My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 151: Stone Tripod's Reminder

The wages of avarice is death.

Although practitioners from all countries had received news of danger underground, the value of the refined gold veins was too great, so even though the mine was still collapsing, many practitioners still rushed in.

But it didn't take long.

These practitioners fled frantically.

A large number of insects and a giant spider emerged from deep underground, hunting these practitioners.

Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia, who were suspended on the edge of the smoke, watched this scene quietly. They both knew that the refined gold ore had been swallowed up by the stone tripod.

The silver-eared mouse lying on Jiang Xia's shoulder squeaked, as if to say that it had a share of the credit for taking the stone tripod.

Zhou Ping threw out a spirit stone.

The silver-eared mouse bit it and swallowed it.

And this time.

A lazy voice echoed through Zhou Ping's mind, "Boy, you're too weak. Since you've allowed me to recover a little, I'm going to remind you that the Nine Apertures plus the Supreme Foundation Establishment only give you a little bit of aptitude. If you want to go further with this, you still need a lot... Don't bother me until you've achieved the Nine Apertures Nascent Soul."

"Also, the quality of the Immortal Fire Seed in your body is very ordinary. It is probably forced together. If you want to improve the tempering, you need other high-level flames, such as the Vermillion Bird Divine Fire. Well, I just woke up and need to recover well."

There was no sound after he finished speaking.

No matter how Zhou Ping called out "Senior" in his sea of ​​consciousness, there was no response.

"The senior in this stone tripod is truly aloof. I wonder if he's the remnant soul of a powerful ancient figure, or the spirit of a magical weapon?"

he guessed.

After all, the formation spirit said that this stone tripod might be a magical weapon of near-immortal level, and such a treasure might have a companion spirit.

However, even though he had wasted a Human Emperor Pen, it was not a complete loss. At least he knew that the Immortal Fire Seed in his body was not complete and could still be tempered.

"Nine-orifice Yuanying, Vermillion Bird Divine Fire... What are these?"

He began to communicate with the formation spirit.

The formation spirit said, "For most practitioners, being able to form a Nascent Soul is already rare, but the Nascent Souls formed vary in strength. The Nine-Aperture Nascent Soul is equivalent to the nine orifices you have opened now, and is among the top-tier Nascent Souls. Once cultivated, you will be invincible at the Nascent Soul Condensation level."

"You are still a long way from Nascent Soul Formation. Your most immediate goal is to Condensate Core. Core Cores are also divided into different grades. You have established a supreme foundation and are blessed by the Nine Apertures. There is hope that your Core Core will become a top-grade Core Core in the future."

Zhou Ping was surprised and asked, "So, there are high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade golden elixirs. What's the difference between them?"

"A big difference."

"Ordinary cultivators can only produce low-grade golden elixirs. Their mana purity and total mana are very average. Unless they encounter a great opportunity, there is almost no hope for this type of golden elixir to form a Nascent Soul. A mid-grade golden elixir has a 30% chance of forming a Nascent Soul, while a high-grade golden elixir has a 50% chance of forming a Nascent Soul."

The formation spirit said, "The quality of the golden elixir is mainly reflected in the strength of the magic power. The seeds of our Taiyan Sect are basically all top-grade golden elixirs. The golden elixirs formed by the sect's candidate saints and the sect's saints are all excellent among the top-grade ones."

"If measured by mana, an ordinary Golden Core in its early stages has 50 mana, a mid-grade Golden Core has 200 million mana, and a high-grade Golden Core has 500 million mana. The mana of a sect's Saint Son Candidates and Saint Sons is generally over 1000 million when they become Golden Cores."

Zhou Ping was dumbfounded.

Oh My God.

The sect's candidate for the Holy Son and the Holy Son's magical powers are too terrifying!
Twenty times more powerful than an ordinary golden elixir!!

However, he only has more than 800,000 spiritual energy and magic power now. Although it is stronger than the ordinary early stage of Jindan, it is indeed far behind the top grade and the Holy Son level.

The formation spirit continued, "Mana power is only the most basic value. Saint Sons have other means and magical powers, so if you want to become the Saint Son of the sect, you must continue to work hard."

Zhou Ping was speechless. "Okay, stop talking."

He originally thought that he was quite good, but he was really hit hard in front of the Son of God.

Boom boom boom.

The ruins of a mine collapse.

After the initial panic, practitioners from various countries temporarily joined forces and used formations and talismans to deal with the insects and three-eyed golden spiders.

After Zhou Ping recovered for a while, he also joined in. It was not because he had nothing to do, but the materials from these insects and the three-eyed golden spider were good things. With the assistance of practitioners from various countries, he could exert stronger combat power, especially when combined with the formation. In less than half an hour, he killed the injured three-eyed golden spider.

Take away their materials.

After glancing at the covetous, greedy and fearful practitioners from various countries, he took Jiang Xia away from the mine.

Five hours later.

The two returned to Kyoto.

This trip to South Africa was a fruitful one.

Not to mention the stone tripod, just the Geng gold and the refined gold crystals obtained from leaving the mine are a huge fortune. In addition, the materials on the three-eyed golden spider's body are also very valuable.

Let’s just talk about the wealth of practitioners.

He felt that he could be considered a wealthy man.

However, when he thought of the mysterious forces such as Jing'an Si and Guigu Sect, this sense of accomplishment quickly disappeared. These mysterious forces often explored ancient ruins, and they must have obtained a lot of treasures, such as the incomplete magic weapon like the Human Emperor Pen. One of them is more than what he has now.

"Silver-eared Mouse, from now on, treasure hunting will depend on you, little guy. You'd better show some value, or I will definitely cook you."

Inside the car heading to the Special Section Headquarters.

Zhou Ping looked at the silver-eared mouse hiding in Jiang Xia's trouser pocket and said in a threatening tone.

The silver-eared mouse poked out its little head and looked around. When it heard that it was going to be cooked, it was so scared that it quickly shrank back and dared not show its head again.

Jiang Xia glared at Zhou Ping, then took out a spirit stone and put it in his trouser pocket. Soon, the silver-eared mouse sniffed the scent of the spirit stone, poked out its little head, its big eyes filled with joy, and opened its mouth to swallow it.

Finish eating the spirit stones.

Jiang Xia asked, "Yin Er, can you detect some treasures like Geng Jin?"

The silver-eared mouse nodded its little head repeatedly.

Jiang Xia stroked its soft fur and whispered, "Then I'll rely on you to help me find it from now on."

squeak squeak.

The silver-eared mouse patted its chest with its little paws, as if it was relying on me.

Come to the General Administration.

Haven't even walked in the door yet.

Director Wang and Director Peng came out to greet them, followed by many captains, including Captain Wu, Captain Yuan, and Captain Han from Beiyuan City.

When Zhou Ping saw this scene, he knew in his heart what they were doing here. They must be here to extort money. The news from South Africa must have reached them.

"Hahaha, Zhou Ping, you really made our country proud this time in South Africa!"

Director Wang laughed.

Several people came forward and shook hands one by one, exchanging a few words.

Come to the office.

Director Peng took the initiative to bring up the matter of the refined gold mine.

The other captains stood guard at the door, eavesdropping. While refined gold was far inferior to Gengjin, its value to the Special Section captain was immense. A palm-sized crystal was worth 300 spirit stones on a spaceship. Refined gold was an excellent material for refining magical instruments.

There are many captains who still don’t have any magical weapons in their hands.

Therefore.

After they learned the news of Zhou Ping's return, they immediately rushed over from various regions.

Zhou Ping did collect a lot of refined gold crystals while escaping. Originally, it would have taken him a lot of effort and time to dig them out, but the stone tripod regained some of its power and directly shook out the refined gold ores, making it naturally very easy to collect them.

However, compared to the huge refined gold mine, he only collected less than a few tons with the help of the Jiaolong magic weapon armor and the storage bag. But he couldn't say this. At that time, only he and Jiang Xia stayed deep underground in the mine. As a result, so many refined gold and stone mines disappeared. If he said it had nothing to do with him, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Fortunately, the practitioners outside don’t know how much pure gold mine there is, they only know that there is some underneath.

"Director Peng, there isn't much refined gold ore deep underground in the mine. I brought back about 5,000 kilograms."

Director Wang once told him not to eat alone.

Moreover.

This trip to South Africa was indeed ordered by Director Wang.

Zhou Ping got a lot of good things. Taking out some of the refined gold can be regarded as an explanation to Director Wang. It can also improve the strength of the special department. According to the calculation of spirit stones, these five thousand kilograms are equivalent to tens of thousands of spirit stones.

"Five thousand pounds?!"

Director Wang and Director Peng showed joy in their eyes.

Of course, they both knew that these were only the ones on the surface, and Zhou Ping must have more. But no matter what, these refined golds were all obtained by Zhou Ping. If Zhou Ping had not killed the Evil King Tang, these refined golds would have been difficult to obtain.

"good very good!"

"Zhou Ping, you've done a great deed this time!"

Director Wang laughed.

Captain Wu, Captain Yuan and other captains who were eavesdropping near the door were also very excited. They could definitely apply for a lot of 5,000 kilograms of refined gold. Even if they had to buy it on credit temporarily, they could still get some, and then they could refine magic weapons.

As a monk.

They all knew how much having a powerful magic weapon would improve their own combat capabilities.

"Those bastards outside, go do what you need to do!"

Director Wang roared.

Immediately, Captain Yuan, Captain Wang and others ran away.

After they leave.

Director Wang patted Zhou Ping on the shoulder and said with emotion, "I didn't expect your strength to be so strong that you were able to kill even the Evil King Tang. Now you can be called the strongest person in the world. The refined gold you obtained this time is also highly valued by the higher-ups. I believe that you will be given a new appointment soon."

Zhou Ping was stunned. "New appointment?"

Director Peng said with a smile, "You're very popular now, even surpassing Lei Jiming from the three major groups. So many people above you are optimistic about you, and some resources will be allocated to you. You have always been interested in ancient ruins, right? I guess the higher-ups will allocate some exploration rights to you and let you be responsible for exploring the ancient ruins."

Zhou Ping's eyes lit up. This was indeed what he wanted. To be honest, he had forced his way into the Qingcheng ruins and the Lishan ruins. If it weren't for Director Wang's support behind the scenes, he would definitely be punished.

Now that he has the right to explore, he can explore various ruins openly in the future, and most importantly, he can mobilize resources.

Chatted for a while.

Zhou Ping walked out of the office.

"Haha, Captain Zhou, you were really awesome in South Africa this time!"

"Captain Zhou, awesome."

"Tsk tsk, now that old fellow Evil King Tang is dead, those rats in the Evil Society who are hiding their heads and showing their tails won't have much good time any longer."

Many special department captains surrounded Zhou Ping and praised him.

Zhou Ping said hurriedly, "It was luck. The underground environment restricted the opponent, which gave me the opportunity..."

Captain Yuan shook his head and said, "Being able to kill a top-tier warrior like the Evil King Tang is not something that can be achieved by luck. Zhou Ping, you don't have to be so modest. Do you have time? Let's go have a drink."

Although she is a woman, she is very generous and can drink well.

"Okay."

Zhou Ping was also very excited, so he immediately went to have dinner with Captain Wu, Captain Yuan and others.

Others who have a more ordinary relationship with Zhou Ping can only envy him.

Everyone knew that from today on, Zhou Ping was already the strongest person in the world. Although they were shocked, they were more excited and happy. After all, Zhou Ping was from the special department.

"Zhou Ping, when did you break through to the foundation-building stage?"

When having dinner and drinking.

Captain Wu couldn't help but ask.

Captain Yuan, Captain Han and the others also looked at Zhou Ping curiously.

"I was just lucky. I was on a spaceship... but then Director Wang blocked this news..."

To expose one's own strength.

Zhou Ping had already thought of his response. Firstly, he had good spiritual roots, which Captain Wu could prove. In addition, he had extremely strong combat power, so it was normal for him to get some opportunities of space ships. With Director Wang's help in concealing it, everything would naturally come to fruition.

Captain Wu and Captain Yuan were envious but had no doubts. After all, with the spaceship, everything was possible. The world's top powers like Evil King Tang and Captain America all relied on luck to rise to become foundation-building masters in a short period of time.

As for the matter of pure gold.

They didn't ask. Anyway, as long as the refined gold was in the special department, they would have the opportunity to get some.

Two days later.

There was indeed news from above.

office.

Director Wang smiled and said, "Indeed, the position of the National Emergency Response Team Headquarters has been vacant for a long time, but now it's finally filled. Captain Zhou, your status and position are now no less than mine."

Zhou Ping said hurriedly, "Director Wang, you're joking. I'm no match for you. By the way, what else can this position oversee?"

"rest assured."

"The Emergency Response Team Headquarters can be responsible for all incidents nationwide, including matters concerning ruins. This is a special addition."

Director Wang handed Zhou Ping another file. "This contains all the information and clues about possible ruins both domestically and abroad. It's very detailed. After you've read it, burn it. This is top secret in our country."

Zhou Ping nodded, then opened it impatiently. With his strong spiritual sense, he memorized all the information in one glance. After reading it, he was surprised. He didn't expect that in addition to Mount Tai, Qinling Mountains, Kunlun Mountains and other places, there were also Tianshan Mountains and the sea, as well as remote places like the Qingcheng ruins.

Although they are all marked as suspected, judging from the clues, 60% of them are ancient ruins hidden, and most of them are consistent with what the formation spirit said. The most important thing is that there are many clues in it. As long as you find these places and clues, you can enter the ruins.

"Guigu, Jing'an Si, Shennong Palace...even these mysterious forces exist!"

Only then did he realize how top-secret the information in the files was.
