Chapter 842 Emperor Cangping: Assigned to Dig Chaos Mountain
……

Dagan Yong'an calendar 330 years.

A fleet traveled along the branch of the Yunxiao Tianhe [Yunxiao Ertianhe] all the way down, sailing mightily to the depths of the Zhenze domain.

It's just that in this fleet, no ship looks the same.

Some look like a beautiful palace, some look like a sharp sword, and some are spherical, shuttle-shaped...

There is no way, although the Ship Department of Shenwu Wang's Refining Directorate has mastered the technology of refining and building void ferryboats, but building any medium and large void ferryboats will consume a lot of resources and time, and The selling price is also cheap.

In addition, with the exploration of the ruins, new void boats are constantly being discovered, and the demand gap for void boats in the market is not very large. As a result, the ship department is still mainly digesting and accumulating technologies, and only a small number of them have been built. The experimental ship to confirm and develop technology.

So it is.

These "top mopping teams" naturally use whatever flying boats they find, and the replaced low-performance old boats can also be used to build a second exploration team or sell them to those second-rate exploration teams.

now.

A section of the Yunxiao Ertian River.

A third-rate team composed of several dilapidated small boats is not far from Tianhe, and is heading upstream along the Tianhe towards the [Advance Base].

Obviously, they are returning home.

The flying speed of several dilapidated small boats was very slow, and they wobbled along the way, and it was very difficult to "squeak, chirp, chirp". It can be seen that these small boats are full of "goods".

Returning to the base from this direction can not enter the Tianhe River to catch the flow, otherwise it will be pushed backwards by the energy tide of the Tianhe River.But they dare not stay too far away from Tianhe, because once they leave the range of Tianhe, there will be an endless sea of ​​darkness and void, which will make them feel completely insecure.

Therefore, the correct way to operate is to return along the "shore" curve of the Tianhe River, but there is no acceleration of the Tianhe River when returning, and the speed is about three times slower than when going back.

This small boat team is a joint exploration fleet composed of several first-rank Lingxu families. The official registered name of the team is [Sooner or later, I will pick up the artifact]. Lingyun's ambition is evident.

It's a pity that, limited by their strength, most of the time they just pick up leftovers that the top bosses disdain or can't fit, such as some star mine residues, bricks and tiles from dilapidated ruins and other building materials.Working hard all the way to demolish and transport back to the base can also earn a lot of small money.

If you're lucky, you can pick up some leaks.

But the artifact or something, I can only think about it.

When the top boss team decides to evacuate a certain ruin, generally speaking, it has already turned the ruin upside down and swept back and forth more than ten times, but all valuable resources have been licked.

However, even some building materials such as scraps, bricks and tiles are worth a lot of money in today's world of martial arts.

After all, they are antiques that have survived from the time of Xianmeng to this day. Even the bricks used to build walls are also specially refined spirit bricks. One or two pieces are indeed not as valuable as those immortal air tools, but they add up to a lot. Such a third-rate exploration team still has a lot of profits.

Right now, everyone in the "sooner or later picked up the artifact" fleet is busy step by step.

suddenly.

An heir of the Lingxu family who was in charge of the observation exclaimed: "Come and see the ancestor! The boss is traveling in a group~~~ Did you find some hidden copy?"

Hearing this, several elders in the Lingxu Realm hurriedly gathered in front of the binoculars to have a look, with expressions of amazement on their faces: "The leader is Miss Liyao's Yaoguang sword boat, it is [Ling Yun] Rise] team. Well, the one behind is the Asgard team [Holy Picture Is Not a Dream], there is also the Real Demon Palace team [Magic Cultivators There Are Good People], the Royal Family team [Good Luck], and the Royal Team of the Demon Dynasty [Wang’s Relatives] ], well, there is also Wang's Exploration Team [Sacred Light Girls Group], [Kun Shao Harem Group], [Xuanwu Invincible Group]... My God, there are big bosses here, this, this, this is going to turn the world upside down ~~!"

There is actually a reason for the names of these teams, one for the other.

Because the void sea exploration teams are free to form groups, there will naturally be many scattered groups. In order to facilitate management, each base will require these teams to register information to facilitate management.This leads to everyone needing a team name for their team.

In the beginning, everyone's team names were quite satisfactory, and the Asgard Group was called "Asgard Group", but with the explosion of a small book about void exploration in the world of Shenwu, everything changed.

This cheat sheet not only attracted a large number of passionate families to come to the Realm of Destruction to explore and make a fortune, but also caused some teams to imitate some strange names in order to take advantage of the [luck] of those teams in the cheat sheet.

What kind of dungeon, group copying, land reclamation, licking the ruins, gangster team, picking up trash, and other words are all buzzwords that have been spread because of that small copy.

"Quick, let's go back to the base a little faster, dispose of the garbage immediately, and keep up with the rhythm of the boss's team."

"It's too late! The bosses are following the current, and the speed is so fast."

"Then throw away all the garbage! Come on, let's go drink soup with the boss!"

This third-rate team was extremely excited, and immediately poured all the rubbish they had finally picked up into the void sea, and then followed behind the big brother's team.

Similar situations are naturally not limited to this one.With the passage of time, more and more second-rate and third-rate teams began to follow behind the bosses, preparing to eat some dregs.

From a distance, this scene looks like a large group of small fish followed by a group of sharks, which is extremely spectacular.

Of course, the relics in Void Sea are often very far away, and the relic of [Zhenze Sword Palace] discovered by Wang Liyao is no exception.

There are still about 30 years of voyage to go.

***
years later.

Dagan Yong'an calendar 334 years, winter.

Login.

Dingyun Shrine.

The God Emperor's exclusive study [Singshen Pavilion].

The cracks on the desk forged from the seventeenth-grade divine wood have already been repaired, but even if it is the same kind of wood, the texture of each tree is different, even if the craftsman has repaired it with great care, it is still the same if you look closely. Traces of repairs can be seen.

Behind the desk, Emperor Cangping sat on the Hunyuan Dao wooden chair passed down a million years ago, looking at Jiang Lihuo and Ji Jiuxiao with cold eyes like a sword, full of anger but didn't say a word.

He's in a bad mood right now.

What happened that day when Ji Jiuxiao and Jiang Lihuo "visited" Guiyuan Bieyuan, naturally, had already been transmitted back to Luo Jing through various channels, and he also sent people to pay attention to Ji Jiuxiao and Jiang Lihuo's whereabouts early in the morning.

But probably because Ji Jiuxiao was seriously injured, he and Jiang Lihuo walked very slowly on the way back. They traveled all the way for many years, and they didn't return to Shendu until now.

As a result, as soon as the two entered the capital, they received the order from Emperor Cangping, ordering the two to enter the palace to have an audience without any mistakes.

The two naturally did not dare to resist the order, so they had to rush into the palace.

Facing the furious eyes of Emperor Cangping, Jiang Lihuo and Ji Jiuxiao didn't dare to take a breath.

They all lowered their heads, as if they had done something wrong and stood at attention and were beaten.

Because they had just returned to Luo Jing and had been summoned before they had time to go home, both of them looked dusty.

Especially Ji Jiuxiao, her face was pale, her eyes were weak, and she looked like she was still recovering from a serious illness.

It's no wonder that he was beaten to the point of death, and his body and soul were severely injured. Naturally, he couldn't recover in just eight or nine years with just a few [-]th-rank Heaven-returning Holy Pills.

At the moment, in the Provincial Cabinet, apart from the two of them, there are also many core officials of the Shen Dynasty present.

Most of them are representatives of the ancient saints, and they are also the common sharers of the interests of the gods.

Except for Ji Guanchao, the important minister of the Ji family, and Jiang Xuanhuo, the important minister of the Jiang family, everyone looked a little unhappy, as if they were blaming Ji Jiuxiao for causing a catastrophe.

The faces of Ji's tide-watching patriarch and Jiang's Xuanhuo patriarch's complexions were not very good either, with a bit of worry in their heaviness.

At the same time, the soul projection of Ji Taichang, the patriarch of the Ji family, was invited again, and he was already standing at the front of the lower head of Emperor Cangping.

It's just that the expression on his face at the moment is darker than that of Emperor Cangping.

It's no wonder that the family had accidents one after another in a short period of time, and all of them were shameful and scandalous. How could his dignified ancestor of the Ji family be happy?
The most important thing is that in recent years, he has been busy dispatching troops to point his sword at the base camp of Demon Realm.

It was only a dozen years since Shenhuang learned that the Mieshi Grand Commander was seriously injured, and he had taken the opportunity to capture two fringe demon realms like lightning!

Now, just when he was full of vigor and high-spirited, he wanted to make great achievements in the world and leave his name in history, but he was brought back by the family's troubles.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the Provincial Cabinet was tense, and even the air seemed to freeze.

I don't know how long it took.

Emperor Cangping finally spoke.

As soon as he waved his hand, he threw a bunch of magazines in front of Ji Jiuxiao and the others: "You all read the latest issue of [Truth]. If what the other party said is not true, it is reflecting and slandering you Ji and Jiang. You decided to block that magazine."

It's no wonder that Emperor Cangping was full of anger.Apart from what Ji Jiuxiao did, recently [Truth] magazine actually suspended the serial novels praising the emperor, and reported Ji and Jiang's breaking the law from various angles.

You know, that novel was carefully selected by him from a hundred articles, and it was the one that best suited his heart. Not only did it have the most words, but the writing style was also good, and the content was also ups and downs, exciting, fully reflecting his wisdom and martial arts. .

Of course, he wasn't angry because the novel had stopped, it was the fact that the reported violations of law and discipline were too irritating.

Of course, the [Truth] magazine did a good job of giving face to the two races this time. It didn't directly name people, but used aliases and aliases.But anyone who has a little understanding of the political situation in the Dongxia Dynasty can see that the Ji family is in charge of the manufacturing and sales of military equipment, and the Jiang family is in charge of the military elixir!

"Wang Shouzhe doesn't keep his word, he promised not to spread it!"

Seeing the various reports in the magazine, Jiang Lihuo was shocked and unbelievable at first, but then became outraged.

Although the descriptions in the magazine are all kinds of embellishments and exaggerations, they are indeed based on facts. If someone hadn't leaked the news, who else would know the details of the time so clearly?
"You still blame people for not being trustworthy?" Cangping Shenhuang sneered, "What evidence do you have to prove that this is Wang Shouzhe's rumor? It is clearly written in the magazine, and the source of the news is the contribution of a mysterious reader and the intelligence of the magazine's own investigation. .”

This this……

Jiang Lihuo felt helpless and aggrieved for a while.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Seeing that the situation was not good for his family, Jiang's Xuanhuo patriarch hurriedly stepped forward tremblingly and bowed to Emperor Cangping, pleading, "Although Lihuo and Jiuxiao were at fault in this matter, But it is true that Wang Shouzhe deliberately set up a situation to provoke Jiuxiao Shengzun, which finally caused such vicious consequences. Please also, Your Majesty..."

As a result, before he finished speaking, the ancestor of the Ying family, the contemporary holy king of Tianzhu, couldn't help but jumped out, and said sarcastically: "Xuanhuo, how do you know that he did it on purpose? You don't want to change the topic here to clarify the relationship." , is Nine Heavens Holy Venerable a three-year-old child? If he has no murderous intentions, how can he be so easily provoked?"

Hearing this, the rest of the important officials also nodded one after another, echoing the words of the ancestor of the Ying family.

First of all, His Majesty's anger has already expressed his position and attitude, standing on the Ying family is standing on His Majesty.

Secondly, everyone was also envious of the Ji family's military equipment business and the Jiang family's military elixir business. They finally had this good opportunity, and they also wondered if they could take the opportunity to dig out a piece to enrich their own family.

Of course, the most important thing is that no matter which god emperor it is, it is most taboo that the family under his command is too close, so it will naturally affect the god emperor's right to speak.Therefore, they naturally dare not stand up to Ji and Jiang at this time.

Perhaps, if the Ji family or the Jiang family did this alone, His Majesty would not be so angry.

But one is in charge of military equipment, and the other is a family that monopolizes military supplies, but they use these two monopolized industries to join forces to make waves, which undoubtedly completely touched His Majesty's bottom line.

"Your Majesty, and colleagues."

At this time, Ji's tide-watching patriarch finally came out and bowed deeply to Emperor Cangping and everyone present.

His old face was tense, and his eyes were full of helplessness and tiredness. It was obvious that the successive accidents of Ji Kunlun and Ji Jiuxiao had dealt him a heavy blow.

His tone was solemn: "This matter is indisputable. It is true that Jiuxiao and Lihuo made a mistake. Our Ji family has never shielded people who made mistakes. We should be convicted and punished. However, I think Jiuxiao's soul and body It’s too weak, why don’t you let him go back and take a [Life and Death Dao Pill] first, and then punish him after saving his life.”

"Life and Death Dao Pill?" Cangping Divine Emperor sneered, "I have made great achievements in the battlefield, but because of the destruction of the projection, my soul was severely injured. I have to take a Life and Death Dao Pill every thousand years to slowly recuperate. It may be difficult to heal in 9000 years, and you will need nine pieces in total! If your Ji family has extra Life and Death Dao Pills, please give priority to supplying them to the Emperor."

At the beginning, the reason why Cangping Shenhuang made a lot of trade-offs when projecting sacrifices was because of this.

If he wants to heal after being severely injured, the price he needs to pay is too great.

"This……"

Ji Guanchao hesitated a little.

In addition to Ji Taichang's patriarch carrying two pills with him, there are also two Dao Pills of Life and Death in the family, which are very rare.

The main reason is that I don't really need this thing on weekdays, and these four coins are the foundation that generations of ancestors have accumulated over the years.

"Hehe~~ This emperor has made great contributions to the human race, so he is not worthy of using the Life and Death Dao Pill, is he? On the contrary, Ji Jiuxiao, a sinner who disregards the laws of the gods, is more important than this emperor?" Cangping Shenhuang laughed coldly.

"Your Majesty's divine body is naturally more important than a sinner." Ji Taichang's projection hastily opened his mouth to remedy, "I still have two Dao Pills of Life and Death in my hand, and I will use them for your Majesty's healing first. Later, our major families and the royal family will gather two or three furnaces For the raw materials, please ask the Taoist Lord Taichu to refine it again, and it will definitely not delay His Majesty's healing."

Hearing this, Emperor Cangping's expression eased a lot, and his tone suddenly became more polite: "Marshal Ji's heart belongs to the emperor, but Marshal Ji is now making meritorious service on the battlefield. Keep it to yourself."

He said that just now, but in fact, he just wanted to bury the Ji family. The royal family and the treasury already had a little stock, which was enough for him.

What's more, he is the Emperor of God, and he was injured on duty. Even if there is no inventory or raw materials in the treasury, he can use public funds to purchase or refine them.

"Your Majesty can speak at any time if necessary." Ji Taichang didn't dare to force it, so he could only bow slightly and then backed away.

It's just that the phrase "make meritorious service" seems to make him feel very uncomfortable again, and his face seems a little gloomy.

The stack of magazines thrown out by the Emperor just now reminded him of some not-so-good memories.

He was on the battlefield, so the news inevitably lagged behind, especially for some less important news, he often didn't know it until ten or eight years later.It's just that the serial novels praising the great achievements of Emperor Cangping were published in the truth magazine, but he didn't know it until long ago.

Ji Taichang knew that this time, he was taking advantage of His Majesty and was fighting the wind.

But it was not as bad as described in the magazine. The mysterious author was just talking nonsense, saying that with the current situation in the Void Sea Battlefield, even if you send a dog to be the generalissimo, you can win!

Also, in the magazine just now, what Wang Shouzhe said to Ji Jiuxiao at that time was also quoted. But anyway, he has guarded the border for so many years for the Dongxia people, and there is hard work without credit.

Listen, is this what people say?

Ji Taichang didn't like to quarrel very much, but after reading these contents, he still couldn't help but want to give Wang Shouzhe a slap in the face.You have the ability, you come to be the generalissimo?

At this time, Emperor Cangping looked at Jiuxiao again, and his tone was quite rude: "Speaking of which, I remember that Jiuxiao is about 6000 years old, right? At your age, there are only five thousand years left to live, in my opinion, there is really no need to waste the Dao of Life and Death Pill, it is better to just go, so as not to waste the family's food."

Even if a sage does not go up, just to maintain the blood essence and realm from falling, the consumption of a year must reach at least nearly twenty top-grade spirit stones.

In a hundred years, the resources consumed would have to reach two Chaos Spirit Stones, and in 5000 years, it would consume a full hundred Chaos Spirit Stones in food and medicine.

Such horrible consumption is also the fundamental reason why those saints are always unable to save money.

If it wasn't for the support of a huge force, or its own means of making money were strong enough, how could it be able to support such consumption?
The words of Emperor Cangping meant to kill Ji Jiuxiao~!

"Your Majesty~" Ji Jiuxiao became impatient and begged for mercy, "I know I was wrong, I can go to the battlefield to atone for my crime."

"Go to the battlefield to atone for your crimes?" The patriarch of the Ying family hooked his mouth, and sneered again, "With the current situation on the battlefield, are you going to claim credit? Your Majesty, the old minister will also go to the battlefield to make meritorious service!"

Hearing this, the rest of the important ministers also reacted, pleading for orders one after another, saying that they were going to fight their old bones on the Void Sea Battlefield!
Their attitude seems to be confirming what the mysterious author of the magazine said, "Anyone can do it"!
"That's enough~ don't bother to quarrel, this emperor has already taken care of this matter." Emperor Cangping waved his hand, "The [Chaos Mountain] near [Endless Tianyuan] in our Divine Dynasty just happened to be short of miners recently, Ji Jiuxiao and Jiang Lihuo will go to Chaos Mountain to dig Chaos Stone."

Go to Chaos Mountain in Endless Abyss to mine?
Ji Jiuxiao and Jiang Lihuo's expression changed at the same time.

Not only is that place dangerous, but it is also surrounded by various complex energy storms all the time. When digging the Chaos Mountain, you have to constantly circulate your profound energy to resist all kinds of storms. chisel grinding.

It was an extremely hard, even painful job. After staying there for a long time, every day was a torment, and every day seemed to be passing through the end.

It is true that digging Chaos Mountain is very profitable. If you are lucky, you can dig up various top refining materials, fairy stones, and there is even a very small possibility of digging out Chaos Spirit Stones, Chaos Essence and other treasures.

Moreover, the chaotic gravel produced by chiseling is also very important. It can be ground into slag and refined into [Chaos Bricks] with Shenchao's [Hunyuantian Furnace].

It is an extremely important and valuable building material.

Just like in the Shengshen Pavilion where Emperor Cangping stayed most often, the materials used for the walls and the floor are chaotic bricks, and it is very difficult for the Holy One to break them!
Some top defensive facilities, arenas, and some extremely important buildings, such as warehouses and treasure pavilions, also use Chaos Bricks.

It can be said that digging Chaos Mountain is a lucrative and profitable job.

It can be earned again, it is also a common resource belonging to the gods, and it goes directly to the treasury!
In that place, there were only a few sages who were very short of money, in order to keep their families alive, or to train particularly outstanding family heirs, when they had no other choice, they gritted their teeth and signed up to dig Chaos Mountain.

In addition, there are also some strong and poor foreign races who will go to Chaos Mountain to work for the tribe.

In order to attract more powerful people, the government of the gods will also give them a lot of rewards, not only food and shelter, but also pill consumption, so that after 1000 years of hard work, they can save an additional thirty or fifty Chaos Spirit Stones.

But even so, there are very few strong people who are willing to stay longer. Generally, they can't wait to take the money and leave immediately after digging the 1000-year-old mountain.

There is no way, this is the money spent on life and health.If you dig the mountain there for too long, it will inevitably hurt your roots and longevity over time, and people's mental state is also prone to problems.

Emperor Cangping's punishment was even crueler than sending them to the cannon fodder battalion.

Just when their faces were ashen.

Emperor Cangping sneered and continued: "Based on the mistakes you made, which caused a huge and extremely bad impact, the emperor now officially assigns the two of you to dig Chaos Mountain. Jiang Lihuo, as an accomplice, needs to dig out three worth of Ji Jiuxiao, as the main culprit, needs to dig out materials worth [-] Chaos Spirit Stones! When will the digging be completed, and when will the distribution end!"

what! ?

Jiang Lihuo and Ji Jiuxiao almost collapsed to the ground.

Especially the latter, his face was ashen ashes.

Dig out materials worth [-] chaotic spirit stones?This is killing him!

For a saint, no matter how lucky he is, it will take two to three thousand years to dig out such a valuable material. If he is unlucky, it is still a question of whether he can dig it out when his lifespan is exhausted!
What's more, even if you are lucky enough to dig up materials worth 3000 chaotic spirit stones in two or three thousand years, you will have to stay in Chaos Mountain for two or three thousand years!Can he really survive without breaking down?
