Liu Qingyi weighed the handful of Spiritual Essence Stones that had just been separated in his hand. In such a dark environment underground, it still continued to emit beams of bright white light, which looked really dazzling.
Seeing that he had worked so hard to dig out dozens of crystal mines of different sizes, but only produced such a small handful of Spiritual Essence Stones, he couldn't help but feel greatly, thinking about how every time he used the Great Daphne Sword Sutra He had consumed thousands of Spiritual Essence Stones without even counting them carefully. It was really an extravagance.
During this operation, Xiao Jingyan and Bu Jiu were collecting extremely quickly. After peeling off the ore crystals on the cave wall in front of them, they were the first to dig deeper into the fork.
Li Deqiang, Wang Tianshui, and Li Gongjun were collecting at a leisurely pace. The other three monks from the outer sect were busy and their collecting efficiency was only so-so.
Only Yan Kuan kept his head drooped, looking listless, and he seemed to be the least efficient collector among them all. In the time it took others to collect two or three pieces, he could only collect one and a half pieces at most.
This tedious action naturally caused the disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect who was supervising the work to keep urging him to hurry up.
Yan Kuan was upset, he was really pushed to the point, and he choked on his words: "Why don't you come and pick it too? Wouldn't that be faster!? Anyway, this Ling Yuan Stone also belongs to your Holy Talisman Sect, and we can't get it. Half a piece. Humph, I was originally here to help you fight against the Moon Worshiping Immortal Kingdom, but now I’m here to do hard work for you.”
The Holy Talisman Sect monk was choked by Yan Kuan, and a strange smile appeared on Yan Kuan's face: "Fight against the Moon Worshiping Immortal Kingdom? Just you?! You are only a fourth-level character in the Tongyuan Realm. You are here to do some handyman work, and it is not your role to fight against the Moon Worshiping Immortal Kingdom, otherwise the elders in the sect would not have sent you to the handyman team."
This person's words touched upon Yan Kuan's level of cultivation, and Yan Kuan, who had been stuck at the peak of the fourth level of Tongyuan Realm and had been unable to break through, instantly lost his temper. He just dropped his head again and turned around. Talking again, the movements of the hands seem to be a little faster, but the actual efficiency has not increased much.
Seeing him pretending to be an archer like this, the disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect had no choice but to curse a few times in his mind and walked away.
Speaking of which, although this disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect is the leader of this handyman team, his actual cultivation level is only at the third level of the Yuan Realm. Although the Holy Talisman Sect is nominally the first sect in the country and can control all the major immortal sects in the four realms, when they go down to an environment like the underground and encounter those monks from outside sects who are higher than themselves and disobedient, these Saints Fu Zong disciples could only say helpless.
Everyone worked like this for a long time, and finally collected the several cave halls connected by this fork in the road one by one.
The disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect let everyone rest for a while, then led them out of the corner branch and walked deeper into the mine tunnel.
After walking in this way, I felt that as I went deeper into the ground, the light in front became brighter and brighter, and the mine tunnel, which was not spacious at first, gradually became much wider.
The white crystals visible to the naked eye on the mine wall are densely arranged, and they converge into a thicker and thicker crystal pillar, extending straight into the depths of the ground, occupying a lot of space in the mine tunnel.
Moving forward, everyone felt a sudden enlightenment. As soon as they could see, a huge cave hall with a diameter of about tens of feet appeared in front of everyone.
In the cave hall, a huge crystal pillar with no upper end and no bottom runs through the ground. There are countless smaller linear pillars on it, which are divided into countless layers up, down, left, and right, and the layers extend into each mine tunnel. .
Everyone who comes here through the mine tunnel cannot get a glimpse of the huge crystal column, and they can't even figure out its true color.
This spar pillar with a radius of several feet looks white from a distance, but when you look closer, yellow light overflows. If you use your Yuan Power to pry some of it open, purple-red light spots will appear faintly inside.
All the cave walls and columns in the cave hall are covered with silver-white crystals, which wind upwards to form a white dome. The continuous crystal mines are constantly shining and reflecting the space, just like the most gorgeous night sky, with lights in the sky. Moving meteors like a waterfall.
Seeing such a strange and dreamy scene, Liu Qingyi and other disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect stretched their necks and opened their mouths wide, unable to speak a word.
The leading Holy Talisman Sect disciple had a self-confident smile on his face, thinking that the reaction of these people was no different from other people who came here. They were all deeply shocked at the first moment and temporarily lost the ability to speak.
After a while, everyone began to fly upwards in circles along the giant crystal pillars. After flying a few feet, they saw a group of people coming out of another mine tunnel. Li Deqiang's eyes narrowed and he greeted loudly: "Brother Ze Dao, Ze Fairy. , it turns out that you have also come to the underground."
As he spoke, he kept waving his hands, fearing that the Ze brothers and sisters on the other side wouldn't see him.
A few people from the Bone Pattern Sect's team looked over after hearing the sound. They only had time to say hello a few times before they followed a Holy Talisman Sect disciple to fly elsewhere.
As everyone went up, they saw a lot of people gathered around the crystal pillar. From time to time, they flew close to the pillar wall to collect spiritual stones, as if they were attracting a dense group of locusts.
During this period, he also met many acquaintances from the southern border. Li Deqiang flew to the side of the team and kept looking around, occasionally saying hello to others.
Bu Jiu was speechless for a moment when he saw this, and complained: "Yun Yu, are you here to receive guests?"
"Well, it's always good to have more acquaintances! Huh? Look over there, there are people from Tongtian Sect and Baihua Fairy Valley. It's much more lively here than the previous place." Li Deqiang said with a smile on his face.
"The excitement is useless!" Yan Kuan muttered, glanced at the disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect who was leading the way, shook the spirit lock bag in his hand, and made a series of clear and crisp sounds, "They are all here to do hard work. In the end It’s not like losing a cent.”
Liu Qingyi smiled softly and said in an inexplicable voice: "What else?"
Yan Kuan looked around, took a few steps closer, and said in a low voice: "I think there are mostly monks from other sects underground, and there are only a few people from the Holy Talisman Sect. Why don't these cowards dare to rob his mother together? "
Liu Qingyi laughed loudly after hearing this, which made everyone around him look over. He lowered his head and whispered to Yan Kuan: "I remember that this seems to be the northern border, and it is the territory of the Holy Talisman Sect. It seems a bit uncomfortable to rob them. appropriate."
"It's really..." Yan Kuan frowned, thought for a moment, and finally sighed dejectedly.
This time, a team of handymen gathered at the root of the mine. There were layers of figures in the huge cave hall, densely attached to the crystal cylinder. Large pieces of ore bodies were constantly being peeled off, and then subdivided into regular pieces. The Spiritual Essence Stone was put into the storage bags carried by everyone. This kind of collection efficiency requires almost no movement of position, which is naturally much higher than the collection efficiency in the branch road just now. 33
Liu Qingyi and others followed the Holy Talisman Sect disciple to a gap in the crystal pillar and began to collect the Spiritual Essence Stone.
Along the way, he looked carefully and found that almost all the monks from the Tongyuan Realm in the North and South Realms had joined the handyman team. Even Huo Gang, Xiao Wanling, Bai Xiaoxiao and others from Lan County were not in the same place. When I came to the cave hall, I couldn't help but secretly thought: "Everyone is here. It seems that the ore roots must be mined first. I think that the long-flowing method of mining from the peripheral scattered ores is not possible in today's situation." Under such circumstances, it has been abandoned by the senior officials of the Immortal Kingdom."
…
At the same time, in a relatively complete shed kiln on the Hengduan Mountain, a group of high-level monks gathered together.
The three people at the top are sitting side by side. The one on the left is Luo Yuhan, the hunting envoy of the southern border. The one in the middle is Liu Yeling, the hunting envoy of the northern border. On the right is the hall master surnamed Su of Sanyang realm.
Wu Jingjing, the fat monk from the Holy Talisman Sect, was sitting on a wooden chair next to him. Although he was still a little sluggish, his face looked much better than yesterday.
Liu Yeling looked around and said in a deep voice: "My two realm monks worked hard and finally captured the Beiyuanpo mineral vein this time. The plan for now is to dig up the mineral roots as soon as possible, and then gradually expand to the surrounding scattered mines."
A northern monk nodded and said, "Envoy Liu can see it clearly. In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, this is the right thing to do!"
Luo Yuhan also echoed: "It is true that we should rush to extract the core mineral roots. This time we took Beiyuan Slope, we monks from both realms suffered a lot of casualties, and we really can't stand the torment anymore. Collect this mine as soon as possible, and once we get there, This can prevent the Moon Worshipers from coming to seize it again, and secondly, it can free up our hands to concentrate on capturing Ni Huangzhuang."
The hall master surnamed Su sitting on the right snorted coldly when he heard this: "A mere medium-sized mineral vein has caused such a large number of casualties. It really failed to succeed and failed. It is really an unworthy person!" said He glanced at Wu Jingjing, who was sitting next to him, with an obvious sense of blame.
This person's name is Su Younian. The leader of Huanwu Hall, one of the seven halls of Shengfu Sect, is the younger brother of the sect leader Su Duan.
This night attack on Beiyuan Slope was originally a move to gain credit from the Immortal Kingdom, but unexpectedly he ended up killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to himself. Not only did Huanwutang's disciples of the Condensing Pill Realm and Sanyang Realm suffer a lot, but also the several immortal sects from the North that came with them also suffered heavy casualties. This result naturally made him greatly surprised and dissatisfied.
Wu Jingjing on the side heard what this man said, and various emotions surged in her heart, which affected the injuries on her body that had not yet healed. Her face turned pale and she began to cough violently.
…
Liu Qingyi and others were collecting Lingyuan Stone underground, but they were not able to come up to rest every day as expected. They worked continuously day and night, and they did not finish mining the mineral roots until the third day.
The Moon Worshipers seemed to be aware of this situation, and since then they have not sent out large groups of people to snatch it. However, in the scattered mines that stretch for hundreds of miles outside Beiyuan Slope, there are still some middle- and low-level monks coming to snatch the Spiritual Essence Stone. During this period, There were quite a few fights.
The Zifu Realm and Ningdan Realm monks on the Beiyuan Slope are still in the center, and some Sanyang Realm monks are sent to patrol the large and small scattered mines. Although there are some fights, in general, they are under extreme control. The intensity is low.
As for the underground labor team, after the ore roots were exhausted, they only rested for half a day before they all returned to the underground and began to continue mining the scattered ores on the periphery.
Some people died, but not completely...
