Xu Yang was happy, the Sky Killer suddenly jumped into his arms, with a pair of big eyes, looking at him deadly, Xu Yang patted his head, and felt great regret in his heart, he didn't expect the Sky Killer Dog to wake up a long time ago, this is to share the benefits.

Xu Yang took out the Qiankun bag with a helpless face, took out a thousand spirit stones and a bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill and put them on the bed, and said, "Okay, don't stare at me like this, it's strange and cautious, these things are all yours."
The Sky Killer immediately jumped on the bed, opened its big mouth and swallowed the spirit stone elixir into its stomach, it burped with a satisfied face, and complained to Xu Yang: "Boss, you are too cunning, take advantage of my sleep to count the treasures, if I didn't add more thoughts, I would have been fooled by you, this time you made a big fortune, I have a share in the seeing"!
Xu Yang said speechlessly: "You will exploit the boss me, if you have the ability to rob others, then you will definitely be able to make a fortune."
The Sky Killer stuck out his tongue, thought for a while and said, "The boss's suggestion is good, it seems that I will also find an opportunity to make a move, otherwise the benefits will be taken away by you."
One person and one dog laughed for a while, Xu Yang saw that the sky was already bright, and said to the Sky Killer: "We are going to set off, go to the spirit stone vein in Shancheng County to guard, I don't know when I will be able to come back?"
The Sky Killer looked at the Lingquan branch with a pity and said: "Then I won't be able to cultivate with the help of the Lingquan branch in the future, it's a pity, but the boss is going to the spirit stone vein to guard, so he should be able to scavenge some spirit stones!
Xu Yang patted it and said with a smile: "It depends on the situation! If there is a chance, I will naturally not let it go." Saying that, Xu Yang raised his hand and put the Sky Killer in his arms, walked out of the cultivation room and came to the outside of the courtyard, Xu Yang glanced at the courtyard one last time, turned around and left.
In the air, Xu Yang took out a piece of jade slip while flying, and his divine sense probed into the jade slip to watch for a while, firmly remembered the map of the spirit stone vein, and casually sent out a magic force to hit the jade slip, and according to Bai Zizi's instructions, Xu Yang directly destroyed the jade slip.
This spirit stone vein guarded by Xu Yang is a medium-sized ore vein, which not only produces a large number of low-grade spirit stones, but also produces a small amount of medium-grade spirit stones, which is a vein that the sect attaches great importance to, originally guarded by several disciples of the ninth layer of qi refining, and now in order to strengthen the defense, the sect sent three foundation building monks to guard this place.
The other two foundation building monks had already gone to the mine vein to sit down, Xu Yang was the last one, and the original town guard disciple did not leave, and was still guarding the mine vein.
A day later, Xu Yang came to the territory of Shancheng County, which was a remote valley, and there was a huge cave in the deepest part of the valley, and the spirit stone veins were distributed in the cave. When Xu Yang arrived here, there were already four people waiting at the entrance of the cave.
He immediately dropped the flying sword, stepped forward to salute everyone, the two of the four were old men, and the other two were the original disciples of the town guard, Xu Yang raised his eyes and looked at them, and found that one of the two old men was in the early stage of foundation building, and one was in the middle stage of foundation building, thinking that they were Xu Yang's teammates this time.
After the two sides finished saluting, the four of them took Xu Yang into the cave. The cave is bright, and there is a night pearl inlaid at intervals, and a large number of stone chambers have been dug out of the cave wall for people to rest, and Xu Yang has also been assigned one.
After settling Xu Yang down, the two Qi Refining Realm disciples said goodbye and left, they had other things to deal with, the spirit stones in the veins were still being mined!
The two foundation building monks did not leave, they led Xu Yang to a cave hall to sit down, and talked softly.
The old man in the middle of the foundation building was named Rongtian, wearing a green robe, with long kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he was in good spirits, he smiled and said to Xu Yang: "Before, Master Bai informed us through the transmission note that Senior Brother Xu was coming here to guard, and we will immediately prepare a residence for you, and Senior Brother Xu will be satisfied after seeing it!"
Xu Yang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The junior brother is very satisfied, there are two senior brothers who are in charge, and the junior brother is grateful, but what are we going to do here?"
Another old man in the early stage of foundation building is named Ouyang De, the clothes on his body are tattered, his face is ruined, a rosacea nose is very conspicuous, this person's personality is more free and easy, unkempt, he laughed and replied: "What can there be, there are other people in charge of mining spirit stones, we are just to guard against the attack of the demon monks."
Rong Tian nodded and said: "Senior Brother Ouyang is right, we don't need to interfere in the affairs of the ore vein, the previous guards will continue to deal with it, our main task is to guard against sneak attacks, and you can walk around the ore vein at will at other times."
Xu Yang showed a look of realization after hearing this, and he said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the junior brother should be in retreat here, and I am very curious about what the spirit stone vein looks like, and I can just go and see it if I can walk around at will."
Ouyang De winked at Xu Yang with a rosacea nose, and laughed in a low voice: "Senior brother should go and see, the spirit stone vein can produce a lot of spirit stones every day, we can get some oil and water." As he spoke, Ouyang De took out a Qiankun bag and threw it to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang raised his hand to take it, his divine sense swept away, and he was surprised to find that there were five hundred spirit stones stored in the bag, he looked at Ouyang De in surprise, not knowing what this meant.
Ouyang De explained with a smile: "This is the filial piety given by the disciples in the mineral vein, and the three of us will share it equally, these are your share." Don't worry, the sect will not pursue this matter, this is an unwritten rule, these spirit stones are within the normal wear and tear, they are all left by those disciples little by little, we only take a part."
After hearing this, Xu Yang understood in his heart, did not hesitate, and immediately put the Qiankun bag in his arms. Then Xu Yang, Rong Tian and Ouyang De discussed the defense matters, and finally the three decided to take turns to defend, each for seven days, and if there was any change, they would immediately notify the others.
After the discussion, Xu Yang got up to say goodbye to the two and returned to his stone room. After Xu Yang left, Ouyang De's expression changed, and he asked Rong Tian seriously, "Senior Brother looks at Senior Brother Xu's strength?"
Rong Tian thought for a moment, and replied with a straight face: "Looking at the breath, Senior Brother Xu's cultivation is good, he is about to advance to the middle stage of foundation building, and his combat power should be very strong, enough to match me."
Ouyang De's face changed slightly, and he said with some doubts: "It's impossible! Senior Brother Xu hasn't advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, and Senior Brother is not sure to defeat him, so wouldn't I be his opponent."
Rong Tian nodded and affirmed: "That's right, you are definitely not his opponent, Senior Brother Xu should not be underestimated, so I asked you to give him the spirit stone, if his strength is not enough, I will not spit out the spirit stone in my hand."
Ouyang De nodded and said: "That's fine, the stronger his strength, the safer we are, if you encounter an enemy, it's easy to deal with it, I'll defend it first from tomorrow."
Rong Tian nodded and said: "I plan to do the same, you are more experienced, it is more appropriate for you to come first." Then the two of them discussed it again before they left.
Xu Yang returned to the stone room, and as soon as he sat on the bed, the Sky Killer Dog jumped out and looked at Xu Yang, soaring. Xu Yang was startled, slapped his dog on the head, and said angrily, "What are you doing?
The Sky Killer said excitedly: "Boss, the aura here is too strong, there must be a lot of spirit stones, you let me go out to eat some!
Xu Yang thought for a while and said: "Not now, wait until tomorrow to see the situation, if the conditions allow, I won't care about you, what?"
The Sky Killer said in frustration: "Then I have to wait for a long time! I can't help it, your benefits have already been obtained."
Xu Yang shook his head and said: "Then we have to endure it, we don't know the details of the ore vein, if you steal the spirit stone and are discovered, it will be difficult to do, let's investigate it first!"
Seeing Xu Yang's resolute face, the Sky Killer Dog knew that there was no need to discuss, so he had to reluctantly agree to come down and wait for tomorrow's reconnaissance, and then the Sky Killer Dog jumped into Xu Yang's arms and hid.
Xu Yang didn't care about it, and began to sit on the luck of the exercises, the aura in the vein was so abundant, he naturally had to hurry up and cultivate, now he had a lot of enemies, and he had to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
After a night of cultivation, Xu Yang slowly woke up from Dingzhong, and then walked out of the stone room under the urging of the Heaven Killer Dog, and walked down the path in the cave to the depths.
As he gradually deepened, Xu Yang found that a large number of scratches appeared on both sides of the road, which were all traces of excavation, and it was obvious that it was not far from the spirit stone vein.
After continuing to walk for a distance, Xu Yang heard a clanging sound, and he immediately quickened his pace forward, and then came to a cave wall. As far as the eye can see, you can see many miners wielding sledgehammers, iron picks and other tools to hit the stone wall, and pieces of rubble are scattered in all directions.
After looking at it for a while, Xu Yang immediately understood the process of mining spirit stones. The spirit stones in the spirit stone veins are not all concentrated together, some places are dense and some places are sparse, and the spirit stones are wrapped in layers of rocks, and the divine sense can only scan the surface layer, and the deep spirit stones cannot be scanned, so the sect hired a large number of miners to mine the spirit stones through the secular state.
The remuneration of these miners is also settled in spirit stones, the more spirit stones they mine, the more spirit stones they get, and the miners can exchange spirit stones for anything, including cultivation exercises, spirit pills, runes, etc., so the miners here also have cultivation, but most of their strength is below the seventh level of qi refining.
These people in front of Xu Yang are all ordinary people who have just arrived, they have no cultivation, they can only open mines on the periphery of the ore veins, the number of spirit stones here is small, unless they are experienced, they can only try their luck.
Xu Yang looked at it for a while, then continued to walk inward, as he gradually went deeper, the number of miners around him became smaller and smaller, but the strength of the miners became stronger and stronger, and Xu Yang found miners with the strength of the fifth layer of gas refining.
Xu Yang knew that although these miners had spiritual roots that could be cultivated, their qualifications were too poor, most of them were miscellaneous spiritual roots with many attributes, and they had to consume a lot of resources to break through the foundation building period, and it was impossible for the sect to do so, otherwise they would have been included in the sect a long time ago.
After Xu Yang walked out of a corner, he suddenly found that there were twenty or thirty miners in front of him, and seeing their excited and scared expressions made Xu Yang curious, and immediately stepped forward, came behind the miners, and looked up.
