Carefree Immortal: Inheriting the Legacy of Zhen Yuan Daxian from the Start

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was a little surprised.

There are not many spirit stone veins in the Red Wasteland, and most of them are controlled by the three major forces: Qingdan Sect, Moyun Sect, and Tieding Mountain.

Every time a spirit stone vein appears, it will basically lead to a bloody storm.

As early as a year ago, I had speculated that there was a possibility of a war between Qingdan Sect and Moyun Sect.

And, we have already thought of a countermeasure.

That is to return to the Qingdan Sect's mountain gate and show off his alchemy skills to protect himself.

The Moyun Sect has been mainly harassing them. It seems that they just want to get a share of the pie and add some trouble to the Qingdan Sect, and have no intention of starting a head-on war.

Liu Yuanchen continued to stay in Yujin Mountain, making alchemy to make money while taking care of the blessed land of Qingshi Mountain.

I thought that a war between the two sects would not break out, but now that the spirit stone veins have been discovered, the risk of a war has greatly increased.

"What's the level of the mineral vein? Is there any leakage?"

Zhang Jingcheng smiled bitterly: "If the news hadn't leaked out, how could I have been exhausted like this?

It was the rogue cultivators who discovered the mineral veins in the first place. By the time we got the news, those rogue cultivators had already dug up a lot of spiritual stones. "

"We don't have enough manpower to kill the casual cultivators. If we just disperse them, the news will inevitably leak out.

The evil cultivators of Moyun Sect are always harassing us, so they must have gotten the exact information. "

“As for the size of the ore vein, it is not yet certain.

Our disciples from the Guardian Hall tried digging and were able to dig out three to four hundred low-grade spiritual stones in one day. "

Liu Yuanchen was shocked: "How much? Three or four hundred yuan? Are you just trying to dig?"

The annual output of Lingshi mines is less than 10,000 Lingshi, even if it is a small vein.

The annual output of spiritual stones ranges from 10,000 to 100,000, which is considered a medium-sized mine.

The annual output of more than 100,000 spiritual stones is a large-scale mineral vein.

Three to four hundred pieces of low-grade spiritual stones can be dug out in a day, and hundreds of thousands of pieces can be dug out in a year, which is a really large vein.

This is not official mining yet, just trying to dig.

Once equipped with mining tools and recruiting a large number of casual cultivators, it is easy to double the output.

In the entire Red Wasteland, there are only a handful of large spirit stone veins.

Now a large mineral vein has emerged. Even in Wuyun Ridge, covered in black fog at night, it cannot stop the Qingdan Sect from mining.

Not only does Moyun Sect have ideas this time, but even Tieding Mountain in the north may also want a share of the pie.

A war may break out at any time, and if you don't escape in time, you may become cannon fodder.

"What measures do the senior leaders within the sect have to take?"

Zhang Jingcheng sighed softly: "What other countermeasures are there, which is to set up a large formation there and send disciples to take turns guarding it.

In addition, they also sent people to spread rumors and muddy the waters in Wuyun Ridge. "

Liu Yuanchen couldn't help laughing: "I said that the rumors in Qinghe Town have become more and more evil recently, about the discovery of ancient sect ruins in Beacon Mountain, and there are many inheritances of ancient monks in them.

In addition, the remains of the immortal’s ascension were discovered in Immortal Mountain, as well as the inheritance left by the immortal.

On the contrary, this is the first time I have heard about the Jinao Mountain Lingshi Mine.

The quarrel lasted for a long time, and it was the sect that released it. "

Zhang Jingcheng looked helpless: "These tricks can fool small forces without intelligence systems, but they are of no use to Moyun Sect.

In the past three days, we have fought against the evil cultivators of Moyun Sect more than ten times.

If there was no precise information, how could the evil cultivators of Moyun Sect cross thousands of miles of wasteland and run to Jin'ao Mountain to fight for their lives? "

“This war is probably unavoidable, and our Guard Hall disciples will definitely be the first wave of cannon fodder.

A low-level elixir master like you, Junior Brother Liu, is probably the second batch of cannon fodder.

It won't be long before we can fight side by side. "

Liu Yuanchen chuckled lightly: "Old cousin, you are overthinking this. I am not just a first-level mid-level elixir master now."

Zhang Jingcheng was a little confused: "Then what else can you be?"

Liu Yuanchen took out a few high-quality Qi-nourishing pills and said: "I am still a first-class high-quality alchemist.

As far as I know, in the many wars in the history of the sect, alchemists were rarely sent to the battlefield.

Even when the Moyun Sect launched a large-scale invasion three hundred years ago and surrounded the mountain gate, they only allowed first-level and low-level alchemists to fight.

Although the large spirit stone veins are important, they are not qualified to be compared with the siege of Shanmen. "

Zhang Jingcheng was stunned: "Alchemist? Still a first-level top grade?"

Liu Yuanchen smiled and said: "Of course, in a place like Yujin Mountain, if I don't learn some skills, how can I practice?"

Zhang Jingcheng remembered the purchase of elixirs before: "In the past year, there has been no peace in Wuyun Ridge, and the price of elixirs has doubled.

You, a first-level high-grade alchemist, should have made a lot of money long ago. How many spiritual stones did you pick from me just now? "

Liu Yuanchen made a sophistry: "The alchemist doesn't have many spiritual stones in his hands.

Regardless of how expensive elixirs are now, the cost is also high, and the elixirs on the market have also increased by 70 to 80%.

There are also expenses for running errands, elixirs needed for cultivation, spiritual stones for purchasing magic weapons, and various spiritual objects needed for body refining. These are all losses.

After excluding costs and losses, I really can't earn a few spiritual stones.

I lost money on the few pills I just sold you. "

"Okay, let's not talk about these things.

It's just past noon and we'll start back to the mountain gate early. "

Zhang Jingcheng was a little unhappy: "I also plan to take a bath and rest at your place."

Liu Yuanchen looked like he hated iron and said: "Why take a bath? Just go back with this kind of morality.

The superiors see you as pitiful, so in order to appease people's hearts, they might reward you with some spiritual stones.

It's a pity, I shouldn't have given you the pill just now.

Only by looking exhausted can you show your hard work and ask for more rewards.

Wait for me for a while, I will clean up the cave first, and then I will accompany you to the mountain gate. "

Zhang Jingcheng was puzzled: "Why are you going to the mountain gate?"

“The Chen family has people in the middle level of the sect, and they still have some influence on the higher-ups.

It is estimated that it won't be long before the sect's recruitment order comes down.

If I don’t reveal my identity as an alchemist and attract the attention of the higher-ups in the sect, my name will definitely be on the recruitment order.

At that time, even if you throw away your identity as an alchemist, you will still have to go to Jin'ao Mountain to refine alchemy. "

After leaving, I'm afraid I will never come to Yujin Mountain again.

Naturally, you have to take all your belongings with you.

After struggling for a while, Liu Yuanchen walked out of the cave.

He patted the storage bag on his waist, and an eagle-shaped boat over one foot long appeared in the open space in front of the cave gate.

After boarding the boat, he looked at Zhang Jingcheng who was in a daze at the side: "Why are you so stunned? Come on, get on the boat."

Zhang Jingcheng boarded the boat in a daze, and Liu Yuanchen injected spiritual power into the rudder. The boat slowly rose and flew rapidly towards the north.

After a long time, Zhang Jingcheng woke up from the shock: "Cousin, is this a flying magic weapon?"

Liu Yuanchen nodded: "Aren't you already sitting on the flying boat? You still need to ask?"

Zhang Jingcheng lay on the side of the boat, overlooking the mountains below.

"This is the first time that I have flown into the sky in my life."

After a long time, Zhang Jingcheng asked: "Cousin, your flying boat should be able to fly about three hundred miles in an hour.

Such a fast speed would probably cost 500 spiritual stones, right? "

Liu Yuanchen shook his head: "No, this eagle-feather flying boat is worth eight hundred spirit stones."

Zhang Jingcheng said angrily: "You just said you didn't have many spiritual stones in your hand, and you even took away the few spiritual stones I had left."

Liu Yuanchen looked helpless: "This flying boat is also within the range of damage. I went out to sell elixirs and was besieged by rogue cultivators several times.

I had no choice but to reluctantly buy this eagle-feather flying boat.

The errand fee I mentioned before is the spiritual stone consumed by the Eagle Feather Flying Boat. "

The two chatted all the way, and two hours later, the mountain gate was in sight.

There are two mountains ahead, one east and west, and a Hongqiao flies between the two peaks.

There is a plaque hanging on the south side of the covered bridge with the three characters "Qingdan Sect" written on it.

Under the covered bridge is a long stone road leading to the depths of the mountain gate.

Underneath the Hongqiao, there are two late-stage disciples of Qi Yang guarding the area.

The flying boat with eagle feathers landed slowly in front of the third gate, and the disciple guarding the gate shouted: "Everyone who comes has a name."

Liu Yuanchen and Zhang Jingcheng got off the flying boat and each took out their disciple tokens.

"Liu Yuanchen, a disciple of Shennong Hall, was ordered to guard the spiritual field of Yujin Mountain. He returned to the mountain gate today because of something."

"Zhang Jingcheng, a disciple of the Guard Hall, was ordered to guard Jin'ao Mountain for a month. He completed the task today and returned to the mountain gate."

The two disciples guarding the gate checked their disciple tokens and found no problems before letting them go.

Liu Yuanchen put away the carved feather flying boat and walked along the stone road towards the mountain gate.

It's not that you can't take a flying boat inside the mountain gate, it's just that there are several layers of formation protection at the edge of the mountain gate.

In front of these layers of formations, you can only walk on the ground and cannot fly.

If you break in forcefully, you will attract a formation attack.

The attack of the fourth level formation is no joke.

After walking for more than ten miles along the stone road, Liu Yuanchen released the flying boat. The two of them took the flying boat and flew all the way to the depths of the mountain gate.

Not long after, when the flying boat passed by a small hill, there was a disciple practicing magic on the mountain.

Liu Yuanchen specifically stayed on the top of the mountain for a moment: "Senior Brother Wu, long time no see. You are always nice."

The man looked at Liu Yuanchen carefully and then at Diao Feizhou: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Liu from Shennong Hall. Looking at his outfit, Junior Brother seems to have made a fortune."

Liu Yuanchen waved his hand: "I have been guarding the spiritual field at Yujin Mountain for these years, and I have been learning alchemy in my spare time.

Unexpectedly, his talent was quite good. He is now a first-level high-grade alchemist and has earned some spiritual stones. "

After chatting for a few words, the Diao Ling flying boat left the top of the mountain and continued towards the depths of the mountain gate.

Zhang Jingcheng was a little surprised: "Cousin, I remember that you have always been relatively reserved since you joined the sect. When did you become so arrogant?"

Liu Yuanchen chuckled lightly: "I have become a first-level high-grade alchemist. Who do you think is the most unhappy?"

Zhang Jingcheng said without thinking: "Of course Lingzhitang is in charge, he is from the Chen family, and neither the Chen family nor our family can deal with it.

In the past few years, I have been tormenting you, forcing you to go to Yujin Mountain to avoid disaster. "

Liu Yuanchen smiled and said: "That's right, I'm only nineteen years old now, and I'm already a first-level high-grade alchemist.

With the ability to earn spiritual stones, it is very likely that he will break through the Qi Sea realm in the future, and becoming a second-level alchemist is also a certainty.

By that time, I will definitely be able to become the manager of the elixir hall.

Among the various halls in the sect, the Danyao Hall has the highest status, and the Shennong Hall can only be ranked second.

Once I become the steward of the elixir hall, all the children of the Chen family in the sect will be under my status. "

“The Chen family’s ability to suppress our family for seven to eight hundred years was due to its power within the sect.

The children of the Chen family in the sect are suppressed by me. From now on, it will be our two families who bully the Chen family. "

"The Chen family naturally doesn't want to see this scene, and will definitely find a way to deal with me.

For example, they used the connections within the Alchemy Hall to suppress the fact that I became a first-level high-grade alchemist, so as to deceive others.

Just wait for the call-up order to come out and my name will be on it.

Even if I am an alchemist, I still have to go to Jin'ao Mountain. "

Zhang Jingcheng suddenly realized: "I understand, your publicity is also to spread the news first, so that everyone in the sect knows that you are a first-level high-grade alchemist.

Once word spread among the lower levels of the sect, the higher-ups soon learned about it.

Even if the Chen family wanted to cover up the news, they didn't have the ability. "

…

Liu Yuanchen sent Zhang Jingcheng to the guard hall. When he saw his fellow disciples on the way, he went up to chat for a few words.

Of course, I always mention casually that I am now a first-level high-grade alchemist.

After wandering around the mountain gate for nearly an hour, it wasn't until the sun set that we arrived at Qingdan Peak, where the elixir hall is located.

Qingdan Peak is a majestic mountain with its roots covering an area of ​​nearly a hundred miles.

On the top of the mountain is a gentle slope with a radius of more than ten miles. The main hall of the Pill Hall is at the center of this gentle slope.

Qingdan Peak was the place where the Qingdan Sect started. There are rock gaps inside the mountain that lead directly to the underground fire.

The founder of the Qingdan Sect used this gap to draw out the earth fire and opened up the earth fire chamber. This was how the Qingdan Sect established its foundation.

The eagle-feather flying boat landed a hundred feet away from the main hall of the Pill Medicine Hall. Liu Yuanchen put away the flying boat and walked step by step to the door of the main hall.

He bowed towards the door of the palace and saluted: "Liu Yuanchen, a disciple of Shennong Hall, is now a first-level high-grade alchemist. According to the sect's rules, he came to the Alchemy Hall to accept the assessment."

Within the Qingdan Sect, alchemists have a high status.

No matter which class of disciples you are, as long as you can become an alchemist, you can come to the Alchemy Hall to take the test.

If it passes, you can get a monthly subsidy in the future.

The higher the level of alchemy, the greater the subsidy.

A first-level high-grade alchemist, in addition to salary, can receive an additional monthly subsidy of twenty spiritual stones.

The senior officials in the sect attach great importance to this assessment. In the elixir hall, each steward takes turns to assess the disciples.

A cold voice sounded: "Come in."

Liu Yuanchen walked into the main hall respectfully and saw a middle-aged monk in simple clothes sitting on the main seat.

Seeing him come in, the middle-aged monk raised his head and glanced at him: "I am Zheng Qian, the manager of the elixir hall.

Liu Yuanchen, you haven't gone to Shennong Hall to participate in the assessment, but the name of the first-level high-grade alchemist has already spread throughout the sect.

I'm waiting for you here specifically to see what you're capable of. "

Although there was blame in Zheng Qian's words, Liu Yuanchen didn't care and was even secretly happy.

Zheng Qian had already heard about this, and the news must have reached the ears of senior officials.

Even if the Chen family wanted to cause trouble, it would be too late.

Liu Yuanchen immediately made a respectful look: "This disciple also made this move to protect himself.

Back then in Shennong Hall, the disciples were bullied by their enemies.

With no way to seek help, in order to protect himself, he had no choice but to stay away from the mountain gate and settle in a remote place in Yujin Mountain.

In the past few years, I have been studying alchemy very hard, and now that I have achieved some success, I dare not return to the sect.

Because I was worried that my enemies would interfere with it, I spread the news in advance. "
