(Thanks to "Zhang Liping" for 10,000 rewards, celebrating "Zhang Liping" becoming the first hall master of this book)

The cave where Chu Duan was arranged to live was the one where every Bronze Sword List student arrived here in the past, because it had not been inhabited for too long, and it was covered with dust.

It took a long time for Chu Duan to clean up the cave mansion and make it spotless, and then the ban was activated.

The ban needs to be activated to continuously consume energy, and the source of this energy is the spirit stone, this cave has not been inhabited for the past two years, so naturally the spirit stone will not be wasted to start the ban.

After activating, Chu Duan found that there was a change in a corner of the cave, and when he appeared in the corner, it was a small ban, which had nothing to do with the ban of the cave, and it seemed that it had been open and never closed.

In this small ban, there is a sword order and a note, and the content of the note is that the students of the Sword Mansion must use their own identity sword order to identify themselves in order to obtain the sword order of the town guard in the mining area.

After obtaining the sword order in the mining area, the ban seemed to disappear, but Chu Duan knew that as long as he put the sword order again, the ban would be automatically opened to protect the sword order.

This cave house is not as big as the Yan Kaiming cave house, the area is only about 100 square meters, the height is about seven or eight meters, there is a bed and a table and chairs, there is nothing else, it looks very simple.

No matter how humble the place is, Chu Duan has lived, he doesn't care, and he is not here to enjoy.

Sitting on the bed after cleaning, Chu Duan thought about it.

"As soon as you come here, you will attack me. Maybe this is a normal thing, but Zhao Hongzhi shot very hard, and that sword was obviously intended to seriously injure me, which was not in line with the purpose of dismounting. Chu Duan said secretly, with a deep look in his eyes: "I have never met them, I have never met, if I wasn't sent here by the Sword Mansion, there would be no intersection." No grievances, no hatred. What's more, it's not stupid to be the captain of the squadron and the squadron, and he should be very aware of the consequences of provoking the enemy at will, but he still gives me such a heavy hand. Yan Kaiming didn't stop it, which is worth scrutinizing. ”

Although he was very puzzled, Chu Duan still didn't think of anything in the end. I just feel that Yan Kaiming and Zhao Hongzhi are targeting themselves so much, I am afraid that there is some conspiracy, or some behind-the-scenes mastermind is promoting.

"Since I can't think of it, I just have to cultivate with peace of mind, if there is really any conspiracy, they will definitely have follow-up actions, and there will always be a time to show their feet. Secretly speaking, Chu Duan sat on the bed and cultivated the Tianyuan Sword Qi.

With this cultivation, pure spiritual energy immediately came from all directions and penetrated into the body.

Although the amount of this pure aura could not be compared to that of a heaven-level sword tower. But compared to the Xuan-level Sword Tower, it is not much better, and in terms of purity, it can be comparable to the aura in the Inner Mansion Heaven-level Sword Tower.

Thinking about those sword guards, who have been cultivating in this environment for many years, it is no wonder that Zhao Hongzhi only has the peak cultivation of Qi Transformation, but the purity of his sword qi is infinitely close to that of ordinary Qi Transformation Perfection Swordsmen.

It's a pity. Among the swordsmen here, most of their talents are only eight or nine grades, and even many are tenths, very few can reach seven grades, and there are no more than seven grades.

After some cultivation, Chu Duan couldn't feel the progress of his sword qi cultivation. At this level, it is very difficult to improve, and the key is to persevere.

After getting out of bed, Chu Duan drew his sword and practiced the basic swordsmanship a few times, and then controlled the power to practice the frightening swordsmanship a few times, etc., after all the cultivation was completed, he thought about it for a while, and walked out of the cave.

Since he came to this desolate spirit stone mine, he didn't go to the mining area to take a look, it was a little unreasonable, not to mention that Chu Duan was still a little curious about mining spirit stones.

The news of defeating Zhao Hongzhi had already been reported, and now most of the sword guards in the Border Desolate Spirit Stone Mine had heard Chu Duan's name, only those sword guards who were out patrolling or patrolling in the mine had not yet received the news. ...,

Therefore, Chu Duan quickly inquired about the entrance to the mine cave in the mining area, and not every sword guard was as hostile to Chu Duan as Yan Kaiming and Zhao Hongzhi.

The entrance to the mine cave is not as dark as in the impression, and many bright light beads are hung that look like daylight, and there is a sword guard standing on both sides of the entrance, and he directly intercepts Chu Duan when he sees him coming.

Chu Duan didn't speak, and directly took out the sword order of the mining area.

As sword guards, they would be told about the sword order in the mining area at the beginning, so as soon as they saw the sword order presented by Chu Duan, the two of them thought about it and hurriedly let Chu Duan enter the mine.

"Your Excellency, you have to be careful, if you encounter an adult spirit eater, it is best to leave immediately. One of the sword guards reminded Chu Duan's back.

Chu Duan paused and turned to look, and asked, "What is a Spirit Eater?"

"My lord, the spirit eater beast is a kind of strange beast that devours spirit stones, the strength of the young beast is equivalent to that of the sword qi realm swordsman, and the strength of the adult spirit eater beast is equivalent to the qi realm, which is very powerful. The sword guard quickly explained.

"Thank you. With the slightest doubt, Chu Duan turned around and strode into the mine.

This spirit stone mine is a bit similar to a coal mine, of course, compared to the danger of a coal mine that may collapse, the spirit stone mine is more stable, at least the border barren spirit stone mine has never collapsed.

The left and right sides, as well as the ground above and even beneath the feet, all have traces of artificial excavation, making the passage very wide, almost three meters wide and three meters high.

Chu Duan probably walked out of the front for about a thousand meters, and only felt as if he was constantly walking down, as if he had entered the belly of the mountain and kept going underground.

He didn't care much about this, because the spirit stone mine is usually grown from the ground upwards, and the border barren spirit stone mine has not been mined for so many years, and now it must be mined more and more down.

As he walked, three forks began to appear in front of him, and Chu Duan chose one of them at random to stride forward.

There are many forks in the mine, criss-crossed, but fortunately, there are signs and arrows pointing out the direction on the walls of the forks, so that people can refer to them when they go out, so as not to get lost in the mine.

After a while, Chu Duan's ears heard a dinging sound, and after walking a little further, he saw dozens of workers waving their hoes to mine the spirit stone mine.

It's not that they can mine spirit stones at will, digging with a mine hoe, often breaking the rocks and dirt on the wall, etc., the spirit stone is extremely hard, and a mine hoe can't hurt it at all.

Therefore, once their mine hoe goes down and touches something hard, it is often a spirit stone.

Chu Duan glanced at it, and what surprised him was that these workers who mined spirit stones all had sword qi realm cultivation, at least the fourth stage of the sword qi realm, and the highest was the tenth stage of the sword qi realm.

He had to sigh with emotion, in Kaiyang City, the status of the swordsmen of the tenth stage of the Sword Qi Realm was very high, but here, he could only be a mining worker.

Chu Duan's arrival did not attract anyone's attention, for these miners, the more spirit stone ore they mined, the more they would benefit.

There are so many sentient beings, there are countless swordsmen, and they are just the bottom layer.

The dozens of miners were all men, the youngest in their twenties and the older in their forties.

After watching for a while, when Chu Duan was about to leave, he suddenly heard a boom, as if the wall had collapsed.

Countless dust and smoke billowed out, and dozens of mining workers all retreated, staring closely at the place where the dust and smoke were billowing, and Chu Duan also looked at it at a glance, saw through the dust and smoke, and saw a hole.

It turned out that it was the workers' hoes that opened the mine hole and connected it to the other end.

When the dust and smoke fell silent, dozens of workers, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly a sharp-eyed young man shouted excitedly: "It's a spirit stone, you see, there are a lot of spirit stones in it." ”...,

As he spoke, he was about to rush inside, and if those spirit stones were mined, they could get a lot of dividends if they were handed over.

"Wait. The eldest miner hurriedly grabbed the young man's arm with one hand: "The inside is different from the outside, there is no trace of a hoe, it looks more like it has been gnawed by teeth, and it cannot be entered." ”

"Could it be a spirit eater!" exclaimed another older miner, whose face changed.

"Possibly, don't make a sound, be careful, get out of here first. The eldest miner whispered with a solemn look on his face, urging everyone to leave.

"Wait, Uncle Zhang, if it's a young beast that eats spirit beasts, once we catch it and sell it, it will be worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. A middle-aged man's tone also became excited, and he said, a little eager to try.

"Greed will only kill people, hurry up. "In the memory of the elder known as Uncle Zhang, some of his companions died under the claws of the spirit beast, which was very miserable.

"If you want to go, I'm going to look for the young beasts of the spirit beast, if I find them, I'll be developed. The middle-aged man was occupied by greed and strode inside.

"Ha Lu Ha ......Ha

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and even some people began to move.

At this time, several terrible screams sounded, which was terrifying, and the faces of Uncle Zhang and the others changed greatly, and they turned pale.

"Let's go, go and inform Lord Swordguard. Uncle Zhang and the others hurriedly shouted.

Suddenly, they fled in panic, but Chu Duan saw that they did not run rampant like headless flies when they fled, so that the most frightened ones not only could not escape, but were even injured.

"Young man, hurry up, the strength of the Spirit Eater is very terrifying. When Uncle Zhang rushed past Chu Duan, he hurriedly said out of kindness.

"Thank you. Chu Duan said, and did not turn to leave.

Uncle Zhang also sighed slightly, he didn't listen to the advice, he didn't have any way, he couldn't stay with them and wait for death.

After a while, Uncle Zhang and dozens of other mining workers disappeared without a trace, leaving only Chu Duan alone.

"Spirit Eater Beast ......" With a little curiosity, Chu Duan walked forward. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
