Chapter 711: Digging for Treasure in the Mine and Encountering an Acquaintance
After leaving the market, Yu Lie did not fly to other places, but stopped in the void and looked at the huge world that lay before him.

This world was frozen and motionless, filled with deathly silence. The surface was dry, with no oceans or lakes, not even air.

Yu Lie could only occasionally see a little flicker of light above, proving that although it was dead silent above, it was not a completely dead place.

This place is the mine under the command of the Lingbao Immortal Sect, and it is also the starting point and end point for many wild cultivators.

The void is silent.

After Yu Lie looked at it for a moment, he flew towards the mining world on his own without having to take the insect ship.

"I didn't expect that Zhu actually hid all his wealth in the mine. Isn't he afraid that he'll be unlucky and all the wealth will be dug up by the wild miners?"

He thought secretly in his heart, but he was also happy about it.

If the immortal Zhu buried the treasure in other areas, he would have to spend a lot of time running back and forth, and it might not even be worth it.

Not too long.

Yu Lie arrived at a node to enter the mining world. He landed on the stone steps that looked like an ascension platform and walked steadily forward.

Although anyone can freely enter and exit this mine to mine, the Lingbao Immortal Sect still arranged formations on it, set up portals, and divided the mine into several major areas.

This is done to prevent thieves from secretly digging up good stuff and keeping it all for themselves, leaving the Lingbao Immortal Sect with no share of the profits. It is also to prevent cultivators from recklessly entering the mines and ending up running into danger and losing their lives in vain.

After all, although this world is dead, its predecessor is ultimately a vast world.

The dangers in the dead world are often even greater than those in the ordinary world!
Yu Lie's current identity in the Lingbao market is that of a Dancheng cultivator. The portal he took is naturally the one most frequently visited by Dancheng cultivators. The nearest mines nearby mostly produce fifth-grade spiritual materials such as Xuanjing Iron and Lihuo Feigang.

Until Yu Lie's feet landed on the surface of this dead world, no outsiders flew over to pay attention to him. Only a group of monks with gloomy faces kept flying past him, and each of them looked quite vigilant.

Yu Lie thought about it, and then he took out a black robe from his sleeve, put it on himself, and moved his face and bones, as if he had changed his appearance.

"This mine is not a good place, it is very dangerous. If we talk about the area outside the market, murder and robbery will happen occasionally.

In this mine, such incidents occur all the time, and even fights occur from time to time.

Only in the areas of a thousand miles around the major Ascension Gates, fighting is not allowed. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed regardless of the reason!"

Yu Lie was thinking in his heart. He glanced at the stone portal floating above his head, then lowered his eyes and moved quickly through the mine.

Soon, a small market appeared in his eyes. It happened to be located on the edge of the Thousand Mile Free War Area. There were many people inside, and there were also stalls set up one after another, but there was not much noise.

One after another, the monks with strong temperaments came and went with vigilant eyes, trading the items they needed.

This is the market privately organized by the monks who are mining in the mines. Yu Lie came here with the intention of buying a few local mining maps in case the maps he found in the market are outdated.

"How many spirit stones does this map cost?"

"It's too expensive, my friend, please don't cheat me."

"Give me a copy of the latest mining area map."

He walked around for a while, and before long, he had three maps purchased from different stalls stuffed in his hands, figuring that if he pieced them together, he shouldn't be fooled.

After getting the map, Yu Lie did not immediately go to the mining area to collect treasures, but strolled in the market, looking at the goods in the market with shining eyes.

He discovered that the same item, which was priced at one spirit stone in the market, would be priced between two and five here!

From the market to the mine, just such a short distance, the prices have doubled or even quintupled.

Of course, most of the cultivators who ended up in the mines did not have any spiritual stones in their hands, but only various ores that they had dug out.

This also means that in this small market, spirit stones themselves are a very popular commodity, and people often use the ore as currency when trading.

"For such a highly profitable business, if we purchase a large amount of goods from the market and then sell them here, wouldn't it be more profitable than opening a store in the market?"

But Yu Lie calmed down and soon realized that this approach would not work.

Because the Lingbao Immortal Sect has a strict rule regarding cultivators entering and leaving the mining world, that is, it does not matter how they come in, just check them, but if they go out, the things in the cultivator's storage bag will be divided into 80 and 20!
Remember, this applies to everything in the storage bag, except for a few types of things such as magical instruments, which have a certain number of exemptions.

Therefore, when the monks come to the mining world, they usually try to only carry enough food, necessary pills and other items with them, and rarely bring spiritual stones.

If the planned time has arrived but the food, water, pills and other items in the bag have not been consumed, they often choose to stay in the mine and will not leave until the supplies are almost consumed, carrying a full bag of ore and other items.

Yu Lie pondered this and narrowed his eyes slightly: "But this move doesn't seem to work on me."

Although he had storage bags on his body, one on each sleeve, with quite a lot of space, they were all used to conceal his presence.

All the valuable things on Yu Lie's body were placed in the Purple Mansion.

And when he walked through the Gate of Ascension just now, he found that although the power of the formation had swept his entire body and his storage bag had obviously been searched, his Purple Mansion World had not been discovered.

This is normal. After all, Zifu originated from the Four-Nine Profound Arts of the Mountain and Sea Realm, which is a method that directly points to the celestial immortal. Zifu itself is the embryo of heaven and earth.

This thing may be hidden in the void, detached from the secular world, or hidden in the body of a Taoist priest. It can be big or small, and it will not be easily discovered by people.

Back then, even if the Great Celestial Venerable wanted to enter Yu Lie’s Purple Palace, the other party had to let him know in advance, and it was impossible for him to enter quietly without alarming Yu Lie.

In other words, in this mining world, Yu Lie can completely use Zifu to smuggle and resell various resources in various mining areas.

"I didn't expect to find such an unexpected discovery during this visit!"

His eyes lit up slightly, and he suddenly felt that he had discovered an opportunity to make a fortune that belonged to him alone.

Yu Lie paced in the market, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind. He pondered over and over again, and he also sold some spirit stones, herbs, pills and other items in his Purple Mansion in the market.

As he expected, the common things in the market were in short supply here. Even for the most common rice and grains, the mining monks were willing to exchange them for large amounts of ore.

They even seemed to be afraid that Yu Lie would go back on his word.

However, during the course of several transactions, Yu Lie also noticed that someone was staring at him. This made him frown slightly, and after a few attempts, he stopped making moves.

Without thinking too much, Yu Lie guessed that those who were secretly spying on him must be the people planted in the mine by the Lingbao Immortal Sect. Most of them had the purpose of providing food and water to the mining monks and taking the opportunity to exploit them.

If Yu Lie donated supplies in small quantities, it would not cause any problems and would only draw the other party's attention. But if he donated in large quantities, it would probably provoke these people to take action.

This made Yu Lie's heart chill, and he thought to himself:

"It seems that although this move is feasible, it cannot be too ostentatious. Either I mine the minerals here and smuggle them out, or I trade with the monks who mine in the wild."

After careful consideration, he decided to go to the mining area first to take Zhu's property and conduct an on-site investigation to see if it was possible to trade with the monks in the wild.

It just so happened that he had taken the wealth of the immortal named Zhu, which could be used as capital by him.

"what!"

Just as Yu Lie was about to leave the market, he glanced and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the market.

That person was a female Taoist, and it was the Silver Ring Ginseng who had come to Lingbao Market with him on the same boat.

However, this woman was quite different from when she was on the boat. Her face was gloomy and she looked a bit more fierce. She had become taciturn and no longer had the arrogant swan-like temperament she had before.

Seeing this girl, Yu Lie sighed in his heart: "It's only been two months, and she is like two different people."

Obviously, although this woman did not become a wild cultivator and was redeemed by her ancestor, her life was probably not very good.

Yu Lie took a glance and saw a figure beside the silver ring ginseng. The aura of the other person was at the immortal level, but his face was old and looked like an old farmer.

Perhaps because Yu Lie stared at the two of them for too long, the old farmer gave Yu Lie a few cold glances.

Seeing this, Yu Lie quickly withdrew his gaze.

"It seems that it is just as Old Xia said. Even if this girl has the old ancestor to rely on, her life may not be good. She may even be worse off than following him and working as a waiter in the market.

But this way, I am freer after all, since he is my ancestor. "

Yu Lie thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and put the matter out of his mind.

Afterwards, he left the market and wandered around in the wild for a few laps. After making sure that no one was following him, he followed the route remembered by the immortal named Zhu and headed straight for the treasure hiding place of this beast.

The immortal Zhu hid treasures in more than one place in the mine, and he arranged them according to the distance and difficulty.

Yu Lie found the simplest ones without much effort, but they contained only some elixirs, spirit stones, magic tools, and spirit tickets for exchange in the market.

Lingpiao, like the silver notes in ancient times in the Shanhai Realm, can be exchanged for Lingshi in a bank without a name. And the bank chosen by the immortal surnamed Zhu is the "Lingbao Bank", which is the bank opened by the Lingbao Immortal Sect.

Therefore, these spirit tickets will not be divided up when entering and leaving the mine. Not only are the spirit tickets anonymous, but the specific amount on them must be unlocked in the bank to know how many spirit stones they are equivalent to.

Yu Lie was delighted after getting some medicinal pills and spiritual tickets, and he immediately flew to a deeper mine.

The deeper you go, the more difficult it becomes to mine in the mining area. Gradually, the wild cultivators roaming in this area almost disappeared.

After all, the wild cultivators are all at the Dancheng level or below, and no one can reach the immortal level.

The mining area that Yu Lie came to at this moment was where the immortals mined. It was full of criss-crossing gullies, and there was a strong evil spirit and poisonous gas. There were even remnants of terrifying evil thoughts from the world, which was extremely dangerous.

Here, with the strength of the immortals, their way of mining is naturally different from that of ordinary cultivators. With a wave of their hands and a move, destroying thousands of miles of area and extracting the earth's marrow are all just a piece of cake.

Under the sweep of the immortal's terrifying divine sense, all the spiritual energy contained in the earth veins will be completely drained.

The reason why the man surnamed Zhu chose to bury his treasures in such mining areas was partly to avoid cultivators below the level of immortals and reduce the possibility of the treasures being discovered, and partly because this guy had mined in the mining area before and buried the treasures there.

"Is this the place? It doesn't look like..."

Yu Lie held several maps and wandered across the terrifying and hideous surface, frowning from time to time.

Finally, he waved his sleeves and cut open a thousand-foot mountain. He then followed the long-withered and extinguished lava tunnel in the mountain and continued to go a thousand feet deeper before he saw a small jade box on a rock wall.

When Yu Lie picked up the box, his frown immediately relaxed and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Fortunately, I was well prepared. I anticipated that the topography of this place would change greatly over time and might be completely unrecognizable, so I purchased several maps."

Yu Lie sighed lightly: "Otherwise, we might not be able to find this box."

He opened the jade box without hesitation.

There was nothing else in the box except a bill that looked like a spirit ticket, light and fluttering, without any inspiration at all.

But when he saw this thing, Yu Lie's brows did not frown, but instead a look of joy appeared on his face.

He touched the object and said, "Could this be the pawn ticket from Lingbao Bank?!"

Yu Lie recalled what he had seen in the market, and after checking again and again, he was sure that this thing was undoubtedly a pawn ticket.

Lingpiao was only used to exchange Lingshi in Lingbao Bank. However, pawn tickets were used to withdraw various goods placed in the bank. In addition to the ticket, a secret password was often required.

And according to the arrangements made by the immortal surnamed Zhu, the items that can be taken out from these pawn tickets must be the most valuable things, and should be immortal-level resources.

Suddenly, Yu Lie's hair stood up and his heart tightened. Without time to look at it any more, he quickly flipped his hand and put the pawn ticket and the jade box into the Purple Palace.

The next moment, boom!

A brutally powerful divine sense descended from the sky, passed through the thousand-foot crack, landed on him, and scanned his entire body.

The other party also scanned the thousand-foot mountain that was broken in front of Yu Lie to see if anything had come out from inside.

After searching to no avail, the other party's consciousness snorted in disdain:

"Another wishful fellow, actually daring to come to this area to look for minerals.

Go back, this is not the place for you!"

An immortal-level pressure was pressing down on Yu Lie, causing him to feel slightly frightened.

When Yu Lie looked up, he saw a familiar face a thousand feet above the ground. To be precise, two faces...
