"I'll go, I'll be the first to sign up. Ten spirit stones a day is not a small amount! I dug for a few months in the past and did not find any ebony. "
"Me too! You're right, ebony is not easy to dig. Even if it's dug out, it's only a low-grade spiritual material and not enough time and money. Only if you're lucky can you find high-grade ebony. "
In just a short while, there were already thirty people signing up.
Qin Di directly gave everyone ten low-grade spirit stones and instructed them to dig.
From time to time, the voices of these people could be heard.
"I heard that the day before yesterday, Senior Brother Zhang dug out a Level 8 spiritual wood and offered it to the sect. Not only did he receive an amazing reward, he was even promoted to an inner sect disciple!"
"Senior Brother Zhang is lucky. That's a Level 8 spiritual wood, it's very rare. "
"In recent years, good ebony has been getting fewer and fewer. I heard that 30 years ago, someone dug out immortal spiritual wood that can be made into a Level 1 spiritual treasure! Nowadays, it's impossible to find that kind of immortal spiritual wood anymore! "
"Hey, what immortal spiritual wood, to be able to dig out a Level 4 or 5 spiritual wood is already good luck."
In the beginning, these people were just glad that they found a good job to earn spirit stones. Later, some people secretly mocked and whispered to each other, "Where do you think this kid came from? Why did he spend so many spirit stones to hire people to dig on the mountain? Is he digging for ebony or looking for treasures? "
"Hehe, who knows! I heard that some descendants of immortals learned the Aura Divination Technique from somewhere and came to the mountain to look for treasures. Who knew that they would dig out mountain rocks and soil. After digging a few more times, he'll know that it's a waste of effort! "
"Don't say anymore, if you have spirit stones, you're a good person! There aren't many good people these days. "
Qin Di did not care what these people said and sat at the side, slowly drinking enlightenment tea and reading a book in his hand.
He had obtained over a hundred Heavenly Caves from the Three Lives Island, and he had already opened some of them. He had found a batch of golden books and jade scrolls, which he moved into the library of Epang Palace to read in his spare time.
Thirty people dug for two days and only dug 500 feet. Many people dug while shaking their heads, "There's nothing, it's all sand and stones!"
"How can there be ebony in this place? That's impossible! "
There were also people who kindly reminded him, "Young man, forget it. Hurry up and go somewhere else! Not here, you can't waste money like this! "
Qin Di smiled, "There are treasures down, top quality ebony, top quality ebony, top quality ebony."
That person stared, "If there are top quality ebony, I'll swallow it!"
"Don!" Qin Di said, "Don't! You swallowed Wu Mu. Even if I am willing, the Divine Arrow Sect is not! "
The man laughed and said, "I'm the outer sect elder of the Godly Arrow Sect, Ning Guangxia. I've been digging Ebony for many years! "I'm" Elder. "Sect Now," I'll "Qin." The "Elder". ".
Qin Di took a good look at the other party and discovered that it was a short and fat middle-aged man. He looked like a merchant doing business and looked rather amiable, so he said, "So it's Elder Ning! In two days, I'll dig out the best ebony. You have to let me pick out the best, I also want to make spiritual arrows! "
"Of course!" "According to the rules of our Sect, the one who excavates the ebony can pick the spiritual material. You can take them with you, or you can ask our artificers to forge them into spirit arrows for you. You only need to pay with some spirit materials. "
"Oh? How many spiritual materials do I have to pay? "
"One out of two. If we make ten spiritual arrows, we have to keep five. "
Qin Di thought about it and said, "Half is not a lot, but I wonder what grade of Spirit Arrow your sect can make?"
Ning Guangxia laughed, "No matter what level of ebony you excavate, it can be made into spiritual arrows of the same level. Our Sect Now looks like a mid-level sect, but we have a rich heritage of millions of years. There's another Sect Above Spirited Mountain, but it's just a branch. We're the real origin of the Sect Now! "
Qin Di couldn't help but be shocked: "It's actually like this! That's new. "
Ning Guangxia smiled and explained, "There are many sects on Spirited Mountain. Some came from the Upper Realm, while some came from the lower reaches of the Tong Tian River. Our Sect Now belongs to the latter. Ultimately, the spiritual energy here is getting thinner and thinner. Once you reach the Void Step, you have to leave this place and go to Spirited Mountain to cultivate. Because of this, although our Godly Arrow Sect's main branch is here, the true experts are all in Mount Ling. "
Qin Di nodded, "I understand."
Ning Guangxia continued, "Although the experts are gone, the inheritance is still here. Ebony arrows of high quality can only be produced here."
"So, the experts in Spirited Mountain still have to get arrows from here?"
"Our Sect Now also has a big blacksmithing hall in Spirited Mountain. We're researching how to use other materials to make spiritual flying arrows, but we haven't made much progress so far."
"That's a pity." Qin Di thought of the celestial arrow he dug out. It was shiny silver. He didn't know what kind of metal it was made of, but it wasn't ebony.
Ning Guangxia noticed that Medium Rare seemed to be very talkative, as he continued, "Our Grandmaster from Spiritual Mountain often writes letters to us, asking us to provide flying arrows of spiritual treasures. But without spiritual materials, we can only stare helplessly."
"Of course. Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice."
"Our Sect Now has a special inheritance that relies on bows and arrows. As long as you have a good bow and arrows, you can practice every day to improve your skills. Without spiritual arrows, the progress of your skills will be very slow. Because of this, be it Golden Core Enlightened Masters, Nascent Soul Enlightened Masters, or Void Step and Dao Reunion Grandmasters, they all want a set of high-grade flying arrows. "
Qin Di smiled, "If that's the case, why don't we dig three feet into the ground? Wouldn't we be able to find a good ebony by then?"
Ning Guangxia quickly waved his hand, "No, no. The sect has a rule that we can't dig everywhere. Otherwise, we might damage the roots of the Gold-Threaded Nanmu on the mountain. This is also the foundation of our Sect Now. If we break it, we'll be done for. "
Qin Di looked left and right and thought to herself, "Luckily I found an empty space, otherwise I would have been stopped by the other party."
Ning Guangxia asked, "Brother, why did you think of digging on the mountain? Normally, after the Gold-Threaded Nanmu falls, it will only roll to the lower ground, then go with the water and sink to the bottom. But there's no ebony on the mountain! "
Qin Di smiled and said, "I have a kind of Qi Observation Technique. When I see the light of treasures here, I'm sure I can dig out something good."
"Then I can only wish you good luck!"
Qin Di thought for a moment and asked, "Elder Ning, if your sect's arrows are made of ebony, what about the bow? Where do you get a good bow? " As he said this, he couldn't help but think of the Sunset Bow. Although the Sunset Bow in his hand was rank six, it was only a replica. The bow arm was made from the ribs of a Celestial Grade Fire Dragon, and the bowstring was tanned from the tendons of a rank seventeen Hui Dragon.
In recent years, the Sunset Bow had been constantly nourished, calcined by immortal fire, and soaked in the Yin Spring Water. It was showing signs of upgrading to rank seven, but the bowstring was not made of enough material. If the bowstring could be changed, the grade of the Sunset Bow could be greatly improved, and it could even become an immortal weapon.
Ning Guangxia answered, "Ebony is too hard, not a good material to make a bow. Two thousand miles west from here, there is a forest of purple shirts, which is also the property of our Sect Leader. Purple shirts are both hard and flexible, and the bow made from them depends on the grade of the purple shirts. Nowadays, ordinary spiritual woods are easy to find, but high grade immortal spiritual woods are too rare. Fortunately, our sect still has some in stock, and we can barely make a good bow of rank one or two spiritual treasure. But it's still priceless, and only a few grand elders can get their hands on it. "
"Is there a bow made from dragon bones?"
"Yes, there is. I heard that the Spirited Mountain uses dragon bones to make bows. But dragon bones are not easy to get. "
Qin Di thought, Looks like the Sunset Bow I got was from the Spirited Mountain's Sect Leader of the Spirited Mountain. That fallen Dao Integration Perfected Monarch must have been a big shot in the Sect Leader of the Spirited Mountain, or else he wouldn't have kept a rank six bow and seven ebony arrows in the cave.
Seeing that he wasn't listening, Ning Guangxia didn't try to persuade him anymore. He just sat not far away and watched, in case the digging area was too large and damaged the roots of the Phoebe trees in the nearby mountains.
The digging was still going on. After five days, they had dug more than a thousand feet, but there was still no sign of the ebony.
Qin Di scattered a large number of spirit stones, and the people who were digging had nothing to complain about. They even wanted to dig as deep as possible, but in their hearts, they regarded him as a fool, or an extremely stubborn prodigal son.
Ten days later, the pit had been dug to a depth of one thousand eight hundred and ninety feet, and more and more people came to watch. Everyone was talking at once, discussing spiritedly.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"
"Digging ebony!"
"How could there be ebony in this place?"
"God knows, did you see that kid? He's just a kid holding a book and pretending. He was the one who hired people to dig it out! "
"Tsk tsk, this is crazy!"
"Yeah, we've dug so deep, and there's still no sign of ebony. It's even more impossible that there's ebony down there!"
"Of course! We used to dig three hundred feet at most, how could we dig more than a thousand feet? Not to mention, it's on the hillside, not in a sunken riverbed! "
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Ning Guangxia came to bask in the sun on time, looking at Qin Di with pity in his eyes. He thought, Sigh, this kid is really crazy. He'll probably leave after he spends all his spirit stones, right?
There weren't that many onlookers, but there were still no less than a hundred people. Some even flew over from time to time to take a look, and then flew away again.
That afternoon, a cry of surprise finally came from the pit, "Oh my god, we've dug up ebony!"
"Oh my god! This is a peerless ebony! The tree is too thick, only a part of it has been exposed, and it's already more than twenty feet deep! "
