At this moment, Nie Qian noticed that the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered in the mine was rapidly draining away.
It seemed that the massive aura of heaven and earth that had gathered before was entirely due to the beast bone and Nie Tian. When the beast bone returned to normal, and when Nie Tian's soul consciousness came out of the beast bone, the magic would disappear.
"Well!"
Nie Tian, who was holding the animal bone in his hand, suddenly showed a look of ecstasy on his face and said, "Auntie, I, I have reached the sixth level of Qi refining!"
"What?!" Nie Qian screamed.
Nie Tian took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and felt it carefully, and then said in a positive tone: "The spiritual energy gathered in my Dantian spiritual sea has reached the level of the sixth level of Qi refining!"
"Really... is this true?" Nie Qian looked incredulous.
Nie Tian nodded heavily.
"It must be the protection of the ancestors of the Nie family!" Nie Qian was overjoyed, pointing to the fallen rocks piled up beside her, "The mine just collapsed, and huge rocks were falling everywhere. We are the only one who has not been broken at all. It is completely unreasonable to be bombarded. You just took the animal bone, felt it in it, gathered the terrifying spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and stepped into the sixth level of Qi refining in one step. In addition to the strangeness of the animal bone itself, It must be the blessings from your ancestors that allowed you to make such amazing progress."
"Maybe." Nie Tian smiled, but he didn't care about Nie Qian's superstition.
The shadows in the darkness of the mine silently listened to the conversation between the two, but their eyes always fell on the animal bones in Nie Tian's hands.
"Boom!"
At this moment, another huge vibration and roar came from the mountain peak.
Because the flame power of the fire cloud stone in the entire mountain peak was absorbed by the animal bone, the short mountain underwent tremendous changes, causing the structure of the mountain to become unstable.
"Oops!"
Nie Qian woke up from the surprise in an instant. Looking at the entrance of the mine that was blocked by falling rocks, the joy in her eyes was gradually replaced by fear.
"We must get out as soon as possible, otherwise, we will be buried in the heart of the mountain!" Nie Qian said urgently.
Nie Tian turned his head and glanced at the cave entrance made of rubble. He became nervous and no longer had the intention to feel the drop of blood in the animal's bones.
"Quick! Move those rubbles away immediately. We must leave as quickly as possible!" Nie Qian ordered.
Nie Tian nodded and was ready to take action immediately.
"Boom!"
Another loud noise came from other mines. Nie Qian and Nie Tian ignored it. They both knew that major changes might have occurred in the other mines in the mountain. They also realized that if they stayed in the mountain, what awaited them. There will only be death.
Just when they were about to take action, there was another huge roar, and they clearly felt that the entire mountain seemed to be shaking.
In the darkness, a shadow that Nie Qian couldn't even detect also noticed the dangerous situation here.
He looked at the entrance of the mine, and saw two invisible hands, pulling and pulling, constantly adjusting something.
Along the entrance of the mine, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowing outside seemed to be suddenly and precisely controlled according to his movements.
"Kick-kick-kick!"
Pieces of gravel blocking the entrance of the mine suddenly rolled outwards, pulled by invisible forces.
In a very short period of time, a passage opened up at the completely blocked entrance to the mine.
Nie Tian and Nie Qian, who had been looking at the entrance of the mine, suddenly discovered that the problem that troubled them had been solved inexplicably.
"Auntie..." Nie Tian touched his head and suddenly became a little suspicious, "Is it possible that we are really being secretly protected by our ancestors?"
The vibration of the mountain could blast away the rubble at the entrance of their cave, which was obviously unreasonable.
Even Nie Tian, who did not believe in ghosts and gods, was shaken by the anomalies that kept appearing at this moment.
"It must be!" Nie Qian's eyes flashed with surprise and she hurriedly said: "Don't be stunned, get out quickly!"
After that, without waiting for Nie Tian to say anything, she grabbed Nie Tian's arm, pulled him, and hurriedly followed the magical passage out of the mine.
Along the way, many of the stone paths blocked by rubble inexplicably opened up as the mountain shook, allowing only the two of them to pass.
Their journey was surprisingly smooth, and they escaped despite the huge earthquake that shook the entire mountain.
"Miss, how did you get out?"
At the entrance of the cave, Nie Xiang, the steward of the Nie family, stuttered as he watched Nie Qian and Nie Tian emerge from the cave covered in dust.
"Incredible! Unbelievable!"
"We thought that the eldest lady had been buried in the mine and there was absolutely no way she could get out!"
"God bless you, Miss!"
“…”
Many anxious Nie family members, as well as the frightened workers, watched Nie Qian and Nie Tian rush out of the mine, and they all congratulated them sincerely.
After Nie Qian came out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. After leading Nie Tian away from the shaking low mountain, she said, "It was the ancestor who opened his eyes."
"I think so." Nie Xiang looked strange, and in his heart he felt that it was a miracle that Nie Qian and Nie Tian could come out alive. After he echoed a few words, he said with a bitter look on his face: "More than a dozen people died. The clan members, as well as more workers hired by the family, stayed in the mine forever, which was a huge disaster."
As soon as these words came out, Nie Qian also looked solemn and said: "This matter... will have a huge impact on the family."
Nie Xiang nodded with a wry smile, "The most important task of our Nie family is to help Lingyun Sect mine the Fire Cloud Stone on this mountain peak. With such a drastic change, it will be difficult for us to continue to mine the Fire Cloud Stone in a short period of time. This year, we are afraid that If we can’t collect the amount of fire cloud stones that should be handed over, I’m afraid Lingyun Sect will blame me.”
"What should I do?"
"How can our family gain a foothold in Black Cloud City after losing the trust of Lingyun Sect?"
"We are going to be in bad luck, Patriarch. The Patriarch has just taken office. If such a big thing happens, the Patriarch will punish us heavily!"
"Oops!"
Many of the surviving Nie family members were in panic, and they were all confused and didn't know what to do.
"Miss, what do you think?" Nie Xiang looked at Nie Qian pitifully.
He was only a collateral member of the Nie family. He had only become the manager of the mine when Nie Donghai was in power. After Nie Beichuan became the head of the family, he wanted to arrange for his cronies to replace him.
Nie Beichuan has been causing trouble for him during this period. He is worried that he can't find an excuse to remove him. Now that such a disaster has happened in the mine, it is still a small matter that his position is not guaranteed. He is afraid that Nie Beichuan will take the opportunity to attack and hold him accountable for more crimes. .
"This is a natural disaster and it should have nothing to do with you. After I return to the family, I will explain the situation truthfully. Don't worry too much." Nie Qian comforted her.
"It's difficult..." Nie Xiang sighed.
He knew that after Nie Beichuan came to power, the situation in the family of Nie Donghai and Nie Qian was very bad. Nie Beichuan, who wanted to flex his muscles, would never let go of this golden opportunity.
He will definitely be the target of being killed to scare the monkeys.
"Nie Tian and I will go back first. I will try my best to help you with the matters here." Nie Qian promised.
"Okay." Nie Xiang nodded helplessly.
"During this period, please don't act rashly. After the vibration completely disappears, you can then enter it, take out the victim's body, re-open the stone passage, and continue mining the fire cloud stone." Nie Qian warned.
Even she didn't know that all the great changes were due to the beast bone in Nie Tian's hand.
She also didn't know that all the fire cloud stones stored in the entire mountain peak had been drained of the power of fire by the animal bones, thus condensing that drop of blood.
Nie Tian put one hand in his waist pocket, stroking the animal bones, and stared blankly at the still shaking mountain peaks, his face also very serious.
He was the only one who vaguely felt that the fire cloud stones on the entire mountain peak had turned into mortal stones after this incident and would probably never be mined again.
"Let's go back to the city." Nie Qian gave Nie Xiang a few more instructions, and then took Nie Tian to Black Cloud City.
Not long after she and Nie Tian left, an invisible shadow like water waves quietly flew out from the entrance of the mine. It looked in the direction where she and Nie Tian left for a while, and then silently floated back to Lingyun Mountain. .
