In fact, spiritual dissipation is only a small part of the reason. Stone monsters are spiritually difficult to gather and difficult to eliminate.

The real reason is that the largest piece of jade has been sucked away because of the condensation of the stone coat, and it is impossible to refine soft fragrant jade at all.

"That's not bad. One side is 5,000 yuan, and the four sides are 20,000 yuan. Wei Tianchong rubbed his hands and said, "Now my puppet will be invincible!"

He laughed, and began to fantasize about himself sweeping across the directions with a puppet.

Tang Zheng said angrily: "Do you still want to use it all? This side is five thousand! You will be a puppet of three grades in total, and half a piece is too much." Keep the rest, I'll be of other use. ”

Wei Tianchong was anxious: "Why don't you give me half a piece, so give me a whole recipe." It's a big deal, I'll just count the money for you. ”

Tang Zheng said: "It's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you, it's just that the soft fragrant jade is a high-grade spiritual material, even if it is a seventh- or eighth-grade puppet, it can be used, and it is too wasteful to put it on a third-grade puppet, so it's better to keep some for future use." Moreover, the soft jade itself is soft, and using too much of it will only reduce the solidity of the puppet. ”

"Oh well. Hearing Tang Zheng say this, Wei Tianchong could only agree.

Shimeng leaned up and said, "And me?"

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

"That secret method is too difficult to refine, and this method hurts the body, and it is not very effective, I don't like it. ”

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

"How can you help?"

"Then you will know. ”

As they spoke, the three of them had 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 people are now respectful to the three of them, and some Ayi people have taken the initiative to offer gifts to show their friendship. Tang Zheng They are not polite, they don't rob themselves, but they don't push it out if they have benefits. Relying on the offerings, everyone made a small fortune before arriving at Shouwangchuan, and they had a lot more money.

Then everyone headed for the Shouwang River together.

The convoy traveled all the way west, and soon after crossing Xiema Lake, they saw a small town, which was Wangchuan Town.

After Wangchuan Town, there is the Pimple Mountain, which is the source of the purple gold vein.

Pimple Mountain was originally a barren area, so barren that not even trees grew, but the mountains were full of dirt, hence the name. It wasn't until the discovery of a purple gold vein that the pimple mountain became lively ever since. With the arrival of a large number of miners, Mochikawa Village, which was originally just an ordinary village, was able to develop and become Wangcheon Town.

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

The area around Pimple Mountain was originally the land of Xiao Yuanzong, a small sect in the territory of Li State, and did not belong to the Seven Peerless Sects. After all, although the six major factions rule the world from afar, they can't let those small sects even have a place to stand, in fact, they only occupy a few of the best resource producing areas, and most of them are still distributed to each small faction, and then managed by each small and medium-sized sect, and pay tribute every year.

Due to the abundant output of the red purple gold vein, and the rules set by the six major sects themselves, the Seven Peerless Sects secretly instigated other sects to attack Xiao Yuanzong and loot the wealth, and staged one human killing after another here. In the end, Xiao Yuanzong was unable to resist this huge pressure, and was forced to plead to the Seven Peerless Sects, willing to hand over the ore veins to the Seven Peerless Sects, and only take half of the income every year.

For this half of the income, Xiao Yuanzong has to send people to supervise it every year, and perhaps because of this, Xiao Yuanzong's supervision is not strict, so there will be a certain amount of purple gold outflow every year.

This is also what the big faction often does, and many things that are not visible to the light are inconvenient for you to do, so you let others do them.

This is the kind of role played by the Heavenly Annihilation Sect, otherwise how could the Moon Washing Sect tolerate them until now.

When the convoy came to the town, it was quite busy because it was the time of the big market. However, Tang Zheng and they didn't care about this, there would not be what Tang Zheng wanted in the open market, and only the secret market could get Zijin.

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

When he came, Tang Zheng had already greeted several caravan stewards of the Ayi tribe and learned that the secret market would not open until evening. Therefore, there is no hurry, so I wander around the town casually during the day, and by the way, I also find a place to refine jade.

According to Tang Zheng's meaning, it is actually better to sell the rough stone directly than to refine it, after all, the largest piece has actually been refined. However, considering that he borrowed the identity of the Ayi tribe to participate in the secret market, this kind of pit people will only bring trouble to the Ayi tribe, so it is still after all.

The refining of the original stone is not complicated, it belongs to the material refining in the instrument path, Tang Zheng has been in the forging platform for three years, and he has nothing else to do, so he will mention the material, so this refining rough stone 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.

Soft fragrant jade is still white in color, looks soft, not like jade to more like white mud, not like other materials to be refined with fire, just put together, you can fuse by yourself.

This kind of thing has an adsorption to jade, so it cannot be contained in a jade box, but can only be placed in a metal box. This is also its biggest disadvantage, that is, it only absorbs stone, which is why although it has a strong recovery ability, its defense ability is relatively low, and it is only suitable for stone-based golems.

Of course, if it weren't, it would be worth more than five thousand.

Wei Tianchong's puppet this time is based on obsidian. Obsidian is a tougher stone than purple sand, harder than gold and iron, but lighter in weight, which means stronger defense and less consumption, that is, less psychic than purple sand.

The result of poor psychic performance is that it is difficult to exert the power of refining arrays, and at the same time, the requirements for the master are also higher.

But these two shortcomings are not a problem for Tang Zheng and Wei Tianchong. The former has the Tang Tribulation, the Tang Tribulation that has reached the four-grade array path, and it can be said that there is no problem in making a three-grade battle puppet, and the latter has the Black Water Soul Parasitic Technique, and Wei Tianchong has enough ability to control it.

After the refining was completed, Tang Zheng took out half of the square and handed it to Wei Tianchong, Wei Tianchong was overjoyed, as long as there was Zijin again, this three-grade puppet would be unprecedentedly powerful.

Night fell, and the secret city that Tang Zhengwei Tianchong had been looking forward to finally arrived.

To Tang Zheng's surprise, 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 Zheng and they followed several stewards of the Ayi tribe to the village, which was already brightly lit, and there were two big men standing at the gate of the manor, although they looked mighty, they were actually mortals.

However, behind the ordinariness of the appearance, Tang Zheng still felt the fluctuation and peeping of the aura inside.

This is also normal, the secret market is a place to sell contraband, and most of the forbidden products are actually related to cultivation resources. The Poison Dragon Gang can open a secret city here, if there is no immortal cultivator, Tang Zheng will definitely not believe it.

After entering the village, Tang Zheng and others found that there was a hole inside. The estate is huge, and there are stalls everywhere. Those things that are not seen in the light of day are openly displayed at this moment, with a clear price, and more people are wandering around, looking for items they like.

The Ayi people had their own things to buy, so the three of them were separated from them, wandering around the market by themselves, and seeing a lot of new and interesting things along the way.

"Tang Zheng, look. The dream pointed to a person walking not far away.

The cultivator had a yin and yang face, centered on the bridge of his nose, with the left half of his face indigo blue and the right half of his face purplish-red, which looked quite penetrating.

Tang Zai said in a low voice: "Don't point it, it's rude." It was a casual practice. ”

In this secret market, in addition to the caravan, the most are scattered cultivation.

There is no door or sect for casual cultivation, and they usually rely on the cultivation method they got out of nowhere to grope for their cultivation alone, and if they are not careful, they will go mad, and they often leave all kinds of defects if they are lucky enough not to die, and because of this, there are all kinds of weirdos in casual cultivation.

There are those who have just entered the spiritual spring when they are more than half a hundred years old, there are those who have big waists and round waists, and there are more warriors than monks, there are those who have cultivated deformities that cause their images to be strange and terrifying, and of course, there are also those who are gorgeously dressed and have big bellies and are both merchants and monks......

They have been in the academy for four years, and they have almost no chance to deal with scattered cultivators, but this is the first time they have seen so many casual cultivators, and many things have completely subverted their previous concepts, and they are also confused for a while.

Wei Tianchong saw it, saw a cultivator from a distance, and pointed: "Tang Zheng, look, there is a toad here!"

Looking along Wei Tianchong's finger, he saw a person walking from afar, short and fat, his face was covered with poisonous sores, and he looked extremely disgusting, no wonder Wei Tianchong called a toad.

However, Wei Tianchong's voice was obviously slightly louder, and the Humpty Dumpty man actually heard it.

At this moment, he raised his head and looked at Wei Tianchong, and shouted, "Look for death!"

With a finger of his hand, a stream of green liquid had already shot towards Wei Tian.

Wei Tianchong was about to resist, but Tang Zheng had already grabbed him and flashed to the side suddenly, and the green liquor hit the ground in the air, only to hear the sound of "bang", and it actually eroded the hard floor into potholes.

"Poisonous?" Wei Tianchong's face changed.

Tang Zheng already said: "This fellow Daoist, my young master's words just now are not inferior, this is his fault, but it is a bit too much to poison this matter, right? For the sake of my young master to cause trouble first, I don't care about you, let's just reveal this matter." In the end, this is the territory of the Evil Jiao Gang, and if it really starts, it will not be good for anyone. ”

The Humpty Dumpty man obviously also cared about the power of the Evil Jiao Gang, and glared at Tang Zheng and Wei Tianchong fiercely, and then flicked his sleeves and left.

Wei Tianchong pouted: "What's the spirit!"

"Shut up. Tang Zheng shouted angrily: "Just come and make trouble!"

Wei Tianchong knew that he was not doing it right, so he could only mutter: "Hey, I'm your young master, do you have to talk to the young master like this." ”

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