143: 91 Jinlang Jade Mine_1 143: 91 Jinlang Jade Mine_1 As far as he knew, there were no rare cultivation resources in the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
The fact that the Xu Family had set up Formations in the Green Cloud Mountain Range and even stationed Foundation Establishnt Cultivators to guard the area indicated there must be precious cultivation resources there.
There shouldn’t be any Core Formation Cultivators there; otherwise, Liu Shi wouldn’t have been able to escape, even with an Earth Escape Talisman.
“According to my grandfather’s analysis, the Green Cloud Mountain Range certainly contains important cultivation resources.
That is why the Xu Family values it so highly.
However, my grandfather’s cultivation was too low, and before he could investigate further, he was discovered by the guards,”
Liu Yuruo said with a despondent voice.
“Alright, you don’t need to be too sad.
The dead cannot co back to life.
You haven’t announced his death to the public, have you?
The Xu Family might co knocking on your door.”
Shen Long asked.
“No, my grandfather left a final instruction before he passed away.
He told to claim that he was out on a mission.
I will take over his position and continue to gather information for you, Senior,”
said Liu Yuruo.
“Co to Rain Listening Tower.
Give the second shop assistant a heads up, and he will bring you over.
Sa old rules—I’ve put so things in the teapot for you to collect on your own,”
Shen Long instructed.
“Yes, Senior Yu,”
Liu Yuruo agreed.
Shen Long put away the ssaging Plate, took out a yellow Storage Bag, and stuffed a thousand Spirit Stones into it before tucking the Storage Bag into the teapot.
With Chen Liang as an example, Shen Long dared not trust people easily.
Since Liu Shi had died, Shen Long would provide so compensation.
If the information Liu Shi had provided turned out to be of great value, Shen Long would also give a reward.
He stood up, walked out, closed the door behind him, gave a few instructions to the shop assistant, and left Rain Listening Tower.
He found an inn to stay in and took out the ssaging Plate to contact Liu Yuruo.
“You got the Spirit Stones, right?”
Shen Long asked.
“I got them.
Thank you, Senior Yu,”
Liu Yuruo said gratefully.
“This is a token of my appreciation.
If the information he gave his life for turns out to be of significant value, I will have a reward for you.
Manage Liu’s Grocery Store well and take good care of yourself, understand?”
Shen Long admonished.
“Yes, Senior,”
responded Liu Yuruo.
Shen Long said a few more words, then put away the ssaging Plate.
He took out three Storage Bags of various colors, poured out their contents: over twenty thousand Spirit Stones, along with Spiritual dicine, Artifact Refining materials, Jade Slips, and Talismans.
Thirteen Magic Artifacts, four of which were top-grade offensive Magic Artifacts, one middle-grade Flying Artifact, and four second-tier Talismans, including a Divine Strength Talisman which could temporarily enhance a Cultivator’s Qi Strength.
Shen Long picked up a green Jade Slip and imrsed his Divine Sense in it.
After checking the contents of all the Jade Slips, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
“Qinghu Tribe!”
Shen Long murmured to himself.
The Storage Bags of Chen Hao and Bai Bing contained several dozen Jade Slips; two of which ntioned the Qinghu Tribe.
As far as he was aware, there were eighteen major Barbarian Tribes, and the Qinghu Tribe was not among them.
The Qinghu Tribe must be a mid-sized tribe; if it were a small tribe, it would not have the power to send spies deep into Human Clan territory.
The strength of Barbarian Tribes is categorized into three levels: large, mid-sized, and small.
Large tribes have at least five Nascent Soul Cultivators, mid-sized tribes have at least one Core Formation Cultivator, and the highest cultivation among small tribes would only be Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
Offspring from a union between Barbarian Tribe mbers and Human Cultivators are incredibly strong, mostly resemble the Human Clan in appearance, and possess the bloodline of Barbarian Tribes.
These Half-Barbarians are sent to infiltrate the interior of the Human Clan to gather intelligence and cultivation resources.
He didn’t know what the Qinghu Tribe had sent Chen Hao and Bai Bing to do in Zhao Country, but it certainly wasn’t anything good.
For him, the greatest gains this ti were the two Dharma Treasures, the Soul Nourishing Locket and the Magnetic Origin Bead.
As a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, he couldn’t wield Dharma Treasures, but in terms of value, these two were second only to the Spirit Control Tower.
Shen Long gathered up the items from the floor, again wearing a pensive look.
From the information Liu Shi had, there was definitely sothing amiss with the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
Exactly what the problem was, however, he couldn’t say.
He had two choices: to ignore it, or to explore and discover the truth for himself.
After much consideration, Shen Long decided to check it out.
You can’t stand beside the river without getting wet: he had been staying in the Cultivation Realm of Zhao Country all the ti, constantly on edge, fearing that Cultivators from the Hundred Ghosts Sect would track him down soday.
If there were valuable items in the Green Cloud Mountain Range, he could make a significant contribution and be allowed to return to Qin Country.
Having clarified this point, Shen Long no longer hesitated and left the inn, headed straight for the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
……
The border between Qin Country and Zhao Country spanned hundreds of thousands of miles; the Green Cloud Mountain Range was just a small section of it.
Deep within the Green Cloud Mountain Range, within a hidden underground cavern glittering with spots of gold on its walls, a team of Xu Family Cultivators were mining for ore.
In a huge stone chamber over a hundred zhang in size, a dium-built elder in a golden robe sat on a green cushion, his face clean-shaven and his eyes bright and piercing.
A thirty-sothing blue-robed man was reporting to the golden-robed elder.
“Second Great-Uncle!
We can’t find that Qi Refining Cultivator.
He was poisoned with a strange toxin and likely didn’t survive,”
the blue-robed man reported.
Xu Yihai, early stage of Foundation Establishnt.
“Likely?
Our family’s future could be ruined by your actions.
You actually let a Qi Refining Cultivator escape.
If he spreads the news, it will undoubtedly attract the attention of those with ulterior motives,”
the golden-robed elder scolded without any courtesy.
Xu Yunfeng, late stage of Foundation Establishnt.
By a stroke of luck, the Xu Family had discovered a mid-sized Jinlang Jade Mine.
Jinlang Jade is a third-tier Artifact Refining material suitable for making Dharma Treasures.
The mine, being mid-sized, was valued at several million Spirit Stones.
The Xu Family stationed five Foundation Establishnt Cultivators to guard it, set up second-tier Formations, and mobilized people to mine the ore.
If all went well, the family was bound to rise to glory.
