Aspiring to the Immortal Path

v5 Chapter 19: undercurrent

This is an incomparably wide underground molten cave. The water flows down from the suspended wall. After the originally toxic water flows through this place, somehow all the toxicity has disappeared, leaving only the clear sweet spring.

And behind the pond are countless strange rocks.

The white jade that hung from the top of the molten cave exuding a faint air of cold is impressively formed cold stalagmites.

Cold stalagmite is an extremely rare spiritual material. Although it has a hard texture, it will become soft and fragrant as long as it is refined with real inflammation. It can be eaten directly and tastes like bamboo shoots, so it is named stalagmites. But its real function is to refine pill. The addition of this substance can improve the finished product rate and quality of some special pill.

The value of the spiritual material depends on the value of the elixir that can be made. There are three high-level elixirs that require cold stalagmites, so cold stalagmites are also considered precious materials.

It's just that the cold stalagmites themselves are not too rare, and they can even be cultivated artificially, so the price is not too outrageous, but there are a lot of cold stalagmites in this cave, and they add up to a huge sum of money.

All the stalagmites in front of me had their tips cut off, leaving only the back half of the base. Needless to say, these are Shi Jingzhai's masterpieces. The stalagmites are mainly shoot tips, and the second half is worthless.

Above the top of the cave is a cold stalagmite, and on the ground is a huge pothole. If you jump into the pothole, you can see underground passages in all directions. Naturally, these passages were not dug for fun, even though everything in the passages had been hollowed out, Tang Jie still saw some faintly flickering golden light.

These golden lights were quite similar to his own golden sand, scattered around the tunnel. Tang Jie took a little closer and quickly recognized that it was a golden stone. Jinjingshi is actually a kind of metal ore, which is mainly used to make weapons. Most of the weapons made are hard and not easy to destroy. They are not high-grade for making magic weapons. Even though it couldn't hold up a large amount, Tang Jie took a look at the tunnel, and it was considered a micro-vein. If it were dug out, the value would not be lower than that of cold stalagmites.

It is estimated that Shi Jingzhai hasn't done anything in the past two years, so he is mining here.

In addition to the stalagmites on the roof of the cave, the underground veins, and the rock walls next to it are not resigned to loneliness.

Tang Jie finally found the crystallized sandworm he had been looking for.

Rather, it is a proof that they once existed.

There are some small black holes on the surrounding rock walls.

This is the trace left by the sandworms. They are like earthworms in the rock, running around, leaving holes one after another in the rock wall. However, no sandworms can be seen on the rock wall today. Exists.

There used to be a large number of spirit stones on the rock wall. It is estimated that they belonged to the same vein as the spirit mine above, but they were separated by the cliff. Only a small part of it remains here. It was this small part that was eaten up by the sandworm. Because of the poisonous moths, the sandworms can't get out from here, so they can't reach above, and they end up here.

Only a sand silkworm, with his own "strong will" and desire for spirit stones, forcibly opened up the long road to the spirit mine from the stone wall, where he could enjoy the spirit stones, and finally crystallized to death.

But these were not the root knots that shocked Tang Jie.

What really shocked him was the deepest part of the cave, the black track.

The black track hung on the rock wall in this way, at first glance it looked like a crack in the rock wall, but after a closer look, it was slightly twisted, like a black snake, glowing with deep black. When Tang Jie looked at the black rock wall crack, he could clearly feel that his gaze seemed to sink into the crack, as if there was endless depth in it, and it was worth his exploration and research.

Space crack!

This turned out to be a space crack!

Tang Jie almost yelled out.

In order to verify his judgment, he picked up a stone and threw it towards the crack. The stone hit the crack and was cut silently to form three parts. The two left and right hit the rock wall and bounced back in the middle. The thin part was swallowed directly by the crack and disappeared without a trace.

Yes, this is really a space crack.

Tang Jie understood why there were cold stalagmites and golden stones in this cave.

The space crack is originally the outer space, it is vast and deep, it is difficult to describe it, and it has all kinds of unimaginable strange characteristics. So far, even those immortals who can break through the boundary and ascend cannot accurately describe the outer space. But what is certain is that every space crack will bring a breath different from this world, which will change the topography to a certain extent.

This kind of change may be good or bad, it may bring a source of resources, or it may cause natural disasters.

It now appears that this is a relatively good space crack, and it is precisely because of its existence that the underground cavern becomes a treasure trove.

In addition, spatial cracks often bring something in themselves. As for what it is, it is hard to say. It may be just some rubbish, or it may be a strange treasure, depending on what has fallen out of the crack at that time. Now that there is nothing under the crack, it does not mean that it has not fallen out. It is more likely that it was put away by Shi Jingzhai.

Tang Jie roughly counted the scale of the resources here. Among them, the crystallized silkworm has the highest value and the least quantity, and the gold gemstone has the lowest value and the largest quantity. The three resources are combined, plus the spirit stones secretly hidden by the Shimen school. The value can basically be determined to exceed 100 million.

Of course, as a scam, Shimen School certainly can't sell this much. It is estimated that it can sell for tens of millions of dollars.

However, there is no inflation in Qixia Cultivation World, tens of millions of fortunes are enough to transform a small school into a medium or even stronger one.

There are also seven great things that are equally profitable. You have to know that some things are not measurable with money. The cold stalagmites and gold gemstones are okay. If the crystallized silkworms are put up for auction, it is possible for the value of the goods to rise by tens of millions. If it is said that there are many benefits, I am afraid that it will exceed the Shimen faction.

Therefore, this approach is undoubtedly an enemy.

This is a big crime, but in the face of the huge temptation, even if the whole family is cut, they did it.

Tang Jie couldn't help but think of something like this:

With the excavation year after year, the veins gradually came to an end and came to the edge of the cliff.

The miners continued to dig day and night. They were happy that there was such a cliff, because in this way they could throw the mined waste directly into the cliff without having to pull it out again.

This undoubtedly saves a lot of manpower.

But they didn't know that, deep in the bottomless cliff, a group of vicious poisonous moths was sleeping.

A lot of waste rock fell from the sky.

Some tussock moths were awakened by this.

They didn't act vigorously, perhaps because they didn't feel the danger, only a few poisonous moths flew up the mine tunnel along the cliff.

There, they found the culprit who disturbed their sleep, so they dragged some humans off the cliff to deal with these mortals, they didn't even need venom.

So the earliest disappearance in the mine occurred.

With the occurrence of the disappearance, Shimen sent to investigate.

The next thing seemed more natural. They first discovered the tussock moth, and the difficulty of the tussock moth caused three real people to come in person. Then it should be three real people who found some clues about the cave.

So they went deep along the river, ventured into the cave, and found the wealth there.

After that, everything becomes more logical.

Under great temptation, the three real people decided to embezzle the wealth. They first dealt with the disciple who had discovered the secret, and then placed an Earth Demon Ape at the mine vein.

The Earth Demon Ape was raised by Shi Jingzhai. It was instigated by Shi Jingzhai to personally threaten and kill some miners. As a result, the miners naturally did not dare to approach the depths of the veins.

The poisonous moths will no longer be disturbed and will never fly up again easily, so the secret is kept.

The three real people took poisonous moths as their natural guardians, and further kept the secrets of this place. For two years, they frequently entered and exited the caves to dig out all the benefits that could be excavated. Finally, they actively contacted and prepared to sell the things. out.

Of course, in addition to asking for money, they also want things that can bring them a bright future.

For example, the method of promotion to Zifu.

This is also the reason why after learning that Yu Wanniang had gone to the Kingdom of Li, Tang Jie was determined to be the Qi Jue Sect and not the other sects, because only the six major sects could easily come up with the method of promotion to the Purple Mansion.

The only thing that makes Tang Jie feel strange is that looking at the current situation, they haven't sold any part of their resources. After all, the nouveau riche temperament is difficult to hide.

Especially cultivators, other things, such as magic weapons and others, can bear not buying, but it is impossible to use the resources that can increase the speed of cultivation. But the three of Yu Wanniang were not like that. Although they were Tianxin, they were still only mid-level Tianxin. It was the Demon Age, and Yu Wanniang hadn't even reached the Demon Age, only in the Linghuan phase.

Yesterday, Tang Jie went out for a day to find out the bottom of these three people. Shi Jingzhai was the only one who had improved his realm in ten years. He entered the spiritual stage into the demon stage, and it was exactly what happened last year.

This fully proves that these wealth has not been converted into the resources that everyone needs in time to strengthen oneself. The only thing that might benefit is Shi Jingzhai.

This is unreasonable. The resources were slowly unearthed by the three of them in two years. There is no need to wait until the end to sell them together.

unless……

Tang Jie thought of his previous guess again.

"Internal instability." Tang Jie murmured these words.

On the day of drunkenness at the banquet, Tang Jie knew that these three people and Qiu Shuyu were not of the same mind, and now it seems that these three people may not fully trust each other. Because of this, many things that should have been done were not done well.

"If this is the case, there is a ready-made breakthrough." Tang Jie said to himself.

In fact, after discovering this, Tang Jie found evidence and had already completed the task, but at that moment, he suddenly realized that he might be able to do more and better.

His natural adventurous spirit made him try to move forward. The first thing he did was to start with Shi Jingzhai.

He wanted to find evidence of Shi Jingzhai's smuggling of goods.

But this time, it was not used to give an account to the Washing Moon Sect, but to the other two.

Tang Jie mobilized his heart.

Yi Yi's voice rang in her ears: "Brother, do you still know to find me?"

Tang Jie smiled and said, "Of course I think my brother has never forgotten you. How are you doing recently?"

"Very good, very happy!" Yiyi shouted in a cute voice.

Following Tang Jie to Weifu, the most comfortable life is probably Yiyi. She was lovable in appearance, and after years of training by Tang Jie, she learned to be sensible and talkative, which attracted all the adults in the mansion to love her, even though she knew she was a fine thing, she was not afraid. The old lady and grandfather in the mansion even treated Yiyi's baby as a granddaughter, serving all kinds of delicious and fun meals every day.

After Wei Zheng Shufeng knew about the relationship between Yi Yi and Tang Jie, he even set up a garden for Yi Yi Teng and officially became his own child.

So to say who is the happiest during this period, it must be Yiyi.

Hearing what Yiyi said at this moment, Tang Jie said: "It's good to be happy, but next, my brother needs you to do something for me."

"Brother, you say!"

"Go and tell Master Wei and ask him to check the transaction records of the repairer market materials for the past two years."

"The repairer's market material transaction record?" Yi Yi repeated this slurred statement.

"Yes, mainly to investigate the three materials of crystallized sandworm, cold stalagmites and jinjingshi, and look at the sales situation in the last two years. This matter is relatively cumbersome, and the young master alone cannot do it. It’s home, please take the shot, Mrs. Be fast!"

"Oh, I see." Yi Yi ran out quickly to find Wei Tian and rushed.

At this time, the benefit of having a family to rely on behind it became apparent. With the large number of manpower, contacts and information network owned by Wei's family, it is definitely much more convenient to check material transactions in the last two years than Tang Jie fights alone.

It is not an easy task to find out the transaction records of the national material market, especially after listening to Tang Jie's tone, I can't wait for a few days to help him get it done. However, after learning of this, Wei Zheng Shufeng only hesitated for a moment, and then decided to do his best to help Tang Jie.

This is not only because she trusts Tang Jie, but also because Zheng Shufeng realizes that this is a time to show the meaning of mortal existence. Only in this way can the two become more encrypted and inseparable, and at the same time, it also makes herself more powerful.

As Zheng Shufeng took care of it himself, the huge business machine of Wei's family began to operate. The first thing Zheng Shufeng did was to find the other three big households in the Canglong Mansion, the Jin family, the Zhou family and the Zhang family. In this way, the matter became the four major families working together and the workload of the Wei family was greatly reduced. Then Wei Tianchong returned to the academy in the name of Tang Jie, with Feijian, and asked Qi Shaoming, Liu Hongyan, Ping Yue and other students to leave the academy for help.

As soon as they heard that it was Tang Jie’s needs, these students left the hospital in the name of accepting tasks without saying anything, especially those students who had benefited a lot from the Tang Jie’s guidance at the Fairy Meeting. Some people Wei Tian Chongdu Without notice, they took the initiative to ask Ying down the mountain to help.

What's interesting is that Peng Yaolong and Ye Tianshang, who have already graduated, also ran up, and it was Qi Shaoming who notified them. The reason for this kid is that there are formal disciples who are sent to do so, and many things will be more convenient to do.

Peng Yaolong, Ye Tianshang and others naturally agreed immediately, and not only that, they also brought a group of disciples who had been friends in the faction to accompany them.

With Wei Tianchong as the core of information transfer, under Zheng Shufeng's advice, a massive action was launched in an orderly manner.

The official disciple of the Moon Washing Sect headed by Peng Yaolong is in charge of the transaction records of the Moon Washing Sect. As the ruling sect, they actually have a large amount of material transaction information. In addition, check the relatively high-end Xiuxianfang City. It is the easiest place to produce high-end products, but ordinary people are not qualified to enter, and only official disciples like Peng Yaolong and others can go everywhere.

The students headed by Qi Shaoming Liu Hongyan are responsible for investigating some low-level markets and auction houses, where dragons and snakes are mixed, immortals and immortals flow together, and occasionally there are good things like crystallized silkworms.

As for Gu Weizhou and others, they are responsible for investigating some mortal shops, but rare treasures such as crystallized silkworms are basically impossible to appear here. Another important task they are actually responsible for is data analysis. The disciples and students are only responsible for collecting accounts, but the authenticity of these accounts, whether they are duplicates, validity, etc., still need to be screened by professional treasurers.

That's it. Because of Tang Jie's idea and Zheng Shufeng's temporary plan, the whole Wen Xin country inexplicably set off a wave of account checks. Tang Jie had no idea that Zheng Shufeng would make such a big show, and Zheng Shufeng had no idea how popular Tang Jie would be. The result of the extraordinary assistance is an action beyond the plan. An action to verify accounts has begun to show signs of an anti-corruption storm without knowing it...

In Wenxin's country, the wind and clouds are stirring, and the undercurrent is raging at the bottom of the Everlasting Mountain.

Tang Jie, who was still ignorant of all of this at this time, after explaining what Yiyi had to do, he returned from the waterway and came to the foot of Shimen Peak. The copy of Tang Jie also came in the name of a walk. Waiting at the foot of the mountain, and disappearing when Tang Jie appeared, Tang Jie went back to the house and fell asleep.

This time the expedition was calm and the waves couldn't be ups and downs. Except for a pair of underwear, Tang Jie didn't lose any more.

Sleep well all night.

In the next time, what Tang Jie had to do was much simpler.

After figuring out the ghosts of Shi Jingzhai and the others, all Tang Jie had to do was to stay here and try to use himself as a bait to attract the main force of the Shimen faction and not give them a chance to send out to hunt down the residual scars. .

So Tang Jie then wandered around every day, trying to get acquainted with every Shimen disciple, especially those who were above the ordinary, he didn't let him go. What no one knows is that in the process of this contact, they have been silently put some small things on by Tang Jie.

These little things are either just a leaf, or a stone, or just a piece of dust.

The only thing they have in common is that they are all made with replication.

Through these replicas, Tang Jie could clearly understand everything that each disciple had done, so as to determine the real target who was sent to hunt Xi Ruihen.

At this time, Tang Jie will appear at the right time, as if by chance, and said with a look of surprise, "Huh? Why are you here too?" Can I help you? You're all friends, you're welcome."

Occasionally there is an ignorant ~lightnovelpub.net~ At that time, this ignorant friend is likely to lose his life without even finding the Xianhen.

Of course, when all this happened, Tang Jie could find a hundred witnesses to confirm his absence at the scene.

In the evening of the next day, Yu Wanniang came back.

The three elders of Shimenfeng gathered together again.

Looking at the faces of Shi Jingzhai and Liang Xingbang, Yu Wanniang looked solemn:

"They admitted that it was their work."
