Chapter 229 Picking up trash
They say you look old at the age of three.
Wei Wenxin has been a person who dares to think and act since he was young.
Deciding to head northeast, she set off with Ling Cang without any delay.
Far away from the coast, there are very few reference points on the sea, and it is difficult to determine the direction. However, Wei Wenxin has been in the Tianji Sect for so many years, and he does not sit there idle except for refining weapons on weekdays.
The most basic task for disciples of the Tianji Sect is stargazing. There are stargazing platforms everywhere near the mountain gate.
Wei Wenxin was bored, so she followed Lu Zhijin up to look at the stars a few times.
It was too profound, so I may not have learned much about the sect's secrets, but I did learn very well the extremely practical life skills such as astrological positioning.
It was her first time going out to sea and she was not skilled at first. But after two days of practice, she connected theory with practice, and on starry nights, she basically made no mistakes.
With a heavy weight lifted off his shoulders, Wei Wenxin began to enjoy the sea voyage.
For those who grew up inland, the ocean is strange and scary, but...
As long as you are strong enough or confident enough, it can also be fun.
At the beginning, not only herself, but also Ling Cang, would dive into the water from time to time to see the wonder.
There were both mortal and demon creatures in the sea, but because the two of them only moved in shallow waters, they did not see any large demons that had transformed into human form.
Most of these things she had seen in books but had never seen in person.
It is very interesting to identify them one by one by comparing them with my memory.
Wei Wenxin had been fasting for a long time and did not have a deep obsession with delicious food.
But Lingcang needs to eat regularly.
On the first day of going to the sea, it dived to the bottom of the sea and fished out a conch in the foundation-building stage.
When Wei Wenxin saw that the snail shell was blue-purple and looked scary, she was a little worried that it was poisonous, but Bai Ze said that its meat was delicious.
It’s magical. Even though it has never eaten it, it knows that it tastes good.
Wei Wenxin tends to be conservative and doesn't want it to take risks, but Ling Cang says that Bai Ze is born with knowledge of the world.
There are a lot of common sense things in its inherited memory.
You never know which of your ancestors was a seafood lover.
Wei Wenxin had no choice but to do as it requested. He held the conch, which was too frightened to show its head, in the palm of his hand, roasted it slowly over low heat, then picked out the meat and cut it into thin slices.
She was not a foodie and had never needed to cook before, so she didn't have any seasonings on her.
Fortunately, these things in the sea are very smart and have their own saltiness, so they can be eaten directly after being roasted.
Of course the biggest reason is that Bai Ze is not picky about food...
At first, Wei Wenxin did not dare to believe Ling Cang's judgment. It was not until several days later, when he saw that it was still alive and kicking, that he began to catch the species it had eaten before and try them one by one.
Ling Cang was so angry that he jumped up and down!
The man and the beast fought fiercely, and it ended with Wei Wenxin taking a boat and Ling Cang flying away.
From that day on, every time after eating and drinking, Wei Wenxin would force it to fly with the boat, saying that it could practice and also make it easier to observe the surroundings.
This is indeed very effective.
Every time he met other people, Wei Wenxin could avoid them early.
After all, her goal is mining.
It is better to make a fortune secretly.
She, who has tasted the sweetness, understands this best.
Ling Cang ate a lot at first, and would not rest until he was full every day. After half a month, he wanted to vomit when he smelled the fishy smell of the sea.
One day, it was tired of flying and fell from the sky onto the boat.
He turned into the appearance of a child with his mouth pouted high.
While fiddling with the spiritual beads in the box, he pestered Wei Wenxin:
"I want to eat chicken, spiritual rice, and spiritual fruit. If that doesn't work, just give me some bamboo rice flowers!" Ling Cang especially likes to eat shellfish and snails. This half box of spiritual beads was collected while eating.
The moon was at its highest point in the sky, and the sky was full of stars. The boat had been parked here for half an hour.
Wei Wenxin was sitting cross-legged on the deck, and Ling Cang thought she wanted to rest.
Usually at times like this, when Ling Cang was eating a lot, he would naturally pester her to eat what he wanted.
Wei Wenxin ignored it.
We stopped from time to time before to rest, but today it was because we discovered traces of spiritual mines.
Her spiritual sense kept scanning the seabed. Just when she was concentrating, Ling Cang surrounded her and made a lot of noise, which made her so angry that she slapped him!
"Just be quiet for a while!"
Realizing something was wrong, Ling Cang no longer dared to make trouble and squatted quietly in the corner.
After a long while, seeing Wei Wenxin's face light up and stand up, he hurriedly followed suit.
Sure enough, Wei Wenxin waved his hand and said, "Come with me and take a look!"
After saying that, Wei Wenxin directly put Ling Cang into the spirit beast bag, and put the small boat into the storage ring, and then slowly sank it.
There is salt in sea water. In order to avoid skin discomfort, you need to cover your body with a thin layer of spiritual energy membrane when diving.
Wei Wenxin has a very high degree of control over his own spiritual power, and can handle anything with ease.
When Ling Cang casts a spell, it's fine for a short time, but over a long period of time, there will always be a hole here and a crack there, and then the sea water will pour in.
If you accidentally get wet, even if you dry your hair, there will still be a lot of salt particles left in your hair, making it extremely uncomfortable.
It’s not known how long it will take to mine now, so Wei Wenxin didn’t let it go into the water.
To be honest, during this experience, Ling Cang's role was more to entertain her.
God knows how devastating it would be to be in the endless ocean with no one to talk to!
Only when they reached the bottom of the sea did Ling Cang carefully communicate with her:
What kind of mine is this?
Seeing it extending its spiritual sense to look around, Wei Wenxin did not restrain it.
[It should be a lapis lazuli mine.]
Lapis lazuli is a relatively rare wood-attribute ore. It can be used in alchemy furnaces to increase the success rate of alchemy.
Wei Wenxin was very happy as she didn't expect to encounter this.
But when she went down into the sea, she was no longer happy.
Because under the dark seabed, there is an even darker trench.
Wei Wenxin was very disappointed: [We are too late. The spiritual mine has been mined out.]
This spiritual stone mine is very small. When Ling Cang used his divine sense to probe it, he saw some lapis lazuli ore left in the corners. He was overjoyed:
[The miners are so rough at their job, there are still a lot of them left here! ]
This place is close to the deep sea area. People with lower cultivation levels cannot stay in such a deep place. Before the mining machines were invented, it was extremely difficult to mine here.
Maybe some big shot came down to dig it out personally.
It's normal to not be so meticulous in doing things.
I had been wandering in the nearby sea for most of the day and finally found the location, but I didn't expect that someone had got there first.
Wei Wenxin did feel quite disappointed.
But as she dug, she thought that all these were free. People with her level of cultivation would not even have the chance to see them, let alone make such a fortune. She became excited again.
After she cleaned the pit, she slowly floated to the surface, released the boat, and got back into the cabin. She said with a lingering feeling:
"I went to such lengths to get only a dozen tons of low-level lapis lazuli ore. Sigh! I'm just a garbage collector."
No matter how precious the mineral is, the scraps cannot be sold at a high price.
Ling Cang had already crawled out of the spirit beast bag. Before he could complain after hearing this, Fentian jumped out:
[Who can pick up trash as vigorously as you do? I'm afraid I'll burst into laughter while meditating! ]
After hearing what it said, Wei Wenxin no longer dared to talk nonsense.
I went back to the cabin and lay down, letting them keep watch, then I fell asleep peacefully.
