Chapter 10 Secret City

In fact, spiritual dissipation is only a small part of the reason. The spirituality of stone monsters is difficult to gather and disappear.

The real reason is that all the essence of the largest piece of jade has been sucked away due to the condensed stone coat, and it is impossible to refine soft fragrant jade at all. If the largest piece is removed, the rest are small ones. There will be more loss, so the number of Ruanxiangyu will inevitably decrease.

"That's not bad. One side is five thousand dollars, and four sides are twenty thousand." Wei Tian rubbed his hands together and said, "Now my puppet is invincible!"

He laughed and began to fantasize about the scene where he took the puppets and swept around.

Tang Jie said unhappily: "You still want to use all of it? This side is five thousand! You only make a third-rank puppet in total, half of it is too much. I keep the rest, I have other uses."

Wei Tian was in a hurry: "Why just give me half a yuan, at least give me a whole square. At worst, I'll just count the money for you."

Tang Jie said: "It's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you, it's just that Ruanxiangyu is a high-grade spiritual material, even puppets of seventh and eighth rank can be used, it's too wasteful to put it on a third-rank puppet, it's better to save some for future use. And Soft Fragrant Jade itself is soft, using too much will only reduce the puppet's own firmness."

"Alright then." Hearing what Tang Jie said, Wei Tianchong could only agree.

Shi Meng came up and said, "What about me?"

Seeing his calm face, Tang Jie also smiled: "How is the secret method of turning three corpses that Luo Yue taught you?"

"The secret method is too difficult to practice, and this method hurts the body and has little effect. I don't like it."

"I'll give you half of it too, but you have to practice the secret method of turning three corpses. I need you to do me a favor in a few days."

"What help?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

While speaking, the three of them had already put away all the jade stones, and then they left Xiema Lake and returned to the Ayi people.

Because of the previous reasons, the Ayi tribe now respects Tang Jie and the three, and some Ayi tribe even offered gifts to show their friendship. Tang Jie and the others were not polite, they didn't rob themselves, but they didn't push it away if there were benefits. Relying on offerings, everyone made a small fortune before going to Shouwangchuan, and their money was much more generous.

Then everyone set off to Shouwangchuan together.

The convoy traveled all the way west, and not long after passing Xiema Lake, they saw a small town, which was Wangchuan Town.

Beyond Wangchuan Town is Geda Mountain, which is the origin of the Zijin vein.

Geda Mountain was originally a barren area, so barren that even trees did not grow, only the mountain was full of soil bags, so it got its name. Until the discovery of a purple gold vein later, Geda Mountain has been bustling since then. With the arrival of a large number of miners, Wangchuan Village, which was originally an ordinary village, developed and became Wangchuan Town.

The discovery of the Zijin vein brought wealth to this land, but also bloodshed and fighting.

The area around Mount Geda was originally the land of Xiao Yuanzong, a small sect in Li State, and it did not belong to Qijue Sect. After all, although the six major sects rule the world from a distance, they cannot leave those small sects without a place to stand. In fact, they only occupy the best few resource producing areas, and most of them are distributed to the small sects, and then the small and medium schools School management, pay tribute every year.

Envious of the rich output of the purple gold veins, and hindered by the rules set by the six major sects themselves, the Qijue sect secretly encouraged other sects to attack Xiao Yuanzong and plunder the wealth, and staged one after another human killings here. In the end, Xiao Yuanzong couldn't resist the huge pressure, and was forced to express his feelings to Qijuemen, willing to hand over the mine veins to Qijuemen, and only take half of the income every year.

For this half of the income, Xiao Yuanzong had to send someone to supervise it every year. Perhaps because of this, Xiao Yuanzong's lax supervision would cause a certain amount of purple gold to flow out every year.

This is also something that Dapai often does. Many things that are not visible to the public are not convenient for you to do, so let others do it.

For example, Tian Miezong played this kind of role, otherwise, how could the Xiyue Sect tolerate them until now.

When the convoy came to the town, because it was the time of the big market, there was a lot of traffic and it was quite lively.

But Tang Jie and the others don't care about this, there won't be what Tang Jie and the others want in the open market, only the secret market can get Zijin.

And if you want to participate in the secret city, you still have to fall on the caravan in the end.

When he arrived, Tang Jie had already greeted several caravan stewards of the Ayi tribe, and learned that the secret market would not open until evening. So don't be in a hurry, just wander around the town during the day, and find a place to refine jade stones by the way.

According to Tang Jie, selling the raw stone directly is actually better than refining, after all, the biggest piece can't be refined. However, considering that he was borrowing the identity of the Ayi tribe to participate in the secret city, cheating people like this will only bring trouble to the Ayi tribe, so it is all right after all.

Refining rough stones is not complicated, it belongs to material refining in the Dao of Artifacts. Tang Jie spent three years in the gold forging platform, and he only picked up materials if he had nothing else to do, so refining rough stones is a piece of cake for him.

Two hours later, all the jade stones were refined, and dozens of pieces of soft fragrant jade of different sizes were obtained. Tang Jie estimated that it was about 4.2 square meters.

The color of Ruanxiang jade is still white, and it looks soft, not like jade, but more like white clay, unlike other materials that need to be refined by fire, just put together, and it can be fused by itself.

This kind of thing is absorbent to jade, so it cannot be stored in a jade box, but can only be placed in a metal box. This is also its biggest shortcoming, that is, it only absorbs stones. Therefore, although it has a strong recovery ability, its defense ability is relatively low, and it is only suitable for stone-based puppets.

Of course, if it wasn't for this, its value would be more than five thousand.

Wei Tianchong's puppet this time is mainly made of obsidian. Obsidian is a tougher stone than purple sand, its hardness is comparable to gold and iron, but it is lighter in weight, which means stronger defense and less consumption, but its psychic ability is worse than purple sand.

The result of poor psychic ability is that it is difficult to exert the power of forming formations, and at the same time, the requirements for the driver are also higher.

But these two shortcomings are not a problem for Tang Jie and Wei Tianchong. The former has Tang Jie, Tang Jie who has reached the fourth-rank formation, it can be said that there is no problem in making a third-rank battle puppet, and the latter has the black water soul sending technique, and Wei Tianchong is capable enough to control it.

After refining, Tang Jie took out half of it and gave it to Wei Tianchong. Wei Tianchong was overjoyed. As long as there is Zijin again, this third-grade puppet will be stronger than ever.

As night fell, the secret city that Tang Jiewei Tianchong had been waiting for finally arrived.

What surprised Tang Jie and the others was that the secret city was not actually in the town, but in a manor outside the town. This is the property of the Evil Jiao Gang, and the entire secret city is actually secretly controlled by the Evil Jiao Gang.

Tang Jie and the others came to the manor with several stewards of the Ayi tribe. The place was already brightly lit, and there were two burly men standing at the gate of the manor. Although they looked mighty, they were actually mortals.

However, behind the ordinary appearance, Tang Jie still felt that there were faint aura fluctuations and peeps inside.

This is also normal, the secret market is originally a place to sell contraband, and most of the contraband are actually related to cultivation resources. Tang Jie would never believe that the Poisonous Dragon Gang could open a secret market here if there were no immortal cultivators.

After entering the village, Tang Jie and others discovered that there was something utterly hidden inside. The area of ​​the manor is huge, and there are stalls everywhere. Those things that are usually not seen in the light are openly displayed at this moment, with clearly marked prices, and more people are cruising around, looking for items they like.

The Ayi tribe had something they wanted to buy, so Tang Jie and the three separated from them and wandered around the market by themselves, seeing a lot of new and interesting things along the way.

"Look at Tang Jie." Shi Meng pointed to a person who walked by not far away.

The cultivator had a yin and yang face, with the bridge of the nose as the center, the left half of his face was indigo blue, and the right half of his face was purple red, which looked rather glaring.

Tang Jie whispered: "Don't point, it's impolite. That's a casual cultivator."

On this secret market, besides the caravan, most of them are casual cultivators.

There are no sects or sects of casual cultivators, and they usually rely on the cultivation methods they don’t know where to get to grope and practice alone. If they are not careful, they will go crazy, and they will often leave various defects if they are lucky enough to survive. There are all kinds of weirdos.

There are those who have just entered the spiritual spring after half a hundred years old; there are those who are more like warriors than monks; there are those who have deformed cultivation and have a strange and terrifying appearance;

Shi Meng and the others had been in the academy for four years, and they had almost no chance to deal with casual practitioners. This was the first time they saw so many casual practitioners. Many things completely subverted their previous concepts, and they were amazed for a while.

Wei Tianchong saw a cultivator from a distance, pointed and said, "Tang Jie, look, a toad is coming!"

Looking along Wei Tianchong's fingers, he saw a short and fat man coming from a distance, his face was covered with sores, he looked extremely disgusting, no wonder Wei Tianchong called out a toad.

But Wei Tianchong's voice was obviously a little louder, and the short fat man actually heard it.

At this moment, he raised his head to look at Wei Tianchong, and shouted in a low voice, "You're courting death!"

As he spoke, he pointed his hand, and a stream of green liquid rushed towards Wei Tian.

Wei Tianchong was about to resist, but Tang Jie pulled him and slammed to the side. The green liquid hit the air and fell to the ground. There was only a sound of "呲啦", and it actually eroded the hard floor with holes.

"Poisonous?" Wei Tianchong's expression changed.

Tang Jie said: "Friend Daoist, my young master spoke rudely just now, it's his fault, but it's a bit too much to use such a poisonous hand for this matter, right? For the sake of my young master's trouble first, we I don't care about you, let's just let this matter go. This is the territory of the Evil Dragon Gang, and if it really fights, it will not be good for anyone."

The short fat man was obviously worried about the power of the Evil Jiao Gang, he gave Tang Jie and Wei Tian a sharp look, and then flung his sleeves and left.

Wei Tianchong curled his lips: "What's the air!"

"Shut up." Tang Jie yelled angrily, "When you first came, you caused trouble!"

Wei Tianchong knew that he was doing something wrong, so he could only mutter: "Hey, I'm your young master after all, is there anyone who talks to you like that?"

Tang Jie ignored him and went to the stall to find what he needed.
