Fu Heng withdrew his gaze and walked back slowly.
Before he came to Zhangwei Mountain, he did a lot of homework in advance and prepared many cold-resistant items.
Even so, I encountered many difficulties at the beginning and was frostbitten several times.
The two ascenders who don't know much about Zhangwei Mountain will only be more embarrassed than they were before.
After walking a distance, Xiaobai looked back, and after confirming that he could no longer see Fu Heng, he curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Sister, I feel like Fu Heng just now has some bad intentions. Does he look down on us Ascendants?"
"He doesn't look down on us, he's just jealous."
Xu Chunniang explained, "He dreams of something, but we don't care about it at all. He feels unbalanced, so he becomes jealous."
"What is the thing you dream of? To rely on a strong person and go to the third or second heaven?"
Xiaobai came to his senses and looked down upon Fu Heng even more.
"Sister taught us since we were young that we must rely on ourselves. Only our own strength can make us truly powerful.
If you start to rely on others, you will lose the heart of a strong person. This Fu Heng is no different!"
Xu Chunniang smiled and said, "He is a native of the fairyland, born in Zongdongtian, and his starting point exceeds that of most people in this world.
His life has been very smooth, he has not experienced any setbacks or hardships, so his thoughts and ideas are naturally different from ours, so don’t worry about it.”
"Yeah, I didn't take him seriously anyway."
Xiaobai nodded, and immediately forgot about Fu Heng.
The place chosen by Xu Chunniang was higher, and the two climbed for most of the day before finally arriving.
"Aqiu!"
Xiaobai sneezed and couldn't help shaking his body. This place was even colder than down there!
"Is it cold?"
Xu Chunniang added two more rules to Xiaobai, "How do you feel now?"
Xiao Bai's face, which had been frozen purple, regained color. "I feel much better now. But, sister, is your spiritual energy still sufficient?"
"Don't worry. Perhaps it's because I have absorbed my vital energy into my body. My tolerance to extreme cold is slightly higher. The little spiritual energy in me should be enough for us to build the stone house."
The two looked at a small open space halfway up the mountain, and after a short rest, they made a rough plan.
"The area in the middle close to the mountain can be used to build stone houses, and the mountain's shielding can extend the service life of the Qinggang stone."
Xiaobai nodded, thinking back to other people's residences he had seen along the way, and suggested.
“The open space on both sides can be reclaimed to grow fairy herbs or raise some smaller fairy beasts.
At that time, Sister will use the formation to surround the fairy grass, fairy beasts and stone house."
"Okay, I'll do as you say when the time comes, but now it's time to go to the mine and mine for qinggang stone."
Xu Chunniang threw a quarrying chisel to Xiaobai and walked towards the nearest stone mine with Xiaobai.
The residence she chose was far away from the stone mine. It took less than an hour's walk to reach the mine.
When they were still some distance away from the mine, the two heard a clanging sound coming from the quarry.
It seems that there are quite a few people quarrying here.
Outside the stone mine, a female fairy saw the two unfamiliar faces of Xu Chunniang and Xiaobai and greeted them warmly.
"Are you two looking to mine Qinggang stone? I have some already mined Qinggang stone here. It's affordable and of good quality. It can be cut and delivered to your door for free. Would you like to take a look..."
Halfway through her words, she noticed the chisel in Xiaobai's hand and was suddenly speechless.
How could someone who spends money to buy a quarrying chisel purchase the qinggang stone from someone else
However, Xu Chunniang didn't mind that she only said half of her words and looked at her for a second longer.
"How much is Qinggang stone?"
The fairy looked at her hesitantly and said subconsciously.
"The fee is based on weight. For every thousand jin of Qinggang stone, we only charge one immortal crystal. For orders over ten immortal crystals, we deliver it to your door for free. If it is cut, there will be an additional charge..."
"Thank you very much."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly and had a general idea in her mind.
Qinggang stone is very heavy. A piece of Qinggang stone the size of a head weighs about 100 kilograms.
Ten pieces of Qinggang stone of this size are only sold for one fairy crystal. It seems that this Qinggang stone is not worth much.
If you buy a lot, you can have them delivered to your home for free. This may be attractive to some people who don’t have storage magic devices.
Moreover, as soon as the fairy saw her and Xiaobai, she rushed forward to sell the goods, and did not even notice the chisel in Xiaobai's hand.
From this we can see that the business of mining and selling Qinggang stone is really not doing well.
Come to think of it, most of the people living in Zhangwei Mountain are immortals with limited wealth. How many of them are willing to spend money to buy Qinggang stone
It seems that her method of collecting and selling Qinggang stone to earn fairy crystals will not work.
Xu Chunniang was not discouraged by the fact that she couldn't make money by mining Qinggang stone. This was her idea in the first place. There were many other ways to earn fairy crystals, not just this one.
After the fairy finished speaking, she realized belatedly that the other party might also want to earn fairy crystals by mining Qinggang stone, and she looked at Xu Chunniang warily.
"You're not going to buy my Qinggang stone, so why are you asking these questions? Are you trying to steal our business?"
"Don't worry, fairy. I have no such intention."
After hearing what Xu Chunniang said, the fairy's complexion improved slightly.
“That’s more like it. Although this quarry belongs to Zhangwei Mountain and anyone can mine it, we have been doing business here for more than a hundred years. If others want to buy, they will only buy from us!
Even if you mine a lot of Qinggang stone, you will definitely end up with a lot of it!"
Xu Chunniang smiled indifferently and did not bother with the fairy. She took Xiaobai into the mine.
The mine was very large, with more than a dozen tunnels inside. Xu Chunniang carefully distinguished the sounds coming from deep in the mine and chose a long and narrow tunnel.
We went deeper into the mine tunnel, passing through several forks in the middle. After walking for a quarter of an hour, large and small cycads gradually appeared on the surrounding stone walls.
However, these Qinggang stones are defective products left over after being mined. Some of them have cracks on the stone or are too small, so they are not worth much.
Xu Chunniang and Xiaobai continued to move forward and found a mine cave at the end of one of the mine tunnels.
There are some traces of mining in this mine, and there are still many complete qinggang stones that have not been fully mined.
“Let’s mine here.”
Xu Chunniang took out the chisel and started working with Xiaobai.
She held the chisel and dug it into the stone wall. She chiseled a circle along the cypress stone and finally mined a complete piece of cypress stone.
With a quarrying chisel, mining cypress stone becomes much more convenient and labor-saving.
Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort to mine these heavy and hard qinggang stones.
