When Tianjiu was trying to refine Xiao Yuan Dan, in a mountain recess thousands of miles away, it was a busy scene at this time. Bags of rough spars were transported out of the ground and piled up in simple thatched houses. Hundreds of Qi refining disciples dressed in Huachen Outer Gate costumes lined up and waited by the thatched hut, waiting for the rough stones in their bags to be inspected and put into storage, and then transported to the sect.

Here, it is the lifeblood of Huachenmen, the only mine that can still produce rough spars, Yizhifeng spar mine.

There are twenty-three mining areas, each of which is self-contained, and because each area produces different products and has different disciples who exploit them, these mining areas rarely come and go. If there is a conflict between the mining areas, most of them will be handled through negotiation under the supervision of the spar mine inspectors.

In the eighteenth district, the junction of the nineteenth district, the originally hot mining scene came to an abrupt end.

Jiang Xu, the inspector, had a gloomy face, looked at the rough stones and stumps and broken arms scattered all over the place, and shouted: "Weishenme wants to fight privately? Who did it first?"

"Uncle Shi, it was the people of the Nineteenth District who made the first move, and they attacked us!" said a short, dark and thin monk who stood up and pointed to the dove-faced monk who also had a charcoal black face.

The short monk reached the peak of the seventh layer of qi refining, while the dove-faced monk reached the eighth layer of qi refining.

"Black gopher, you fucking fart! You dare to slander Lao Tzu after a few days!" the dove-faced monk jumped up.

"Ma Dove, don't think that I'm afraid of you when you refine Qi at the eighth layer, usually you secretly bully us, but today you openly grabbed our land, and you really treated us like rats!" the black gopher gritted his teeth and shot back.

"Presumptuous! You two little heads, this inspector is here, you are still so arrogant, are you abolishing your cultivation, you are willing!" Jiang Xu shouted angrily.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Shi, the disciple doesn't dare!" The black gopher was agitated for a moment, and hurriedly said.

"It's the disciple who is wrong!" said Ma Jiu in a panic.

"Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful, what's going on? I don't think it's just a few small rough stones, right?" Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes, he had been here as a patrol envoy for two years, and he hadn't seen any scenes, as soon as he came here, he felt that something was wrong, as if something big had happened.

The black gopher gritted his teeth, sighed and said, "Uncle Shi, don't hide it, this is not a small rough stone. ”

"It's not the original stone, what is it?" Jiang Xu was stunned.

"Look at this!" the black gopher spread out his palm, and on the palm of his hand, a rough stone the size of an egg was exposed.

"This is a high-grade primordial stone!" Jiang Xu was shocked.

A high-grade rough stone is almost equivalent to ten bags of low-grade rough stones, so it's no wonder they will not hesitate to fight.

Jiang Xu snatched the rough stone and asked hurriedly, "Where did you come from?"

The black gopher is staggering, looking left and right. Jiang Xu immediately comprehended it and yelled at the surrounding miners: "What are you looking at? What is there to be lively and beautiful? Go back to your own area for Lao Tzu, otherwise, each person will be fined fifty spars! You, Ma Dove! Leave for questioning!"

The disciples of the two districts all lowered their heads and walked out of the mine unwillingly.

"Uncle Shi, my disciples dug out of that pit, because of the excessive force, a few rough stones flew into the attached cave of the nineteenth district, as soon as they found out that this was a high-grade rough stone, they swarmed and frantically grabbed our rough stones......" Seeing that everyone had dispersed, the black gopher said angrily.

"Hmph, black gophers, see for yourself, the direction of this mine, whether it leads to our nineteenth district, you dig a little further, and we will reach our territory, can't I stop it? Uncle Shi, you will judge the reasoning!" Ma Jiu sneered.

"Shut up Lao Tzu! This mining area is all Huachen's, what are you fighting for? Is it your private?" Jiang Xu was so angry that he trembled, these two were really bold, and they didn't have any consciousness at all, and they didn't take the interests of Huachenmen in their eyes at all.

"You said that this rough stone was dug out of this attached hole?" Jiang Xu asked, pointing to a one-meter-square round hole ten zhang away from his side.

"Yes, uncle, that's it!" said the black gopher, glancing at the hole with a greedy and reluctant gaze in his eyes.

"Hmm!" Jiang Xu nodded, flashed to the edge of the hole, and his divine sense probed into the hole, and then pondered.

This hole is only one meter square, thirty or forty zhang long, the bluestone inside presents a kind of black jade color, the bluestone has a trace of white thick saliva-like traces, the bluestone is not a whole piece, are palm-sized pebbles, irregularly piled together.

"Huh, what is this white object?" Jiang Xu frowned.

The black gopher was stunned, crawled into the hole, bent his waist, buckled a pebble, and touched it in his hand.

"Uncle Shi, this white thing is a little sticky, oops, it stinks!" shouted the black gopher.

"What?sticky, smelly?" Jiang Xu's eyes shot out a fine light, and with a pop, he wiped out a high-grade magic sword with an inky jade color.

"Uncle Shi, what ......are you doing here?" the black gopher was startled.

"Get out of the way!" Jiang Xu roared, and the aura in the magic sword was great, shooting towards the bottom of the hole.

"Woo!" A cry-like sound came from the ground, and then, with a loud bang, a sharp claw flew out like lightning and hit Jiang Xu's magic sword directly.

I saw the magic sword scream and fly back upside down.

"Damn, monster!" the black gopher crawled out.

However, the sharp claw came unabated, and it plunged into the black gopher's dantian.

"Ahh

"Evil beast!"

Jiang Xu's eyes widened angrily, and with a little magic sword, he frantically injected spiritual power into the sword. The sword of magic slammed and turned around and shot at the claws.

"Whew!" a tooth-sore sound sounded, a little light appeared on the claws, and the high-level magic sword struck the claws, leaving no trace.

These changes, but in the blink of an eye, even the dove who had been standing outside hadn't reacted, and he was still looking stupidly at the hole, not knowing what was going on.

"Bang!" another bang rang out, pebbles splashed, and a behemoth burst out.

The head of a tiger, the body of a bull, the tail of a snake, landed on two limbs, and the other two limbs were waving, one of which was the claw that struck the magic sword.

"Crystal Devouring Beast!" Jiang Xu exclaimed in shock. At the same time, with a wave of both hands, a shield flew out.

Ge's body shook, and suddenly grew to a zhang long, and the shield was in the air, and it also grew a hundred times, and on the black shield, the spiritual light flowed, and it was a few meters in front of Jiang Xu.

The Crystal Eater's anthropomorphic eyes widened, emitting a sharp light that contained contempt, disgrace, and sarcasm. Then, the figure suddenly moved, and an afterimage shot towards Jiang Xu.

"Click!" Fei Ge snapped at the waist.

"Boom!" the shield trembled violently and wailed, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

"No!

Jiang Xu's face instantly turned like ashes, and he hurriedly retreated, and at the same time wiped out a transmission note, muttered quickly, and threw it behind him.

The transmission note beeped, turning into a streamer of light and shooting into the depths of the mine.

Half an hour later, "Ahh......h

A streamer of light shot into the hall of Zhizhuo, and the streamer condensed, revealing the figure of Sikong Xing.

"Huh, Deacon Sikong, why didn't you come uninvited? Could it be that you are also here to say goodbye to the Fifth Elder?" asked Ouyang De, the head of the sect, with a smile.

The fifth elder looked at Sikong Xing, who was a little anxious, with a smile, and said with a smile: "How could I have put this bit of in the eyes of Deacon Sikong, seeing that Deacon Sikong looked anxious, it should be something happened to Tiandu Peak, right?"

Sikong Xingqiang squeezed out a smile and hugged his fists to salute: "I don't know that the five elders are going to retreat and cultivate, Sikong Xing is here to make amends to you, and I also wish the five elders a smooth breakthrough to the middle stage of Jindan!"

"No need to be polite, just say, what's the matter?" the fifth elder nodded and asked.

Sikong Xing's face showed a look of embarrassment.

"What's the matter, there is only the head here, me and Chang Feng, can't you still believe it? Why don't you tell the apprentice to go out, his status is a little lower!" The fifth elder was obviously a little angry.

Ouyang De shook his head and didn't say anything.

Sikong Xing had no choice but to clench his fists and say: "Fifth Elder, Master, it's like this, just now I received a transmission note from Senior Brother Jiang Xu, the inspector of the Peak Crystal Mine, saying that a second-order crystal devouring beast has appeared in the mine, and it has killed one of our mining leaders, and he is also desperately blocking it, but the situation is critical!"

"Oh, the second-order Crystal Devouring Beast is equivalent to the strength of a mid-stage cultivator in the early and middle stages of foundation building, what kind of cultivation does Jiang Xu have?" the fifth elder was slightly stunned, looked at Sikong Xing and asked.

"The middle stage of foundation building!"

"That's enough, with so many disciples and a few heads in the mine cooperating, it shouldn't be a problem to kill the second-order Crystal Devouring Beast. ”

"But Senior Brother Jiang Xu's Divine Soul Lamp had already been extinguished at the same time when I received the transmission note, so I am sure it has fallen!" Sikong Xing shuddered for a moment and replied.

"Uh, falling?" the Fifth Elder and Ouyang De raised their heads almost at the same time, revealing a look of shock.

Ouyang De's face was solemn, he thought for a while, and waved his hand: "Organize people immediately, hurry to Yizhi Peak, go down to the mine to verify, and make clear statistics on the losses!"

When the disciple came, he had already sent an order down in advance, asking each of the four halls to send two monks to form a team and assemble in the Tiandu Palace to stand by. Sikong Xing said in a deep voice.

When the fifth elder heard this, he laughed: "Deacon Sikong is vigorous and resolute, and I appreciate it. In this way, although the apprentice Chang Feng has just advanced to build the foundation, he has studied the way of killing quite deeply, so let him go on a trip on behalf of the Sword Hall, and experience him casually, what do you think?"

Sikong Xing was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you to the five elders for your support! With the guidance of Senior Brother Chang, this time I will definitely be able to catch it!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, nodded at Chang Feng and said, "Senior Brother Chang, it's hard work!"

Chang Feng, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, stood up and was about to throw out the flying magic weapon, when the fifth elder seemed to think of something, and shouted softly: "Wait!"

"What does the master command?" Chang Feng asked.

"Feng'er, as a teacher, I'm about to go into retreat, I won't come out this time without advancing in the middle of the stage, you walk outside, ask all the senior brothers and uncles, don't ruin my reputation. I have a set of magic circles here, which is for the teacher's beloved things back then, called the 'Soul Devouring Ecstasy Array', which can be arranged around the cave when meditating and cultivating, which can prevent the harassment of some Xiao juniors. ”

"Soul Devouring Soul Array?!" Sikong Xing's eyes showed a hint of envy.

"Also, Feng'er, this crystal devouring beast has a high level of intelligence, Shi Dun's skills are very good, the master has dealt with them a lot, I also have a small set of hidden magic circles here, and I will also hand it over to you, this magic circle is stimulated, and the stone escape technique of the crystal devouring beast can be broken, and it is not yet noticed, with this set of magic arrays, the master has killed a third-order crystal devouring beast, hehe!"

"Thank you Master for your kindness!" Chang Feng was full of joy and respectfully accepted the storage bag handed to him by the Fifth Elder.
