Drunk Immortal Gourd

The area covered by Qingyang and Chen Biwang is hundreds of miles long. After deducting the area they have explored for more than three months and the dozens of miles surrounding the Lingshi vein, there is still quite a lot of space left. few. However, after receiving the rewards, everyone seemed to be more motivated, and it only took more than a month to complete all the remaining work.

As for the other two groups of inner court disciples, according to the news from Master Kang's son, they have almost completed the exploration. It will take at most half a month to complete the exploration of their assigned areas. But what is more disappointing is that, Only one group found a small spiritual stone mine, and the remaining group seemed to be unlucky and found nothing.

Recently, the Spiritual Mine Academy has sent more manpower to Jingfeng Mountain and built the Spirit Mine Stronghold of Qingfeng Palace near the Lingshi Mine. The mining disciples were also in place, most of them were disciples of the Meridian Opening Realm from the Auxiliary Academy, and there were hundreds of them.

The mining work is done by the disciples of the Auxiliary Court and the Outer Court, and the supervision and inspection are done by the disciples of the Lingkuang Court. These trivial matters do not need to be handled by the inner court disciples such as Qingyang and Chen Biwang, so after completing the work at hand, A few of them are relatively relaxed.

It's not that there is nothing to do, but their job has changed from searching for mineral veins and cleaning up monsters to guarding the safety of spiritual stone mineral veins and mining disciples. Usually they only need to sit in their stronghold in Jingfeng Mountain, and only need to come forward when they encounter danger. This job is relatively boring, but it does not delay their cultivation. Of course, the pay will be lower.

Seeing that the stronghold of the Lingshi mine was established, the Lingkuang Institute also began to organize people to work in the mine. Everything was on track, and Qingyang, Chen Biwang and others settled down. The mission they received was to serve in Jingfeng Mountain for one year. It has only been nearly six months now, and they will stay here for half a year. In other words, there is still one and a half years left. The Inner Court Competition is about to begin. They must seize the opportunity. If you don't have any time, work hard to improve your cultivation, and you will have a better chance of winning in the future.

The mining business soon got on track, and good news came back on the first day. A total of more than twenty spiritual stones were dug out, including a medium-grade spiritual stone. The harvest was not small. Then Qingyang, Chen Biwang and others settled down in this stronghold. They usually meditated and practiced in the quiet room inside the stronghold, and also walked around in their spare time.

Qingyang and Chen Biwang thought that they might have to spend the next half month like this. Unfortunately, it backfired. They had only been settled for three days when news came from Kangjiazhuang that something had happened and Qingyuan Sanren asked them to stay. One person sticks to the stronghold, and the others return to Kangjiazhuang.

After some discussion, everyone left Zeng Shuisheng to guard the stronghold. Qingyang, Chen Biwang, Miao Baoye, and Kangzhuang Zhu returned to Kangjiazhuang together. When they arrived at Kangjiazhuang, they discovered that they were not the only ones who had returned. There were also two other groups of disciples from the inner courtyard. Even the Lingkuang Academy had sent many people back. There were twenty or thirty people gathered in the entire courtyard, and the air was filled with The smell of blood.

Qingyang looked around and discovered that the source of the bloody smell came from Fang Wenshan's group of inner courtyard disciples. At first, the fifteen inner courtyard disciples were divided into three groups. Counting the guides sent by Kangjiazhuang, each group should have six people. Except for Li Shengbo of the Qingyang group who had an accident, the other two groups had no injuries. But now It was discovered that something happened to Fang Yunshan's group.

There were only four of them in a group of six, and they were all injured. Among them, Fang Yunshan was the most seriously injured. His face was pale, his spirit was listless, his left arm was almost broken, and there was a horrific wound on his abdomen, which could almost be seen. To the internal organs, almost half of a life was lost.

No one knew exactly what happened, but looking at the situation of Fang Wenshan's group, it seemed that they were attacked, and the danger level was more severe than the group of Jingshan rats that Qingyang and the others encountered before. Otherwise, there wouldn't be only four of them. The individual escaped. Did they also encounter some powerful monster? To be able to injure a group of inner court disciples like this must be at least level four, right?

While everyone was making wild guesses, the Qingyuan Sanren who was sitting in the main seat suddenly slapped the table and said: "It was Li Shengbo before, and now he hurts two of my disciples. It's really too much of a lie."

Uncle Liang next to him was startled and said: "Senior Brother Qingyuan, the matter has not yet come to light. We cannot draw conclusions so early."

Uncle Zhou said: "Isn't this obvious? Besides Jingfeng Pavilion, who else could do such a thing? It must be the people from Jingfeng Pavilion. They were angry because the seven immortal sects had taken away their spirit stone veins. He secretly attacked our Qingfeng Palace disciples."

After listening to the words of the three spiritual uncles from the Lingkuang Academy, Qingyang finally understood the whole story. It turned out that they blamed Jingfeng Pavilion for Li Shengbo's death and the attack on Fang Yunshan and others.

Qingyang didn't know whether Jingfeng Pavilion was responsible for the attack on Fang Yunshan and others, but he knew that Li Shengbo's death probably had little to do with Jingfeng Pavilion. It was just that it was related to him. He definitely couldn't speak out, otherwise wouldn't it be wrong? Not asking for it?

According to Uncle Zhou, Jingfeng Pavilion did have a motive for doing this, but Uncle Liang still thought it should be more prudent and said: "That's what I said, but we don't have direct evidence to prove that Jingfeng Pavilion did it, so we can't act on impulse. Especially It's Li Shengbo. I don't know whether he is alive or dead, how can he be blamed on Jingfeng Pavilion? "

Uncle Zhou sneered: "What evidence do we need for such an obvious thing? Ask Fang Yunshan and the others, did the disciples of Jingfeng Pavilion attack them this time?"

After listening to Uncle Zhou's words, everyone turned their attention to Fang Yunshan and others. The inner courtyard disciple of the ninth level of Qi Refining in the team said: "At that time, we encountered a pair of third-level forest-piercing beasts, and we were fighting at a critical moment. Suddenly, he was attacked from behind. Junior Brother Kang died immediately. Junior Brother Zuo was unable to react in time and was also bitten to death by the forest-walking beast. The four of us left had to not only deal with the pair of crazy forest-walking beasts, but also the secret sneak attack. , and finally managed to escape."

The Junior Brother Zuo he was talking about was the disciple from the inner courtyard of the seventh level of Qi Refining who died. He was a little unlucky because he was too close to the forest beast when the accident happened. He didn't react in time after being attacked by someone and was bitten to death. As for Master Nephew Kang, the eldest son of Master Kang, his cultivation level was only at the eighth level of Kai Mai Realm. He didn't even have a chance to resist when he was attacked by someone. As for the remaining people, they were all injured when they got rid of the two third-level forest-piercing beasts and the sneak attack.

"Have you seen clearly that they are really disciples of Jingfeng Pavilion?" Uncle Liang asked.
