Drunk Immortal Gourd

Before their arrival, Qingfeng Palace had sent three foundation-building monks to inquire about the news. After confirming that the matter was true, the inner courtyard issued the mission.

Master Kang led a group of them through the courtyard and came to a reception hall. After entering, they saw three Qingfeng Hall foundation-building monks. Sitting on the high seat in the middle is Qingyuan Sanren, the head of the Qingfeng Palace Spiritual Mine Academy, who is in the later stages of foundation building.

The master of the Spiritual Mine Academy is responsible for all the spiritual mineral resources inside and outside Qingfeng Hall. The other two are also stewards of the Spiritual Mine Academy. One of them is a senior uncle named Liang, and the other one is actually Senior Brother Zhou Nianyu who used to guard the mountain gate. He is only eighteen years old. Years have passed, and Senior Brother Zhou who was in the late stage of Qi Refining is now a monk in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and has become their Senior Uncle Zhou.

Li Shengbo led everyone to greet the uncles first, and then waited for everyone to sit down in the main hall. Qingyuan Sanren, the head of the Lingkuang Academy, said: "You have come all the way and have worked hard all the way. I wanted to wait for you to rest for a few days. Let’s get down to business, but the situation is urgent, so I have to find you first.”

Everyone understood that these were polite words, and Li Shengbo quickly said on behalf of everyone: "Uncle, you're welcome. We are all monks here. This kind of hard work is nothing to us. Besides, everyone is here just for the spiritual mine. I'm sure You must always be at your disposal.”

Uncle Qingyuan nodded slightly and said nothing else. Then he turned his head and said to Master Kang, who was sitting at the back, "Master Kang, you have been involved in this matter from beginning to end. Let me introduce to you the situation here first.”

Then Master Kang stood up and gave a general introduction to the whole story.

It is said that thousands of years ago, Jingfeng Mountain once produced a basic weapon-making material called refined iron. Refined iron is not precious, but it has a wide range of uses. When refining weapons, almost all magic weapons and spiritual weapons must be added to more or less, and it is considered an indispensable material for refining weapons. However, after hundreds of thousands of years of mining, the fine iron here has gradually been depleted.

The situation in Jingfeng Mountain is somewhat similar to that of Yuling Mountain in Liangzhou, but the difference is that although the spiritual mines in Yuling Mountain were exhausted, the monks did not leave, and eventually formed the large city of casual cultivators, Yuling City, while Jingfeng Mountain is After the nearby spiritual mines dried up, the monks did not stay, nor did they form a city of casual cultivators. The entire mountain and some caves and mines were even occupied by monsters.

Of course, not all the monks left. Some of them occupied an area with abundant spiritual energy in Jingfeng Mountain, and gradually formed a small fairy gate called Jingfeng Pavilion. There are dozens of immortal sects like Jingfeng Pavilion on the Jiuzhou Continent, which is not surprising. Moreover, the development of Jingfeng Pavilion has always been relatively low-key, and no one has paid attention to him.

Until last year, news suddenly broke out about Jingfeng Pavilion. It was said that Jingfeng Pavilion had grown so rapidly in recent years because they discovered a large spiritual stone mine in the former fine iron mine cave. . After receiving the news, everyone was shocked to realize that the development of Jingfeng Pavilion has indeed been a bit fast in recent years. In the last trial conference of Chaos Demon Valley, Jingfeng Pavilion, although it was only a small fairy sect, received nearly ten magic-seeking orders. The strength is no less than that of many medium-sized immortal sects. If it weren't for the fact that there are no golden elixir monks in the sect, Jingfeng Pavilion would have been among the medium-sized celestial sects long ago.

Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for a small Immortal Sect to become a medium-sized Immortal Sect, or for a medium-sized Immortal Sect to become a large Immortal Sect, and it often requires thousands or even thousands of years of hard work. Even if a brilliant disciple occasionally appears, it is unlikely that he can bring up the entire sect on his own. This is because the foundation is insufficient and the successors are not strong enough. Once this disciple dies, the sect will soon be knocked down. Original shape.

Because of this, for more than two thousand years after the destruction of the Blood Demon Sect, there were only seven immortal sects on the Nine Provinces continent. And Jingfeng Pavilion has rapidly developed and grown to its current level in just a few decades. It is impossible for there to be no special reasons.

Then the Seven Immortal Sects sent foundation-building monks to Jingfeng Mountain to inquire about the news. After checking, they found that part of the previous rumors were true. Spiritual stones can indeed be dug out of the mines in Jingfeng Mountain. , but it cannot be regarded as a spiritual stone mine, because there are not many spiritual stones produced in the mine, and it is particularly difficult to dig, with high investment and low returns. But the good news is that the quality of the spiritual stones produced here is relatively high, and it is easy to obtain high-level spiritual stones.

There are different levels of spiritual stones. The most commonly used ones are low-grade spiritual stones, the higher-grade ones are middle-grade spiritual stones, and then there are high-grade spiritual stones and the legendary top-grade spiritual stones.

The spiritual energy contained in high-grade spiritual stones is generally dozens of times that of low-grade spiritual stones, with a slight fluctuation. However, the spiritual energy contained in high-grade spiritual stones is purer, more efficient to use, and more widely used, so The exchange ratio between high-grade and low-grade spiritual stones is fixed at one hundred. In other words, one top-quality spiritual stone is equal to one hundred high-grade spiritual stones, which is equal to ten thousand mid-grade spiritual stones, and which is equal to one million low-grade spiritual stones. stone.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the spiritual stones used by everyone are usually low-grade spiritual stones, while medium-grade spiritual stones are particularly rare. Because they are so useful, few monks are willing to exchange the middle-grade spiritual stones they get for others. High-grade spiritual stones are even rarer. Generally, only the top golden elixir monks have them. Ordinary monks have never even heard of them, let alone seen them.

As for the top-grade spiritual stones, they are even more legendary. One piece is equivalent to a million low-grade spiritual stones. In all these years of cultivating immortals in the Kyushu continent, no one has ever heard of anyone obtaining one.

Because of the temptation of high-level spiritual stones, even though the results of the investigation were different from the rumors, the Seven Immortal Sects decided to take action. No one dares to expect top-grade spiritual stones. As long as you can dig a few high-grade spiritual stones in this mine, even if it takes a little more effort, it will be worth it.

Jingfeng Pavilion can't afford to offend any of the seven immortal sects if they just move out, let alone the seven immortal sects coming together? So after some friendly negotiations, Jingfeng Pavilion gave up most of its interests.

The Seven Immortal Sects are somewhat scrupulous about the reputation of the sect, and the appearance is not ugly. The areas that Jingfeng Pavilion has discovered and the scope of the sect are all left to Jingfeng Pavilion, but other places are divided into seven large blocks. Each of the Seven Immortal Sects The two families do not interfere with each other, and whoever finds it is the one who gets it.

Previously, the Qingyuan Sanren, the people from the Lingkuang Academy and other sects had already divided the area. The main tasks of Qingyang and the inner courtyard disciples in the early stage were to clear the monster beasts in the area divided by the Qingfeng Palace, explore the unknown mines, and draw a simplified map of the area. , eliminate all nearby dangers as much as possible.
