I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 615 Black Iron Mine
Jiang Wen was naturally unaware that someone had already set their sights on his spirit stones, and even if he did know, he wouldn't care.

After all, there was no one in this divine capital who could stop him, not even the twelve elders of the Azure Sky Tower.

So-called Dao Palace cultivators are, in the end, still Dao Palace cultivators.

For Jiang Wen now, the Dao Palace and the Life Flame are no different. Unless there is a sage among the Hundred Streams tribe, no one can stop him.

After giving the dragon girl a healing pill, Jiang Wen went to find Yan Ming. He was still thinking about the dozen or so black iron mines, planning to refine them into four flying swords to restore the Four Symbols Sword Formation.

The Four Symbols Sword Formation was destroyed in the previous battle with the Giant Spirit God, but four of its killing sword energies still remain. They can be regenerated by infusing them into new flying swords and nurturing them.

If what Yanming said is true, there are about ten Xuan Iron mines, then he can forge even better flying swords.

Yan Ming didn't know why Jiang Wen was so interested in this black iron mine, but he still took him to the mining site of the Rock People.

The Rock People live in the mountains, with craggy mountains behind their settlements.

The mountains are hundreds of feet high, one after another. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to climb them, and they may be hit by falling boulders if they are not careful. Therefore, there are almost no other tribesmen who come here; most of them are warriors of the Rock People tribe who train here.

In the four major tribes of the Fallen Immortal Land, those with the power to overturn rivers and seas are called warriors. Each tribe has its own secret techniques; once the power of one's bloodline is awakened, one can possess abilities beyond ordinary people. The Baixi people call these bloodline warriors. If one can unleash a torrent of blood energy, bursting forth with immense power, one can be considered an elite warrior. If one can project their blood energy outward, transforming it into a protective aura, one can be called a hero.

If one can transform their blood and energy into physical form and return to the body of their ancestors, such a warrior can become a tribal hero.

The twelve elders of the Azure Sky Tower are all heroes from their respective tribes.

Using Yan Ming's strength as a reference, and adding the gatekeepers whose strength could rival that of the Dao Palace that he had seen when passing through the three major barriers, Jiang Wen roughly understood that the strength of the tribal heroes was roughly the same as that of the Dao Palace.

There are few clues further up the chain, and even Yanming doesn't know if there are such people in Baixi.

Putting all that aside, Yanming led Jiang Wen into a cave at the foot of the mountain.

The cave was quite cool, with a refreshing breeze blowing in from time to time. A cave led into the distance, and one could foresee that the end of it was where the Rock People were mining.

The two walked quickly, covering a hundred zhang in the blink of an eye.

After traveling for about half an hour, the distant light spots began to grow larger and larger.

Along the way, Rock People frequently drove back and forth, hauling cart after cart of ore towards the capital. They weren't particularly surprised to see Yan Ming and Jiang Wen's trail; such things were commonplace for them.

Upon exiting the cave, an endless mountain range came into view.

Beneath the heavens and earth, a colossal crater stretching for hundreds of miles resembles a round bowl holding the sky within. The winding mountain roads are densely packed, like the rings of a tree.

Looking down into the giant pit, the bottom, thousands of feet deep, was like an abyss, pitch black and bottomless.

Only countless Rock People came and went, showing no fear of this thousand-foot height.

"Is this the mining area of ​​your Rock People tribe?" Jiang Wen exclaimed, looking at the huge mine pit in front of him.

“Of course, but this is just one of our Rock People’s mining areas. We have three more mines like this one,” Yan Ming said with considerable pride.

"No wonder your Rock People are so rich, able to build houses out of stone," Jiang Wen remarked. He had finally seen what the mines of this world looked like. Compared to the mines of his own world, it was like comparing a candle to the sun.

This mine, which is hundreds of miles wide and thousands of feet deep, alone would be enough for a country to mine for a long time.

However, Jiang Wen didn't pay much attention to these things, and only marveled at the size of the Rockman Clan's mine.

His purpose in coming here was still to see the mine filled with black iron ore; that was what he wanted most. As for the various ores produced in this mine, Jiang Wen glanced at them and lost interest. They were just ordinary metal ores.

"Is that miscellaneous mine here?" Jiang Wen asked Yan Ming impatiently.

“There are four here, and the others are in other mines,” Yanming honestly confessed.

"Excellent, excellent. Please take me there, Brother Yan."

Flying along the mine pit into the distance, Jiang Wen covered several miles in a single leap.

He gave two flying talismans to Yanming so that he could experience the feeling of flying.

Yanming couldn't resist the temptation, so he stuck a flying talisman on his leg and tried to jump into the sky. He almost fell to his death on his first attempt, but Jiang Wen saved him.

With practice, Yanming mastered the knack of flying. The two quickly traversed half of the mine and headed towards the black iron mine.

When Jiang Wen saw the four hills, each nearly a hundred feet high, his eyes were filled with joy.

This hill is made up of countless pebbles of varying sizes, the smallest of which is the size of his head. Each stone contains black iron ore, which is densely packed here.

Jiang Wen was like a mouse that had entered a granary, his eyes shining. Even obtaining a treasure like the Heavenly Strike Sword couldn't compare to the surprise he received from the four black iron mines before him.

"My precious baby, my precious baby," Jiang Wen exclaimed repeatedly.

“Brother Jiang, these four miscellaneous mines are unwanted. If you want them, just take them. I’ve already spoken with the clan elders about this, and they won’t bother you. Although I don’t know what Brother Jiang needs these mines for, just let me know if you have any needs.” Yan Ming said to Jiang Wen generously, completely unaware of the rare treasures he had given him.

Hearing this, Jiang Wen was quite moved. Since the Rock People were so kind, he naturally wouldn't treat them unfairly.

He took out a pill from his storage bag and tossed it to Yan Ming.

"This is the Heaven-Mending Pill, which can replenish congenital deficiencies. If someone born with a defect takes it, it can make up for their shortcomings. If someone like you, who is without defects, takes it, it can enhance your blood and energy, allowing you to reach a higher realm." Jiang Wen explained simply, without revealing all the effects of the Heaven-Mending Pill.

This pill is a high-grade pill from the "Pure Yang Pill Manual," and the required medicinal materials are extremely rare. Jiang Wen only made two, and the one he gave to Yan Ming was one of them.

This elixir is used to replenish one's innate constitution, hence it is called the Heaven-Mending Elixir.

If one's body lacks spiritual roots, taking this elixir can replenish them. If one already possesses spiritual roots, it can replenish their innate qualities and elevate their spiritual root grade.

If this pill were placed in the outside world, all the major sects would fight over it.

Yanming wasn't an expert, but he knew this round object was something special. He happily accepted it, then gave Jiang Wen a few words of advice. He had other things to do and couldn't stay with Jiang Wen.

After Yanming left, Jiang Wen waved his hand and dropped eight purple talismans within a radius of dozens of miles.

He buried four more yellow talismans in the ground, then looked up at the four enormous black iron mines in front of him.

He took out a cauldron from his storage bag and then sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Four black iron mines are enough for me to forge an Azure Dragon Sword." Jiang Wen made a hand gesture and waved towards the four mines.

Suddenly, the heavens and earth shook, and four mines rose from the ground.
