Stepping out of the formation, Zhang Xiaosheng did not dare to be careless at all, restrained his breath, slightly identified the lower position, and quickly circled towards the southeast.
Just after walking ten miles, I sensed dozens of foundation-building stage auras distributed all around, extremely hidden.
You don't need to think about it to know that it must be the people from the major sects who come here to keep an eye on them. The Five Elements Sect is closed, so they can't get too close. However, after retreating ten miles, the circle has become much larger, and the people who are keeping tabs can save themselves a whole day. The embarrassment of meeting someone and having nothing to say.
Zhang Xiaosheng could imagine what it would be like if people from various major sects met by chance.
"Hey, are you staring?"
"Well, are you staring too?"
"..."
"..."
Fortunately, the people sent by various sects to keep an eye on them all responded to the situation to prevent anything major from happening. However, our sect suffered a loss because the news was too late, so those sent were not powerful people. He is an older monk in the early and middle stages of foundation building with little future. His level will not be too low to survive, nor will it be too high to waste nearly two years of cultivation time.
After a few months, most of the people's vigilance has faded away. In addition, Zhang Xiaosheng has already reached the eighth level of the foundation, and his realm is much higher than them. Even if he deliberately hides it, they really can't sense even a breath.
After staying dozens of miles away to ensure that the burst of spiritual energy would not be detected, Zhang Xiaosheng circulated the spiritual energy, rose into the air, and quickly flew towards the spiritual mine.
If you say you want to investigate, you must investigate. As the leader of a sect, you must do what you say!
Although it is said to be in mid-air, it is actually not very high. Foundation-building monks cannot fly too high, only a few feet high or low. Fortunately, the terrain will not affect their progress in the air, and there are no obstacles such as trees and weeds to block them, so the speed is also Fast.
Zhang Xiaosheng was lucky. The four mysterious golden elixir monks who had previously attacked Ning Xuan took turns guarding outside the Five Elements Sect for three months, because there was indeed no movement from the Five Elements Sect. In addition, they had guilty consciences and were worried that they would stay for too long. For a long time, if other sects' golden elixir monks passed by and encountered difficulty in explaining, they would withdraw. Otherwise, even if Zhang Xiaosheng could hide it from those early and mid-stage foundation-building monks, he would definitely not be able to hide it from the golden elixir monks.
After flying for about four or five hours, I was close to the spirit mine. I occasionally encountered other foundation-building monks in my field of vision. However, most of these people were walking alone. When they saw someone approaching, they would tacitly change directions and distance themselves. .
Zhang Xiaosheng naturally couldn't catch up, so he found a relatively secluded hillside and landed down, taking out the low-grade magic weapon "Earth Xuan Sword" and carrying it on his back.
After waving his hand to scatter the summoned water mirror, Zhang Xiaosheng nodded with satisfaction.
Wearing a white Taoist robe, he carries a black epee on his back. Although it looks a bit inconsistent, the contradictory visual impact is somewhat interesting.
The magic weapon must be taken out, otherwise if something happens and you need to fight, and you suddenly summon the magic weapon, then even a fool will know that you have a storage bag, and you will inevitably get into trouble.
Liu Tianyu used to be the proud son of the Five Elements Sect. Even when he came out to practice, there were always people to protect him. Most of the people he came into contact with were the outstanding juniors of the major sects. Although he had dealt with many casual cultivators, he was not involved deeply, so he only knew them. Life was hard, but he didn't know exactly why it was hard, but casual cultivators in the foundation-building period would definitely not have treasures like storage bags.
He took out more than a dozen medium-grade spiritual stones and a hundred low-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag and put them in the small bag tied around his waist. Zhang Xiaosheng sighed slightly, probably this is the best that casual cultivators can be, no matter how poor they are.
Then he started the "Breathing Concentration Chapter" and lowered his cultivation level to the lowest adjustable fourth level of foundation building. Then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward.
With Zhang Xiaosheng's current state, the disguise of "The Breath Collection Chapter" can be hidden even by the golden elixir level, and where does the golden elixir level come from in this place.
The golden elixirs of various major sects are either busy with other things or practicing in seclusion to prepare for the upcoming sect exchange conference. There are quite a few golden elixirs in casual cultivation, but something happened to the Five Elements Sect's spiritual mine just now, although it was not their fault. , but Hongye Sect has learned from the past, how dare they come here to seek bad luck.
If there is any misunderstanding, I'm afraid I won't be able to clean it up when the time comes.
No matter how bad the Five Elements Sect is, it is still a second-rate sect, so it is easy to manage their golden elixir cultivation.
Although news has come out from all the major sects that the Five Elements Sect has closed the sect, there are no stupid cultivators who can practice to the Golden Core stage. Who knows whether they are jointly fishing. These sects are very evil.
The casual cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage no longer have so many scruples. Even the Five Elements Sect themselves would not believe it if they were to do this. Therefore, there have been more Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in this area recently.
There are always some people who are taking chances. If the Golden Pill War and the Spirit Mine are destroyed, something will really leak out. Whether it is fragments of magic weapons or other things left behind due to the war, as long as you pick them up, you will make money.
Isn't that what casual cultivators are like? There is no fixed resource income, so they naturally dig wherever there is trouble. Although there are not many inspirational stories about people who were lucky enough to pick up treasures and soared into the sky, it does not hinder the appreciation of these things. People and places inspire.
So four months later, the already abandoned spirit mine became even more lively. Even if people who have been here have gained nothing and left and said that there is nothing here, the people who heard it will automatically ignore the "nothing" and instead find the news of the spirit mine as a treasure. It turns out that there is a spirit here. The mine has been blown up, so you have to go quickly and see if you can pick up anything.
So the casual cultivators left in groups and came in groups, and there was an endless stream.
Zhang Xiaosheng's original intention was to come over and see how the spirit mine was destroyed, but he didn't know that the closer he got, the more people there were, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
What are these people doing there?
You're not going for the spiritual mine, are you?
But look in this direction...
No matter what, I was going there anyway, and there were so many people that I could hide it so it wouldn't be so out of the blue.
Zhang Xiaosheng is not worried about being recognized. Liu Tianyu is a dignified second-rate sect leader and one of the biggest bosses in Bihai Chaosheng Sect. These casual cultivators are not allowed to see him on weekdays.
Even if you have never seen him in the foundation building stage of each sect, even if you have seen him occasionally many years ago, you will not associate this middle-aged man with only the fourth level of foundation building and a cool appearance with the majestic leader of the Five Elements Sect.
First of all, it has been a long time since they came, and their status is very different. Even if they were seen at that time, they would only glance at them from a distance, so there is no reason to stare at them. Secondly, some monks from the sect knew that the Five Elements Sect was indeed closed, so they would not subconsciously associate Liu Tianyu with Zhang Xiaosheng at this time.
In addition, Zhang Xiaosheng did not use spiritual energy to change his face, but showed his true face, so he seemed magnanimous.
This is called hiding in the city!
If you use spiritual energy to change your face, people with insufficient realm will naturally not be able to see your original face, but in this way, everyone will know that you are not showing your true face to others, but it will easily attract people's attention.
Isn’t this the three hundred taels of silver that are missing here?
After calculating, Zhang Xiaosheng had arrived at a place less than ten miles away from the spirit mine.
Zhang Xiaosheng had thought before that if there were a few more people, he wouldn't look so obtrusive. When he got here, his face was covered with black lines.
Not to mention one more person, even if everyone from the Five Elements Sect is brought here, judging by the number of people, they won't be able to make any waves.
As far as the eye can see, there are about hundreds of people scattered around, some in small groups, some walking alone, some hiding their heads to search, some closing their eyes to sense, and some talking and laughing with each other.
Some people come and some go.
When Zhang Xiaosheng arrived, only some people who were relatively close looked back and found that it was only the fourth floor of the foundation building, so they turned back and continued to do their own things without causing any disturbance.
Being ignored, Zhang Xiaosheng didn't care. After searching for a long time, he finally found a middle-aged man who seemed to be a bit honest on the second floor of the foundation building. He walked up and asked:
"Brother, you are polite."
The man replied impatiently: "What's the matter?"
When I turned around, I saw that the person asking the question was young, about thirty years old. He was dressed in a strange yet domineering attire, and he was slightly startled.
Zhang Xiaosheng was wearing a bright white robe and carrying a black epee behind his back. Since Liu Tianyu entered the golden elixir stage earlier, he looked to be only in his thirties.
When the man came back to his senses, he realized that he could not sense the realm of the person in front of him, which meant that his realm was higher than his own. He hurriedly said seriously:
"Fellow Taoist, I'm sorry, I was too focused just now."
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xiaosheng smiled slightly and said:
"I heard that something big happened in the spirit mine here. My little brother came in a hurry after hearing the news. I wonder what the situation is now?"
"I'm afraid, Taoist friends come first. I dare not call myself my younger brother." The middle-aged man first expressed his attitude, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said:
"It was the Five Elements Sect Spiritual Mine that was secretly destroyed. It was really cruel...I heard that hundreds of people were there, and not a single person escaped alive."
Now that it's been said, the middle-aged man no longer hesitates. After all, this matter is well known to everyone. Even if the people of the Five Elements Sect hear it, they can't do anything to themselves. Why not talk about it?
“That’s why many people with similar interests will flock here to see if they can catch anything good.”
Zhang Xiaosheng looked puzzled and said:
"How long has this been going on? Is there any good stuff left? I'm afraid someone else would have taken it away long ago."
"That's why you don't understand! It is said that on the day the spirit mine was destroyed, the earth shook and the mountains shook. It was so spectacular. Countless spirit stones were scattered all over the ground, including many medium-grade spirit stones. Unfortunately, I came too late and missed it. Such a feast.”
Zhang Xiaosheng frowned slightly, that's not right. Mu Yihu and the others came to investigate that day and reported that no one around the spirit mine survived, and no traces were left. How could there be spiritual stones scattered all over the sky? Is it just a rumor? But looking at the expression of the man in front of him, he seemed to be very determined.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaosheng didn't believe it, the middle-aged man lowered his voice again, leaned closer, and said:
"If you don't believe it, fellow Taoist, hurry up and find a place to dig. If it's too late, it will really be gone. Fellow Taoist is so powerful that I can't sense it, but if you don't have the advanced cultivation level of foundation building, you'd better not get close to the Five Miles." Inside, it belongs to the inner circle and can only be entered in the later stages of foundation building."
After saying that, he hugged his fists and prepared to leave. Zhang Xiaosheng raised his eyebrows, pulled the middle-aged man and said:
"Fellow Taoist, wait a minute. I have an unkind invitation, and please don't refuse it."
