Chapter 331 High-Level Magic Crystal
When Wu Yan appeared in the Jiefeng Mine Cave, Xing Xiao and other people were splitting up. Half of them were resting and recovering, while the other group were still mining profusely.
Seeing Wu Yan appearing in the mine, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted him respectfully. Wu Yan greeted everyone with a smile, and at the same time asked everyone about their cultivation progress.
These people mined mineral veins during the day and spent very little time resting at night. They spent most of the other time practicing using the spirit stones and Qi-boosting pills that Wu Yan distributed to them. Many people have improved by one or two levels in the past six months. Now I am working harder.
After getting to know Wu Yan, these people became more courageous and would ask Wu Yan for advice on cultivation matters from time to time. Wu Yan did not hide his personal interests, and whenever he felt like it, he would explain some matters needing attention in cultivation to these people, which helped many people benefit a lot and avoid many detours.
You know, these people are either overseas disciples of Tiandao Sect and are not valued by the sect at all. Where would anyone usually guide them in their practice? Others were casual cultivators and had no one to guide them. This time they were lucky enough to meet Wu Yan and receive personal guidance from him. The gratitude each of them felt towards Wu Yan was self-evident.
Even privately, many people are already thinking about whether they should be like Ding Li and become Wu Yan's spiritual slave so that they can stay by his side to practice.
Of course, many people had also heard from Wu Yan. After learning that Wu Yan would not accept disciples, they began to think of being willing to be slaves.
These days, it is simply too difficult to meet a high-level monk like Wu Yan who is approachable and can guide them in their cultivation. How can everyone not be moved?
What made these people quite excited was that Wu Yan did not explicitly refuse, and certainly did not nod in agreement. This gave everyone hope. Therefore, in addition to the overseas disciples of Tiandao Sect, the other twenty or so casual cultivators had discussed with each other many times in private. After the veins were mined, they formally proposed to Wu Yan. He is willing to stay on this island to serve Wu Yan's wishes.
After Wu Yan greeted these people for a while, he was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard several exclamations, "Senior Wu, come and see! High-level magic crystals! They are high-level magic crystals! There are so many!"
Wu Yan's face changed, and his figure instantly crossed a distance of tens of feet and arrived behind Lu Chong and others who were screaming in surprise.
I saw Lu Chong and Yi Qing, each holding a small hammer specially made for mining magic crystal veins, pointing at the dozens of magic crystals on the rock wall that exuded strong magic energy, their faces full of expressions. The color of surprise.
On the rock wall, a small half of the dozens of fist-sized, dark red and crystal-clear magic crystals were quietly exposed. Just now, Lu Chong and Yi Qing hammered down at the same time, knocking off a large piece of black rock, revealing dozens of high-level magic crystals.
Wu Yan touched each of the dozens of magic crystals with his hands, and a smile appeared on his face. Sure enough, they were high-level magic crystals. This mine has been mined for more than half a year, and finally a high-level magic crystal has appeared.
"Congratulations to Senior Wu!" Everyone expressed their joy and congratulated Wu Yan.
Wu Yan nodded with a smile, patted Lu Chong and Yi Qing's shoulders respectively, and said: "Okay, okay! Everyone has contributed today. Each person will add two spiritual stones and a Qi-Building Pill. Lu Chong and Yi Qing, you two are doubling up. Haha, don’t blame me for being stingy. It’s true that my spirit stones and Qi-boosting pills are almost exhausted.”
Everyone had knowing smiles on their faces, and they thanked each other while saying they didn't dare.
Wu Yan did not hesitate, and immediately patted the storage bag, took out ninety low-level spiritual stones and forty-five Qi-replenishing pills, handed them to Lu Chong, and said: "Lu Chong, please give me a share for everyone. I’m going to hunt a killer whale at sea and give you a snack tonight!”
Everyone was overjoyed, laughed happily, and rushed to Lu Chong to receive their rewards.
Wu Yan nodded to everyone. After Lu Chong and others had distributed the spirit stones and Qi-boosting pills, they carefully lifted the fifteen high-level magic crystals from the rock wall. Wu Yan put them away and encouraged everyone. After a few words, he immediately walked out of the cave.
Everyone looked excited and enthusiastically devoted themselves to the task of mining magic crystals.
At this time, in a corner of the cave, Xing Xiao and the Zhou brothers were sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a dozen casual cultivators.
All three of them had sighs on their faces. Xing Xiao's wretched face showed a rare look of seriousness, and he said to the Zhou brothers: "Brother Zhou, you see that the mine will be almost exhausted in two months." , where do you plan to go?”
Zhou Tong and Zhou Ming both looked startled at the same time. The two parties had actually discussed this issue in private for a long time, but it was obvious that the two parties had not discussed this issue together. Zhou Tong thought for a while and said: "What else can we do? Senior Wu is not willing to accept apprentices, nor has he said that he will accept spiritual slaves. We brothers can only return to Xuanwu Island and continue the business of protecting merchants."
When Xing Xiao heard Zhou Tong's words, he laughed and said: "Brother Zhou, why do you say this? Don't you want to follow Senior Wu? According to my observations over the past six months, Senior Wu is really a fellow practitioner of immortals and demons. Although I don't know what happened to Senior Wu that caused his decline, I firmly believe that it won't take long for Senior Wu to regain his cultivation. If he can follow Senior Wu, his future will be bright. . Didn’t Brother Zhou think about it? "
The Zhou brothers looked at each other and nodded secretly. Zhou Tong said, "Brother Xing, we also want to do this. After spending more than half a year together, we have naturally seen that Senior Wu's cultivation level is beyond words. He will recover sooner or later. What's more rare is that Senior Wu is also an upright cultivator who attaches great importance to his promises. If we are lucky enough to follow him to practice, it would be great. But Senior Wu's temperament seems to be the kind of person who likes to be alone, and he may not accept us. Brother Xing, do you have any ideas? If you really have any, we are willing to listen to your instructions and recognize you as the boss in the future, without any hesitation."
Xing Xiao smiled slightly with smugness, then lowered his voice and said to the Zhou brothers, "As for the ideas, I have naturally thought of them. As long as the two brothers Zhou are willing, I will tell you when the time comes."
Zhou Tong and Zhou Ming were delighted at the same time, and they nervously grabbed Xing Xiao's arm and begged. Seeing that Xing Xiao looked like he couldn't let the secret out, Zhou Tong could not understand the old man's intentions. However, he really couldn't think of any way for this old guy to stay by Wu Yan's side. His curiosity was like a cat's paw, so he quietly stuffed a piece of spiritual stone he had just received to Xing Xiao.
Xing Xiao put away the spiritual stone with a chuckle, and then whispered in the ears of the two people: "After more than half a year of observation, I found that Senior Wu's origin is quite mysterious, but I found that Senior Wu is quite unfamiliar with the life on the sea. I guess he is from Yanfu Island and has never been to the sea. I think that as long as Senior Wu wants to gain a foothold in the nearby waters, he must need some people who are familiar with the life on the sea to serve him. At that time, as long as we put it forward, Senior Wu will surely not refuse."
The Zhou brothers showed a look of sudden realization at the same time, and praised Xing Xiao for his carefulness, and at the same time, they deeply agreed with his judgment.
Not to mention that in this cave, a group of casual cultivators were quietly discussing how to stay by Wu Yan's side and continue to practice. After Wu Yan came out of the cave, he flew out of Jieli Island directly. After reaching the sea, he put away the magic weapon and turned into a dark blue shadow, falling into the surging waves.
On the surface of his body, a layer of water-blue membrane floated up, protecting him inside, like a dark blue fish, diving rapidly into the deep water.
In the past six months, Wu Yan's basic skills of "Five Elements Sword Classic" have gradually entered the realm of the twelfth level of Qi Refining. Although it is much slower than the practice of magic skills, it is generally good. Now he can barely stimulate a trace of the power of the dragon scale armor, that is, he can use the dragon breath shield to swim in the water.
After exploring the underwater world, Wu Yan found that this place can indeed be called a desolate sea. There are not even ordinary aquatic monsters. Except for some ordinary fish, there are no spiritual aquatic creatures.
After swimming for a while, Wu Yan caught a killer whale beast that was four or five feet long, carried it out of the sea, and returned to Jieli Island.
That night, the demonic energy protection array valley under Jiefeng was very lively. People built several large fires, roasted the meat of the killer whale beast on the fire and shared it, eating and chatting, so happy and comfortable.
Although the demand for food for cultivators is very low, it is also a very pleasant experience to relax like this occasionally.
After Wu Yan stayed with these people for a few moments, he got up and left, leaving these people to enjoy themselves.
All the way out of the Jiefeng protection array and returning to Lifeng, Wu Yan found that Ding Li was standing on the top of Lifeng, looking in a daze in the northeast direction, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
He did not find that Wu Yan was standing in a dark shadow less than thirty feet away from him, observing him.
The direction Ding Li was looking at was obviously the direction of the Blood Demon Island. Wu Yan saw that he had been forbearing for such a long time, and finally had some real expressions and emotions, but in that expression, it seemed that there was some long-suppressed desire hidden.
It seems that this person is also waiting for the time to return to Blood Demon Island.
Wu Yan frowned slightly, with a bad premonition in his heart. However, he had no intention of letting Ding Li discover him. After a little hesitation, he quietly left.
Ding Li, who was standing on the top of Lifeng Mountain, muttered to himself in an imperceptible voice not long after Wu Yan left: "When I return to Blood Demon Island and find Master Xuelian of the Blood Sun Palace, I'm sure he will be quite interested in the magic crystals mined here. Humph, humph, they actually mined high-level magic crystals. I'm afraid even the great elders of the Blood Sun Palace will be interested, right? But I'm afraid that Master Xuelian will get the better deal this time. Although he's ruthless, he's always trustworthy. Those elders of the Blood Sun Palace are all ruthless guys, so I won't provoke them. As long as I can get a magic soul stone from Master Xuelian, I won't have to be afraid of your soul-binding methods. By then, hehe..."
