Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 56 Fish Pond lv2

Watching Qiu Qianhai's excited back, Ji Yuan guessed that he really had some good treasure.

Otherwise, how could one obtain more than a pound of cold iron sand in a single day?

Let alone digging, even if Ji Yuan himself spent spirit stones to buy them, he might not be able to buy this many.

So what kind of amazing treasure does he have?

Ji Yuan glanced back at the stone house to make sure everything was alright before following Qiu Qianhai to the shore. He first put a water-repelling talisman on himself, then summoned the Black Wind Boat and descended, following Qiu Qianhai into the Clear Wave Pool.

Qiu Qianhai was already waiting underwater when Ji Yuan drove his boat to his side.

Although both of them had water-repelling talismans on their bodies, these low-grade talismans only allowed them to breathe freely in the water, and they still had to rely on hand gestures to communicate with each other.

Alternatively, you could replace it with a mid-grade water-repelling talisman.

Ji Yuan put away the Dharma boat, and Qiu Qianhai pointed to the small patch of sand in front of him.

Ji Yuan looked at him in confusion, and he nodded vigorously, then took out an iron rake and a sand net and handed them over.

The meaning is obvious: there is cold iron sand here, and he wants Ji Yuan to dig it up.

"???"

Although Ji Yuan was somewhat incredulous, he still took the tools and started digging in the sand. But before he could dig a few times, he saw a faint blue light.

Holy crap, it really exists?!

He quickly turned to look at Qiu Qianhai beside him and found the latter looking at him with a half-smile.

Even without saying a word, Ji Yuan knew what he was thinking. He was probably thinking... How about it? Am I, Qiu Qianhai, fierce or not?

That's incredible, absolutely incredible.

After Ji Yuan dug up about an ounce of cold iron sand, Qiu Qianhai left, looking around as if he were searching for more cold iron sand.

Having just experienced this, Ji Yuan obediently followed behind him, wanting to see how he would find it.

But before they had gone far, Qiu Qianhai suddenly squatted down and used his object manipulation technique to move a stone.

This time, there was no need to dig anymore. As soon as the stone was moved, Ji Yuan saw a pale blue halo.

Needless to say, dig!

While Ji Yuan was digging here, Qiu Qianhai had already gone to find the next location with cold iron sand.

After Ji Yuan finished digging and got up, Qiu Qianhai started digging himself, working hard in front of a small sand dune.

Ji Yuan rushed over to help.

As a result, even more cold iron sand was unearthed from this location.

It weighed more than three ounces.

By the time they finished digging this place, it was already quite dark.

The underwater area was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

If it weren't for the fact that this cold iron sand itself emits a faint blue light, it would probably be impossible to even see where to dig.

The two were forced to drive the boat back to shore. After getting out of the water, Ji Yuan looked at the half pound of cold iron sand that he had just dug out of his storage bag.

It's somewhat unbelievable.

How long has it been?

It's only been about half an hour, right? Half an hour, half a pound of cold iron sand?

Not to mention that it's useful to me, if I were to sell it... the price has gone up again at the Water Dragon Sect. A pound of cold iron sand can now sell for 20 spirit stones.

So half an hour is 10 spirit stones.

20 coins in an hour... This isn't mining, it's practically picking up money!

After the two entered the house, Ji Yuan looked Qiu Qianhai up and down carefully, then asked, "You... opened it?"

He originally wanted to ask, "You opened one too?", but in the end he abandoned the word "too".

"What do you mean by 'open' or 'not open'?"

Qiu Qianhai clearly did not understand the meaning behind Ji Yuan's words.

"The question is, how did you accurately locate this cold iron sand?"

Ji Yuan had just looked very carefully. Qiu Qianhai had never made a mistake. Wherever he said it was, it really was there. It was as if he had X-ray vision and could see the situation in the sand.

This matter must involve Qiu Qianhai's secrets. If he hadn't revealed anything, Ji Yuan certainly wouldn't have asked.

But now that he's been exposed, Ji Yuan naturally has to ask him.

"Hey."

Qiu Qianhai smiled. He first went to the door and looked around to make sure no one was outside before returning.

Ji Yuan went even further, sticking a low-grade first-tier silent note on the wall.

In this way, no matter how loud the sound is inside the room, it cannot escape.

Seeing this, Qiu Qianhai felt relieved. He walked up to Ji Yuan, carefully took something out of his chest, held it in his hand, and opened it.

"Come, look at this."

Ji Yuan looked over and saw that what was lying in Qiu Qianhai's palm was... a finger bone?

It's a small section of a finger bone, so white it shines, as if it's been handled and polished for a long time.

"You were able to find Cold Iron Sand because of this?"

Ji Yuan found it hard to believe; how could this finger bone contain cold iron sand?

"Um."

Qiu Qianhai nodded vigorously and said confidently, "You'll know once you take out a bit of the Cold Iron Sand."

"OK."

Ji Yuan then took out a small bag of cold iron sand and placed it on the stone table, spreading it out.

It happened the very moment he took it out.

The finger bone, which was originally white, suddenly lit up with a light blue glow.

Qiu Qianhai brought it closer to the cold iron sand, and the light became even brighter.

The further away you move it, the dimmer it becomes.

"how?"

Qiu Qianhai looked up and asked with a grin.

Seeing that Ji Yuan still looked incredulous, he tossed the finger bone over.

Ji Yuan took it and tried it on the cold iron sand himself. He found that it was indeed true, and only then did he have to believe it.

"This finger bone is a real treasure."

He returned it to Qiu Qianhai.

The latter casually took it and put it into his storage bag, while Ji Yuan also put away the Cold Iron Sand.

"So, how much cold iron sand do you still need?"

Qiu Qianhai asked.

Ji Yuan sensed the storage bag and estimated that it weighed almost 3.5 jin (1.25 kg).

"About two pounds short."

Just to be on the safe side, Ji Yuan called out a few more times.

"What's so difficult about that?!"

Qiu Qianhai waved his hand and said, "Get some rest early tonight, prop your pillow up. It's just two pounds of cold iron sand, I'll take care of it for you tomorrow."

"With my precious baby around, it's like finding a dead end every day."

After Qiu Qianhai finished speaking, he went back.

Ji Yuan also recovered from his brief joy and surprise... He wasn't the only one with such opportunities; Dong Qian, who had already joined the Water Dragon Sect, and Qiu Qianhai, who was now, also had their own opportunities.

And in a small place like Yunyuze, those who have the opportunity to be there are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

Not to mention the entire Canglu Continent.

It's unclear where Qiu Qianhai got this finger bone. Did he only get this one finger bone, or did he get the entire skeleton?

Judging from what just happened, these remains are most likely the remains of some powerful being.

If that's the case, did Qiu Qianhai receive the inheritance from this powerful being?

Or, if he had already obtained the finger bone, why didn't he take it out before? Did he just find the finger bone, or did he find it a long time ago but only discover its function in the last two days?

Although Ji Yuan had many questions in his mind, he didn't ask Qiu Qianhai because Qiu Qianhai didn't say anything.

The fact that someone would share the secret of this finger bone with you already shows a great deal of trust.

"call--"

However, it's always good to have an opportunity. With Qiu Qianhai's finger bone, upgrading the [Fish Pond] is no longer a problem.

Ji Yuan practiced diligently all night, and the next day, the two of them set sail early.

The cold iron sand near this island has been almost completely mined out, so the two deliberately changed to a more distant location, just like yesterday.

Qiu Qianhai searches, Ji Yuan digs; only in this way can efficiency be maximized.

As a result, after a day's work, let alone two pounds... when the two of them weighed themselves after getting home, they had scooped out a full three pounds!

If this were converted into spirit stones, there would be a full sixty of them!

"Two pounds is enough for me."

Ji Yuan returned the remaining pound to Qiu Qianhai.

All the cold iron sand that has been dug up these past few days has gone to Ji Yuan. Qiu Qianhai has basically been working for free, without receiving a single penny of payment or uttering a single complaint.

"Is that enough?"

Qiu Qianhai weighed the remaining pound of cold iron sand in his hand. "If it's not enough, just tell me."

"That's enough, that's enough."

"Okay, then tomorrow, whatever we find, we'll split it in half, the usual way."

Qiu Qianhai said excitedly.

Ji Yuan had originally planned to go back once he had collected enough Cold Iron Sand to upgrade the [Fish Pond], but now, seeing Qiu Qianhai's expectant eyes...

Fine, I'll stay a few more days then.

If the Qin family really attacks again, Qiu Qianhai will have someone to help him.

"That's fine, as long as you don't feel like you're losing out."

Ji Yuan smiled. If he stayed here to mine cold iron sand, he would be completely taking advantage of Qiu Qianhai's opportunity.

"What do you mean by that? You've saved my life twice already, and this time you even came all the way from Zengtou City to save me. Without you, I'd be overgrown with weeds by now, let alone mining here."

Qiu Qianhai seemed a little angry, and then got up and left in a huff.

Ji Yuan watched his retreating figure but didn't chase after him. He looked at the "(Completed)" next to "Fish Pond" on the panel and, without further hesitation, immediately chose to upgrade.

The panel has been refreshed.

The [Fish Pond] has been upgraded to level 2, and the effects and upgrade conditions for level 3 [Fish Pond] have also appeared.
