Chapter 23 Ore

The place where Meng Zhang killed the sandworm was not far from Taiyi Gate, at most fifty miles.

Shortly after sending out the messaging talisman, Tian Zhen and Taoist Master Xuanling rushed over on a wind-chasing horse.

When he came to Meng Zhang, Tian Zhen couldn't wait to ask.

"Sect Master, why is it so urgent? I want my uncle and I to let go of everything and come over immediately?"

He glanced at Tian Zhen and Taoist Master Xuanling each had several storage bags, and even a few storage bags were placed on the saddle.

"According to my instructions, you brought all the usable storage bags in the door?" Meng Zhang asked back without answering.

After receiving Tian Zhen's affirmative answer, Meng Zhang led them to the corpse of the sandworm, pointed at the pile of fire-red items, and slowly explained it to them.

It turns out that in addition to hunting prey and swallowing blood, monsters like sandworms will sometimes swallow large quantities of earth and rocks.

When swallowing soil and rocks, sandworms often inadvertently swallow some various ores.

The pile of fire-red items exposed in the stomach of the sandworm are red copper ore.

Due to the corrosion of gastric juice, most of the earth and stone parts in these ores have been digested, revealing relatively pure red copper.

The knowledge Meng Zhang acquired in the trial land is all-encompassing and has a wide coverage, including a lot of knowledge about ores.

According to Meng Zhang's judgment, these red copper ores should come from a red copper ore.

The sandworms that often travel underground found the red copper mine. The natural instinct made it swallow a large amount of ore.

Fortunately, red copper is difficult to digest, so it can be retained in the stomach of the sandworm.

If these two sandworms meet Meng Zhang for a while at night, and when the red copper mine is completely digested, Meng Zhang will probably miss this discovery.

The activity range of sandworms is not very large. As long as you search along the activity trajectory of these two sandworms, you will definitely be able to find the red copper vein.

Red copper is a kind of metal spiritual material that is often used in refining tools, and the price is not cheap.

In the endless sand sea with barren materials, even this red copper vein is just a poor mine, its value is very high.

Moreover, Meng Zhang judged from the quality of the red copper ore remaining in the sandworm's belly that the reserves of this red copper ore vein should be not low.

For the poor Taiyi Sect, if this red copper vein can be found and mined, it would be a fortune.

That's why Meng Zhang felt happy.

As the head of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang also felt a lot of pressure. Especially the financial situation of Taiyi Sect is indeed not good.

The main income of Taiyi Sect comes from the nineteen acres of spiritual fields.

After working hard for a year, the spiritual valleys, spiritual fruits and the like that you earned are converted into spirit stones, no more than one thousand low-grade spirit stones.

With such a little income, I have to hand over 300 low-grade spirit stones to Shuangfeng Valley every year as a routine offering.

In the past, the disciples in Taiyi Sect’s supply sect were all too short of their practice and were very nervous.

Some time ago, Taiyi Sect experienced changes and although it lost many disciples, it also reduced the supply pressure of the sect to a certain extent.

However, Taiyi Sect will not never develop, and the number of disciples will gradually increase in the future. At that time, providing disciples with practice will still cause great financial pressure.

Meng Zhang counted out the things in the Taiyi Sect's great warehouse, including less than a thousand low-grade spirit stones. However, the accumulation of Taiyi Sect over the past decades was the last accumulation of Taiyi Sect's heads from all dynasties who had worked hard to save money and were regarded as the final accumulation of the sect.

Meng Zhang entered the trial almost every night.

Each time, you consume ten low-grade spirit stones, and after decomposing the remaining materials, you will need almost five low-grade spirit stones.

The consumption of fifteen low-grade spirit stones each time does not seem to be much, but over time, it is also a large number.

The supplies in the large warehouse are the supplies in the Taiyi Sect’s public, and are not the private property of the head of the sect.

In the past, all the heads of Taiyi Sect had clearly distinguished this point.

In Meng Zhang's generation, because there were only two or three big cats in Taiyi Sect, Tian Zhen, who was in charge of common affairs, was also a die-hard supporter of Meng Zhang, so Meng Zhang let Meng Zhang do whatever he wanted.

Meng Zhang also knew very well that he had no distinction between public and private affairs. If this continues, it will definitely bring great harm to the entire sect.

If I had not killed the three brothers of the Zhang family and obtained the supplement of almost 400 low-grade spirit stones, I'm afraid I would not have consumed such a large amount of spirit stones and materials.

There is now a red copper vein, which can be said to be a fortune from heaven, and can solve the problems of Meng Zhang and Taiyi Sect in an instant.

But Meng Zhang's thinking was still meticulous. After calming down, he realized the disaster in the middle.

As a vassal of Shuangfeng Valley, Taiyi Gate must be paid at least most of the income from the mineral resources found around the territory to Shuangfeng Valley.

Moreover, the current Taiyi Gate has neither manpower nor material resources to mine this red copper mine.

After discovering the red copper mine, I am afraid that the benefits will basically fall into Shuangfenggu's hands, and Taiyimen will drink at most some leftover soup and water.

This is not the worst case.

After the news of discovering the red copper mine will definitely attract many locust-like scattered cultivators.

Among the casual cultivators, there are many extremely vicious people like the three brothers of the Zhang family.

If a casual cultivator really wants to see money, robbed around him, or even directly attacked the Taiyi Sect's headquarters, then Taiyi Sect will be in trouble. If you are careful, you will be in danger of extermination.

Meng Zhang thought for a moment and decided to conceal the existence of the red copper vein.

Let’s talk about it after Taiyi Sect has the ability to protect itself and develop its ability in the future.

After Meng Zhang told Tian Zhen and Taoist Master Xuanling about the incident and his decision, they all agreed with Meng Zhang's decision.

Especially Taoist Master Xuanling, I think that the leader Meng Zhang is so young and can think so carefully and not be impulsive at all when doing things. It is really a blessing for Taiyi Sect.

According to Meng Zhang's arrangement, the three of them began to perform water-making techniques, creating a large amount of clean water to simply clean the ore in the stomach of the sandworm, and then put it into a storage bag.

The sandworm has a big belly and there is also a lot of red copper ore inside.

The three of them spent a lot of effort to clean all the ores and put them out of the storage bag.

As for the flesh and blood of the two sandworms, Meng Zhang collected a large amount of blood, the rest naturally had three Fengchasing horses cheaper.

This is the first time since the three Feng Zhuang Feng Jue was conquered by Taiyi Sect, and they have had a good meal and they can eat each of them.

After eating the three wind-chasing horses, they were full of dreams and did not care about waste. Meng Zhang directly casts spells to burn the remaining flesh and blood of the two sandworms, and then casts spells to open the ground first and bury all the residue deep underground.

During the whole process, no outsiders passed by this desolate and remote place.
