"Hu!"
The Yuanyang Saber stabbed into the ceiling of the mine. Xiao Chen could vaguely see a blurry figure entering the hole in the wall.
Spirit Swallowing Worm! Xiao Chen immediately understood what was going on. His eyes were not playing tricks on him. Those green eyes were the eyes of a Spirit Swallowing Worm.
When Xiao Chen entered, it craftily entered the hole. When Xiao Chen turned around, it suddenly appeared, wanting to attack him.
Coincidentally, when Mu Xinya saw this, she did not have time to explain and immediately attacked. She wanted to save the unaware Xiao Chen.
Mu Xinya held the other Yuanyang Saber in her right hand and pulled it gently. There was an invisible ripple in the air. The Yuanyang Saber stabbed into the ceiling trembled and flew into Mu Xinya's hand.
"Senior Brother Ye, are you alright?!" Mu Xinya asked Xiao Chen worriedly.
Xiao Chen checked his body and discovered that there was some green liquid on his left arm. It seeped through his clothes and entered his body through the pores of his skin. After that, it quickly merged with his blood.
The blood mixed with the green poison flowed quickly in his body. Not long later, Xiao Chen felt dizzy. This was the effect of being poisoned.
Xiao Chen quickly took out the Detoxification Pill from the Universe Ring and swallowed it. He sat down cross-legged and circulated the Essence in his body, quickly spreading out the medicinal energy of the pill.
The Detoxification Pill that Xiao Chen bought by chance was unexpectedly useful here. The pill quickly dissolved and separated the green liquid from his blood.
After a while, Xiao Chen felt something sweet in his throat. He spat out the green liquid. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and immediately felt much better. The dizziness had already disappeared.
The poison of the Spirit Swallowing Worm was really tyrannical. Just a little bit of it and there were such serious consequences. If he had not prepared the Detoxification Pill, he might have died here.
He got up and looked at the worried Mu Xinya. Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I'm fine, the poison has already been forced out. Thank you!"
When Mu Xinya heard this, she smiled, "It's fine. Let's go then. We still don't know when that bug will come out."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "This is five merit points. Furthermore, it injured me. How could I let it run away so easily?"
Since Xiao Chen knew of the existence of the Spirit Swallowing Worm, there was naturally no reason for him to let it go. As long as he was careful and did not get ambushed, there would be no problems. The Spirit Swallowing Worm was only as strong as a Martial Grand Master.
He spread out his divine sense and extended it into the soil in the mine. He followed the aura left by the Spirit Swallowing Worm and traced it all the way.
My goodness, he actually didn't go far. His divine sense circled around and came back. Xiao Chen looked at the mine above his head and could not help but exclaim in surprise. The Spirit Swallowing Worm was actually hiding above their heads.
Thud! Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and drew the Lunar Shadow Saber. Countless arcs of electricity revolved around the blade of the saber, illuminating the dark mine.
"Pu Ci!"
The resplendent Lunar Shadow Saber stabbed in with a 'shua' sound. There was a 'zi zi' sound coming from the soil. A green liquid flowed down the blade of the saber and flowed down to the hilt.
Xiao Chen knew how powerful it was. He circulated the Essence in his body to the saber and shook it off. He immediately shook off the poisonous liquid and felt something twisting around the saber.
"Trying to run? It's too late!" Xiao Chen smiled coldly and his Essence exploded. The cave above his head instantly exploded and the Spirit Swallowing Worm fell down together with the rocks.
There was a rumbling sound in the mine as rocks fell continuously. The two of them dodged to the side and waited for everything to calm down. Then, they started to chase after the Spirit Swallowing Worm that was dragging its broken body.
When it fell to the ground, this Spirit Swallowing Worm had lost half of its combat prowess. Furthermore, there was the damage that Xiao Chen inflicted on it earlier. Not long after, this Spirit Swallowing Worm was dismembered by the two of them.
After Xiao Chen obtained five contribution points, Mu Xinya asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Ye, how did you find it?"
Naturally, Xiao Chen could not tell Mu Xinya the real reason. He made up a random reason and dug out the Spirit Core of the Spirit Swallowing Worm.
Because it had been consuming Spirit Stone raw ores for a long time, the surface of the Spirit Swallowing Worm's Spirit Core was very smooth. The Spiritual Energy it contained was comparable to that of a Rank 5 Spirit Beast.
Xiao Chen put away the Spirit Swallowing Worm's Spirit Core and smiled, "I have obtained five contribution points. We will split it equally."
Mu Xinya smiled gently, "You take 30 and I take 20. Contribution points are useless to me."
Contribution points are useless to you? Xiao Chen looked at Mu Xinya with some doubt. If contribution points are useless, then why did you accept this mission?
Mu Xinya seemed to realize that she had said something wrong. She smiled, "Don't misunderstand. I was saying that a few contribution points are useless to me. You were the one who discovered the Spirit Swallowing Worm. I will just take two contribution points."
So that's how it is. Xiao Chen smiled and did not pursue this topic. The two of them left the mine and started to patrol the area according to the map.
After that, everything was calm; nothing big happened. Along the way, they discovered a few Spirit Swallowing Worms. Unfortunately, they were too smart; they burrowed into the ground and ran far away.
When it was late at night, the miners started to rest. Xiao Chen and Mu Xinya's work came to an end. Xiao Chen made a trip to Ye Wen's place to inform him of what happened today.
After handing over the Spirit Swallowing Worm's Spirit Core to Ye Wen and recording it down, he could go to the Hall of Contributions to collect contribution points. Nothing happened along the way. Xiao Chen thought for a while and was not in a rush to return to the stone room to rest.
In a dead tunnel, he found a rather spacious area. Xiao Chen drew his Lunar Shadow Saber and started to practice his Saber Techniques. Although he could not absorb Spiritual Energy to cultivate here, he could not neglect his Saber Techniques.
Xiao Chen first practiced the eight movements of the saber for two hours. He stabilized the Basic Saber Techniques that he had reached Small Perfection. Then, he started to practice the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique and the Three Flowing Cloud Images that he had already learned.
After four hours, he finished warming up. Xiao Chen rested for a while before he started to practice the Clear Wind Chop. He had already memorized the circulation path of the Clear Wind Chop the night before.
At this moment, he slowly executed it. The saber danced in the air, instantly creating a cool breeze. The saber danced up and down in the cool breeze.
Xiao Chen practiced tirelessly. He executed the Clear Wind Chop hundreds of times, completely exhausting the Essence in his body. However, he could not figure out the trick to it.
Not to mention being like Liu Ruyue and Ye Wen, who were able to hide their sabers in the cool breeze, he could not even hide his killing Qi. He could only create a cool breeze.
He was far from reaching the state where he could only see the cool breeze and not the saber. Where did I go wrong? Xiao Chen sat on the ground and thought hard about the logic behind it.
There was a saying, "The master leads the way, but the cultivation depends on the individual". Liu Ruyue could only tell him some of the essence of the Clear Wind Chop to prevent him from taking the wrong path. As for how to comprehend it, that would depend on Xiao Chen's own hard work.
Even if others told him and allowed him to reach Small Perfection, he would not be able to comprehend it himself. He would not be able to master the Martial Technique and would never be able to cultivate it to Great Perfection.
Xiao Chen did not dare to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Energy. He took out an Inferior Grade Spirit Stone from the Universe Ring and absorbed the energy in the Spirit Stone. Xiao Chen's body was instantly filled with Essence.
Xiao Chen got up and continued practicing the Clear Wind Chop. Immediately, a cool breeze blew in the mine. As Xiao Chen increased his speed, the wind became even faster.
Within this strong wind, Xiao Chen's mind was calm. Suddenly, he had an idea. He executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art in his body. Amidst the roaring wind, he soared up like a flood dragon.
The Clear Wind Chop was originally a Secret Technique; it did not have a Movement Technique to complement it. When it was used, it depended on the user's coordination. It could not be used while moving at high speeds.
However, this Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art was surprisingly compatible with the Clear Wind Chop. It was only the first time they worked together and Xiao Chen successfully executed the Clear Wind Chop in midair.
Xiao Chen's face lit up with joy. It was as though he had discovered a new continent. He executed the Clear Wind Chop as he retreated quickly. He executed the Clear Wind Chop as he somersaulted. He executed the Clear Wind Chop as he spun. Instantly, he executed the Clear Wind Chop from different angles.
Using a Secret Technique and a Heaven Ranked Movement Technique at the same time exhausted more Essence than Xiao Chen had imagined. This time, Xiao Chen only managed to execute about twenty strikes before his Essence was completely exhausted.
Although the Clear Wind Chop had not reached Small Perfection and was still unable to hide his killing Qi, Xiao Chen discovered that it could be used with the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art. Thus, he was not too disappointed.
After resting for a while, Xiao Chen did not continue practicing. If he just practiced bitterly without thinking, even if he practiced for a hundred years, there would not be any improvement.
Furthermore, the environment in the mine was not suitable for bitter cultivation. If he relied on Spirit Stones to replenish his Essence, it would weaken his sensitivity to the Spiritual Energy in the surroundings.
Hiding his killing Qi was the first step to succeeding in the Clear Wind Chop. Xiao Chen was currently thinking about this problem. How could he hide his killing Qi in the unfathomable cool breeze?
When Xiao Chen returned to the stone room, he was surprised to discover that Mu Xinya was not on the stone bed. Could it be that she went to practice the saber like me? Why is she not back yet?
Xiao Chen thought doubtfully. Never mind, I should not care about this. I should just take care of my own matters. Xiao Chen entered the bathroom and soaked comfortably in the pool for a long time before he came out.
The next morning, Xiao Chen woke up from his deep sleep. He discovered that Mu Xinya had already finished washing up and was waiting for him to go out on patrol.
"Senior Brother Ye, where did you go last night? It has been a long time since you came back," Mu Xinya said to Xiao Chen with a smile as the two of them went out.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was stunned. He did not expect Mu Xinya to take the initiative to ask this question. He smiled and said, "I am not used to sleeping so early, so I went out to practice the saber."
Mu Xinya smiled and said, "Let's go. Since I fought alongside you today, I can take a look at the Martial Techniques you have been practicing bitterly."
Xiao Chen smiled and did not say anything. The boring and dry patrol began once again. The two of them had already patrolled the area once yesterday. When they went out again today, they were very familiar with the place; they were not as unfamiliar as yesterday.
The first batch of miners they met was still the group led by Supervisor Li. When Supervisor Li saw the two of them, he wanted to come over and greet them. Xiao Chen waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
