The Way of the Immortal Master

That night, Meng Zhang secretly came to the location of the red copper mine. He took out the insect control jar, injected true energy, and gently drove it.

After a while, the ground trembled. After a while, large holes appeared on the ground ahead.

The number of sandworms, which had increased to nine, came out of the ground.

The originally rebellious sandworms are now as well-behaved as children, and they automatically line up in front of Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang used the magic eye to destroy delusion, and carefully inspected the belly of the sandworm in front of him.

The huge sandworm's huge abdomen has become bulging. Obviously, they are already filled with red copper ore.

After many attempts, Meng Zhang found that the stomach of the sandworm would be almost full every ten days or so.

The sandworms domesticated and controlled by the worm pot overcame their own nature and reduced their sleeping time.

Once released by Meng Zhang, he will actively drill into the ground, and will not run around, but directly enter the red copper ore veins, and start to devour the red copper ore.

Every time a period of ore is devoured, the sandworm will stop and rest for a while. After the physical strength recovers, it will continue to devour the ore.

Going back and forth like this, these hard-working miners have continued their work until their stomachs are full.

Taking all the sand worms back into the worm-proof pot, taking advantage of the night, Meng Zhang sneaked back to the Taiyi Gate.

As soon as he returned to Taiyi Gate, Meng Zhang released all the sandworms and controlled them to forcefully spit out all the swallowed ore.

The red copper ore spit out by the sandworm is naturally responsible for cleaning by disciples.

He took out the specially purchased food for feeding demon worms, and after feeding all the sand worms, Meng Zhang put them all back into the insect control tank.

The sandworm needs to rest in the insect control tank for a few days before it can recover the exhausted physical strength and energy.

The red copper ore cleaned by the disciples in the door will be sent to the refining room.

The so-called refining room is just a separate hall that has just been built. There is a low-grade first-grade refining furnace and many spiritual woods used as fuel.

Tian Li spent most of the day sitting in the refining room.

The current Tian Li is already considered a qualified craftsman apprentice.

He seized all the spare time after training to refine red copper ore as much as possible.

In fact, even if Meng Zhang also took a lot of time to refine red copper ore, the speed of refining was far behind the speed of sandworm mining.

Looking at the red copper ore piled up more and more in the storage room, but there is no time to refine it, this is really a happy trouble.

Meng Zhang is not in a hurry, and it is not a bad thing to refine slowly and sell slowly.

Direct sale of copper ore will not only lose a lot of profits, but also easily expose the existence of copper ore.

The Thick Earth God General's original speculation was correct. This red copper ore vein also contains a lot of associated ore.

The associated ores are Yanjing and Xuanjin, which are far more precious than red copper.

These associated ores are carefully separated and refined separately.

The income from this red copper mine has become the most stable source of income for Taiyimen.

Meng Zhang was thinking about whether he should train a few more craftsmen apprentices among the disciples in the sect.

Anyway, the cost of cultivating craftsmen apprentices is not high, and these disciples themselves have poor spiritual roots. It is also a good thing for them to let them learn one more craft.

With more craftsmen and apprentices, the speed of refining red copper ore can be greatly accelerated.

However, this matter is not in a hurry, so let's put it aside for now.

There are only a dozen or so disciples in the sect, and there are not many who practice fire attribute exercises.

At this time, it has been almost two months since Thick Earth God will fall into a deep sleep.

After that earthquake, monks from all over the place turned that area upside down. Even the huge bottomless pit has been thoroughly ascertained.

None of the monks found any valuable clues in the local area. The fabled monk's cave is nowhere to be seen.

Even Meng Zhang felt a little strange when he heard the news.

I clearly found the monks' cave, and the protective magic circle outside the cave, not counting the monks trapped in the circle.

Why have all these disappeared without a trace, leaving no clues?

However, no matter how curious he was, Meng Zhang firmly remembered the command of God General Houtu, and was determined not to enter that area again, the farther away the better.

The enthusiasm in the cultivation world always comes and goes quickly.

The cultivators who found no clues in that area quickly lost their patience and dispersed.

There are many places worth exploring in the cultivation world, there is no need to waste time in a worthless place.

This matter just passed away without any follow-up, Meng Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, and told Li Xuan to bury the secret that he and others had entered there deeply in his heart and never let it out.

Ever since this incident happened, Meng Zhang also followed the example of the former thick-earth general and patrolled around the Taiyi Gate from time to time.

If any problems are found, they should be dealt with in time.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the sandworm to rest in the jar, Meng Zhang decided to go a little further.

As if by a strange coincidence, Meng Zhang rode the chasing horse and ran all the way to the abandoned Meng family oasis.

During the sand monster rebellion more than ten years ago, the Meng family oasis was breached by sand monsters.

Like all oases destroyed by sand monsters, the spiritual veins in the Meng family oasis were destroyed, and the oasis completely degenerated into a desert within a short period of time.

The once prosperous Meng family oasis has completely turned into ruins at this time.

Meng Zhang took a turn next to the Meng Family Oasis.

Tens of miles to the north is the area where the earthquake occurred, and it is also the place where Meng Zhang and the others fled.

Meng Zhang didn't dare to take the initiative to enter there, but changed the direction and continued to ride the chasing horse.

Meng Zhang headed south and slowed down before he had gone fifty miles on his chasing horse.

Not far ahead is a series of hills.

Meng Zhang rode a chasing horse to the highest hillside, looking down.

Several hillsides form a circle, and in the middle is a valley with an area of ​​more than 100 mu.

Meng Zhang sensed carefully on the hillside, yes, there is actually a relatively strong aura here.

He cast his illusion-breaking eyes and looked around carefully.

Then, he cast the earth escape technique and dived directly into the ground.

After a long time, Meng Zhang got out from the ground.

Meng Zhang was not mistaken. At some point, a brand new spiritual vein appeared.

Meng Zhang had passed by here before, and it was clearly a barren mountain and wild ridge, very desolate, with no spiritual veins at all.

Meng Zhang also mastered a little bit of the art of geomancy, so he started surveying the surroundings.

After some careful investigation, Meng Zhang had a guess in his mind.
