Chapter Nineteen: Spirit Gold Mine
There are many wolf caves on the barren mountains, but the wolf caves in which several demon wolves live are easy to identify. They are too large to ordinary small wolf caves that cannot accommodate them at all.
Wang Cheng and Lin Yuanshan walked directly into the largest wolf cave at the entrance of the cave. The cave was nearly ten feet tall, so they could walk upright without worrying about hitting the wall.
The cave is very deep, very dark, and even more smelly.
Wang Cheng used the [Golden Light Shield] to protect himself from walking in front, and used the "evil-expressing technique" to control a "moonlight stone" to hang over his head to provide lighting. Lin Yuanshan and Liu Hongyan and his wife who were following closely behind.
The four of them walked fifty or sixty feet in the cave before they reached the end.
At the end of the cave is an underground cave hall, with a space that is large enough to stand up to six or seven hundred people. The ground is full of chewed bones, and some animal hair and minions.
The only clean place is where the five demon wolves usually rest and sleep. You can still see the wolf hair falling from the demon wolves in those places.
However, the traces of the spiritual objects that Wang Cheng had originally expected were nowhere to be seen.
Just as Wang Cheng was looking for spiritual objects that might have been ignored by him, he heard Lin Yuanshan say in surprise: "I think I probably know why the wild wolf here has such a high chance of becoming a demon!"
"What is the reason? What did Fellow Daoist discover?"
Liu Hongyan looked at Lin Yuanshan with shiny eyes and hurriedly asked Wang Cheng what she wanted to ask for.
"The reason is simple. There should be a spiritual gold vein under this barren mountain, so the five elements of gold energy in this cave is much stronger than outside. Those wild wolves live here for a long time, and the blood in their bodies is stimulated and nourished by the metal energy, so they will naturally evolve into demon wolves more easily than the wild wolves outside!"
Lin Yuanshan glanced at her and said in a calm tone that he found himself.
"Lingjin Mining Vein?"
Liu Hongyan's face was stunned, and her eyes suddenly showed disappointment.
It is not that the Lingjin veins are not good. In fact, a mineral vein is of great value. Even the micro vein with a low content can easily obtain spiritual gold worth tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones after complete mining.
But the reality is that mining the spiritual gold vein requires a lot of manpower and material resources. To smel the ore into spiritual gold, special formations and special smelting tools are also required to be arranged to achieve it.
These are not what Liu Hongyan and his wife can do, or even the Qingyun Sect now.
Wang Cheng also understood this truth. After hearing this, he shook his head with a pity and said, "If it is the Lingjin Mining Vein, it will be of little value to us. Now we don't have the ability to mine!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked outside: "Let's go, the corpses of the demon wolves outside have not been dealt with yet. Don't let the smell of blood attract other monsters to come and pick up the cheap."
When Liu Hongyan and his wife heard this, they hurriedly followed him, fearing that they would lose something if they were one step too late.
Therefore, they did not notice that Lin Yuanshan, who finally left, quietly picked up a piece of silver ore from a place where the demon wolf lived and put it into the storage bag.
When Wang Cheng was outside, when he distributed the spoils, he only gave Liu Hongyan and his wife a half-headed corpse of the demon wolf.
This distribution method made Liu Hongyan and his wife very dissatisfied, but Wang Cheng said that I killed all five demon wolves, which left them speechless.
This sentence is not Wang Cheng showing his merits, but reminding them to pay attention to the differences in strength between the two sides and not be as arrogant as before.
After the demon wolf corpses were all disposed of, Wang Cheng persuaded his senior brother Lin Yuanshan and himself to peel off the wolves' skins.
These wild wolf skins are useless to their cultivators, but for the mortal villagers in Qingyun Valley, they are good things to keep warm and make leather armor.
Taking these wild wolf skins back can not only be used as evidence to wipe out the wolves, but also win people's hearts, so that the mortal villagers know that following Qingyunmen is the right choice.
"There should be many wolf cubs in those wolf caves. Should I collapse the cave and bury it all?"
After Lin Yuanshan peeled the wolf's skin, he couldn't help but ask Wang Cheng.
In fact, when they were peeling and dealing with the corpse of the demon wolf, they all heard the cries of the young wolf from the wolf cave, but no one paid any attention.
Wang Cheng was also a little moved when he heard Lin Yuanshan's words.
But after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and said, "There were many wild wolves running away before. If we buried all the wolf cubs in the wolf cave alive, with the wolf's revenge, we will definitely take revenge on the mortals in the Qingyun Valley in the future. It would be better to leave these wolf cubs and let the wild wolves run around to find food to support the young wolf every day, and they are powerless to take revenge!"
When Lin Yuanshan heard this, he couldn't help but look at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect that his junior brother, who had never left the house, would have such an opinion.
Then nodded slightly and replied, "That's true. Then burn all these wolf corpses to shock those beasts!"
So, the two immediately piled up all the skinned wolf corpses and burned them into ashes with fire. Then they jointly commanded the flying magic weapon [Lingfeng Sword] and flew back to Qingyun Valley.
As for Liu Hongyan and his wife, they had already left with resentment after they had separated the corpse of the demon wolf.
Back at the mortal village in Qingyun Valley, Wang Cheng and his wife threw dozens of blood-stained wild wolf skins on the ground, took out a few more demon wolf skins and hung them on wooden poles for all the mortal villagers to see with their own eyes, which immediately caused cheers from the villagers.
The psychological shadow left by the wolves last night on the villagers quickly disappeared, and all order quickly returned to normal.
However, the wolf disaster last night also taught Wang Cheng a profound lesson, so he quickly adjusted the development plan of Qingyun Sect and decided to organize people to clear out monsters and ferocious beasts within twenty miles of Qingyun Valley, and arrange a cultivator to escort the villagers who work in the village every day.
Although Lin Yuanshan felt that he had made a big fuss about Wang Cheng's decision, he did not object too much.
After all, they all know that the mortal villagers of Qingyun Valley are the foundation for the development and growth of Qingyun Sect in the future.
The next generation of disciples of Qingyun Sect in the future will definitely emerge from the descendants of these mortal villagers.
So after Wang Cheng's plan adjustment, the second senior sister Guo Yunfeng, who also has the seventh level of Qi training, and the third senior brother Li Zitao, who has the sixth level of Qi training, were all transferred from Qingyun Peak to Qingyun Valley by him, and then transferred He Dahu's Taoist companion Mao Xiaolian and his son He Yunqing to Qingyun Peak to cultivate the spiritual fields.
Later, Guo Yunfeng stayed in Qingyun Valley and was responsible for the safety of mortal villages, He Dahu was responsible for protecting the safety of mortals who worked outside the villages. Wang Cheng, Lin Yuanshan and Li Zitao went out together to clean up nearby monsters and wild beasts.
There are no second-level monsters around Qingyun Peak. With Wang Cheng's exquisite equipment and two senior brothers Lin Yuanshan and Li Zitao assisted, even the flying monsters they deal with cannot get a bargain from them.
For half a month, they carpet-style cleaning of the twenty-mile area around Qingyun Valley twice, killing eight first-level monsters and hundreds of various ferocious beasts. At the same time, they also collected and found dozens of wild elixirs.
Because there were too many monsters killed, Wang Cheng even took out some monster meat and gave it to the mortal villagers for food. The mortal villagers also took them back to make jerky meat as reserved food.
After such a large-scale clearance, many nearby monsters and large carnivorous beasts came out to hunt and deliberately avoided the area near Qingyun Valley and recognized the human dominance over this area.
The mortal villagers in Qingyun Valley can finally go out to work normally, and no longer have to arrange cultivators to escort and protect them.
After half a month of hard reclaiming, the spiritual fields on Qingyun Peak have finally been reclaimed two acres of land and three medicinal fields have been opened up.
After Wang Cheng completed his plan to eliminate monsters and returned to Qingyun Peak, he immediately took out a part of the first-level medium-grade spiritual plant [Jade Tooth Corn] seeds left by his master Qingyunzi and the first-level high-grade spiritual plant [Golden Core Grass] seeds, and gave them part of them to the fourth senior brother Lu Feng, and asked him to plant these two spiritual plants in the two acres of spiritual fields.
Under Qing Yunzi's deliberate arrangement, Lu Feng entered the Lingtian Si of Qingxia Sect as early as ten years ago to be a spiritual farmer and learn spiritual planting skills.
[Jade Tooth Corn] and [Jinxincao] are the two most commonly taken care of when he was a spiritual farmer in Qingxia Sect, and he was not afraid of not being able to survive.
[Jade Teeth Rice] is a kind of spiritual rice containing spiritual energy. If cultivators eat it every day during the Qi training period, they can not only increase their cultivation, but also strengthen their bodies. This object is also the main material for refining [Fasting Pill], which can almost act as a hard currency in the cultivation world like spirit stones.
[Golden Heart Grass] is a kind of spiritual grass that can be used to make talisman paper. The blank talisman paper made with [Golden Heart Grass] is not only higher than the talisman paper made with animal skins, but more importantly, it is compatible with the five elements spells.
These two types of spiritual plants, [Jade Tooth Corn], are ripe every year, and [Golden Heart Grass] takes three years to mature.
If planted now, the [Jade Tooth Corn] will be ripe and harvested next year, and the [Golden Heart Grass] can also be harvested and made talisman paper in three years.
As for the three medicine fields, Wang Cheng didn't know what to plant first. He asked the fourth senior brother Lu Feng: "It's easy to say about [Jade Tooth Corn] and [Jinxincao]. What kind of spiritual medicine should be planted on the medicine fields? What suggestions do Senior Brother Lu have?"
"If the junior brother of the sect doesn't know what kind of spiritual medicine to plant first, then you can plant ginseng and Polygonatum, which has the longer the medicine, the stronger the medicine, the more effective it is. Many medicines in Qingxia Sect are planted in many medicinal fields, including the [Thousand-year Spiritual Ginseng] and [Thousand-year Polygonatum] that can be included in the category of third-level spiritual medicines!"
Lu Feng thought about it and whispered his opinion.
Ginseng and Polygonatum under thirty years are just ordinary herbs, even monks in the early stages of Qi training do not bother to pick them.
However, after thirty years of these two herbal medicines, they can barely be included in the first-class low-grade spiritual medicines. The higher the years in the future, the more precious it will be.
Therefore, Wang Cheng easily understood what Lu Feng said.
Planting genus such as ginseng and Polygonatum may not be good in a short period of time, but it will never be a bad choice in the long run. Moreover, these two genus are simple to plant and have strong adaptability, so you don’t have to worry about not taking good care of them.
After he figured out this, he nodded and said, "Then let it be. In the future, I will ask Senior Brother Lu to be responsible for the matters of spiritual plant planting and care."
