Xue Zang glanced around and nodded slightly.
"Do you know how they died?" Xiatian asked.
"I don't know. I heard they died while training outside. Some died while pursuing their limits, but this is rarely discussed. It's a taboo in the sect," Xue Zang explained.
The death of a second generation disciple.
If this matter was discussed, it would definitely be a big deal.
As a result, the Burning Sky Sect sealed off the news to avoid public opinion.
Some said they died while searching for treasures, while others said they died from the backlash when refining artifacts.
These two excuses were easier for outsiders to accept.
"Do you suspect how they died?" Xiatian asked Xue Zang.
"No. Do you suspect the death of a second generation disciple?" Xue Zang asked in confusion.
"I just feel that this place is too quiet. It doesn't seem like the liveliness a sect should have," Xiatian said.
"That's true. But now that we've all become second generation disciples, we all know that one of us will definitely inherit the ancestor's legacy. That's why we're all waiting. We didn't have the chance before, so we naturally didn't think too much about it. We all just wanted to learn something so that we could do whatever we wanted on the Tian Yuan Continent. But now that we've all become second generation disciples, we're getting closer to becoming the ancestor's direct disciple. At that time, we'll obviously strive for this goal," said Xue Zang.
"How long has the ancestor lived? After so many years, there hasn't been a single second generation disciple who has stood out. That's a little strange, "Xiatian said.
"I don't know about that," said Xue Zang.
After chatting with Xue Zang, Xiatian returned to his courtyard.
He felt that the atmosphere in the Burning Sky Sect was very strange.
It didn't seem like a sect at all.
It had been like this ever since they entered the mountain.
A proper sect could be controlled by a single disciple, who could kill as he pleased. They even purposely sent their disciples out to kill. In the end, only two people survived, but they didn't care about it at all. After entering the circle of second generation disciples, the atmosphere became even stranger.
Xiatian made up his mind.
He wanted to go to the ninth floor!
Although he knew it was very dangerous, he still had to go up.
He discovered that even if he became a second generation disciple, he still wouldn't be able to touch Ou Zhizi. This was because those who had stayed here for more than ten thousand years didn't have any interaction with Ou Zhizi. Besides watching Ou Zhizi refine tools, they almost never talked to her.
Even if Xiatian stayed here for tens of thousands of years, it would still be useless.
Therefore, he decided to go up the mountain to have a look.
Of course, if they went up the mountain, Xiatian might be exposed.
Therefore, he had to be very careful.
He came here to investigate Ou Zhizi, so he had no way out.
"Fight!!" Xiatian gritted his teeth.
This was the mission given to him by Bai Xiaosheng. He had to complete it no matter what.
Dig a hole!
Xiatian still used the most ancient method.
If he went up openly, he would probably be dead for sure, because even second generation disciples were not allowed to enter the ninth level.
Start digging!
Xiatian dug very carefully.
Because Ou Zhizi was a red level expert, a top red level expert, he couldn't be careless. This kind of thing didn't allow him to be careless.
X-Ray vision!
Xiatian's x-ray vision was always open.
His x-ray vision could see the outside through the stone wall.
As for his divine sense, Xiatian didn't dare to open it. Although he was very confident in his divine sense, when facing a top expert like Ou Zhizi, Xiatian felt that it was better to be careful. As long as the other party found the slightest clue, then things would be bad. At that time, Ou Zhizi would definitely kill Xiatian.
The passage that could be dug in half an hour, Xiatian dug for a full day and night.
Finally, he reached the ninth floor.
When he reached the ninth floor, Xiatian was still hiding in the stone wall. He didn't go out.
Now he could rely on his x-ray vision to see the outside situation, but the people outside certainly couldn't see him.
"F * ck, what is this floor?" Xiatian's brows wrinkled. He originally thought that this would be a refining paradise, but when he came here, he found that there was nothing related to refining here. It was all medicinal herbs, all kinds of medicinal herbs, and monster beast corpses.
Originally, everyone should think that this was a refining paradise, but it turned out to be like this.
Burning Heaven Sect's most sacred place had become like this.
Tianyuan Continent's number one refining master, Ou Zhizi, was not refining, but making medicinal herbs here.
Did he want to learn alchemy?
But now this alchemy method was too strange.
Xiatian was also an alchemist, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't understand what this place had to do with alchemy.
This was because an alchemist would definitely have their own habits and habits.
He would put the things he was used to.
But the materials here were very strict.
Every material was not messed up.
"Huh?" At this moment, Xiatian looked outside and saw a familiar figure.
A sect master!
Among the second generation candidates, the first sect master to be eliminated.
He actually appeared here.
At this moment, he was getting all kinds of medicinal herbs, and he was very careful. After taking the medicinal herbs in front of Xiatian, he continued to walk forward.
Gradually, he disappeared from Xiatian's field of vision.
"No, this is definitely not alchemy!" The more Xiatian looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. His gaze swept around. The ninth floor was very big. He began to dig horizontally. He just wanted to see what was here.
Digging horizontally, his eyes kept looking outside.
He wanted to see where the Sect Leader of the First Sect had gone.
The ninth floor of this mountain was a horizontal platform, so as long as Xiatian continued to dig horizontally, he would be able to see the entire ninth floor bit by bit.
Be careful!
Although Xiatian wanted to rush over to see what the sect master was doing, he still remained careful.
Because this was the ninth floor.
He didn't know if Ou Zhizi would suddenly appear nearby.
If he appeared, then he would be in trouble.
So he still had to be careful.
Xiatian's movements were very smooth. He looked forward, his left hand absorbed the stones, and his right hand kept digging forward.
"Huh?" Just as Xiatian was digging forward, he suddenly felt that the feeling of the golden knife cutting into something was different.
It was like cutting meat with a kitchen knife and cutting tofu with a different feeling.
When he turned his head to look, he was shocked.
