Chapter 251 Discovery of the Mineral Source, Escape, 7th Prince
Chapter 251 Discovery of the Mineral Source, Escape from Danger, Seventh Prince
In the Butterfly Valley, thirty miles away from Qiu Ri Mountain.
As Fu Yongyi closed and opened his eyes, a strange light flashed out from his eyes and fell into the valley. After a while, Fu Yongyi closed his eyes and the strange color in his eyes disappeared.
but.
At this moment, he was vaguely excited:
"This Butterfly Valley is really weird."
He hesitated.
One shot storage bag.
A flash of glow.
Instantly, the treasure-hunting instrument appeared in his hand.
This treasure was obtained by the southern barbarians from the Bloody Forbidden Land and eventually ended up on the black market. Liang Zhitang spent a large sum of money to purchase it in order to obtain more treasures in the Canglan Secret Realm, but in the end it fell into the hands of Fu Changsheng.
After Fu Yongyi discovered the spiritual stone vein.
Fu Changsheng gave it to Fu Yongyi as a reward.
Fu Yongyi practices his martial arts.
A spell was cast into the treasure-hunting instrument, and with a humming sound, a ray of light suddenly lit up, sweeping across the Butterfly Valley one by one.
Indifferent.
The treasure-hunting instrument trembled slightly.
It actually trembled again.
Then another light came on:
"This is."
Two rays of light.
That means there is a second-level mineral vein hidden in this valley.
Fu Yongyi suddenly became excited and was thinking about going down to investigate, but when he looked up and saw that it was already dark, he quickly put away the spell. It was too dangerous for him to go treasure hunting alone in this unfamiliar place.
Perform the Immortal Steps.
A few flashes.
Disappeared in Butterfly Valley.
After a while.
He then turned back to the abandoned cave in Qiu Ri Mountain.
Yun Bozi was slightly relieved to see him return safely, but he still couldn't help but scolded him: "You kid, you said you would hang around nearby, but you disappeared after you went out. If..."
Said halfway.
Yun Bozi saw that Fu Yongyi looked excited.
Blinked:
"Yongyi, have you found a treasure?"
The Fu family has a powerful psychic examiner.
He had heard about it a long time ago, and Fu Yongyi would instinctively survey every new place he arrived at. That was why he did not stop him from going out.
Is it really such a coincidence?
Yun Bozi looked at Fu Yongyi steadily:
"You kid, hurry up and speak. When it comes to the crucial moment, you are using sign language."
Fu Yongyi remained unmoved.
Instead, he looked at Liu Meizhen with an inquiring look.
Obviously.
Fu Yongyi didn't trust Yun Bozi very much. After Liu Meizhen nodded, he spoke:
"Mother, I used a treasure-hunting device to detect a second-level mineral vein in a butterfly valley thirty miles away from Qiu Ri Mountain. However, I haven't had time to take a closer look at the specific mineral source and the amount of reserves. I thought I'd come back and report first."
Did they really find a mineral vein?!
Yun Bozi's face lit up with joy and he said with a smile:
"Yongyi, you are really a lucky star."
But what do you think?
Yun Bozi shook his head immediately:
"If I remember correctly, Butterfly Valley is the border between the Eighth-Rank Jin Family and the Tang Family in Jingzhou. Even if we discover it, once we mine it, these two families will definitely notice it. It's not our own fiefdom, so in the end we can only be making wedding clothes for others."
Liu Meizhen smiled faintly:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, if we confirm that there is such a spiritual vein in Butterfly Valley, then we will have a powerful trump card for this trip. I remember you mentioned that your Yu family is now under the rule of the eighth-rank Tang family, right?"
The Yu family is of the ninth rank.
But it must also be under the jurisdiction of the upper-class family.
If they could use this mineral vein as a bargaining chip to get the Tang family to issue a conscription order to the Yu family, summoning them away from their clan land to build their foundation, then they wouldn't have to declare war on the Yu family at all. They could directly move all the people from the third branch here without moving a single soldier.
The Yu family is brave again.
They can't break the big tree of Tang family.
Yun Bozi was also a smart man. He thought of it immediately and laughed, patting Fu Yongyi on the shoulder: "Yongyi, you are really a lucky star. Let's go, let's go to Butterfly Valley now while it's dark."
If it is a rare mineral vein.
Perhaps there is more to gain from this negotiation.
Yun Bozi was very excited.
She was about to take Fu Yongyi out in a hurry, but Liu Meizhen signaled him to wait. She turned around and walked to the door of the stone chamber that Grandmaster Yu had separated, knocked on the stone door and said:
"Uncle Yu, I'm sorry to bother you to come out for a moment."
Once it is confirmed that there are mineral resources in Butterfly Valley.
Of course, it is to set up a magic circle.
Just hold on first.
The four people came out of Autumn Mountain and used invisibility skills one after another until they arrived at Butterfly Valley.
Yun Bozi first walked around the valley.
Frowning slightly:
"Yongyi, you must be mistaken. There is not even a trace of spiritual energy in this valley. I used my spiritual sense to explore the ground, but I didn't find any mineral sources."
I'm afraid it's all just a false alarm.
Liu Meizhen did not question it at all and nodded to Fu Yongyi:
"Yongyi, let's start"
"Yes, mother"
Fu Yongyi was questioned about his ability by Yun Bozi, and he was determined to prove something. Other things would be fine, but he would be extremely unhappy if someone questioned his spirit-detecting skills.
He immediately muttered something.
Close your eyes.
Then he combined his index finger and middle finger and passed them across his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, a strange color suddenly appeared in his eyes.
I saw the light flickering slightly.
Fu Yongyi followed.
A right hand flip.
A treasure-hunting instrument appeared in his hand.
A combination of both.
After a while.
Fu Yongyi slapped a talisman on himself and escaped hundreds of feet underground. At this time, his magic power was obviously insufficient, after all, the treasure-hunting instrument was a third-level spiritual weapon.
Seeing this, Liu Meizhen hurriedly said:
"Yongyi, don't worry, restore your magic power first."
Fu Yongyi originally wanted to make a concerted effort, but now his magic power was exhausted. After all, it was difficult for him to activate the spiritual weapon with his level of cultivation.
He nodded slightly immediately.
Several months passed like this.
The group still found nothing. Yun Bozi had given up hope. While Fu Yongyi was investigating, he whispered to Liu Meizhen:
"Madam, including the journey we took to get here, two years have passed. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid the Cui family will take the last eighth-grade family spot."
"While we still have time, let's find another way. If that doesn't work, we can just storm directly."
Even Fu Yongyi himself is no longer confident.
Liu Meizhen was unmoved.
He said calmly:
"There is not a single ninth-rank family in the Cui family's fiefdom. It is not easy for them to take away the quota. Let's wait a little longer. I believe in Yongyi."
Yun Bozi also tried to persuade her.
Seeing that Liu Meizhen didn't listen to him, he could only stand by and worry.
However, Grandmaster Yu took advantage of this time to practice a Three Talents Maze Formation.
Another half month passed.
Deep underground.
Fu Yongyi was holding his breath the whole time.
The absolute trust that Liu Meizhen gave him slowly adjusted his originally wavering mentality.
When looking for mineral sources again.
A little less impatient.
Because his cultivation was too low, he could only activate the treasure-hunting instrument twice a day at most, which made the entire survey process seem extremely slow.
"Whoo~"
Fu Yongyi took a deep breath.
As usual, he activated the treasure hunting instrument.
Suddenly.
hum!
But the treasure-hunting instrument trembled slightly.
This shows that there is indeed a mineral source nearby.
Fu Yongyi's eyes lit up with joy.
It took more than half a year.
Finally, hard work pays off.
He did not take credit for it right away, as it was too early to say anything before he saw the real thing.
I saw his spell changed again.
As the dull spell sounded, the treasure-hunting instrument began to vibrate more obviously.
Followed by.
boom!
But then a ray of light rose from the treasure-hunting instrument.
According to usual experience.
The symbol condensed from a ray of light represents a first-level mineral source.
Fu Yongyi stared at the treasure-hunting instrument nervously.
If it is just a first-level mineral source.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to impress the 8th-rank Tang family.
hum!
The treasure-hunting instrument trembled again.
The second ray of precious light rose slowly, and merged with the previous one in mid-air. After a slight tremor, it transformed into a two-color symbol:
"It's a second-level mineral source!!"
A look of surprise appeared on Fu Yongyi's pale face.
This way.
Then their goal of this trip was half accomplished:
"I finally lived up to my mother's expectations."
The two-color symbol floats forward.
Finally, it landed a hundred feet in front of his left side.
Fu Yongyi retracted his magic spell and closed his eyes. The strange look in his eyes disappeared, but his eyes were now bloodshot, but they were flashing with excitement.
Right hand pinch.
A stream of spiritual power transformed into a sword blade and chopped down the stone in front.
After the incomplete stone is cut.
at this time.
A layer of hazy light appears on the surface of the cut stone.
The halo seemed to have two colors that were constantly flowing, just like the yin and yang in the Tai Chi diagram. The black and white lights intertwined and entangled with each other, but with clear boundaries:
"This is."
Fu Yongyi took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
But this spiritual material.
He also saw it for the first time:
"Grandpa Yu and the others should know."
Fu Yongyi took out the jade talisman and sent a message to Liu Meizhen and the other two who were in the cave in Qiuri Mountain.
Yun Bozi was stunned when he received the message.
It took half a year.
I thought it was hopeless.
I never expected that Fu Yongyi really found the mineral vein.
The three of them moved quickly and soon met up with Fu Yongyi in Butterfly Valley and arrived underground where the mineral source was discovered.
Yun Bozi stepped forward quickly.
A wave of sleeves.
The hazy halo dissipated.
Strange crystals embedded in the stone walls come into view:
"What mineral source is this?"
Yun Bozi didn't recognize him.
Liu Meizhen turned to look at Master Yu, but Master Yu raised his eyebrows and said:
"This is the Yin-Yang Stone. The Yin-Yang power it contains can be used to refine a second-tier magic weapon, and can also be used as the core material of the array eye, using its Yin-Yang power to drive the operation of the entire array. Although it is only a second-tier mid-grade stone, it is quite rare and can be sold at a higher price in the market than the common second-tier top-grade mineral sources."
Yun Bozi heard this.
His face suddenly broke into a smile.
This way.
Then we have the bargaining chip to negotiate with the Tang family.
After turning around and praising Fu Yongyi, he quickly asked:
"Yongyi, based on what you just surveyed, is this Liangyi Xuanshi mine large or medium-sized?"
Fu Yongyi shook his head. He had just surveyed the exact location of the mineral vein.
As for how much is contained, it will take some time to check.
Liu Meizhen nodded and said:
"No hurry. Before that, I have to trouble Uncle Yu to set up a magic array in Butterfly Valley to cover it up."
"Um"
Master Yu came prepared.
After the four of them came out from underground again.
Yun Bozi and Liu Meizhen assisted at the side, and at dawn, a Three Talents Maze Formation was set up in the master's main formation. At this time, the whole valley was shrouded in a white light curtain.
Accompanied by Master Yu's spell, it hit the central array disk.
The light curtain trembled slightly.
It disappeared in an instant.
No one knows.
A set of magic array was set up in this Butterfly Valley which has no spiritual energy at all.
After Liu Meizhen rested for a while, she said:
"Uncle Yu, the three of you stay in Butterfly Valley. I'm going to Yunlong Market to get some information."
"Um"
The three of them nodded quickly.
Master Yu wanted to guard the formation, and Fu Yongyi wanted to survey the mineral reserves. Yun Bozi wanted to go with them, but he was afraid that the Yu family might find out by mistake and cause unnecessary trouble.
and so.
Liu Meizhen was the only one who went to Yunlong Market.
Fu Yongyi is somewhat worried:
"Mom, be careful on your journey"
Yunlongfang City is thousands of miles away from Butterfly Valley.
Liu Meizhen rode the two-headed, green-eyed giant python and arrived at the entrance of the market before dark. Unlike Jingzhou, there were many foundation-building cultivators coming in and out of the Yunlong market, and from time to time, one could see Purple Mansion cultivators riding the wind.
This can be seen from this point.
Jingzhou is richer than Jingzhou.
entrance.
Those guarding the city gates are all cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Liu Meizhen was standing at the end of a long line. When it was her turn, the guard glanced at her fate disc and muttered:
"Another one from Huainan."
The voice is low.
However, Liu Meizhen heard it clearly.
His brows furrowed slightly.
But I don't know who the guard is talking about.
Go through the gate of enchantment.
A strong aura of spiritual energy hits me in the face.
Liu Meizhen sensed it.
The spiritual energy here is much stronger than the third-grade lower-grade spiritual vein in their Yunshan County fiefdom:
"This Jingzhou is really generous."
Take a closer look.
However, the market was crowded with people, and the practitioners dressed in colorful robes were moving between the dazzling stalls.
There are people selling flying swords.
There are people selling pills.
There is also a talisman stall with various talismans trembling in the wind. There are fire-control talismans, lightning-avoiding talismans, etc. The stall owner holds a talisman-drawing pen and draws them on the spot, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
The Spirit Pet Pavilion in the distance.
From time to time, the neighing and roaring of spirit pets could be heard. The spirit deer emitting an auspicious aura and the spirit fox with lively eyes were all locked in specially made spirit cages, waiting for their destined people.
The whole market town was filled with spiritual energy and was bustling with activity.
The passenger flow is much greater than that of Wanning Market.
Liu Meizhen chose a teahouse called Yuyixuan, sat by the window, and ordered a pot of Fangping tea.
The five senses are fully open.
There was a faint sound of conversation coming from the teahouse next door:
"Brother Qiu, I heard that an ancient monument appeared at the border of the Far West. It is said that the imperial court has gathered people to compete with the sects in the Far West for the control of this ancient monument. Is this news true or false?"
"Brother Liao, this is so true. When the ancient relics came out, it caused quite a stir. I went to Baishitong to get the news and heard that."
The subsequent words have been transformed into voice transmission.
After a while.
The excited voice came again:
"Brother Qiu, if that's the case, then we have to get ready as soon as possible."
"Of course not. After all, the information provided by Baishitong was bought with real money. The information provided by Baishitong has never been wrong."
"If we can enter this ancient site and get the opportunity, the spirit stones you and I have accumulated will be enough to rent a shop from the Tang family. The shops in Yunlong Market are making a lot of money every day. With it, my two brothers will have a foundation for their livelihood."
"."
Liu Meizhen, who was sitting next door, raised her hand and placed three spirit stones on the tea table, then stood up and walked down the teahouse to identify the direction.
Walk toward West Street.
At the end.
But what came into view was a shop built with skeletons, and the whole shop exuded a gloomy and bloody atmosphere.
The plaque hanging above the shop reads:
"Know-it-all"
The door was closed tightly.
Liu Meizhen glanced at the groove of the gate.
A wave of sleeves.
Ten spirit stones fell into it.
hum!
The door is open.
Liu Meizhen stepped inside.
Inside, there were heads of various monsters hanging upside down, which looked like they had just died. There was a gust of cold wind in the center of the house.
A blood-red mirror stood there.
There was a line of words written crookedly on the mirror, and different rewards would be charged depending on the information, not just spirit stones.
hum!
A gust of wind blew.
The words in the mirror disappeared in an instant, and gray fog filled the air. Then a strange skull appeared, with ghost lights lingering in its nine eye holes. A voice that sounded like a human but not a human, and like a ghost but not a ghost came out of it:
"Hehe, tell me what you want to know."
After coming out of Bestone.
Liu Meizhen stayed in the market for a few more days and verified that the information was correct.
Only then did they leave Yunlongfang City.
Coming out of the market.
Vaguely.
She sensed something was wrong:
"Being targeted?"
Suddenly.
She remembered the guard's inadvertent mention of "another person from Huainan" when she entered the market. Could it be that
Between the electric light and flint.
Liu Meizhen suddenly guessed a possibility.
But what she didn't expect was that she had taken a disguise pill, so ordinary people shouldn't be able to recognize her at all.
He hesitated.
Liu Meizhen did not summon the two-headed green-eyed giant python, but chose to fly on a flying tool, and not towards the Butterfly Valley.
After coming out of Yunlong Market.
Then he flew towards Hongmeng Mountain, which was towering into the clouds and where the Jingzhou Zhenshi Division was located.
Wait until she enters the mountain.
The aura that had been following her apparently stopped outside the mountain gate.
In the pine forest at the foot of the mountain.
A white light appeared, and then the figure of Patriarch Gongsun flashed out, with a flash of hesitation in his eyes:
"Did I see it wrong?"
But the aura of the woman just now was extremely similar to Liu Meizhen.
Patriarch Gongsun waited there for nearly half a month.
I didn't see the woman coming down the mountain, and I was relieved:
“Luckily I didn’t do anything before”
Obviously.
That woman is from Zhenshisi.
Otherwise, how could he have stayed in Zhenshisi for such a long time.
Patriarch Gongsun turned and left.
He has not found a suitable buyer for the monster materials he brought, and the auction at Yunlong Market will be held soon.
In Hongmeng Mountain.
Liu Meizhen waited in the side hall of the Zhenshi Division for about a month before she stood up and said to the guards:
"Since the Palace Master is unable to spare time, I will come back another day."
talking.
Liu Meizhen went down the mountain.
After she left, the green-robed guard on the left came up to the red-robed guard and muttered:
"Brother Sun, this woman wanted to find the Palace Master right away. I think she did it on purpose. Even if she is the mistress of a ninth-rank family, how can she meet the Palace Master whenever she wants?"
The headquarters of the Zhenshi Division is located in the imperial capital.
Each state has established a Wanhu Suo, which is guarded by a Jindan Zhenren. The Zhenshi Division established by the prefecture under the jurisdiction of the state is called a Qianhu Suo, which is usually guarded by a Zifu.
The Zhenshi Division on Hongmeng Mountain is at the level of Wanhu Suo. Not to mention the mistress of a ninth-rank family, even the head of a seventh-rank family who wants to meet the Palace Master has to wait in line:
"Brother Sun, in my opinion, this Liu must have met some enemy, so he came to our Zhenshi Division to take shelter."
Guard Sun is at the middle stage of foundation building.
Such a simple truth.
How could he not know?
See through, don’t say through.
Moreover, the duties of their Zhenshi Division originally included protecting the aristocratic families.
Butterfly Valley.
Yun Bozi walked back and forth in the mountains, his face full of worry:
"Master Yu, the mistress has been out for a month and hasn't returned yet. I think it would be better for me to go there myself."
Fu Yongyi has completed the survey of underground mineral resources.
Originally meditating to restore mana.
At this moment he stood up and said:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, my mother said that you cannot show up. If you really need to go to Yunlong Market, then I will go there."
"No, no, with your cultivation level, if something really happens, you can't help. As long as I take the Disguise Pill, the people of the Yu family won't be able to recognize me."
"."
When the two were arguing.
Grandmaster Yu, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He said calmly:
"Meizhen is back"
After about half a cup of tea, Liu Meizhen's figure was seen outside the Butterfly Valley.
Yun Bozi saw Liu Meizhen return safely.
There was a hint of joy in his eyes.
But then he subconsciously glanced at Master Yu behind him. With Liu Meizhen's flying speed, even if the flying speed was not fast, it would still be a considerable distance in half a cup of tea.
But Master Yu immediately noticed Liu Meizhen's figure.
this means.
Grandmaster Yu's cultivation is far more than just foundation building:
"The Fu family is truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
While Yun Bozi was shocked, he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. Following the Fu family might be the greatest opportunity he would ever encounter in his life.
The moment Liu Meizhen came in.
Immediately said:
"Uncle Yu, quickly close the formation. And by the way, help check if there are any suspicious people following us."
Grandmaster Yu cast a spell on the central array plate.
A buzzing sound.
The light curtain of the formation is closed:
"Don't worry, no one is following us."
So good.
Liu Meizhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Yun Bozi hurriedly asked, "Madam, what happened?"
Liu Meizhen did not hide it: "Someone from Huainan has also arrived in Jingzhou."
He immediately told him how he was being tracked and how he ended up hiding in the Hongmeng Mountain Zhenshi Division for a month.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yongyi frowned and said:
"Madam, if they are really from Huainan and are so hostile to our Fu family, they are most likely from the Gongsun family."
Among the other aristocratic families.
They have some old grudges with the Liang family.
but.
After the Liang family changed its head, they took the initiative to seek peace. When the beast tide broke out, the Liang family also suffered heavy losses and should not have the manpower to make a trip to Jingzhou.
Liu Meizhen nodded slightly.
but.
The four of them gathered together and were not afraid when they met people from the Gongsun family.
Yun Bozi was even more worried about the situation of the Tang and Jin families.
Liu Meizhen said slowly:
“Based on the information I have gathered, I’m afraid our mission this time will be somewhat difficult.
The Tang family had a swordsmanship genius named Tang Yuntian, and not long ago, the youngest daughter of the Tang clan leader was favored by the Seventh Prince, and it was said that she was already being prepared to be taken into the Prince's Mansion as a concubine.
The Tang family is thriving and has a bright future.
There are countless people who curry favor with them.
these days.
The threshold of the Tang family's house is about to be trampled by visitors."
