"Whoa!" a large chunk of rock fell off the rock face. Ye Qin smashed the rocks, took out the spirit stones one by one from the inside, and unexpectedly found that there was actually a medium-grade spirit stone inside, and the aura was extremely rich. A medium-grade spirit stone contains an aura that can almost be compared to a hundred low-grade spirit stones. The role of the medium-grade spirit stone is also much greater than that of the lower-grade spirit stone, like some large-scale formations and the like, you must use the medium-grade spirit stone to activate.

Ye Qin was overjoyed and put away the medium-grade spirit stone. It's a pity that such a medium-grade spirit stone is rare, and after digging for a long time, I got hundreds of low-grade spirit stones, and only then did I find a medium-grade spirit stone.

While Ye Qin was mining, he also noticed some phenomena.

On the second floor of the cave, there are many corpses and skeletons left by the miners, and monsters are rare.

Ye Qin would occasionally encounter some cave-dwelling demon beasts, cave tarantulas, demon rats, and mountain-piercing demon beasts. Dealing with these demon beasts, he didn't spare his hands, killing those who could kill them cleanly, and trying to avoid those who couldn't be killed. The demon beast that can catch up with him in this cave is really impossible to find.

Ye Qin was puzzled, there were far fewer demon beasts in the cave than he had expected before entering the mine.

Thousands of years ago, what happened to the beast tide that broke out in Wankuling?

He was sure that the monks of the various sects should not have encountered any demon beasts when they were digging the spirit stone mine on the second floor of the cave. Otherwise, this huge underground spiritual stone mine would not be able to be dug out.

There is a long-standing saying about this beast tide, it is that the various sects desperately excavated in order to compete for the spirit stone, and accidentally dug through the demon beast lair, and opened up the spirit stone mine and the demon beast lair in Wankuling, which stabbed the hornet's nest and lured out a large group of demon beasts.

The lair of the large group of demon beasts must not be in this spirit stone mine, but in other places.

After all, in this spirit stone mine, just some stones, without eating or drinking, a large group of demon beasts will not survive here, and they will definitely retreat to their lair after a short riot.

These are all legends that have been passed down for thousands of years, whether they are true or not, ordinary disciples can't figure it out at all. I'm afraid that only those heads, elders, or patriarchs who preside over the overall situation have a number in their hearts.

A large number of disciples from various sects who participated in the trial poured into the Wankuling Cave and gradually explored the depths of the cave. In order to avoid encountering other monks, Ye Qin had to walk to the depths of the mine almost every other day.

He was able to dig up about enough spirit stones for Tsukidan every day. One Zhuji Dan needs to consume nearly 1,000 to 1,500 lower grade spirit stones.

Ye Qin's original idea of participating in this cave trial was to find a rich spiritual stone mine in this cave, seal this mine road, hide in it to dig spirit stones, plant spirit grass in the Purple Mansion, and refine Zhuji Dan. If he failed to build the foundation once, he would refine the elixir once until he succeeded in building the foundation and then left Wankuling.

But now it seems that the idea is good, but there are several obvious difficulties:

It is very difficult to occupy a mine road without being discovered by others. He tried to duplicate the map scroll with a jade slip, and then destroyed the map scroll. But it didn't work, Jade Jian couldn't copy the map scroll at all. He was a little annoyed, he hadn't thought there was such a thing as a map scroll in the cave before he came here, and he didn't carry a blank scroll.

In addition, to refine the Zhuji Dan, it is necessary to use continuous yang fire to refine it for ten days, and there can be no mistakes in order to produce a furnace of Dan. The yang fire he emitted couldn't last for ten days.

The last difficulty is taking Tsukidan. When taking Tsukidan, you must absorb it quietly, transform it into vitality, and hit the bottleneck of Tsuki-dan with all your strength, without distractions, without the slightest distraction.

Therefore, when the service of Zhuzhudan is to break the bottleneck, most of the monks will find a very safe place to retreat in Bigu, and they will only leave the customs after a few months. If you can't find a safe enough place, this Tsukidan can't be taken easily.

It was precisely because of these concerns that Ye Qin had to give up the tempting idea of building a foundation in the cave. It is better to dig up dozens of spiritual stones needed to build the foundation first, and then leave the cave and return to Qingdan Mountain to build the foundation. He didn't believe it, dozens of copies of the foundation were built, but the foundation could not be built.

The deeper I walked into the cave, the more I felt a hot breath.

Ye Qin was a little puzzled.

The jade slip left by the ghost monk surnamed the king of Yin Xuanmen said that in the depths of the earth, there was a very terrifying violent and hot breath, which made it extremely frightened and did not dare to approach.

When he was in Qingdan Mountain, he had heard that there was an earth fire in the depths of the earth, and this fire was very hot, even comparable to the innate true fire of the foundation building monks.

Could it be that in the deepest part of this Ten Thousand Dry Mountains Cave, there is also earth fire that cannot exist

Ye Qin continued to walk into the depths of the second layer of the cave for more than ten days, digging spirit stones as he went. In the past ten days, there has been no danger along the way, and even demon beasts have rarely been encountered, which makes him feel a little bored. Fortunately, he had dug up enough more than ten spirit stones to build the foundation pill, which made him very satisfied.

But the hot breath became more and more intense. This kind of scorching yang qi is extremely harmful to the ghost cultivators with the surname Xiyin, but for ordinary immortal cultivators, it is not too much of an obstacle. Now that you have come to this underground, you can stop by to see the wonders of this earthfire.

After more than ten days of competition between the various sects, the layout gradually became clear.

Led by the Seven Great Immortal Cultivation Sects, each controlled an area on the first and second floors of the cave and extended to the depths. Set up various formations to defend and firmly control the spirit stone mine in their hands.

At the same time, elite disciples were dispatched to continue to explore the depths of the cave

The second floor of the cave is extremely deep, in a cave. The four golden-clothed monks of the Ancient Artifact Gate, each holding a low-level magic weapon, surrounded a girl in blue with a veil. Their expressions were unusually nervous, and their palms were sweating.

There was also a purple friar, hiding behind the golden-clothed monk.

These four golden-clothed disciples, each of them are the core disciples of the Ancient Artifact Sect, their fathers are all foundation building period cultivators, any one of them comes out, and they stomp their feet among the ordinary Qi refining stage disciples, they are all ringing bells.

These monks, it stands to reason, are some arrogant figures, pay attention to identity and bearing, and it is impossible for such a scene of five people joining forces to besiege one person. However, there was no arrogance on their faces, and there was a hint of fear hidden in their eyes, and they did not dare to attack easily.

Not for anything else, the veiled girl in front of them, all kinds of rumors, really made them extremely awe-inspired. These people are all high-level disciples of the Ancient Artifact Sect, and although they are different sects from the Qingdan Sect, they also know many secrets of the Qingdan Sect.

This veiled girl is the only concubine of the Huangfu Ancestor, who ranks first among the nine Jiedan ancestors of the Qingdan Sect - not a granddaughter, but a concubine.

Speaking of which, this also involves a romantic affair.

Huangfu Ancestor is a middle-level cultivator, and Ancestor Chen, the double cultivation partner of Huangfu Ancestor, is a low-level monk in the Jiedan period. For some reason, they never had children. Once the ancestor of Huangfu went on a long trip, he accidentally met a woman in the foundation building period, and this woman gave birth to a daughter.

Huangfu Ancestor is also a person in his two hundreds, so he has such a baby daughter, naturally as a baby bump, he is very distressed, and brought their mother and daughter back to Qingdanmen. But Patriarch Chen was secretly annoyed in his heart. Suddenly a demon girl ran out and hooked up with her double cultivation partner, could she not be annoyed?

Half a year later, the female monk who was denounced as a "demon girl" by Patriarch Chen died of illness.

Died of illness, this must be the biggest joke in the world of immortal cultivation. Which immortal cultivator will get sick? Especially in the Qingdanmen, there are countless elixirs, which can cure illness and prolong life, even white bones may be able to regrow flesh on it, let alone just a little sickness. Although there is no evidence, the idiots know why this "demon girl" died.

In the Qingdan Sect, from the top to the disciples, no one dared to discuss this matter, and all of them were very consciously mute. Even the Emperor Fu Ancestor was only gloomy and sad, and did not say anything. A foundation building monk, a Jiedan monk, it is clear which is more important and which is more important. For the sake of sectarian harmony, I can only endure it.

However, the "demon girl" died of illness, but her daughter survived.

Although the ancestor of Huangfu is afraid of his wife, he will not let his daughter die for no reason, after all, this is his own flesh and blood. The bloodline of the Huangfu family, and this daughter has to pass it on, but the incense can't be broken.

More than ten years have passed in a flash, this veiled girl has grown up Chengren, and her status in Qingdanmen has become extremely special, everyone admires and respects, and they dare not get too close or alienated.

This veiled girl is related to the face of the two ancestors of Qingdanmen.

If you are too close to her and please her, you will offend Patriarch Chen. Patriarch Chen's eyes can't tolerate sand, even the woman who Huangfu Ancestor likes dares to start, who else does she dare not move?

But if you offend the veiled girl, it is no different from offending the patriarch of the emperor. Qingdanmen cultivated to become the strongest Huangfu ancestor during the Dan period, and really controls the future of Qingdanmen, is he a good talker?

You can't be close, and you can't be estranged. As a result, for more than ten years, the girl was alone, and almost never acted with her classmates.

These five monks of the Ancient Artifact Sect, they are not from the Qingdan Sect, of course, they can talk about these gossips without scruples. If you have nothing to do, I like to talk about the gossip of the ancestors, uncles and uncles of various sects. The romance of the ancestors of Qingdanmen, they are naturally very familiar with it.

However, what really made the five Ancient Artifact Sect monks jealous was not just because the veiled girl's backer was hard enough. is even more because of the strength of this veiled girl, who is surprisingly strong.

As soon as they found out that the veiled girl had appeared in the mine, they immediately pursued her in surprise. In order to capture this one, they mobilized four teams, one purple-clothed disciple, four gold-clothed disciples, sixteen silver-clothed disciples, and as many as twenty-one eighth- and ninth-level monks in the Qi refining period, to surround and intercept him. As a result, sixteen people died along the way, leaving only four of them as a golden-clothed disciple and one purple-clothed disciple as well.

An extremely strong purple-clothed monk and four golden-clothed monks holding magic weapons not only failed to take down the veiled girl, but also damaged a large number of ordinary monks. It's really terrifying.

They didn't even dare to come within ten feet of the woman in blue, they just surrounded her. They didn't kill the veiled girl, they just wanted to catch it. Attracting the anger of the Emperor Fu Ancestor, it will lead to a big war between the Qingdan Gate and the Ancient Artifact Gate, which is not a joke.

The man in purple, with a high status, hid behind the four men in gold, with a serious expression, squinting at the veiled girl, very cautious, not daring to approach easily.
