Chapter 84: The Quest for the Spirit Stone Vein
"Squeak Squeak......"
Black Bean also spotted the fire scale tail in the hot spring and immediately squeaked and called out.
"Don't make noise!" Ye Xuan quieted it down.
The firescale tail is naturally sensitive, and as soon as the wind blows, it will immediately take refuge in deep water.
Since the spring water is a hot spring, it means that there is a channel along with an underground river, so that hot water gushes out.
As long as the firescale tail burrows into the underground river, it will be difficult to catch it again.
What to do?
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, and immediately ran the sword technique he had just practiced, controlling the Dragon Sparrow Sword to rotate and rise up on the axis of the sword body, and then immediately opened the void channel, pinching the technique with his right hand and waving his fingers.
The Dragon Sparrow Sword immediately flew out, flying out of the Void World, and shooting straight at the tail of the Fire Scales.
Poof!
The dragon sparrow sword shot into the spring water, and it went straight to the end.
However, the fiery red color of the spring water disappeared in a flash.
Ye Xuan sighed secretly, the power of the Imperial Sword Technique was still not enough, so he let it run away.
In fact, the firescale tail is naturally sensitive, and a forcible raid is not the best way.
The best thing to do is to fish, and there is nothing wrong with fishing.
It's a bit of a pity this time, but it doesn't matter much.
I didn't expect to encounter a firescale tail when I came out this time, so I didn't prepare.
After you go back and prepare, come down again, and you'll have a chance to catch it.
It's been three days since I came out, and it's time to go back.
Ye Xuan immediately returned to the sect and went to the mission hall on the way to see if there was a reward that could earn the sect's contribution.
In addition to the bounty tasks hung by the disciples of the sect, there are also tasks issued by the sect.
The tasks issued by the sect also contribute to the sect, and most of the tasks released by the sect are collective tasks.
For example, every month, the sect will issue missions to the camp guarded by the spirit stone veins and escort the minecart back to the sect.
It is the responsibility of the Spirit Stone Academy to dig spirit stone mines in the ore veins, but the disciples who are assigned to the Spirit Stone Academy are usually not very good in cultivation, resulting in the overall strength of the Spirit Stone Academy being very poor.
Therefore, both the camp of the Spirit Stone Vein and the minecart returning to the sect needed to be protected by disciples from other academies.
This kind of task that requires strength is usually handled by the disciples of the three major academies of the Kendo Academy, the Imperial Sword Pavilion and the Heavenly Martial Academy.
Today happens to be the day when the sect issues the escort mission of the Lingshi Academy, so many disciples have gathered in the mission hall, all vying for the escort mission of the Lingshi Academy.
The process of the Lingshi Academy's escort mission requires sending the empty minecart to the Lingshi ore vein eight hundred miles away, and then stationing there for a month, waiting for the next month's rotating disciples to arrive, and then escorting the Lingshi minecart back to the sect.
This task is a month, and during this period, you can also encounter demon beast attacks, and there is a certain danger, so the reward is very rich, a total of one hundred points of sect contribution.
Moreover, the aura around the spirit stone vein is very strong, which can speed up the cultivation speed, so the task assigned by this sect will attract scramble every time it is released.
Ye Xuan walked into the mission hall and saw that the sect's task release office was crowded, so he didn't go up to join in the fun.
I casually asked someone why it was so lively, and after asking clearly, I was ready to walk towards the pill bounty.
At this moment, I happened to meet several disciples of the Imperial Sword Pavilion, including Hu Xianzhi.
The road is narrow, and that's what I'm talking about.
Hu Xianzhi and several other disciples of the Imperial Sword Pavilion all came to apply for the escort mission of the Spirit Stone Academy.
There was joy on the faces of these people just now, they should have won the quota for this escort mission, but the moment they saw Ye Xuan, Hu Xianzhi's face darkened.
Several of the Imperial Sword Pavilion disciples next to him also had strange expressions.
The fact that Ye Xuan went to the Imperial Sword Pavilion that day to exchange for the Imperial Sword Tablet Lin Ruben was not a secret in the Imperial Sword Pavilion, and it had already spread.
Regarding Hu Xianzhi's bet and cheating, it has been spread all over the Imperial Sword Pavilion, but Hu Xianzhi's own strength is good, so no one will discuss it in front of him.
Hu Xianzhi just heard Ye Xuan inquire about the escort mission of the Spirit Stone Academy, and immediately mocked: "Don't think about this task, with your strength, you don't have the qualifications to mine!"
"Then you got a quota?" Ye Xuan asked with a smirk.
"Of course, with my strength, who would dare to compete with me?" Hu Xianzhi immediately showed arrogance, wanting to earn back a little face.
"Oh, knowing that earning contributions to pay off gambling debts, it seems that the cheeks can still be saved. Get the task reward next month, remember to pay me back the 300 sect contributions you owe me. Ye Xuan said.
When Hu Xianyi heard this, his face darkened again.
Several of the Imperial Sword Pavilion disciples next to him all held back their laughter.
Hu Xianzhi's face showed a fierce voice, and he threatened in a deep voice: "Don't force me to clean you up, otherwise you will definitely regret it!"
"Pick me up, what do you want to do with me?
Hu Xianzhi's eyes were slightly cold, and he snorted coldly: "Knowing that I have practiced the Imperial Sword Technique, I know each other! Even in the Imperial Sword Pavilion, there are less than one in a hundred who can practice the first Imperial Sword Technique, and my strength is beyond your imagination! And you, who have been assigned to the Dan Dao Academy, are not even qualified to fight with me!"
"Isn't it amazing? Ye Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
"Of course not!"
Hu Xianzhi raised his head and showed a proud look, glanced at a few of the Imperial Sword Pavilion disciples around him, and said in a joking voice: "Otherwise, you ask them to see how difficult the Imperial Sword Technique is, and I just practiced it!"
The faces of several Imperial Sword Pavilion disciples next to him suddenly turned dark, these people really did not practice the first Imperial Sword Technique, so they mixed with Hu Xianzhi, hoping to see more Imperial Sword Technique, so that they could go back and comprehend the mystery.
"Is it hard to practice? So what is it?"
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, his right hand pinched outward, and the Dragon Sparrow Sword spun and rose.
At this moment, time seems to stand still.
Edgeworth!
It's Edgeworth!
As a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the people present knew too well what this starting move was.
Watching the Dragon Sparrow Sword spin and rise, everyone's eyes widened, revealing a surprised expression, staring at the Dragon Sparrow Sword tightly.
As Ye Xuan pointed out with a finger of his right hand, the Dragon Sparrow Sword flew out with a humming sound, and it was inserted into the pillar of the mission hall with a "du" sound.
Quiet!
Deathly silence!
Several disciples of the Imperial Sword Pavilion were already shocked beyond words, and they clearly knew that Ye Xuan had only gone to the Imperial Sword Pavilion three days ago to exchange for the Stone Tablet Rubbing.
Only three days passed, and he had practiced the first sword technique.
Everyone was shouting in their hearts: What kind of monster is this guy! It only took three days to practice the first sword technique!
The expression on Hu Xianzhi's face froze instantly, he was still proudly showing off in front of Ye Xuan just now that he had practiced the first sword technique, and he was slapped in the face in an instant.
His face turned black as the bottom of a pot, and the resentment in his heart almost poured out from his anger because of his annoyance.
