world of immortal cultivation are generally divided into five grades, from small to large, namely residual veins, micro, small, medium, and large.

Residual veins cannot be guaranteed. It is possible that the veins only extend for one zhang or even one inch. As long as the veins are within a hundred zhang, they can be called residual veins.

Small, medium, and large veins have standards, and they can only be called so when they reach a certain number.

However, for Ling Pengyun personally, even if this Xuanshui iron vein is a broken vein and the vein only extends for one zhang, he is still happy.

This means that he can earn at least 100 spiritual stones from it.

Of course, he also hopes that the vein is as big as possible.

To reveal the answer, you only need to explore with your divine sense.

Ling Pengyun spread to the surrounding area, but found that within the 65 zhang that his divine sense could detect, it was all Xuanshui ore, without a single ordinary stone. This also shows that the scale of this Xuanshui vein is not small, and the mineral deposits contained are extremely rich.

"This scale is at least a good micro-vein. It is possible that the scale of this vein is more than 100 feet, reaching the scale of a small vein!" Ling Pengyun said in surprise.

But Ling Pengyun was delighted for three breaths, and his smile faded, and he began to murmur.

"There are so many mineral deposits. Should I embezzle them? Or report them to the family?"

Everyone has selfishness, and Ling Pengyun is not a saint.

"I can make a fortune by embezzling them. At least I can earn thousands of spiritual stones from it. But it will take me several years to mine the Xuanshui iron ore within the surrounding 65 feet. If I want to refine the raw ore into Xuanshui iron, it will take even longer. Without ten years of full-time mining, this plan to make a fortune will not be completed!"

"But this ten-year plan to make a fortune means that my cultivation will not improve at all in the past ten years!"

"I have no confidence that I can break through to the perfection of Qi training before the age of sixty. If I delay for another ten years, even if I have thousands of spiritual stones to buy resources to help, I am afraid that I will not have much hope of reaching the perfection of Qi training before the age of sixty!"

"And if I report to the family, although I don't have to participate in mining, I can only get 10% of the benefits of this vein!"

"According to the richness of this vein that I have explored to the limit of my spiritual consciousness, this vein is very likely to extend for a hundred feet!"

"A hundred feet long Xuanshui iron vein is probably worth tens of thousands. It is abandoned like this..."

The cultivation world has gone through countless predecessors and countless years of exploration. It has long been found that the probability of a cultivator breaking through the foundation before the age of sixty is the highest. After the age of sixty, the blood and qi are depleted. Unless spiritual objects are used to replenish the blood and qi, the probability of breaking through the foundation will be extremely low.

And if the discovery of the vein is reported to the family, it will be mined by the family. The discoverer can only get 10% of the profit of the vein. This is the family rule of the Ling family, which has long been stipulated.

In front of these two problems, Ling Pengyun hesitated for nearly a hundred breaths before deciding to report the mine to the family. Although this would bring less benefits, he could obtain a considerable amount of resources without any effort.

At the same time, this achievement could also pave the way for him to become a senior member of the family in the future.

After thinking about this, Ling Pengyun did not plan to stay any longer. He collected the hundreds of kilograms of Xuanshui ore scattered on the ground, intending to entrust the refiner to refine magic tools in the future.

Then, he followed the passage he came from, left this place, returned to the demon python's nest, and then followed the entrance and exit passage of the nest to the dark river.

In a dark river, Ling Pengyun looked at the huge blue-scaled water python's corpse at the entrance and exit of the nest, his expression slightly moved, and he guessed secretly.

"This blue-scaled water python, I think, has broken through to this level because of the rich water spirit contained in the Xuanshui iron ore vein. If it is given a few years or even a dozen years, it may be able to use the spirit of the ore vein to cultivate to the late stage of Qi training!"

"It is sad for this demon python to meet me, but it is a blessing for me to meet it!"

"But I have to say that this demon python's luck is still good. It can find a ore vein in such a place. It is really a great opportunity!"

Ling Pengyun smiled and swam out along the water flow of the dark river with the corpse of the demon python.

When entering the dark river, it is upstream, and when returning, it is downstream, and the speed is much faster.

In just one incense stick, Ling Pengyun left the Qingshi Lake and returned to Qingshi Village.

He placed the corpse of the demon python in front of the villagers, comforted the villagers that the Qingshi Lake demon python had been removed, and told them not to worry. He left five pounds of demon python flesh and blood as a reward for Ling Dong's act of luring the demon python. Ling Pengyun told Ling Dong that he would be away for a while, and asked him to lead the Lingxiao Guards to strengthen patrols around Qingshi Village in the near future. Then he returned to Qingshi Mountain.

Once he entered Qingshi Mountain, he placed the corpse of the demon python in a cave halfway up the mountain, summoned a large ball of ice, and froze the corpse of the demon python to prevent the flesh and blood of the demon python from rotting during his absence.

Then, he went to the top of the mountain, cast the cloud and rain technique to water the six acres of spiritual field, used the spiritual stone to open the mountain protection formation of Qingshi Mountain, and then cast a light body technique and rushed towards Lingxiao Mountain, the Ling clan mountain, to inform the clan of the mineral vein news.

He used the Thousand Miles Communication Talisman in his hand to inform his family that he was a little worried that the communication talisman would be intercepted by the monks, thus letting the mineral veins out.
