Tang Mo was waiting for the arrival of the head of the Lin family in the side hall. After about half a quarter of an hour, the head of the Lin family appeared outside the door of the side hall. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, looking red and full of wealth.
When the middle-aged man saw Tang Mo and Zi Ye, he immediately smiled and said, "I heard that you are going to ask me to do business. It's good to do business. The businessmen are all customers. Please sit down quickly."
Tang Mo also smiled and said, "There is indeed a big business to talk to you about. How about 100,000 stones?"
The head of the Lin family said, "One hundred thousand yuan is indeed a big business, very big, I don't know how long it will take."
Tang Mo smiled and said, "It's neither long nor short. I've been ten years, I wonder if the Lin family dares to take this order?"
The head of the Lin family hesitated for a moment. Ten years were not too long, but too short. You should know that the most time spent on digging stones was time.
"Marble with a market price of 800 yuan per piece is at most 50 yuan cheaper," said the head of the Lin family.
"Trade" Tang Mo said that this order business was completed.
Then there was the agreement to rob, and Tang Mo said he hoped to get more stones first. Simply put, it was to take as much as there were.
The head of the Lin family readily agreed, saying that the current stock of the Lin family is about 20,000 yuan, and asked Tang Mo if he could eat it.
It was naturally impossible for Tang Mo to be unable to eat it. He paid the deposit and payment directly, received the approval document, and had to take away the Lin family's stones that night.
"Those stones are extremely heavy, does Miss Mo need some help?" asked the head of the Lin family again.
"No need" Tang Mo shook her head. She had her own means, but she didn't have to tell the head of the Lin family.
That night, Tang Mo went directly to the Lin Family Stone Farm. There were naturally someone to monitor the Lin Family Stone Farm. Tang Mo did not shy away and directly used the fairy field space to load the stone away.
The Lin family servants and workers present were shocked and the news quickly spread to the head of the Lin family that Miss Mo just waved out of thin air and the stones disappeared automatically, which was the legendary magical figure.
After hearing this, the head of the Lin family became more awe of Tang Mo and did not dare to have any small thoughts. He just hoped that the immortals would not be angry.
Tang Mo moved away the stones in stock from the Lin family, but the purpose of this time was not achieved. She had to continue to buy other types of stones, at least to buy special stones suitable for building the underground palace.
After leaving Tiannan City, Tang Mo began to inquire about the places where stones are abundant. After inquiring from many sources, Tang Mo heard a special place name, Shicheng again.
Stone City is a town that is said to be rich in granite rocks.
Tang Mo knew that granite was a very strong rock and was suitable for building underground palaces.
So Tang Mo went straight to Shicheng.
Tang Mo brought Xiao Zi to Shicheng, where granite was everywhere, and the streets and alleys were all industries related to granite.
Tang Mo came to the largest granite trading market in Shicheng, found the largest vendor here, and discussed with the other party about buying granite.
After this question, Tang Mo realized that the yield of granite was not high because it was extremely difficult to dig.
Therefore, Tang Mo has no plans to buy granite for the time being. Buying hundreds of dollars at a time is just a drop in the bucket for Tang Mo.
On the third day of Tang Mo's stay in Shicheng, he finally waited for the news she wanted.
The county government in Shicheng is about to hold an auction. The auction is neither antique treasures nor strange medicine beauties, but the granite mining rights in the Huashishan Mountains outside Shicheng.
Unlike later generations, the mining rights of the Ming Dynasty were managed by the local government. Although Tang Mo had recovered the mining rights of iron ore in order to make weapons, the mining rights of other minerals were still in the hands of local governments.
The mining rights auction will officially begin two days later, and Tang Mo waited for another two days. During these two days, Tang Mo bought tickets for the mining rights auction from a small merchant.
Finally, today is the day when the mining rights auction officially begins. After breakfast early in the morning, Tang Mo took Xiao Zi to the local county government.
The location of this mining rights auction is in the county government office.
Tang Mo and Xiao Zi entered the venue together and found two seats to sit down.
Other participants from the auction came in one after another. Soon the entire auction venue was filled with people, the gate was closed by the yamen runners, and the auction conference officially began.
The host of the auction was the master in the county government under Shicheng. The master walked up to the high platform in the middle with a gavel.
He bowed down and then started an auction.
Behind him was a simple map of the mountains around the stone city, with many areas divided on the map.
"Everyone, now we will start auctioning the mining rights of granite in Longshanling area, Longshanling No. 1, with a starting price, an annual rent of 100 taels, and a lease of no less than ten years."
The auctioneers below raised their hands one after another, and the price quickly soared to 200 taels.
After reaching 200 taels, the amount of additional additions was less. At this time, Tang Mo raised his hand and added ten taels.
Then Tang Mo won the No. 1 area at a rent of 210 years.
Next, at the auction of the second area, Tang Mo won the auction for 220 taels.
Then, Tang Mo took all of them in Area 3, Area 4, and to Area 7.
These seven areas are connected into one, which is a mining area that Tang Mo is quite satisfied with.
The entire Longshan Ridge accounts for 20% of the Shishan Mountains, and Tang Mo took 60% of them. Since the remaining areas 8, 9, 10 and 11 were separated, Tang Mo gave up all the remaining areas.
After the auction of Area 11 was also completed, this auction ended.
Tang Mo got the mining rights he wanted and immediately left here.
After leaving the county government office, Tang Mo went to look for workers. She needed to mark the scope of her mining area and enclose her mining area with a fence wall.
Tang Mo was busy looking for workers. After three days, he finally hired more than 100 workers and began to build walls on the edge of his mining area.
This is a local tradition in Shicheng. Merchants who mine quarries will enclose their mining areas.
The construction of the wall is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The main purpose of Tang Mo building the wall is to reduce his current influence. After all, the Heavenly Court is still under construction, and it is far from the time when it is necessary to expand its influence. Moreover, Tang Mo has always been aiming at the goal of a hidden sect to expose the Heavenly Court, but he never thought of exposing the Heavenly Court to the lives of ordinary people.
It took dozens of days to build the walls. The built wall was a wooden wall four or five meters high, which could perfectly block the people outside's sight and keep the secrets inside the walls.
After the wall was built, Tang Mo began to mine the quarry with Xiao Zi. Tang Mo directly used his magic power to mine it. The speed was extremely fast. In less than half a minute, he could mine a piece of stone.
One day and one night passed, and Tang Mo mined 4,000 pieces of stones. Tang Mo was quite satisfied with this speed.
After another twenty-five days of mining, Tang Mo basically mined all the stones on the surface, and then he had to dig underground.
Then Tang Mo continued to mine with his magic power. After more than a hundred days and nearly two hundred days, he finally dug all the stones that can be dug underground. In order to prevent secret leakage, Tang Mo did not dig directly on the ground, but used the tunnel to dig. Therefore, from the surface, there was no special point.
For a total of 205 days, Tang Mo had been digging stones. After so long, she got 800,000 pieces of granite stones, and a corner of the fairyland space was piled up.
With these 800,000 pieces of granite stone, Tang Mo can finally continue to build the underground palace.
Tang Mo took Xiao Zi and teleported back to the underground of Qingming Mountain.
Nearly a year has passed, and Xiao Zi has been following Tang Mo. Xiao Zi has become accustomed to teleportation. At this moment, following Tang Mo back to the ground of Qingming Mountain, Xiao Zi quickly reacted and said, "Master, we are back."
"Yes," Tang Mo nodded, and then said, "I'm going to continue to build the underground palace. You can go to that room to eat and rest."
Tang Mo handed over a pile of food to Xiao Zi, and then continued to build the underground palace by himself.
Over the past few days, Tang Mo has been immersed in the enthusiasm of work, and she has to build a sect with her own hands. What an exciting thing is this.
Tang Mo came to the place where he was excavated before and began to build a secret room. This time, with a huge amount of granite stone, Tang Mo was not impulsive, but maintained his usual method and began to build a simple stone room as before.
One stone chamber was born with the efforts of Tang Mo with both hands. Tang Mo continued to build more than a dozen stone chambers every day. After more than a hundred days, Tang Mo built a total of more than 1,600 stone chambers, and the first floor of the entire underground palace was officially completed.
Xiao Zi basically ate and then slept every day. For her, this kind of life is really boring, but there is no way. She has not yet obtained Tang Mo's permission to get the qualification to get the entry, so she is not qualified to practice the exercises for the time being.
After Tang Mo built the first floor of the underground palace, he began to build the second floor of the underground palace. This floor of the underground palace is a place for alchemy. Tang Mo built a stone chamber with a number similar to the first floor, which consumed nearly 10,000 pieces of granite material in total. In each stone chamber, there were no beds, tables and chairs, but stone tables for elixir furnaces and stone racks for placing materials.
The second floor took more than 100 days to build. After the two floors were built, it has been a year and a half since Xiao Zi entered the school.
Tang Mo finally decided to teach Xiao Zi something.
"Xiao Zi, I will pass on you a set of basic cultivation techniques. You can use them to practice. If you have good qualifications, I will pass on your subsequent techniques."
What Tang Mo wanted to pass to Xiao Zi was a cultivation technique called "Spiritual Sutra", which was exchanged in the Heavenly Realm Beads in the Immortal Field Space.
In order to carry the spiritual scriptures, Tang Mo bought a piece of jade and made a jade slip. Such jade slips are only used by ordinary people, but real immortals would not use such jade slips.
Because such jade slips have a short service life, they will collapse in just a hundred years and must be redeemed.
In other words, the martial arts that Tang Mo exchanged from the Heavenly Realm Pearl for mortals to practice are time-limited, and this limit is one hundred years.
After a year, Tang Mo also summoned again. The god she summoned was an ordinary heavenly soldier this time, which was worse than the last heavenly general, and had only one star combat power.
Helpless, but at least he is still a master at the level of the true immortal, at least he is more powerful than Tang Mo himself, so Tang Mo still let him stay in the fairy field space to rest.
There is a strong fairy aura in the fairy field space. These gods are very comfortable to stay inside and are unwilling to come out at all.
After Tang Mo taught Xiao Zi to learn the "Spirit of Spirit", Xiao Zi began to practice.
Of course, Xiao Zi has the talent for cultivation. Tang Mo believes that the so-called talent for cultivation can be called a spirit body, and this Xiao Zi should be a spirit body.
After Xiao Zi started practicing, she soon entered the stage of Qi training.
The cultivation stages of the Spirit Sutra are divided into five stages: Qi training, Foundation building, Spirit Condensation, Hunyuan, and Golden Pill. You can finally reach the Golden Pill realm when you practice.
After Xiao Zi entered the Qi training stage, she no longer needed to eat ordinary food. Tang Mo also had less trouble and did not take some time to deliver food to her.
In Xiao Zi's heart, she also had the idea of being motivated for the first time.
Tang Mo began to establish a set of methods to determine qualifications. She classified Xiao Zi's qualifications as medium-grade. Those who practiced ten times slower than Xiao Zi were lower-grade, and those who practiced ten times faster than Xiao Zi were higher-grade.
Tang Mo did not establish a top-quality qualification. She believed that the so-called top-quality qualification should not exist in this world.
Two-story underground palaces were built, but Tang Mo was not satisfied. This was just an underground palace for the disciples to live in. She also had her own underground palace to be built.
After leaving the underground palace, Tang Mo began to look for the entrance to excavation of the new underground palace. This entrance should be located in the residence of the master of the Heavenly Court to be built in the future. In the end, Tang Mo chose to set up another floating mountain outside the main peak of Qingming Mountain as his residence.
To build a floating mountain, powerful formations are indispensable.
Fortunately, there are many powerful formations in the Heavenly Realm Pearl for redemption. Tang Mo spent 10,000 heavenly realm points to exchange for the "Floating True Immortal Array" in the Heavenly Realm Pearl, which is a formation that can truly float a mountain range.
Tang Mo used his magic power to lift a mountain. This is how powerful Tang Mo's current magic power is, and he can lift the mountain out of thin air without any effort.
After Tang Mo raised the mountain, he began to use magic power to arrange the floating true immortal formation on the mountain. It took ten days and used 30% of the true immortal magic power to finally arrange the floating true immortal formation.
Tang Mo withdrew the magic power of the floating peak, but saw the towering peak floating out of nowhere in the sky, thousands of meters above Qingming Mountain. What a fairyland that can be described?
Tang Mo jumped and landed on the floating mountain peak. When he looked here, he couldn't feel that the mountain peak was floating. Because of the arrangement of the floating true immortal array, even if it was suspended in mid-air, the mountain peak was extremely stable and had no shaking at all.
Tang Mo teleported to the top of the mountain and stopped between two big trees. She thought this location was good and suitable for digging underground palaces.
Tang Mo used his magic power and pointed down gently. A circular hole more than one meter deep appeared out of thin air. Tang Mo decided to use this place as the entrance to his underground palace.
