The purple gold bottle is Ye Fan's biggest gain in the process of exterminating the three caves, with the civil and martial fire, the refining workshop and alchemy room of the Sword Sect will not only greatly improve the efficiency, but also greatly improve the quality, and with the help of some spiritual weapons, it is estimated that it is second only to Ye Fan personally refining.

"It's a good thing, so be careful to put it away. Ye Fan reminded again and again.

Liu Ling knew the power of civil and martial fire, although the effect of killing and injuring enemies was also quite good, but if it was used to refine spirit pills and spirit weapons, the effect would be better.

Ye Fan looked straight ahead, looked at the mountains in the distance, and said in a calm tone: "The secret news between the Golden Light Cave Lord and the Mingxu Elder of Lingxiao Palace can only be known to you, and I must not let a third party know, understand?"

Although his tone was calm, Liu Ling could still feel the heaviness of Ye Fan's heart, so he said: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, this matter will rot in my stomach and will never leak out." ”

In Liu Ling's opinion, it is a very normal thing for the people of the six major sects to secretly collude with the forces in the barren mountain, for example, the people of the Refining Weapon Sect secretly resell spiritual weapons behind the back of the Refining Weapon Sect in exchange for other cultivation resources, the people of the Medicine King Valley resell the spirit pill, the people of the Fanyin Temple resell the spirit runes, and so on.

The Hell Gate and the Five Poisons Sect, as well as the Lingxiao Palace, also participated.

In addition to engaging in shady businesses and seeking personal gain for oneself, there are even businesses such as buying murder.

As a barren mountain in the three-regardless zone, it is actually equivalent to a huge black market.

Liu Ling was ordered to take over the three caves and eighteen villages, confiscated a large number of jade slips, and recorded a lot of unknown things.

However, Liu Ling knew that Ye Fan was a disciple of Lingxiao Palace, so he thought that the Golden Light Cave Lord and Elder Mingxu were secretly colluding, and the matter was more serious.

Ye Fan took out a large cigarette from the small world, which was imitated by Chen Bo based on Ye Fan's cigarette, and the tobacco was replaced by very expensive medicinal materials, which not only tasted little different when smoking, but also could be good for cultivators.

Seeing that Ye Fan was deep in thought, Liu Ling asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency, do you want to go back to Lingxiao Palace?"

Ye Fan nodded slightly, and said: "Master Jinxuan of Ziyun Peak of Lingxiao Palace has the grace of knowing me, and he takes care of me very much, I can't let go of Jinxuan, before I came out, Master Jinxuan and Elder Mingxu were punished by the palace master, and they thought about it on the back mountain. ”

"To be honest, I'm a little uneasy in my heart, Jinxuan is too kind, Mingxu's old miscellaneous hair is ruthless and vicious, I'm worried that Master Jinxuan will be plotted. ”

"I've heard that the comprehensive strength of Ziyun Peak is among the best in the entire Lingxiao Palace, and later, when Master Jinxuan led people to do a mission, they were raided by the enemy and suffered heavy losses, causing Ziyun Peak's strength to plummet, and even the budget for cultivation resources was deducted. Ye Fan sighed heavily.

Master Jinxuan's greatest advantage is his kindness, but at the same time, he is also the biggest disadvantage, which is easy to be taken advantage of.

It was the first time Liu Ling heard about the internal affairs of Lingxiao Palace, and he was silent for a while, and said: "Your Excellency, this is normal, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the internal factions of each sect are not monolithic, and they can't be seen on the surface, but after in-depth understanding, they can find that there are many factions within each sect, and they are fighting openly and secretly with each other. ”

"Competing for gifted disciples, snatching cultivation resources, and sometimes even fighting, this greatly consumes the power of the various sects, otherwise, the barren mountain would have been wiped out a long time ago, and the Hell Gate and the Five Poison Sect would have long ceased to exist. Liu Ling continued.

Ye Fan glanced at Liu Ling, and secretly said in his heart, Liu Ling is really not ordinary, he stands at different heights, and he looks at the problem from a very sharp angle, which is not something that ordinary casual cultivation can do.

"Venerable, when do you plan to return to Lingxiao Palace?" asked Liu Ling.

Ye Fan said: "I don't know, the Sword Sect has just taken the barren mountain, the foundation is not yet stable, I am worried that after leaving, there will be changes, and I am not at ease in the mining area, the Great Elder of the Refining Weapon Sect has arranged for some masters to enter the mining area, and the Hell Gate sent the King of Taishan and the King of the City to the mining area." ”

Liu Ling's face became a little dull, it was a great joy to successfully win the barren mountain, but there were many crises hidden behind it, the fundamental reason was that the strength was not strong enough, and he lacked the power to make a final decision, if there were more than ten more Yuan Infant Stage masters in the Sword Sect, even if it was a master of the first and second layers of Yuan Infancy, there was no need to work so hard.

"I'll go to the mining area to take a look, solve the King of Taishan and the King of the City, and then think about when to return to Lingxiao Palace, during my absence, you and Li Muze must cooperate sincerely to ensure the safety of the Sword Sect, if you encounter a strong enemy, don't make fearless sacrifices, try to preserve your strength." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Fan stood up, stepped on the bloodthirsty sword, flew the sword, and headed to the mining area.

In the camp in the mining area, Liu Yuanfeng sat at the table, drinking alone, and there were several small dishes on the table.

Ye Fan walked to the opposite side of Liu Yuanfeng, dragged a chair and sat down, and said, "Why do you drink alcohol alone?

When Liu Yuanfeng saw Ye Fan, he immediately showed surprise on his face, poured a glass of wine for Ye Fan, and said: "Senior Brother Ye, brother, I am bitter, the great elder is shameless, taking advantage of the sect master's retreat and cultivation, he forcibly gave me an order, and divided a forbidden land in the mining area to prohibit my people from entering and leaving. ”

"The mining area is my fiefdom, and I have the supreme right, but now, there is a forbidden land in the mining area, and I am very unhappy, but I am powerless to resist. ”

"If I had beaten them, I would have cleaned them up a long time ago. Liu Yuanfeng said with some embarrassment, and poured a sip of wine fiercely, and the spicy taste surrounded the tip of his tongue, making Liu Yuanfeng calm down a little.

Ye Fan gently patted Liu Yuanfeng's shoulder and said, "Have the King of Taishan and the King of the City of Hell Gate entered?"

"It's because they went that I can't beat it, the strength of the people arranged by the Great Elder is slightly worse than mine, but the King of Taishan and the King of the City of Hell Gate are very strong, I really can't beat them. Liu Yuanfeng smiled bitterly. "I asked someone to inquire, King Taishan is the master of the fourth layer of Yuanying, and the king of the city is the master of the third layer of Yuanying, and the two of them also brought more than ten powerful followers. ”

Liu Yuanfeng, whose strength had been improved to a half-step Yuanying, felt that he was very strong, but he was sadly surprised to find that he couldn't even beat King Taishan's entourage.

Not to mention dealing with King Taishan and King City.

"Senior Brother Ye, do you have something to do with me?" asked Liu Yuanfeng, and the spirit wine made Liu Yuanfeng regain some of his senses.

"I'll help you solve the problem. Ye Fan said.
