Mercury and lead were essential materials in the Cultivation World. However, these materials were relatively low-level and common, so their value was very ordinary. They were not like some precious mineral deposits or spirit stone mines, which required people to fight for them to the death.
The problem was that, for a Cultivation Sect, one of the most important principles was, "I can ignore it, but I can't let my opponent get it for free!"
Originally, it wouldn't take much effort for a high-level Cultivator to figure out the distribution of underground mineral deposits. However, due to the ordinary mineral deposits, high-level Cultivators disdained them, and the purpose of cultivating the ability of young disciples, no high-level Cultivator was willing to come to Qingshui. This was a tacit agreement between all the major Cultivation Sects. As for how to divide the mineral deposits, it was up to the low-level disciples to fight for it!
Wan Jingliu was the first to discover the Mercury and lead mine, so they knew the whole distribution of the mineral deposits very well. Later, the paper couldn't hide the fire, so Xuanyuan got involved. However, they also lost the opportunity and were about to suffer a loss in the distribution of the mineral deposits.
According to the rules of the game, there wasn't much that could be done about it. However, there was a problem within Wan Jingliu's own sect. One of the cultivators, Chunshu, had a conflict with his own sect due to personal matters, so he wanted to join Xuanyuan's side. The key to his promotion was the detailed distribution of the mineral veins.
He spread the news through a certain channel, but cleverly didn't reveal the secret of the mineral deposits. One was to protect himself, and the other was to advance. He asked Xuanyuan to send someone to pick him up, because he felt that he had been suspected.
Lou Xiaoyi received such a task. He was to bring Chun Shu back to Xuanyuan. He didn't need to go back to the dome. As long as he could return to Xuanyuan's sphere of influence, someone would naturally take over.
In theory, he was definitely not the most suitable person, but he was probably the closest person to An Ding City, had a certain level of strength, and was on the ranking list.
If Wan Jingliu and the traitor were killed together, that would be a disgrace.
This kind of trivial matter was very annoying. To cultivators, the most annoying thing was this kind of mission to protect people. There were all kinds of restrictions on one's hands and feet, so it was better to go to the enemy's hinterland and kill people to their heart's content.
Although he was a little dissatisfied, Lou Xiaoyi quickly set off on his journey. He knew very well that no matter what he thought, he could not avoid this kind of mission. In terms of missions alone, it was better to get it done as soon as possible. There was no room for delay!
From Spear Tip Town to the south, An Ding Town was three thousand miles away. For the current him, it would take him six hours to get there. He put on a cloak to cover his eye-catching sword sheath, but he quickly discovered that this thing was not very useful. Go for a ride!
Riding on a horse with a cloak fluttering in the wind was very handsome, but flying in the air was very silly. The excessive speed made the cloak of ordinary materials feel like it would tear at any time. Moreover, the sword sheath on his back was even more eye-catching. That damned cloak fluttered cheerfully, as if telling others to quickly come and see, there is a sword sheath hidden under the cloak!
Without any other choice, he could only put away the sword sheath. He did not have the mental mysophobia of many external swords. He swore that he would never take off the sword sheath in his life to show that he would never leave the sword sheath and share honor and disgrace with the sword.
Carrying out this kind of mission and entering the sphere of influence of another power while carrying a sword sheath on his back was not necessarily a path to death, but it was definitely a path to failure.
Right now, he looked like a spell cultivator as he swaggered through the air. How carefree was that! He did not have to worry about being interrogated at any time and place. He could enjoy the scenery of the lakes and mountains to his heart's content.
After flying for almost two hours, just as he was about to leave Xuanyuan's sphere of influence, a figure rapidly approached from the side. It was the Sword Control Technique. Lou Xiaoyi knew that things were not good. He moved quickly and already had the sword sheath on his body. When the figure's flying sword was less than five hundred feet away from him, the Four Seasons Sword collided head-on with the sword's gleam. This was a reckless inner sword!
He complained, "Senior Brother, didn't you ask clearly before you sent out the sword? You even cut down your own people! "
The Swordsman made a beautiful turn in the air and stared at him with disdain.
"Have external swords fallen to such a state? You don't even dare to carry a sword sheath when you go out on a mission? "
In the inner sword, not everyone was like Guang Bei. Lou Xiaoyi was very touched by this. There were arrogant and conceited people everywhere, who regarded the rise and fall of the sect as their own responsibility. It was not strange at all that they would force their own will on others!
He pointed in the direction he was going. "It's inconvenient! I've shamed Xuanyuan! But if external swords could hide their flying swords in the Niwan Palace like your inner swords, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble! "
The Swordsman's eyebrows rose. "What? You're not convinced after I said a few words to you? Is it our choice to hide our Niwan Palace in the Niwan Palace? But I can tell you that if we were an inner Swordsman and an external sword, we would never hide our weapons and hide our heads and tails! "
Lou Xiaoyi said indifferently, "I just want to say that you shouldn't judge others from your own point of view! Your habits are not other people's habits! When Senior Brother has the right to speak one day, I'll add another rule to the sect's rules. Those who do not carry a sword sheath will be expelled from the sect. I, your Junior Brother, will carry it everywhere I go! "
The inner Swordsman became even more fierce. "I am Guang Yao! Who are you? Which peak are you on? Who is your master? What is your purpose here? I suspect that your actions are improper. I need to investigate thoroughly before I can let you go! "
He was angry out of humiliation. Perhaps it was because Lou Xiaoyi's tone was disrespectful, but he was a little dissatisfied with this mission. Even his mood was a little irritable. For cultivators, this was not something they should do. But since they were just Foundation Establishment cultivators, they had too many experiences to go through. There was always the possibility that they would occasionally lose their composure.
Lou Xiaoyi ignored him and continued forward. "Senior Brother has no right to ask about my background during a mission! If you really want to know, why don't you go to Soaring Heaven Pavilion or Thunder Palace? You can also accuse me of not carrying a sword sheath! "
Seeing him leave without a care, the inner Swordsman narrowed his eyes. He couldn't stop him. They were not subordinate to each other. In theory, in Xuanyuan Sword Sect, the internal and external swords were equal. This was the correct way of cultivation.
But he didn't want to let it go. A young disciple of an external sword dared to look down on the dignity of an internal sword. This was something that rarely happened. He wanted to see what this guy's so-called mission was.
Of course, he didn't doubt the true identity of this young external Swordsman. It was not uncommon for external swords to take off their sword sheaths when they were outside. The sect also tacitly allowed it. Due to the lack of strength, blindly following tradition would only bring them extra trouble. This kind of situation was rarer as one's cultivation level increased.
It was not easy to follow a Swordsman in the same cultivation level, but he had his own way.
