Chapter 353

Below the price list, there were many detailed rules written in small characters.

For example, the deeper you go into the underground ore bed, the more spirit stones you need, and the shorter the time limit.

For another example, the ore dug by cultivators cannot be hidden privately and must be taken out in full when leaving the mine for inspection. Yugang Town will take fifty percent of it and leave the other fifty percent for the cultivators.

"A-Zhuo, look here, it really is as you expected," Sun Lingtong transmitted his voice to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo gave up studying the price list, turned his head to look, and saw the wanted order for the demon black tiger.

On the wanted order, the black tiger was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, with viscous blood flowing from between its teeth. The painter's foundation was not bad, depicting the unique temperament of this demon.

"Black Wind Tiger Demon," Ning Zhuo murmured, reciting the name on the wanted list.

Besides it, there were several other demon cultivators, which also made Ning Zhuo feel quite familiar.

After careful identification, he found that they were members of the group of demon cultivators he saw in the valley. They were very powerful and domineering when fighting for blood food, and they were small leaders under the Black Wind Tiger Demon.

"There is also that human cultivator here," Sun Lingtong said again, his ability to observe was much stronger than Ning Zhuo's.

In the valley in the west of the mountain, there was only one human cultivator, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, who was used as a servant by the Tiger Demon.

Ning Zhuo looked in the direction of the sound, but unexpectedly found that this human cultivator was not on the wanted list, but a missing person notice.

The human cultivator was named Shi Sui, good at earth-walking spells, and was the son of the previous town mayor. Since the Black Wind Tiger Demon led the crowd to attack the mountain town and killed many cultivators including the previous town mayor, this Shi Sui had also been missing since the war and could not be found to this day.

Sun Lingtong: "This Tiger Demon was able to impact the mountain town, his combat power is not bad. Shi Sui should have been captured by him in that battle and has been imprisoned in the valley in the west of the mountain, not slaughtered, but used as a servant to serve him."

"We will poison the Tiger Demon next, Shi Sui might be able to serve as our insider. After all, his father died at the hands of the Tiger Demon! I thought he was a human traitor."

Sun Lingtong looked at Ning Zhuo and smiled: "In this way, we killed the Black Wind Tiger Demon and can also receive a reward, not bad, not bad. Shall we reveal the list now?"

Ning Zhuo stopped him: "Boss, don't rush, let's go into the town and explore."

"Hmm, listen to you," Sun Lingtong said.

Since the Lava Immortal Palace incident, Sun Lingtong had completely witnessed Ning Zhuo's strategy. He had self-knowledge and knew that in terms of strategy, the little brother he cultivated was cunning, treacherous, and sinister, definitely far beyond himself.

The two disguised themselves as loose cultivators digging for ore, each paid fifty spirit stones, and entered the small town.

The streets in the town were very wide, and huge mechanism vehicles walked on them.

On both sides of the street stood simple stone houses. The stone houses shone with jade light in the sun, obviously made by cultivators using local materials.

o￠o

People came and went in the town, and the hawking of vendors and the laughter of miners were intertwined.

Many cultivators were shirtless, with bursting muscles, rough voices, and heroic demeanor, and one could tell they were body cultivators.

Besides this, there were mostly gold cultivators and earth cultivators.

These three types of cultivators were more suitable for digging ore.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong first found a teahouse, ordered a portion of jade rhinoceros beef, served three taels of jade dew wine, and while eating and drinking, listened to the discussions of the cultivators.

When the waiter came to serve the food, Ning Zhuo also took out a spirit stone and handed it to him as a reward for asking.

After some inquiries, the two got a lot of information about the mountain town.

For example, the previous town mayor surnamed Shi was harsh to others, narrow-minded, and any cultivator who wanted to smuggle something would be severely punished immediately upon discovery, never lenient.

For another example, the current town mayor is surnamed Meng, named Zizhong, from the Meng family of the Nandou Kingdom, with a noble background.

After Meng Zizhong took office, his style was heroic, his supervision was not strict, he diligently practiced soldiers, and he liked martial arts. He often led cultivators out of the town to take the initiative to sweep and clear all demon beasts and demon cultivators that posed a threat in the surroundings of Yugang Mountain, which was very responsible.

And his own powerful martial arts also provided a lot of security for the townspeople. In terms of reputation, he was much better than the previous town mayor.

Sun Lingtong said: "Meng Zizhong comes from the Meng family, and the martial arts style is flourishing. Judging from the fact that he posted the wanted list and has been searching for the Night Wind Tiger Demon, we can see that after we reveal the list and find him, he will definitely be happy to see it succeed and give us detailed information about the demon."

Ning Zhuo pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Don't rush, Boss, since we are here, let's go to the mine to see."

Sun Lingtong gave an "ah" sound: "A mere one hundred low-grade crystals... do you still care about these three melons and two dates?"

Ning Zhuo smiled: "Since I was young, I have never dug for ore like this."

Sun Lingtong put his hands behind his head: "You, you are still too young. What's fun about digging for ore!"

Not long after.

The two were digging for ore in the first ore bed.

"Look, look, what did I dig up! Such a large piece of jade-moistened mysterious steel," Sun Lingtong showed off.

"Amazing, Boss," Ning Zhuo smiled faintly.

"Look here, I just feel that something is wrong here. After chiseling open the jade steel, guess what, I found this!" Sun Lingtong took out the associated ore and showed it off.

This was a piece of Bi-Luo stone, the stone body was like wax, gray and dusty, and it was the raw material for classic colored ink used in painting in the hundred arts of cultivation.

Ning Zhuo gave a thumbs up.

Sun Lingtong cracked his mouth, rubbed his hands, and rushed to the ore bed excitedly.

His face was almost pressed against the stone surface, his eyes flashing with spirit light. It was the use of the Spirit Pupil talent that allowed him to distinguish more accurately, penetrate deeper, and discover more and better quality ore.

Sun Lingtong dug and dug, immersed in it.

By the time Ning Zhuo almost dragged him out, Sun Lingtong was still reluctant to leave: "We haven't used up our time limit yet, fifty spirit stones each, we have to dig back the cost."

"Boss, you dug back the cost long ago," Ning Zhuo said while transmitting his voice, and came to the supervisor, taking out the dug ore.

The supervisor picked some ore, used a magic tool to shine on Ning Zhuo's whole body, then beckoned, and let him leave.

Sun Lingtong hid many precious associated ores and only handed over some jade-moistened mysterious steel ore.

The supervisor couldn't find it with the magic tool, waved his hand, and let Sun Lingtong go.

Sun and Ning walked together on the street.

Ning Zhuo transmitted his voice, sighing: "Yugang Mountain is uniquely endowed by nature, and the jade-moistened mysterious steel contained is so rich. If one person occupies it, just relying on this mountain can develop and grow, branch out, and achieve a large cultivation family."

Sun Lingtong shrugged: "Yugang Mountain is good, but it is far from the Fire Persimmon Immortal. It can only support a mountain town, but the resources in Fire Persimmon Mountain can support an immortal city."

"The resources in Fire Persimmon Mountain can be said to be endless, circulating back and forth. Yugang Mountain reduces its foundation by one point for every point mined, and it cannot last."

Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly: "Boss, you still don't understand what I mean. I'll say it clearly, I am the clan leader of the Ning family branch, it's a pity that my branch has just been established, everything is waiting to be done, just having some positions in the Lava Immortal Palace, what does it count for?"

"There is no reliable family business."

"Tell me, how about this Yugang Mountain?"

Sun Lingtong was stunned, a bit unable to understand why Ning Zhuo suddenly thought of this.

"Aren't we going to collect your mother's relics?"

"As a result, we found the Black Wind Tiger Demon, only by eradicating him can we get what we want."

"How come you took a fancy to Yugang Mountain again? What is this?"

Ning Zhuo's smile deepened: "This is all one thing."

Seeing that Ning Zhuo was serious, Sun Lingtong thought for him, thought for a while, had no clue, and was quite distressed: "This town is guarded by Meng Zizhong, his background is very hard, how do you want to topple him? And how can your branch get involved?"

Ning Zhuo's eyes were deep: "Why don't we manufacture some evidence to prove that Meng Zizhong has a secret connection with the Black Wind Tiger Demon."

Sun Lingtong: "You want to frame him? The difficulty is very high, not easy to do."

"Don't forget the Trace-Tracing Art of the Divine Catcher Division."

Ning Zhuo smiled: "Boss, I want to try."

Sun Lingtong felt excited: "I have felt that this matter will be very interesting and exciting."

So, the two left the mountain town and used the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon to return to Mount Wuyin.

The mechanical wandering dragon drilled into the depths of the mountain valley and found the human cultivator Shi Sui from a corner.

Sun Lingtong took action, knocked him unconscious directly, and stuffed him into the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon.

The two, Sun and Ning, returned to Yugang Mountain and released Shi Sui.

Ning Zhuo cast the Human Life Hanging Thread divine ability and planted it on Shi Sui.

When Shi Sui woke up, he found that he had escaped from death, which was extremely shocking.

Ning Zhuo took the opportunity to convey the message, in the capacity of a master of the world, telling Shi Sui that it was he who took action to save the latter, but he was afraid of trouble and did not want to break his reclusive life, so he brought Shi Sui to Yugang Mountain and let him report to Meng Zizhong.

Shi Sui was overjoyed, kowtowed several times on the spot, and then broke into Meng Zizhong's mansion.

Regardless of the doorman's obstruction, he came to the small courtyard and shouted loudly.

In this way, Meng Zizhong was alarmed.

Meng Zizhong led Shi Sui into the study and asked carefully.

Shi Sui knew everything and said everything, his emotions were very excited.

Meng Zizhong asked: "Did you really run out?"

Shi Sui relied on the instructions of the "master of the world," did not expose the latter's identity, nodded affirmatively, and said that he had prepared for many years and finally seized the opportunity a few days ago, ran wildly for his life, ran all the way to Yugang Mountain, and came to ask the Nandou Kingdom to make the decision for him and take revenge.

"Lord Meng, when will you send troops?" Shi Sui was full of expectations.

Pfft.

A knife pierced Shi Sui's chest.

Shi Sui was terrified, looked at the hand on the hilt, and then followed the arm all the way up, seeing Meng Zizhong's face.

"You, you..."

The next moment, Shi Sui died.

In the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, this scene was truly imprinted.

Sun Lingtong was extremely surprised: "What's going on? This Meng Zizhong really has a problem?!"

He turned his head suddenly and looked at Ning Zhuo: "Brother, how did you know?"

"We were clearly acting together."
