After Becoming the Golden Finger of Long Aotian Male Protagonist - Chapter 5
This time the Xiao family and others came to learn that a gold crystal mine was discovered in the forest near Beicheng. However, the forest is too large and mining is difficult. The most important thing is that even with the strength of the Xiao family, If they can’t do everything in their own right, they will not have the strength to hold on. Instead, they will attract more powerful families from other places to compete.
So several local families decided to join together to mine.
The gold spar mined from the gold crystal mine can be made into gold crystal coins. This is the currency with the largest denomination in the mainland, and it is equivalent to the use of gold in modern society.
In addition, crystal elements are also bred in the large gold crystal veins, which are of great help to cultivation.
This time, several families sent people to inquire about the situation, and then send more people to mine in the future. Of course, these things will not be told to Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian was distracted after entering the city lord’s mansion. Drove to the side hall.
Xiao Zhe drove Xiao Mian away for the sake of his face, but Xiao Mian himself would not go up uninterestingly. He was arranged to have tea and snacks in the side hall. The maid who served the snacks knew him too, and his eyes could not hide his contempt. , As if watching a door-to-door eater.
“This is made by the chef of our city lord’s mansion, but you can’t eat it outside.” The maid brought the food out of the tray and put it on the table, thinking that Xiao Mian, a person who can only eat the cheapest food in the college cafeteria, I’m afraid it’s been a long time since I’ve touched these exquisite foods. Don’t gobbling up the jokes later.
Thinking of this, she and the other maid looked at each other, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Mian spent two years at the bottom of the floor. She has long learned to observe her words and colors. He can see clearly the thoughts under the expressions of the two maids, but he smiles slightly on his face: “Thank you two sisters.”
“Then please use it. We are all waiting outside. If something happens to be summoned.” The two maids walked back, but they were looking inside through a gap from the door. The city lord specifically explained that he should not be allowed. Leaving the side hall.
Xiao Mian was really hungry too, so she squeezed the snack and started to eat. Jiang Yuan discovered a few good things through just contact with Xiao Zhe and his party.
The first is that she can directly see the level of other people’s spiritual masters. The second is that she can hear and see much farther than ordinary people. Even if she sees things with Xiao Mian’s eyes, she can He sees more.
“Don’t say anything when I tell you something. If you understand, move your middle finger.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mian’s **** on her leg knocked on her knee, indicating that she understood, and his other hand held a snack nonchalantly.
“Someone is staring at you now, but do you want to know what the Xiao family are discussing?”
Xiao Mian nodded slightly.
Jiang Yuan said: “This side hall is too far away from the main hall where they talked. If you find a way to go outside the main hall, I can hear them talking.”
Astonishment flashed in Xiao Mian’s eyes, but he attributed this to Qi Ling’s special ability, and didn’t think much about it. After thinking about it, he stood up and came to the door, but he was stopped by no accident.
“Young Master Xiao, please wait in the hall for a while, the city lord will summon him.”
Xiao Mian said, “It’s very cold in this hall. I want to go outside for a walk. I see the calligraphy on the courtyard wall next to the main entrance is very beautiful. .”
The two maids looked at each other, each felt that it was indeed cold and boring to stand here, and it was fine to go there, so they agreed. Several people walked around until they got closer and closer to the main hall, and Jiang Yuan could listen. After clearing the dialogue inside, he said: “It’s all right here.”
Xiao Mian stopped and pretended to turn around next to the word, looking like a person who loves painting and calligraphy admiring the work.
This mainlander has always believed in the strong, and the matter of literary dance and ink has always been the most inferior. Both maids sneered at Xiao Mian and let him go.
Jiang Yuan listened to it for a while before guessing it, and said: “They found a gold crystal mine near here, and they are going to mine it, and this vein is very long, and it may have bred crystal elements.”
Xiao Mian’s expression was slightly condensed, and he listened to her carefully, “If this crystal element is absorbed by the cultivator, it will greatly increase the skill.
But you don’t have spiritual power, and it’s useless if you get it. ”
He glanced at the two maids, who were quite far away, then whispered: “Will that work for you?”
Jiang Yuan thought about it after hearing the words. She can’t do anything except see, hear and talk now, even if the crystal element is placed in front of her, she can’t absorb it.
“should not.”
But she remembered that this crystal element is also a good thing for refining equipment, especially the crystal element of the gold crystal mine is a rare encounter in a century. If a high-grade treasure can be refined, it can at least travel sideways in half of the continent.
“Jingyuan can refine artifacts. If we get them, we will find a way to refine the treasures. Other than that, at least there will be a stepping stone to the Canghong faction.”
Xiao Mian nodded, indicating that he had finished admiring, and returned to the Pian Hall to sit down and wait. The two maids did not have the slightest doubt. After a while, Xiao Zhe, the City Lord and others came out and summoned Xiao Mian to pass.
Xiao Ming was a little guilty about distracting Xiao Mian, and while Yang Jie was not paying attention, he took the initiative to whisper: “Brother Nine, I have something for you when we are going to a banquet for 10,000 people later.”
Xiao Mian was startled slightly, Xiao Ming had already moved forward with a faint fragrance, and Yang Jie who had followed him gave him a suspicious look, his eyes full of warning.
Xiao Mian ignored him, and the group of people swept across the large square. The sky was late, the sun was hanging down, and lamps lit with spirit beast grease were all over the surrounding area. The city lord also took out a collection of illuminating spirit instruments and placed them on a high place. Bright as day, the air is filled with the scorched aroma of barbecue.
There are not many people in Beicheng, with only tens of thousands of people. Naturally, people who come to participate in the banquet are also somewhat of identity and strength.
Sitting separately, Xiao Mian naturally couldn’t sit in the VIP table, and only leaving a place for him among those in the academy was considered to be the face of the Xiao family.
At the beginning of the banquet, the city lord first stepped forward to say a few words, first expressing the happiness that Xiongji was dead, and then welcoming the guests.
Jiang Yuan looked at the cheering scenes of these people, and couldn’t help but remember that although she had continued the viciousness and cruelty of Qiangji over the past few years, she had never killed anyone at all. Didn’t everyone notice a change? NS? It is also blamed that Qiang Ji has ruled the realm of comprehension for nearly a hundred years, and everyone’s impression is deeply ingrained.
After the city lord had finished speaking, everyone began to eat, and the banquet was brought up like running water.
When Xiao Mian first came to Beicheng, he could still get a little monthly report from his family every month, but it disappeared after a few months. Only by doing small jobs in the college to earn some money to make a living, the cheapest meals that I eat on weekdays have not been seen for a long time.
After the meeting, Xiao Ming walked over, put a cloth bag in his hand and whispered: “Brother Nine, this is the swordsmanship collection I recently got. You can practice without spiritual power. The emperor will have a scene after January. In the trials, select swordsmen to enter the palace guards, I think you have the foundation, maybe you can be selected.”
Xiao Mian caught the cloth bag. It was heavy and bulging, and it didn’t look like there was only a swordsmanship collection. Just about to speak, Xiao Ming shook his head slightly, “Go back and open it again. I’ll be waiting for you in the capital.”
After that, she quickly took a small step and left. Xiao Mian ignored the eyes of the people around her, put the cloth bag in her arms, and continued to lower her head to eat.
Jiang Yuan also noticed that the girl must have been interested in him. If Xiao Mian used this as a goal, it would be quite motivating.
She asked directly: “Do you like her?”
