"Plus twenty thousand low-grade immortal crystals. Don't tell me you haven't saved up that much," the Lotus Clone said.
"Twenty thousand low-grade immortal crystals? You really dare to ask for that, Fellow Daoist Nameless." Tu Xingyun's expression suddenly turned ugly. Although he controlled three mines, the immortal crystals produced from them were not low. Just from the number of mines, it was already comparable to the mines controlled by Lu Xiaotian's original body. However, the actual output could not be judged by quantity alone.
Every mine would more or less have some problems during the mining process. Tu Xingyun's problem-solving ability was naturally far from being comparable to Lu Xiaotian's original body. As a result, the efficiency of the entire mining process was undoubtedly delayed by a lot.
Moreover, the proportion of immortal crystals that Tu Xingyun intercepted was far less than Lu Xiaotian's. The key was the status of both sides in their respective Immortal Sect. Lu Xiaotian was already an Elder. Although his strength had not reached the level of a True Immortal, as a Pill Saint, Tu Xingyun naturally could not compare to him. No matter how bold Tu Xingyun was, he did not dare to go too far.
During this period of time, he had intercepted less than thirty thousand low-grade immortal crystals. Even so, for Tu Xingyun, it was a windfall. Most True Immortals with lower strength rarely had more than ten thousand immortal crystals. This was also the reason why so many Immortal Sect's had come to excavate the immortal crystal vein in the Illusory Fog Swamp.
Even in the Illusory Fog Swamp, conflicts had broken out between Immortal Sect's because of the immortal crystal vein, causing a large number of cultivators to die here. This kind of conflict had become a huge whirlpool, but these Immortal Sect's continued to advance. The key was that after obtaining enough resources, an Immortal Sect's strength could rapidly rise.
With so many sects in this area, the previous balance of power was bound to be broken as some Immortal Sects obtained enough resources. Who would be willing to submit to others and live under their nose?
Even if this place had become a whirlpool of flesh and blood, it still attracted more and more Immortal Sects to join in.
"It's fine if you don't want to." The Lotus Clone didn't even bat an eyelid.
"I have less than 30,000 Immortal Crystals, so I can only give you 10,000 first. If Fellow Wu Ming helps me guard the other mine, I will give you another 5,000! "The situation was critical, and Tu Xingyun did not have enough time to bargain with the Lotus Avatar.
Even though he had lost quite a bit of money, as long as he repelled the Ice Scorpions, the mine would still be there. He could still earn back the money he had lost. However, if the losses were too heavy, not only would they be blamed by the Sect, Leiyinxianzong could also send a few other disciples with similar strength to take charge. If they lost control of the mine, they wouldn't have the chance to reap any benefits in the future.
"Deal." The lotus clone smiled.
Tu Xingyun reluctantly handed over the benefits and the Fire Tide True Thunder to the Lotus Avatar. The Lotus Avatar did not procrastinate. After keeping the items, it stood up and left with Tu Xingyun. The number of Ice Scorpions was huge. Even though the Immortal Frost Sect had the geographical advantage and could defend against the Ice Scorpions, there were some relatively dangerous terrain that could not be used. As long as there were no problems in the other two mines, they could retreat to the mine and use the natural advantage of the mine. The Ice Scorpions would not be able to display their advantage in numbers for a while. Only then would there be a possibility of defending.
Even if the Ice Scorpions could burrow underground, the stone and soil in the mine was extremely hard. The cost of burrowing underground would be much higher, and so many cultivators were not to be trifled with.
This Immortal Stronghold was not good for defense. The group quickly retreated to their respective mines according to the route.
Zhao Xiuyuan was still assigned to this side. Even though he was somewhat dissatisfied, Tu Xingyun was the person in charge of this Immortal Stronghold. He could not object when he was assigned a task. However, at least they had the Lotus Clone as a sword cultivator. Even though Zhao Xiuyuan had not personally seen the Lotus Clone in action. He had heard some powerful rumors about it. It was said that it had already defeated a few Immortal experts. As for Tu Xingyun saying that their strength was on par, Zhao Xiuyuan did not quite believe it.
There were certain restrictions in the mine itself. Even though the terrain of the mine and the limited time that Leiyinxianzong's people could enter the mine, they could not set up any powerful Immortal Sect Dharma Formations. However, against these Ice Scorpions, they could still be of considerable use.
Ice Scorpions were constantly blocked by the restrictions and died under them. There were too many Ice Scorpions surging forward. When the restrictions were almost exhausted, the cultivators at the back would take turns to charge forward under the lead of the Immortals, creating time for the greatly exhausted restrictions to recover.
The Ice Scorpions emitted a mist from their bodies. They were squeezed in the mine tunnel that was less than a hundred feet wide to a hundred feet wide. Under the cover of the mist, one could only see a patch of mist from afar.
As a result, the killing intent hidden under the fog was even more terrifying.
Even in the Illusory Fog Swamp, the majority of the monsters had reached the Immortal level, while the majority were still below it. Like Lu Xiaotian and Fairy Yunxia, when they encountered a large group of wolf riders, they were still trapped in a relatively narrow space.
Although there was dense fog outside, under the impact of the ice and vicious gold aura, the originally quite powerful restrictions that even True Immortals had to tread carefully had weakened greatly, allowing large groups of people to enter one after another. However, the deeper they went, the greater the danger in front of everyone.
For example, the people in Leiyinxianzong's mine in front of them.
The sound of Ice Scorpions being killed constantly rang out, as well as the miserable screams of cultivators. The dozen or so Immortals and cultivators in the mine took turns to defend. Each of them was responsible for a relatively narrow area. At first, it wasn't too difficult to deal with, as the number of Ice Scorpions was inexhaustible.
Under wave after wave of attacks, the Immortals and cultivators died one after another. Zhao Xiuyuan's defenses were broken by a vicious Ice Scorpion, and its stinger nailed his ankle. Although he blocked it with his Immortal Essence in time, his calf was now extremely cold and numb. Seeing that the Lotus Clone was still only responsible for commanding from behind, Zhao Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel angry. Although the other party was sent by Tu Xingyun to take charge, until now it hadn't used any strength at all, and had been watching from the side. This was a bit too much.
While Zhao Xiuyuan was in a daze, a thick scorpion tail suddenly lashed out like lightning. The speed of their arrival was simply beyond the limits of what an Immortal could achieve.
At this time, Zhao Xiuyuan couldn't even see the vicious Ice Scorpion's body. In a hurry, two cross-shaped blades suddenly flew out from Zhao Xiuyuan's body, crisscrossing towards the Ice Scorpion's tail. With a crack, the incomparably fierce Ice Tail Scorpion couldn't withstand much force and directly shattered.
Zhao Xiuyuan's expression changed greatly, and at the same time, an almost imperceptible fluctuation hidden in the fog in the void once again pierced towards Zhao Xiuyuan's dantian.
