Chapter 79: Windfall…4K words

Xuan Le smiled, extended his hand to signal Qi Yuan to sit down with him, and said: "Junior Brother Qi, don't worry about this. The Six Sects Alliance has already made arrangements. As long as the wandering demon monks show up, there will be corresponding means to destroy them. We are mainly responsible for other things."

"Oh! I wonder what it is?" Qi Yuan looked curious.

Xuan Le was silent for a moment, then his expression relaxed and he said, "That spiritual stone mine has been mined for more than a few decades, and it was peaceful before. I don't know when, there were reports of mysterious disappearances of disciples. At that time, the six sects didn't take it seriously and just let it go. In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed, but the disappearances are still happening frequently, so the alliance decided to investigate the matter thoroughly to see what caused it."

Mining slaves are really not worth worrying about.

Being assigned to mining, the status of a disciple can be said to be very low.

Naturally, the six sects in the past would not care about their lives or deaths. The reason why they investigated the matter thoroughly was probably because someone was playing tricks.

In this precarious time, any unusual incident could easily stir up the nerves of the six factions.

"In that case, then when do we set off? Junior brother, I have already made preparations." Qi Yuan looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and then he agreed.

Xuan Le said calmly: "We will set off in an hour. Please arrive on time, Junior Brother Qi. If you violate the alliance's orders, there will be corresponding punishments."

"I will definitely arrive on time." Qi Yuan's face turned a little ugly when he heard that, showing his displeasure at being coerced.

After Qi Yuan left, the meeting hall fell into silence.

Xuan Le found that there was no one around, and he couldn't help but smile triumphantly. He only needed to use a few cannon fodder to consume the physical strength of the fourth-level monster Blood Jade Spider, and then he would be able to collect the treasures inside without any effort.

Xuan Le had been stationed at a spiritual stone mine for a period of time in his early years. Once, when he heard the mining disciples talking about a missing incident, he secretly paid attention to it.

There must be a special reason behind this unusual thing. It may be that there are demonic monks lurking in the depths of the spirit stone mine to practice secretly, and specifically capture mining disciples to suck their blood for practice.

It is also possible that a mysterious monster is lurking inside, guarding some precious elixir.

Xuan Le explored secretly for half a year and finally found some traces and found the source. However, he didn't expect that there was a blood jade spider inside. With his strength at that time, he could not resist it.

After a fight, he took the opportunity to retreat.

After returning, he kept the secret in his heart and never revealed a word.

At the time when the Kingdom of Yue was at war with the six sects of the Demonic Path, Xuan Le appropriately raised the issue of the spiritual mine and involved it with the Demonic Path.

Thanks to the connections he had made over the years and his own good spiritual roots, the top leaders of the six sects believed in his words and put him in charge of the spirit stone mine issue.

Xuan Le, who holds great power, would naturally not be stupid enough to confront the Blood Jade Spider alone. Moreover, after all these years, the strength of the monster would not remain stagnant.

After some consideration, he decided to find two cannon fodders with sufficient strength to let them fight the Blood Jade Spider first, and then he would finish off the fight and kill the people along the way.

In the end, he was the only one who knew about the matter and the treasure.

perfect!

For a year, Xuan Le had been keeping an eye out for suitable candidates.

Lu Tianmeng, a former disciple of Lingshou Mountain, defected to Yanyue Sect after his sect was destroyed.

Outsiders like him are prone to being excluded and it is easy to control their actions.

Although they are both in the late foundation building stage, Xuan Le is confident that he can deal with Lu Tianmeng.

If there is one candidate left, he cannot be in the late foundation building stage, but his strength must reach the level of the late foundation building stage.

At this time, Xuan Le heard about Qi Yuan's battle record, and he immediately slapped his thigh and exclaimed that Qi Yuan was the perfect candidate in his mind.

Then he rushed straight to Huangfeng Valley to mobilize people.

……

Qi Yuan left the council hall and thought while flying.

Xuanle must know some secrets.

The pride in having a grasp of the overall situation cannot be false.

But I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart to be used as cannon fodder like this all the time.

Next time, let him plot against others.

Qi Yuan first returned to Chen Qiaoqian's cave to greet her, and then turned to Han Yunzhi's cave to taste the girl's rouge.

Speaking of which, he still doesn't have a safe cave, and has been living in the cave of his confidante...

Is it a bit wasteful?
Oh, by the way, he has a bad stomach.

A few days later.

Qi Yuan followed Xuan Le to a bare hill with a huge deep pit between the valleys.

It was visible to the naked eye that there were hundreds of low-level Qi training disciples engaged in mining activities in the deep pit.

A faint light curtain descended from the sky, covering the spirit stone mine. It was obviously guarded by a formation.

Xuan Le looked back and said, "Junior Brother Qi, this is the location of this mission. Let's go down."

"Haha, listen to Senior Brother Xuan." Qi Yuan said with a smile.

The two of them fell into a huge deep pit together, and someone immediately came out to greet them.

A man with a rough face, wearing the Yanyue Sect's uniform, came up first and said, "Senior Brother Xuan, you are finally here. What is your name, Junior Brother?"

Xuan Le smiled slightly and said calmly, "Junior Brother Lu, this is Junior Brother Qi Yuan from the Yellow Maple Valley. He became famous in a battle at the logistics point."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianmeng immediately showed admiration on his face and said, "So it's Junior Brother Qi. Today I finally see you in person. You're so young but you've killed two late-stage foundation-building demon cultivators. Your future is limitless."

Qi Yuan took a quick look at the two of them. Seeing Lv Tianmeng's attitude towards Xuan Le, he was basically sure that the two were in the same group. He sneered in his heart and said, "It is all thanks to Master's credit that we can turn danger into safety. Senior Brother Lu is joking."

Lu Tianmeng laughed heartily. He had naturally heard that Hong Fu had accepted a disciple, and he did not delve into the issue further.

He turned to Xuan Le and asked, "Senior Brother Xuan, shall we go inside and rest first?"

Xuanle said "hmm" and walked in first, as if he was the leader.

Lu Tianmeng trotted over and followed with a smile on his face, without any dissatisfaction.

Since Lu Tianmeng, who is also in the late stage of foundation building, has this attitude, the disciples in other mines will have no complaints.

night.

Qi Yuan stayed in the room, carefully observing the mine map and writing down the area distribution in case of emergency.

At this moment, a sound transmission note flew in...

"Junior Brother Qi, come to the mine entrance quickly."

It was Xuan Le's voice. Could it be that he couldn't wait and wanted to deal with the Blood Jade Spider right away?

Qi Yuan put away the map, and disappeared in the room in a flash.

When Qi Yuan arrived at the entrance of the Lingshi Mine, he saw Xuan Le and Lu Tian Meng already waiting there...

"I'm sorry to have kept you two waiting for so long!"

Xuan Le said indifferently, "It's okay. We just arrived. We summoned Junior Brother Qi to come here because we plan to go deep into the cave to find out what's going on. It would be great if we can find any problems. But if we can't, that's fine. We can just use this as a chance to get familiar with the environment."

"That's what I think too." Lu Tianmeng agreed.

With Lu Tianmeng's cooperation, Qi Yuan couldn't easily refuse, and said softly: "Since Senior Brother Xuan has made up his mind, let's go down to the depths and deal with the problem as soon as possible."

Then the three of them walked into the dark and deep mine tunnel together.

Time passes gradually.

The three of them had no idea how long they had been walking, and in this deep mine tunnel they had long lost track of directions.

There are countless forks in the road, and I don’t know where they lead to?

If you take the wrong path, you will waste time.

This spirit stone mine has been mined for decades, and there are many crisscrossing tunnels underground that even experienced disciples cannot easily identify.

Where does this road end...

At this time, Xuan Le held up the moonstone, frowned and said, "Two junior brothers, we seem to be lost?"

Then a pair of eyes scanned everywhere, as if looking for a way out, but Qi Yuan smelled something different.

Xuan Le is actually looking for some kind of mark.

Qi Yuan estimated that even Xuan Le would not be able to find the location where the blood jade spider was found for a while. This mine has been the same for half a year, so it is normal for many things to change.

Qi Yuan looked a little panicked and said, "What should we do? This is an abandoned area, and there are basically no mining disciples coming in or out."

Xuan Le felt a little disdainful of Qi Yuan's condition.

"Junior Brother Qi, don't be nervous. I have a mole here that can help us find a way out." Lu Tianmeng on the side slapped the black bag on his waist, and then a gray light flashed and fell to the ground.

I saw a gray-haired mouse several inches in size with sharp teeth and mouth, chirping and sticking its head out to sniff around.

Lu Tianmeng chanted the spell and shouted, "Go..."

The mole, with its tiny body, seemed to be encouraged and burrowed into the ground, disappearing in an instant.

When Xuan Le saw this strange thing, his eyes flashed, as if greed was emerging.

This spiritual beast can really save a life at certain critical moments.

Soon it will be his.

Suddenly, Lu Tianmeng said, "My mole went to the right."

Xuan Le immediately said, "Let's catch up quickly."

After saying that, the figure swept to the right.

Lu Tianmeng also set off immediately, as he could not be too far away from the spirit beast.

Qi Yuan slapped his storage bag, and several pangolin puppets jumped out and hid underground, and then he followed calmly.

Although it is an abandoned area, scattered spiritual stones can still be seen everywhere in the mine tunnel.

The flickering white light was very eye-catching in this dark mine.

When he first saw it, Qi Yuan was quite happy and couldn't help but pick it up to check it out. Then his anticipation instantly turned into disappointment.

These scattered spirit stones are waste due to lack of spiritual energy.

The world of immortal cultivation has strict standards for the amount of spiritual energy contained in spirit stones.

Spirit stones that do not meet the standards cannot be circulated outside, and violators will be sanctioned by the local sect.

Once it is publicized, it is easy to be subject to trading restrictions by various factions.

Discarded spirit stones are usually leftovers with little spiritual energy and many impurities, so they cannot be easily absorbed.

Once you practice too hard, impurities will be absorbed, and it will take a lot of effort to force them out.

This phenomenon usually occurs among independent cultivators or low-level cultivators. They cannot afford to buy elixirs, so they can only collect some discarded spirit stones for practice.

Qi Yuan's Chaos Cauldron can force out impurities and then purify the spiritual energy, but the amount of spirit stones he has is more than enough for the time being.

There is no need to waste yin and yang energy on these unimportant things.

Moreover, rashly collecting discarded spirit stones would attract the attention of Xuan Le and Lu Tian Meng, which would be counterproductive.

"Brother Qi, come here quickly, we have found something here."

When Qi Yuan heard Xuan Le's cry, his mind moved slightly. Could it be that he had found the hiding place of the Blood Jade Spider?

After a moment, he came to Xuan Le and the other man.

"Senior Brother Xuan, did you find anything unusual?"

Xuan Le said calmly, "It was Junior Brother Lu's mole that discovered that there was something wrong behind this wall, so the three of us teamed up to blast it open and see what's going on!"

"My mole is on the back of the wall, running around like crazy. There must be something fishy behind it." Lu Tianmeng said with a little doubt on his face.

I guess I'm also guessing the reason.

Qi Yuan took a quick look at them. Xuan Le's attitude was very calm, which meant that there was no Blood Jade Spider behind him, otherwise it would have revealed something.

Lu Tianmeng's expression didn't seem fake, so he could conclude that there was indeed a problem on the back of the wall.

The talisman in Qi Yuan's sleeve flashed slightly, and he said, "Okay, then Senior Brother Xuan, count one, two, three, and we will work together to blast it open with our magic power."

Xuan Le and Lu Tianmeng looked at each other, and then the three of them moved away from each other to avoid hurting each other, with dazzling light condensed in the palm of each of their hands.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

The three of them faced the wall and simultaneously released their magic power.

boom…

There was a sudden earthquake and thick fog and dust covered the mine tunnel.

This is a great opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The three of them were very clear about where they were standing.

But when the dust cleared, nothing special happened.

Qi Yuan said inwardly, how damn patient he is.

Although Lu Tianmeng concealed his dissatisfaction very well, Qi Yuan still caught a hint of his hatred towards Xuan Le.

Lu Tianmeng, who lived under someone else's roof, might have been bullied by Xuan Le.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled inexplicably.

Xuan Le turned his head over, and his smiling expression froze in an instant, and his figure suddenly flashed inside.

Lu Tianmeng was also stunned and quickly followed.

Qi Yuan flew into the gap, his pupils trembled slightly, and his face changed suddenly.

Spirit Stone...

A lot of spirit stones.

It can be described as piled up like a mountain.

The spiritual stones here would probably require hundreds of storage bags to hold them.

"The spiritual stones here may have been hidden by the disciples of the mine. Should we divide them among the three of us?"

Xuan Le had experience in managing Lingshi mines, so he could guess what was going on.

Lu Tianmeng said excitedly: "No problem, I will follow Senior Brother Xuan's instructions."

Xuan Le didn't hear Qi Yuan's response for a long time, so he looked sideways and asked, "What do you think, Junior Brother Qi?"

Lu Tianmeng also turned around, with a gloomy look on his face.

If Qi Yuan dared to say no and was unwilling to be on the same boat...

Qi Yuan stroked his chin, showing an extremely greedy look, and said with a smile: "Two senior brothers, please don't give me less spiritual stones just because I am still a junior brother, okay?"

Xuan Le's eyes shone, sensing that Qi Yuan was ready to take action at any time, and laughed, "Brother Qi, please rest assured. The spiritual stones here will be divided equally among the three of us."

You dare to threaten me, Xuan Le? After I have used you, I will kill you, Qi Yuan.

Although Lu Tianmeng felt a little unhappy, he kept silent in order to steadily reap the hard-earned wealth.

Qi Yuan is a disciple of a Jindan cultivator, he must have a killer weapon, so it is better not to provoke him.

Ever since Lingshou Mountain was destroyed by the six sects, the disciples who switched to other sects have had a hard time, and many of the stubborn ones have disappeared.

Since Lu Tianmeng was able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building, he naturally had some patience and was willing to accept being scolded and insulted.

He will only show his ugly face if his fundamental interests are threatened.

The three of them spent a whole day collecting the mountains of spirit stones, and they all had storage bags full of them.

Having made a fortune, everyone was in a very happy mood.

The communication was less unfamiliar and we felt like old friends who had known each other for many years.

What a happy scene!
