"Gather in the Nine Courts … meet directly …" After taking inventory of the great cultivators' treasure pouches and putting the sleeping heart eating insects into the beast enslavement pouches, Weisuo steered the Phoenix Scale Azure Eagle towards the southwest. Li Xieyi refined the Longevity Pill as he recited the Lieque Waning Moon Scripture.
Weisuo and Old Man In Green Clothes found that after Li Xieyi's mind had become muddled, he had sunk into a strange state that they could not describe. As he refined the pill yao, he focused all of his attention on reciting the scripture. Occasionally, he would even create diagrams. Many times, Weisuo could feel that Li Xieyi's vital energy was flowing in a special cycle. There was only one possibility for this special cycle, he was cultivating a vital energy method! In other words, at times, Li Xieyi would unconsciously cultivate as though it was his instinct. Refining medicinal pills, cultivating, and contemplating other things. If it were any other cultivator doing this, it would be very easy for the Quintessential Essence in their body to go awry, and it would be very easy for them to go berserk. But after his mind became muddled, it was as though his brain had split into several pieces and he was not hindered from doing different things at the same time.
This kind of consciousness division was more than double that of ordinary Jin Dan cultivators. If he could use it against an enemy, then if an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator could control two talismans at the same time, then he should be able to control multiple talismans at the same time.
But now, Li Xieyi seemed to be completely relying on his instincts when facing an enemy. He did not even know how to activate his own spells. Weisuo tried to teach him how to control talismans but he could only control one talisman. Sometimes, he did not know that when the talisman's power decreased, he had to channel his vital energy to activate the talisman's power again. Therefore, it was temporarily impossible to use this strange environment to fight against enemies.
The scriptures of Liao Que Waning Moon were very complex. For six days, Li Xieyi had been thinking and chanting. He had already listed more than thirty sentences, more than six hundred words, and formed two complete pictures. However, the six-hundred-word scripture and the two complete pictures were still like fragments, making it difficult for people to connect them together. It was hard to figure out what was going on and what was going on, making it impossible for people to understand the meaning within.
During these six days, Li Xieyi would occasionally produce fragmented lines and brand new fragmented diagrams that Weisuo had never seen before. Other than the six hundred words and the two diagrams that Li Xieyi had confirmed, the Lieque Waning Moon Scripture still had many pages left.
However, Weisuo was not in a hurry. In these six days, Li Xieyi had refined four Fortune Life Prolonging Pills. The aging presence that seemed like he would die at any moment had completely disappeared. While his hair was still snow-white and his face was still very old, his vitality had become strong and his life was not in danger. If he refined the remaining Fortune Life Prolonging Pills, he should be able to increase his Shouyuan by at least a few decades.
Also, Li Xieyi's recitation of the Lieque Waning Moon Scripture seemed to be getting better and better. It was very likely that he would be able to recite all of the scriptures and diagrams of the Lieque Waning Moon Scripture. Maybe the more he recited, the clearer his memory of the scripture would become. At that time, he would be able to distinguish the order of the scriptures.
Due to the cover of the Phoenix Scale Azure Eagle's presence, Weisuo did not attract any powerful beasts along the way. Even if he encountered some beasts along the way, Weisuo did his best to avoid trouble. If he could use the Dark Fiend Ghost Claw to grab them, he would grab them. If he could not use the Dark Fiend Ghost Claw, he would give up. After six days of travel, Weisuo once again left the sky. Then in the wilderness outside the sky, Weisuo first put away the Phoenix Scale Azure Eagle and then used the spirit light escape method he had obtained from the great cultivator that had participated in the attack to sweep up Li Xieyi.
This spirit light escape method was about the same speed as the one Lin Taixu had used to escape to the Ro3 Northern Spirit City. It was the fastest escape method Weisuo had seen so far. It was even faster than all of Weisuo's flying treasures.
With the speed of this escape method, as long as they did not encounter any special obstacles in less than three days, they would be able to reach their destination, which was the Wild Wasteland that was closest to Zhuji City.
… …
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. In a low mountain range in the wilderness shrouded by the endless night, there was no fire, but the faint sound of metal clashing against rocks could be heard.
This low mountain range was surrounded by hills. The mountains stretched endlessly and were very barren.
This sound came intermittently from this short mountain range. Suddenly, in the distant sky, a purple stream of light appeared. It was like a meteor, flying over at an astonishing speed.
When it was still a few kilometers away from the short mountain range, the purple streak of light suddenly stopped, and two figures appeared.
The two cultivators that appeared in the purple light were Weisuo and Li Xieyi.
Wei Suo's face was also filled with surprise as he looked at the short mountain range not far away.
It turned out that only two days had passed since he started using the Spirit Light Movement Technique. According to his calculations, it would take at least another day and night before he would encounter any cultivators. At this time, this low mountain range was twenty-five thousand miles away from the nearest edge of the sky. It was also night. Usually, very few cultivators would stop here.
However, judging from the faint sounds that could be heard, it was the sound of metal tools cutting and striking the mountain rocks. This sound was completely different from the sound of yao beasts. Additionally, from the sound of it, there was more than one sound of metal tools cutting and striking the mountain rocks. It was likely that there was more than one cultivator there.
"It could be some mine. Cultivators of some sect are gathering ore here." It was night and Old Man In Green Clothes was outside the ghost raising jar. So when Weisuo stopped, Old Man In Green Clothes immediately spoke.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Wei Suo felt that this was the only possibility. His eyes flashed and spiritual light flashed as he rushed toward the source of the sound.
In a moment, Weisuo and Li Xieyi landed on top of a pile of rocks in the mountain range.
In front of the pile of stones, which were as tall as five or six people, was a deep passageway that could only fit one person. From time to time, a faint tinkling sound could be heard.
"It should be cultivators gathering ore here. But if a sect is gathering ore here, they should have set up restrictions to prevent the sound from spreading. Otherwise, it will attract demonic beasts. If it was a roaming cultivator, they would not be able to set up large scale restrictions to block off all the sounds. But roaming cultivators who gathered ore to earn spirit stones would not have high cultivation. How could roaming cultivators of this level come so far to gather ore, especially at night when there are more demonic beasts? Could it be that there's some kind of rare and valuable ore here? "
After looking around, such a thought immediately appeared in Wei Suo's mind.
This was because Wei Suo saw that there were many deep tunnels dug out by people in many places in this mountain range. Moreover, there were many piles of rubble outside the tunnels. It was obvious that they had been cleared out from the tunnels. This feeling was very similar to the purple copper mine outside Lingyue City. The pile of rocks Weisuo and Li Xieyi were in was one of them. The marks on the rocks were very new and clearly had been cleared out recently.
"Hm?"
Just as he was surprised, Weisuo's eyebrows rose. His consciousness felt that there was a cultivator flying out of the passageway ahead.
For Wei Suo, the aura emanating from the cultivator was very weak. It seemed that the cultivator was no higher than level 3 Domain Stage.
After this cultivator appeared in the range of Weisuo's consciousness, three more cultivators appeared in the range of his consciousness. These three cultivators did not have strong presences and were about the same cultivation as the cultivator who had appeared first.
"Let's hide and see the situation first."
Weisuo sent a message to Li Xieyi. Li Xieyi nodded and the two moved quickly to a tree in the distance and hid.
After a dozen or so breaths of time, the pitch-black tunnel entrance flashed with brilliance, and four cultivators rushed out in succession.
Among the four cultivators, there was a short, gray-haired old man. The rest were all young cultivators, no more than forty years old. Just as Wei Suo had sensed earlier, the short, gray-haired old man had the highest cultivation base among the four cultivators. He was only at the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Cycle Realm. As for the other three young cultivators, their cultivation bases were all below the Third Layer of Heavenly Cycle Realm.
These four cultivators all wore different magic robes, and they were all only at the Half-Spirit grade. They looked like standard low-grade rogue cultivators.
After the four cultivators came out, they looked around warily. With their perception, they did not find Weisuo and Li Xieyi hiding hundreds of feet away.
Afterwards, the few cultivators followed the short, white-haired old man and walked towards the other side of the mountain. They stopped at a place where they had dug a shallow pit as if they had already made a mark. Then, each of them took out a magic tool and started to dig down.
Seeing that this did not look like a large sect digging here, Weisuo did not hide. He nodded at Li Xieyi and his figure flashed. He crossed the void and almost instantly appeared near the four cultivators. His consciousness covered the four people. "Are you digging for ore?"
