Chapter 154: Conflict of Interests
"Hmm, storage bag? I'm X, I forgot to take off the storage bag. Zhu Xiaopeng smiled bitterly.
Of course, Zhu Xiaopeng would not let the flames continue to burn, and the storage bag was also cremated.
He immediately summoned water arrows to extinguish the flames. He removed the bodies of the monks and took off the storage bags around their waists, and two monks not only had storage bags, but also storage rings, and Xiaopeng also took them off.
Then, Zhu Xiaopeng piled up the corpses of the monks again. Several flames popped out from his fingers and shot at the pile of monks' corpses, the flames burned rapidly, and in a long time, the monks' corpses were already engulfed in the raging flames, and after another twenty minutes or so, the monks' corpses were gone, only a pile of black and gray ashes remained. Xiaopeng flicked his sleeves again, and the pile of ashes scattered. After a few more brushes, the ashes were blown away into the distance by his mana, leaving only a scorched black mark on the ground.
"In the next reincarnation, don't cultivate immortals anymore, immortals, it's not so easy to cultivate, it's better to be an ordinary mortal. Zhu Xiaopeng sighed.
After cremating the bodies of the monks, Xiaopeng's sentimental thoughts were also put away, and he probed his spiritual sense into the storage bag and storage ring one by one.
"Well, yes, the harvest is really good, no wonder the master wants to do the business of robbery.
This is too easy, adding up to more than a million spirit stones!
Spiritual herbs, magic weapons, jade slips, and pills are really everything.
If you replace them all with spirit stones, I'm afraid there will be as many as two or three million spirit stones. It seems that these monks of the great sects are worth a lot of money. Zhu Xiaopeng sighed.
"I'd better leave this place of right and wrong, the Immortal Dao Sect has died so many monks here, they will definitely not stop there.
Maybe it won't be long before. There will be monks who will come to take revenge. Zhu Xiaopeng said in his heart.
Since there is danger, Zhu Xiaopeng certainly doesn't want to stay here for a moment. He immediately took up his flight and flew into the sky.
Just as he was about to speed away, he immediately stopped again.
"No, why do the monks of these two major sects fight here?
So what is the reason why they are fighting here?
The fighting methods between monks are the same as those of mortals. That is for the sake of their respective interests.
So what kind of interests will make them fight here?
What kind of interests make them kill each other?
This barren mountain and wild place, in addition to the elixir, the spiritual vein. Ore and the like, there should be nothing to fight about. Zhu Xiaopeng's mind was in a hurry at this time, guessing the reason for their fight.
Zhu Xiaopeng couldn't think of anything famous after thinking about it for a while, so he let go of his spiritual sense within a radius of a few hundred meters. Keep probing. I want to find out why.
His spiritual sense probed very carefully, and he didn't miss a single blind spot, and just when he was about to be disappointed, he really made a discovery.
"There's a hole over there. Could it be that the reason for the battle between the two sect monks is not in that hole?" Xiao Peng said in his heart.
He made a discovery, and of course he had to go and see for himself. So, he immediately flew towards the hole. When he dropped the flying sword and looked closely at the entrance of the cave, he found that this cave was not a natural cave entrance. It's artificially excavated.
Now, he was even more skeptical. There must be a secret in this cave.
He probed his spiritual sense into the mouth of the cave and went deeper into the cave, which was not very deep, only about forty meters in appearance. There were only a few scattered stones inside, and nothing else was found.
Although Xiaopeng didn't find anything, he also understood that the secret must still be in this cave. He walked towards the cave and looked closely at the walls, he already suspected that the cave might be a spirit stone mine or a place with special ores or something.
There was mud on the cave wall, and there were stones, and those stones looked different from ordinary stones, Zhu Xiaopeng picked up a small piece of the ore scattered on the ground, and found that this stone was extremely heavy, and it was also similar to the small amount of ore found in the storage bag.
"This should be an ore cave, I don't know what kind of ore this is, let the monks of the two major sects fight for them here?" Zhu Xiaopeng muttered to himself.
Zhu Xiaopeng didn't know these ores, and he didn't know how much they were worth, but he was definitely not happy to let him mine in this ore cave.
Besides, the monks of the two major sects could return here at any time, and if he stayed here for too long, he would definitely be in big trouble.
Before Zhu Xiaopeng left the cave, of course, he used a flying sword to dig a few large pieces of ore on the cave wall and put them into the jade pendant. I don't know what it's for, but if I dig a little and put it away, I might be able to use it in the future.
Regarding the ores in the cave, Zhu Xiaopeng could only say goodbye to them regretfully. There was nothing that interested him here, and he immediately took off his sword and sped away from the valley, preparing to find another safe place to meditate and restore his depleted spiritual sense.
Not to mention the flight of Xpeng Edgeworth. Let's go back and let me talk about why the foundation building monks of the two major sects are fighting here.
The mine cave discovered by Xiaopeng is the reason why the two major sects of the foundation building monks are fighting.
This ore is one of the important raw materials for refining the best magic weapons. And the magic weapon is a must-have for low-level monks, so it is still very valuable for low-level monks.
The earliest discoverer of the ore here was the monks of the Qiyu Sect, and their sect was best at refining tools, and the demand for various ores was also very large.
Therefore, the monks of the Qiyu Sect often faced a situation where there were no ores to refine, so the top leaders of the sect formulated a set of reward schemes.
The plan focuses on the idea that if the monks of the Qiyu Sect can discover new ore veins and mine them by the sect, they will be rewarded with a large number of spirit stones.
And the two Qiyu Sect foundation building monks who first discovered the ore vein here, when they discovered this ore vein, they did not report it to the sect at the first time.
They want to dig secretly for a period of time, and after obtaining a large amount of ore, they will report it to the sect, and they can get a large number of spirit stone rewards again, in that case, they will kill two birds with one stone.
Their plan was really good, and they did dig a lot of ore at first.
But on the third day of their excavation, the mine they dug was discovered by two monks of the Immortal Dao Sect.
Although they didn't know how to refine weapons and didn't know much about ores, they were also greedy when they saw that the two monks of the Qiyu Sect were mining here, and they also wanted to get a piece of the pie and get some benefits.
So the two sides disagreed, and they fought the law.
Although the foundation building monks of the Qiyu Sect were proficient in refining weapons, they were not very good at fighting methods, and they were defeated by the two monks of the Immortal Dao Sect and fled in a hurry.
When they fled back to the Qiyu Sect and were about to report to the sect, they suddenly hid the matter again.
They found eight monks who were familiar with each other, and killed them again, preparing to quietly get rid of the two monks of the Immortal Dao Sect, and then continue to dig their ore and make a fortune in a muffled voice.
They could do this, and of course the two monks of the Immortal Dao Sect could also imagine it. Although they didn't know the ore here, there would definitely be people in the sect who knew it, so they dug up a few pieces of ore and brought them back to the sect to find a refiner for identification, only to know that this kind of ore can be used to refine the best magic weapons, and it is still very valuable, which immediately made the two of them very happy.
In order to occupy the mine, they found a foundation monk they knew well in the sect and prepared to excavate the ore.
Coincidentally, their numbers and strength were exactly the same as the strength of the monks in Qiyu.
So between the two sects of the foundation monks, for this mine, there was a battle here.
And Zhu Xiaopeng also happened to encounter their fight, so the latter happened.
After Zhu Xiaopeng left the mine, it took about two days for five monks from the Immortal Dao Sect to arrive here.
One of the two monks was a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, and the other was a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan.
And the other three monks were the three foundation monks who escaped that day.
"Uncle Shi, all seven of them were killed and fallen here by the foundation building monk of the Instrumental Universe. Li Buyang (he was the first Immortal Dao Sect monk to flee that day) said to the two Jindan monks.
"They were killed, and it was really not easy for the three of you to survive!" Wu Gu (a mid-stage Jindan cultivator of the Immortal Dao Sect) sneered.
"Uncle Shi, we had to choose to withdraw at that time, there were too many of them, and if we continue to fight, we must all fall. Li Buyang said with a guilty face.
"What is what our Immortal Dao Sect is best at? Wu Gu said angrily.
"What we do best is kendo, which is a powerful attack. Li Buyang said.
"Hmph, but you let almost all the monks of the Qiyu Sect fall, what kind of face do you have as a disciple of the Immortal Dao Sect. Wu Gu scolded angrily.
"Senior Uncle, we were fighting with the monks of the Qiyu Sect at the time, and they had already been killed by us and had no more power, when a scattered cultivator in the foundation building period suddenly appeared, interrupting our fighting method.
He also helped the monks of the Qiyu Sect to deal with us, and led us to fall into disadvantage, and the seven junior disciples were killed by the monks of the Qiyu Sect. Li Buyang argued.
"Scattered cultivators, there are actually scattered cultivators who dare to go against our Immortal Dao Sect?" Wu Gu asked angrily.
"Yes, Uncle Shi, he also said that our Immortal Dao Sect is about to decline.
The two juniors were also present at the time, and they should have heard it clearly. Li Buyang said.
Two other Tsukiji monks immediately confirmed this.
"In the foundation building period, I have such a big courage to dare not take our Immortal Dao Sect in my eyes, I am really impatient!" Wu Gu said with a gloomy face.
"Uncle Shi, I have his image here, do you want to see it?" Li Buyang took out a piece of jade and asked. (To be continued......)
