"Don't go to Senior Sister Qin!"

This was the only sentence Yu Ting read after returning to his cave mansion and opening the letter that Lan Xiao had given him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He shuddered at first, as if someone had shouted in his ear, and it seemed that a pair of charming but angry eyes were glaring at him, so that he could not help but quickly turn his head and look around. After a while, he was relieved, Lan Xiao was in retreat and impacting the foundation, how could he be beside him?

Wiping a few drops of sweat from his forehead, Yu Ting felt a little weak, because he did plan to go to Qin Xueyun. After all, he has successfully built a foundation, and he can be commensurate with Senior Sister Qin at the same level, and he has to thank her for bringing him to Qiyun Mountain back then. To be able to come to this point so quickly, Senior Sister Qin is the first person to bear the merit. Of course, he had some other thoughts, and he really wanted to meet her, but as for what kind of thoughts he had, he couldn't tell himself.

The next day, he received a summons from the head Zhang Wutong, saying that the Great Elder wanted to see him and asked him to go to Qiyun Hall again immediately.

On the Qiyun Palace, Yu Ting sat on the seat on one side with some nervousness, and on the other side sat the head Zhang Wutong, and the main seat at the top was still empty, obviously reserved for the Great Elder.

After a while, the figure at the door of the inner door of the hall flashed, and a short and thin middle-aged Taoist appeared in front of the two. Yu Ting had sensed it before he appeared, but now he still had a somewhat ugly face when he saw him, because he suddenly felt a huge pressure hit him. He knew that this pressure was caused by the spiritual power released by the senior monk, just like the sword qi he released, but it was obvious that this pressure was much stronger than his sword qi intent.

Yu Ting immediately invoked his divine thoughts to run in his body, and after a while, nothing happened. This process was very short, and from the outsider's point of view, when Yu Ting saw this middle-aged man, he showed a slightly surprised look, and his brows furrowed, but he immediately calmed down.

Zhang Wutong on the side was a little embarrassed, pinched the trick, and was busy reciting the words for a while, and his slightly gray face recovered.

"Not bad. After sitting down, the middle-aged man nodded approvingly: "This is the nephew of the Yuting Dynasty that Senior Nephew Zhang has mentioned to me many times, right? Yes, yes! After only seven years of cultivation, at the age of twenty, I can advance to build a foundation, and I can easily resist my spiritual pressure, which is worthy of being a seven-grade spiritual root talent!"

"The junior Yu Ting has seen the Great Elder. Yu Ting immediately got up and said respectfully: "The disciple can have today, and he will worship the help of all the brothers and sisters of the Qiyun Sect, and he will not dare to support him. ”

There is no need to ask, this middle-aged man is the only Great Elder of the Qiyun Sect who has cultivated in the True Dan Period.

"Well, good. Wen Li nodded with a smile and said: "The road to cultivation is extremely difficult, just having good qualifications does not guarantee going far, you also need to cultivate diligently, plus tempering your state of mind. I think these aspects of the language teacher and nephew are very good, and my future achievements will definitely be above mine. ”

"The Great Elder has won the prize. Yu Ting immediately responded: "The disciple knows that diligence can make up for his shortcomings, and he doesn't dare to have any luck in cultivation. ”

"Well, that's good. It seems that Wen Li will say a lot of "good" and "good" to Yu Ting today: "Originally, when Senior Nephew Zhang said that your talent was amazing last time, I still had the heart to make an exception to accept you as my closed disciple, but today I heard some things about you again and tested your strength a little just now, but I can't do this anymore." ”

"Oh, Great Elder, why is that?" asked Zhang Wutong on the side. He knew that this Great Elder was introverted by nature and didn't like to show his face, so he just devoted himself to cultivation, so he never confiscated his apprentices. What he said today is indeed a bit puzzling.

"I've been in the True Dan Stage for more than two hundred years. Wen Li replied: "After hard work, it is not a big problem to advance to the middle stage, but it is extremely difficult to advance to the late stage, and it is basically hopeless." Not to mention the legendary Soul Condensation Period. ”

Wen Li showed a little regret, paused for a moment, and then said: "But the nephew of the language master is different, in all aspects, he is a genius, and the advanced true pill is not said to be nine out of ten, but it will not be much difficult." Even if it goes to the soul condensation period in the future, it is not a small possibility. I don't dare to rely on the old to be this master, so I think I'll just accept you as a registered disciple, and after you enter the True Dan stage, we will be commensurate with our senior brothers and sisters. ”

"Then thank you, Great Elder. As soon as Yu Ting heard it, he knew Wen Li's plan, and hurriedly thanked him.

Wen Li knew that if there was no accident, Yu Ting's cultivation and success in all aspects would surpass him, so he would express his goodwill now, maybe he would have to rely on this language master's nephew in many years.

Seeing that the Great Elder was so optimistic about Yu Ting, Zhang Wutong knew in his heart that the status of this newly advanced Senior Brother Yu in the sect was very high, although he could not talk about being below one person or above a thousand people, but at least he could be on an equal footing with him.

"Although I am only my registered disciple, I still have to have a greeting gift. Wen Li smiled slightly, and as soon as he raised his hand, an inconspicuous small disc flew towards Yu Ting, and said: "This treasure was accidentally obtained by me in a hidden treasure place in my early years, and it can resist the blow of the True Dan Stage monk when it is attached to the body, and I don't know what its name is. But it's a consumable, I've used it a few times, and I probably have two or three left, so I'll give it to you. ”

"This thing is too precious, Great Elder, you need it even more. As soon as Yu Ting heard Li's introduction, he knew that this treasure was a great thing, so he didn't dare to pick it up, and quickly shook his head.

"Don't worry about it. Wen Li smiled and said, "Since I gave it to you, it means that I have something else on me to protect myself." ”

"In that case, thank you to the Great Elder. Yu Ting then took the small round piece.

"The nephew doesn't have to be too polite. Wen Li saw that Yu Ting had accepted the treasure, so he continued: "I heard that there is also a female disciple named Lan Xiao who is also a seven-rank spiritual root who is cultivating with you, and now he has begun to retreat and impact the foundation building before he is twenty, and our Qiyun Sect is really a sign of great prosperity." And I've heard that she has a relationship with you, hasn't he?"

"This... When Yu Ting heard this, he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"If Master Lan's nephew also succeeds in building the foundation, the sect will hold a celebration for the two of them, as well as a wedding. Zhang Wutong next to him saw that Yu Ting was a little embarrassed, so he interjected and said.

"Hehe, okay. Wen Li was even happier when he heard this: "If I hadn't retreated, I would have come to drink the wedding wine." ”

"Okay, okay. After hearing this, Yu Ting praised again and again.

"Senior nephew Zhang told me about your weapons. Wen Li continued: "I also feel that your choice now is correct, and if you have the opportunity to get a high-grade spiritual weapon in the future, it will be the best, although it is extremely difficult." And the silk plate he gave you is a good low-grade spiritual weapon, and it is indeed possible to advance to a medium-grade spiritual weapon. As far as I know, if you want to upgrade the curtain silk plate, only one of the materials you need is very difficult, and several other sects may have them, or they can help you get them. “

"Oh, can the Great Elder tell the disciple what kind of material it is?" Of course, Yu Ting would be interested in the materials that could be used to advance to the curtain silk plate.

"It's a kind of silk spit out by a spider-like monster, and this monster is called a red xun spider. Wen Li nodded and replied: "It is also one of the Baige Mountain Ranges, what I know has appeared in the northeastern part of Baige Mountain, and the specific place is not clear." This kind of demon beast is generally the strength of the foundation building stage, and there is also the possibility of a red Xun spider in the realm of the True Dan stage. This monster has a hard body, and its main attack is the spider silk it spits out, which is extremely tough and can entangle and bind opponents. If you're interested, I can tell you where it might be. ”

"In this case, then ask the Great Elder to tell the disciples. Yu Ting thought about it and replied. Let's know first, there are still a lot of things about myself, and I may go to see them when I have time in the future.

"Well, good. Wen Li nodded, and soon a pair of jade slips flew to Yu Ting.

Then he continued, "It is said that you still have to have a small seal, can you show me?"

"Okay, Great Elder, this is it. Of course, Yu Ting would not refuse, and immediately handed over the small seal.

Wen Li took the small seal in his hand and looked at it carefully, then raised his head and said to Yu Ting: "This seal should be called Yu Zhenyin, a low-grade spiritual weapon based on fire attributes, and it is indeed very likely to be refined to a medium-grade one." In addition to a few commonly used materials, you need two more materials. One is Grey Stone, which I have here, and I have one for you, and the other is called Burnt Wood, the rhizome of a small plant that grows on the edge of hot lava. It's hard to know where this thing will appear, and the best thing to do is to try your luck at a market or an auction. “

After Yu Ting thanked him, he took the silver-gray stone and wrote down the image of the red spider and the red wood given by the Great Elder.

"In addition, Senior Nephew Zhang also talked about your future cultivation plans. Wen Li slowly put away his smile and said with an embarrassed face: "My Guanyu junior brother is extremely powerful, presumably the true qi in the sea of qi may have a liquid state, then it is indeed difficult to have a cultivation method and the pill used that is suitable for you." It is also expedient to cultivate that Spiritual Ascension Dao method, so let me help you think about whether there are any exercises and pills that are more suitable for you in the future. ”

"Then there is Elder Laoda. Yu Ting said gratefully.

However, I was still thinking in my heart, it seemed that my spiritual power was strong enough, and it seemed that ordinary True Dan Stage cultivators would not be able to detect their own situation. If the Great Elder saw that there were not a few drops of liquid true qi in his sea of qi, but all of the liquid true qi, would he be frightened?

In addition, it also made him feel a sense of apprehension. That is, it seems that it is extremely difficult for him to increase his cultivation, at least he needs much more resources than others. Now it is obvious that the Qiyun Sect seems to be unable to support itself, how can this be good. Could it be that he defected to other sects? I definitely can't do it, these senior brothers of the Qiyun Sect are really good to themselves, they can't just leave, not to mention that there is also Lan Mei.

It seems that we have to figure it out on our own. There is another option, that is, if the progress of cultivation is slow for the time being, you can first go to the Spirit Array Academy to study the formation and the way of refining. And now he still has a few important things to do, one is to find a way to open up his mother's meridians, the second is to bring back the runes on Limu Mountain, and the third is to refine these two spiritual weapons.

The first and second things can be done at the same time, both going home. The first thing is already an eyebrow, and when the time comes, it will be to slowly use the simplified version of the Three-Yuan Trapped Immortal Array to try; and the second thing is that you need a large storage space, and you have advanced to the foundation building, can you let the sect get a storage ring with a large space for yourself? The third thing, don't worry, wait until you have time to find materials, or wait for Lan Mei to go together after she gets out of the customs.

"Now, let's discuss the great discovery of the nephew. Wen Li saw that the previous matter was over, so he brought up the finale, and his eyes were also hot: "Of course, it is about the discovery of the Zhongpin Spirit Stone Mine." ”

"That means that the Great Elder didn't know about the existence of this mineral deposit before?" Yu Ting guessed this situation when he saw Wen Li's excited look.

"Yes. Wen Li's body trembled a little, and he was a little embarrassed as an elder, and said, "I really didn't know that such a mineral deposit existed, otherwise I would have thought about mining it a long time ago." Do you know what it means to the sect if there are really tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones? Not only can a large number of disciples in the foundation building stage advance easily, but it is also extremely helpful for the disciples of the false Dan stage to advance to the true pill. Even if it is of some benefit to me, if I spend 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones, it can also increase my confidence by one to two percent in the late stage of the True Dan. ”

Yu Ting was also very happy when he heard it. Although he knew that these mid-grade spirit stones would be of great benefit to the foundation building stage cultivators, he didn't expect that they would also be of some benefit to the True Dan stage. In this way, if you are cultivated by the sect and get so many benefits, you can now be regarded as a reward for the sect.

"When I heard about it yesterday, I wanted to go and find out right away. Wen Li continued: "Why don't you come with me to see what happens?"

"Of course that's fine. Yu Ting immediately replied, but he was a little uneasy in his heart. The reason is that he finally found out with the divine sense in the core of the sea of knowledge, if he goes together, will he expose this completely different supernatural power of his own? But obviously he can't refuse it.

"Okay, let's go to the cave house of the nephew together. Wen Li proposed.

。。。

"In this way," Wen Li said to Yu Ting and Zhang Wutong, "It is really the reason why the luck of the Yu Master and nephew is so good that our Qiyun Sect has such an opportunity, and it is possible to dig up this large medium-grade spirit stone mine." ”

At this time, it was almost three hours after the three of them left the Qiyun Palace, and the three of them were all standing in the cave of the Yu Ting, looking at the soles of their feet, which was where the formation flag where the spirit stones were stored in the spirit gathering array before. Just now, the Great Elder Wen Li and Yu Ting opened the Earth Escape Technique together and went deep into the bottom to probe, Zhang Wutong knew that his ability in this area was not enough, so he stayed above and waited. It was more than two hours later that the two of them returned to the ground, and there was this speech from the Great Elder.

"Did the Great Elder find anything?" Zhang Wutong hurriedly asked.

"That's right. Wen Li said slowly.

It turned out that just like the first time Yu Ting entered the underground to explore, after the two of them used the Earth Escape Technique to enter the underground, Yu Ting spent a lot of effort to get to the place he arrived at last time. Wen Li, a monk of the True Dan Realm, is indeed still much higher in terms of mana, and he can continue to go deeper, but it is also getting more and more difficult. In the end, Wen Li couldn't go any further after going deeper for another twenty zhang, and his divine sense could only barely detect the edge of the spirit stone mine. This made Yu Ting's heart very surprised, it was because he was surprised that the spiritual power in the core of his sea of consciousness was too strong, especially in this environment where ordinary divine consciousness was greatly suppressed, it was even stronger than the monks of the True Dan Stage, but it was a pity that he couldn't make good use of it.

Although Wen Li could only detect the edge of the spirit stone mine, he could already determine from his experience that this was indeed a large mineral deposit, and it was of relatively high quality.

After returning to Yu Ting's cave mansion, Wen Li, who was tired and exhausted, also asked Yu Ting, how he could see the situation of the spirit stone mine so far away. Yu Ting knew that this must be a question to be asked, and he had already prepared for it, saying that he himself was not very clear, only that it could be the reason for his special seven-grade earth spirit root, which was limited to the underground of the earth attribute. Wen Li only nodded in agreement after hearing this Yu Ting's speculation, otherwise it was indeed impossible to explain that the divine sense of a monk who had just advanced to the foundation building was stronger than him, who was about to enter the middle stage of the True Dan.

"Is there really tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones in this spirit stone mine?" Zhang Wutong asked nervously.

"I can't see clearly, but I can really feel the spiritual power is terrifying. Wen Li nodded excitedly: "With this kind of spiritual power induction, maybe the number of spirit stones is more than tens of thousands, because the mineral deposits may extend to a deeper depth, and with our current ability, it is even more undetectable." ”

"It's really good, then Great Elder, how do you think you can mine it?" Zhang Wutong was also excited, and naturally asked this key question.

"It's hard to mine. Wen Li said with a little embarrassment: "I can't even get close to that mining area, and if I use the treasure sacrifice to go over, I don't think it will be effective." Therefore, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and my suggestion is to strengthen confidentiality first, this matter can only be known by a few people now, and they are all core and reliable personnel, which personnel can know, this is up to Master Zhang's nephew to decide. ”

"That's fine. Zhang Wutong nodded and said, "Indeed, we have to prevent a certain gate sect from having bad ideas after knowing about this. ”

"Yes. Wen Li also nodded: "Our Mountain Protection Array can resist the attacks of more than a dozen True Dan Stage cultivators, which is only Luan Feng Sect in the Baige Mountain Range, but obviously they will not come to trouble us." First, these mineral deposits are not so important to them, and secondly, the distance is far away, and it is not easy for the people to come to our Qiyun Mountain, and besides, I still have a friendship with Elder Fan Wenhai of their sect. The other sects don't have this strength. ”

"However," Wen Li continued, "I'm not afraid that thieves will steal, but I'm afraid that thieves will worry about it, and it's not a good thing to let other sects know." ”

"What the Great Elder said is that the Piff is not guilty of his crimes. Zhang Wutong nodded yes.

"As for how to mine, I don't think it's impossible, it just takes some time. Wen Li said to himself.

"Oh, what is the opinion of the Great Elder?" Zhang Wutong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

"It is to dig near this mineral deposit and let the Spirit Array Courtyard lay some magic circles inside, and use the power of the magic circle to not only protect yourself, but also continue to go deeper. Wen Li said while thinking about it: "Of course, I can't make suggestions on what kind of magic circle it is, but what I know is that there are indeed many formations that can be used when mining deep mineral deposits. ”

"Yes, yes, what the Great Elder said. After Zhang Wutong heard it, he immediately understood, and praised it again and again. But then a question came to mind: "Then in this way, wouldn't Senior Brother Yu's newly built cave mansion have to be contributed?"

"It doesn't have to be. Wen Li seemed to have thought about it for a long time: "According to my observation, the distance from the cave of the nephew of the language master to the Lingshi mine is not the shortest. Although the suppression of the spiritual veins here is relatively small, or it is a weakness here, which also happens to give the Lingshi nephew's Gathering Spirit Array an opportunity to introduce the spiritual energy of the spiritual stone mine, but this kind of weakness will also be found in other places, and there may be even weaker places. The valley to the west of Qiyun Peak, which I know, is very deep, and it should be much closer to this spirit stone mine, and if you can find another weak point there, it is the best route to mine. “

"yes, that's for the best. Zhang Wutong nodded again and again, and immediately said, "Then I'll go to Dean Pingshi immediately and ask him to take charge of the mining and formation matters." ”
