Chapter 111: Underground Fire Vein (2/2)

Yes, Secondary Heavenly Weapons!

A wizard weapon was not a thing you could ask for. Without good luck and real mysterious objects and materials, wizard weapons could not be forged.

But Secondary Heavenly Weapon was different. Although not as magical as a wizard weapon, the sharpness and tenacity ranked only second to the wizard weapon.

Most importantly, a Secondary Heavenly Weapon was easier to forge. As long as the materials and smelt conditions were superior, top craftsman was able to forge one.

For example, Xu Yong, the teacher of Junior Leopard, as a top blacksmith, could quickly forge a Secondary Heavenly Weapon if he was provided with a smelter in the geocentric fire vein and some top class materials.

Therefore, if the Wu Family got the underground fire vein, their overall strength would be raised to a new level, becoming the number one smelting family in the world.

This was just a fantasy of course. Jin Nanqing was no fool, neither was the Jin imperial court. How could they give such a place to the Wu Family?

Another benefit of the underground fire vein was that the spiritual stone of fire property might be produced here.

Earth veins could not be taken, but spiritual stones could. Although spiritual stones were called the most abundant mysterious objects, as a mysterious object, no matter how abundant it was, it could not be sold as cheap cabbages. Let alone that more spiritual stones were usually found closer to the underground rock flows, where ordinary people would find it impossible to reach.

People that could actually get close to the underground lava were at least a Level Seven and had Gang Qi protecting them. But with such abilities, spiritual stones were less attractive to them. What was more, could it be possible that a Level Seven was willing to be your miner?

That was impossible. So no matter how abundant the spiritual stone was in the earth vein, they were still inaccessible treasures.

However, except for places near the underground lava, other places in the fire vein might also have spiritual stones of fire attribute. Undoubtedly, the amount would be small, so it depended on your luck.

The Spiritual Energy of Fire, earth fire, and spiritual stone were the three most attractive benefits of the fire vein.

Of course, there were other benefits of the underground fire vein, though they only benefited a few people.

The Wu Family was one of those few people.

Generally speaking, fire veins with underground lava were also associated with earth vein Evil Qi, which was fatal to ordinary people and even martial artists. But for those who practiced the Fire Way Method and reached Level Six cultivation, this was a priceless place. Because they could condense the Evil Qi to Gang Qi. This was what the Wu Family had benefited from the fire vein.

Condensing Evil to Gang!

As a smelting family, every generation of the Wu Family would have a Level Seven expert. Therefore, the Wu Family knew places where earth vein Evil Qi gathered for the Elders to practice Gang Qi. But such an earth vein Evil Qi had either existed for too long, was used by too many people or was not enough in quantity. The result of condensing Gang Qi was not ideal. Sometimes because the Evil Qi was heterogeneous, dangerous things would happen in the process of condensing.

That was why in recent years, some of the elders in the Wu Family that had reached Level Seven cultivation, was seldom Condensing Evil to Gang. They were afraid of accidents. Lyu Yiyue was the same. With Level Seven cultivation, he didn't condense Gang Qi. So when faced with another strong person, he would always feel inferior.

But now, the earth vein Evil Qi from this underground fire vein was much better than those that the Wu Family used to know, both in quality and quantity. If Lyu Yiyue could condense Evil to Gang, it was believed that he was 70% sure of the success.

This was why Jin Nanqing was most happy and also what he was concerned about.

This time they left Yunzhou, originally only to trace the whereabouts of a number of goods, which was a tiny thing for the great Wu's. But unexpectedly, they should have encountered so many crazy things and in the end, they found the underground fire vein in Zhonghe City!

The underground fire vein was in Zhonghe City. It definitely belonged to Jin and could not be touched by other well-known families. But, undoubtedly, Jin court would consider the influence and ability of those well-known families to effectively utilize this fire vein. It was known that although the craftsmen were working in the Jin's Ministry of Works, they were also from these well-known families. Real skills were mastered by these well-known families instead of the court. Despite that the court would send people to learn from these families at regular intervals, these families were not fools. No one would teach real skills to people from the court. Therefore, to effectively utilize this fire vein, these well-known families needed to get involved.

How to get involved and how to distribute the benefits, this would bring a fight. Both Jin Nanqing and Junior Leopard were small ants who could easily be stepped on before those big shots. The difference was that, for now, the small ants from the Wu's somehow took the advantages.

If they could seize the initiative for the Wu Family, that would be a huge contribution. Even for nothing else, if they could help Lyu Yiyue get a chance to condense Evil to Gang here, they would be so proud of the Wu Family, at least before Lyu Yiyue died.

Of course, this was just another fantasy of his. Small ants like them would never change their status. At best they could fight for some advantages which the other families could not get.

But even with such a little advantage, these would bear enormous benefits for their future.

So, Jin Nanqing was very excited.
