At the same time, the headquarters of the Deserted Pavilion, in a magnificent and magnificent hall.

This hall is undoubtedly the most magnificent and eye-catching hall in the entire Deserted Pavilion, because it is the main hall of the Crystal Pavilion, and it is also the place where Jian Hong, the deputy master of the Crystal Pavilion, and the undoubted second-in-command of the Deserted Pavilion often stay.

In the deepest part of the main hall, there is an antique study room full of various calligraphy, paintings and source vessels.

In the quiet room, there were only two people standing in one room, and it was Jian Hong and his fourth personal disciple Qin Xiang.

"Pavilion Master, in the past few days, the disciple has listened to your instructions and carefully investigated the origin of Lei Yuan, and accidentally found an interesting information, that Xia Lingsheng, the son of Xia Yuntian, the hall master of the Qinghe Palace, who was completely abolished by Lei Yuan that day, is the righteous son of the eldest princess of the Canghai royal family. ”

Qin Xiang stood three steps away from Jian Hong, his words were extremely respectful, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the title of Jian Hong's deputy pavilion master in his words did not have the word 'deputy'.

Jian Hong's right hand under his sleeve robe tapped the table, and he said after a long time: "This is interesting information, the eldest princess of the Canghai royal family is the eldest daughter of the previous emperor, and she is the sister of the current emperor's father and mother, and she has always behaved strangely, and according to this pavilion, she also has a strange habit." ”

Speaking of this, Jian Hong paused for a moment before continuing: "Xiang'er, your information is very useful, you recently revealed the news that Lei Yuan went to the Cangjing Mountain Range for three months to the Canghai royal family without a trace, I believe that the eldest princess will definitely take action after discovering it." ”

"In this way, Lei Yuan is very likely to fall in the Cangjing Mountain Range, even if he is lucky to be alive, under the interference, he will definitely not be able to complete the punishment given by Zi Xuankong on the same day, according to the punishment set by Zi Xuankong on that day, Lei Yuan will still fall into the hands of Jingge!"

Qin Xiang bowed his head and said respectfully: "Pavilion Master is wise!"

"Hmph, Zi Xuankong used Lei Yuan to beat my crystal pavilion that day, and in the end he pretended to give Lei Yuan a seemingly heavy punishment, but how could this pavilion not know his plans! In this case, this pavilion will make a plan, so that Lei Yuan will not be able to complete this trial at all, and get rid of him in the name of righteousness! This pavilion's plan cannot tolerate any mistakes. ”

Jian Hong snorted coldly, his voice was full of anger and disdain, and then he waved his hand: "Xiang'er, you did a good job this time, remember not to let anyone notice that Jing Pavilion has a connection with the Canghai Imperial Family when spreading information!"

"The disciple obeyed. ”

......

A trial supervisor tremblingly led Lei Yuan and the others to the east of the camp, and it took nearly an hour before they stopped in front of a fiery red and bare land.

"This is the high-grade vein area. ”

A few disciples with deserted pavilion costumes were waiting at the entrance, looking at Lei Yuan and Liu Xiaobai with some suspicion, but after the supervisor whispered a few words to him, he immediately obediently got out of the way.

Lei Yuan laughed secretly and sighed that wicked people have their own wicked grinding!

"Boss, it's so hot here!"

As soon as he entered this area, a wave of heat rushed towards him, Liu Xiaobai wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and said while looking.

Lei Yuan nodded, looking ahead, this area of mineral veins with almost no vegetation stretched far away, and in the middle of the area was a ravine about one person high, and there were still traces of various excavations on it, which were obviously left by the disciples who had participated in the trial before when they excavated the dark crystals.

The two of them walked along the ravine, not staying long ahead, because the dark crystal in the area in front of them had obviously been excavated.

The further he went, the higher the temperature became, and in addition, Lei Yuan felt that the source power in his body seemed to be faintly and spontaneously boiling.

"The fire attribute energy here is extremely strong, and if you stay for a long time, you will really have fire poison in your body as Yao Yan said, but it can also accelerate the operation of the source force and increase the speed of cultivation!" Lei Yuan took out thirty Fire Exorcism Pills and gave them to Liu Xiaobai, "Take one, Yao Yao should not deceive people, even if we have this thing, we will stay here for no more than eight hours a day." ”

After walking inside for nearly an hour, the traces of excavation on the ravine became fewer, Liu Xiaobai took out the jade hoe and excavated on the red soil that seemed a little hard, but after digging for a while, there was no first-class dark crystal.

"Hey, do you still have to go inside?" Liu Xiaobai was a little disappointed.

Lei Yuan shook his head, and suddenly pointed to the place one meter to the right of Liu Xiaobai's excavation position just now, and said, "Xiaobai, you dig here, don't have so much strength, you should gain something." ”

Liu Xiaobai was suspicious, the jade hoe waved, and after four or five excavations, a bright dark crystal really appeared, which was the unique first-level dark crystal with fire attribute energy here!

Liu Xiaobai said in surprise: "Boss, how did you know that there is a first-level dark crystal around here?"

"Hehe, I'm barely a crystal array master, so I can vaguely feel the fluctuations of the first-level dark crystal. Lei Yuan said with a smile, the soul perception power of the crystal array master is much stronger than that of ordinary source people, and he is more sensitive to the perception of dark crystals and crystals, and it is precisely because Zi Xuankong knows this that he will give Lei Yuan a seemingly serious punishment.

Lei Yuan is indeed a genuine crystal array master at present, but he has only barely sketched a crystal array a few times by relying on the Phantom Crack Purple Polar Array, so he doesn't know whether he is a top-grade crystal array master now.

After pointing out a general range to Liu Xiaobai several times in a row, Lei Yuan also began to excavate, and his task of 100,000 first-level dark crystals in three months was quite small.

An hour later, Lei Yuan frowned, he had already excavated about a hundred first-level dark crystals, and Liu Xiaobai had excavated about fifty first-level dark crystals in his hands at this time, it was impossible for the two of them to have such a speed in the first excavation, but Lei Yuan was not satisfied.

At this rate, he could dig about 800 first-level dark crystals in eight hours a day, and even if he came to dig every day for three months, he would only be able to dig more than 70,000 first-level dark crystals, but it was far less than 100,000 first-level dark crystals.

Lei Yuan could vaguely detect the location of those first-class dark crystals hidden in the red soil, but he could only determine a general range, which was relatively vague, and it was this not very clear sense of blur that hindered his excavation speed.

"If I can clearly determine the specific location of the dark crystal, the speed of my excavation will definitely be greatly increased. ”

Lei Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and his soul perception suddenly swept towards this mineral vein area again, but this time it was mixed with some fluctuations in the Phantom Cracking Purple Polar Array at the same time.

In an instant, the original vague feeling suddenly became clear, and Lei Yuan could even clearly perceive the posture and orientation of each first-level dark crystal in the red soil.

"Xiaobai, follow me!" Lei Yuan couldn't help but pull Liu Xiaobai, who was still digging, and walked a hundred meters down the ravine and stopped.

Pointing to a direction in front of him, Lei Yuan said: "Xiaobai, let's dig around here today, the harvest should be not small." ”

Six hours passed in a flash, but Liu Xiaobai suddenly stopped, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and Lei Yuan was no better, his eyes became faintly red.

"The effect of the Fire Exorcism Pill is gone, and the deeper you go, the heavier the fire attribute energy becomes, and the Fire Exorcism Pill is no longer enough to support it for eight hours. Lei Yuan said secretly in his heart.

Lei Yuan said: "Xiaobai, today's harvest is good, let's go back to the camp first." ”

"Hmm. Liu Xiaobai nodded, although his breathing was heavy, his eyes flashed with excitement, he had harvested six hundred first-grade dark crystals in one day today, which was twice as much as the highest three hundred pieces described by Yao Yan!

And Lei Yuan now has nearly 1,300 first-grade dark crystals in his hands!

If the others knew that the two of them had unearthed so many dark crystals on the first day, they would probably be shocked to fall out of their eyes.

"Huh. Lei Yuan suddenly sighed softly and looked back into the depths of the ravine.

Liu Xiaobai asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Lei Yuan shook his head, turned around and said, "It's nothing, it may be a hallucination." ”

When Lei Yuan just inadvertently glanced in that direction, the Phantom Cracking Purple Pole Array in Lei Yuan's Soul Consciousness Sea suddenly fluctuated slightly, but when Lei Yuan looked back in that direction again, the fluctuation disappeared abruptly.

The Phantom Cracking Purple Polar Array has never fluctuated so abruptly, and in that direction, there may be something strange, Lei Yuan thought secretly in his heart.

In the next few days, the two of them gained more and more, but as the two of them deepened, the time that the Fire Exorcism Pill could last became shorter and shorter.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, the two returned again, and Liu Xiaobai said with some regret:

"The dark crystals harvested every day now are far beyond the standard of the task, but it would be nice if I could stay in this vein area for a little longer, I can feel that if I have been cultivating in this area, if I can ignore the side effects of those fire poisons, my cultivation speed will be at least three points faster than usual!"

Ignoring fire poison?

Hearing this, Lei Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and said, "Xiaobai, in the next few days, you will dig for dark crystals in the area I designated earlier, and I have other things to do." ”

Liu Xiaobai said strangely: "But boss, your task is 100,000 first-level dark crystals, is it okay to delay for a few days?"

Lei Yuan smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, if you can succeed, let alone 100,000 yuan, even if it is 200,000 yuan, I can easily complete it!"

That night, Lei Yuan came to the main camp hall and pushed open a door in the hall, inside, a man with a gloomy face was re-bandaging his thighs, and when he saw someone suddenly pushing open his door, he was immediately furious, but when he looked up and saw that the person who came was Lei Yuan, he immediately showed a complicated look of fear and ruthlessness.

This person is naturally Jia Yao, who was broken by Lei Yuan's elbow, "Lei Yuan, what do you want to do, don't go too far, my master is the deacon of Jingge!"

Lei Yuan said with a warm smile on his face: "It's nothing, it's just to come to visit Senior Brother Jia, and by the way, I want a hundred third-level crystals, I believe that with Senior Brother Jia's status, a hundred crystallizers are more than enough." ”
