Gongsun Yan snorted heavily: "I have long heard that elite disciples are often attracted by Elder Sun and others, which encourages their arrogance. I even heard that even many inner sect elders who have returned home have been attracted by them. Win over.”
Hearing these words, Fu Biao was helpless and said: "The sect has regulations that all inner sect elders over a certain age can return to their hometown. But in fact, who is willing to fade away? Most of them keep in touch with the sect all year round. Some elders directly entered the political arena of Yan State and gained considerable influence.
Another inner sect elder looked very old-fashioned and rarely spoke, but at this time he sighed and said: "I think that leaving Ye Ming alone might allow Sun Guangjie to get there first. Sun Guang and others People were ordered to go to Da Nei to participate in the power struggle of the royal family. It is said that the prince they supported has taken the absolute initiative. The Yan country is about to change. By then, Sun Guang's arrogance will be even more arrogant, directly It’s not necessarily possible to capture Ye Ming and become his personal disciple.”
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Gongsun Yan clenched his fists and said: "There are three factions in the Chiyang Sect. Apart from the five of us, Sun Guang is the most powerful. In addition, there are the elders who have been operating outside all year round. Of the three major factions, Elder Sun is the most ambitious. Gu Tian is right, we must be careful."
Fu Biao sneered: "Take Ye Ming away? Dream on! Hum, before they come, I will let the leader accept Ye Ming as his direct disciple."
"What?" The other four people were shocked, but then they all understood what Fu Biao meant and nodded in praise.
"In this way, maybe through Ye Ming, we can draw the leader to our side." Ma Tai said, "The leader should have been dissatisfied with Sun Guang's strength for a long time. If he accepts Ye Ming, he might be able to do something. action."
How could Ye Ming know about the high-level game? He is still being held in a dungeon. The dungeon is really not a place for people to stay. After a while, there were already piles of rat corpses in front of him. The rats in the dungeon were very ferocious, as big as a cat, and they dared to attack him, so naturally they were killed one after another.
"This is terrible. I am locked up here, and my cultivation will be abolished next. It's so abominable!" Ye Ming hated Wu Hanyu in his heart.
"Don't worry, Master. I heard the conversation between Fu Biao and five other inner sect elders. I'm afraid it's not simple for Master to be wronged this time. Infighting among sects occurs everywhere, and the Chiyang Sect is not immune to this. Judging from my experience, They may not just want to harm the master, they may have other considerations. Just wait and see what happens, don't think too much." Bei Ming spoke.
Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You are right, instead of thinking wildly, it is better to take the opportunity to practice. Unfortunately, I can't practice the "Five Elements Sutra" now."
Bei Ming said: "Master, the history of this dungeon is probably more than a thousand years ago. For more than a thousand years, many unknown things must have happened here. The sect is dark, and I don't know how many people died here in vain. , it’s more and more deplorable to think about it.”
Ye Ming rolled his eyes: "Beiming, when did you feel sad about spring and autumn?"
Bei Ming: "Actually, I want to tell the master that there are many good things hidden in the dungeon."
"What good thing?" Ye Ming asked in surprise. This dungeon is very old, dirty and smelly. Besides rats and fleas, it is hard to believe that there are good things here.
"At the end of the dungeon, there is a passage blocked by huge rocks. That passage should be connected to an ancient spiritual mine." Beiming said.
Ye Ming was shocked. The Ling Mine was the mine that produced the Ling Stone. All Ling mines are controlled by powerful forces. At least in the known country of Yan, there is not even a single spiritual mine. Those who have spiritual mines are usually big countries.
"It's a pity that it is a mined spiritual mine and is of little value." Bei Ming said, "I can only find some sporadic spiritual stones hidden in the rocks. This is also a huge amount of income for the owner."
Ye Ming rolled his eyes: "In that case, let's go and take a look." Thinking of this, his muscles and bones suddenly shrank, and the stainless steel cuffs fell off. Then he used the same method to take off the shackles.
The door of the cell was in vain and had long been corroded by the humid air, making it brittle and broken. Ye Ming kicked it open.
The environment in the dungeon was so bad that no one was guarding it. However, it is difficult to escape. There is only one exit, which leads straight to the ground and is guarded by disciples. They don't care about the situation below.
He was not afraid of being seen when he ran out of the cell like this, and no one would care about him. He soon came to the end of the dungeon and saw the huge stone blocking the passage. The stone was as tall as a person and weighed at least 50,000 kilograms.
"The stone is too big. I wonder if I can move it." Ye Ming grinned. He rolled up his sleeves, gathered all his strength, and pushed it to the side.
"Boom!"
A boulder weighing tens of thousands of kilograms was pushed away by him. In fact, after successive breakthroughs, his current strength has exceeded 30,000 kilograms. When it explodes with all its strength, it is extremely powerful, and it is not difficult to push this boulder.
After pushing for more than a dozen times, the stone finally moved open, just enough for him to pass through. He immediately ducked in and ducked in.
It was dark inside, the air was very dry, and there was no unpleasant smell. The environment was much better than the dungeon outside. He took out the fire folder and shook it, then a flash of fire lit up the passage. There are tall rocks on all sides, which can be clearly seen. There are obvious gouge marks on them, one by one, all over the wall.
It can be seen that when the mines were opened, ordinary people were used, otherwise they would not be able to use chisels. The mining area is very large. Ye Ming walked for half an hour, but he didn't reach the end. He couldn't help but said: "This mine is so big. It must have produced a lot of spiritual stones back then."
Bei Ming said: "Master, keep walking forward, I have discovered something."
Ye Ming immediately quickened his pace. Not long after, under Beiming's guidance, he found a black stone half buried in the soil. It was as big as a watermelon, and its texture was obviously different from the surrounding rocks.
Ye Ming lifted the rock and said curiously: "Beiming, is this broken rock the discovery you are talking about?"
"This is not a broken stone. In the jargon, this is called 'spiritual stone wool'. The formation of spiritual stone wool takes hundreds of millions of years, and even my martial arts soul cannot penetrate it. But its This feature also allows me to easily discover it." Beiming said.
Ye Ming said in surprise: "So, even you are not sure whether there is a spirit stone in it?"
"That's right. The owner needs to open it and take a look. If there is a spirit stone, he can make a small fortune." Bei Ming said.
Ye Ming immediately punched it down. The stone was fine, but he screamed and said in a strange voice: "So hard!"
"You need special tools to cut wool. You can't do it by force." Beiming said quickly, "The easiest way is to polish it."
Ye Ming smiled bitterly: "How can I have time to polish it." He shook his head and put it directly into his storage belt, ready to go out before talking.
Ye Ming wandered around the huge mining area for a long time and found four more large or small pieces of spiritual stone wool, which he threw into his storage belt. In the end, he gradually lost interest and was about to give up, but Beiming suddenly said: "Master's luck has come."
Ye Ming: "Find wool again?"
"It's not wool, it's something special." Bei Ming said, "Master, quickly go left."
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Ming came to a pile of gravel. It can be seen that this pile of rubble was dug out in the past and piled aside haphazardly. And there are traces of feces and urine around it, so it should be a convenient place for miners.
Ye Ming covered his nose and smiled bitterly: "The special thing you are talking about is not this shit, is it? It is indeed special!"
"Under the gravel." Beiming said.
Ye Ming didn't want to pull it with his hands, so he picked up a heavy shovel from the side and shoveled the gravel away vigorously. Thanks to his strength, it was easy to do this job. Within a moment, the gravel was moved away, revealing a thick stone slab. He didn't bother to open it and stepped on it.
"boom!"
The stone slab, which was not very hard, fell into pieces, and he threw them all aside. Then, he saw a layer of stone powder underneath, the texture seemed to be similar to wool and shell. He asked strangely: "Are these stone powder?"
"Down below." Beiming said.
Ye Ming's heart moved, and he reached down to dig around, and finally touched a palm-sized stone with a round and smooth appearance. When he took his hand out of the stone powder, a spiritual energy rushed out. The spiritual energy was very special, and it seemed that there was a kind of vitality contained in it.
"Spiritual stone!" Ye Ming's eyes widened. What he held in his hand was indeed a spiritual stone, and it was very strange. This spiritual stone emits a faint green light, which is very soft and very comfortable to look at.
"Beiming, what level of spirit stone is it?" Ye Ming didn't have much knowledge, so he asked Beiming. However, he felt that the grade of this spiritual stone was probably still higher than the True Sun Stone he purchased!
"Master, good luck. This is a seventh-level spiritual stone, the Life Stone!" Bei Ming said, "The Life Stone can be used to refine healing medicine. It is expensive and has no market. Even Duobao Tower cannot buy it. "
Ye Ming's heart was beating wildly, and he quickly threw the life stone aside, moved his hands together, and continued to dig inside. Soon, he took out five more spiritual stones of different shapes and colors, each of which was extraordinary.
"Three level seven life stones and two epiphany stones." Bei Ming exclaimed, "I didn't expect them to be epiphany stones!"
"How come there are spiritual stones here?" Ye Ming was happy and strange, so he asked Beiming.
"Master, according to my speculation, these six high-grade spiritual stones were hidden here by the miners back then. They were worried about being discovered, so they covered them with stone powder from the outside of the wool. This way, the breath of the spiritual stones could be ensured. Leaked. Finally, the stone slab was pressed down and covered with rubble. It even turned this place into a convenient place to avoid being noticed." Beiming said.
"However, the miners who hid the spirit stones were unlucky. They should have died during the mining process. Later, the mine became a waste mine, and the things were left behind, which gave the owner an advantage."
Ye Ming nodded, agreed with Beiming's inference, and said, "Those miners are really pitiful."
"The output of high-grade spiritual stones is very low. Such a large spiritual mine will not be able to produce more than 100 level 4 or above spiritual stones. And these miners hid seven of them at once, which shows that there are many participants. If they had not died back then, they would have become rich because of this." Bei Ming said.
