After listening to Bo Yue's explanation, Miao Yi finally understood why the Black Dragon Division was temporarily stationed here. They had discovered a crystal coin vein in Marquis Tianyuan's territory. It wasn't an ordinary underground vein, but an interstellar vein. In Boyle's words, this was a mineral deposit that had been destroyed by an unknown power of the universe when it was forming, scattering across the star field and hiding on the planets in this region. Currently, there were three planets that had crystal coin mines, but it was still unknown how many planets would have crystal coin mines. They were still determining the distribution, scale, and currency.
While the Heavenly Court's troops were investigating and confirming, the Big Dipper Army was ordered to set up camp here to control the area and prevent other forces from interfering. Every time a planet was confirmed to have a crystal coin mine, the Big Dipper Army would send a troop to guard it to prevent anyone from secretly mining it. Only when the quantity, size, and currency of the mines were confirmed would they hand over the area to the local forces to prevent anyone from pocketing too much.
The difficulty of mining crystal coin mines was relatively high. The crust that was embedded with crystal coins was very hard, and it was too slow to mine using mortals. More importantly, there were not many planets in this area that were suitable for mortals to live on. This meant that most of the planets that contained crystal coins were barren, weightless, airless, and completely exposed in the starry sky. There was no way for mortals to mine them. According to convention, local cultivation sects had to be used to mine them.
The local cultivation sects would not dig for free either. They would definitely be compensated accordingly. The Heavenly Court wanted to profit, so the local forces naturally wanted a share of the profits. How could they not have a share of the crystal coin mines found in their territory?
Once everything was settled, the Big Dipper Army's garrison mission would be completed, and they would then leave.
Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi were now members of the Big Dipper Army, as well as the commanders of the troops. It was their responsibility to make the above arrangements.
After a round of instructions, Bo Yue summoned someone over and arranged for Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi's subordinates to join the Left Supervisory Guard. Zhan Ruyi also had a quota of ten subordinates. Her quota was full, but Miao Yi only had Yang Qing, Xu Tangran, Yang Zhaoqing, Yan Xiu, and Hai Pingxin to make up half of Zhan Ruyi's quota.
Miao Yi was rather jealous. When he saw Zhan Ruyi's troops rushing up the mountain, he realized that they were all Rainbow Lotus cultivators. It was obvious that they weren't troops from Sky Avenue, but were supported by the forces behind them. This was the difference in family background. You could only be envious.
Vice General Manager Bo then arranged for someone to escort Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi to their respective stations.
"Niu Youde!" As the group rushed out into space, they suddenly heard Zhan Ruyi's shout. Miao Yi and the others turned around, only to see Zhan Ruyi pointing a finger at them with a cold smile on his face. "I'll definitely pay a visit another day. What do you think?"
"It's better if you don't pay me a visit. I'm not that familiar with you. You're not welcome here!" Miao Yi bluntly replied. He couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to him. With a wave of his hand, everyone continued on their way.
Zhan Ruyi, who had once again humiliated herself, gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke. The feeling of being slapped in the face time and time again was unbearable to outsiders …
Planet Six Fingers, the base of the Black Tiger Flag.
Although there were not many planets in this Star Field that were suitable for human habitation, there were not many planets in this Star Field. However, the headquarters of a commander naturally had to be stationed in a better place.
Relatively speaking, it was only slightly better. After all, there weren't many choices in this area.
Six Fingers School, a school with close to ten thousand disciples. Originally, Planet Six Fingers was just a nameless planet with a harsh environment. There was no one living on the planet. Not even a blade of grass grew on the planet, and there was no air that could be breathed normally. Later on, the founder of Six Fingers School, Six Fingers, came here and carried out various large-scale modifications, such as burning away harmful gases. He turned the icy plains into rivers, and then planted trees and the like on a large scale. Only then did the weather of heaven and earth begin to circulate. It took a lot of effort to transform the planet into a habitable environment.
According to the laws of heaven. Another habitable planet was created for the Celestial Court. This was a great merit, and logically speaking, it should be rewarded handsomely. However, when the Celestial Court sent someone to inspect the environment here, the reward was gone, and the planet was directly given to Six Fingers as a reward.
Why? Even when the Celestial Court sent someone to be an official here, no one was willing to come. Such a huge planet, yet only two River Gods and two Mountain Gods were thrown over. This was evident.
More than ninety percent of the entire planet was desolate and uninhabited. Only the two banks of a river flowed through had green vegetation. The other places could not grow anything at all. At the end of the day, it was because of the lack of water. The only river was formed by setting up an array on the icy plains to increase the sunlight that melted the icy plains. After the water evaporated in this godforsaken place, it would only form rain clouds above the icy plains. In other words, only the icy plains on the entire planet would rain. No one had ever seen what rain looked like in other places. It would be a wonder if living things could grow there.
Six Fingers originally wanted to use this merit to become an official in the Celestial Court, but who would have thought that all he would get was a lousy planet. It would be a pity to waste such a huge planet. If no one took care of it, it would definitely become useless in the future. He didn't want to waste his many years of hard work, so he decided to establish a sect here and recruit disciples everywhere. Finally, the Six Fingers Sect's current grandeur came into being. Not to mention, living here alone, it would be difficult for the Mountain Gods and River Gods to not have a good relationship with the Six Fingers Sect. Other places were too desolate, and the few Gods practically lived and ate in the Six Fingers Sect for long periods of time, making them look like disciples of the Six Fingers Sect. Those who were exiled to become officials here were definitely not in a position of power. The higher-ups couldn't be bothered to care about this desolate place, and no one would fight for their positions. All they had to do was report the situation of Planet Six Fingers regularly. As for the Mountain Gods and River Gods, no matter how insignificant they were, they were still officials of the Celestial Court. With this tiger's skin, no one would dare to come here and make things difficult for the Six Fingers Sect. Being isolated and remote, the Six Fingers Sect had actually profited from this disaster.
After the Six Fingers Sect's cultivation broke through to the Colored Lotus realm, they were finally recruited by the Celestial Court as they wished.
Currently, from the sky, the green vegetation on both sides of the river was like a thin ribbon, very eye-catching. The other areas were mostly barren rocks or loess plateaus.
When the Six Fingers Sect chose their location, they must have chosen the best location here. The river split into two, and the mountain forest that flowed through it was verdant and lush. The ancient trees towered into the sky, and the flowers bloomed like a brocade. They had even purposely built a few waterfalls, and the pavilions on the mountain looked just like what they used to be. It was good enough to just look at this area, as long as one didn't divert their gaze to other places.
Now, these areas had also been temporarily requisitioned by the Black Tiger Banner. The previous Grand Commander of the Black Tiger Banner couldn't find a suitable place to stay in the temporarily divided control area, so he directly requisitioned the Six Fingers Sect's encampment.
All the disciples of the Six Fingers Sect had been chased downstream to drink the water used to wash their feet. The Black Tiger Banner refused to allow them to go upstream. They couldn't possibly make them drink the water used by the tens of thousands of disciples of the Six Fingers Sect, could they? How disgusting would that be! The Six Fingers Sect could only pinch their noses and bear with it. No matter how close the Mountain Deities and River Deities were to them, they wouldn't dare to show off their might in front of the Celestial Emperor's Imperial Guards.
However, not long after the previous Grand Commander became a villain, the higher-ups suddenly issued a transfer order and transferred him away. The famous Niu Youde was to take over his position.
Miao Yi and his party descended from the sky and landed outside the Six Fingers Sect's mountain gate. The entire Six Fingers Sect had already been protected by the Black Tiger Banner's defensive grand formation. Outsiders were not allowed to trespass. This grand formation was the same as the one at the Citadel Palace in Celestial Street. However, the Citadel Palace's grand formation had never been moved after it was set up, while the Black Tiger Banner's grand formation was often deployed along with the army.
"Vice Commander Hu, what brings you here?" The Black Tiger Banner's garrison general outside the Six Fingers Sect's mountain gate chuckled at Hu Gouyu. However, his gaze was fixated on Miao Yi and the others behind Hu Gouyu.
Hu Gouyu was a thin, dark-skinned man. He was the Black Dragon Division's Middle Army's Vice Commander. He had come under Boyue's orders to escort Miao Yi to his new post. The other Vice Commander of the Middle Army had been sent by Boyue to escort Zhan Ruyi to his new post.
Hu Gouyu smiled faintly. "Don't ask a question you already know the answer to. Why are you sealing the array gate? Your Black Tiger Banner's new Grand Commander is here. Hurry up and open the array gate to welcome him. "
"Oh! Please wait a moment. The grand formation transcendent artifact is currently being managed by the two Vice Commanders. They were worried that something might happen before the handover, so they sealed the array gate. I'll contact them right away. " The garrison general quickly took out the Starbell connection, but his gaze was fixated on Miao Yi, who was behind Hu Gouyu.
How shameful! After arriving, everyone had changed into their official battle armor. Miao Yi, whose grade had been lowered, was now a Six Segments Minor General. Yang Qing and the others behind him were even worse off. Xu Tangran was very embarrassed. He was … a First Segment General. The purple armor on his body was much more eye-catching than Miao Yi's golden armor. He was originally wearing a Five Segments Minor General's golden armor, but Miao Yi said that it was unnecessary after seeing it. He told him to be honest and forced him to change back.
Hu Gouyu's rank was not as high as Miao Yi's. She was a Vice Commander, but she was already a Two Segments Purple Armor General.
The array gate was sealed. They couldn't enter, so everyone could only wait outside.
After a while, the so-called Vice Commanders of the garrison general still hadn't come out. With his hands behind his back, Hu Gouyu frowned and asked through the defensive array, "What's going on with Kang Zhilu and Yao Yuanchu? Why haven't they come out yet? Are they asleep?"
The Kang Zhilu and Yao Yuanchu he mentioned were none other than the two Vice Commanders of the Black Tiger Banner.
The two garrison generals chuckled. The one from before cupped his fists and apologized, "Vice Commander Hu, you can't blame the two Vice Commanders. The two lords went out to inspect the mines. How could they return so quickly? The two lords are already on their way back."
Hu Gouyu was taken aback for a moment. He seemed to realize something and tilted his head to look at Miao Yi behind him. He then turned back and said, "Tell the two of them to hurry up. I still have matters to attend to. I don't have time to waste with you guys."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The guard took out the Starbell again to contact them.
Hu Gouyu turned around and smiled sinisterly. "Commander Niu, it seems we can only wait a little longer."
Miao Yi smiled. "No matter!" His smile was a little deep.
Behind him, Yang Qing slightly furrowed his brows. Before coming here, Vice Commander Zhen Boyue had already contacted them and told them that Niu Youde would be arriving today. But now, they couldn't even get through the door.
Yang Zhaoqing and Xu Tangran exchanged glances. Even Hai Pingxin was pouting, realizing that someone was up to no good. It was really too obvious.
Yan Xiu was indifferent to this. He continued to stand guard behind Miao Yi quietly. He had followed Miao Yi for many years, and this wasn't the first time he had encountered such a situation. He knew that this wasn't something he had to worry about. Miao Yi would handle it himself.
