Ningning continued, "This mine used to have a large amount of Demon Silver, but after decades of mining, it has completely dried up.
Most of the gold-eating beasts have either been killed or left. Now, there are only a few weak gold-eating beasts that rely on the Demon Silver to survive. "
Then, this place was the most suitable place to hunt for gold-type demon cores.
Ximen Ningning said, "That abandoned mine is very deep and winding. However, there shouldn't be more than a few dozen gold-eating beasts. They are very sparsely distributed.
As long as you don't go too deep, there shouldn't be too much danger. "
Based on what Ximen Ningning said, this was practically the perfect place for Yang Dingtian to hunt for gold-type demon cores alone.
"Is this abandoned mine very far?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Not far. It's about 400 kilometers northwest of Cloud Sky City," Ximen Ningning said.
"But the only problem is that this abandoned mine belongs to the Northwest Qin Family. People from other forces can't enter. If we enter and are discovered, there will be a lot of trouble, especially for you."
The Northwest Qin Family could be said to be Cloud Sky City's mortal enemy. Both sides had never stopped fighting.
After Ximen Wuya passed away, the Northwest Qin Family unabashedly launched a plot to annex Cloud Sky City.
At this moment, this abandoned Demon Silver Mine was actually in the Northwest Qin Family's territory.
"The Northwest Qin City is more than 1500 kilometers away from us. The abandoned mine is 400 kilometers away from us. It's their territory. The Northwest Qin Family's territory is actually so big?" Yang Dingtian said in surprise.
"Of course. Their territory is more than 1500 kilometers," Ximen Ningning said.
"Cloud Sky City has been in decline for too long. The Northwest Qin Family has been strong for hundreds of years, so their territory is two to three times more than ours.
Cloud Sky City can't continue expanding after expanding for more than 1000 kilometers because we are already bordering the Northwest Qin Family. "
In that case, this abandoned mine was practically the perfect place for Yang Dingtian to hunt for gold-type demon cores. However, there was another kind of danger.
The Northwest Qin Family was eyeing Cloud Sky City covetously. Their young master was drooling over Yanyan. As for Yang Dingtian, they definitely hated him to the core.
"Is there someone guarding the mine at all times?
Is it an important place of the Northwest Qin Family? "Yang Dingtian asked.
"That's not the case. That mine has been abandoned for many years, and no one cares about it.
But that's the border between the two families. There will be a lot of sentries, especially secret sentries, "Ximen Ningning said.
Putting these matters aside, Yang Dingtian asked, "Sister Ningning, the Northwest Continent is a fire-type place. How can there be an ice-type demonic beast?
Just now, there was an ice-type demonic beast in this abandoned mine. What's going on? "
"I also feel very surprised, because this is completely impossible."
Ningning said, "The Conversational Bird told me that it found out that these ice-type demonic beasts only appeared about a month ago.
Because more than a month ago, there was a huge earthquake in the abandoned Demonic Silver Mine. The entire Demonic Silver Mine cracked open and a mass of unfreezing water gushed out from the depths of the ground, forming a pond. The water is colder than ice, but it will never condense into ice. In the unfreezing water pond, there are a few ice-type demonic beasts. "
"Does that mean that these ice-type demonic beasts are the only ones in the Northwest Continent?" Yang Dingtian asked.
Ximen Ningning said, "You can say that."
"Then we really have to go. No matter how dangerous it is, we have to go." Yang Dingtian asked in his heart, "Master, what's the approximate temperature of the unfreezing water?"
"According to Earth's calculations, it's about -80 degrees Celsius," Dongfang Minmie said, "If you don't have a Yang-type Mystic Vein of the eighth rank or above, you won't be able to withstand it.
However, it's really strange. How can there be unfreezing water gushing out from this place?
This is clearly a fire-type continent. "
Dongfang Minmie's tone was not only surprised, but also a little nervous.
"Is the unfreezing water very rare?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"It's extremely rare on the fire-type continent. It's almost impossible to form it, unless …" Dongfang Minmie said excitedly, "Unless there's a need to generate a very, very high heat in the depths of the earth. Through hundreds or thousands of years, all the surrounding heat will be swallowed up. Then, all the surrounding water will become colder and colder. Because of special reasons, it can't condense into ice, so it becomes unfreezing water."
Yang Dingtian's heart trembled. He suddenly thought of a possibility and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, what kind of thing needs to swallow a lot of heat?
Could it be … "
Yang Dingtian thought of the Bloody Black Gold. If he wanted to forge a soul sword, he would need a large amount of Bloody Black Gold, and this item was the most difficult item to find. Furthermore, forging a soul sword required a large amount of Bloody Black Gold.
"There are many things that need to swallow a lot of heat to form, but there are only a few things that need to swallow a lot of heat to form unfreezing water."
Dongfang Minmie said, "One of them is … Bloody Black Gold. However, this possibility is still very, very small. There's also a big possibility that it's other fire-type crystals and fire-type ores. The probability of Bloody Black Gold is still very, very low."
Yang Dingtian asked in his heart, "Why is the probability of Bloody Black Gold so low?"
Dongfang Minmie said, "Because there's a pond of unfreezing water, which proves that there's a very large vein of ore.
There's never been a large vein of Bloody Black Gold. The largest vein of Bloody Black Gold that I've encountered was only forty or so pieces. The largest vein of Bloody Black Gold that I've heard of was only ninety-nine pieces. "
Yang Dingtian calmed his excitement. Whether or not there was Bloody Black Gold under the unfreezing pond, he had to go to this abandoned mine.
"Sister Ningning, do many people know about this?" Yang Dingtian asked, "There's an ice-type monster in the abandoned mine and unfreezing water gushed out."
"No, at least no one will find out in a short period of time," Ningning said.
"I've decided. Let's go to the abandoned mine," Yang Dingtian said.
Ningning looked at Yang Dingtian for a long time, then nodded and said, "I'll go with you and help you avoid the secret sentries of the Northwest Qin Family."
"Okay!" Yang Dingtian said.
"Then you go to sleep first. I'll prepare some things. We'll leave early tomorrow morning," Ningning said.
*****
The next morning, Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning rode on the Floating Ray and flew in the direction of the abandoned mine in the west.
Although the Floating Ray was carrying two people and a lot of things, it was still light and agile. It flew quickly and steadily in the sky.
"Little Tian, have you heard of Qin Shaobai?" Ximen Ningning suddenly asked.
Yang Dingtian's heart jumped as he thought of Yang Qi, who he killed.
"I've heard of him," Yang Dingtian said. "He's the third son of the Qin Family Lord, Qin Huaiyu's younger brother."
Hearing Yang Dingtian say Qin Huaiyu's name with hostility, Ningning couldn't help but laugh.
Because it was this Qin Huaiyu who wanted to steal Yanyan as his wife.
"That's right, but other than being the third son of the Qin Family Lord, Qin Shaobai has another identity."
Ximen Ningning continued, "He's also the grandson of Great Elder Yang Yan. When Godfather was purging the Yang Family's opposition, Great Elder Yang Yan married his daughter, Yang Shishi, to the Qin Family Lord as a concubine in order to protect himself."
Ningning continued, "Originally, we didn't have any direct relationship with Qin Shaobai.
But a few days ago, the Qin Family Lord divorced his second wife, Yang Shishi, and expelled Qin Shaobai from the Northwest Qin Family.
Qin Shaobai changed his name to Yang Shaobai and will soon return to Cloud Sky City.
Do you know what this means? "
"Qin Shaobai is coming to steal the position of Cloud Sky City Lord," Yang Dingtian said.
Seeing that Yang Dingtian didn't look too surprised, Ningning was slightly stunned and said, "That's right, Qin Shaobai is coming to steal the position of Cloud Sky City Lord.
He has the support of Great Elder Yang Yan internally and the support of the Northwest Qin Family externally, so he will be your biggest competitor for the position of Cloud Sky City Lord. "
"What's his cultivation like?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Eight-star Xuan Martial Warrior," Ximen Ningning said, "and he's only seventeen years old."
Yang Dingtian asked, "Compared to Yanyan from five years ago?"
"Slightly worse," Ximen Ningning said.
"Yanyan is the most talented person in Cloud Sky City in the past hundred years. If it wasn't for the incident five years ago, she could have become the first female City Lord of Cloud Sky City."
Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment and said, "What happened five years ago?"
"Yanyan didn't tell you?" Ximen Ningning asked.
Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, "She didn't say, but every time she mentioned it, she would appear to be in great pain. It was as if her heart was being torn apart."
"That's her biggest scar, her biggest knot," Ximen Ningning said.
Ximen Ningning said, "Since she hasn't told you yet, it means that you haven't melted her heart yet. When you really win her heart, she will tell you about it.
So I don't have the right to tell you. If you want to know, you have to enter her heart first and let her tell you personally. "
Ximen Ningning sighed softly and said, "These few years, Yanyan deliberately acted arrogant, unruly, and rude. She seemed to be quite happy.
But in these five years, she has never been truly happy. That incident hurt her too deeply.
If she doesn't untie this knot, she will never be happy.
If we want to mend the scar in her heart and make her truly happy, we have to rely on you, Little Tian! "
Yang Dingtian nodded.
"Five days later is a very good opportunity."
Ximen Ningning smiled and said, "I don't know what method you will use to break through in five days, but I believe you can definitely do it.
Once you really do it, your previous persistence and your previous conflict with her will become correct and deeply imprinted in her heart.
At that time, you will become a true expert in her heart. Then, you will be one step closer to her heart! "
Yang Dingtian smiled and said, "Sister Ningning, you seem to know a lot about relationships."
Ningning's face turned slightly red and she whispered, "I'm already 28 years old."
"Then why don't you get married?
Has there never been a man who has moved your heart? "Yang Dingtian couldn't help but ask, but he regretted it after asking.
