Chapter 5 Gold Devouring Ants
Qian Yang left the mountain gate and did not fly directly to Heishi Mountain in the north. Instead, he followed a path that was not very smooth, or simply said that he had gone around a lot and sneaked back to Qingling Mountain Market.
From Kaishanmen to the western foot of Heishi Mountain, even if you take Feige, there is still a four or five day journey. Since you can arrive in half a day, Qian Yang is not in a hurry, but instead plans to buy some items he needs while no one is paying attention.
When Qian Yang came out of Qingling Sect last time, he focused on why he was driven out of the mountain gate. He had no idea about the subsequent itinerary, so he did not rush to spend the spirit stones on his body.
Now that he has a place to settle down and has some preliminary arrangements for the affairs in the future, he prepares his own rations according to his mind's plan.
Everyone knows that Qian Yang is a local bully who has never seen money before. He dared not show off his face when he was going out to spend a lot of money this time. When he was still several miles away from Qingling Mountain, he decisively covered his black robe on his head, then took away Mr. Fei Ge, and sneaked into the market by himself.
It was actually not a good way to go, and I didn't want people to know about shopping. Qian Yang ran away after buying things. He didn't even take off his black robe when he went to Qingling Pavilion. He just glanced at Dad Luo from a distance and didn't even say hello to him. After buying things, Qian Yang sneaked out of the market while it was dark. Until he confirmed that it was impossible for someone to follow him, he took out his big bird and flew into the distance.
Two days later, he entered Iris Town in the same way. As usual, he did not see anyone, but just secretly spent a lot of spirit stones before leaving quietly.
What Qian Yang bought in total is really not worthy of being outsiders. The only thing that can be confirmed is that for a long time in the future, he will no longer have any shopping needs.
In the following days, the satisfied Qian Yang rushed to the road honestly, and during the time he flew to Heishi Mountain, the two hundred small axes on the mountain were still very lively.
These two hundred small axes are all disciples who open the mountain gate, but because the mountain gate really has no cohesion, these disciples’ identities before joining the mountain gate have invisibly divided these disciples into several small groups.
There are 400 disciples in Kaishan Gate. Needless to say, the most elite part of them will naturally belong to Chu Nan and the thirty disciples of the Yuanqing Ling Sect who came to Kaishan Gate with him.
All of these thirty people were in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and even in the Qingling Sect, these people were all elites with names and surnames.
These thirty people were originally scattered in various important positions of Qingling Sect, but were gathered together for the same reason. They all came to Kaishan Gate with an indescribable historical mission. After they arrived at Kaishan Gate, they immediately became backbone of the sect and were definitely the mainstay of Kaishan Gate.
Of course, thirty people couldn't stand the opening of the mountain gate. In fact, before they arrived, when the opening of the mountain gate was planned, there was already a complete team of more than 200 people.
The origins of these more than 200 people are quite complicated, some of which are unknown disciples from Qingling Sect. The so-called unknown disciples refer to the soy sauce party in Qingling Sect, who is not much more than him, and is not much less. Even if such people sneak out of Qingling Sect, they are probably going to be very likely to be more than him.
No one has the time to remember, and only such a person can establish the mountain gate without realizing it.
By the way, Grandma Qiu is the representative of this group of people.
In addition to these small characters from the Qingling Sect, some of the more than 200 people also came from ordinary children from the affiliated families of the Qingling Sect. Of course, most of them were unsatisfactory families. They didn't even know what they were going to open the mountain gate. They were just pointed out for unknown reasons and became the bottom cornerstone of the mountain gate.
In addition to these two groups of people, the more than 100 people left in the mountain gate were originally ordinary casual cultivators. These people were detected to be able to convert the practices and Wanhua Jue seamlessly, so they picked up a big advantage and entered the mountain gate. Most of them were not very interested in the Wuliang Valley of the Qingling Sect, and just wanted to do the tasks step by step, accumulate contributions and exchange techniques, that's all.
In addition to the above mentioned people, there is another person who has a very interesting identity. This person is named Tan Bufan, who is the disciple of Wulianggu who was detected to be in line with the Wanhua Jue.
This unlucky Tan Bufan was also trying to kill himself. He was not very comfortable in Wuliang Valley, and was fooled by several fellow disciples to open the mountain gate to join in the fun. Who knew that he accidentally became the fuse for the two sects to turn against each other. You can imagine that when he was detained after his test of his skills, he was running wildly in his heart.
Of course, Tan Bufan’s life at the opening of the mountain gate will not be easy, and even his minimum freedom is limited. We can talk about this slowly in the future.
This is how the four hundred disciples of the open mountain gate were formed. This time, half of the people in the sect went to Black Stone Mountain. Of course, there were all kinds of people among the two hundred people, and they were not alone in their hearts. There were constant contradictions in living together.
The matter about these 200 small axes has to start two months ago.
At that time, new stories about the iron giant ape and the red ants appeared on Black Stone Mountain. At first, this matter was only circulated among the casual cultivators, but later it slowly spread to nearby families and sects.
The casual cultivators had no channels to obtain information, and they could not make any noise when they were spread. In the end, they couldn't figure out what kind of ulterior motive relationship the monkey and the ant were.
But the knowledge inheritance between the family and the sect is very different. Even those who are uncontrollable in the sect like Opening the Mountain Gate can clearly explain the relationship between the monkey and the ant. This person is Qian Yang's colleague, Chu Nan's work partner, and the invincible and understanding Grandma Qiu.
The first person to learn about this was an ordinary disciple who happened to catch up with the mission of Black Stone Mountain. On the way back, he heard that several small families were competing for the ownership of the ants with the casual cultivators. After returning to the sect, the disciple casually talked about this matter to a third-level deacon.
The deacon had a much higher vision than that of ordinary disciples. Although he couldn't tell what the ant was, he immediately felt that the news was of some value, and then began to report it layer by layer. Soon, the news was placed on Chu Nan's table.
To be honest, Chu Nan didn't have much feeling about this news at the beginning. He was busy every day and really didn't have the energy to care about the trash between the small family and the casual cultivator.
But since the news has been put in front of him, it proves that several deacons under him think that this information about the ants is of certain value.
Chu Nan is also a novice deacon, with no experience at all, and he has never been able to do things. Because of this reason, he has to be more cautious on weekdays, for fear of delaying any major matters. Therefore, he must do his best to make it clear and clear whenever there are materials reported to him.
Chu Nan did something very well, that is, he never pretended to understand things he didn't understand. He didn't know what the ant did, so just ask! As for whom? The old lady who opened the mountain gate summoned him eight times a day, and he just asked casually. Chu Nan was not afraid of being embarrassed when Grandma Qiu, anyway, she had no shame at all.
Facing the humble request from Deacon Chu, Grandma Qiu's face was filled with joy. What she was most helpless in her life was that her knowledge had no place to use, so when she saw Chu Nan asking about the idea, Grandma Qiu's words suddenly opened and couldn't stop.
In the Tianyuan Continent, there is an extremely rare ant called the gold-eating ant. This ant itself is an ordinary insect and has no strength at all. It can create magical creatures, but the physiological structure and living habits of this ant are very different from other ants.
The gold-eating ants like to eat earth and rocks containing certain metal substances the most. After eating, the strange physiological mechanism will purify the metal substances they eat before excreting them. The excrement of these gold-eating ants is called "ant-gold" by monks.
The specific material of ant gold is closely related to the proportion of metal substances contained in the earth and stones eaten by the gold-eating ants. However, no matter the specific metal content of these earth and stones, as long as they are rearranged and combined by the magical digestive system of the gold-eating ants, ant gold can often reflect its unique quality and performance, and most of them can become high-quality main materials for making spiritual weapons or magic weapons.
Gold-eating ants are very rare, and their appearance is not different from ordinary big red ants. Moreover, their excrement is usually buried deep underground. Therefore, even if monks encounter gold-eating ants, it is difficult for them to associate them in other aspects. This also makes ant gold in the Tianyuan Continent quite rare and the price remains high.
Ant gold is rare, but it is not completely unrecognizable. The focus of finding ant gold is on the body of the gold-eating ants that produce them. The gold-eating ants look very special on the surface, but because of the strange physiological characteristics of their own, some foodies who feed on them often show unusual changes. The most common change is the abnormal improvement of the body's defense.
It is said that the largest ant gold production area in Zhongzhou was finally discovered because the monks encountered a nest of steel-shaped ant eaters. Therefore, when Grandma Qiu heard Chu Nan talk about the iron giant ape, she was 80% sure that a gold-eating ant nest appeared on the Black Stone Mountain.
Ant gold is a good thing. Don’t worry about the yield of the gold-eating ants in the nest. However, in any case, it is a rare supplement for a sect like the open mountain gate. Chu Nan quickly realized this and was busy arranging people to enclose the land.
Grandma Qiu has no objection to the value of ant gold, but the issues she needs to consider are much more complicated than Chu Nan.
