From time to time, a drop of cool water fell between the cracks in the stones, smashing into the small depression on the ground, accumulating a small pool of water over time, reflecting the faint glow emitted by the broken Yuan Crystal around it.

"Smack!" splashed like a shadow flashed in an instant.

The purple-faced Yin Corpse sniffed the scent in the air and slowly stopped, a hint of mockery seemed to flash in his eyes.

The surroundings are familiar, and the intoxicating aura of this place seems to dispel the fear of being besieged.

There was a sharp pain between the hind limbs, and the eyes of the demon beast flashed like a human, and the remorse for returning without success, the hatred of breaking off the tail, and the slackness of getting rid of the enemy.

The purple-faced Yin Corpse stayed in place for a while, and seeing that no one was chasing behind him, he slowly moved forward, limping between steps, and there was no more speed that erupted between life and death.

It sniffed as it walked with its dark purple nose that covered half of its face, and from time to time it clawed something into the surrounding stone walls.

Suddenly, a stone rolled off the wall next to it and smashed to the ground, revealing a slightly fluorescent corner of it.

The purple-faced Yin Corpse seemed overjoyed, and immediately cut open the stone skin on its surface, revealing a crystal clear and thumb-sized Yuan Crystal within.

When the demon beast was about to suck the aura in it with its mouthparts, it suddenly felt its body tighten, as if it was tightly restrained by an extremely soft thing, and immediately struggled violently in shock!

Who knows, the more you struggle, the tighter the thing is entangled, and even lifts it up in the air.

There was a sweet aroma in the dimness, and someone seemed to snort coldly.

The purple-faced Yin Corpse gradually felt that his eyes were blurry, and his hands and feet began to become uncontrollable, but at this time, the things that bound his body were loosened.

It's just that before it could rejoice, it felt a sharp pain in the back of its head and lost consciousness.

The surroundings seemed to light up for a moment, and a graceful figure flashed.

Someone fluttered lightly past the body of the purple-faced Yin Corpse, leaving a gust of fragrant wind.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone seemed to be robbed of their breath.

Countless Yuan Crystals converged into a stream that meandered into the depths, like the Milky Way crossing the sky on a summer night.

When Shao Heng saw such a scene, he also subconsciously clenched the Heavenly Machine Sword, and stayed for a moment before reining in his thoughts.

The Yuanjing vein is an important place for various sects.

Diping Pass is only a small branch, which has been guarded and mined by the Yun family for generations, and the output is only a drop in the bucket compared with several other large ore veins under the name of Cunweishan.

Previously, in order to get rid of Shao Heng and the others, the purple-faced Yin Corpse disappeared into a dead end.

Shao Heng was really full of energy, but the others were a little out of breath, so after he and the others arrived, he stabbed the stone wall with the Heavenly Machine Sword, and unsurprisingly found that there was something else behind the stone wall.

Everyone rushed in, and immediately felt the aura behind the stone wall, far exceeding the previous mine.

This is different from the mine cave dug by the Yun family, which looks like a naturally formed hole in the mountain.

Because there was no artificial development, the walking space was extremely narrow, Shao Heng and the others had to half-bend down and move forward, and if they were not careful, they would hit the sharp stone thorns above their heads.

Along the way, perhaps there was another narrow passage, and Shao Heng did not see the trace of the purple-faced Yin corpse again.

However, when they stepped out of the narrow space, they were greeted by the Yuanjing vein as bright as the Milky Way.

Nangong Beidou and Shen Yuanzhi were both born in a family, although the two of them had a high and low status in the family, but they never worried about Yuanjing.

Shao Heng, Shangguan Chengtai, and Ning Qingyun were born in a family that is not comparable to the family, and since they practiced, everything has relied on the Yuan Jing points given by the sect and the monthly inner disciples, and they are shy compared to the disciples of the family.

However, Shao Heng is firm-minded, Shangguan Chengtai is simple-minded, Nangong Beidou and Ning Qingyun are both proud people, and after taking a look, they all withdrew their gazes.

Shen Yuanzhi took some effort to suppress the greed in his heart, and as for Shen Yuanxiu, who had just woken up, he was still immersed in the scene of Shen Yuanqi's tragic death from the purple-faced Yin corpse, and the whole person was in a trance, ignoring the mountain-like wealth in front of him.

Nangong Beidou's gaze swept over the crystal on the ground in a complicated manner, and said to Shao Heng: "As far as I know, the spiritual vein near the Diping Pass should not be large, and this place is afraid that it is a hidden vein, which has not been detected by the disciples who surveyed at the beginning. โ€

The so-called hidden veins are spiritual ore veins that cannot be detected by the art of Kanyu.

Shao Heng didn't seem to hear Nangong Beidou's words, his eyes swept around, and said, "No one seems to have been here. โ€

Shangguan Chengtai immediately glared and checked it, and confirmed: "There is indeed no trace. โ€

Shao Heng walked to the hidden vein, knocked down a piece of Yuan Crystal the size of a baby's fist from it among the different expressions of everyone, and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully.

"What did you find?" Nangong Beidou was a little impatient.

Since entering the cave, except for the appearance of the two purple-faced Yin corpses and the discovery of the cause of death of some people, the enemies that Nangong Beidou and Shao Heng were worried about before have never appeared, which really made him a little impetuous.

The dim space and cold air seemed to remind Nangong Beidou of something extremely unpleasant, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Shao Heng raised his eyes and glanced at him, looking at Ning Qingyun's pale face, remembering the scene at the bottom of Quanli Lake.

The events of that time have never been dispersed in the hearts of everyone.

Shao Heng pointed to the Yuan Jing in his palm and said, "Although there are a lot of Yuan Jing here, the inner Yuan Qi is not complete. โ€

"What do you mean?" Ning Qingyun asked softly, and the others also had confused expressions.

Shao Heng paused and explained: "The quality of Yuan Jing is divided into upper, middle and lower, and among them, the essence of Yuan Qi is naturally differentiated. After the Yuan Crystal is mined, with the passage of time and the use of the monks, it will naturally not be the same as it was at the beginning......"

"We know that...... But didn't you just take it off? As you said, no outsider has ever been here. Nangong Beidou interrupted Shao Heng's words and asked.

Something flashed in Shao Heng's eyes, so fast that people couldn't catch it, but Ning Qingyun's heart trembled slightly, and it seemed to appear in his mind that under the clear sky that year, the young man who stepped out of the accent tower with a high spirit.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ My ancestor once passed on to me a secret method that can distinguish whether the vitality in the Yuan Jing is full or not. Shao Heng continued: "This Yuan Crystal, as well as all the Yuan Qi on the ground, seems to have escaped part of it for some reason, and it is not complete. โ€

"Are you sure?" Nangong Beidou's eyes were a little weird.

He never knew that there was such a secret method in Cunwei Mountain.

Shao Heng nodded: "I'm sure." โ€

The lack of vitality in the Yuan Jing is naturally true, but the secret method taught by Taihao Zhenren does not have such means.

Since Shao Heng took the essence of the Seven Lives Phoenix Blossom in his life, the six fingers of the Mysterious Meteor have broken through to the second layer.

After the breakthrough, Shao Heng didn't have time to take a closer look, but he glanced at it and found that his sense of the ethereal things such as aura and vitality between heaven and earth was getting deeper and deeper.

It is as if Shao Heng has given birth to a pair of eyes, which can be carefully separated from these invisible and intangible aura and vitality, and they are as clear as a thread of veins.

Correspondingly, Shao Heng's control of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and the Spell Qi Machine has also been further deepened.

It's just that "The Six Fingers of the Mysterious Meteorite" comes from the Star Luo Sect's "Phantom Sutra", although it is not a Star Luo Sect exercise, but in the end, it is impossible to tell the origin, so the Taihao real person who knows the details is used as an excuse.

Nangong Beidou was suspicious, and he went up to personally check a few pieces of Yuan Crystal in a row, and the rest of the people also tried their best to check it. But they didn't have Shao Heng's method, and they only vaguely felt that these Yuan Crystals did seem to be missing something.

"I can't tell how these Yuan Crystals are different from normal Yuan Crystals, but since Brother Shao said so, there must be a reason for him. Shen Yuanzhi was silent for a while and said, "I don't know if Brother Shao has any other discoveries or speculations, why is there a situation where the spiritual veins here are dissipating?"

Shen Yuanzhi had already guessed a possibility in his heart, but it might be too amazing, and he didn't dare to explain it for a while, just looking forward to Shao Heng's discovery.

However, Shao Heng said: "I'm afraid it's not an escape, but someone who uses this spiritual vein to have bad intentions." In the end, Shao Heng's eyes flashed with murderous aura.

Except for Shangguan Chengtai and Shen Yuanxiu, who was in a trance, the faces of the rest of the people seemed to be a little bluer.

What you need to do to absorb the vitality in a spiritual vein, any one of them can be earth-shattering, and people dare not think deeply.

"So...... I'm afraid it's not something that we can solve. Shen Yuanzhi spoke with some difficulty.

Their purpose was to get close to Cunwei Shan and restore relations with Shen Yuanxi, they had not realized the danger before, and they had already damaged a person. Shen Yuanxiu was in a trance for a while, and was silent like a hundred-year-old woman, which really made Shen Yuanzhi dare not take any more risks.

"Ben didn't let you come with me!" Nangong Beidou snorted coldly, ignoring Shen Yuanzhi's instantly gloomy expression.

"Shao Heng......" A complicated look flashed on Ning Qingyun's beautiful face, and she said hesitantly: "Miss Shen's situation is not good. โ€

She didn't mind the danger ahead, but if the Shen family continued to damage the two of them here, even if it didn't have much to do with them, it would not be clear in the future.

"Beidou, it's not as good as you......" Shao Heng didn't finish speaking, but Shen Yuanxiu, who hadn't made a sound since Shen Yuanqi's death, suddenly interrupted him.

"I'm fine. Her beautiful face was as pale as snow, and her eyes were like two lights in the darkness.

"I know what you're worried about. Indeed, my cultivation is low, and I didn't have the power to protect myself before, and I also harmed Brother Yuanqi, but ......" Shen Yuanxiu's eyes flashed with determination: "I won't drag you back anymore, before I came out, the master gave me a Liuhe Qiankun talisman, with this talisman in hand, although I can't help you, but I can protect myself!"

Shao Heng saw a look of surprise flashing in Shen Yuanzhi's eyes, and he had also heard that the Zhongliu faction had "four divine runes".

The Liuhe Qiankun Fu in Shen Yuanxiu's mouth is one of the "Four Divine Runes", which does not have any offensive power, but it can protect the owner from any harm for a period of time, and even move away if necessary.

Shen Yuanxiu has this talisman in his body, and he is afraid that his status in the door is really not low.

"In that case, everyone should be careful. Shao Heng didn't say anything more and said directly, but secretly whispered to Ning Qingyun: "Senior Sister Ning, I'm bothering you to take care of Miss Shen." โ€

Ning Qingyun's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, like a rainbow revealed after washing the earth.

"Silence!"

Everyone walked forward along the hidden vein, and the further they went, the stronger the spiritual vein became, and the more nervous everyone became, almost holding their breath.

Shao Heng suddenly spoke, causing the others to pause, not knowing what he had found.

A strange aroma seemed to come out of nowhere, Nangong Beidou felt as if everything around him had been slowed down a lot, and he wanted to raise the Flying Frost Sword several times, but the Flying Sword always hung motionless by his side.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ning Qingyun's face flushed, and his eyes seemed to be suddenly congested, but he didn't know what was happening.

"Heaven and earth are righteous, the sun and the moon are fighting stars!" Shao Heng's broken drink seemed to resound in the depths of his soul, hitting everyone: "Wake up quickly!"

"Huh!" a soulful laugh wafted from afar, and the emptiness sounded.

PS: I got up at six o'clock yesterday and drove out for a meeting, tossed until ten o'clock in the evening, and almost fell asleep when I got home, sorry.
