Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

Changing the topic, Zhang Xuan asked again: "I heard that the mine mouth of the underground mine can be contracted by individuals. Is this true?"

Xu Luobai nodded and confirmed: "Brother Zhang is not false. The mine mouth can indeed be contracted by individuals. Does Brother Zhang have this intention?"

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "I have been a mine slave for ten years. I know the hardships. Now I want to try the taste of contracting a mine mouth."

"Brother Zhang, you don't know that nowadays, contracting a mine mouth requires not only merit points, but also a lot of spiritual stones." Xu Luobai reminded.

"I remember that in the past, contracting a mine mouth did not require too many connections and spiritual stones. Why is it like this?"

Xu Luobai sighed and explained: "The battle between Dongming Baoyu and Cangwu Baoyu has made the resources of the Holy Land scarce. As a rare resource of the Holy Land, the underground mine has naturally become the focus of competition, and the control has also been tightened."

"Then, is there a way to contract a mine mouth?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Brother Zhang, are you really interested in this?"

"Yes, I am."

"Didn't you just say you just wanted to give it a try?" Xu Luobai asked with a smile.

"I used to be a miner, and I know the profits. Ancient spiritual ore and rare items are the source of the profits of the mine."

Xu Luobai nodded in agreement: "Brother Zhang is right. If it is only based on the blood mine of the divine wing, it is not easy to contract the mine. Ancient spiritual materials and spiritual ore are the real profit. It's a pity that the evil spirit of the five elements is difficult to remove, otherwise these things are priceless."

"That's right. Although the evil spirit of the five elements is difficult to remove, it also leaves a ray of hope for the bottom cultivators." Zhang Xuan sighed.

"Brother Zhang is too modest. You are the guard of the Criminal Chamber, a fourth-rank official. How can you be considered a low-level cultivator?"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand: "Brother Xu misunderstood. What I meant was that if it weren't for the evil spirit of the five elements, the Lord of the Holy Land would have been in charge of the mine himself. How could the mine be opened to outsiders?"

"Brother Zhang's analysis is reasonable. Although it is not easy to contract a mine, there is still a chance for those who are interested." "What channels does Yue Man Lou have to contract a mine?" Zhang Xuan took the opportunity to ask.

"To contract a mine, one can auction it in the Holy Land, but it requires spirit stones and merit points; the other is that some cultivators transfer it due to poor management. This method does not require merit points, but requires more spirit stones."

"Is there any transfer of the mine?"

Xu Luobai shook his head: "There is no news yet."

"Please pay attention to it in the future, and let me know if there is any news of the transfer of the mine."

"How many spirit stones are you willing to pay for the mine, Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Xuan said resolutely: "If I can contract it, I am willing to invest 3 million high-quality spirit stones."

A trace of surprise flashed in Xu Luobai's eyes: "If Brother Zhang can offer this price, I can contact several cultivators who contract the mine for you, and there should be news in a few days."

"Thank you, Brother Xu." Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, said goodbye to Xu Luobai, and left Yuemanlou.

He thought of one thing he had not done in the Holy Land, that is, the legacy of the alchemist Xu Anming.

At that time, Xu Anming unfortunately died in the Chaoxi Sea.

At the critical moment, Xu Anming threw his storage bag to him.

Let him leave it to the descendants of the Xu family.

This matter has been suppressed for decades.

Now he can finally help him fulfill his dying wish.

He came to the courtyard where Xu Anming said the Xu family used to be located, located on the Guiyuan Road above the third-level upper-grade spiritual vein.

However, when Zhang Xuan came here, he found that there was no Xu family here at all.

He asked around and found out.

Since Xu Anming's fake fourth-level alchemist was exposed, the Xu family has no high-level alchemist sitting in the house and gradually declined.

In the war with Cangwu Treasure Domain, the major, medium and small forces in the Holy Land were reshuffled.

The Xu family has dwindled and completely declined.

The Xu family sold the old house and moved out of Guiyuan Road.

Zhang Xuan asked along the way and finally found the location of the Xu family on a nine-way line of a second-level spiritual vein.

He came to the door.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for, senior?" asked a Qi-refining cultivator.

"Do the descendants of Daoist Fellow Xu Anming live here?"

The Qi-refining cultivator showed a trace of panic when he heard it.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to help you with something, entrusted by Fellow Daoist Xu." Zhang Xuan explained.

The Qi-refining cultivator looked at Zhang Xuan warily again and said, "Senior, please wait a moment. I'll go call the head of the family."

After a while, an old lady with white hair came out, but she was only a Jindan cultivator.

"Senior... I wonder what your relationship is with my uncle?" The white-haired old lady seemed very terrified.

Zhang Xuan sighed inwardly.

I didn't expect that the Xu family had fallen to the point where a Jindan cultivator was the head of the family.

"I know Fellow Daoist Xu, and he asked me to send a storage bag back to the Xu family."

Zhang Xuan said as he sent the storage bag to the white-haired old lady.

The white-haired old lady was stunned for a while, but still took the storage bag.

She scanned it with her spiritual sense, and found a lot of pill recipes, pills, and alchemy furnaces used by Xu Anming.

"This... is my uncle's stuff. How is he doing in the underground prison now?"

"He's dead." Zhang Xuan said directly.

Next, Zhang Xuan saw the white-haired old lady in front of him crying helplessly like a little girl.

"My condolences."

Zhang Xuan said two words, and he seemed to think of something again.

"This fourth-level blood spirit fruit is also his."

As he said that, Zhang Xuan also handed the fourth-level blood spirit fruit that he promised to give to Xu Anming in the Chaoxi Sea to the white-haired old lady.

The cause and effect here were settled, and Zhang Xuan didn't say anything more and left directly.

He returned to the Jiazi Prison again.

The place that was damaged in the Ten Thousand Layers Demon Tower last time has been completely repaired.

Besides, Zhang Xuan's token had 10,000 more merit points for no reason because of this incident.

And the only thing that Piaomiao Zhenren asked of him was to keep it secret.

He entered the secret passage again from Jiazijian.

He went down and saw the towering Ten Thousand Layers Demon Tower.

This time, he had no intention of climbing the Ten Thousand Layers Demon Tower.

He was even unwilling to get close to it again.

It was too dangerous!

He was familiar with the route and went directly along the original mine tunnel to the depths of the underground mine to explore the situation.

On the way, he also saw traces left by the battle with eight Yuanying monks decades ago.

The remains of the eight Yuanying monks were still on the ground after their bodies were destroyed.

"It seems that the holy land did not find out when the eight Yuanying monks fell, at least they did not find out where the eight Yuanying monks fell."

Zhang Xuan finally felt relieved.

In his past experience, the underground mine was an important part.

If the Holy Land found out that he participated in killing eight Yuanying guards and then took the opportunity to escape from the mine, it would be bad.

Fortunately, the Holy Land did not find any problems for the time being.

After all, it was the time when the Dongming Treasure Domain and the Cangwu Treasure Domain were fighting.

The Holy Land was busy and exhausted, and the disappearance of a few Yuanying cultivators would probably not attract much attention.

Zhang Xuan continued to walk forward along the mine tunnel.

Finally, he came to a place he was familiar with.

The mine mouths were like honeycombs, the strong five elements of evil spirits, and the place where the miners lived - Xihong Street.

What surprised him was that the cultivators left by the Cao family were still there, and a larger courtyard was built on the original site, and the formation isolated the five elements of evil spirits.

You must know that when the Cao family left, they had taken away most of the elite children.

Only the Qi Refining and some elderly foundation-building cultivators were left.

This was a serious injury to the Cao family in the underground mine.

I didn't expect that after decades, the Cao family seemed to have recovered.
