Gu Xiaoren naturally didn't know that a guy ran away overnight, and he probably didn't feel in the mood to think about those things, because after a few days out, Atai, who went to buy the relevant materials of the [House Department], brought back bad news.

——The prices of some things suddenly rise, and some materials may not be able to buy even if they have money.

Gu Xiaoren frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of them are they?"

"The prices of raw gold, idiot silver, and red copper have skyrocketed, and the five-color earth, rhinoceros horns and fangs are hard to find." Atai described calmly: "Even the rhinoceros powder in the pharmacy is sold out. I also went to several cities closer to Baiyungang, and the situation was similar. Even when I was buying these things, I was targeted by those who were interested, but I have already handled everything and I will not have any trouble to stay."

When Gu Xiaoren heard this, his brows frowned even more: "Who is the one who is targeting you?"

"Local snake." Atai said lightly: "It seems that someone is buying these things in large quantities. Those guys probably think it is profitable, so they start to hoard and sell them maliciously. After I contacted them, I expressed my willingness to buy them. The other party probably saw that I was a raw face and wanted to eat them with the money."

After all, this can not only make money, but also save a lot of things.

Unfortunately, they met not only raw faces, but Atai who could swallow them alive.

May there be no sin underground.

Gu Xiaoren thought silently while watching A Tai hand over a bead.

【Derivatives·Must Seed Beads】

【Quality: Rare】

【Extraordinary Source: Zhen Gao】

A space derivative containing some materials.

The mustard beads are naturally their own, and they are derivatives replaced by Gu Xiaoren from the original country.

But the materials inside...

Well, it probably didn't cost money.

Because the promissory note he handed over to Atai before was not moved at all, there was a lot of money in the mustard beads.

It's a huge deal.

Gu Xiaoren rubbed the beads, his eyes were floating, his thoughts were relaxed, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he suddenly asked Atai: "You said, who would be the guy who bought these things behind the scenes?"

"Strange goods are accustomed to profit." Artai thought for a while and said, "Of course, it may also be related to extraordinary things."

It’s okay to say that gold, silver and copper are precious metals after all.

But most of the five-color earth, rhinoceros horns, and fangs are related materials for some mysterious rituals.

Especially for the five-color earth, in some important sacrifices, there has always been a saying that five-color earth is used to build an altar, and there are many limitations on how many and how thick it is.

For example, major ceremonies such as the establishment of states and the establishment of society by princes and the founding of emperors and the founding of sorrow.

"Baihutong" says, "Some say seals are gold, mud, silver ropes, or stone, mud, gold ropes, seals." Later scholars believe that this is a ritual during the Fengshan sacrifice, which refers to sealing the documents used for Fengshan with "gold, mud, silver ropes" or "stone, mud, gold ropes" and burying them underground.

The Taishigong's "Records of the Grand Historian: Book of Fengshan" also contains the record of "Flying Yingsheng and Soaring the Real, Jin, Mud and Stone Records".

However, the Fengshan ceremony was not only complicated, but also mysterious.

These two words have always been somewhat sensitive, and the relevant rituals and layout details have always been secret.

This was the case in the previous life. After this life was extraordinary, ghosts didn’t know what terrifying changes would happen.

And it happened that a certain force seemed to be planning such a ceremony.

He didn't believe it very much if it had nothing to do with someone.

However, Gu Xiaoren no longer intends to participate in such a thing.

After all, it is not a good thing to mix too much of that level arrangement and potential danger. After all, he is just a fifth-level extraordinary person.

And he doesn't need to say much about this kind of thing.

Because the other party made such a big noise, it even caused the rise and shortage of certain materials, which would definitely attract the attention of some related forces.

Gu Xiaoren felt that even without his two letters of reporting, special institutions mainly based on the Intelligence Agency would sooner or later notice it.

After all, Yuanguo should still have some understanding of this kind of ritual.

The reason why Gu Xiaoren made this speculation was that one thing was the extraordinary item of protection he obtained when he first traded steel with the former Navy Department.

The owner of this Eight Gods Temple should have some understanding of the relevant rituals and functions of Fengshan, and probably understand what the Jishan Spiritual Cultivation Society wants to do.

Well, since the original country may have mastered these clues, there will naturally be corresponding countermeasures.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoren pinched the beads and said, "Atai, let's go out."

The two drove away from Gu Mansion and rushed all the way to a mine hundreds of miles away.

Nominally, this mine is currently considered Gu Xiaoren's industry.

He came here naturally to make up for the shortcomings of certain materials.

In terms of collecting relevant materials, the amount of five-color earth, rhinoceros horns and fangs is not large, but the main gold, idiot silver and red copper are the big ones.

The prices of these precious metals are rising and those merchants are still hoarding them. Gu Xiaoren will inevitably pay a more expensive price if he wants to buy them secretly. Instead of spending the money on those guys, he might as well take some effort to do it himself.

That's right, he plans to transform into a human-like absenteeism today, use the ability of natural engineering to control metals to come to the mine to collect some precious metals in person.

Relying on the geography of the French and Ata Shui Jingzhu, the two sank to a place thousands of meters underground. Then Gu Xiaoren began to drive the ability of heaven to open things and collect the underground gold energy and certain metal substances.

The gold energy and metal matter within a radius of several thousand meters were pulled and turned into golden light, swarming from all directions through soil layers, rocks, and groundwater.

The surroundings of Gu Xiaoren were shining with golden light, and countless light spots were piled up. Soon a huge golden orb was formed underground, wrapping Gu Xiaoren and Atai inside.

The field of view is full of gold, and a large number of light spots begin to granulate, then condense with each other, and gradually become melting metal blocks.

These metal blocks are square and have a unified length and weight standard. In addition to metals such as gold, silver, copper and iron, there are also some rare metal substances.

Atae took the mustard beads handed over to him by Gu Xiaoren and then filled them inside. Soon, the mustard beads could no longer be filled.

Gu Xiaoren threw the remaining metal blocks into the Kingdom of Consciousness.

It was not until the surrounding gold energy gradually became thinner that the two left the ground, but most of the mine was abandoned, and at least ten miles of radius there was no residue of metal material left.

After returning to Gu Mansion, Gu Xiaoren began to prepare to renovate this area.

The ability of [Living and Leisure Room] is a way to revitalize the building and then superbly become a way. At that time, the main body of the building itself is a barrier. In addition to strengthening the material structures such as the ground, wall and roof, it can also be linked to each other to form a large closed area similar to a magic array, which has the effects of Sumeru mustard seeds, automatic purification, protection and other functions.

The first step is to activate.

Well, it is already a kind of ability to turn decay into magic. After all, letting ordinary brick and tile and wooden houses get rid of the limitations of dead objects, and even have simple wisdom, is simply making the house become a spirit.

Of course, it is necessary to be reborn before becoming a spirit. The materials prepared by Gu Xiaoren were all used to help these buildings be reborn.

These so-called transformations are not about demolishing and rebuilding these buildings, but about renovating them in forty ways, such as direction, path, height, depth of eaves, stone walls, inscriptions, etc., which is definitely a tedious task.

Not to mention the second step of extraordinaryness, it is almost a "blood transfusion".

Gu Xiaoren felt that based on his current ability, it would probably take at least half a month to complete the renovation of the entire Gu Mansion area.

But the advantage is that after he makes the entire Gu Mansion extraordinary, even if he leaves this place in the future, he can move easily if he lives in another place.

That's right, it's the kind of moving in the actual sense, that can even move the land of a house.

If you have no place to live in a wilderness, you can take out a residential area with a wave of your hand and then take it back when you leave.

Carry Gugong with you, prevent insects, snakes and theft.

Yes, it's very convenient.

So even if it's time to work hard, Gu Xiaoren has to continue to do it patiently.

On this day, Gu Xiaoren had just started and completed the revitalization of the first building, and then saw four people walking over from a distance.

In addition to the butler Uncle Gu and Atai, two other guys approached with a smile, and one of them squatted in front of him.

"What are you here?" Gu Xiaoren raised his eyes and said.

"Come and see your elder Gu."

It was Chen Qiudun and Yu Baizhou.

Seeing Gu Xiaoren wearing a straw hat on his head, gloves with fingers exposed on his hands, and colorful mud spots all over his body, Chen Qiudun couldn't help but tease: "Has Mr. Gu changed his career to be a brick brickmaker?"

"Yes." Gu Xiaoren said lightly while grinding the rhinoceros horns and fangs into powder: "It's probably a bit of trouble, so he plans to work hard and not think about it."

Chen Qiu suddenly disbelief and said in confusion: "What trouble do you have?"

"There's too much money..." Gu Xiaoren shook his head and sighed: "I don't know how to spend it."

The two people on the opposite side changed their expressions and couldn't help but twitch.

Even looked at each other.

Damn, listen, is this human word?

Look, I said you shouldn't owe it to you.
