Yulin was wearing a white gauze skirt, and her face was covered with a light veil, revealing only her eyebrows and charming eyes, which caused the two brothers Zhao Yufeng and Zhao Jia to look back again and again.

In addition to Yu Lin's faint beauty, what surprised Zhao Yufeng and the two brothers even more was that Yu Lin was actually a seventh-level warrior cultivator, far exceeding their previous expectations.

If it weren't for the hole cards in hand, I was afraid that the two brothers would turn their faces on the spot.

"In front of us is a land of mountains and forests, and there are many flying monsters in the air, and we will be attacked by them in the air, so the flying array cannot pass through. ”

Zhao Jia pointed to the misty mountain forest in front of him and said, "After passing through the mountain forest, there is an abandoned spirit stone mine cave, and the Jade Pivot Beast is hiding in it. ”

Li Xuan looked at the mountains and forests shrouded in layers of clouds and mist, and there were many flying demon beasts living in the forest, and his brows furrowed slightly, "In such an inaccessible place, how could the two of them happen to pass by and find the Jade Pivot Beast, and sure enough, the situation is hidden." ”

Before entering the mountain forest, the four of them took the Breath Pills they had prepared in advance, and then slowly walked inside.

This mountain and forest fog is confused, with the soul power of the warrior realm, it is impossible to detect a few feet, if you fly with the sword in this place, once you are attacked by flying demon beasts and so on, you can't react at all and fall into passivity.

"I've been here last time, so I'm familiar with the road, so just follow me, and twenty miles ahead is the abandoned spirit stone mine. ”

Zhao Yufeng walked at the front to lead the way, followed by Zhao Jia, and Li Xuan walked at the end of the team.

Yulin was in front of Li Xuan, her beautiful eyes rolling, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The deeper you go into the mountains and forests, the heavier the fog becomes, the darker the light becomes, and the roar of monsters is heard around, and the sound is near and far.

Along the way, the four of them were alert, but they did not encounter any accidents, which was relatively smooth.

"Not far ahead, there is the Spirit Stone Mine Cave, and everyone has gathered their breath. ”

Zhao Yufeng turned his head to remind Li Xuan and Yulin that several of them used their own means to hide their aura.

The road beneath his feet gradually became less slippery and became dryer, and the clouds and mist in front of him slowly dispersed, revealing the mountainous terrain in front of him and the entrance to a ruined spirit stone mine.

The four of them walked around the Lingshi Mine to confirm that there was no suspicious situation, and then turned back to the entrance of the cave.

Outside the entrance of the mine cave were scattered rocks, as well as several dilapidated houses, many broken formation materials were scattered around, and a zigzag road stretched into the depths of the mine, and abandoned items could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road.

"The Jade Pivot Beast is in the depths of the mine, and we will set up a formation outside the Jadepivot Beast's Cave and at several nearby intersections, and then lure it out. ”

Zhao Yufeng took out a map of the mine and showed Li Xuan and the others the directions.

The map depicts in more detail the distribution of the road from the first half of the mine to the Yushu Beast's Cave, and further inside, the instructions are just roughly drawing an outline.

"Let's go!"

The figures of the four gradually disappeared into the mine.

Outside the entrance to the mine, where the four had been staying, a figure with a vague outline disappeared again, leaving only a strange laugh with a strange sound.

Li Xuan and the four of them went deep along the mine, and the surrounding cave walls were full of uneven excavation marks, and they occasionally encountered some broken white bones along the way, and the light was dim, which looked extremely gloomy.

"This spiritual stone vein has been abandoned for decades, and the excavation of the spiritual stone has caused a great change in the underground spiritual vein, and the environment within a radius of dozens of miles has changed greatly. ”

Walking on the road, Zhao Yufeng whispered about the past of this ore vein, and found a topic to chat with Li Xuan and Yulin, so as not to make the atmosphere too dull.

Li Xuan listened silently, didn't say much, but muttered in his heart.

"This is just a small spirit stone mine, enough to produce more than 100,000 low-grade spirit stones a year, and the resources of a medium-sized or large spirit stone mine are even more terrifying?"

"In addition, those medium-sized mines and large mines are all in the hands of those big sects, with sufficient resources and outstanding disciples, the big sects will only get stronger and stronger, and the scattered cultivation and small sects can only survive in the cracks. ”

Li Xuan's heart was full of thoughts, his face was still indifferent, and the golden mask looked so dazzling in this mine.

"Spirit stones are all excavated by manpower and are not too slow, why not use cultivators?"

Yu Lin asked Li Xuan suspiciously.

Zhao Yufeng turned his head, glanced at Yulin in a little surprise, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is a small sect that has never seen the world, and I don't even know this." ”

Secretly muttering in his heart, Zhao Yufeng's tone was not half different, and before Li Xuan could speak, he continued to explain: "If you use true qi energy to mine, it will affect the quality of the spirit stone, so mining spirit stone has always been physical work and hard work. ”

The rock layers associated with spirit stones are often as hard as iron, and they cannot be mined by ordinary mortals.

The miners of the Spirit Stone Cave, except for hiring casual cultivators, were enslaved monks, and they were forbidden to cultivate to work as coolies trapped here.

In order to ensure the maximum profits, the mine owners often used these people to the death, and many monks were banned from cultivating for a long time, and the cultivation gradually fell and eventually became invalid.

"The Spirit Stone Mine Cave is often listed as the darkest place in the cultivation world, and I don't know how many monks have died unjustly here. ”

Zhao Yufeng seemed to be very familiar with the Lingshi Mine Cave, and the more he talked about it, the more energetic he became.

After listening to what Zhao Yufeng said, Yulin had goosebumps.

Then swept the scattered white bones among the surrounding rocks, but he couldn't tell whether the demon beast was a human bone, and he felt that the air was cold.

Hearing this, although Li Xuan didn't nod, he didn't shake his head either, why did he never mention the spirit stone, because the spirit stone was mined by a loser.

When he was in the Far East, he didn't have much contact with spirit stones, just relying on the system, killing demon beasts and demon beasts, and enemy cultivation was enough to cultivate to skyrocket, and the spirit stone was dispensable for that time.

And when he was in the land of extreme soldiers, his cultivation was sealed, and he re-cultivated, the quality of the true qi in the dantian became stronger and stronger, and coupled with the punishment of halving the experience points, the spirit stone also had a great effect on him.

It wasn't until he came to the Land of Vientiane that the difficulty of improving his cultivation had doubled again, and he, who needed a large amount of heaven and earth aura, also began to urgently need cultivation resources before he could raise a big household like him.

Moreover, in this land of Vientiane, the spirit stone can also be said to be a hard currency, because this is a region where there are thousands of sects, and it is not uncommon for there to be a fight between the sects, causing large-scale wars, and those big sects are not uncommon after destroying the other party's sects, those captured monks, except for those who are talented and willing to become the other party's dogs, will be accepted, and the others will either be banned from cultivating, as miners, or directly killed.

Although it is said in a general way, this region of ten thousand sects is even darker than imagined.

On the other hand, Yulin seems to have lost the face of Xuanmen because of her ignorance, and she lowered her eyebrows.

"This cave spirit stone has been wiped out, but the mountain of waste ore contains a large amount of jade and spiritual energy that has not become a spirit stone, no wonder the jade pivot beast has a home here. ”

Li Xuan pulled the topic away and gave Yu Lin an indifferent look, which quickly made her regain her composure.

"Half a mile away is the Jade Shu Beast Cave, let's start the formation from here. ”

Zhao Yufeng raised a gesture and motioned for Li Xuan and the others to stop.

Li Xuan took out the array flag and activated the formation that had been prepared on the array disk in advance, surrounded by true qi, and soon a golden light flashed trapped formation took shape.

The gold control array, the gold system is trapped.

Within the range of the formation, a golden wall prison will be formed to restrict the target's movement.

As the trapped time passes, the cage will gradually shrink.

"The array flag must be put away, so that it will not be regarded as an enemy in the magic circle. ”

Li Xuan emphasized in a deep voice, and the four of them were holding a formation flag in their hands, tattooed with a golden glittering cage pattern.

Arrange the first financial control array.

The four of them gathered their breath and carefully moved towards the Yushu Beast's Cave, striving to lay a net around the Beast's Cave.

The closer you get to the Jade Pivot Beast's Cave, the pungent smell that fills the air becomes heavier and heavier, and the waste ore accumulated in the mine tunnel is covered with a layer of green liquid.

Li Xuan and the four of them restrained their breath, and every step they took had to see where they landed, if they were stained with a little bit of green liquid.

It is very likely that the Jade Pivot Beast will find an abnormality, so it can only restrain its breath and move forward slowly.

"After this, bypass the front of the Yushu Beast's Cave, and set up a second golden control array at the other end of this road, and everyone will follow. ”

Zhao Yufeng said to the three of them, frowning and not daring to be careless.

Li Xuan's expression was calm, and he carefully distinguished the roar of the beast coming out of the Jade Pivot Beast.

"Inside is indeed a jade pivot beast, judging from the breath coming out, its strength is equivalent to the early stage of the war division. ”

The spirit of the demon beast of this level is not fully opened, and it is not the opponent of a human monk who is good at using formations, combat weapons, and stratagems, so it is often killed by the siege and the overstepping.

Just as Li Xuan and the four of them were arranging the formation, outside the Spirit Stone Mine Cave.

The strange figure from before reappeared, and the face of a monk with sinister eyebrows and rat eyes gradually became clear.

The monk was small but agile, grinning with a pair of front teeth and signaling to the back.

Several figures walked out of the hazy white mist, and one of them was surrounded by a young man in a cyan brocade robe, who was the leader of several people.

"Mouse, Zhao Yufeng led people here?"

The young man in the brocade robe moved his eyelids slightly, looking at the monk in front of him, his eyelids moved slightly.

The monk who was called a mouse smiled, his figure blurred into a few afterimages, and instantly appeared next to the brocade-robed young man, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the mouse, I am following and following according to your instructions from Young Master Zhao Xu, so naturally there will be no mistakes." ”

"Bastard, stinky rats, get away, can you get close to Young Master Zhao Xu?"

Beside the brocade-robed young man was a big man with thick eyebrows, and a burst of water vapor floated on the surface of his strong muscles, and he scolded angrily at the mouse.

This brocade-robed young man has a blue jade plaque on his waist, which is the eldest son of the Zhao family named Zhao Xu, the half-brother of Zhao Yufeng and Zhao Jia, and the eighth-level cultivator of the warrior.

According to the rules of the Zhao family, the eldest son of the heir inherits the qualification of the next generation of family heads, and naturally enjoys more resources, and it is normal for him to cultivate stronger.
