Deep in the mountain mine, a monk with bright eyes and a smile on his face was carefully handling the gravel in front of him.
It was said that he was cleaning the rubble, but in fact he was just dealing with some corners. In front of him was a large piece of spiritual stone embedded in the rock. Judging from its appearance and quality, it reached the level of a medium-grade spiritual stone.
After dealing with the surrounding rubble and confirming that they were all middle-grade spiritual stones, the monk carefully excavated the spiritual stones, and then put a large piece of medium-grade spiritual stones into his storage bag. , there are four or five storage bags hanging at the moment.
After excavating this medium-grade spiritual stone, all that was left nearby were normal rocks. The monk was not in a hurry to do it. Instead, after carefully sensing it, he chose a direction and continued digging.
The spiritual stones in the spiritual veins are not connected together, but are randomly distributed along the path of spiritual energy flowing in the mountain. Small spiritual veins like this are basically distributed with low-grade spiritual stones, and they can be mined at this moment. Reaching the middle-grade spiritual stone means that you have dug into the core area of the spiritual vein.
If you are not lucky, maybe after digging a few pieces of these middle-grade spiritual stones, you may continue digging and find lower-grade spiritual stones, which means that you have dug through the core area of the spiritual veins.
If you are lucky, you may find one or several more precious high-grade spiritual stones.
The specific number of spirit stones you can get depends entirely on luck. The size of the raw spirit stones dug out from the spirit veins is not fixed. The spirit stones circulating in the world of immortality are all cut according to standard sizes.
But before the monk could dig a few more times, his movements stopped, the smile on his face disappeared and turned ugly.
Some subtle screams mixed with shouts came from a distance. You must know that the excavated passages are basically connected together, just like a big pipe. It is possible for a mortal to detect such a movement, let alone perceive it. A more keen immortal cultivator.
"Someone is really here to cause trouble!" Upon noticing the unexpected situation, the foundation builder did not panic too much, but said to himself.
Recently, he has been feeling a little restless, feeling that something might be going on.
This similar feeling had occurred to him before, and he had successfully escaped two life-and-death crises, so whenever he felt uneasy, he was very concerned about it.
He knows that when this feeling occurs, the most correct thing to do is to abandon everything here and escape quickly! But I’m not willing to give in!
He accidentally discovered this spiritual vein in his early years. In order to dig here, he first deceived a group of Qi-training monks and spent several years digging the spiritual veins by himself. The quickest way is to become a miner while the Qi-training monks who pose no threat to the foundation-building monks.
But if we directly ask for absenteeism, who will come? Even if he used coercion, it would take a lot of effort for him to build a foundation and see a group of Qi-training monks, and these Qi-training monks might not be able to do their job well. In the end, he used the method of establishing a sect to fool a group of casual cultivators with little knowledge. , in order to keep these casual cultivators loyal to a certain extent, he also spent several years improving their cultivation level a little before leading them here.
Including the layout of searching for loose cultivators, plus the several years of digging here, and so much effort, when he was about to finally reap the results, how could he be willing to give up just because of an uneasy feeling?
But this feeling saved him more than once, and it was impossible to ignore it completely.
In the end, he thought that this kind of inaccessible place was still under the desert, and the possibility of being discovered by other monks was very small. The reason why he felt uneasy might be that some of the group of casual monks he found had something different. Because of his thoughts, he gathered all the casual cultivators together in the final stage of excavation.
After all, he still has a few confidants, and if there is a problem, it is impossible that everything will go wrong. Even if everything goes wrong, he is not afraid as a foundation-building monk. As long as the mine he created is not destroyed, otherwise it will be delayed. A lot of time, as time goes by, the possibility of changes will increase. .
Listening carefully to the noise coming from him, he concluded that it was not the problem with his Qi Practitioner monks, but the appearance of outside monks. Hearing the noise lasted for a while before disappearing, he knew that it was not the Jindan monks or a group of monks who came.
, somewhat relieved.
As long as he is not a Golden Core cultivator but is also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he has a chance to fight back. After years of wandering in the world of immortality, he is not easy to deal with if he can become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Of course, if he is not the other party's opponent, facing Opponents of the same level have more or less chances to escape.
Soon, he heard the sound of the first layer of rock barriers arranged in the passage being destroyed. It must be that the other party had eliminated all the Qi Practitioners and came over.
"I don't believe it if the Taoist friend happened to meet me at the right time. I don't know how long the Taoist friend has been following Lu. I have been waiting outside this mountain range for more than three years. I don't know what virtue or ability I have that makes the Taoist friend care about me so much!" "
Li Qiao had just destroyed the blocking rock formations and confirmed that there was no danger ahead. When he was moving deeper into the mine, he heard such words coming from the front.
He could guess at the first glance that the other party was trying to test his information. To this, Li Qiao did not give any response, but continued to move forward. In his opinion, as long as he found the other party quickly and killed him.
At this time, Li Qiao was not in the invisible state where the ghost pulse was extinguished, because he had to first release his spiritual consciousness and find the enemy. In the case of releasing his spiritual consciousness, invisibility was of little use.
Soon, in the small mine, the two minds met.
"You are a Foundation Establishment, and I am also a Foundation Establishment. If we fight directly, we will both lose. We both became Foundation Establishment monks with great difficulty. We have not yet determined whether there are high-grade spiritual stones in this spiritual vein. We can talk about it first." After confirming through his spiritual consciousness that the other party was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Lu continued to test.
He wants to know if the other party is building a foundation and if there are other companions. If he feels that the situation is not good for him, he will choose to directly destroy some passages and then find a way to escape. If there is no chance to escape, he will destroy the place first. All spiritual veins.
But the other party didn't give him any response at all. He could only know from his spiritual perception that the other party was approaching quickly, which made it difficult for him to judge.
After walking a certain distance, Li Qiao also knew that the two sides were getting closer and closer under the perception of each other's consciousness, but soon, Li Qiao had to stop because some piled up rocks appeared in front of him again, blocking the way. Stayed on the way out.
He had to admire that the other party still had some thoughts. If it weren't for the accumulation of rocks blocking the road and exposing his whereabouts once he passed, Li Qiao would have killed the foundation-building monks first when the ghost veins were destroyed, instead of letting the other party have any chance. prepared.
"Your Excellency, are you a casual cultivator?" At this moment, the other party's voice came again.
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" While speaking, Li Qiao's flying sword directly attacked the rock blocking the road. The rock was only used as an early warning and was not intended to block the passage. The thin layer even left some gaps to allow spiritual consciousness and air to circulate. After all, the monks inside also wanted to leave normally, so they easily opened a passage.
"It's hard to practice casual cultivation. It's not as good as you and me to work together. The hope of getting closer is greater. For some cultivation resources, it's a pity for you and me, no matter who ends up here." A faint voice came, expressing that fighting has turned into friendship. It seemed that he didn't care at all about the Qi practitioners who had died before.
"Together? Become the deputy sect master of Qingxia Sect?" Li Qiao responded. He remembered the name of the sect called out by the qi training monk before. He would respond. He just wanted to determine the other party's position, and then let Ah Piao Just do it first.
But there is a flaw in letting Ah flutter his hands. Using his emotions as a guide, he must clearly understand the other party's position.
The mine was narrow, and the two people's consciousnesses met in mid-air without giving in. Li Qiao could not accurately judge the other party's position through his consciousness, and sound was also a means of judging the position.
"Fellow Taoist, you are joking, what kind of sect am I?"
Li Qiao wanted to determine the other party's position, but the other party's words were erratic and it was obvious that he was constantly moving. Seeing that Ah Piao had no chance, Li Qiao no longer hesitated, instantly entered the invisible state of Ghost Vein Mie Xing, and headed straight in the direction of the opponent.
"Huh?" Li Qiao's consciousness suddenly disappeared, which instantly aroused the other party's alert. His expression spread to the area where Li Qiao was just now, but nothing was found.
And in black
Li Qiao, who was walking invisibly in secret, felt his heart freeze. As he walked forward, he clearly felt something tiny passing through him. The number was not small. Fortunately, he was in the state where ghost veins were destroyed. , and did not have any obvious impact.
With a thought in his heart, the Spiritual Burning Technique was activated. Soon, a burning light appeared not far away from him. In fact, Li Qiao just needed a little faint light to see what appeared, but at this moment, he was within the spiritual veins. The aura environment was much stronger than the outside world, and a simple spiritual burning technique achieved good results.
If it were other spells, Li Qiao's figure would be exposed when he cast the spell, but a silent spell like Spirit Burning Technique would not.
The light appeared and clearly illuminated the nearby situation. It turned out that there were some small black and terrifying insects floating in the air at some point. These insects clearly had wings, but they were not instigated and could still float in the air. They were obviously monks' The power of divine consciousness helps them stay there quietly.
Obviously, these strange bugs are raised by the other party, just like Li Qiao raised Ah Piao. It is normal for the other party to raise some bugs in the world of immortality. No matter what they are, such things can be raised by monks. Generally it should not be underestimated.
If Li Qiao guessed correctly, these bugs have always been hidden under the opponent's consciousness. If he encounters a more reckless monk and approaches the opponent directly, he may suffer from these bugs.
In this dark environment, if you know that the opponent is a monk who plays with bugs, opening a path with various spells is the most correct choice. However, if you don't know, few monks will do this. After all, there is no target to attack. It is easy to expose oneself without speaking, and it is also easy to give the other party a chance to take the lead.
Li Qiao was actually being reckless, but fortunately, this kind of insect did no harm to him when he was in the state of ghost pulse destruction.
After the light appeared through the Spiritual Burning Technique, the nearby insects first gathered in the light, and then quickly dispersed. It was obvious that the other party had not found any traces, and was afraid that a large number of spiritual insects would gather and be taken away.
There are countless types of bugs in the world of immortality. Li Qiao couldn't recognize what this bug was, let alone what method he could use. However, seeing that it had no effect on him who was in a state where his ghost veins were destroyed, he didn't care about anything else and quickly went there. Walk forward in the mine tunnel, looking for the other party's figure.
But soon, the light of the fire attack spell shone in front of him. With the light of this spell, Li Qiao also saw the hostile monk with a gloomy look.
Seeing his technique being used, Li Qiao understood the other party's intention. He couldn't detect him in his invisible state, so he wanted to bombard the mine above to isolate each other.
"Ah Piao, come on!" Seeing this situation, Li Qiao definitely couldn't wait stupidly, but quickly took action to determine the target. While letting Ah Piao lead the way, he also followed closely behind, ready to use defense. The magic weapon stood in the way of his and Ah Piao's preparations.
However, it was obvious that the other party had not discovered Ah Piao's method of existence. He was passed by Ah Piao with almost no precautions. His physical condition and reaction speed were greatly affected in an instant. Before he could recover, Coming over, a fierce attack flashed in front of him.
At such a distance, the opponent was under the influence of Ah Piao and had no time to respond. Li Qiao cut through the protective spiritual shield with a flying sword and killed him with a single sword.
The protective spiritual shield defense technique is very effective, but it is greatly reduced when faced with close attacks such as flying swords.
Li Qiao didn't really feel relieved until he was sure that there was a trace of coldness on the other party's body. He used his spiritual consciousness to check the surrounding situation and found that after the other party's death, the other party's bugs also died instantly. The body fell on the rock and corroded out. Some traces came out, showing that the toxicity is quite high.
After checking the opponent's storage bag, the harvest was not small. Although there was no spiritual weapon, the total amount of zero and zero totals was quite a lot. Several other storage bags contained a large number of low-grade spiritual stones, as well as a small number of medium-grade spiritual stones. Product Lingshi.
It was obvious that the spiritual veins had not been excavated. Li Qiao was not busy digging. Instead, he checked the place before and after, disposed of all the corpses, and only started to dig after making sure that there were no hidden dangers.
Because they were already close to the core area of the mine, Li Qiao did not dig for long before he harvested a large piece of middle-grade spiritual stone. He was delighted while continuing to dig. Not long after, a piece of obvious and low-grade spiritual stone was revealed.
, middle-grade spiritual stones with different traces of spiritual stones.
Top grade spiritual stone! There actually is!
While feeling pleasantly surprised, he carefully processed the surrounding rock marks, and soon a high-grade spiritual stone the size of a human head was in Li Qiao's hands.
Holding this high-grade spiritual stone in my hand and feeling the spiritual energy in it, the more than two years of waiting, at this moment, feel so worth it!
