Nie Tian stood still, looking coldly at the cave where Xing Beichen fell, with a trace of ridicule escaping from the corner of his mouth.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, from the cave where Xing Beichen flew down, there was a roar that shook the world.
An extremely condensed, righteous and peaceful sword intent overflowed from the hole.
"Kick-kick-kick!"
Where the sword intent splashed out, rocks as hard as fine iron exploded one after another.
Nie Tian only used his soul consciousness to detect those wisps of fierce sword intent, but he felt a stinging pain in his mind, and his expression immediately changed.
"This person! He is so strong!"
Nie Tian and Xing Beichen have known each other for a while, but they have never seen this person take action, and they can never estimate his true combat power.
But through Yin Yanan's caution against Xing Beichen, he guessed that this person was definitely something special. Otherwise, talented people like Yin Yanan and Qiao Yunxi would not be so cautious.
Even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still moved by the wisps of power leaking out of the unparalleled sword intent.
The aura coming from Xing Beichen's sword intent was so sharp and domineering that it could tear the sky and crush everything.
From Nie Tian's point of view, if Xing Beichen's sword intent was not scattered and condensed into one, he might be able to compete with those in the middle stage of the Mysterious Realm!
"Be careful of Xing Beichen!" Qiao Yunxi seemed to have known this for a long time. She was not surprised by Xing Beichen's sudden display of power, but said: "If it weren't for you and Yin Yanan, I wouldn't have dared to fight with him. He traveled together. At that time, when he wanted to ride the Flame Bird, Yin Yanan and I refused to agree because we were afraid of him."
Nie Tian narrowed his eyes and said, "If I didn't have that flesh and blood puppet, Yin Yanan wouldn't be a match for him if he didn't have the seventh-order ice-blood python."
"He is a legendary figure among the young generation of Yuantian Star Territory!" Qiao Yunxi explained, "Not long after he entered the late stage of the Mortal Realm, he jumped over the ranks and killed those in the early stage of the Xuan Realm. This incident caused a sensation. The origin of this person is unknown. Suddenly he appeared in the Three Swords Sect, and was regarded as the hope for the future by the Three Swords Sect."
"When he first arrived at the Three Swords Sect, he only had cultivation in the early stage of the mortal realm, and he entered the late stage in a short period of time."
"The original genius of the Three Swords Sect died suddenly and inexplicably when he went out for a trial with him. During that trial, the Three Swords Sect sent more than a dozen people deep into a secret realm, but he was the only one who survived. one."
"There are rumors outside that he killed all his fellow disciples, establishing his unique and noble status in the Three Swords Sect."
"He is proficient in all the secret sword techniques of the Three Sword Sect. He also heard that there is a sword technique that no one in the Three Sword Sect has been able to master for many years, and he has also successfully understood the mystery."
Qiao Yunxi looked complicated and whispered: "This person seems to have no sense of belonging to the Three Swords Sect. The Three Swords Sect has carefully cultivated him for many years, and he has rejected the Three Swords Sect's kind arrangements in many matters. The Three Sword Sect originally wanted to marry the Guan family and chose Guan He, but he politely refused."
"The Guan family asked him to find young and beautiful girls within the family, but he refused."
"Because of this matter, there was a conflict between the Three Swords Sect and the Guan family."
When Qiao Yunxi talked about Xing Beichen, her expression was solemn, and she was clearly very afraid of this person.
"call out!"
Xing Beichen suddenly flew out of the cave entrance, and the shocking sword intent that had previously burst out all converged and disappeared.
He smiled dryly and said loudly: "It seems there are no new gold-eating insects."
"It's definitely there. Whether you can find it or not depends on you." Nie Tian grinned. "The dirty talk is ahead. There are still gold-eating insects in the meteorite underneath. Whoever finds it will belong to us."
Xing Beichen looked helpless and nodded: "Okay."
Nie Tian quietly used his life energy and blood, like invisible tentacles, to penetrate under the meteorite to sense the tiny movement of blood energy.
After a while, he calmly darted to the entrance of another cave, went all the way deep, and continuously struck with the flame star.
"Peng!"
Not long after, a brilliant golden glow bloomed from a broken meteorite again.
After picking out the surface rocks, Nie Tian found another golden insect the size of a thumb.
"Yes, it really is!" Xing Beichen looked excited.
Qiao Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then she realized what she was doing. She cheered and ran to other caves, hoping to act according to the law.
Xing Beichen observed Nie Tian from a distance and was puzzled. He didn't know how he could find the gold-eating insect again so accurately.
He also understood that it was impossible for Nie Tian to tell him the search technique. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to randomly select caves, occasionally re-opening the cave entrances, and search aimlessly.
Although his realm is exquisite and advanced, he has no life blood and cannot sense the weak blood of the gold-eating insect.
He and Qiao Yunxi were busy everywhere, rushing to different cave entrances, breaking rocks, and searching hard, but still found nothing.
On the other hand, Nie Tian could get one or more gold-eating insects every time he went deep into the cave.
Every time they heard the sound of gold and iron clashing and saw the sudden golden light, they knew that Nie Tian had gained something again, which made them very frustrated.
Soon, two hours passed quickly, and Nie Tian had obtained dozens of gold-eating insects.
By this time, Yin Yanan from the Beast Control Sect had arranged for the ice-blood python to sneak into another meteorite to refine the remaining power of the eighth-level black ice python.
Seeing that the Ice-Blooded Python was on the right track, Yin Yanan noticed their unusual behavior after taking some time off.
She looked at it curiously for a while, communicated with the ice-blood python with her soul consciousness, and slowly floated over from the meteorite.
Halfway through, she suddenly noticed that Nie Tian had picked up a golden gold-eating insect from the bottom of a cave and put it into a storage ring.
"Gold-eating insects! There are actually gold-eating insects inside that meteorite!"
Yin Yanan also became interested in an instant, and soon discovered that Qiao Yunxi and Xing Beichen were also moving around. They were obviously searching for gold-eating insects like Nie Tian.
She couldn't help but fall towards the meteorite, looking for caves dug by the Jian family and the Guan family to collect the bodies of gold-eating insects.
Unlike Xing Beichen and Qiao Yunxi, she is also extremely sensitive to Qi and blood. However, the body of the gold-eating bug is extremely small, the remaining Qi and blood are weak, and it is still deep in the meteorite. Even she can't do anything like Nie. As fast as the sky, he accurately selected the target and peeled off the gold-eating insects from the ground.
Half an hour later.
"Crack!"
There was a sudden explosion at the entrance of the meteorite cave that Nie Tian had re-opened with the Flame Star, and a bright golden light shone out from it.
The other three people, who had gained nothing, subconsciously gathered together and stood at the entrance of the cave to look down.
A meteorite as big as a head exploded, and a gold-eating insect appeared from it again.
This gold-eating bug was more than ten times larger than the other gold-eating bugs collected by Nie Tian. There were fine golden patterns on the hard shell of the gold-eating bug.
Those golden patterns seem to be imprinted with the mystery of the power of golden sharpness, implying infinite mysteries.
"That's it!"
Nie Tian's eyes flashed strangely, and before Xing Beichen and the others could take a closer look, he quickly put the body of the gold-eating insect into the storage ring.
According to his life bloodline induction, this gold-eating insect was also the last one under the meteorite.
The remaining vitality and blood energy in this gold-eating insect is more powerful than the dozens he collected before combined!
The reason why he left it until the end to collect the gold-eating insect was because the place where the gold-eating insect was buried was far away from all the caves dug by the Jian family and the Guan family.
He had to pierce the earth again, break the rocks, and painstakingly work to get it.
He quickly peeled off all the gold-eating insects that were easier to collect, and then concentrated on capturing the last and most powerful gold-eating insect.
"That's the female worm." Xing Beichen's eyes showed a strange light, "I'm afraid all the gold-eating insects here come from it. It is much more powerful than other gold-eating insects. This female worm..."
"Mine." Nie Tian interrupted at the bottom of the cave.
Xing Beichen twitched the corners of his lips with an intriguing smile, "Nie Tian, all the soul crystals at the bottom of the lake belong to you, are these gold-eating insects planning to devour them all?"
"I remember what I said clearly before. Whoever finds the gold-eating bug hidden under the meteorite will own it." Nie Tian frowned.
"But all the gold-eating insects are in your hands. Nie Tian, don't do things too badly. How about giving us some gold-eating insects?" Xing Beichen said.
"We can't talk about it." Nie Tian refused.
"Junior sister Yin, I have a little suggestion." Xing Beichen stopped paying attention to him, but looked at Yin Yanan, and said seriously: "You and I work together, with your seventh-level ice-blood python, we should be able to block the powerful Minus that flesh and blood puppet. And I am responsible for dealing with him, as well as Qiao Yunxi. The soul crystals and gold-eating insects on his body will be divided between you and me afterwards, and the bulk will be yours, what do you think?"
"What?" Qiao Yunxi changed color.
Nie Tian's face darkened.
Yin Yanan looked stunned, then frowned, as if she was seriously weighing the gains and losses.
