Everlasting

Strictly speaking, the Black Iron veins are not within the territory of the Chen family.

The three of them flew with their swords for three full days, flying more than 10,000 miles, before they arrived at the Black Iron Mine.

After Chen Nianzhi arrived at the Xuantie Mine, he found that this location was in a remote area on the edge of Yu County, only more than three thousand miles away from Boyang County.

Boyang County is one of the three counties in Yangzhou. Although it does not belong to the same state as Bianzhou where the Chen family is located, they are adjacent to each other and are considered very close.

The two counties are bounded by the Bianyang Mountains three thousand miles away, which separates the two states. It is difficult for mortals to cross this huge mountain range, but for monks, it is not too far away.

"Is this right here?"

Looking at the barren mountains in front of him, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but move his eyes slightly.

"I discovered the black iron vein here. Unfortunately, there are gold-eating beasts, so I don't dare to go deep into it rashly."

Chen Nianfu pointed to the barren mountains ahead and said solemnly.

Chen Qinghao's eyes lit up slightly as he and Chen Nianzhi looked at each other, both showing joy.

The black iron veins are precious. If you want to protect this cake, you must set up a second-level formation. The presence of monsters means that there must be spiritual veins here, but it saves the Chen family the effort to cultivate the spiritual veins again.

"Be careful. Since there are black iron veins, there may be second-order monsters entrenched here."

Chen Nianzhi warned. In order to prevent the monster from finding out, he did not wield the sword rashly, but just walked closer to the mountains.

After entering the mountains, the three of them investigated carefully and found that there was a second-level low-grade spiritual vein in the mountains. There are hundreds of gold-eating beasts living on Lingshan Mountain, the leader of which is even as high as the second level.

"The gold-eating beast in the late stage of foundation building, and there is also a group of monster beasts."

"It seems that this black iron vein is genuine."

Chen Nianzhi said with a slight smile on his face.

Gold-eating beasts feed on gold and iron, and especially like to stay in places with metal veins. This tribe can swallow gold and iron to improve their cultivation level. The higher the quality and quantity of the metal they swallow, the higher their cultivation level will usually be.

There is actually a second-order high-grade gold-eating beast hidden here in front of us, so the black iron veins are probably real.

"It is said that the gold-eating beast has been devouring gold and iron all year round, and its physical strength is often close to that of magic weapons of the same level." The third elder frowned and couldn't help but ask: "A second-level high-grade iron-eating beast, are you sure about it?"

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Nianzhi nodded confidently and said affirmatively: "Before going to Tianxu Mountain, I really wouldn't have been able to do anything about it, but now that I have broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, I can handle it."

"good."

Chen Qinghao nodded and said with a smile: "Leave those first-order monsters to me."

The two of them made a decision and rushed into the spiritual mountain in front of them immediately. They used two natal swords to kill the gold-eating demon clan by surprise. In just a few moments, they killed more than a dozen gold-eating beasts.

"Roar--"

Such a large-scale killing, the gold-eating beast quickly reacted. The late-stage foundation-building gold-eating beast roared and rushed over angrily.

Chen Nianzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he rolled up the Lihuoguixian Sword, turning it into a sword of more than seven feet and slashing through it.

Today, his breakthrough has reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. His true energy mana is comparable to that of the seventh-level Foundation Establishment monks, and the power of the Lihuo Guixian Sword has naturally increased by three points.

Facing such an immortal sword, even the gold-eating beast did not dare to take it hard, so it could only smash it with a dark iron stick.

The black iron stick was more than ten feet long, and the entire body was made of rough black iron. Although it was only an unrefined rough embryo, the material was so strong that it actually blocked Chen Nianzhi's sword and only opened a gap. .

"There are so many rough black iron embryos."

Chen Nianzhi wrinkled slightly and then relaxed quickly. Unfortunately, he had not gathered the Lihuo Gengjin Qi yet. Otherwise, if the Lihuo Guixian Sword was promoted to the second level of high-grade, such rough black iron could be cut off with one sword.

Seeing that it was difficult to defeat this demon in a short time with just the Lihuo Guixu Sword, Chen Nianzhi sacrificed the Ziyang Furnace.

Now that Chen Nianzhi's magic power is strong, the natural power of this magical weapon has greatly increased. The light of the Purple Sun Furnace has greatly increased, and the Purple Yang True Fire surges down, burning towards the gold-eating beast.

As the saying goes, true gold is refined by fire. Although the gold-eating beast has an extraordinary body, it does not dare to let it be refined by the purple sun true fire.

At the critical moment, it spit out the demon elixir, and a golden demon elixir suddenly burst out, carrying the powerful magic power to open up the Ziyang True Fire, and directly hit the Ziyang Furnace.

This attack was as powerful as breaking a bamboo, and the mighty inner elixir hit the Ziyang furnace with astonishing power, actually suppressing the Ziyang True Fire.

Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly. Although the Ziyang True Fire of Ziyang Furnace was extremely powerful, its defensive ability was not very strong. If this blow was allowed to hit, Ziyang Furnace would probably be severely damaged, so naturally he would not let it. It got its wish.

His eyes stood up, and he used the Gengjin Divine Thunder. This was the first time he used this magical power to fight against the enemy, and he showed amazing power as soon as he took action.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a thunder suddenly exploded between heaven and earth.

I saw a bright electric light illuminating the void, like a nine-day thunder snake sweeping the sky, flashing down from the sky, and hitting the inner elixir of the gold-eating beast.

The gold-eating beast was shocked and changed, and immediately wanted to take back the inner elixir, but unfortunately it was too late.

Gengjin God's thunder and lightning flew in the wind and instantly hit the inner elixir of the monster beast. It actually dimmed the inner elixir of the gold-eating beast and caused it to fall from the air.

The inner alchemy was severely damaged, and the gold-eating beast spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and almost fell to the ground.

But after all, it was a gold-eating beast with an extraordinary physical body. It suppressed the injury and rushed forward with a black iron stick in hand, trying to snatch back its inner elixir.

But how could Chen Nianzhi let him get his wish? When he saw a roll of true energy, he immediately collected the demonic beast inner elixir and then flew the kite.

The physical body of this gold-eating beast is extraordinary, but its true energy is far inferior to Chen Nianzhi's. It can't even fly, and it doesn't have any long-range magic weapon in hand, so it can only be passively beaten.

Chen Nianzhi fought and retreated, and soon beat the gold-eating beast to bruises all over its body. After only thirty moves, he seized the opportunity and chopped off the monster's head with a sword.

At the same time, Chen Qinghao also ended the battle. He has improved rapidly after practicing Mingyuan Daoze Jue. He just broke through the second level of foundation building not long ago, and he has the natal immortal sword in his hand. Killing some first-order monsters is naturally the same as slashing melons. Just like chopping vegetables.

After the battle, a few people cleaned up the battlefield and found the black iron veins from Lingshan Mountain.

"It looks like a miniature black iron ore vein."

As a second-level formation mage, Chen Nianzhi roughly deduced the terrain and then said with a smile.

"Fortunately, it's just a miniature one." Chen Qinghao said with excitement on his face, "If it were a small mine vein, it might alarm the Zifu Immortal Clan, and we wouldn't be able to defend it at all."
