Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 403 Mining and Brick Making

"Ah? Ah, hahahaha." Deng Chanyu, who was just about to use the five-colored divine light to brush the mountain away, was stunned when he found that Mount Xumi was a bit heavy and realized that this mountain was a giant mountain mixed with the elements of gold and earth. He did not expect that there would be an immortal in such a desolate Mount Xumi.

She had just taken a look and saw that the mountain was bare and there was not even a blade of grass at the foot of the mountain.

It was a little embarrassing to be discovered while moving the mountain.

"It turns out to be Senior Brother Maitreya. Nice to meet you, Senior Brother."

Maitreya looked at her happily, waiting to see if you had anything else to say.

Deng Chanyu asked sternly, "Brother, why are you not cultivating in Lingshan? Why are you in this dangerous place?"

Maitreya bowed towards the direction of Lingshan Mountain and said, "My master thought that my cultivation was not good enough, so he asked me to chant scriptures and meditate here to suppress the evil spirit and hone my own nature."

He was not stupid, so without saying anything, he brought out the saint first.

Deng Chanyu understood what he meant. "Repairing the sewer" could scare Ao Guang and make Qinglong Mengzhang fully cooperate, but this reason could not intimidate the two saints of the West.

We are already poor, and now you want to move our mountain? Mount Xumi is a true mountain of gold. What are your intentions?
Many thoughts collided rapidly in Deng Chanyu's mind. If such a small matter caused conflict among the saints, it would make her seem incompetent.

Alas, it would be great if you could just let me move the mountain away, but now it’s a bit troublesome.

"Brother, please allow me to report. A few days ago, Chanyu passed by Guixu and saw a bottomless pit underneath. I dived down for over a month and discovered that this pit actually led to the outside of the prehistoric world."

She exaggerated the severity of Guixu tenfold.

Maitreya hummed and ahed, listening as if he were listening to a story.

Maitreya has never been to Guixu and has no plans to go.

Guixu is in the East China Sea, and the East China Sea is the traditional sphere of influence of Xuanmen, or Taoism.

Eastern Taoists don’t care at all about how poor the West is. Similarly, Western Taoists don’t care what happens in the East.

But Maitreya quickly understood. You want to use our Mount Xumi to fill the hole in the seabed? You are so smart!
Why don’t you use your Mount Emei to fill the hole?

Deng Chanyu knew the mountain couldn't be moved, so she took a step back. "Who said I wanted to move the mountain? Do you have any evidence? It's okay for me to dig up a few pieces of metal, right?"
"I plan to make a metal skeleton support inside my stone slurry, and then lay bricks, reed ash and soil on it." She explained her temporarily changed plan. Maitreya did not have the professional knowledge, and he felt dizzy after hearing it, and kept rubbing the rosary in his hand.

The metal of Mount Xumi actually has no name. It looks very much like gold, but it is not gold in the usual sense. In terms of material properties, it is neither iron, copper nor steel. These metals survived the great battle between the Taoist Hongjun and the Demonic Ancestor Luohou in the past, and are all very high-quality materials for refining weapons.

If possible, Maitreya didn't want to give her any of it.

But Deng Chanyu had already given in, and he had to give face to Nuwa and the Eastern Saints.

It was a tangled mess, and he was the one who suffered in the end.

"Excellent, excellent! What you are doing is of great benefit to the world. How can I stop you?" After thinking it over, Maitreya couldn't bring himself to say, "You can dig at will in this mountain." He gestured towards the front mountain and said, "The demonic energy in the back of Mount Xumi is very strong and will take even longer to eliminate. How about digging in the front mountain?"

"Good." Maitreya continued to go back and chant scriptures to exorcise the evil spirits. Deng Chanyu started a furnace at the bottom of the mountain. Her original plan was to move the mountain directly. Now that she couldn't move the mountain, she could only refine some tools by herself to mine.

She forged a total of five pickaxes, four hammers and several chisels.

Mount Xumi is obviously the territory of Western religion, so it would be inappropriate for her to bring in the Giant Spirit or the Dragon King of the East Sea. Nezha was stirring the "stone slurry" by himself and had to go out to cut reeds in the middle of the process. He was very busy.

She went out for a walk and hired the four generals of the Mo family to work for her at a high price of twenty kilograms of Yuli wine per person per day.

Fenghuang is still in charge of Yingzhou, and she can have as much of this wine as she wants.

The four generals of the Demon Family have had connections with Western religions and Buddhism for a long time, but she didn't break the window paper, and now it is just a simple employment relationship.

Dig this mountain for me!

Not all metals dug out from Mount Xumi are suitable for use. Deng Chanyu commanded four strong laborers to dig for ten days, and sometimes she also dug a little herself.

She started working before dawn and kept clanging all day long. The four generals of the Mo family coveted the double drink reward for her night shift, so they worked tirelessly, like iron men, all day and all night without stopping.

Maitreya chanted the sutras silently at first, but later the noise became too loud and he became annoyed. However, he could not leave, so he had to endure it on the spot, and the sound of his chanting became louder and louder.

When he was alone on Mount Xumi before, he was worried that the demonic energy here would affect his spiritual clarity, so he was always very cautious when reciting scriptures. But now? The noise is too loud, even if there were demons, they would be killed by you!
In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and stopped chanting. Come on, give me a pickaxe and I will help you dig!

Question mining, understand mining, and mine yourself.

Maitreya's transformation took only five days.

Yunxiao from Sanxian Island has been working very hard recently. After getting instructions from Nuwa, he refined a large amount of Xirang for Deng Chanyu. As long as the correct refining method is known, the difficulty of refining this thing is just average for a Quasi-Saint. Now all of them have been packed up and sent over by Xiao Qingluan.

Seeing that the junior master of the Deng family started mining again and his appearance continued to decline from 80 points, Xiao Qingluan felt complicated, and her eyes were full of sympathy. Fortunately, her own queen did not follow the Saint Nuwa. The junior master's life must be too hard.

After digging up enough metal ore from Mount Xumi, Deng Chanyu terminated the employment relationship. The four generals of the Mo family were all smiling happily. The Yuli wine from Yingzhou was mellow and fragrant with a long aftertaste. It was truly the best wine. They could harvest thousands of kilograms of fine wine in just ten days of mining. They felt that they had made a fortune.

There is no Buddhism nowadays, and there is no such thing as quitting drinking. Even if there is Buddhism, people like Tang Seng have repeatedly stated that "he is a vegetarian all his life, but he does not quit drinking." The fact that the four generals of the Demon Family drink has nothing to do with their friendship with Western religions.

Return to Dragon Palace.

Nezha's stone slurry and reed ash are also ready.

The master and apprentice resumed their work.

Since we want to improve on the traditional method of filling the Honghuang Jinchūriki, there is no need to stick to the form. Now that we have the "steel bars", it is reasonable to add some bricks.

The rare metals dug out from Mount Xumi were refined into steel skeletons. The remaining ores had slightly inferior hardness and performance, so Deng Chanyu mixed them with sand and gravel to make "bricks".

Because Mount Sumeru is a mountain of gold, the bricks refined from it are all square and light golden in color.
