Did Ning Yuan, the head of the Imperial Sword Sect, have any doubts in his heart? Of course, because he was no stranger to desert hills, on the contrary, he had always thought that he knew that area well. This kind of cognition comes from the fact that he has explored the desert hills many times, because the storm in the desert hills is a great threat to the true immortals and the immortals whose strength is lower than the true immortals, Ren Ningyuan is no longer afraid of the storm after breaking through the strength of the martial immortals, he has the desire to find the ruins of the immortal mansion in the desert hills, and has gone to explore many times.

Of course, this kind of exploration would not lead to anything, but Ren Ningyuan also knew that there were no useful resources in the desert hills, which were purely wastelands with harsh climates, and since then, he no longer had any illusions about the desert hills. It's not just Ning Yuan, the head of the Imperial Sword Sect, who has done such a thing, most of the immortals in many other sects whose strength has reached the level of martial immortals have also explored the desert hills in this way, but the results of all the immortals' explorations are the same, and over time, there are no more immortals or sects interested in the desert hills, and even the interest in classifying the desert hills into the jurisdiction of the sect is gone, so it has become a place forgotten by various sects.

In this way, the problem arises. How could so many powerful immortals and sects repeatedly explore the desert hills by an immortal disciple find that there are immortal yuan stone veins that can be explained, this is definitely not a coincidence or an opportunity that can be explained, after thinking for a while, Sect Director Ning Yuan began to ask the first question.

"Hua Changdong, your strength has reached the level of a true immortal, if you are allowed to hike through the desert hills, do you dare?" Sect Director Ning Yuan looked at Hua Changdong and asked. This question is strange. It has nothing to do with the Xianyuan stone vein.

"Don't dare. Hua Changdong replied without thinking about it.

"Oh, in that case, then why did the immortal disciple named Wang Yan you said dare to cross the desert hills?

The disciple didn't know, and this needed to be explained by Wang Yan himself. Hua Changdong didn't know why Wang Yan was so bold at the beginning, crossing the desert hills alone, at this moment, when the sect master asked this question, of course he couldn't answer for Wang Yan.

"Wang Yan is also here? Who is Wang Yan? Stand up and answer my question. "How could Sect Master Ning Yuan know Wang Yan? You must know that within a sect, immortal disciples and immortal-level disciples have never had a chance to meet the sect master. Even a disciple at the level of an immortal master is very difficult to see the sect master. Not to mention that when Wang Yan joined the Imperial Sword Sect, Ning Yuan, the head of the Imperial Sword Sect, was still in retreat and cultivating, and it was too normal not to know Wang Yan. But it would be wrong to say that there is no chance of acquaintance at all. Just now, when Wang Yan followed everyone into the Sword Heaven Hall and bowed. It stands to reason that the Great Elder Deng Chao, who knew the details, should first introduce the situation of the thirteen disciples related to this important matter to the sect leader Ning Yuan. to facilitate the suzerain's inquiry. However, because the matter of discovering the Immortal Yuan Stone vein was too important, Great Elder Deng Chao was anxious to let the sect master know the details, so he neglected to introduce the identities of those disciples.

"I'm Wang Yan. Back to the words of the suzerain. At that time, I didn't know that the desert hills were in danger, but after learning the news that the Imperial Sword Sect was recruiting immortal disciples, I had to cross the desert hills in a hurry, and I didn't have any support. Uncle Fan once asked me about this reason, and I answered it clearly at that time. Wang Yan stood up and answered the question of Sect Director Ning Yuan.

"Fan Jinzhong, did Wang Yan say that?" Sect Director Ning Yuan looked at Fan Jinzhong again and asked.

"Sect Master, the disciple was also suspicious at that time, Wang Yan's answer that time was the same as what he said just now, it should not be a lie. Fan Jinzhong didn't dare to talk nonsense, remembering what Wang Yan had answered him, he hurriedly said.

"Whether Wang Yan lied or not is not something you can conclude. Remember, if I ask you, you will answer anything, don't add your own opinions!" Sect Director Ning Yuan glared at Fan Jinzhong and said unhappily. After that, he no longer paid attention to Fan Jinzhong, who was reprimanded, and continued to ask Wang Yan: "Now let me ask you a second question, why don't you immediately tell me about your discovery of the Immortal Yuan Stone vein after joining the Imperial Sword Sect, and wait until the flaws are revealed and you are questioned?"

"In the regulations of the Imperial Sword Sect, there is no requirement that disciples who have just joined the sect must tell a qiē experience, besides, I thought that the scale of the Imperial Sword Sect was huge, and all kinds of materials were extremely rich, how could I look down on those immortal stones. Moreover, I have experienced a storm, and after knowing that it is very powerful, I am even more reluctant to let the senior brothers of the sect go and risk taking those immortal yuan stones, is this also wrong? As for saying it this time, it is really to prove my innocence, and I have to do it as a last resort, and these senior brothers Shen Donghao can testify. "Wang Yan didn't make up the manuscript this time, but his words are really reasonable, even if he wants to find faults, he may not be able to find faults.

"Let me ask you the third question, have you ever mentioned the matter of the Immortal Yuan Stone Vein to anyone other than us? Sect Director Ning Yuan was still asking questions and did not comment on Wang Yan's answer.

"No! I swear by my soul that I never divulged anything about it to anyone else. But I can't guarantee that the people who know about this matter have not revealed it to others, and the fact that I spent a lot of Immortal Yuan Stones to help the immortals, there are many people in the Imperial Sword Sect who know about it, and I don't know how they will guess. Wang Yan replied.

"Elders, what do you think of this matter?" Sect Director Ning Yuan didn't ask Wang Yan more questions, these three questions were enough to explain a lot of things, he already had his own judgment at the moment, but he still wanted to hear what opinions and suggestions the six elders had.

"Sect Master, from Wang Yan's answer, I think he did inadvertently discover the Immortal Yuan Stone vein that was hidden very deep in the desert hills, and it was not known to outsiders. Yu Yujian Sect urgently needs a large number of Immortal Yuan Stones to develop and expand its own scale and the strength of its disciples, and I feel that it is necessary to mine this Immortal Yuan Stone vein immediately. Fifth Elder Qin Wen took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Elder Qin's words are inappropriate, the movement of mining the Xianyuan Stone Vein is not small, it is easy for other sects to know, if they come to snatch it, how to deal with it? Besides, the storm in the desert hills is extremely dangerous, and it will also affect the mining of the Xianyuan Stone Vein, if these two things cannot be solved, I think it is better to keep this secret for the time being. Second Elder Li Chenshu shook his head, disagreeing with the Fifth Elder's statement.

"However, Elder Li, now that we already know about the storage of the Immortal Yuan Stone veins in the desert hills, if we don't mine it all the time, aren't you in a hurry?" Sixth Elder Meng Chunxiang couldn't help but say, he had recently needed a large amount of Immortal Yuan Stones in exchange for the pills he needed due to his cultivation, which was an excellent way to obtain Immortal Yuan Stones, so he was not willing to wait too long.

"Elder Meng is right, if we don't mine the Immortal Yuan Stone veins completely, it is better not to know about this matter, so that we will not always worry about it in our hearts. It was originally a good thing that made people happy, but in that case, wouldn't it add a lot of sorrow to us, and it was not worth it. "Fourth Elder Sun Jianfeng is also facing the same problem as Sixth Elder Meng Chunxiang, so he helps.

The third elder, Du Rui, watched several elders express their opinions, just smiled, and did not make any comments. The Xianyuan Stone vein was discovered by his disciple Hua Changdong, and he, a master, would not be treated badly no matter what he said, so he simply did not make a statement at this time, so as not to say the wrong thing and have a difference with the meaning of the sect director Ning Yuan, which was not a good thing.

At this moment, Great Elder Deng Chao spoke, only to see him get up from his seat, and first said to several other elders who were talking about it: " I understand what you mean, and I also have a deep understanding of everyone's eagerness to mine the Xianyuan Stone Vein, but, as Elder Li Chenshu said, there are still many problems in mining the Xianyuan Stone Vein, some of which we can predict, and some of which we can hardly imagine, after all, the Imperial Sword Sect has never mined any mineral veins since its establishment, and the experience in this area is too lacking, and if you really want to mine this Xianyuan Stone vein, you still need to do a lot of preparatory work, so I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run. However, during this period, it must be ensured that this news will never be known by other sects, and whoever dares to leak the slightest bit of information will be severely dealt with as a traitor!"

After saying this, Great Elder Deng Chao saw that everyone was quiet, so he turned around and said to Sect Director Ning Yuan: "Sect Master, our opinions have been unified, just wait for you to make a final decision." (To be continued......)
