"During this journey, we didn't seem to see any elders from the 'Penalty Area' monitoring us... However, we can be sure that they are not monitoring us!"
As soon as he thought about this, Duan Lingtian glanced left and right, then looked ahead, and then said to himself: "They must be hiding in the dark...hidden in a place where we can't find them!"
The elders in the penalty area, even just a Bronze Flame elder, are all beings above the 'Sacred Immortal Realm'.
It is too easy for such a being to hide his figure in front of the disciples of the Four Symbols Altar who are below the late stage of Heavenly Saint Realm!
Because almost all disciples of Sixiangtan who are in the late stage of Tiansheng realm and above can pass the Holy Land assessment, enter the Holy Land, and become 'Holy Land Disciples'.
Therefore, Duan Lingtian can also be sure that the strongest disciples of Sixiangtan serving in the 'Penalty Area' of the first mining area of Sixiangtan should be those in the 'middle stage of Heavenly Saint Realm'.
"There's no one over there!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian found that there was no one near a holy stone mine not far away. His eyes brightened and he walked over.
After approaching the Holy Stone Mine, Duan Lingtian raised his hand and condensed his sword fingers.
call out!
In an instant, a ray of sword light condensed by the 'Holy Power of the Sun' shot out from the sword finger and cut towards the holy stone mine.
However, when the sword went down, Duan Lingtian discovered again:
The holy stone mine he was eyeing only had a small piece on the surface, and it was very thin. As he cut it with his sword, it was completely shattered, without even a single 'first-grade holy stone'.
"Is this okay?"
Duan Lingtian was completely dumbfounded when he saw the fragments of the Holy Stone shattered on the ground in front of him.
He originally thought that he could dig out the 'Holy Stone Mine' that was broken down into ten or eight first-grade Holy Stones from the Holy Stone Mine in front of him, but he did not expect that this was just a small piece of Holy Stone Mine on the surface, strong on the outside but dry on the inside.
pit!
What a trap!
While Duan Lingtian was cursing secretly here, many people who followed him all the way brightened their eyes because they all saw something in Duan Lingtian's behavior.
"He didn't discover such an obvious holy stone deposit?"
"You only need to extend your spiritual consciousness to find that it is just a small seam of holy stone, and there is no 'goods' in it... He can't even use such a simple detection method?"
"New guy! He must be new!"
"It seems that the extra-large basket behind him was obtained by luck... Although I don't know why the appearance of this extra-large basket does not comply with the time rules, but now it is certain that he is just a newcomer!"
"Hmph! Newcomers shouldn't have extra-large baskets!"
…
At the same time, a group of Sixiangtan disciples who followed Duan Lingtian all the way also sent messages to communicate with their companions. In their words, they all felt that Duan Lingtian was not qualified to own an extra-large basket.
For a moment, their eyes also invariably glowed with greed.
call!
Just when several disciples of the Four Symbols Temple were about to take action, a gust of wind seemed to blow by, but one person took action first, and in a flash, he reached Duan Lingtian's side.
When this person started to come over, Duan Lingtian discovered it.
When the other party approached, he took a few steps back leisurely, looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him calmly, and asked lightly: "Is something wrong?"
The middle-aged man standing in front of Duan Lingtian was tall and muscular, standing there like an iron tower.
Although Duan Lingtian is more than 1.8 meters tall, he still looks weak in front of the two-meter-tall middle-aged man, purely visually.
"Are you new here?"
The middle-aged man asked, his voice like a loud bell, causing the eardrums of many people with weak cultivation skills to vibrate.
As the middle-aged man spoke, more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement.
Even some Sixiangtan disciples who were mining the holy stone mine stopped what they were doing and came over to watch the fun.
Any Sixiangtan disciple who was deported to serve in the "Penalty Area" of the First Mining Area would naturally feel bored if he stayed in the Penalty Area for a long time.
Therefore, once someone starts fighting, they will all come forward to watch with great interest.
This is also one of the few ways of entertainment they have in the penalty area, and they can get visual and sensory enjoyment without paying anything.
"what happened?"
"Isn't this 'Niukong'? Someone provoked Niukong?"
"Huh? The young man confronting Niukong is actually carrying an extra-large basket on his back... It seems that I have never seen him before!"
"Could it be that he is new? No! Even if he is new, he cannot have an extra-large basket. The time is not right... So, the extra-large basket behind him was snatched from someone else?"
"Have the strength to seize the extra large basket from one of the eighty-nine people... His strength is beyond Niu Kong's! What is Niu Kong doing? Looking for abuse?"
…
A group of unsuspecting onlookers gathered around, whispering among themselves.
However, soon, they learned the ins and outs of the matter from some informed disciples of the Four Symbol Temple.
"You can't even use your spiritual sense to detect the holy stone deposits? You chose a fingernail-thick holy stone deposit to mine?"
"Generally speaking, it seems that only newcomers make such mistakes, right?"
"Is he new?"
"If he is a newcomer, then the extra-large basket behind him must have been for nothing... However, the time does not seem to match. According to the past time rules, the extra-large basket should not appear at this time."
"Don't worry about the time... It can be seen from his behavior that he is indeed a newcomer! No wonder Niu Kong rushed up. It turned out that he wanted to hit the extra-large basket behind the newcomer."
"When meeting Niu Kong, this newcomer will also be in bad luck... Niu Kong's cultivation is said to have reached the 'peak of the earth holy realm' some time ago!"
…
A group of disciples from the Four Symbols Forum were talking a lot, feeling that Duan Lingtian was about to be in trouble, and that he couldn't even save the extra-large basket he was carrying on his back.
"The pinnacle of the Earthly Saint Realm?"
Duan Lingtian almost burst into laughter when he heard the buzz around him, especially when he heard that the tall middle-aged man in front of him had a cultivation level of only the 'Peak Earth Saint Realm'.
A disciple of the Four Symbols Altar at the pinnacle of the Earthly Saint Realm actually wanted to steal his things?
Do you really think that Duan Lingtian is a piece of paper?
However, at the same time, Duan Lingtian was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone actually wanted to snatch the basket he was carrying on his back.
As for that?
Isn't it just a broken basket?
Until now, Duan Lingtian still doesn't know how rare and precious the extra-large basket behind him is in this penalty area...
He only thought that everyone chose a big basket or a small basket by themselves, and did not think that not everyone had a big basket.
Of course, Duan Lingtian's idea did not last long.
As the surrounding discussions intensified, Duan Lingtian also learned one thing from the mouths of a group of Sixiangtan disciples around him:
It turned out that before he came to the 'punishment area' of the first mining area of Sixiangtan, there were only eighty-nine extra-large baskets like the baskets on his back.
The eighty-nine extra-large baskets, without exception, are all in the hands of disciples of the Four Symbols Altar who are at the peak of the Earthly Saint Realm and above the Heavenly Saint Realm.
In addition, although newcomers who come to the penalty area can get extra-large baskets, there are time rules. This depends entirely on luck.
Calculating the time it took for the above newcomer to get the extra-large basket, according to the rules of time, it stands to reason that the next extra-large basket will not be his turn to get Duan Lingtian.
"That Elder Bronze Flame of Suzaku Altar, used his influence to get me this extra large basket?"
At this time, Duan Lingtian also realized this and couldn't help but smile to himself.
Does the Bronze Flame Elder of Suzaku Altar look down on him so much?
Do you think he can't rely on his own strength to win the extra-large basket?
However, even though he was complaining in his heart, he still accepted the favor from the elder of the Bronze Flame of the Suzaku Altar. If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely return the favor.
"Are you deaf? I'm asking you something...are you new here?"
Following a loud shout that sounded like thunder, Duan Lingtian finally came to his senses. After he came to his senses, he found Niu Kong in front of him looking at him with an unkind expression.
"Am I new here, so what?"
Duan Lingtian spoke calmly and asked.
Not to mention that Niukong is only a being at the peak of the Earthly Saint Realm. Even if Niukong is a being at the peak of the Heavenly Saintly Realm, he is not qualified to make Duan Lingtian give in!
"Okay, okay...very good! Boy, you are very courageous...Originally, I was thinking that as long as you obediently hand over the extra-large basket you are carrying, I can move you."
Niukong's eyes turned completely cold when he looked at Duan Lingtian, "Now, I have changed my mind... Regardless of whether you are willing to hand over the extra-large basket obediently or not, I, Niukong, will teach you a lesson!"
"So that you know that in this first mining area's 'punishment area'... newcomers must respect the 'old people'!"
Niukong's words were full of anger.
As soon as he finished speaking, another vast and majestic aura came out of his body, but it was the aura emanating from the holy power of the sun that he had mobilized.
"Niu Kong is angry!"
"This newcomer is really tough... How dare he make Niu Kong angry! It seems that he is going to be in trouble."
"Niu Kong has a bad temper. If he angers Niu Kong like this, things may not end well."
"I just hope Niu Kong will be gentle, otherwise this newcomer may have to lie in bed for a while."
…
The group of Sixiangtan disciples who were watching were talking about each other and at the same time, they all looked at Duan Lingtian with pity.
"Ushikora, right?"
In front of everyone, facing the furious Niu Kong, Duan Lingtian took a step forward and glanced at Niukong coldly, "I'll give you a chance... get out of my sight within three breaths!"
"Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk!"
Although Duan Lingtian's voice was not loud, it still overwhelmed the gradually quieter discussion at the scene and was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
Suddenly, the whole place fell silent.
