Chapter 230 The Origin of Phoenix Blood Stone

The county magistrate looked at Lu Yang with gritted teeth, but could do nothing.

He didn't want to reveal this matter from the bottom of his heart, but things had come to this point and he had to tell it whether he wanted to or not.

The head of the Mo family looked like he was enjoying the show and was gloating over other people's misfortune.

The county magistrate sighed heavily and said, "Please come with me."

Everyone followed the county magistrate to the ground and headed straight for the mine.

"The mine collapse was false news announced to the public, and there is another hidden story inside."

The county magistrate was familiar with the place and led everyone into the end of the mine. He pressed a mechanism hidden on the wall, and with a rumbling sound, the stone door opened, leading to the interior of the mine.

This is an internal passage that only a few people know about. It has a secret formation that can avoid spiritual scanning. If there is a spiritual scan, what you see will be the scene simulated by the formation.

The head of the Mo family took it seriously and found that there was indeed a mysterious passage just as he had found out.

The further you go into the passage, the more you smell the pungent smell of blood, as if a major murder had occurred ahead, with corpses piled up like mountains and all the blood flowing.

When Lu Yang walked out of the cave and came to an open area, the smell of blood was overwhelming.

Fortunately, Lu Yang quickly adapted to the smell of blood and saw the scene clearly.

In the middle of the open space was a large pit, which was blood red. Countless stones protruded from the blood-colored lake, and were extremely bright in color. They were of similar quality to the Phoenix Blood Stone that Meng Jingzhou bought.

There were several people walking around the edge of the pit, pouring blood into the bloody lake from time to time.

“This, this is…”

The county magistrate explained helplessly: "This is the Phoenix Blood Stone that is being produced."

"The Phoenix Blood Stone is fake?" Meng Jingzhou was surprised. I spent 500,000 yuan to buy a fake one?

Li Haoran shook his head: "No, the blood in the pit is all phoenix blood. I have seen teacher use it when refining equipment, but the phoenix blood used by teacher is of higher quality than the one here."

"Mr. County Magistrate, who are these people?" A young man with red eyes walked over with red feathers around his neck.

He frowned and found the county magistrate, dissatisfied with his practice of bringing outsiders here.

The county magistrate sighed: "There is no other way. If I don't bring them here, I will be the one in trouble."

The young man with red eyes was about to explode. Bringing outsiders here meant that the matter was exposed. How would he explain to the clan leader when he returned? "These people are from the Daodao Sect. This is my grandson, the head of the Mo family."

"roll!"

"Ask about the Dao Sect?" The red-eyed young man looked at Lu Yang and the others in surprise. His expression kept changing, as if he was recalling something bad, and his attitude was no longer arrogant.

"Who is Yunzhi to you?"

"It's my senior sister."

"Who is Gan Tian to you?"

"She's my third senior sister." Lu Yang replied.

The third senior sister whom I have never met is called Gan Tian, ​​and she is currently training in the demon realm.

"So it's a fellow Taoist from the Daoist Sect who's here for a visit and inspection. Please come this way." The red-eyed young man made a 180-degree turn in his attitude, and put on a smile that was cordial and friendly.

The county magistrate's eyes twitched. He had never seen the red-eyed young man be so friendly to him before: "Let me introduce you. This is Jiang Shan, a member of the Phoenix Clan."

"Excuse me, Senior Jiang Shan, do you know the eldest and third senior sisters..."

"Oh, calling me Senior Jiang Shan is too formal. Just call me Little Jiang from now on." For some reason, Jiang Shan's attitude towards Lu Yang was particularly nice.

"As for Senior Yunzhi and Senior Gantian, they are especially kind to our Phoenix Clan. They also come to our Phoenix Clan to exchange ideas and teach us how to practice. I was also fortunate enough to receive their guidance."

"Of course. If possible, I mean possible, could you please go back and tell your eldest and third sisters to stop coming to our Phoenix Clan. The Dragon Clan is big, so go there."

Lu Yang: “…”

Senior Sister and Third Sister, what did you do in the Phoenix Clan? Su Yiren was also very curious. This behavior was different from the arrogant Phoenix Clan in the legend.

"I came here to find out what the Phoenix Blood Stone is all about."

The county governor said, "Jiang Shan doesn't know as much about this matter as I do, so let me explain it."

"The story begins four thousand years ago. Four thousand years ago, Senior Phoenix passed away here, and his blood soaked the mine, and the first batch of Phoenix Blood Stone appeared. The ancients accidentally discovered the Phoenix Blood Stone and were ecstatic. They set up camp here, and the prototype of Luofeng County was formed."

"About seven hundred years later, the Phoenix Blood Stone became less and less, and it became increasingly difficult to mine. The county governor at the time saw that the situation was not going well. Without the Phoenix Blood Stone, the economic pillar of Luofeng County would disappear, and the entire Luofeng County would collapse."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"So he secretly came to the Phoenix Clan, hoping to buy some Phoenix blood and make a new batch of Phoenix Blood Stone."

"At first the Phoenix Clan disagreed. They were proud and untainted by the dust, and were unwilling to sell their blood to the county governor."

"When the county governor wrote down the income from the sale of Phoenix Blood Stone over the years and promised to share 30% of the profits with the Phoenix Clan, the Phoenix Clan's attitude suddenly changed."

Everyone looked at Jiang Shan, the only member of the Phoenix clan present.

Jiang Shan said confidently: "We have so many people in the Phoenix Clan. Who doesn't need spirit stones for food, clothing, housing and transportation? What's wrong with us earning some money to supplement our family expenses with our own abilities?"

It was the first time that Lu Yang heard selling blood described in such a refreshing and refined way.

Lu Yang remembered what Li Haoran said: "The Phoenix Clan is the most arrogant race among the demon clans. Their blood is extremely precious. It is extremely difficult for humans to obtain their blood."

It's as difficult as climbing to the sky.

The county governor glanced at Jiang Shan and said, "If you Phoenix Clan are so confident, why do you still require the Phoenix Blood Stone to be aged? You must not let outsiders see that it has just been soaked?"

Jiang Shan shifted his gaze guiltily, not daring to look directly at the county magistrate.

"The Phoenix Clan is willing to sell Phoenix Blood, but requires that the matter be kept secret and not be revealed to others. So the county magistrate studied how to quickly make Phoenix Blood Stone look old."

“Like this.”

The county magistrate picked up a piece of Phoenix Blood Stone from the pool of blood and cast a spell. The originally brightly colored Phoenix Blood Stone turned dull in his hand, as if it had passed hundreds or thousands of years.

"Every few years, Luofeng County would get a batch of blood from the Phoenix Clan to soak stones and make Phoenix Blood Stone."

"This has been going on for more than three thousand years. It is a secret between every county governor."

"Later, I don't know what happened, but a piece of Phoenix Blood Stone that hadn't aged was leaked out. After several rounds of circulation, it was bought by the eldest son of the Meng family."

“If an experienced weapon refiner saw that piece of Phoenix Blood Stone, he would be able to guess that the Phoenix Blood Stones produced in Luofeng County were all newly produced, and thus guess the agreement between Luofeng County and the Phoenix Clan.”

"If this matter is exposed, Luofeng County and the Phoenix Clan will not look good, so I have always wanted to reclaim this Phoenix Blood Stone. As for this Mo, he has the same idea as me."

"But now that things have come to this, you all know the truth, so there is no point in recycling it."
