From a young medicine seller to a Taoist master

The large oil field of Qinghai Yin Sect was established after its leader sacrificed several of his good friends and basically leveled the mountain range.

This came at a huge cost, and Yingchuan could not replicate it.

There are huge reserves of black oil in the deep sea, and only Yuanying can have a chance to get a share of it, and there are only a few who have settled here.

This is a fertile land that is rarely exploited, but it is too dangerous. Basically, there is a rule that only sects with more than two members can set up a station here.

Yingchuan dived several thousand meters into the deep sea.

Most of the creatures here are monsters, and ordinary creatures are extremely rare. Yingchuan came to a trench.

Someone had explored here in the past, and found out there was a medium-sized oil field underneath, but that person encountered a great terror. Although he managed to escape, he died of poisoning not long after. His death was miserable, and it scared away many Jindan who wanted to come here.

Yingchuan looked at the huge strait under his feet with mixed feelings, but he didn't stop for long and went straight in.

If he can't win, he can still escape, so he is not worried.

There are no living things here, only some spiritual materials.

Yingchuan does have a medium-sized oil field underneath it, but Yingchuan has no experience in dealing with so much oil and feels it is a bit tricky to deal with so much black oil.

But it was impossible to find someone, so Yingchuan didn't think about it and started digging directly.

This oil field is approximately 7,000 meters underground. It is considered a shallow oil field and is extremely rare.

Soon there was only one meter of rock layer left. Ying Chuan stopped. He had to be extremely careful next time, otherwise he would be covered by the huge amount of black oil again and again, and his spiritual sense would be almost destroyed.

This will be fatal. Once a cultivator's spiritual consciousness is destroyed, the cultivator will lose the ability to detect, and all aspects will be greatly affected, and his combat effectiveness will plummet to freezing point.

Yingchuan moved away for a distance, tore apart the layer of rock, and a huge amount of black oil gushed out.

Yingchuan threw out a storage ring and kept collecting things. The opening he made was very small, so Yingchuan could use the space to make his move.

Yingchuan kept making hand gestures to collect the black oil.

But such a big commotion would definitely attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.

Sure enough, in the dark and silent ocean, a pair of blood-red pupils opened, and it was unknown what kind of creature it was, secretly sneaking towards Yingchuan.

While Yingchuan was concentrating on refining the black oil, he asked Ying Zijian to protect him.

Ying Zijian felt that something was approaching here, and he was ready to respond and take action at any time.

A swift figure kept shuttling back and forth in the water, like a ghost.

Ying Zijian noticed it but did not act immediately. He had never seen such a thing before and was not sure what methods it had, so he had to wait until he took action first.

The long and narrow tunnel is completely useless. It is as if it does not exist in front of it, and it keeps passing through.

Yingzi seized the opportunity and took action directly, freezing the entire tunnel and firing a chain of lightning.

The monster was first frozen, and then hit by a chain of lightning. Its bones were shattered, a lot of blood mist appeared, and it was knocked flying.

Ying Zijian took advantage of the victory and launched a crescent-shaped water blade, forcing the enemy to retreat again.

Ying Zijian's body twisted and turned, and he used his footwork to slash at him with an extremely sharp sword, leaving a big crack in the entire tunnel.

Ying Zijian cut off his head with two sword strikes, which is one of the starting moves of the sword technique.

He was still struggling at first, but after studying them all, he discovered the mystery. The "Sword Art" focuses more on the basic sword style and foundation, while the "Nameless Sword Classic" passed down by the King of Qin focuses more on the power at that moment and breaking all the techniques with one sword.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Yingchuan has a foundation in swordsmanship, so he can be compatible with both. Otherwise, he will go astray if he is not careful.

Ying Zijian pulled its body back. Although he had cut off its head, the hard scales prevented its head from being separated.

This is a monster in the late Jindan stage, an adult individual. Ying Zijian found a poison gland in its claws. This is the monster that killed the cultivator.

It is a humanoid creature over two meters tall, with scales on its back and its body covered with streamlined black-gray scales. It has sharp teeth in its mouth, exuding blue blood, and has multiple rows of teeth in its mouth. It is a predatory monster and has no luminous organs on its body.

This is not a mermaid, but a merman, or more accurately a fishman and a lizardman. It has a flat tail that helps it move, and its claws are extremely sharp, comparable to the sword in Ying Zijian's hand.

With these cultivators who are comparable to a peak Jindan level cultivator, it’s no wonder that man was defeated so easily.

Before coming here, Yingchuan had made a systematic study of this place and had heard of this kind of creature.

According to some older monks, these "mermaids" would come ashore and commit crimes on certain nights. In some fishing villages, except for a few lucky ones, all the others would be killed.

It usually lands on foggy days, accompanied by a huge amount of fishy odor.

According to some, these "mermaids" have an ancient kingdom, Guixu, in the deepest part of the Thetis Sea.

However, this thing is full of treasures. Its blood can drive away sea monsters. As the overlord of the sea, this is normal.

Fatty oil can be used to make lamp oil for heiming lanterns, which can last for thousands of years. This was an experiment done by a certain idle god. It does not go out when in contact with water and is a very good lighting tool.

Bones are a very good choice for refining weapons. A body of scale skin can be refined into armor to make excellent golden elixir protective gear, or it can be used to hide information in front of its companions. The vision of these creatures is highly degraded, and they mainly rely on breath, which is why there are lucky people.

Yingchuan was not sure whether this was a group of birds, so he did not let his guard down.

A big part of the reason why that man was killed was that he was too low in vigilance. A normal person would have been ecstatic to find a medium-sized oil field alone, so it was no wonder that he was ambushed.

After Ying Zijian dealt with it, he continued to protect the law.

Yingchuan didn't feel tired at all at this moment. He had no idea that no one would find counting money tiring.

His technique gradually became more skillful, and he could now do it effortlessly, not much worse than those masters who had been practicing for hundreds of years.

In fact, black oil can be collected not only manually, but also by mechanical means, which is much more convenient and consumes a small amount of black oil. However, large forces generally do not do this. With ready-made cheap cattle and horses, why would they use this?

This is also the reason why the art of mechanisms has not prospered. In fact, except for some specific times, most of the art of mechanisms is not the best choice, and the threshold is high. People with this ability will not go too deep into it, and a superficial understanding is enough.

Yingchuan is one of them. He has no interest in mechanical devices. To him, these things are just chicken ribs. It would be a pity to throw them away if there is no meat to eat.

He has now collected hundreds of kilograms. According to Yingchuan's guess, the net reserves of this oil field are about three hundred tons. It's less than three hundred tons, but it's not a small amount.
