Chapter 51: Blood Jade Spider, Great Relocation Order (Please read and recommend!)
In addition to reporting the news about Lin Yi, Su Feiyan also reported on the development of the Casual Cultivators' Union in the past two years.
First of all, in addition to the president Li Mufeng, and the three vice presidents Jiang Chuan, Jiang Jing, and Li Poyun, she formed a group of thirteen elders.
Thirteen powerful independent cultivators were selected to serve as elders, and they would receive a point-based salary every month.
Among these thirteen people, two are independent cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the remaining eleven are independent cultivators who have reached the Perfect Qi Refining Stage. They are probably just waiting for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
These people were selected by Su Feiyan from the casual cultivators, and then Jiang Chuan and Jiang Jing were asked to come forward, so they were completely unaware of the relationship between the casual cultivators' union and the Black Evil Sect and the evil demon cultivators.
In fact, those who knew these secrets, as well as the wandering cultivators who had followed him early in the morning, were all taken to Xizhou by Li Mufeng.
In addition to the Thirteenth Elder, another thing worth reporting is the foundation-building elixir of the past two years.
To be honest, a few years ago, the foundation-building elixirs in the hands of the Yue Kingdom's independent cultivators had almost all been taken away by their independent cultivators' union.
After all, it is impossible for every casual cultivator to have spiritual medicine in their hands, and it is also impossible to find foundation-building spiritual medicine every year.
Therefore, Li Mufeng sent people to pretend to be the wandering cultivators from Yuanwu Kingdom, Zijin Kingdom, and Cheqi Kingdom to deliver two packages of foundation-building elixirs every year, otherwise the foundation-building pills of the wandering cultivators’ union would have been gone long ago.
Some of these foundation-building pills were exchanged by the female cultivator who submitted the talisman secret book, and some were exchanged by some independent cultivators who had precious elixirs in their hands. Most of the rest were bought by the Yan family and other cultivator families.
Now there are only three left hanging in the guild of casual practitioners to save face.
After hearing all this, Li Mufeng just hummed. It was very good to be able to achieve this in Yue State.
In addition, Su Feiyan also manages some of the Black Evil Sect's affairs.
These Black Evil Sects have recruited several monks with dual spiritual roots through a large number of medical clinics and academies, three of whom are children and the other four are adults.
These people, along with their families, were sent to the secret base of the Black Evil Cult.
So far, no one with extraordinary spiritual roots or special physiques has been found among the huge group of mortals.
There is nothing they can do about it. After all, only Jingzhou, Xizhou and the Jingji area are completely under their control. As for other big cities like Lanzhou, they have to be extremely careful when doing things.
This is also thanks to the fact that Wen Ming has been transferred to the central government because of his outstanding political achievements. Wen Ming and a group of Jingzhou officials have made efforts in the central government.
"It's as expected."
Li Mufeng naturally expected such a result. The reason he did all this was to establish a complete system before it grew and became stronger.
If you want to truly see the effect, the sphere of influence must be expanded to a certain extent.
Trying to find geniuses among mortals is like looking for a needle in a haystack. This requires a huge base of mortals. Currently, the population they control is too small, so it is normal that there is no gain.
"Send someone to inform Lin Yi and ask him to find a chance to evacuate those sect monks. I'm going to go to the spirit stone mine."
"Yes, Master!"
On the other hand, after this battle, Su Feiyan realized one thing.
That is she might need some help.
As for Li Mufeng, she was very clear that there were quite a few women around him, and they were all very powerful.
For example, Xin Ruyin, after hearing that the other party had actually created the inverted five elements formation, she realized that this woman was not simple.
And there is Xuelan, the only woman who can always stay with Li Mufeng.
In order to deal with the possibility of more women appearing in the future, she must also make some preparations.
In addition, she also knew that Li Mufeng was thinking of finding some maids to help him with chores, but he was too busy to spare the time to choose.
It just so happened that she was doing this, and she also happened to need some help to consolidate her position.
Unlike Tie Luo and Xue Lan who are loyal to Li Mufeng, she has her own ambitions!
"It seems that there is a little girl among the dual spiritual root cultivators this time. We can train her first and see how she is before deciding whether to bring her out."
One month later.
At a certain junction between Jianzhou and Linzhou, there is a huge wasteland with many large rift valleys.
The Seven Sects Spiritual Stone Mine is located in a large canyon that is over a hundred feet deep.
Although this spirit stone mine has a large reserve, its guarding power has always been weak.
There is only one Foundation Establishment cultivator and twelve Qi Refining cultivators.
Mainly due to the current status of the seven sects in Yue State, no one is so desperate as to come here and cause trouble. They have the life to earn but not to spend, so there is no need for particularly powerful force.
Usually there is a foundation-building cultivator leading the group, and the rest are Qi-refining disciples.
Another thing is that this spiritual stone vein has rich reserves, but the richest main vein has been almost mined out, and now there are many branch veins left. These branch veins are not only difficult to mine, but also require a lot of effort.
But these branches are numerous, and the spirit stones added up are more than those in the main branch, and the seven sects are reluctant to give them up, so they can only use time to slowly grind them like they are doing now.
Leave everything to time, time will solve everything.
On this day, the new manager of the Lingshi Mine gathered everyone together and announced that there would be a few days off.
He wanted to experiment with his new puppet in the mines.
When the monks heard the news, they looked at each other in bewilderment, but no one dared to say anything. After all, Master Lin from the Huangfeng Valley was a monk in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and they were just a group of little Karami in the Qi Refining stage.
If you dare to object, you might disappear in the mine for unknown reasons.
The miners were much happier.
Although the reserves of this spirit stone mine are very rich, the quality is not high. They are all low-level spirit stones. In addition, the main vein has been dug out and the remaining branches are distributed very scattered and not concentrated together, so mortals can also dig them.
Therefore, most of these miners are mortals, and a small number are captured independent cultivators.
As miners here, they don't even have to worry about wages. Today is the first time they heard that a monk was willing to give them a holiday. They all said that a good person had finally come this time.
In order to take care of these mortals who have worked here for several years or even decades, Senior Brother Lin specially sent eight of the guarding monks to go to the nearby mortal city to buy some wine and meat.
"This"
The eight monks looked at each other. They had never done such a thing in their lives, and they didn't dare to reason with Lin Yi.
Fortunately, Master Lin was generous enough to give them more than ten spirit stones as a fee for running errands.
In addition, he gave more than twenty spirit stones as money to buy food and wine for thousands of miners.
They had never heard of exchanging spiritual stones for mortal money in their lives.
I can only sigh that this Uncle Lin is indeed a puppeteer with great wealth and power.
It was naturally impossible for them to spend spirit stones in the secular world, so they just found a wealthy family or a martial arts sect, pretending to be cultivators, and then used a few pills that cost one spirit stone to exchange for a large amount of wine and meat.
The rest will naturally belong to them.
The remaining four people were assigned by Lin Yi to guard the mortals to prevent them from causing trouble by gathering together.
Of course, Lin Yi also gave them a dozen spirit stones.
The four monks also went happily.
In fact, from the moment Lin Yi sent them away, they guessed what the other party wanted to do.
After all, this kind of thing is a tacit agreement among all those who come to the Lingshi Mine, but I didn’t expect that Master Lin is such a good person.
He ate the meat himself and gave them some soup.
As for whether the sect will take care of this matter, they don’t know, but they can’t do anything about it anyway.
A few days later, the monk who went out to buy wine and meat came back with a lot of things. There were more than twenty storage bags, and the dozens of puppets used to transport the supplies were even more full.
Soon the miners were in an unprecedented carnival.
And those guarding monks also walked away because of Lin Yi's benefits. They covered their ears, closed their eyes, found a pot of good wine, drank it in one gulp, and fell asleep after getting drunk.
"Things went well."
"Consider these Qi Refining Powders as your hard work fee."
Looking at the deserted spirit stone mine, Li Mufeng praised it and threw three bottles of Qi Refining Powder to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi naturally wasn't polite and put the Qi Refining Powder into his storage bag, chuckling.
"After all, he was the young master of Qianzhu Sect back then, so he knew a thing or two about management."
"Xue Lan, let's go." Li Mufeng ignored Lin Yi beside him and walked in with Xue Lan.
To be honest, Li Mufeng didn't know where the natural stalactite cave with the ancient teleportation array was. If he wanted to find the place he wanted accurately in this vast underground world, he would either have to spend a lot of time or send a large number of people.
But that's only for ordinary people.
Compared with the spiritual power of ordinary people, Li Mufeng's blood power is more sensitive to qi and blood.
Although he couldn't find the stalactite cave, he could find the blood jade spider.
Following the longest passage in the spirit stone mine, Li Mufeng felt a huge force of energy and blood, which was obviously the blood jade spider.
But the number is a little wrong, it's two instead of one.
It seems that the female blood jade spider is not pregnant now. The male spider in the original book should have been eaten by the pregnant female spider.
That's why when Han Li came here, there was only one blood jade spider.
"This way."
Li Mufeng and Xue Lan used the earth escape technique to travel underground.
After a while, the two came to a natural stone cave in the underground world.
This is a stalactite cave with many connections. Although I don’t know how big it is, it definitely doesn’t look too small.
Xuelan directly threw out several moonstones and embedded them in the wall, illuminating the cave.
After passing through dozens of caves in a row, the space of the stalactite caves became larger and larger, and the largest one could accommodate almost a hundred people without any problem.
After that, they passed through three or four caves and came to a larger stalactite cave, where two huge spider-like monsters were lying on the ground.
These two giant spiders are several feet in size and their entire bodies are crystal white, like two huge pieces of white jade.
What is even more eye-catching is that behind the spider, among the piles of raw spirit stone ore, there is an extremely quaint hexagonal teleportation array. On one side of the teleportation array, there is a five-colored skeleton sitting cross-legged in meditation, floating three feet above the ground, holding a blue token in its hand, emitting a faint glow.
"found it."
When Li Mufeng saw the ancient teleportation array, a smile appeared on his face.
Xuelan was still as calm and indifferent as usual.
As for the blood jade spiders nearby, Li Mufeng subdued them with just one release.
After releasing the two blood jade spiders, Li Mufeng slowly walked to the five-colored skeleton, opened his hand, and sucked the token in the other's hand into his own hand.
The token was blue and radiated a faint glow. Judging from the simple patterns and the ancient characters engraved on it, it was obviously an ancient object.
Then he used the fire bomb technique to burn the five-colored skeleton and collected the large amount of five-colored beads that were refined.
This is the product after the Bu Tian Pill has not been fully refined, and it has the same effect as the Bu Tian Pill.
After doing all this, Li Mufeng took out the jade slip and copied the ancient teleportation array.
After looking at the two blood jade spiders next to them, I decided to just let them stay here.
"Let's go, we're done, let's go back to Xizhou next."
Li Mufeng and Xue Lan then flew out of the mine.
"Is it done so quickly?"
Lin Yi was a little surprised to see Li Mufeng and Xue Lan come out so quickly.
"Well, things went smoothly. You did a good job."
The trip was very smooth and Li Mufeng was in a good mood. He threw three more bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills to Lin Yi.
"Practice well, and I guarantee you will achieve the Dan in twenty years!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi raised his head and looked at Li Mufeng, his eyes full of ecstasy.
"Thank you, sir."
"No need to do that, the deal between you and me still stands!"
Leaving this sentence, Li Mufeng took Xuelan and left.
Xizhou.
When Li Mufeng returned to the cave where the Spirit Eye Spring was located, he did not find Xin Ruyin.
"Well, did Ruyin go out for something?"
Xin Ruyin sometimes goes out to the surrounding mountains to collect tea leaves and purchase some materials needed for researching formations.
Although she was assigned special staff to do these tasks, Xin Ruyin always liked to do them herself. She believed that some things were meaningful only when she did them herself.
At least she can do these things within her ability.
Li Mufeng didn't say much about this. He just arranged some monks to protect her secretly. As long as Xin Ruyin was happy, it was fine.
Half a month later, Xin Ruyin returned from the market of Tianxing Sect.
Li Mufeng did not ask the other party what he was doing, but he had already guessed it from the reports from his subordinates and Brother Xu.
The two people who had not seen each other for a long time lay naked facing each other, one on top of the other, and expressed their longing for each other.
However, Xin Ruyin was only a Qi Refining cultivator after all, so naturally she could not be a match for Li Mufeng, a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
"Brother Mufeng, why don't you call Xiaomei in?"
Xin Ruyin was lying on Li Mufeng's chest, breathing sweetly, her eyes a little dazed.
Li Mufeng refused without any thought.
"Need not."
"You should take a rest."
Li Mufeng is very clear that there are quite a few women around him now, and there will definitely be more in the future.
In order to prevent fires in the harem, the most important thing is to divide the levels well, so that everyone knows what is going on in their minds and does not do anything out of line.
Xin Ruyin's qualification to sleep alone with him was not on the same level as the ordinary maids he was planning to train.
Hearing Li Mufeng's words, Xin Ruyin felt sweet in her heart, which just shows her unique status.
"Ruyin, hurry up and study this formation and see if you can find a way to fix the broken parts."
As he spoke, Li Mufeng handed over a jade slip in his hand.
"Is this an ancient teleportation array?"
Xin Ruyin probed the jade slip handed over by Li Mufeng with her spiritual sense and said with some surprise.
After reading it carefully, Xin Ruyin nodded and gave Li Mufeng some time.
"With my level, I can't repair a completely destroyed ancient teleportation array, but the damage to this teleportation array is very small, only a small corner of it."
"And it just so happens that this part of the formation is one of the few ancient formations that I have learned."
"At least half a year, at most a year."
"Ruyin, it's okay. Take your time. I'm not in a hurry."
Li Mufeng patted Xin Ruyin's jade back with his big hand, signaling her not to be so anxious.
In Li Mufeng's arms, there was the sense of security that Xin Ruyin had been seeking for, which was what she desired most.
She has been tormented by the dragon's roar since she was a child. Her life has entered a countdown before it even began. When she was young, her parents suffered a tragic misfortune, which made her like a frightened bird and full of despair about the world she came into.
However, all these disappeared without a trace when they were with Li Mufeng.
Li Mufeng's calmness and confidence made her feel extremely at ease. This was her home in this life.
Leaning in his arms, Xin Ruyin fell into a long-unseen peaceful sleep, instead of waking up from a nightmare like in the past.
