"The Origin Monster King entered the Yellow Springs?!" Lu Qingshan was shocked and asked in confusion, "How did he pass through the restrictions of the Yellow Springs Realm Barrier?"
"This is practically an open secret." Ji Chuan nodded and explained, "There is a natural magic item in the Yellow Springs called the Geomancy Map of the Nine Nether.
For some reason, it was swept out of a spatial rift and was picked up by the Origin Monster King, who was still a small demon at the time.
No one knows what kind of magical powers the Geomancy Map of the Nine Nether has.
However, it has a special ability that everyone knows. It can wrap around the Origin Monster King and allow him to enter the Yellow Springs Realm unimpeded.
Because of this great fortune, after the Origin Monster King obtained the Geomancy Map of the Nine Nether, he grew to become an eighth rank great demon king after several thousand years. "
Lu Qingshan was silent.
In that case, the Origin Monster King was not only a person of great fortune, but also an ambitious and ruthless character.
Treasures arouse the envy of others.
After all, not everyone would be able to rise up after obtaining a heavenly treasure.
In fact, most people would only bring disaster to themselves after obtaining a Divine Realm treasure.
"As for the Source Orchid mine, it is a special mine formed under the invasion of the Yellow Springs Death Qi. As long as the Yellow Springs Death Qi exists, it can be continuously produced.
It is a special spirit mine that is shaped like an orchid and contains Death Qi.
Magic tools made with Source Orchid as the main material have the effect of wearing down a cultivator's flesh and blood. It is impossible to guard against and is deeply loved by meditating cultivators. Therefore, it is extremely popular and brings in great profits.
There are hundreds of cultivator clans of various sizes in Burial Ridge, and they are all based on the Source Orchid mine.
And the largest Source Rock Orchid mine is the one we're looking at right now.
It belongs to the Qiu Clan under the Sword Sect and they are responsible for mining it. However, they have to sell eighty percent of the Source Orchid mined to our Sword Sect every year, "Ji Chuan explained.
The 20% that the Qiu Family received was equivalent to a labor fee, which was quite high.
Lu Qingshan inwardly clicked his tongue as he thought to himself.
As Ji Chuan spoke, he slowly descended with Lu Qingshan. "With our Sword Faction's name behind them, no one in Burial Ridge dares to provoke the Qiu Family. They control this Dao Source Orchid mine and gradually grow stronger.
However, in the past three months, many of the Origin Demons that were supposed to stay in the forbidden zone had for some unknown reason run out.
They barged into the Qiu Family's Source Orchid mine and attacked the Qiu Family's cultivators without restraint, occupying the mine for themselves.
The Qiu Clan had fought with these Genesis Demons many times and had suffered greatly each time.
The last time, the Qiu Clan even lost an early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the mine.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Qiu Clan. Almost all of the clans in Burial Ridge were in the same situation. They couldn't find the source of the disaster, so for a time, everyone was in a state of panic. No one dared to mine the Source Orchid again.
This can't go on. The Qiu Clan can't take any more losses, so they sent a request for help to our Sword Sect. "
"Then what did the Qiu Clan mean when they said there was a shadow of the Hades in the mine?" As he spoke, Lu Qingshan's gaze was fixed on the withered yellow mine entrance not far away.
For some reason, he felt as if there was an extremely obscure and strange aura seeping out from there.
"The Qiu Clan said that a branch disciple saw a cultivator leave the Source Orchid mine.
This cultivator was surrounded by Devil Qi and was extremely terrifying. He must be a Hades Devil Cultivator. Therefore, they concluded that this matter should be related to the Hades cultivators, "Ji Chuan replied.
"Hehe …" Lu Qingshan laughed coldly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "The water this time is very deep."
Ji Chuan nodded in agreement. "Indeed. That's why I personally took on this mission to investigate."
Both of them were shrewd people.
The Hades cultivator had just left the mine. It wasn't a matter of life and death. Why would he release Devil Qi? And it just so happened that someone saw it?
Did he purposely reveal his identity?
How could the Hades cultivator act so rashly?
How could this matter be so coincidental?
"Let's go take a look at the situation first," Ji Chuan said.
Because there were many Origin Demons scattered in the Source Orchid mine, the Qiu Clan was unable to eliminate them. After losing a Nascent Soul elder, everyone had already retreated from the mine.
The Source Orchid was important, but their lives were more important!
At this moment, there was no one in the Source Orchid mine.
In order to not be influenced by the subjective opinions of others, it would lead to wrong judgments.
Therefore, Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan decided to first go to the Source Orchid mine to investigate the situation personally before going to the Qiu Clan to ask about the details.
By verifying the two, the conclusion obtained would be more objective.
The two of them dashed toward the entrance of the mine.
However, just as they arrived at the entrance, both of them frowned.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a petite figure rushed out of the mine in a hurry.
How could there be someone in the Source Orchid mine?
Behind the figure was a demon ape. Its body was about ten feet long and completely black. It looked as if it was wrapped in a layer of rock. Waves of violent Demon Qi constantly flickered from its body.
Ji Chuan's eyes narrowed and a ray of Sword Qi instantly shot out. With a poof, the Sword Qi pierced through the demon ape's head.
The originally ferocious demon ape's brain matter and blood spurted out together and it instantly died.
However, the small figure seemed to have not reacted and in a panic, it crashed into Ji Chuan.
The moment the figure crashed into Ji Chuan, Ji Chuan circulated all his spiritual power and bounced the figure away.
Affected by the huge impact, the Daoist figure flew out uncontrollably.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan had already seen the true face of the Daoist figure.
It was a young girl with a somewhat babyish face and a somewhat childish appearance.
Her cultivation was not high, only in the early Foundation Establishment stage.
However, Lu Qingshan also knew that he naturally could not compare cultivators from other sects to cultivators from the Dao Sect.
Hence, he guessed that this young girl's actual age should be much older than her appearance, given her cultivation base.
"It hurts." The young girl rubbed her waist and got up, subconsciously complaining.
Then, she suddenly realized her situation. Like a frightened rabbit, she hurriedly got up and rushed out of the cave. At the same time, she called out to Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan, "There's an Origin Demon chasing after me. Hurry up and run …"
Her voice came to an abrupt halt.
This was because Ji Chuan had grabbed the female cultivator who was about to rush past them.
"The Origin Demon has been dealt with," Ji Chuan said calmly.
The reckless female cultivator was stunned when she heard this. Only then did she remember to look back.
However, he discovered that the Monster Ape that had been chasing after him earlier had already become a corpse.
"You guys dealt with it?" the female cultivator asked with wide eyes.
Lu Qingshan pointed at Ji Chuan. "He dealt with it."
Seeing that the danger was over, the female cultivator finally calmed down. She turned her head and curiously sized up Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan with her big black eyes.
The female cultivator pointed at the depths of the cave and asked curiously, "You're also here to earn some extra money?"
"Earn some extra money?" Ji Chuan was stunned.
Lu Qingshan vaguely guessed the female cultivator's meaning and said, "You know your way around?"
"Of course." The female cultivator's voice rose a few octaves. She patted her chest proudly and said, "I'm Qiu Shiyin, a member of the Qiu Family. Previously, I was in charge of monitoring the Origin Stone Orchid mine. I'm very familiar with the situation here."
