Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Elder Zhong only stayed here for half a day before leaving with Zhong Shuyi.

Before leaving, he asked Zhang He for a bazooka and took it away, probably because he wanted to take it back to study imitation.

Zhang He didn't pay too much attention to this. The technical content of this thing is not high, and it can be imitated by an experienced craftsman.

This kind of rocket launcher is equipped in large quantities in his black water army, and it is too easy for others to get a few samples.

The next day, He Xiaoyu set off with 100 black water troops to join Fat Tiger on the front line.

Although Zhang He's Heishui County sub-rudder dispatched a small number of people, the quality of the two Jindans plus the small skeleton's support, as well as 140 well-equipped foundation-building monks, should be the highest among the sub-rudders.

Zhang He still stayed behind and did not go to the battle in person. There is still a lot of work to do in the newly conquered county, and he is currently unable to get away.

In addition, there were 110 remaining black water troops, who were assigned to four counties by Zhang He to take charge of daily affairs.

There are only more than 20 people in each county, which is still a bit stretched. This time, there are three more counties, which he did not expect before.

For this reason, he could only ask the Shadow Pavilion to dispatch some talents from Heishui County to participate in the management of the four newly acquired counties.

These four counties have a total of eight small spiritual veins, more than one hundred acres of spiritual fields, and four mineral veins.

The quality of these veins is much better than those in Heishui County.

There is a vein of fire obsidian 50 miles outside the city of Ningjing County. This is a kind of fire-attribute refining material, and it has a wide range of applications in the refining of fire-attribute magic weapons in the world of immortality.

However, because of the shortage of manpower, this fire obsidian mine was blown up by Jiang Weiming's spies two days ago.

After sending He Xiaoyu away today, Zhang He came to the fire obsidian mine to check and guide the work by the way.

The entrance to the mine has all collapsed, and there are a large number of miners digging there with hoes.

Seeing Zhang He coming, a Foundation Establishment cultivator in armor walked towards him.

The third brigade of the Blackwater Army, the fifth squadron, Zhu Zheng, a small soldier, meet your son.

This Foundation Establishment cultivator was the soldier he sent here to take charge of the mine.

How's the situation?

Young Master Qi, there are many collapses in the mine, and it will take a long time to fully resume mining.

It is said that more than 2,000 miners were trapped in the mine, and currently they are organizing manpower to dig channels for rescue.

Due to the small area of ​​the passage opening, the surrounding area is full of hard stones, and the exit cannot be opened in a short time.

Zhang He remembered that it had been two days since the mine was blown up, and there were many collapses in the mine. These trapped miners should be in danger.

Zhang He took a look at the unhurried miners, and when they dug the mine, it is estimated that they could only collect the corpses of the miners inside.

Zhu Zheng also only arrived half a day earlier than Zhang He, and it was considered good to be able to organize a group of people to rescue.

Saving people is like putting out a fire, sacrifice the magic weapon!

Zhang He just said a word, and he has already sacrificed a flying sword to dig the earth and rocks in front of him. The efficiency of the flying sword digging is much faster than that of a miner with a hoe, digging a sack at a time.

Seeing this, Zhu Zheng immediately took out his flying sword, and dug down the earth and rocks, one sack at a time.

It wasn't that Zhu Zheng was too stupid. He didn't know how to dig with flying swords before, but compared to the lives of two thousand miners, flying swords were too expensive.

Even if all 2,000 miners are dead, their value is at most equivalent to two spirit stones.

And a flying sword of the magic weapon level, the cheapest low-grade black iron flying sword, also costs 30 to 40 spirit stones, and the top-grade copper sword equipped by the foundation-building soldiers of the Black Water Army can be sold for 800 spirit stones in the market.

Using flying swords to dig soil and stones is also wear and tear, and it needs to be repaired to a certain extent. A hair falling from the copper sword is worth more than these two thousand miners.

Zhang He didn't say anything about Zhu Zheng's choice of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. He could only set an example and let him know that human life should not be measured by spirit stones, even the lowest miners.

In fact, the Black Water Army comes from the bottom of the civilian children.

They used to be in the same situation as these miners, but now they have become high-status foundation-builder monks, and their status and status are very different from ordinary miners, and they have forgotten the sufferings at the bottom.

The efficiency of the two manipulating the flying sword to dig the soil is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary miners.

It only took half an hour to dig away all the earth and rocks that had collapsed at the entrance, and opened the wall to create a mine entrance with a width of several tens of feet and a depth of several tens of feet.

At this time, Zhang He retracted the flying sword, even on his magic weapon flying sword, there were a few tiny scratches.

Dripping water can also wear through stones, not to mention repeatedly chopping them in soil and rocks, which will still cause a little wear and tear on the utensils.

This kind of scratches is usually not a problem, but if it is in a fierce battle, it is easy to break from the scratch.

There were also scratches on his magic weapon, and there were even more scratches on Zhu Zheng's magic weapon, and there were even two tiny gaps, which would cost at least twenty or thirty spirit stones to repair.

Help……

The exit of the mine was dug open, and a weak cry for help was heard from inside.

It was very dark inside, and the light from outside could only see a distance of a few feet inside. Zhang He scanned with his spiritual sense and found that there were only more than a hundred people in front of him, most of them were dead, and there were more than 30 people alive.

Zhu Zheng, you organize the miners outside to help rescue, and I will open the way inside.

Obey!

Zhang He didn't go far into the mine, but there was another collapsed area in front of him, blocking his passage.

Once again, he used the magic weapon flying sword to dig out the collapsed earth and rocks in front of him. With one sword digging, there was a sack of earth and rocks, which was then transported to the empty place with the flying sword.

It took about one stick of incense time for him to open a passage again, and more than 20 trapped miners were found ahead.

This vein has been mined for many years. The mine tunnels are deep and extend in all directions. Many miners are trapped in these mine tunnel branches.

Since fire obsidian is a kind of fire-type spiritual mine, there are usually fire veins underground, and Zhang He has been getting hotter and hotter along the way.

It is already difficult for ordinary people to bear this kind of heat, and they can only relieve it by pouring water into their belly continuously. Even so, the life span of these miners is very short.

Throw a lively young man into a mine, and it usually takes three to five years to reach the end of its life.

Zhang He has come to the present, and it is difficult to meet people alive again. Trapped in such a high-temperature cave without sufficient water supply, the miners here have already died of heat.

But now that he has come, Zhang He simply went inside to take a look around and inspect his property.

Due to the depth of the mine, it is already difficult for ordinary miners to bear, so there are more and more pyrites on the walls of the cave along the way.

Of course, this level of heat has no effect on the cultivator, all he needs to do is cast a protective shield outside his body with magic power.

After another mile or so, there is no road ahead, which should be the limit of ordinary miners' tolerance, and the mine will come to an end.

However, Zhang He saw that the pyrobsidian mines were more dense here, so he couldn't help being interested, and wanted to find out how many pyrobsidian mines were still ahead.

Immediately, he used the ground escaping technique to plunge into the hard and hot stone wall in front of him.

The temperature in the stone wall was even higher, and when Zhang He got into it, he felt like he was stuffing himself into the stove and roasting it like a beggar chicken.

However, he has discovered that the deeper the underground, the denser the fire obsidian, and the better the quality.

So he escaped along the direction where the fire obsidian was densely packed.

He went underground for more than ten miles, and now there are densely packed fire obsidian in front of him, and he can easily grab a handful.

Moreover, the quality of these fire obsidian is extremely high, it is already red and purple, so it is no problem to use it to refine magic weapons.

It's just that the current temperature is unbearable even for him, the defensive shield has no effect, and the heat seeps in through the shield.

If it is cooked in this way, it is enough to simmer and roast him until the bones are crispy and the meat is rotten, and then marinated with some spices, it is definitely a delicious dish.

Immediately, he could only switch the mode, sacrifice the Five Elements Mountain, and slowly rotate it above his head, the water overcomes the fire, and the cool water vapor surrounds him, which will make him feel much more comfortable.

Then he continued to dive in this piece of fire obsidian, and walked for several miles, and even his magic weapon of the Five Elements Mountain could not completely block the surrounding heat.

However, he found that the surrounding fire obsidian had turned half red and half purple, with a purple air in the red.

Zhang He took off a piece with the flying sword, held it in his hand, the skin on his hand sizzled, and a puff of burnt green smoke came out.

Spiritual consciousness penetrates into it, its texture is fine, and there are countless flame crystals in the middle.

This is definitely a good material for refining magic weapons.

After scanning around, it was all this kind of material, what a huge fortune this must be!

At that moment, he used the flying sword to slash at the surroundings repeatedly, chopping off pieces of purple-red fire obsidian, and then put them into the space.

The avatar sorted out a place in the space, put a layer of jade blocks on the ground, and then put these fire obsidian on the jade blocks.

This kind of jade block is usually used to make jade boxes and the like, the price is not expensive, and there is no need to feel bad if it is damaged.

The avatars were collecting and tidying up inside, while Zhang He was chopping and hacking outside, very busy.

Crack!

The flying sword slashed on a piece of fire obsidian, and the blade was all bent.

The magical flying sword was finally overwhelmed and melted in the high temperature.

Looking at the fate of this flying sword, Zhang He thought that fortunately the Five Elements Mountain was still reliable, otherwise he would have been scorched by now.

This place, unless you have a magic weapon like the Five Elements Mountain, you really can't get down.

Throwing the scrapped flying sword into the space, he took out another magic weapon flying sword from the storage bag, and began to chop the surrounding fire obsidian.

During this period of time, several Golden Core cultivators were beheaded, and several good magic weapon flying swords were harvested, which are now used as mining tools.

Zhang He, who was enjoying the harvest, suddenly felt empty under his feet, and then his body sank into it.

Zhang He's feet seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, sinking into it, and then he found that he had fallen into the billowing lava.

Moreover, the lava was still flowing rapidly. He seemed to be in a raging river of lava at the moment.

He tried to use the escaping technique, but it was useless in this lava river, and he had never learned lava escaping.

Trying to swim didn't seem to work. He had read countless books before, but he had never seen any experience of swimming in lava rivers.

The struggle didn't work, and he could only let the lava flow towards him, but there were too many rocks in the lava river, which often made him roll and roll in it, ups and downs.

I don't know how long it has passed, and I don't know how far I have drifted in the molten lava. Fortunately, the Five Elements Mountain has been by my side, releasing cool water vapor to protect him from time to time.

It's just that mana is needed to maintain this. The golden core in the body that surpasses the ninth rank contains far more mana than ordinary people, and 70% of it has been consumed at this moment.

Of course, he still has the last retreat, which is to retreat into the space.

But he can't hide in it for a lifetime, and he has to find a way out of it in the end.

Just when Zhang He was about to let the avatar take him into the space, he suddenly felt as if he was being hooked by something.

It feels like a branch, but in this river of lava, even magic weapons will melt, so can there still be branches?

Zhang He looked along the branch with his spiritual sense, and there was actually a tree here, rooted on the bank of the lava river, which looked so different in this scorching lava world.

The black trunk is about the thickness of a bowl, and there are only a few isolated leaves on it, which are also black, and there are a few red fruits like blood hanging on it.

What kind of tree is this? Its vitality is so tenacious? Is it so fire-resistant? Or is it because the ignition point is too high?

Zhang He looked at the tree with a question mark on his forehead. He had never heard of trees growing in the lava river before.

It was a low-hanging branch of this tree that hung him just now.

I don't have time to think too much now, let's go ashore first.

He grabbed the branch with his backhand, slowly climbed along the branch to the trunk of the black tree, and then landed on the bank through the tree.

It wasn't until this moment that he had the time to look at the surrounding environment. This is an underground space.

In the middle is this lava river, with river banks on both sides. The river bank is not very wide, only about two or three feet long.

Although standing on the bank of the river still feels hot and unstoppable, it is much cooler than in the lava river after all, and this coolness is also produced by the contrast.

Except for that strange black tree on the bank of the river, there is no grass growing anywhere else.

However, even ordinary stones on the ground here have undergone qualitative changes over the years due to long-term exposure to extremely high temperatures, and they can be used as refining materials after being chopped off.

Between the stone cracks, Zhang He also found a piece of pure purple fire obsidian, which was much better than the ones he had collected before.

He dug out this piece of purple fire obsidian with a flying sword, and found two more pieces around it.

But what Zhang He is more interested in now is the dark tree on the shore.

The temperature on this tree was extremely high. He climbed over this tree just now, and he urged the Five Elements Mountain to protect himself with all his strength, but he was still almost roasted.

The most intuitive feeling is that the temperature of this tree is higher than that of the lava river.

Zhang He is now tired and exhausted, and he is not able to provoke this tree for the time being.

He shrank the Five Elements Mountain to about one foot, sat down on the Five Elements Mountain, and then took out a pot of spiritual spring water from the space.

Gudong Gudong Gudong...

After drinking Lingquan water, I felt more comfortable.
