Although Jiang Cen and others traveled all the way, and often "meddle in their own business", they did not forget the original purpose of their trip - to find clues to metal spirit fire.
On this day, the three finally came to huoyun town.
From a distance, there is a thick dark red cloud in the sky. There are flames rolling in the cloud from time to time, and the fire clouds will not disperse all the year round.
Eight hundred miles south of the town is a huge active volcano. The local people call it holy mountain. The holy mountain is under the fire cloud. It is as long as half a month, and as short as three or five days. The mountain pass of the holy mountain will spray hot molten slurry. The huge smoke and flame can reach the fire cloud.
Shengshankou, also known as Jihuo cave, is also the destination of Jiang Cen and others.
In a mineral and jade shop in huoyun Town, Jiang CEN is carefully appreciating a dark red gold stone.
"You try!" Jiang Cen gives the stone to Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu understands. After taking the stone, a ray of real fire suddenly appears in his palm. Under the fire, the stone has a purple blue glow.
"Is this purple gold really a treasure found in Jihuo cave?" Jiang Cen asked.
"Exactly!" The shopkeeper replied: "the Jihuo grottoes are rich in various kinds of fire minerals. Every moment, many miners venture into them to dig for minerals. Occasionally, they can dig a few other treasures. This purple gold is a pure metal treasure. It has been tempered for many years in Jihuo grottoes. The quality is so high that it is hard to find in the world! "
Jiang Cen nodded slightly: "I'm interested in this treasure, but I have a small request. Could you please introduce me to the miner who found this purple gold?"
"That's easy to say!" The shopkeeper promised: "wait for our store to make some arrangements."
It is not easy to quench violet gold. This piece of violet gold is very pure and natural. It can be seen that it must have been burned and quenched in the flame for thousands of years.
Where there are tens of millions of years of flame, purple gold, a metal treasure, can be produced. It is very possible to find the metal flame that grows naturally in the special environment between heaven and earth.
What's more, Jiang Cen received the news that someone had seen a blue and white flame attached to the ore burning in the depths of Jihuo cave, which was probably a metal flame.
A few days later, under the arrangement of the shopkeeper, Jiang Cen met Lu Xiuqi, who was one of the 8000 miners in huoyun town. His accomplishments were similar to those of Jiang Cen, and he was also in the middle of Huadan.
Jiang Cen asks Lu Xiuqi where he found ziluojin and proposes to go there in person.
"That's not a good place!" Lu Xiuqi shook his head again and again: "the so-called human purgatory is just like this! Don't go there, three Taoist friends. Even the miners who are familiar with the situation of Jihuo cave are worried about their lives at any time. "
Jiang Cen said: "brother Lu, please lead the way. We will be fully prepared and responsible for our own safety. There is no need to worry. After the event, we will also pay brother Lu a considerable fee. "
Seeing Jiang Cen's insistence, Lu Xiuqi stopped persuading him: "all right! If you insist, Lu will be the leader. Three days later, Lu will go to the depths of Jihuo cave with a mining ship. Lu will explain to the captain and leave some places for the three Taoist friends. However, the cost of waiting for a ship is not cheap. "
"It's arranged by brother Lao Lu. This is the deposit. Please accept it." Jiang Cen takes out two pieces of the best spirit stones and gives them to each other.
Lu Xiuqi saw that Jiang Cen was generous, and his words were also enthusiastic. He explained the general environment of Jihuo grottoes, and told the three to prepare more treasures to prevent fire.
Three days later, Jiang Cen and others arrived at the foot of the holy mountain. Lu Xiuqi had been waiting here.
Looking at the holy mountain from here, it is very magnificent. The holy mountain is tall and high, and you can't see the end of it. You can only see the flame and smoke rising into the sky and enveloping the heaven and earth.
No matter day or night, it's gray here. From time to time, a stream of smoke is irritating and most of them are poisonous. Fortunately, Jiang Cen and others have been prepared to put on special isolation masks, which can block most of the poisonous fog.
Even at the foot of the mountain is also a hot and barren land. This area is made of volcanic ash for thousands of years. Let alone mortals, even those who cultivate immortals will not settle here to practice.
Lu Xiuqi said: "the three Taoist friends are coming at the right time. The Kunpeng ship will arrive soon."
Jiang Cen a Leng, ask a way: "Kun Peng warship?"
Lu Xiuqi nodded and explained, "the ship we are waiting for is called Kunpeng. Entering the extreme fire cave by ship will save a lot of mana and make it safer. "
Jiang Cen smiles. He used to own a warship with the same name.
Jiang Wu also thought of the past, two people smile. Only Bai lian'er doesn't know why.
After a while, a hundred Zhang large flying boat came in the dark sky. The boat was as red as fire. The flying boat rowed across the sky, leaving a trail of flame behind.
"Here comes the Kunpeng!" Lu Xiuqi said happily, greeting Jiang Cen and others to fly with the boat.
Soon, they landed on the boat, and a kind old man with spiritual body cultivation came out to meet them. This old man is the captain. The miners in huoyun town often call him father.
Father he politely greets Jiang Cen and others. After a bit of politeness, he suddenly whispers a few words to Lu Xiuqi. They are all about the ore production. It seems that there is some trouble.Lu Xiu frowned and pondered for a moment. He said to his father, "let me discuss with you and give him a reply half an hour later."
"Good!" He nodded: "if you don't do it, I can only find someone else. However, you are the best person with rich experience. This bid is also quite fair. "
Lu Xiuqi went to the other end of the boat alone and passed the message in a low voice.
Not long later, he told him that he had taken over the task.
"Very good!" Father he nodded happily: "it's not too late! When the giant miner stopped working for an hour, it cut down several thousand jin of burning jade. We'll repair the miner first, and then send you to the depths of Jihuo cave. "
Jiang Cen and others just take a boat, of course, will not object. The boat flew slowly to the crater of the holy mountain.
Under the volcano, the temperature rises suddenly and reaches the mountain pass everywhere.
Lu Xiuqi and others seem to have been used to it for a long time, and they don't even need to sacrifice the spirit of protecting the body; but Bai lian'er has to sacrifice a layer of water spirit mask, otherwise he will be roasted to dryness in an instant.
"Sail Father he told several boatmen.
It looks like a flying boat with two long wings.
After stretching out the fire sail, the Kunpeng warship can fly against the fire. It carries people into the crater and flies quickly to the extreme fire cave under the crater with the vitality of the fire.
All the way, it was full of smoke and flame. The flame was just that. The smoke was the most terrible. Once trapped in it, it was not only completely dark and hard to distinguish the direction, but also had to hold your breath and not dare to breathe in, otherwise, your heart would be damaged.
Father he was obviously experienced. He was very skilled in directing the boatman to walk through the smoke and flames. After burning incense, they finally entered the extreme fire cave at the bottom of the holy mountain.
But here the smoke is more intense and less hot. Kunpeng flies faster and more smoothly with firepower.
Jiang Cen and others came to the deck to watch the spectacle of flames and boats passing through the fire.
After a while, they passed a mining area. The miner was like a giant, standing in the flames, in which dozens of miners worked, selecting and sorting the Yanyu and other minerals mined by the miner from deep under the molten slurry.
There are also dozens of immortals in uniform costumes, each holding a magic weapon, guarding near the mining machine, one by one with high accomplishments, should be the guard here.
Father he told Jiang Cen and others that what they saw was only a small part of the miner exposed. The main body of the miner was thousands of feet deep under the molten slurry. Only there can the best quality Yanyu be mined.
A mining machine is extremely expensive, but it can also produce a large number of Yanyu. Seven or eight of the Yanyu in numerous large and small cities near Yunzhou come from here.
Jiang Cen hears what he's saying. This Jihuo cave is a precious place with incalculable value. Therefore, it has always been a place contested by super clan forces.
For thousands of years, Jihuo Grottoes have belonged to a large local sect. Strictly speaking, Jiang Cen and others intruded into the grottoes without any big action. However, if they dare to dig a large-scale mine, they will inevitably lead to hostility from the sect.
After walking through the blazing fire for dozens of miles, he passed three mining areas. At the fourth giant mining machine Jiang Cen saw, the Kunpeng ship slowly stopped. Here the mining machine stopped working and the miners were sitting around.
Without waiting for the Kunpeng ship to stop, a guard of the virtual spirit body fell on the Kunpeng ship in a hurry.
"Old he, have you found it yet?" Asked the guard.
"Don't worry, fan Daoyou. People have already found it!" Father he led Lu Xiuqi and said, "this brother Lu is a veteran. He has been in the industry for several decades. He has been in the water three times, but he has never failed! He is undoubtedly the best choice
"Very good!" The guard nodded: "I've been down for two, but I haven't got it. It's up to you! "
The guard patted Lu Xiuqi on the shoulder for encouragement.
Lu Xiuqi nodded, looking rather dignified.
"Jiang Daoyou," Lu Xiuqi whispered to Jiang Cen and others, "I've told old he where I found ziluojin. If I don't come out after I go into the water, he will take you. As for the remaining expenses, please also give them to Mr. He. "
Jiang Cen agreed and added: "brother Lu, take care!"
Lu Xiuqi nodded gratefully and left the Kunpeng ship with the guard.
"What is the water?" Bai lian'er couldn't help asking curiously.
"It's just diving under the molten liquid!" Father he sighed.
Bai lian'er was startled: "the molten liquid is so hot that it needs a lot of mana to maintain the protective divine light after diving. Why is that so?"
He explained: "the Yanyu ore is very hard. The diamond diamond at the tip of the miner is often damaged. Once it is damaged, someone needs to go deep and replace the diamond drill, otherwise the mining machine will not continue to operate. "
"But isn't it dangerous to go down?" "Why don't you lift up the miner and replace the diamond again?" Bai lian'er said
Father he said with a bitter smile: "the mining machine is huge. It takes several months to lift it once. If it can't be mined for several months, the loss is so great! In contrast, human life is much cheaper! ""I've calculated that this miner, the burning jade collected day and night, can be worth millions of spirit stones, while the cost of asking someone to go into the water to replace the diamond is only one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand spirit stones. What's the best deal? It's clear at a glance! "
"But what if there's a life?" Bai lian'er doesn't understand.
"It's not just in case, it happens from time to time." Father he sighed: "if people die, it's just an extra stone as compensation. Compared with the value of mining machinery, it's still not worth mentioning."
As they spoke, they saw Lu Xiuqi, who was not far away, already wearing a special armor and carrying a heavy object half a Zhang long. Under the advice of the virtual body guard, he jumped into the molten slurry and soon sank without any trace.
Only a Vajra chain tied to him connects him with the cart on the magma.
Bai lian'er was more nervous when she heard the words. She put her hands together and prayed for Lu Xiuqi in a low voice.
He said: "Jiang Daoyou, if you are not in a hurry, I will wait here. One or two hours at most, there will be results. "
"Yes Jiang Cen agrees that he also hopes to see Lu Xiuqi complete the task and return safely.
