Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 317 Yutanshan Gold Mine

On Fengyuan Mountain.

In the main hall of Fengyuan Wuzong, seven or eight sect masters wearing martial robes sat upright, and the people in charge all had serious expressions.

Sitting at the top was Xue Cheng, the leader of Fengyuan Wuzong, who was in the late Xiantian realm and had a solemn aura.

There are two supreme elders on both sides, both of whom are in the late stage of the innate realm, and their qi, blood and true essence are slowly vibrating.

The few people below who are able to be here are all in the Innate Realm.

Fengyuan Wuzong is the top sect in Beining County, and it was forged in the border area. There are thousands of disciples in the sect, including many masters in the innate realm and the middle and late stages of the acquired realm.

Without such strength, they would not be able to gain a foothold on the border and control the trade routes with Liangyuan Territory.

"Everyone, should our Fengyuan Wuzong get involved in what Mr. Zhang said?" Sect Master Xue Cheng glanced over and spoke in a deep voice.

For a moment, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and no one answered.

Mr. Zhang from Luyang Prefecture, Zhengyang County, came to visit and wanted to invite the masters of Fengyuan Wuzong and more than a thousand disciples to go to Liangyuan Territory.

This kind of request for help is common in the underworld.

This is how the friendship between the various martial arts sects came about.

Besides, disciples of Jianghu sects always have to eat, and the rewards from such tasks can benefit both the sect and the disciples.

If it's just a trip to Liangyuan Territory, this task is not difficult.

Fengyuan Wuzong is located on the border, and most of its disciples have been to Liangyuan.

But what made the entire Fengyuan Wuzong feel embarrassed was that the place they were going to was Yutan Mountain in Liangyuan Territory.

Yutan Mountain is a place where gold is produced, which is well-known in Liangyuan District and even in the surrounding areas.

It is said that there are mountains of gold there, and the gold stored there is innumerable.

The one who controls Yutan Mountain is the first Buddhist sect in Liangyuan Territory, Prajna Zen Temple.

The Prajna Zen Forest cannot be considered a sect, but rather an alliance.

Only when one’s cultivation reaches the innate level, that is, the Buddhist Prajna realm, can one enter the Prajna Zen Forest.

These Buddhist practitioners in the innate realm control some close disciples under their command and form a huge force, which is the Prajna Zen Forest.

There are two masters in the Prajna Zen Temple, especially the strongest one, Master Zenxin, who is said to have reached the level of dragon and elephant.

How could Fengyuan Wuzong have the qualifications to clash with such a sect?
Going to Yutan Mountain to look for gold mines, isn't that just seeking death?
But the conditions offered by the Second Master were too generous.

A jade Buddha Bodhi seed.

The qualifications of three hundred disciples to join the Wuwei Yamen.

Two sets of cultivation techniques and several refined weapons.

It is impossible for Fengyuan Wuzong to obtain treasures like the Jade Buddha Bodhi Seed on his own.

If they had this treasure, Sect Master Xue Cheng and the two supreme elders would likely be able to improve their cultivation.

For a sect, the improvement of the cultivation level of the top strongmen is a great opportunity to enhance the strength and influence of the entire sect.

This price is really tempting.

As for the qualification of 300 to enter the Wuwei Yamen, the temptation to the disciples is unimaginable.

Moreover, the skills and weapons that Zhang Yuan took out were not available in ordinary martial arts sects.

These things can become the foundation of Fengyuan Wuzong.

"The price offered by the Second Master is not low, but it will offend the Prajna Zen Temple..." The elder of foreign affairs at the side looked up and frowned.

The foundation of Fengyuan Wuzong is that it borders Liangyuan Territory, and it can earn resources from business to ensure the long-term survival of the sect.

If we offend the Prajna Zen Temple this time, not to mention the damage we will suffer, we will never be able to enter Liangyuan Territory again, which will cut off our foundation.

Not worth the candle.

The words of the Foreign Affairs Elder made the others nod.

If the cost wasn't so high, they wouldn't be so hesitant.

"Master Zhang, who is so righteous and loyal, do you really think his reputation is based on loyalty?" The supreme elder Yu Zhaolin, who was sitting next to the sect leader Xue Cheng, spoke lightly with a gleam in his eyes.

These words shocked everyone slightly.

We are all in the underworld. Anyone who believes that he can succeed in the underworld by relying on the word "righteousness" will definitely not live long.

"Now that Master Zhang is here, I'm afraid this matter can't be postponed." On the other side, the Supreme Elder Feng Jiyang shook his head and said, "I'll take the people with me."

"If something really happens, I will give an explanation to Prajna Zen Temple."

Feng Jiyang's expression was calm.

His cultivation had been stuck at the late Xiantian realm for decades, and his lifespan had been depleted too much, leaving him with no hope of moving forward.

"I'll go." Sect Master Xue Cheng stood up and looked outside the hall.

"I want to ask Master Zhang to make a promise."

"If this is accomplished, I, Fengyuan Wuzong, will become the leader of the Jianghu in Beining County."

----------------

Liangyuan area.

Xue Cheng, the leader of Fengyuan Wuzong, Feng Jiyang, the supreme elder, and four other elders and deacons in the Xiantian realm, brought a thousand disciples, disguised as a merchant caravan, divided into four teams, and followed Zhang Yuan to Yutan Mountain.

Along the way, there were disciples of Fengyuan Wuzong with them, and they made smooth progress.

This made Song Quan, the elder of Yeshan Sect who was following him, feel that he had indeed found the right person.

Their Yeshan Sect also controls the trade routes, but they are not familiar with the affairs of Liangyuan Territory. Only a sect like Fengyuan Wuzong can travel through Liangyuan Territory so easily.

In five days, the caravan traveled more than two thousand miles and arrived at the Mianshan Mountains.

"That's Yutan Mountain."

Xue Cheng, the leader of Fengyuan Wuzong, who was standing beside Zhang Yuan, looked up and spoke in a low voice.

From afar, you can see several places shining with golden light among the rolling mountains.

"Second Master, where is the gold mine in Yutan Mountain, the specific mining location, and the production, no one outside knows." Xue Cheng looked at Zhang Yuan with a hint of difficulty on his face.

This place has always been occupied by people from the Prajna Zen Temple, and outsiders cannot explore it at all.

"No problem, I'll go take a look."

Zhang Yuan turned his head and looked at the disciples of Fengyuan Wuzong who were pretending to be a merchant caravan behind him.

"Just rest here and wait."

After saying this, he moved and ran towards the mountains ahead.

Xue Cheng hesitated for a moment and was about to follow when Song Quan beside him waved his hand.

"Master Xue, we don't need to interfere with the Second Master's actions. Just wait."

Xue Cheng was afraid that Zhang Yuan's cultivation was not strong enough and he would get into trouble if he entered Yutan Mountain. However, Song Quan knew that Zhang Yuan's cultivation was terrifyingly strong.

……

Zhang Yuan entered the mountains at an extremely fast speed.

His figure was like a breeze, and in a flash he had arrived in front of a rock that was shining with golden light.

From a distance, this place looks dazzlingly golden, but when you get there in person, there are no golden stones to be seen.

Zhang Yuan stood under the rocks, his expression unchanged.

"who--"

Not far away, a low shout was heard, and a tall monk holding a bronze staff came running over.

A faint innate power surged from the monk.

There is a Xiantian realm person stationed here, who deliberately uses the golden light here to attract outsiders to investigate.

Zhang Yuan turned his head and met the monk's gaze. Golden light instantly penetrated his eyes.

Buddhism, spiritual means.

The monk shuddered and his body stiffened.

"Take me to the location of the largest gold mine in Yutan Mountain."

Zhang Yuan's voice rang out.

The monk slowly turned around and led Zhang Yuan deep into the mountains.

A moment later, what Zhang Yuan saw in front of him was a rocky mine with a radius of ten miles.

Tens of thousands of disheveled miners are hammering rocks and sifting for gold sand.

"Qin people?"

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes.

　The more fun I had yesterday, the more embarrassed I am today as I have to finish my manuscript.

　　Don't say anything.

　　My fault.

　　The next chapter will be here by one o'clock.
