The next morning, Shi Jiu sat on the top floor of the restaurant, drinking tea and admiring the scenery of Tianyou City.
Since I gained a lot last night, I am in a particularly good mood today.
After a while, the waiter came to the table with abundant fruits, and then arranged them neatly one by one.
"Sir, everything you asked for is here. Please use it slowly." After saying that, the waiter was about to go downstairs.
At this time, Shi Jiu asked casually: "Xiao Er, did many people really die in Jianhun Cave yesterday?"
"It's true, sir." The waiter stopped and answered truthfully. Since Shi Jiu had given him a lot of tips before, the waiter in the shop also knew everything.
"Sir, it's a good thing you didn't go that day. I heard from the shopkeeper this morning that not many miners came back alive, and most of them died in the caves." The waiter said while shaking his head, "It means that all the sects have lost their troops. Many people died too.”
"Oh? Didn't Antian Pavilion and Cangtian Sword Sect protect everyone? Didn't they say before that they would be responsible for guarding and maintaining public order?"
"Haha, do you believe what I said?" the waiter asked back, and then said in a low voice: "I heard from the shopkeeper that as soon as the Yin soldiers appeared yesterday, the people from Antian Pavilion and Cangtian Sword Sect immediately fled the stream. Soul Cave is faster than others, so their losses are the smallest among all sects. Later, they intercepted everyone who escaped from the cave, interrogated and looted their belongings."
"So that's it."
"But those two sects didn't get much benefit, especially the Cangtian Sword Sect." The waiter thought to himself.
"Oh? Why is this?" The waiter's words made Shi Jiu a little confused.
"According to a miner who came back alive, people from the Cangtian Sword Sect dug up crystal veins in the cave, but before they had time to be happy, Yin soldiers appeared, and then they ran out."
"What did you say? The Cangtian Sword Sect dug up the Jingyuan mineral vein?" Shi Jiu was a little surprised.
"Yes, it's just that they were kicked out by the Yin soldiers before they could take them away. Otherwise, they wouldn't have intercepted and interrogated everyone who escaped from the cave as soon as they came out." The waiter in the shop was also a little angry, obviously against the Cangtian Sword Sect. Some dissatisfaction with the approach.
"I heard that people from those two factions are still stationed outside Jianhun Cave to prevent anyone from coming out of the cave."
Just when the waiter wanted to continue talking, the shopkeeper's voice came from downstairs, interrupting the waiter.
"I'm sorry, sir, the shopkeeper called me."
"Well, you go down. I'll call you if anything happens." After Shi Jiu said that, the waiter hurried downstairs.
"I didn't expect that the Cangtian Sword Sect actually dug up the Jingyuan mineral vein." Shi Jiu lamented that the other party had bad luck, but the Cangtian Sword Sect enjoyed the five blessings, which gave Shi Jiu an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"It seems that I have to go back to Jianhun Cave again." In line with the principle of taking good things when they are available, Shi Jiu decided to go back to Jianhun Cave and dig out the Jingyuan mineral veins, leaving nothing for Cangtian Sword Sect and Antian Pavilion. Not even a cent.
Shi Jiu has had issues with these two sects before. In the Hengduan Forest, Shi Jiu was knocked off the cliff by the disciples of Antian Pavilion. Also in the Hengduan Forest, Shi Jiu was attacked by Shen Chuxiong of the Cangtian Sword Sect and was attracted by the blue crystal beast. The other party's eyes were on him. Now that he had the opportunity to retaliate against the other party and take advantage of himself, Shi Jiu certainly couldn't miss it.
After lunch, Shi Jiu rode out of the city and then galloped towards the Jianhun Cave.
In the evening, Shi Jiu came to the boundary of Splashing Soul Cave.
Shi Jiu did not go directly to the water pool in the back mountain. Instead, he secretly went to the woods next to Splashing Soul Cave, and then observed the movement in front of him.
Sure enough, there were obviously many more people guarding the cave today than yesterday, especially the Cangtian Sword Sect and Antian Pavilion, which occupied almost half of the territory. The flags erected on the site were all from the two factions.
Among them, Shi Jiu also saw "old acquaintances" Shen Chuxiong, He Yue and others from the Cangtian Sword Sect.
Although there were many people, no one dared to enter the cave, they all just stayed outside.
At this time, Shi Jiu also saw that there was a continuous red demonic wind blowing out of the Splashing Soul Cave, so that there was no one within a few meters in front of the cave entrance, and all the factions were standing ten meters away.
As the sky gradually darkened, each faction lit torches, and at the same time, complaints were heard outside the crowd.
"I really don't know how long I'm going to stay here."
"Yes, looking at the situation, the evil wind in the cave should not be able to stop. I don't know what those big shots think, but they have to stay here!"
"The evil wind is not stopping in the cave, and there are a lot of evil soldiers. I guess those who didn't come out in time must be dead, so we are waiting here in vain!"
"Hmph! Is there any use in complaining? Didn't you see that the big guys in front are waiting there quietly, staring at the hole in front?"
"Say a few words less, don't let the big shots hear, otherwise you and I won't be able to live without you!"
"Okay, compared to those two sects, we are better. Didn't you see that those people from the Cangtian Sword Sect all have stern faces and don't treat anyone well?"
"Yes, if I were to drive them crazy, they would obviously dig up the Jingyuan mineral vein but not be able to bring it out, so they could only stare anxiously! But seeing them deflated makes me happy. They are usually too arrogant and domineering. I see this This is God’s punishment for them!”
"Who says it isn't?"
…
"The Cangtian Sword Sect has indeed dug up a crystal mineral vein." Hearing the comments from the crowd in front, Shi Jiu was convinced that there really was a crystal mineral vein in Splashing Soul Cave.
Although Shi Jiu had heard from the waiter in the store that a crystal vein vein had been dug in the Splashing Soul Cave before, Shi Jiu did not completely believe it. Now that he heard the discussions from people from various factions, it was true.
"In that case, the Jingyuan mineral vein is mine." Shi Jiu made up his mind to enter the Splashing Soul Cave again and dig out all the mineral veins inside.
Since it was getting late, Shi Jiu decided to go into the cave early tomorrow morning, and then quietly left here and went to the pool in the back mountain, where he planned to spend the night tonight.
After arriving at the back mountain, there was no one here. Apparently none of the factions knew that there was another way to enter the cave.
Worried that it might cause unnecessary trouble, Shi Jiu did not light a fire, but climbed up a big tree and rested on it.
The next day, at dawn, Shi Jiu arranged everything, changed into a pair of swimming clothes, then slowly walked down to the pool, then took a deep breath and plunged into the water.
Because he swam once yesterday, this time it was relatively smooth. Shi Jiu swam quickly into the cave against the direction of the undercurrent.
Ten minutes later, Shi Jiu successfully swam to the pool on one side of the cave.
This was the place he had been to yesterday. Seeing that the surrounding environment had not changed much from yesterday, Shi Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, then changed into night clothes and walked forward along the underground river.
Shi Jiu held the torch and observed the situation along the way. This time he did not encounter any danger again. When passing by the armored corpse, Shi Jiu stopped for half an hour.
Within this half hour, Shi Jiu buried the armored corpse. Although the other party wanted to kill him yesterday, Shi Jiu also benefited from it, so Shi Jiu buried the other party, which was considered a kind of reward.
After that, Shi Jiu didn't waste any more time and quickly came to the place where he fell.
After briefly observing the surrounding environment, Shi Jiu threw the lock hook upwards, and then climbed up along the hook lock rope.
The higher up, the stronger the evil wind becomes, and the thicker the red aura of ferocity becomes. As Shi Jiu climbs up, he gradually adapts to the aura of ferocity in the air.
After climbing to the top, Shi Jiu did not climb up immediately. After confirming that there was no danger, he carefully jumped to the ground and then quickly walked to the stone wall on one side.
Since the Jingyuan mineral vein was dug by people from the Cangtian Sword Sect, the mineral vein must be in the area of the Cangtian Sword Sect.
When he first entered the cave, Shi Jiu had passed by the area of the Cangtian Sword Sect, so it was not difficult to find that place. The most important difficulty was the Yin soldiers. Only by not alerting the Yin soldiers could he get there. .
Shi Jiu began to walk forward slowly. Whenever he saw the Yin soldiers, he would stop breathing. When the Yin soldiers were far away, he would move forward quickly.
"This method works really well!" This is a method Shi Jiu saw in a movie in his previous life, and now it is used here, and it is indeed effective.
Not long after, Shi Jiu came to the area of the Cangtian Sword Sect. After some searching, he quickly found the Jingyuan mineral vein.
