The reason why pine cones have the effect of immortality is actually a matter of course. When celebrating the birthday of the elderly, they are often described as pine, such as Songhe prolonging the year. This is not without origin.
The fruits of the innate spiritual roots actually contain a lot of spiritual energy, even gourd seeds are the same, but Xin Yun intends to refine them into magic weapons, so they cannot be taken out.
While thinking about it, Xin Yun nodded fiercely and said: "Okay, let's change it... I just don't know how much Yimu spiritual energy you need to change this pine cone?"
Facing Xin Yun's question, the old pine was silent for a while, and then said: "Since you understand everything, you should understand that it takes ten thousand years for a pine cone to bear fruit, and it is extremely precious, so... Unless the Yimu aura you provided is more effective to me than pine cones, otherwise, I will not change it anyway."
Hearing Lao Song's words, Xin Yun nodded clearly, this pine cone is a treasure, not only useful for them to eat, but also useful for Lao Song himself, just like Immortal Zhenyuan can also eat ginseng fruit.
Since you want to exchange, you have to show sincerity. If the exchanged item is not as valuable as the original item, then the fool will exchange it with you.
While thinking about it, Xin Yun said anxiously: "Tell me, how much Yimu spiritual energy is needed to exchange for a pine cone."
Faced with Xin Yun's questioning, Lao Song was silent for a while, and after finishing the calculation, he said, "Taking the Yimu Jingqi just now as a unit, ten units of Yimu Jingqi are needed to exchange for a pine cone."
"Hiss..." Hearing Lao Song's words, Xin Yun couldn't help but gasped, it was a bit too scary, the Yimu spiritual energy released just now was accumulated by Lu'er over half a year of alchemy.
The so-called Yimu spiritual energy is actually the pill energy that floats out during alchemy. It is not very useful and is usually blown away with the wind, but for this old Song, everything is quite different. The effect is definitely better than that of pine cones. Under the same ratio, Otoki Reiki is the best.
Originally, the Otoki Spiritual Energy Scattering Soul Gourd was also needed, but Xin Yun had already planned to refine the red gourd into a magic weapon, and the method of upgrading had changed because of this. The Otoki Spiritual Energy was basically useless, although it was beneficial to keep it, but it had no effect. It's not that big, it's negligible.
Now, this old pine wants to exchange pine cones for Yimu aura, which is equivalent to exchanging treasures for Xin Yun's useless garbage. Although the amount of exchange is a bit large, what they give is absolutely equivalent, even super value!
After careful calculation, Xin Yun roughly calculated that these Yimu spiritual energy, accumulated in six months, if ten times that, would be sixty months, close to six years! Although it has been a little longer, the pine cones are treasures that bloom once every three thousand years and bear fruit once every three thousand years! In comparison, these six years are nothing.
However, since it is a transaction, there is room for bargaining. After thinking for a while, Xin Yun's heart moved, and then he said: "You wait here for a while, I will be right back!"
While speaking, Xin Yun opened the Taiji Diagram, and when the golden bridge passed by, Xin Yun disappeared on the golden bridge instantly. At the same time, Xin Yun appeared in the fairyland in the pot. The spring water ran over.
As I said before, the main vein of Hu Zhongtian is expressed in the form of spring water, and a stream of spring water jetting out hundreds of meters high is actually the outlet of the earth vein.
Running to the spring, Xin Yun quickly picked up a large jar, then turned around and ran back to Jinqiao, don't underestimate the jar of spring water, it is the sunflower elite extending from the bottom of the sea, and there is a lot of spiritual energy condensed in it.
Soon, after passing the golden bridge, Xin Yun returned to Shoushan Cave, ran to Lao Song with the pot in his arms, and poured all the water in the pot. There was not much water in the pot, and once it touched the ground, it permeated instantly. go down.
"Ah!" At the beginning, Lao Song still had doubts on his face, but as the pot of water was poured in, Lao Song's wrinkled old face instantly became extremely surprised, this... what kind of water is this! What a strong water spirit!
Faced with Lao Song's surprised question, Xin Yun secretly laughed, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the water, I just ask if you need it! Do you like it?"
Faced with Xin Yun's question, Lao Song said eagerly, "Of course I need it, and of course I like it. There's no tree that doesn't like water, let alone water with such abundant aura. This is simply the sweetest spring water!"
Seeing Lao Song's satisfied expression, Xin Yun smiled and said, "Okay then, tell me, if I use this kind of water and add Otoki's spiritual energy, how much will it cost to exchange a pine cone!"
"This..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, the old pine couldn't help hesitating for a long time... The old pine said decisively: "Our pine trees don't need too much water. If there is too much water, the roots will rot, so... every day I just Ten cans of water like this are enough, if you are willing to provide it for a long time, I am willing to reduce the consumption of Yimu aura by 10% every year of supply!"
Hearing Lao Song's words, Xin Yun made some calculations. Obviously... Although this spiritual water is good, to Lao Song, it is just equivalent to a delicious snack. He can live without water. Not much, how much spiritual energy can be contained in ten cans of water
After all, Lao Song is a wood-positive creature, so he can’t have too much water, which limits his demand for water, so... he can only consume at most ten cans of water a day, so he can take care of his family by cutting half of Otoki’s aura. up.
While thinking about it, Xin Yun said decisively: "How about this, we will provide you with spiritual water for three years, and give you six parts of Yimu spiritual energy, and you give us a pine cone, how about it?"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Lao Song hesitated for a while, but quickly agreed. To be honest, Lao Song really lost money, and it was a big loss, but considering that both of them are neighbors, and There are so many things he needs to trouble Xin Yun and others in the future, so he can only agree.
After thinking about it, Lao Song said decisively: "Okay, as long as you suppress the fire eye inside, and then promise to give me six copies of Yimu spiritual energy in the next three years, and give me ten cans of spiritual water every day, I will give you a pine nut." !"
Hearing Lao Song's words, Xin Yun readily agreed. In order to get the pine cones as soon as possible, Xin Yun did not dare to neglect. Since the entrance of the cave has been sealed off, the next thing to do is to look around Huoyan.
In the center of Shoushan Cave is a ring-shaped mountain range with a diameter of ten kilometers. In the middle of the ring-shaped mountain range is a huge fire hole with a diameter of more than ten meters. A tongue of fire several hundred meters high roars out, accompanied by the jet of flames. The surrounding craters are constantly condensing.
In fact, the surrounding craters are formed by the condensation of countless red copper. No matter how much red copper is mined, new red copper will soon condense again, and it will never be mined.
However, the problem now is how to suppress the fire hole. If it cannot be suppressed, the surrounding temperature is too high to be mined at all.
"Ah!" While Xin Yun and the others were watching from a distance, amidst a clear exclamation, a green light flashed at the mouth of the red gourd, and Lu'er's figure jumped out instantly, her feet lightly stepped on the red gourd, eyes full of excitement He looked towards the fiery eyes.
The next moment... without waiting for Xin Yun's order, Lu'er stretched out her hand and pointed to a tactic. In an instant... the red gourd plug flew out instantly. With Lu'er's control, the red gourd produced a huge suction force , went straight to the flame.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a cyclone appeared at the mouth of the red gourd, pulling the tongue of flame hundreds of meters high in an instant, and roaring into the red gourd.
While crazily devouring the purple fire in the center of the earth, the red gourd slowly approached the fire eye. About a minute later, the red gourd hung high above the fire eye, and the purple fire in the center of the earth spewed out by the fire eye directly shot into it. Disappeared in the red gourd.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xin Yun couldn't help being dumbfounded, he didn't know what Lu'er was doing at all, just when he was wondering, Lu'er said loudly: "Quick! Release the seal of heaven and earth, and suppress the fire first!"
Hearing Lu'er's words, how could Xin Yun dare to be negligent, although she didn't know what she was going to do for the time being, but after being in contact with her for so long, this girl knew Xin Yun better than Xin Yun himself, especially the various magic weapons on his body , is well known.
With his right hand, the seal of heaven and earth roared out, and Ling Kongzhang pressed towards the fire eye. As soon as the seal of heaven and earth was shot, Xin Yun suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although the seal of heaven and earth can be enlarged now, it can be enlarged at most. With the size of a human head, how could it be possible to block this crater with a diameter of more than ten meters!
While in doubt, Lu'er shouted eagerly: "Quick! Release the Chaos Cauldron, press down on the fire, and then put the seal of heaven and earth on the Chaos Cauldron, so that it can be refined automatically with the help of the purple fire in the center of the earth!"
Hearing Lu'er's words, Xin Yun was taken aback for a moment, then ecstatically, without further ado, he directly sacrificed the Chaos Cauldron, this guy can be enlarged, and the Chaos Cauldron that has been restored to 20% can be enlarged to a diameter of ten meters, covering The crater fits perfectly! If the blazing eyes were bigger, they wouldn't be able to cover them.
Following Xin Yun's movements, a four-legged square tripod with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared directly above Huoyan out of thin air.
Afterwards, with a wave of Xin Yun's right hand, he directly hung the seal of that day above the mouth of the tripod. Seeing this scene, Lu'er suddenly stopped the action of extracting the purple fire from the center of the earth. The next moment... the raging and violent center of the earth Zihuo rushed out again.
"Hu Chi..." In the violent sound, the purple fire from the center of the earth violently impacted on the belly of the chaotic cauldron, and the violent flames snaked up along the belly of the cauldron, trying to rush out from around the cauldron.
Seeing this scene, Xin Yun laughed, pinched the seal, and in an instant...nine fire inlets were opened around the chaotic cauldron, and the flames that had bypassed the belly of the cauldron were sucked in instantly. Jump to the sky above the Chaos Cauldron!
Under the violent impact of the flames in the center of the earth, the Chaos Cauldron gained power, and it operated automatically without the need for human control. Purple flames shot out from the cauldron's mouth, continuously refining the heaven and earth seal floating above it!
Being sacrificed by the chaotic purple fire, the heaven and earth seal felt the breath of chaos, and radiated light one after another fiercely. The next moment... the nine jade dragons entangled in the seal body broke away from the seal body and circled around the chaotic cauldron.
Seeing this scene, Xin Yun was overjoyed, and waved his right hand again, the Chaos Cauldron suddenly moved in three directions, protruding three long strip-shaped inlets, as long as the mined red copper was thrown in, it would naturally be sucked in Refined in the chaotic cauldron, after returning to the innate nature, it spewed out from the mouth of the cauldron, and the nine jade dragons on it would naturally swallow them one by one, refining them into the seal of the heaven and earth seal.
As the fire hole was blocked, the excess flame was sucked in by the Chaos Cauldron again, and the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and the surrounding red crater mountain range gradually cooled down, but even if it cooled, the crater mountain still remained. It is crimson, that is the mountain range condensed by red copper.
But the next thing is not so easy to handle. Although the conditions for mining are already met, the question now is, who should be in charge of mining
Hire miners from outside? This is definitely not possible. First of all, it is a matter of loyalty. This is the existence of secrets, which must not be leaked. You can't arrest them and not let them go back, right? Xin Yun still doesn't want to do such a thing, Longmen is definitely not a dragon clan!
Moreover, in order to mine such a large copper mountain, the manpower required is too great, at least tens of thousands of people are needed, and if the fastest speed is to be achieved, at least one hundred thousand people are needed. , Food, housing, use, all kinds of expenses are simply too expensive.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a solution. In desperation, Xin Yun had no choice but to ask everyone for help. The so-called three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. There is no way for one person, but if you mobilize everyone to think about it, you will be sure. Will figure it out.
Faced with Xin Yun's problem, everyone fell into deep thought, but after thinking for a long time, they still couldn't figure it out. Since mining is to be done, people must be needed. Since people are needed, people must be fed, clothed, sheltered, and used. This is basically unsolvable.
After a long silence, finally... Yan Qingyue said in a low voice: "Maybe, I have a solution, but I haven't figured out whether this solution is feasible or not."
"En?" Hearing Yan Qingying's words, Xin Yun couldn't help being puzzled, she actually has a way!
Under Xin Yun's watchful eyes, Yan Qingying reached out with her right hand and grabbed a Dutian Pluto flag, and said in a deep voice: "This is a Dutian Pluto flag, this flag is very strange, every time I use this Dutian Pluto Banner kills a master above the Amethyst rank, and one silver skeleton can be bred among them. Every time a diamond rank master is killed, ten silver skeletons can be bred. Now there are thirteen silver skeletons accumulated here Already!"
While speaking, Yan Qingying waved her big hand, and when the black flag was fluttering, thirteen silver light clusters floated out from the black flag and landed on the ground. Where the light fell, thirteen skeletons with light silver bones emerged from the ground one after another. climbed up.
This silver skull is not really silver, his bones are still white, but outside the bones are covered with a layer of silver crystal-like substance, so it looks like a silver skeleton.
While observing, Yan Qingying continued: "These silver skeletons have the strength of one star silver, they don't need to eat, sleep, and don't know how to be tired, they can work endlessly!"
"Wow!" Hearing Yan Qingying's words, Yi Luoxiang's eyes lit up excitedly, and she exclaimed in surprise. Obviously... from these skeletons, this girl must have thought of many ways to use it. From now on, This girl has mastered a large amount of resources again, she doesn't need to eat, she doesn't need to sleep, a skeleton who will never know fatigue, this is really...
While thinking, Mingxuan frowned and said: "The silver skulls are really good, but the number is too small, there are only thirteen in total, and the number of people we need is hundreds of thousands!"
Faced with Mingxuan's question, Yan Qingying smiled calmly and said, "Of course it won't happen now, but as long as we use the Tianmingwang Banner to kill some enemies more, won't we be able to accumulate enough?"
"Hiss..." Hearing Yan Qingying's words, Mingxuan and Yi Luoxiang gasped at the same time, one hundred thousand silver skulls, what does that represent? That means that there will be 100,000 Amethyst-rank masters, or 10,000 Diamond-rank masters will die under the banner of Tianming King!
However, for such a cruel and cruel thing, Yan Qingying said it so plainly and calmly, it really deserves to be cultivated by the Demon Dragon Clan, who completely disregards life and is so cruel.
Among all the people, only Xin Yun and Luo Fu did not change their colors. Xin Yun had known Yan Qingying's style for a long time, while Luo Fu appreciated it. thing guy.
While thinking, Yan Qingying's heart moved, and she said with a smile: "Okay, the flesh and energy of the twelve guys killed just now have been absorbed and transformed, and now there are twelve more silver-rank skeletons!"
While speaking, Yan Qingying waved the black flag again, and the next moment... twelve silver light clusters floated out quickly and landed on the ground one by one, and soon... twelve brand new silver skulls slowly stood up from the ground stand up.
Looking at the purple skeleton, Xin Yun couldn't help but sighed, shook his head and said: "The idea is really good, but unfortunately it is very difficult to realize now, although I don't mind killing a few more people, but this Xuanming White Bones Banner is in the process of repairing two In the case of layers, you can only recruit up to 99 silver skeletons."
"Ah!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yan Qingying couldn't help but exclaimed, both surprised and disappointed, obviously... Although she had refined this magic weapon, she didn't know much about it.
With a slight smile, Xin Yun continued: "In the case of repairing the first floor, the Xuanming White Bone Banner can recruit 9 bronze-rank skeletons, and in the case of repairing the second floor, it can recruit 99 silver-rank skeletons. Yes, there are 999 gold-rank skeletons on the third floor, and 9999 crystal-rank skeletons on the fourth floor. Every time a floor is repaired, the number of skeletons that can be condensed increases by one level, and the number increases by ten times!"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yan Qingying couldn't help being disappointed for a while, but she quickly recovered. In fact, the Xuanming White Bone Banner is definitely not weak anymore. Once it is completely repaired, this flag alone will be enough. You can be invincible and the world, but... it is really difficult to restore it now.
While thinking about it, Xin Yun hurriedly searched. After Xin Yun's investigation, he was surprised to learn that it only takes a little time to repair the third floor. How could it be so fast! How is this going!
After a little thought, Xin Yun quickly got the answer, the first floor is really difficult to repair, even if it is stolen, it will take a long time, but... this time, in fact, most of it was spent on the road .
But now, the second layer of Taiji Diagram has been opened, and it is already possible to travel long distances. The five brothers take turns to use it, and a million miles is only a short time. Therefore... since Taiji Diagram After repairing two floors, the efficiency of the five brothers increased by more than ten times.
Now that the efficiency has been improved, the five brothers steal even faster. Sometimes they even visit three or four warehouses a day to wipe out all the hardware inside. Now, silver, copper, iron, and tin have all met the requirements for repairing the third floor. Yes, it's just that there is still a big gap in gold, after all... gold is the most scarce of the five metals.
As long as it is repaired to the third floor, 999 gold-rank skeletons can be recruited. What Xin Yun wants to know is how efficient is the mining of silver-rank skeletons. If possible, it may really be the solution!
Looking at the 25 silver skeletons, Xin Yun looked forward to Yan Qingliang and said, "Okay, now you order them to mine red copper, I want to see how efficient they are!"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yan Qingyao nodded, and with a wave of the flag, twenty-five silver skeletons moved instantly, one by one extremely flexible and extremely fast, rushing to the side of the ring-shaped red copper mountain with a roar .
Under everyone's gaze, 25 silver skeletons stretched out their right hands at the same time. With the silver light shining, a pair of silver mining shovels stretched out from their bone hands, and then... 25 skeletons waved the mining picks, clanging It started mining loudly.
"Ding dong... ding dong... ding dong..." Amidst the crisp sound, pieces of red copper ore were quickly mined, and then... those skeletons picked up pieces of red copper the size of their heads, and quickly ran to the feeding chamber of the Chaos Cauldron mouth, and threw the red copper ore into it.
With the red copper ore thrown in, the Chaos Cauldron roared violently, and soon... Nine pieces of crimson, fist-sized Innate Spirit Copper were thrown out from the direction of the cauldron's mouth. The nine jade dragons swooped down, opened their mouths one after another, and swallowed it in one gulp. At the same time, the heaven and earth seal suddenly shone with blue light.
"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, Xin Yun couldn't help screaming, these silver skeletons are really too strong, the hardness of this red copper is very terrifying, but under the mining of these skeletons, only a dozen You can buckle a piece with just one click, this speed!
While thinking about it, Yi Luoxiang turned her head excitedly, looked at Yan Qingying and said, "These little skeletons are so strong, they even have the strength of the silver rank! If these little guys are taken out, they will also be a huge force! "
Hearing Yi Luoxiang's words, Yan Qingyao frowned, shook her head and said: "No, although these silver skeletons have the strength of the silver level, but if they are taken out, the combat power is restricted by the body and is very weak."
Speaking of this, Yan Qingying paused for a moment, and then continued: "Although these silver skeletons are also of the strength of the silver rank, if they are up against ordinary silver rank dragonriders, a dragonrider of the same rank can easily slaughter hundreds of millions of dragonriders." skeleton."
"En..." Nodding helplessly, Xin Yun smiled wryly and said, "That's right, although the energy exerted by these silver skeletons is also at the silver level, but their bodies are half-dragon and half-human bones, although the quality of the energy released is not Low, but the amount is too small, and they can’t fly, and the defense is weak, and a dragon’s breath can wipe out thousands of people, which is useless in actual combat.”
"No, no, no..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luoxiang shook her head and said, "Didn't you say that the biggest characteristic of these skeletons is that they are immortal, even if they are broken up, as long as they wave the white bone flag of Xuanming, they can be killed again." Instant resurrection can be said to kill and kill, and...their attacks are silver-level after all, and can hurt opponents of the same level. If the number is large enough, bone sea tactics can definitely wipe out any master of the same level!"
"This..." Hearing Yi Luoxiang's words, Xin Yun and Yan Qingying's eyes lit up at the same time, yes... Although these skeletons are a little weaker, their attack and defense are all silver-level, but the amount is a little smaller. The defense is easy to defeat. Although the strength of the attack is good, the amount is too small.
For example, if a dragon's breath can blow up a hill, a single blow from a skeleton can only blow up a stone the size of a person. Although the substances that can be blasted are the same, the destructive power is too different , This is actually the difference between humans and dragons.
While thinking about it, Yi Luoxiang continued excitedly: "Besides, didn't you just repair the two floors? It won't be long before the third floor can be repaired. By then, the number of skeletons will increase tenfold. There are thousands of them, as long as the problem of flying can be solved, this is absolutely terrifying!"
"Hehe..." Looking at Yi Luoxiang with a smile, Xin Yun said, "Well... Maybe you are right, but for me, the biggest role of these skeletons is to help me mine these red copper, and I don't need them at all. Help me fight, as long as enough red copper can be mined, hehe...then the future will be terrible!"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luoxiang smiled and said: "Of course, but... After all, these are the resources we have in our hands. They are usually used for mining. If necessary, they can be pulled out and used. Even if we deal with them It cannot be used against opponents of the same level, but if it is used to deal with stragglers of a lower level, this is irreplaceable!"
"Hiss..." Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked at Yi Luoxiang in amazement, this girl's head is so easy to use, she thought so far!
That's right, as far as Longmen is concerned, there is no shortage of master levels, but the low-end is extremely scarce. Those eight or nine-year-old children will take a long time to grow up. Before that... once they encounter group battles, Then Longmen is in trouble.
Once all the masters are entangled, those stragglers are mediocre in strength, but it is very terrifying to cause damage. Now that we have these skeletons, as long as we continue to strengthen them, it is really suitable to use them to deal with those stragglers in the future. But that's all.
For a moment, the entire space was silent, and everyone looked at Yi Luoxiang in admiration. With the increase of things she came into contact with, her wisdom gradually revealed. Anytime, anywhere, she could associate everything with Longmen. After construction, she can definitely use all resources to the limit once she needs it!
In the silence, only the twenty-five silver skeletons were still busy, constantly mining the red spiritual copper, and constantly throwing the mined spiritual copper into the mouth.
"This..." At this moment, a deep voice sounded. Hearing this voice, everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked over. What they saw was that old pine appeared not far behind him at some point .
Seeing Lao Song, everyone remembered the agreement just now, and Xin Yun jumped over immediately, facing the oncoming Xin Yun, Lao Song didn't say much, just opened his mouth, exuding colorful light The pine cone floated out of his mouth and jumped towards Xin Yun.
Reaching out in the sky, Xin Yun grabbed the huge colorful pine cone, which was the size of a human head. At the same time, the old pine said: "There are five pine nuts in a pine cone, and each of you happens to have one. Be careful at all times, find a safe, secluded corner, so as not to be disturbed."
Excitedly looking at the colorful pine cones in his hand, Xin Yun nodded and said: "Well, no problem... From tomorrow onwards, I will send someone to help you deliver ten barrels of spiritual springs every day. As for Yimu spiritual energy, it will be delivered once a month. ,what do you think?"
Smiling and nodding, Lao Song said with satisfaction: "Well, yes... I'm usually at the original entrance, if you want to find me, go there!" While talking, Lao Song gradually sank to the ground, Disappear.
Looking at the pine cone in his hand, Xin Yun sent out a burst of energy, and in an instant... the pine cone slowly spread out, revealing five pine nuts the size of an adult's palm inside!
Red, yellow, blue, green, purple... There are five colors in total, exuding a refreshing fragrance, taking a deep breath, Xin Yun directly picked up the blue pine nut, and then said to everyone: " Well, here are four more pine nuts, each of us happens to have one!"
Facing Xin Yun's gift, no one was polite to him, and there was no need to be polite. Although he was extremely grateful in his heart, everyone chose the fruit they wanted with a smile on their faces.
Among them, Yi Luoxiang wanted purple pine nuts, Yan Qingyang wanted yellow pine nuts, Mingxuan wanted green pine nuts, and Luo Fu had no choice but to use red ones.
After each received the pine nuts, everyone opened the Taiji diagram one after another, returned to Huzhongtian, and entered the secret room to retreat to absorb the energy contained in the pine nuts.
Entering the secret room, Xin Yun gently pinched the shell of the pine nuts, and suddenly... a fragrance of pine wood mixed with aura burst out. Smelling this indescribable fragrance, Xin Yun was almost intoxicated...
