The other party's face changed so quickly that Yan Yue was speechless for a while.

He knew that the prestige of borrowing other people's prestige in exchange for was only temporary, and he didn't want to be quick for a while, so there was no hint of grief in his expression, and he said: "When everyone is negligent, Senior Brother Zhang is busy with daily affairs, careless, and misdistinguishing spirit stones, which is also human nature. ”

Deacon Zhang didn't dare to deduct a piece of Yan Yue's spirit stone again, so he gave Yan Yue two bottles of dogtail wine, and constantly accompanied Yan Yue to go out. After Yan Yue walked away, his smile instantly retracted, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Yan Yue's direction, and snorted coldly.

After Yan Yue returned the low-grade spirit stone that he had borrowed from Deacon Yang, he thought to himself, to upgrade to the fourth level of qi refining, it will probably take six gourds of dogtail wine, I already have three gourds, and there are still three gourds. Then where are the remaining fifteen lower-grade spirit stones going?

Yan Yue thought about it, and suddenly his heart moved, and he thought of one thing.

Late that night, Yan Yue walked lightly in the mountains, came to a big tree, and when he wanted to squat down, he suddenly heard a man's gasping and moaning not far away, faintly heard.

He cursed in his heart, and climbed up the tree, and on the branches, through the branches and leaves, he saw in the distance that something seemed to be shaking violently in the grass not far away, and it was from there that the wheezing sound came.

He cursed in his heart, waited on the branch until the noise was gone, climbed down the tree, and dug up the earth beside the tree.

Digging and digging, he dug into a bag, and after he dug out the bag, he opened the mouth of the bag and looked inside, "Sure enough!"

What was in the bag was a bag of spirit stones, Yan Yue counted them, there were twenty-three in total, he hesitated slightly, put the bag into the storage bag, and bowed solemnly to the pit that was opened, "Little stone, although I can't avenge you, I will always remember your kindness!"

This bag of spirit stones is the small stone that can make spirit stones by itself, the lost thing.

In the early morning of that day, when Xiao Shi shouted that the spirit stone was lost, Yan Yue felt that this person was simple-minded, and he showed his belongings in front of others, and it was strange not to lose them.

He had always thought that the thieves of the small stone spirit stones in the morning were those people with cold eyes. It wasn't until the afternoon, when the few registered disciples who had arrested him to farm the day before arrived, and everyone ran to buy spirit wine, when Yan Yue was alone, he thought that when they were arrested to farm yesterday, only Xiao Shi did not go, and at that time, it was a great opportunity for him to hide the spirit stone.

Yan Yue only had this guess in his heart, and he didn't want to confirm anything, no matter who hid the spirit stone, it had nothing to do with him.

Later, on the day of the oath meeting, in order to open the pulse, he drank eighty percent of chicken rib wine in one go, and after getting drunk, he vaguely saw a black shadow, digging soil here, Yan Yue was drunk and confused, thinking that it was a beast.

It wasn't until the day when he successfully opened the pulse, when he saw the small stone that also opened the pulse successfully, and picked up the stones in the courtyard, that he finally understood what the black shadow was.

Who hid the bag of spirit stones, and where it was hidden, Yan Yue knew everything, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of greed in his heart. It's just that he told himself that the bag of spirit stones belonged to someone else, not something he should take. He forgot about it, and even when he passed by this place at night, he did not dig up the soil to find out.

After Xiao Shi successfully opened his pulse that day and ran to report excitedly, Yan Yue never saw him in the sect again, such a big living person, it seemed that overnight, the world evaporated.

In the sect, there are often disciples who are assassinated after being accepted as apprentices by Elder Zhuji and given spiritual weapons. Although the little stone has no spiritual weapon, it has magical powers, and if it is really assassinated, the intention of the person who killed him is really terrible.

Yan Yue thought of Master's sentence, "Your aura is special, don't let others know", and there was already a trace of speculation in his heart.

During the day today, when he lacked spirit stones, he rethought of the bag of spirit stones hidden by the small stone. He wanted to confirm whether Xiao Shi really happened to him, so he found Xiao Shi's brother who was a registered disciple, and inquired about Xiao Shi's whereabouts.

When his brother heard Xiao Shi's name, a look of fear suddenly appeared on his face, and he covered his head and said, "The family is unfortunate, there is such a demon, you don't have to talk to me about this person." ”

Xiao Shi has the ability of self-made spirit stones, and during the introductory test, he can trigger the vision of the spirit bamboo, and after listening to Yan Yue's words about the same body and mind, he can get a glimpse of the state of tranquility naturally, which can be described as talented.

It's just that his talent is beyond the scope of the world's cognition.

A person with extraordinary talents, if his talent is within the scope of the world's cognition, then he is a genius, if it is beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding, it is a demon.

When people see demons, they are afraid, and if they are afraid, they will defend them, and if they are guarded, they will attack them.

Even his own brother was terrified when he heard his name, let alone others.

Yan Yue saw that Xiao Shi's brother seemed to know something, but he didn't want to ask any more, and in the future, he didn't want to mention it to anyone about Xiao Shi.

Since the small stone has encountered an accident, his spirit stone, if it is hidden in the ground, will be too valuable to bury it.

Yan Yue came here in the dead of night, dug up the soil to take a look, and found that what was hidden here was really the bag of spirit stones, so he put it into the storage bag.

At that time, when Xiao Shi opened the bag for people to see, there were about thirty spirit stones in the bag, thinking that he should have wanted to achieve qi refining before the good news came, so he took some of them.

But there were still twenty-three pieces left, which was enough for Yan Yue to be promoted to the fourth level of Qi refining.

Yan Yue thought about Xiaoshi as he walked, and sighed in his heart, in this world, no one is a fool, Xiaoshi has always been clueless, but when the crisis is coming, he suddenly knows how to protect himself. He did use his wisdom to save the spirit stone, but he still did not escape the catastrophe under this treacherous world. If you can't keep your secret, that's what happened, and I should use him as a warning.

Early the next morning, Yan Yue went to Jinbo Pavilion to buy four gourd tail wine.

Theoretically speaking, Yan Yue still needs three gourd dogtail wine, but this is just a theory, everything must be done well, Yan Yue directly took out twenty lower grade spirit stones and bought four gourds.

If there is a registered disciple who takes out ten spirit stones today and another twenty spirit stones tomorrow, Deacon Zhang has to ask about the source of the spirit stones, but he doesn't dare to offend the person in front of him anymore.

said: "This afternoon, the army will return to the mountain in triumph, and the dogtail wine in the pavilion will be used as a celebration wine, but the junior brother can rest assured, in the cellar in the pavilion, there is still a jar of dogtail wine with a long year, and I will call you." ”

As he spoke, he took the four empty gourds that Yan Yue took out and went inside.

Yan Yue had already learned yesterday that the senior brothers who had gone out to compete for the ore veins had already returned to the mountain, and they would probably return to the sect this afternoon. I felt a little strange in my heart, it was only about 20 days since the army set off, and the battle was over so quickly?

Yan Yue waited outside for a long time, but did not see Deacon Zhang come out, thinking of what he had blackmailed himself yesterday, he was afraid that he would make a ghost inside, so he urged loudly.

Yan Yue shouted outside for a while, and Deacon Zhang hurriedly ran out, "Senior Brother Yan, this altar of dogtail wine that has been in the cellar for three years is supposed to sell six lower-grade spirit stones and one gourd, but I still sell you for five spirit stones and one gourd, which should be an apology for yesterday's incident!"

Yan Yue looked at Deacon Zhang's forehead with beads of sweat, and the smile on his face was sincere and sincere, if he didn't know who the other party was, he might really believe the other party's words. But Yan Yue knew very well that this person was a person who had to charge someone a silver ingot even for an empty gourd, so how could he take the initiative to reduce the price and earn four less spirit stones.

Yan Yue was afraid that he would do something in the spirit wine, so he unceremoniously checked it in front of him, and carefully observed each bottle of wine, but the four spirit wines, whether it was the amount or the spiritual power contained in the wine, were not reduced, but were more substantial than the ones they had bought before.

"Looking at the vintage, it is indeed higher than ordinary dogtail wine, and he is still full, is he really going to show favor to me?" Yan Yue didn't believe that the other party was so kind, but he really didn't find anything abnormal.

The cultivator's divine sense can distinguish the worldly poison, and even if the poison is colorless and tasteless, it cannot escape the monk's eyes.

The poison that can hide from the monk's divine sense must be extremely precious, and the two of them have no deep hatred, and the other party should not spend a lot of money to kill himself.

Although Yan Yue thought so, he still kept an eye on it, and after walking out of the Jinbo Pavilion, he came to the mountain, grabbed a small beast, poured out a small drop of the four spirit wines from each gourd, and fed the little beast to drink.

When the little beast drank it, it seemed very excited, and then it staggered back and forth in a dazed state, which was just ordinary drunkenness. Yan Yue's divine sense observed the changes in the spirit wine in the little beast's body, and everything was as usual, so he stopped putting his mind at ease.

Mu Feng, Rotten Wazi and other senior brothers all participated in the battle for the mine, and as Yan Yue, it was difficult to understand the specific battle situation, and he was concerned about the safety of his senior brothers. In the afternoon, when the army triumphed, they came to the mountain gate, and watched from a distance as a group of people walked down from the war boat.

I heard that the army returned triumphantly, but there seemed to be no joy in everyone's expressions.

Yan Yue saw several disciples on one of the war boats, carrying a coffin.

In the crowd below, a group of people wearing linen and filial piety rushed out, holding the coffin and crying loudly.

Yan Yue saw the senior brother Mu Feng, who was beside a crying man and whispered comfort. Then, he and several captains of the ninth layer of Qi refining walked up to the Yunyang Sect Master and reported something.

The Yunyang Sect Master's face was gloomy, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes.

Yan Yue listened to the people on the side, and whispered one after another, hearing that the person in the coffin was the commander of the army, and he was also the archdeacon of the sect, and the leader of the law enforcement team, Elder Lei, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

Didn't Zhuji be allowed to make a move, why did Elder Lei fall?

Elder Lei was killed, and the army lost its commander, so he returned early. The sect did not make a big fanfare, and the people who returned were all masters and sects, and they each held a low-key dust washing banquet.

At the banquet, Yan Yue listened to the senior brothers talk about the cause of Elder Lei's death.

It turned out that Elder Lei was belligerent by nature, and under the big battle, his skills were unbearable. However, because the ancestors of the two factions had rules and the sect was fighting, neither of the two factions was allowed to make a move against the qi refining disciples, so he only asked the other party's commander to call for battle.

The commanders of both sides are the strongest deacon elders in their respective sects.

The archdeacon of the Golden Jiaomen, but he has been avoiding the battle, until a few days ago, he finally agreed to fight with Elder Lei, the two of them inevitably affected everyone, the place of battle was far away, and the specific situation of the battle, the qi refining disciples did not know.

It's just that after a while, the archdeacon of the Golden Jiaomen returned with Elder Lei's body and threw it into the camp of the Yunyang Sect.
