"It's strange that someone would come at this time." Chi Qing stood with his hands behind his back. Although he was young, his two white eyebrows were very eye-catching. Although he was a Qi Condensation cultivator like the other cultivators, his aura was clearly more imposing than the others.
"It's quite strange. He looks like a Qi Condensation middle stage kid." A young female cultivator next to him smiled sweetly. "But you should still worry about yourself. Master specifically told me to come and see your cultivation progress. If you can't get a good ranking in the sect's small competition, your chances of reaching Foundation Establishment in the future won't be high. Why do you have to do this? Go back and apologize to Master. Don't tell me you want to be in a deadlock with Master for the rest of your life? "
"Young people have their own arrogance. If I bow my head so easily, even if I barely reach Foundation Establishment, I will stop here for the rest of my life. "Chi Qing shook his head.
"Forget it. I know I can't persuade you, but I still have some hope before coming. How is your cultivation of the Fire Leaving Bead? Do you need help? "The young female cultivator shrugged.
Chi Qing hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "En, I still need two Blazing Flame Soul Stones as the main material. Go back and tell my father."
"Then I can go back and explain to Master." The young female cultivator sighed in relief. Although Chi Qing was arrogant, he didn't seem to be a stubborn person.
The spirit crane let out a clear cry and began to descend. Perhaps it was because it had finally reached its destination after a long flight, but the spirit crane also felt a sense of relief.
Over a hundred Qi Condensation cultivators were guarding the vicinity of the Blackwater Stronghold's mine. In fact, apart from a portion of the patrol team, most of them were busy with their own matters. Some were cultivating, some were even refining pills in the open.
As soon as the spirit crane landed, a late stage Qi Condensation cultivator stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
"Green Lotus Peak Region's new disciple, Lu Xiaotian. I took on a mining job. "Lu Xiaotian handed over his disciple's spiritual wood token.
"Another newbie who has never suffered before. Old Ma, how about we make a bet? Can this fellow last for three days or five days?" The black-robed cultivator who was concocting pills raised his head and chuckled.
"Who knows? Maybe one or two days," replied Old Ma, the cultivator in charge of interrogating Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian was speechless for a while. Being teased by two late stage Aura Refining cultivators, he had nothing to say. Not to mention these two, even Luo Kang, who was quite familiar with him in the chores shop, didn't think he could hold on for long.
"Are the two of you very free?" Chi Qing walked over leisurely.
"Senior Brother Chi!" The faces of the two who were teasing him suddenly tightened and became serious.
"Senior Brothers, when can I enter the mine?" Lu Xiaotian cupped his hands and asked.
"There's no need to be impatient. I believe that the Servant Hall has already informed you. All the spirit stones in the mine belonged to the sect and were distributed according to one's work. Don't try any tricks. Before you, there were already a few fellows who didn't believe in heresy who had their cultivation crippled and were expelled from the palace. "Chi Qing threw a storage pouch to Lu Xiaotian.
"Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother. Lu Xiaotian cupped his hands and said.
"It's good that you know. Go on in." Chi Qing nodded.
Lu Xiaotian took the storage pouch and entered the mine. Luo Kang had already told him everything he needed to hear, so there was no need for him to be teased by a few older cultivators. However, this white browed young cultivator gave him a good feeling.
What Lu Xiaotian didn't know was that not long after he entered the mine, Yu Bao also arrived on a Spirit Eagle.
"It's strange today. Usually, I don't see a single disciple enter the mine for a long time, but today there are two. Could there be some kind of trick? "The Pill Refining cultivator who had teased Lu Xiaotian before couldn't help but gossip. While he was puzzled, Yu Bao also entered the mine.
"This is really bad. This mine is a mess. Where am I supposed to find Lu Xiaotian?"
Yu Bao entered the mine. Although the mine was dark, using the Spirit Eye Technique didn't affect his vision. Moreover, in the mine, there was a Night Stone placed on the stone wall, emitting a faint light. Just from where he was standing, there were already several mine tunnels in front of him. After walking for a while, several more branches appeared.
"I'm afraid that only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a powerful Spiritual Sense would be able to find him." Yu Bao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this time, Lu Xiaotian was very satisfied with the current environment in the mine. It wasn't that he felt comfortable in the mine, but in this complex environment, it was extremely difficult for others to find him. It seemed that he wouldn't have to worry about being threatened for a long time.
The mine tunnels were very deep, and there were forks in the road. In order to avoid getting lost, every time he walked a certain distance, Lu Xiaotian would manually make a map.
Because the Black Water Stockade's mine had been mined for a long time, he walked for more than half an hour without encountering a single Spirit Stone.
"Huh? A few low-grade Metal Spirit Stones." After a few more forks in the road, Lu Xiaotian found a few spirit stones embedded in a pile of rocks that exuded a sharp aura of gold. His face immediately lit up. However, where Metal Spirit Stones appeared, the rocks were usually extremely hard. It would take a lot of effort to dig them out.
Lu Xiaotian took out a pickaxe from his storage pouch and walked towards the Metal Spirit Stones.
"Whoosh whoosh …" The sound of sharp weapons piercing through the air could be heard. The force was so great that it made one speechless.
The pickaxes formed a triangle and pierced towards Lu Xiaotian's vitals.
However, when the pickaxes pierced Lu Xiaotian's body, they didn't penetrate his flesh or break his bones. Instead, the pickaxes passed through the black shadow and directly hit the walls of the mine.
"Crap, we've been tricked! Retreat! "One of the two Qi Refinement cultivators shouted.
The Early Stage cultivator's expression changed at the same time. He shrank back and tried to escape.
Bang bang!
Ouch! The two of them were sent flying by Lu Xiaotian's kick. The other wanted to get up, but his neck was already pressed against the other's ice-cold sword.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?" The bald old man who had a sword pressed against his neck said with a face full of shock.
"What do you think?" Lu Xiaotian coldly snorted. When he discovered the Metal Spirit Stones, he had already noticed a faint shadow on the ground. Although it was very faint in the dark environment of the mine, he could still see it if he was careful. After experiencing the scheming against the other cultivators in the Full Moon Mountain Range, where the slightest carelessness could cost him his life, how could Lu Xiaotian be so careless? Just because of a few low-grade Metal Spirit Stones, he gave up his vigilance.
