"Pang--Supreme Elder Pang!" A Nine Mountains Sect disciple came over, his hand holding Spiritual Energy Detector was trembling slightly, and he couldn't speak clearly, "There is nothing found here."
Uncle-Master Pang's eyes were shining with silver light, his face was full of dust, his hands and feet were cold, and he was also a little disappointed in his heart. As a member of Grand Elders Committee, he naturally knew that Nine Mountains had a big financial problem now, so he put his hope in the virgin land of Underworld.
For this Underworld resource census, he, the Taishang elder, personally came with hundreds of disciples.
He is proficient in Void-Piercing Spirit Eye and has experience in the Hundred Immortals Alliance investigations. He thinks he is the most suitable person among the Taishang elders to do this job.
But to be honest, this mission was more difficult than he imagined.
"Thank you for your hard work--" Uncle-Master Pang took out a glass bottle, opened the mouth of the bottle, flicked his finger, and Spirit Water in the bottle turned into drizzle and fell on the faces of the disciples from the exploration team beside him.
"Thank you, Elder Taishang!"
"It's Qingyan and the others who should be thanked." Uncle-Master Pang shook his head and cursed again, "Underworld is such a lousy place!"
In Underworld exploration, the first major problem is the environment:
Although they knew before that Underworld was in a special situation and was not suitable for monks to practice, but after staying for a long time, they discovered that Underworld was not only unsuitable for monks, but also unsuitable for living people!
Underworld Yin Wind is everywhere. This wind penetrates through all the orifices of the monk's body and can corrode the monk's flesh and blood meridians.
Staying in Underworld for a long time is harmful to a monk's legal body. Even a Spirit Transformation monk like him has a chill in his body.
Fortunately, Mu Qingyan and the others worked urgently to solve the problem and extracted a kind of Spirit Water, which can repair the damage caused by Yin Wind.
Uncle-Master Pang also put a little Spirit Water on his forehead, feeling warm all over his body, his hands and feet no longer stiff as before, and he looked at the other disciples again.
"Underworld--It is indeed very poor." Sun Daoyu whispered, as if he didn't want others to hear, "Yan True Person didn't lie. This Underworld really has no spiritual material at all."
Uncle-Master Pang was silent and even more depressed.
If the environment at Underworld is not friendly to them, that's okay - the problem is that Underworld is indeed a place where birds don't shit.
There is Spiritual Qi, but if you want to find any spiritual materials, spiritual herbs, or spiritual beasts, it is just a dream.
They have been here for so long and haven't found anything valuable.
This is the biggest problem.
"The disciple thought that in an environment like Underworld, except for ghosts, it is impossible for any other creature to survive. Without spiritual beasts and spiritual grass, it is actually normal." Sun Daoyu said softly, "I'm afraid the same is true for spiritual materials."
Uncle-Master Pang actually had the same conjecture in his mind, but he didn't say much. He just shook his head and said, "Extract the Yin soil from this place and send it back to the sect for inspection."
"Yes!"
Sun Daoyu waved his hand, and the two Divine Firmament Warship behind him stretched out their mechanical arms to collect the soil and send it to the warships.
After preliminary processing, the disciples put it into the warehouse in the ship.
Uncle-Master Pang nodded. Seeing that these disciples were not in good condition, he cleared his throat, spit out a cold breath Yin Wind, and said loudly, "I know everyone is suffering, and I also want to go back - but we can't miss anything!"
"Especially if there are any abnormalities, you must be extremely careful!"
"Everyone, please be careful!"
All the disciples looked at me and I looked at you, and they all responded, "Yes!"
Uncle-Master Pang keeps his word and truly relies on his two legs to trek in Underworld for eight years. Every inch of land and every corner of Underworld has his footprints.
But still found nothing.
"Supreme Elder Pang." Yan Changge looked at Uncle-Master Pang squatting next to River of Forgetfulness, with a somewhat admiring tone, "The emperor said, this Underworld, the ghosts will be Reincarnation, and even the spiritual power will be blown away by Yin Wind. There is no environment for the production of spiritual materials, Supreme Elder Pang, please stop working."
Uncle-Master Pang turned around, Yan Changge was secretly shocked. This Supreme Elder Pang used to be a bit fat, but now his face has actually lost weight.
You know, this is Spirit Transformation monk, and it would not have been possible for such a change to occur unless his mind was consumed too much.
Uncle-Master Pang said nothing. Yan Changge, as a confidant of Nine Nether Emperor, also knew the situation of the Nine Mountains Sect: "Now that Vast Sun Mountain has been cleaned up, Supreme Elder Pang, you don't have to be so anxious--"
"Not enough."
Yan Changge was speechless for a moment, then sighed, "But Supreme Elder Pang, you have searched all over Underworld, and there is nothing there?"
"I haven't searched all over--"
Yan Changge was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled. "Even Yin Mountain Emperor asked you to see it, so where else can there be -"
"Here! I haven't found it here yet." Uncle-Master Pang pointed at River of Forgetfulness in front of him, decisively.
"Supreme Elder Pang Think twice! This is River of Forgetfulness. Inside is Weak Water. It is difficult for all living beings to float like a goose feather." Yan Changge was frightened. "When we monks enter it, we have to lose our intelligence and forget our past. This place is called River of Forgetfulness. If it gets contaminated by Weak Water, we can't get out at all and can only drown in it."
Looking at Uncle-Master Pang's expression, he was obviously very interested in Weak Water and seemed to want to go in and take a look.
"I know."
"No, Supreme Elder Pang, you don't know." Yan Changge saw his face and eyes still staring at Weak Water, and hurriedly advised, "This Weak Water flows through the world, and it is the dividing line between the Yin world and the Yang world. If you enter, you will die. Even the emperor dare not set foot in this place easily."
Yan Changge was very anxious - although this Pang True Person's cultivation level was not high, he had countless disciples in the Nine Mountains Sect, was very popular, and was deeply trusted by Zheng Fa.
If something happened at Underworld, although Nine Mountains Sect might not blame it, it would still be a big deal.
Uncle-Master Pang stared at Weak Water, the silver light in his eyes turned, and said, "In this way, this Weak Water is probably one of the most wonderful places of Underworld."
No, why do you become more interested the more I talk?
"Supreme Elder Pang, please don't be impulsive! You can't get in with this River of Forgetfulness!"
"Who said I'm going in?" Uncle-Master Pang was stunned and looked at Yan Changge with just one sentence on his face. Do you think I'm stupid?
"--True Person, you said you want to explore this Weak Water?"
Uncle-Master Pang smiled, waved his hand, and a small metal man appeared in front of everyone.
"Is this a--a puppet?"
"Yes, didn't I say it before? Xie Taishang came up with the idea of Unmanned Warship. Later, Menzhong got the inspiration and created this kind of exploration puppet."
Yan Changge could not easily come out as Underworld. Hearing this, he became even more curious and looked at the puppet in front of him.
"This puppet actually borrowed some of the Tianhe Sect's flying sword and weapon refining methods, oh, and Ten Directions All-Hearing from Old Han, which has very strong detection capabilities." Uncle-Master Pang patted the puppet's head and said, "Although this thing is new, it can also explore the Weak Water river for me."
As he spoke, Uncle-Master Pang moved his hand, and a light curtain appeared in front of him.
There were actually several of them in the light curtain.
"Is this what the puppet saw?"
Yan Changge suddenly said.
Uncle-Master Pang nodded and grinned. "We Nine Mountains Sect disciples have never appreciated risking one's life--"
Yan Changge looked at the little puppet swaying here and there, and twitched the corner of his mouth. He knew who the one who was trying to kill was his family Founder.
Uncle-Master Pang waved his hand at the puppet, and the gadget ran two steps, assumed a diving posture, and fell into Weak Water without hesitation.
The scenery in the light curtain changed.
The dim yellow liquid surged in the light curtain, without any sound at all. Weak Water The river was completely silent.
Next to the light curtain, there are some numbers and patterns.
"This is--"
"They are all data, this is the temperature, the one on the right is the Spiritual Qi index, this number is the depth, the puppet seems to be pulled by something, and then falls down, this is--" Uncle-Master Pang introduced, suddenly paused and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"This is the completeness of each part of this puppet--" Uncle-Master Pang said, pointing to several light beams that were descending visibly to the naked eye.
"What do you mean?" Yan Changge was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood, "This Weak Water also has a corrosive effect on puppets?"
Uncle-Master Pang gritted his teeth. "This puppet has eighteen sets of defenses engraved on it Method Formula. I didn't expect it to be so fast--"
Yan Changge shook his head and said, "Weak Water is not only harmful to monks and spiritual beasts, but it may also have some corrosive effects on Law Treasure."
The smile on Uncle-Master Pang's face faded as he watched the puppet fall in Weak Water.
But Weak Water looks like a river, but only when you go to the bottom of the water do you realize that it is boundless and bottomless, deeper than an ocean.
The damage suffered by the puppet is getting bigger and bigger, but the light screen is still monotonous and dim.
"What is this?"
Suddenly, a figure slowly crossed from left to right in the light curtain. This figure's face was ulcerated and his eyes were white, which shocked everyone.
Yan Changge breathed a sigh of relief, "The emperor said that the dead in all the worlds will lose their physical bodies in Weak Water, even Dao Fruit monks are no exception."
"You mean, that person just now was Dao Fruit?"
Uncle-Master Pang was shocked.
"Exactly, the physical body of a monk under Dao Fruit generally cannot exist in Weak Water for such a long time." Yan Changge said with a smile, "That's why I dare not let Supreme Elder Pang you come into contact with Weak Water. This thing's damage to the physical body is thousands of times greater than that of Law Treasure."
Uncle-Master Pang nodded slightly, continued to look at the puppet in the light screen, and said a little helplessly, "Unexpectedly, this puppet is completely uncontrollable in Weak Water, and will only fall--"
"This is also one of the weirdest things about Weak Water. Any Method Formula is ineffective. Anyone who comes can only drown at the bottom of the water."
Uncle-Master Pang had no choice but to carefully watch the pictures coming from the puppet.
The further you go to the bottom of the water, the more corpses there are. In addition to monks, there are also various spiritual beasts, all swinging around at the bottom of the Weak Water river. It's horrifying to see.
After a while, the corners of Uncle-Master Pang's eyes lit up and then darkened.
"Did you see that?"
Yan Changge nodded repeatedly, obviously noticing the strangeness on the light screen just now.
After a while, the puppet gradually sank to the bottom of Weak Water, and a bright light filled the light curtain.
Uncle-Master Pang and Yan Changge slowly turned their heads, looked at each other, and opened their mouths, as if they couldn't believe what they saw.
"Spirit Stone?" Nine Nether Emperor suddenly stood up from the palace, "Is there a Spirit Stone mine in Weak Water?"
"It's not just that." Uncle-Master Pang stood in the hall, his eyes shining, "Weak Water, Spirit Stone is being produced!"
"Produced?" Nine Nether Emperor's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Zongnai has been exploring how Spirit Stone was produced. This object is too wonderful to be manufactured." Uncle-Master Pang explained, "Therefore, we have been at a loss. After seeing the situation of Weak Water, Zheng Fa put forward an idea."
"Tell me."
"Spirit Stone, should be the product of the interaction between Weak Water and the monk's legal body or spiritual power."
"How it works, we don't know yet."
"But roughly speaking, it should be that Weak Water has special properties, which washed away the monk's mind, leaving only a mixture of Spiritual Qi and Divine Soul. Therefore, it can engrave runes."
Yan Changge said in confusion, "When Underworld didn't appear before, didn't Xuanwei also have Spirit Stone mine?"
"Who said there was no Underworld before?"
Nine Nether Emperor understood. "So, what you are saying is that the previous Spirit Stone was left behind by High Antiquity. Now that Underworld is established again, Weak Water can produce Spirit Stone again?"
"We guess so."
Nine Nether Emperor's eyes were frighteningly bright. He turned his head and looked at the empty palace, with a kind of joy on his face that came after all the hardships.
Not to mention him, Yan Changge and others were overjoyed - the hard days were over, they were going to get rich overnight!
Nine Nether Emperor was silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and said, "I have said before that no matter what is found, Nine Mountains Sect can use it for his own use."
Yan Changge was dumbfounded and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. Now they are also Nine Mountains Sect's people.
"Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang just wants to talk to you, Emperor, about this matter."
"Talk? What to talk about?" Nine Nether Emperor didn't quite understand.
But Uncle-Master Pang scratched his head and seemed to feel a little embarrassed. "The only thing Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang and Zheng Fa are discussing is that now Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang is helping Zheng Fa break the formation and cannot get away. Emperor, please wait a little longer."
Nine Nether Emperor is even more puzzled. In terms of identity, Supreme Elder Pang is no worse than Zhang Wuyi. Why does he have to wait for Zhang Wuyi to come?
Uncle-Master Pang laughed, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. "It's not the other side, it's mainly that I didn't understand what they said."
"6
Two more years later, Senior Sister Zhang arrived in person at Underworld.
Senior Sister Zhang raised his hand to Nine Nether Emperor and apologized, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"It's okay." Nine Nether Emperor first cared about other things, "Zheng Fa, how is it now?"
"It's safe for now, you don't need my help anymore."
-
Senior Sister Zhang explained, and then said directly, "I came here for the matter of Spirit Stone in Weak Water."
"I said, I'll let you do whatever you want." Nine Nether Emperor waved his hand, as if he didn't care.
"6
,'
Senior Sister Zhang looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
Nine Nether Emperor smiled a little proudly, "I think Nine Mountains Sect wouldn't treat me badly. Underworld is the one."
Even though Nine Nether Emperor speaks boldly, Senior Sister Zhang can tell that no matter what, Weak Water is under the control of Underworld, Nine Nether Emperor, Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
If Nine Nether Emperor is really dissatisfied and cuts off the supply of Spirit Stone, there will be nothing Nine Mountains Sect can do to him in the future.
Senior Sister Zhang shook his head slowly and said helplessly, "We originally wanted to handle this matter according to the Sea Region model, but junior brother has another idea."
"What do you think?"
Nine Nether Emperor asked curiously.
"We are going to build a Heaven-Earth Bank."
"What is heaven and earth?"
Nine Nether Emperor was confused. He finally knew why Uncle-Master Pang said he couldn't understand.
"Heaven-Earth Bank."
"I know the bank." Nine Nether Emperor nodded slightly, "What do you mean, use Spirit Stone as capital to issue bills?"
"No, we already have a currency."
"What?"
"Merit."
When Nine Nether Emperor heard this, he understood a little but was a little confused. Then he heard Senior Sister Zhang continue to explain, "We are going to transfer Nine Mountains's Merit System is expanding and being promoted outside Chaozong. In the future, Merit will be renamed Nine Mountains Currency. Heaven-Earth Bank, which is the issuing organization of Nine Mountains Currency."
"In the future, the value of Nine Mountains Currency will be forcibly anchored to Spirit Stone. Junior Brother is even considering allowing monks to exchange Nine Mountains Currency for Spirit Stone at the bank."
