"Zi Qing." Zi Yuanqu was already very angry, but hearing that this person didn't think it was a big deal, his eyes darkened, "Pay attention to your identity!"
However, after gaining some favor from the palace lord, he could no longer remember his identity.
Zi Qing leaned against the tree trunk carelessly, raising his eyebrows slightly, "I am reminding the elder. If the elder misunderstands," he shrugged, "I can't help it."
Zi Yuanqu naturally knew that he meant more than that, and that he was more happy to see him frustrated, but what he said was also true.
If the palace master knew that all the spiritual stones were lost, he would definitely be angry. The consequences of being angry...
He didn't dare to think about it.
Without fussing with Zi Qing, the great elder arranged: "You guys, all come down with me."
Although low-grade and mid-grade spiritual stones are not as good as high-grade and top-grade spiritual stones, they are still better than leaving empty-handed.
It was Zhu Haiyue and others who were pointed out.
Glancing at the remaining people, Zi Qing turned her head and said, "Isn't it that the Great Elder wants to take all the credit?"
It's just a middle-grade spiritual stone. Is it like leaving them all outside?
The other three men in purple didn't look very good either. They gave up their mission to assist the great elder, not to act as bodyguards or thugs.
They are all at the Golden Core stage, and he is the Great Elder, but they are not ordinary disciples at his disposal.
Zi Yuanqu calmed down his emotions and said with a smile, "Didn't Protector Zi have a tracking beast? Those thieves might not have gone far yet. This arduous task will be left to Protector Zi and you all. I will use the remaining spiritual stones. Just finish digging.”
As long as there is a little bit of breath left, the tracking beast can trace the person's traces based on the remaining breath.
Seeing the burning eyes of the other three people, Zi Qing let out a sigh in her heart. She said it nicely, but in fact, she was just giving them the most tiring work.
They were able to find the thief, and he had a share of the credit. If they can't find it, it's because they are incompetent and it's none of his business. For him, it's a sure-profit deal.
He is worthy of being a great elder. Zi Qing released the tracking beast and said to everyone, "Follow me to find the thief who took the spirit stone. I will truthfully report the credit to the palace master and will never let some people If you confuse the public, the palace master will see clearly and will definitely reward you based on your merits."
Zi Yuanqu's face turned dark, Zi Qing's words were clearly aimed at him.
This wolf bastard doesn't know why, but he has been targeting the palace master openly and secretly since he followed him.
If it weren't for the Palace Master's favor, he would definitely skin the wolf cub to pieces.
The other three were happy. There were too few benefits from following the great elder, and even more than half of the credit would be shared.
Although Zi Qing was a bit arrogant, she didn't bother to take credit.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Zi Qing mocked at the corner of her mouth and commanded the tracking beast to search for traces of her predecessors.
Zi Yuanqu was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger. He whipped Ning Xia who was closest to him and said, "Go to work quickly!"
Zhu Haiyue's eyes showed anger, but in the end she held it back.
You can't act rashly now.
The tracking beast soon found a trace of the remaining breath.
Zi Qing smiled and waved to Zi Yuanqu, "Thank you, Great Elder, for generously giving up this opportunity to perform meritorious service. We are waiting for our good news."
The whip in his hand was almost thrown out, and Zi Yuanqu stared at his back with poisonous eyes.
Bai Lianlian caught a glimpse of Zi Yuanqu's eyes, shuddered, and the spirit stone in his hand rolled down.
Zi Yuanqu turned around when he heard the sound and saw Bai Lianlian, looking around at her.
"Sister."
Bai Lianlian felt uncomfortable under his gaze and hid away from Ning Xia.

On the jungle trail, Ji Changyue lay on Qin Yang, and the two disabled people moved slowly step by step.
Without resting, Ji Changyue fell asleep due to sleepiness. When he woke up again, it was already late and there was a fire burning in front of him, but Qin Yangren was missing.
In the darkness, there was only a flame and her alone.
Don't you think she's a burden and run away without her?
Ji Changyue was guessing in her mind when she heard footsteps approaching and looked up to see Qin Yang dragging a long monster like a deer.
"You are still injured, why are you hunting monsters?"
Qin Yang skinned the monster beast, cut the meat into pieces, and used a broken sword to cut a few wooden sticks to skewer the meat pieces and place them on the fire before walking to Ji Changyue and sitting down.
"It's just a fourth-level monster. It can be solved without using spiritual power."
"……"sharp!
It's really infuriating how people compare to each other. How could she be so powerful?
After checking the condition of his body, Ji Changyue fell on his back. He was far away from the golden elixir.
Qin stood up and turned over the barbecue, and saw Ji Changyue lying on the ground, "Don't worry about your cultivation. Your cultivation speed is already very fast."
After being together for so long, he certainly knew what Ji Changyue was thinking.
"I don't want to be in a hurry." Ji Changyue sighed, "But I always feel like there are jackals and tigers behind me."
There is also Chang'an. After entering the secret realm for so long, there is no news at all.
For some reason, the thought of them made her feel uneasy.
"Chirp!"
A bird call came from above his head, and Qin Yang subconsciously wanted to take action, but was stopped by Ji Changyue.
"It's my contract monster."
Ji Changyue noticed Qingqing's approach immediately, so he didn't pay attention.
However, she couldn't help but look at Qin Yang. He was Jin Dan. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to realize it after Qing Qing made a sound.
Is his illness coming back again?
Ji Changyue knew that Qin Yang had some physical problems, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
If it were a sneak attack by a higher-level monster, he wouldn't know it at all.
Qin Yang's hand paused, then fell naturally, turning over the barbecue, "My perception has become weaker after the injury."
Ji Changyue wanted to ask him what was wrong, so she moved her mouth, but in the end she didn't ask.
This is his privacy, he can just say it if he wants to.
The reddish flames reflected on his pale face, his lowered eyelids covered his bright green eyes, and the corners of his lips were as pale as his face, without blood.
Ji Changyue supported her chin with one hand, looked at her, and blinked, "You..."
Qin Yang knew that she was looking at him, and his movements were a little stiff. When he heard her speak, he immediately turned his head to look at her.
"Can cryolite cure your illness?"
She remembered that Qin Yang regained his human form after absorbing her cryolite.
His eyes flashed, Qin Yang said, "It should be okay."
In the past, he had always relied on elixirs and spiritual herbs, and had never tried crystal stones containing spiritual power.
Although he had never turned into an animal before, the cryolite did restore him.
Maybe he can change his strategy.
"It's a pity." Ji Changyue suddenly sighed, "It's hard to find cryolite, so I can't try again."
"Look slowly and you will always find it."
If it wasn't a matter of life safety, he wouldn't be in a hurry.
But thought of promising her to protect her.
Qin Yang felt that he still had to find a solution quickly.
If the first employer died because of him, wouldn't he lose his master?
After eating barbecue to replenish their strength and resting for a while, the two continued on their way.
Because Qingqing was found, Ji Changyue didn't bother Qin Yang anymore.
The two sat on Qingqing's back and left the place.
As soon as the two left, Zi Qing appeared where they were resting.
White seekers circled the tree beside the fire. Zi Qing caught a glimpse of the fire with sparks and cursed secretly.
Just one step too late!
