As night falls, Kuiyunling is illuminated by a dome light screen, still as bright as day.
Everyone sat around the formation to rest for a while, and then, under the leadership of a visiting Holy Talisman Sect disciple, they used a square token-like thing to directly break through the light curtain protecting the mountain and bring everyone inside.
Bin Chao ordered his senior brother Qiu to escort the man in black and follow a disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect away, while the rest were arranged to rest in a camp in a mountainous forest area.
As soon as the people from the two sects settled down, Liu Qingyi summoned a few people from the Tianshou sect to leave briefly and hid in a mountain col behind the forest, chattering away.
"Everyone has a share this time!" Liu Qingyi smiled faintly, looked around at the people sitting in a group, picked up the spiritual ring in his hand, shook out a large pile of spiritual essence stones, and began to count and draw them into several piles. .
After apportioning the 18,000 Spiritual Essence Stones that were compensated by the men in colorful clothes, each person could get more than 2,500 Spiritual Essence Stones.
Several people looked at the large pile of Spiritual Essence Stones pulled in front of them, feeling happy and surprised at the same time, and even looked at Liu Qingyi with a little bit of emotion in their eyes.
When Yan Kuan and Li Deqiang got the Spiritual Essence Stone, they were even more happy. They called each other their junior fellow apprentices very affectionately, and when they thanked them continuously, their joy was beyond words.
But when it was assigned to Li Gongjun, Liu Qingyi hesitated a little, not wanting to give it to him, but after some consideration, she finally gave it to him. He didn't know what the sect's purpose was in not revealing Li Gongjun's true identity, and at this moment he didn't want to cause trouble and make him suspicious of these Xu Lingyuan stone disciples.
Let's talk about Li Deqiang taking the Ling Yuan Stone. He was happy for a while, and then he sighed. In his words, he still felt that he had suffered a big loss by replacing the middle grade Ling Bao with the Ling Yuan Stone.
Yan Kuan couldn't help but scolded: "You idiot, what kind of dream did you have? You thought that if you took someone else's spiritual treasure, you could take it for yourself. If you really only took that stick back, you would be stupid!" After you return to the ridge to report to the master of the sect, you will come to your door and accuse you of causing internal strife and robbing the spiritual treasures of your colleagues in the Immortal Kingdom in front of the senior officials of the Immortal Kingdom. You still won't return it? You don't want to think about it. Lingbao, are you willing to take it away?"
Liu Qingyi nodded and said: "That's exactly the reason." Then his eyes flickered and he whispered to everyone: "Of course it's not possible to steal openly, but it is still possible to steal secretly. Maybe there will be a chance in the future, hey..."
When he said this, he didn't say anything else. When everyone heard this, they all understood and nodded tacitly. Li Deqiang looked around furtively, fearing that such confidential plans would be overheard by the ears across the wall.
Liu Qingyi saw Li Deqiang's behavior and felt funny in his heart. He turned to look at Li Gongjun and saw that after he received the Ling Yuan Stone, he didn't have much excitement on his face. He also understood in his heart that as a member of the Baihua Immortal Valley Sect, As for the hidden child, some spirit essence stones would naturally not be able to get into his eyes.
Xiao Jingyan on the side put away the Ling Yuan Stone, nodded to Liu Qingyi, thanked him twice and stood up and walked out of the col.
Wang Tianshui was a little at a loss, but more of a surprise. After thanking him happily, he looked at Liu Qingyi with slightly complicated eyes.
Speaking of which, when Wang Tianshui was in the spiritual forging stage, he was Liu Qingyi's opponent in the sect competition. He was defeated by him and took the stone platform. To say that he didn't have any resentment in his heart was that Impossible. When they later took over a mission and went to Nanyao to kill the corpses together, the two of them had many quarrels.
Now that he was far away from the sect and came to the battlefield in the north, he was the person with the lowest cultivation level among all the people who came with him, but Liu Qingyi was able to ignore the past grudges and still give him more than two thousand spiritual essence stones. This friendship between the sects could not help but make him Deeply moved.
When Bu Jiu saw that everyone had put away the spiritual essence stones they had been given, he waved his hands to let everyone disperse. He sat down next to Liu Qingyi and looked at the vast night sky outside the dome of the formation. He sat in silence for a long time without saying a word, then took a long breath and said, "Yunzheng, things are going on here. I want to go back to my hometown for a visit."
Liu Qingyi's thoughts had already drifted far away at this moment. When he first heard Bu Jiu's voice, he remembered what he said and nodded: "It's time to go back and take a look." His thoughts were also distracted. After being brought to Humiao Village, I thought about my parents in my previous life, and my eyes gradually became moist.
By the time Liu and Bu returned to the mountainous area of Panying, Senior Brother Qiu from the Tianji Sect had already returned. Capturing the man in black alive this time was a miraculous feat for these Tongyuan Realm monks. The senior officials of the Immortal Kingdom were very happy and awarded many rewards, which were brought back by senior brother Qiu.
They are both Spiritual Essence Stones, but this is the joint contribution of Tianji Sect and Tianshou Sect, and they need to be shared jointly. This time, the senior officials of the Immortal Kingdom were very generous. There were more than ten people from the two sects, and each person received more than a thousand spiritual essence stones. 33
For the people of the Tianshou Sect, this was really a good thing coming one after another, and they were filled with joy for a while, which was in great contrast with other returning sects around them.
Liu Qingyi looked around and saw that among the sect teams camped out in the mountains and forests, there were some who were in high spirits, some who were crying and crying, and most of them were injured, and they didn't know whether they were sad or happy.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad, and a few people from the Tianshou Sect are naturally happy. A group of people from the Tianji Sect received the Spiritual Essence Stone reward. Although they were briefly happy for a while, due to the death of two of their disciples, the remaining ones were... People are hurt, affected by the surrounding circumstances, and gradually become depressed.
This night, it was almost a sleepless night in this mountain forest.
Not only because of the dazzling white light radiating from the dome of the formation, but also because of the suppressed emotions in the hearts of the various disciples after their separation.
It is said that immortality is ruthless, but at this moment, people are like grass and trees. The feelings of the same family that have been together all day long are not as clear as the breeze passing through the water.
For several days, Liu Qingyi and others were resting in the mountains and forests. Perhaps the defense of the formation caused heavy losses to the Tongyuan realm monks, and no new missions were assigned during this period.
Liu Qingyi was also happy and relaxed, practicing the Xutian Kung day and night, while stabilizing the seventh level of Tongyuan Realm, while trying to continue to refine the cold marrow ice heart in order to break through to the eighth level of Tongyuan Realm.
During this time, Liu Qingyi also saw that most of the Tongyuan realm disciples of the major sects who were camping here, along with the later monks in the sect, had died. Most of the surviving disciples were in low spirits, and some female disciples with weak wills, even I shed tears all day long, crying until my eyes were red and swollen, like two big walnuts.
However, Chu Xiaoxian, who was originally weak and sensitive, gradually adapted to such a cruel environment and was not as hurt as ordinary female disciples. Not only did she use magic to help Binchao heal the injury on her broken arm every day, but she also kept going to various major universities. People in the sect use wood healing techniques to relieve the pain, warm and heal the injured monks, and they no longer seem to be afraid of the bloody scenes of severed hands and feet. Over time, this girl became a popular figure among all the major immortal sects, and also made the two disciples of the same team look up to her with admiration.
Among the people from the Tianshou Sect, except for Bu Jiu and Liu Qingyi, who were cultivating alone, Li Gongjun disappeared from time to time. Liu Qingyi saw this and knew that he was most likely to meet someone from the Baihua Fairy Valley. , after several times of tracking the little civet, I found that it was just looking at it from a distance, and did not have much contact with the people in the Immortal Valley. Instead, it made the Split Wind Fox keep running back and forth between the major immortal sects. Don't know what it is doing.
Liu Qingyi searched for a long time to no avail, so she simply let it go. When he thought about it, no matter what news or information Li Gongjun wanted to report to Baihua Fairy Valley, since the sect was letting it go, why should he care about it? What's more, they both belong to the Immortal Kingdom camp, so coming to the Baihua Immortal Valley won't cause any harm.
The only thing that surprised Liu Qingyi was that Xiao Jingyan often disappeared, leaving the team alone and running off to who knows where.
After Liu Qingyi secretly followed him, he discovered that the man had climbed through the forest several times and arrived at another camp several miles away. Sects gathered in this camp, but most of them were sects from the Western Region. It took little effort for Xiao Jingyan to find the location of the Yanyue Sect's headquarters, and he lingered nearby, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Xiao Jingyan said goodbye to the oasis in the middle of the lake in Lianhua Ao last time, and he could not forget Cui Lingxiang, a female monk from the Biyue Sect. It's just that this one-sided emotion didn't attract Cui Lingxiang's attention at all. He came here endlessly all day long and worked up the courage several times. However, because he was afraid that Cui Lingxiang didn't like him, he didn't dare to break through this layer in person. He only sneaked a few glances from a distance, and then That is to say, I feel extremely satisfied and happy.
Such thoughts were secretly noticed by Liu Qingyi, and while he smiled knowingly, he felt a little empty in his heart. In the dead of night, he often muttered alone: "Little sweet potato, my little sweet potato, it's been a long time since I came here, I miss you brother." No? Well, I’ve been away for so many days, so don’t let Liu Yanhua, the man who suffered a thousand knives, steal the goods again."
On the third day, a trading ground was opened up in the eastern part of the mountain forest in Kuiyunling. It consisted of dozens of large and small tables temporarily built with stone and wood.
The disciples of each major sect brought some of the spiritual treasures and materials they captured here, and either exchanged them for items or sold them into spiritual essence stones, thereby maximizing their profits. Among them, the sellers are mostly monks in the late Tongyuan realm, and the buyers are mostly monks in the middle and early Tongyuan realm. The trading place is crowded with people every day.
Li Deqiang and Wang Tianshui naturally became regular guests here. Not only were they regular guests, they were also wealthy high-rollers. After receiving a series of rewards, he followed Liu Qingyi to mix a large amount of spiritual essence stones. Naturally, he thought of buying something temporarily to increase his strength.
The two of them had not passed the sect's Stone Pool Trial, and were unable to practice the Golden Sun Armor Technique like Liu Qingyi, Bu Jiu and others. They were extremely lacking in defensive means, so they focused more on defensive spiritual treasures. above.
Wang Tianshui lived within his means, and after careful selection, he bought a dusty earth-type spiritual shield and spent most of the more than 10,000 spiritual essence stones he had worked so hard to save.
Because Li Deqiang picked up the defensive spiritual treasure of a man in black last time, he spent a lot of spiritual essence stones to find a Western Region weapon refining monk to repair it briefly. Then he bought a defensive spiritual treasure called the 'Chongyuan Xuan Umbrella'. The defensive ability of this treasure is really not bad, and it requires the use of two elements of elemental power to achieve the maximum effect. It is quite suitable for Li Deqiang, who currently possesses two elements of earth and fire elemental powers.
The two of them had these two expensive defensive spiritual treasures, and while they were refining them intensively, their respective feelings of self-satisfaction were palpable.
As for Senior Brother Yan of Miaoyuan Peak, he followed a group of people running around all day long, gathering together mysteriously in one place all day long, not knowing what he was doing.
Some people died, but not completely...
