Chapter 62: Red Flame Fire Iron

Ye Yang sighed secretly.

This world is a mess.

The young girl who was humiliated to death by Long Gang, and the refugees who followed them and picked up leftovers to eat.

Dong Li, who was struggling to make ends meet, was burned to death in a fire.

"In this world where the strong prey on the weak, the stronger the person, the better they can live, while the weaker the person, the more they are bullied. Even an accident can prevent a person from seeing the sun tomorrow."

……

Dong Li left very little for Ye Yang, just seven or eight dull-colored spirit stones, which obviously had been saved for a long time.

There is also a gold bracelet of excellent quality, which may be a gift he bought for his wife.

Among lower-level monks, gold and silver are sometimes hard currency.

At this time, Long Gang also organized the caravan again.

But morale was low and everyone looked miserable.

The caravan was back on the road at a very fast speed.

At night, when everyone was resting, Ye Yang secretly returned alone and moved the bluestone slabs.

He got what he had hidden, then quickly returned and caught up with everyone.

……

The Feitianmen caravan will pass through four places: Green Forest Mountain, Changqingchuan, Ninghai County, and the Dry Bone Forest.

It takes a total of more than 1,800 miles to reach Shanhaiguan.

Because of the previous experience, Long Gang is extremely low-key.

A group of people left before dawn and rested at night.

When passing Green Forest Mountain, there were already bandits blocking the road. After we paid a symbolic protection fee, we were able to pass through unhindered.

Only Ye Yang looked at the Green Forest Mountain and thought of Yan Qingying.

I don’t know how Yan Qingying is doing now as she is chasing the Flying Tiger Bandits in Green Forest Mountain.

Green Forest Mountain is a place where bandits cultivate, and the nearby sects have long intended to unite to eradicate them.

However, behind Green Forest Mountain stood the Thirteen Great Bandits of the North Sea. Many sects had surrounded and suppressed them several times but to no avail, so they gave up.

Later, the two sides set a rule that people traveling along the trade route had to pay a road construction fee. The bandits wanted a steady and long-term income, while the trade route wanted the safety of people and vehicles and the safe delivery of goods.

Gradually it became an unwritten rule.

……

On the morning of the 28th day, Ye Yang and his group finally arrived at Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan, Shanhaiguan, actually refers to Shanguan and Customs.

Shanguan is located among the mountains, with thousands of hills and valleys, and a majestic city rising from the ground.

The city wall is three meters thick and towers into the clouds, like a dragon coiled among the clouds, majestic and magnificent.

The Customs Pass is opposite to the Mountain Pass, standing on the vast East China Sea, and is the gateway to and from the ocean and land.

Inscribed on the customs sign are large gilded characters with a flamboyant style: "Zhenhai Tower".

The Shanhai Pass and Hai Pass have existed for thousands of years, with an astonishing amount of people coming and going every day.

When a group of people arrived near Shanhaiguan, they joined up with many merchant caravans, formed a team and entered the mountain pass.

Above their heads, there are flying beasts of burden, or transport boats.

Casting a large, mottled black shadow on the ground.

Seeing these flying beasts of burden and boats, the group of people couldn't help but look at them with envy.

Flying beasts are expensive to make and are considered strategic items for the sect, so they are rarely sold to the outside world.

You can only cultivate it by yourself, and it is difficult to grow. Only big forces can cultivate it.

The casting requirements for flying warships are even higher. They are dozens of feet long and seven or eight feet wide.

Currently, there are only a few large sects that have the ability to cast, which is an external manifestation of a sect's strength.

“Feitianmen, Feitianmen, I wonder when Feitianmen will be able to live up to its name!”

Ye Yang sighed. Feitianmen only had a few small flying instruments that could only carry three or four people.

There was not a single large flying warship or flying beast of burden. Shanhaiguan was just around the corner, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that the hardships along the way were all worth it.

"Everyone follow me."

As soon as Long Gang gave a call, everyone filed in and entered the mountain pass.

Most of these goods have already been pre-ordered and only need to be delivered within a fixed time.

A small number of private goods are prepared to go to the free exchange zone, where they buy low and sell high to make a profit from the difference.

The rest of the things were no longer Ye Yang's job, so he sat cross-legged in the room.

This mission was basically coming to an end. After a little thought, Ye Yang edited a paragraph.

Long Gang: Male
Position: Protector of the Trade Route

The inspection results are as follows:

Virtue: Arrogant and domineering, disregarding human life, fond of visiting prostitutes, raping women, disregarding the laws of the sect, and having a weak sense of discipline.

Ability: Bold and reckless, occasionally losing control, but able to remain calm when faced with danger.

Diligent: no hard work, no abnormality.

Results: Average, no abnormalities found.

Lian: I heard that there were cases of people taking advantage of their positions to buy low and sell high, and mixing private goods, but I did not find anything unusual.

After thinking about it, Ye Yang crossed out this line of words and added a few more sentences.

As the investigation was conducted over a short period of time, no evidence was found.

This becomes:

Lian: I heard that there seemed to be some people taking advantage of their position to buy low and sell high, and smuggling goods. However, the investigation time was too short and we were unable to find any evidence.

In this case, the responsibility will not be on our side. After Ye Yang finished writing, he heavily wrote his name.

Investigator: Ye Yang
After finishing it, Ye Yang took out a bone whistle and blew it gently.

About an hour later, a white dove flew over from a distance. After Ye Yang confirmed that it was the correct one, he tied the paper to its legs.

The white dove flapped its wings and quickly flew away.

The next morning, another white dove flew back and Zhang Li replied with a message.

"It's very well written, but the writing needs to be refined. I wish you good health."

Ye Yang touched his nose and didn't care anymore. This meant that Zhang Li was not in a hurry to submit.

If it is really urgent, he will make some changes and send it to Zhang Li, and then Zhang Li will use it.

Otherwise, if you submit it too early, all your efforts will be wasted.

Taking advantage of the morning sunshine, Ye Yang performed the Elephant Demon Fist a hundred times and felt his whole body relaxed and his muscles firm.

He carefully took out his backpack, which contained the harvest from this time in Fox Fairy Temple.

Along the way, in order to avoid exposing himself, Ye Yang was careful not to open it.

There's no one around here, so it's a good time to count the harvest.

Ye Yang counted them carefully and found that most of them were scattered spirit stones. He roughly counted and found that there were about four or five hundred pieces.

In addition, there are some precious refining materials.

As for elixirs, spiritual herbs, etc., their spiritual energy has been exhausted after a long period of time and exposure to the negative energy, and they can no longer be used.

"This piece of red flame iron is quite good. It can be used as the main material for a magic weapon."

The refining of magical instruments generally follows the rules of monarch, ministers, assistants and messengers.

The King is the main material, and the Minister is the auxiliary material. Only by combining the two can the power of the magic weapon be maximized.

The main material is precious and hard to come by. This piece of red flame fire iron is filled with the aura of fire.

It can be used as one of the main materials for forging mid-grade magical tools, and it is quite expensive.

As for other casting materials, they are not as good as before and can only be used as auxiliary materials.

Then, Ye Yang lined up three storage bags in a row.

These three storage bags were carefully selected by him and accounted for the bulk of this harvest.
