In many cases, it is not easy to determine whether the core of a small spiritual vein has a high-grade spirit stone, and it is basically impossible to know until it is actually excavated.

The reality is that most of the small spirit veins that are dug do not have high-grade spirit stones, because it takes a long time for small spiritual veins to give birth to high-grade spirit stones, and under normal circumstances, most of the small spiritual veins will be excavated by the first monks to be discovered not long after they are formed, unless it is the kind of small spiritual veins that have been occupied by a certain immortal cultivation force for a long time, and the possibility of containing high-grade spirit stones is relatively large.

said that the monk who dug the spiritual vein below was sure that he could dig up the high-grade spirit stone, but Li Qiao didn't believe it, saying that it was about the same luck. However, this kind of small spirit vein that appears under the desert is not easy to find, and the chance of having a high-grade spirit stone is not small.

Since it is possible, and it was discovered by himself, how could Li Qiao give up easily, the only thing that needs to be taken into account is to tap the strength of the spiritual vein cultivator, but generally those who do this kind of thing in such a desolate place are basically casual cultivators, and the strength of casual cultivation is generally not high, how it is, go down and see.

It was much easier than Li Qiao thought to find the entrance excavated by the other party, because to dig the spiritual vein, it was necessary to dig a long mine tunnel in the mountain range, and when he shuttled a few laps in the sand of hundreds of meters and found a large amount of rubble, he knew that he was not far from the entrance.

However, in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, he did not look for it here, but stayed where he was and waited.

Sure enough, not long after, Li Qiao felt the vibration of sand not far away, and then quickly disappeared, just as he guessed, the other party piled up the quarried rock fragments directly in the sand, which was neither safe nor easy to expose.

After waiting for a while and roughly grasping the other party's rules, Li Qiao took advantage of the gap to get close to the other party.

In the gloomy desert mountains, there is a hollowed-out area in which several monks sit in a circle, and after a while, a new monk will come and sit here, and the monk in the circle will leave.

Some of these monks were responsible for digging the mountain, others were responsible for removing rubble, and whenever a monk was busy for a while, he would sit cross-legged and rest and begin to regain his aura.

On the periphery of the hollowed-out area, there is a rock-like wall surrounded by a large number of rock fragments, blocking out the sand in the desert.

Once a few excavated rock fragments have been accumulated, a monk will come to the rock wall, move a specially reserved rock, open a passage, push some of the rock fragments away, and then return when they are far enough.

These monks basically have storage bags on their bodies, and they don't use storage bags to contain gravel, but use this more primitive method because they take out items from storage bags, and there must be space outside, or it is the monks themselves who do not squeeze them.

These monks had to sacrifice some convenience for the sake of safety.

"Huh?" When a monk opened the passage once, he suddenly felt a little strange, but under the inspection of his divine sense, he didn't find anything, he just thought that he was too tired recently, so he didn't care, but he didn't know that a guy who belonged to the disaster for them had taken this opportunity to sneak in.

Li Qiao, who was invisible in the state of ghost vein annihilation, in order to completely hide his traces, his divine sense was not released, and in this dark environment where other monks relied on his divine sense, it was really a little unfriendly to him, but fortunately, although there was some impact, but when the distance was close enough, the sight of the immortal cultivator could still see some things clearly.

It was in this state that Li Qiao made a survey of the environment here, and then found that there were more than ten monks here, all of whom seemed to be loose cultivators, feeling the breath on their bodies, most of them were only in the Qi cultivation period, and there was only one monk in the foundation building period.

Seeing this, he was relieved, the strength of these people was no threat to him.

Despite this, Li Qiao did not rush to do it, but looked forward along the ore veins dug by these monks, and found that these guys should not have been digging for a long time, the digging was not deep, and they had not yet found the spiritual veins.

But you must know that the spiritual veins are not so easy to find for the mountains, just like the blood vessels in the human body, although they are roughly in the core of the mountains, the core range of the mountains is not small, and

There will also be some deviations.

Seeing this situation, Li Qiao didn't do anything, but chose to leave quietly.

Gave up? No, but the spiritual veins have not been dug up yet, and if these monks are killed, who will dig the spiritual veins? If Li Qiao was to dig it himself, he didn't know how long it would take.

For cultivators like Qi Cultivation or Foundation Building, it is not so easy to dig up the mountain range, if you consume your own aura, the speed must be very fast, but when the aura is consumed, you need a slow recovery process, and the speed of excavation will also slow down.

Li Qiao estimated that the more than ten monks would take turns to dig, and they would have to continue digging for a year or two, and if they were lucky, it would be possible to dig in two or three years.

This situation also made Li Qiao hesitate, whether to leave for the time being, continue to wander, and wait until the time is almost up in the future to come back to check, or wait here directly, and when it is about to be excavated, harvest directly!

But in the end, I thought that two or three years was not a long time, and it would be a pity if I was delayed because of something after leaving, and I didn't have time to come back.

After all, there is hope to get a high-grade spirit stone, if you can really get it, you will definitely not lose by waiting here, and while waiting here, you can also study the formation while cultivating, and it also reduces the possible danger of breaking into the immortal cultivation realm, so I finally decided to wait here.

And in his heart, even if he didn't gain anything in the end, it was okay for Li Qiao to kill this group of Qi practitioners and a foundation building monk, which could not only replenish the slightest coldness, but also harvest the other party's storage bag, as for this kind of random killing of other monks, would there be anything wrong with it, he didn't feel anything at all.

Just like if he took something that was peeped at by a high-level monk, and was discovered by a high-level monk, it would be impossible to survive, if he wanted to get something in the immortal cultivation world, it was normal to kill or be killed, if Li Qiao hadn't beaten the group of monks below in the end and was finally killed, he wouldn't have any complaints, his skills were not as good as others.

In order to prevent being discovered by these monks, so as to prepare, a relatively secret place was chosen as a temporary cave house, and then the boring cultivation process began.

If you have a bigger heart, you can keep cultivating regardless of it, and wait until those monks finally come out from below before you do it, but Li Qiao is a delicate person, thinking that after the other party has succeeded, he will scatter directly from the desert This possibility, after all, although this choice is troublesome, it is safe, so every once in a while, Li Qiao will carefully go down to reconnoiter and confirm the progress of the excavation.

This went on for more than two years, until one time I went down to check it out, the situation changed.

Every time I checked before, the entire passage was open, but when Li Qiao arrived this time, he found that the passage was blocked by a layer of rocks.

Because I have been here many times, I know the number of monks here, and I found that the people left outside the passage are all Qi cultivation monks, and the only foundation building monk is not there, obviously inside the passage.

Li Qiao didn't know if this arrangement was because Na Zhuji was guarding against these Qi cultivators, or if he had left any traces when he investigated before, so that the other party was alert, but no matter what, looking at the current situation, the matter could not be delayed.

Stealthily came to the side of a Qi cultivator, and before the other party could react, the sword light flashed, and he was instantly killed.

Since he chose to do it, these Qi cultivators would definitely not be able to stay, so Li Qiao made a move without mercy and neatly.

And the movement of the instant attack and the exposed figure made the other Qi cultivators here suddenly enter anger and panic.

"Who dares to touch my Qingxia Sect monk?" While some people fought back, there were also Qi cultivators who shouted like this.

A sneak attack was successful, Li Qiao became invisible again, and went straight to a monk who was already obviously panicked, and easily killed the other party again effortlessly, these loose cultivators also had shrewd minds, and seemed to have predicted Li Qiao's goal, and at the same time as he moved again, revealing his body, the inferior flying sword that was sacrificed changed a slight angle in the air, and came straight to his back.

It's just that this kind of Qi cultivator's flying sword attack didn't even pose a threat to Li Qiao, and after killing the target's flying sword, he blocked the blow with a turn, and then moved with his footsteps

, and went straight to the next goal.

And at this time, who dared to touch the words of my Qingxia Sect monk, Li Qiao also heard it, but between the turns of his mind, he didn't take it seriously at all.

If a monk who doesn't know the situation in the Immortal Cultivation Realm suddenly hears such a sentence, he will be startled, but Li Qiao doesn't believe it at all!

These are sect monks? Are you kidding? If these were all sect monks in front of him, he would definitely run as far as he wanted, let alone do it, and he wouldn't stop here.

In addition to the normal sect of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, there is also a kind of sect that does not enter the stream, because the Immortal Cultivation Realm is too big, there are always some people who don't know the height of the sky, and there are always some places that normal forces can't take into account.

Some Zhuji or Jindan pull up some monks, and they dare to call themselves a certain sect, because there is no power nearby, and some loose cultivators are not the opponents of this kind of group monks, because their own knowledge is also limited, often this kind of monks who do not enter the sect will also have a good feeling of self-feeling.

Maybe he thought that the name of his sect was very loud, so he shouted it, but the immortal cultivation world is all strength to speak, unless someone in this group of qi cultivation cultivators suddenly broke out with the strength of the Jindan period, otherwise for Li Qiao, let alone shouting the sect monk, he didn't blink his eyes even if he shouted the great monk of the Tribulation Period.

In a very short period of time, killing two people in a row somewhat made the other monks on the scene react, and various Qi cultivation period spell attacks or magic weapons attacked Li Qiao one after another.

If it was just one or two attacks, after easily dodging them, they might still follow, but the chaotic attacks of a group of monks, plus the mutual influence of various divine senses, especially from the crushing of Li Qiao's divine senses, made some of the attacks miss and cancel each other out at the same time.

The attack of the magic weapon is fast, and it can change direction at any time, but under the close-range sword method that Li Qiao shows like a show, he can't get close to Li Qiao's body at all, especially some so-called magic weapons, which are not even as good as the inferior flying swords, and the speed and attack are much worse.

As for the spell attack, although the attack range is wide, but at the level of these Qi cultivators, as soon as the spell is formed, Li Qiao has already judged the general direction and range of the attack, and he either dodges it easily, or only scratches a little edge, and the spirit shield he uses to defend against it is very easy to block it.

"He's a foundation-building monk!"

"The other party's flying sword is only a medium-grade flying sword, and its strength is average, so hold on until the sect master comes over and avenge Hall Master Zhang and Elder Xiao!"

"Be careful......

At the same time as the hand-to-hand, various words were also sounding one after another.

As for only using the medium-grade flying sword, it is because Li Qiao's top-grade flying sword is full of cracks, and the lower-grade spirit weapon-level flying sword, when it is not necessary, he will not move easily, this thing is a hidden danger, and it is the safest to take it back to the family as soon as possible.

As for the other party's words of the sect master and hall elder again, Li Qiao thought about it for a while and understood, it seemed that the foundation building monk who did not show up was the sect master, and the two qi cultivators he had just killed were one of the hall masters and the other was an elder......

Li Qiao didn't use a spell attack, although the spell attack could be dealt with more easily, but relatively speaking, it would consume more spiritual power, and it was not necessary to deal with these Qi cultivators who didn't have much strength.

In just a few breaths, more than ten monks on the scene fell to a third, some of them were more afraid of death and reacted quickly, seeing this situation, while attacking indiscriminately, people had already begun to run towards the distance.

There are those who run outside, and there are those who want to find the foundation monk inside, but their choice only makes Li Qiao's shot more relaxed and freehand, the immortal cultivator kills people extremely quickly, and some people run out of a distance, Li Qiao didn't chase it personally, but let Ah Piao float for a while.

Facts have proved that Ah Piao is still very stable against Qi cultivators, and basically achieves the level of floating by, and the other party will die.

Soon, there were corpses left at the scene, and more than a dozen Qi cultivators were all killed.

Li Qiao didn't leave immediately, but first absorbed the trace of coldness floating out of these monks, this thing only appears on the monks who have just died, and it will be gone after a long time, after all, there is still a monk of the same level inside, if it is delayed for a long time, it will not be a loss

Finish.

As for the storage bags of these Qi cultivators, they are not in a hurry, more than ten storage bags are carried on their bodies at the same time, which will affect the play of their strength to some extent, and it is okay to stay here!

The main thing is that the storage bags of these Qi cultivators are not of much value, if they are replaced by a Jindan or Yuanying Cultivator's storage bag, Li Qiao will feel like a sin to let them stay on the ground for a little longer.
