You must know that although this cockscomb stone is precious and abnormal, because its use is too single, it can only refine a thing called the Blood Spirit Diamond, so it is a very chicken mineral. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Moreover, the method of refining the blood spirit diamond is in the hands of the Blood Hades Sect, the refining sect of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and other sects other than the Blood Hades Sect cannot refine the blood spirit diamond at all.

With such a chicken mineral, the Phantom Sword Sect and the Tongtian Sect, which had previously held the mining rights of Lintian City, still spared no effort to mine, store and transport this mineral, this is to prevent the cockscomb stone from flowing into the hands of the Blood Hades Sect, after all, the truth of one thing and the other, these sects that have been inherited for thousands or tens of thousands of years still understand.

As for why they didn't destroy this mine, this was a secret that only the top leaders of the sect knew, and Xiang Qi, as a person who never paid attention to the affairs of the sect, did not know. However, Xiang Qi had a faint guess in his heart, and the high-level was likely to have the intention of refining the blood spirit diamond in the future, after all, maybe one day, the refining method of this blood spirit diamond would come out.

But then again, holding the Blood Spirit Diamond can be exchanged for other minerals or spirit stones from the Blood Hades Sect, this is also a self-evident truth, the Phantom Sword Sect and the high-level leaders of the Tongtian Sect certainly understand the truth that strange goods can be inhabited, so the advantages of storing this ore still outweigh the disadvantages.

And now, the cockscomb stone mined by the Phantom Sword Sect actually fell into the hands of the white-faced young man, an outsider, which surprised Xiang Qi at the same time, and at the same time, he was also thinking about the cat hidden behind it.

It seems that among the disciples of the Phantom Sword Sect who are responsible for the mining, storage and transportation of spirit stones, there must be inner ghosts. And this person is quite high-level, and he is by no means an ordinary person. And Xiang Qi, as the incoming law enforcement envoy, naturally will not let this matter go, he will do his best to find out this inner ghost.

Xiang Qihui did this, not because of how high his sense of responsibility was, or how strong his sense of justice was, but because he knew in his heart that there was an inner ghost here, and it would be difficult for Xiang Qi to do it if he wanted to be alone and not be affected. If you are not careful, it is not impossible to lose your life here.

Instead of passively guarding against being calculated by others, it is better to take the initiative to find this person. Even if you can't subdue or kill this person, you can take precautions in advance so that you don't get confused and be remembered or killed.

Therefore, Xiang Qi's move is completely out of personal safety.

At this time, there are still three or four days left before reporting to take office, and Xiang Qi plans to use this time to learn about the customs and customs of Lintian City and the forces of all parties, so as to carry out the work next.

Xiang Qi naturally will not forget that the important breakthrough in this matter, the white-faced young man Shi Buliang, this person has now been destroyed by himself, and all the information about him can only be knocked on the side by chance.

In the next three days, Xiang Qi frequently went in and out of the famous teahouses, markets, gardens, etc., and even some Fengyue places in the prosperous area, he also went several times, of course, he didn't go here to look for flowers and willows.

Although the Heavenly City was nominally governed by the Tongtian Sect, this was limited to minerals and other useful minerals for the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and as for other aspects, such as mortals, land, merchants, etc., the Tongtian Sect was not interested in the slightest. As long as the minerals are mined away, the Tongtian faction has always ignored the mundane things in the secular world.

In recent years, the mineral mining rights of Lintian City have been transferred to the Phantom Sword Sect, and the Tongtian Sect has withdrawn most of the disciples stationed in Lintian City.

Except for the Tongtian Sect, this Heavenly City is controlled by the three major forces.

To the west of the city, hundreds of luxuriously built houses are clustered around a huge building like an imperial city, carved dragons and jade, and this is the Bai family's Youxian City.

The mortal children of the Bai family lived in the hundreds of houses around Youxian City, while the immortal cultivators with spiritual roots lived in Youxian City.

It is said that the Bai family has thousands of mortal disciples, and there are as many as 100 immortal cultivators with spiritual roots, and among these 100 immortal cultivators, there are nearly ten monks in the foundation building period. And the ancestor of the Bai family is a powerful existence in the late stage of foundation building.

In this Heavenly City, in addition to the Tongtian Sect, the strength of the Bai family is also the strongest. However, what is surprising is that no matter how strong the Bai family is, there has never been a case where the Bai family has taken the initiative to attack and seize the sphere of influence of others, and for hundreds of years, the Bai family has behaved very well with the status quo. No one knows what the Bai family's reason for doing this is.

And the east of the city is different.

Although the east of the city is governed by a scattered cultivation alliance called the Thousand Friends Alliance, this Thousand Friends Alliance is a loose cultivation alliance after all, and there are often some internal struggles for power and profit in the alliance, which makes the already discordant Thousand Friends Alliance even more chaotic and has no intention of caring about it.

Therefore, the east of the city is mixed and chaotic, and it does not look like a big city at all, but it looks like a chaotic and noisy market.

The immortal cultivators who live here live a precarious life, let alone a mortal who is powerless. They yearn for the carefree life of the mortals in Xicheng, but helplessly, they are not the children of the Bai family, and they are not allowed to enter Xicheng at all.

Several leaders of the Thousand Friends League tried to change the bad status quo in the east of the city, but they were trapped in the discord and chaos within the alliance, but they failed to change it in the slightest, on the contrary, the chaos in the east of the city intensified.

The Thousand Friends Alliance is not like its name, there are really thousands of immortal cultivators. The immortal cultivators who joined it were seventy or eighty, and among these people, there were mostly low-level immortal cultivators below the foundation building period.

And the Thousand Friends League is headed by three monks in the middle of the foundation building, because these three people are equal in strength, and they fight openly and secretly with each other, no one is convinced by anyone, since the last old alliance leader died and sat down, in the past thirty years, the Thousand Friends League has no alliance leader. This has also led to the current chaotic state of the Thousand Friends Alliance.

And this third-party force is a new force that has just risen in recent years. To say that it is a rise is a bit of a truth.

Because they were already a force that had existed for a long time, they had just moved their positions. They were none other than the dozens of disciples of the Phantom Sword Sect stationed in Lintian City.

Among these dozens of disciples, there are three disciples in the foundation building period, and the remaining twenty or so disciples are not low in cultivation, all of them are some Qi refining twelfth and thirteenth layer cultivators.

Although the number of people in the Phantom Sword Sect is not large, they bear the name of "Phantom Sword Sect", and for a while, the Thousand Friends League or the Bai family all respect them, and they do not behave out of line.

For example, the ore veins located in Xiaojiu Mountain must suffer several attacks every month, although the scale of these attacks is not large, and there are no major losses due to this, but the attacks that must be carried out every month make the absentees live in panic every day, which greatly affects their enthusiasm for mining, and the speed of mining is also greatly affected.

For another example, the Thousand Friends Alliance or the Bai Family did not blatantly find the Phantom Sword Sect to collect protection fees, but after all, the Phantom Sword Sect was mining on other people's boundaries to make a profit, and on weekdays, they would more or less send some benefits to the Thousand Friends League or the Bai Family.

Of course, this gift is also exquisite. If they go straight to the Bai family or the Thousand Friends Alliance, they will not dare to accept it, even if they are full of guts. Therefore, if you want to give away the benefits and open the mine smoothly, you must make up all kinds of reasons. And these reasons are often longevity, concubines, and children.
