Chapter 298 Star Crystal

five minutes later.

  Under Qiao Yuanshan's almost stagnant gaze, Li Mi dealt with all fourteen skeleton monsters.

   Among them, the battle took a total of half a minute, and it took one minute to rush to the fourteen skeleton monsters.

  With three and a half minutes remaining, he was searching for the loot left behind by the skeleton monster "self-immolation".

   I have to say, he was lucky.

   Actually found a star crystal from inside.

   It is still a genuine star crystal.

   "Star Crystal is a global hard currency, do you have a channel to sell it?"

  Li Mi came to Qiao Yuanshan.

   And Qiao Yuanshan...

   Till this moment, there is still no reaction.

  Hearing Li Mi's question, not only did he not answer immediately, but he couldn't help asking: "Li Wusheng...you...are you a high-level star refiner?"

"no."

  Li Mi replied: "The difference between a star refiner and a warrior is still very obvious. Ordinary people can't sense it clearly. As a martial artist, can't you sense it?"

  He said: "I'm just a special warrior who has traveled a little farther on the road of martial saints and has little talent."

   Talented people! ?

   Thousands of people slaughtered! ?

  Okukaigawa! ?

   Tyrone! ?

  Wang Liancheng! ?

   Qiao Yuanshan suddenly thought of these names.

  Dayue Land has almost lost contact with the outside world, but Qiao Yuanshan is not ignorant of outside news as the top expert under the lord of Xiangye City.

  Although they had a great delay in obtaining the news, he still heard about the battle of the century that spread to every corner of the world.

  He is also no stranger to the sayings about peerless martial saints such as "extraordinary talents".

only…

  Peerless Martial Saint, is he so strong?

  Maybe they fought desperately, and indeed killed a medium-sized monster comparable to a formal star refiner, but in any case, they couldn't do it lightly like the Li Wusheng in front of them, right?

or…

   Martial arts in the land of Dayue are already behind the times?

but…

   Li Mi obviously didn't intend to continue explaining, and he didn't dare to ask too much.

   Such a powerful martial saint who is so terrifying that he is chasing high-level star refiners...

   Already possessed the power to overturn the entire fragrant leaf collar.

  Li Mi took a look at the tragic situation in Ginkgo Village...

  Having tested the strength of the skeleton monster, he also lost the meaning of going deeper into the ancient orc battlefield.

   "Let's go back together."

   Li Mudao.

"yes."

  Qiao Yuanshan quickly agreed.

At this time, he seemed to have just remembered Li Mi's question to him just now, and quickly replied: "Li Wusheng, the big merchants and the empire have special purchasing stations in several big cities in Molong Kingdom. We can get some precious materials and They exchange what they need, and star crystals are the type with the highest exchange value!"

  He glanced at what was in Li Mi's hand: "A genuine star crystal is worth three million imperial gold dollars or six million large merchant coins."

   "Three million, six million..."

  Li Mi frowned upon hearing the offer.

  The ratio of Dashang currency to Tianyuan currency is the same, and the exchange rate between Imperial Gold Yuan and Dashang currency is close to 1:2. However, no matter what kind of currency, their purchase price is still a lot lower than the market price.

   After a while, Li Mi didn't waste any more energy.

   are all foreign things.

   It is not difficult for him to get some money with his current ability.

   "Sell it for me, and then buy some supplies. I will give you a list then."

  Li Mi threw the star crystal away.

   "I'm going to sell?"

  Qiao Yuanshan quickly took the star crystal and said at the same time: "This... this is a genuine star crystal worth three million imperial gold dollars!"

   In this land, three million imperial gold dollars are enough to buy the life of a martial saint!

   "Go."

  Li Mi didn't explain too much.

   Planning to practice in Da Yue for a period of time, it is not appropriate to stay in Wen Yusheng's manor for nothing after all.

   Soon, the vehicle returned.

   Another bumpy four hours.

   But when entering Xiangye City, Li Mi stopped the vehicle in front of an adobe brick house.

   Seeing someone coming, who was still in a car, two children, a boy and a girl who were playing in front of the house, ran into the room one after another.

   Not long after, a well-clothed man came out from inside.

  But when they saw Qiao Yuanshan who was walking with Li Mi, they hurriedly saluted: "Teacher Qiao."

  Qiao Yuanshan glanced at him, but had no impression.

  The man quickly explained: "Eight years ago, I listened to your martial arts class at the Fragrant Leaf Assembly Hall."

   Qiao Yuanshan nodded.

  When they first arrived in Xiangyeling, they really intended to promote martial arts so that the people of Xiangyeling could be self-reliant and self-reliant, so as to avoid being helpless in the face of danger, so they specially taught martial arts in public at the meeting place in Xiangye City.

   But later they realized that the first thing Xiangye Ling had to solve was the problem of food and clothing for everyone. They couldn’t get enough to eat, and they couldn’t keep up with nutrition. Forced martial arts training would only ruin the body.

   Therefore, the martial arts teaching that lasted for three months was forced to stop.

  It's a pity that the problem of food and clothing...

  The high taxes apportioned by the above made it impossible for the lord to completely solve the problem after nine years of hard work.

  Especially five or two years ago, when the tax officials saw that the mental outlook of the people of Xiangye City had improved significantly, they increased the tax amount again.

   "Yesterday, I took a set of clothes from your house for a special reason."

   Li Mu said, and took out a stack of gold coins from her body: "This is compensation for you."

  The man's eyes lit up when he saw the stack of gold coins that Li Mi took out.

  However, his eyes stayed on Li Mi and Qiao Yuanshan for a moment, and he quickly made a decision in his heart, and quickly bent down: "It is Meng Ren's honor to have that suit of clothes in your favor."

   Qiao Yuanshan on the side saw it, and said in a deep voice, "If you tell you to take it, you can take it."

   "Teacher Qiao calm down."

  Meng Ren bowed his waist very low: "I would like to implore my lord to accept my son Meng Yang as a servant, and let him serve you by your side from now on..."

   "Bold!"

  Before Meng Ren finished speaking, Qiao Yuanshan had already sternly shouted.

  He said to Li Mu: "Don't pay attention to what these people say, otherwise, they will take an inch when given the opportunity."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Meng Ren: "Don't say it's just a small matter of borrowing your clothes. No matter how big it is, if you dare to repay the kindness of the matter, it will be in vain to lead the people for my Xiangye. If you dare to talk nonsense, you will be directly arrested deport!"

  Meng Ren was so frightened that he knelt down. At the same time, he pulled his arms and sleeves away in horror, and the...

   There was a blackened wound, in which streaks of black energy had penetrated along the wound and towards the body.

  Seeing this wound, Qiao Yuanshan suddenly changed his face: "Death? Are you injured by a living corpse?"

   Immediately afterwards, he said: "No, you are not like a warrior at all. How can you survive if you encounter a living corpse?"

   "It was scratched by ore stained with corpse blood while searching for ore..."

  Meng Ren's eyes revealed grief, but more despair.

   "Search for ore..."

   Qiao Yuanshan couldn't help being silent after hearing this.

  The black gold mining area is the largest mining area left over from the Dayue period, and the interior extends in all directions.

  During the turbulent period, many Dayue soldiers retreated to the mining area under the pursuit of the star refiners. Soldiers plus miners, many people died inside.

However, due to the sudden attack by the star refiners, many mineral deposits in the mining area were too late to be transferred out, so people often went deep into the Fragrant Leaf Territory and several surrounding territories, wanting to search for ancient copper ore, hematite, and black iron ore. , Mithril mines, and fine gold mines in order to make a fortune.

Although as time went by, the soldiers, miners who died inside, and the people who went deep into it to **** the ownerless ore were transformed into living corpses and demons by star power erosion, the mining area has also become a place that is dangerous to the surrounding areas. This territory is the most dangerous place, but there are still countless people risking their lives to search for ores and even dig mines.

  Not to mention the other territories, hundreds of people die in Fragrant Leaf Territory alone every year.

but…

  A piece of black iron ore with acceptable purity can be sold for thousands of imperial gold dollars. For this high profit, it is worth countless people risking their lives to continue.

   "If you are infected with death, you will definitely die. Meng Yang's mother died of illness three years ago, and his grandparents also died in the turmoil nine years ago. I am dead. They... can't survive..."

  Meng Ren kowtowed for a while: "I beg your lord to take them in..."

   "Okay, the lord will not give up any of his subjects, I will apply for subsistence allowances for you..."

   Qiao Yuanshan said in a deep voice.

   "You asked your son to be my servant, what about your daughter?"

   Li Mudao.

  He just saw that there are two children in the yard.

  Boys are about ten years old, and girls are five or six years old.

   Facing Li Mi's question, Meng Ren opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally trembled, lowered his head, and didn't even dare to look into the room.

   "Contaminated with death energy, can't it be cured?"

  Li Mi glanced at Qiao Yuanshan.

   "It's just a wound, that's all. If you cut off your hand, you should be able to save your life... But the death energy penetrates deep into the body..."

  Qiao Yuanshan shook his head while speaking: "It is said... only top star refiners can take out the dead energy..."

  Top star refiner!

  On the land of Dayue, only the most powerful warlords have top star refiners, and most of the warlords are no more than high-level star refiners.

   Small lords like Xiangye Ling within the sphere of influence of warlords don't even have a star refiner, and the strongest force is estimated to be two or three martial sages.

  Of course, due to the extreme shortage of Da Yue star refiners, six hundred guns are more deterrent than two or three martial saints.

   Qiao Yuanshan said, sighing: "Since I know about this matter, I can't ignore it. I will inform the lord, and the relief department will raise the two of them."

   "Thank you, Teacher Qiao, thank you, Teacher Qiao..."

  Meng Ren kowtowed again and again, weeping with joy.

   "Warriors dare to go to the black gold mining area. If you don't die, who will die? And the two children who were killed became orphans!"

  Qiao Yuanshan hates iron for not being a steel road.

   "Meng Yang...he is very talented...I...I really don't want him to be like me...There is no future in this life..."

  Meng Ren said with a trembling voice.

   Qiao Yuanshan could only sigh after hearing this.

   In the final analysis, Xiangye Ling is too poor.

   This Martial Sage seemed to have seen too much of this kind of thing, so he didn't say anything, greeted Li Mi, and got into the car.

  The group returned to the manor of the lord Wen Yusheng smoothly.
