Chapter 720: Retreat, Cultivate, Ignorance, and Shock! (First Update, 3,600 Chapters)

In a palace in Endless Mountain, the old lady of Ganshan gave orders to several elders in the integration stage.

"In the next period of time, I will be in seclusion, and the affairs inside the door will depend on you." The old lady Ganshan said with a majestic air.

"I obey! But how long will senior sister be in seclusion?" asked an elder in the integration stage.

"One year at most. If anything happens during this period, you can send me a message at any time. I will take the time to check." Old lady Ganshan said.

"Senior Sister, there is one more thing. Senior Brother Chen has now left seclusion and often walks around the door. How should we face him?" asked another elder who was in the middle stage of integration.

"Same as before. I will warn him. I will not leave Juelong Ridge before I leave the customs." Old lady Ganshan replied.

"That's it, I'll be fine. Senior sister, please feel free to retreat."

"In that case, go ahead."

"Farewell!"

After everyone left, a man walked in, it was Chen Xiaotian.

"Hua Yun, do you want to retreat?" he asked with concern on his face.

"That's right. Don't leave Juelong Ridge before I leave. Wait until I come back to avoid misunderstanding among the elders in the sect." Old lady Ganshan said with a serious face.

"No problem. I won't leave Juelong Ridge." Chen Xiaotian nodded and agreed.

Then he hesitated and said: "By the way, I came here to ask you for the Heart of the Wood Spirit. I took the Heshen Pill, but I felt that its potency was still a little short of the fire, and it was not enough for me to break through to the body. Stage seven. If you can conquer the heart of the wood spirit, you will succeed."

The old lady Ganshan was silent for a moment and said: "The heart of the wood spirit is gone. Just wait. Let's digest the power of this Heshen Pill first."

"Why is it gone? Who used it?" Chen Xiaotian asked in surprise.

The Heart of the Wood Spirit is a treasure of the Endless Mountain, and it must be used on very important people.

He is now about to break through to the late stage of integration, which is naturally the most important thing for Wushan Mountain at the moment. Who can be more important than him?

"You don't have to worry about it, it's gone anyway. Just wait." The old lady Ganshan said expressionlessly.

"Is that Mingji leaving?" Chen Xiaotian was silent for a moment and asked tentatively.

"No need to say more, you go ahead. Remember, don't leave Juelong Ridge before I leave the customs." Old lady Ganshan said coldly.

"I will." Chen Xiaotian sighed, turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Mrs. Ganshan showed a trace of hesitation on her face and said calmly: "Don't worry, Zong Nei is looking for another elixir, and there will be results within a year or two."

"Thank you." Chen Xiaotian paused, and then left quickly.

Yu Guihai returned to the sect and placed the five-element spiritual object he had just obtained in front of him.

Moon Silver, Immersed Gold Stone, Earth Spirit Root, Wood Spirit Heart, Nightmare-free Heavy Water.

There are already four types of these five spiritual beings: metal, wood, water, and earth. There is only one fire-based spiritual being that has not yet been identified. However, with the help of Endless Mountain, it is estimated that clues will be found soon.

Among these kinds of spiritual objects, in addition to the earth spirit roots, the number of other three attributes of spiritual objects is also sufficient, and we can start to refine and upgrade the three kinds of ghost objects.

However, the Five Fire Ghost Flags are a set of treasures. At their current level, they are deeply involved with each other, and every move will affect the connection between them.

Therefore, Yu Guihai is not going to upgrade three kinds of ghosts in advance. He will wait until he collects five kinds of ghosts in the future, and then the five kinds of ghosts will be upgraded together.

Afterwards, he put away these Five Elements Spirit Ghosts, and then went to the Lianyin Peak Cave to take away all the Five Elements Spirit Ghosts that could no longer be improved. There is no need to waste Yin Qi here in vain.

Next, Yu Guihai went deep into Jianchu, practiced quietly every day, and silently improved his cultivation.

Juelong Ridge, by the small lake, two people were fishing quietly.

One of them is Chen Xiaotian, the owner of this place, and the other is an ancestor who worships money.

"Brother Chen, your cultivation speed is a little slow. It seems that it is still unclear whether you can advance to the late stage of integration." The money-worshiping ancestor was fishing, his face was gloomy, and his heart could not calm down at all.

Chen Xiaotian was full of confidence before, but after taking the Heshen Pill, he didn't make much progress. He was still a little far away from breaking through to the seventh level of the combined stage. With the medicine's power exhausted, it was already difficult to break through.

As a result, their investment was quite a failure.

As time is delayed and variables increase, who knows when the old lady from Ganshan will tell Mingji.

Second, if you are not careful, this guy may not be able to break through, and then it will really be all in vain.

"Haha, senior brother, don't blame me. I originally planned to get the Wood Spirit Heart in the door, but I didn't expect that a few days ago, Ancestor Mingji suddenly came to the door and asked for this treasure. This caused me to fail in time. Give it your all.”

Chen Xiaotian explained with a smile, then he looked at the money-worshiping ancestor and said, "However, if senior brother can help me get a spiritual elixir of the Wood Spirit Heart level, I will definitely be able to break through on time."

"Brother Chen, don't you think you are too greedy?" the money-worshiping ancestor said sarcastically.

In order to get this guy to cooperate, their four sects were bleeding a lot, and the treasures used to refine the Heshen Pill were all extremely precious and top elixirs. Coupled with the large amount of auxiliary elixirs and elixirs extorted by this guy, their value is immeasurable.

Unexpectedly, this guy is now ready to ask for treasures such as the Wood Spirit Heart.

He only had one sentence, it was impossible!

"If you don't give it to me, forget it. Anyway, it's only one or two years. Ganshan told me personally that the sect is helping me get a spiritual medicine, which will definitely help me break through." Seeing his firm attitude, Chen Xiaotian didn't dare to force him. If he turned against him, it would not be good for him now.

"One or two years? The possibility of an accident is too great!" The face of the old ancestor Baijin was gloomy.

"Don't worry, brother. My old woman is in seclusion and won't come out for one or two years. It's impossible for her to leak the matter of Wuling Lake." Chen Xiaotian smiled faintly and explained.

"That's good." The old ancestor Baijin breathed a sigh of relief.

One or two years is not too late, after all, Wuling Lake will not be opened for another ten years.

The reputation of Yunmiao Mountain is spreading more and more in the Five Spirits Realm, and many lower-level mortals know about such a large sect from another world.

This is due to the contributions of the other four immortal sects besides Wujin Mountain.

Since the matter of Yunmiao Mountain could no longer be concealed, they maliciously discredited the reputation of Yunmiao Mountain among the lower mortals.

They described it as an evil sect that treated mortals as pigs and dogs, and even killed people for blood sacrifices at will. It frightened all mortals.

As a result, countless refugees who could not survive in the Western Continent were unwilling to go to Yunmiao Mountain to make a living.

However, Yunmiao Mountain also had a countermeasure for this. First, they asked Wujin Mountain to help with positive publicity and successfully saved some of the situation.

Secondly, Yu Guihai suggested that the sect organized a large number of refugees who had previously surrendered to Yunmiao Mountain to return to the Western Continent to tell their stories and describe the generosity and compassion of the immortals of Yunmiao Mountain and the beautiful life of the people of Yunmiao Mountain.

Soon, many refugees were moved by this propaganda. They compared themselves with the bright and beautiful returning villagers and immediately made up their minds to move their families to the Yunmiao Mountain area.

By this means, many human towns and villages were slowly built in the vast area controlled by Yunmiao Mountain, and it was no longer so desolate.

However, with more people, there are more things to do.

The vast area of ​​Yunmiao Mountain is full of mountains and valleys, where there are some remnant monsters hiding. In addition, in some wild places where spiritual energy gathers, many local monsters and ghosts are beginning to breed.

Although there are Yunmiao Mountain masters patrolling and exterminating, such a large area can only clean up the areas around human towns. It is impossible to sweep all the vast wilderness.

As a result, evil creatures often break into human settlements to stir up trouble and kill people.

The disciples of Yunmiao Mountain are getting busier and busier.

Fortunately, Yunmiao Mountain vigorously promotes the way of cultivation among mortals. Every human settlement has local cultivation forces, which bear most of the pressure.

Baiyujing, as a city on a high mountain, has a very harsh environment around it, a cold climate, and it is difficult to develop planting. The survival of local humans mainly depends on the minerals here.

There are many mines in the surrounding mountains, mining various minerals.

Among them, there is a large spiritual iron mine in the deep mountains thousands of miles away from Baiyujing.

Spiritual iron is the main material for refining magic tools. If a large amount of spiritual iron essence is consumed and extracted, it can even be used as a material for refining magic weapons.

So its value is still very high.

After Yunmiao Mountain explored this thing, people were sent to mine it, and a small fortress was built here, and a Yuantai period strongman was sent to sit in charge, who was specifically responsible for mining.

After more than a year of excavation, the spiritual iron mine cave has been dug several hundred meters deep. Because there are magic tool-level excavation tools, the speed is not slow.

In one of the deepest mines, a disciple of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage is mining with six inner Qi realm warriors.

The six inner Qi warriors each hold a mining pick with a flashing spiritual light, digging in the mine with great enthusiasm. Once the mining pick goes down, it will emit a strong wave and dig a large area of ​​ore.

The Qi Refining Stage disciple sits aside, closes his eyes and meditates, and the immortal method is running, constantly restoring his own spiritual energy.

From time to time, a warrior would come to him when the aura of his mining hoe dimmed. The Qi Refining Stage disciple would then infuse the aura into the mining hoe, and the mining hoe would begin to glow again.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

A warrior hoeed down and seemed to hit the refined steel. The huge recoil force bounced his hoe directly out of his hand and flew out, almost hitting his own people.

"What are you doing?" The warrior who was almost hit glared and shouted angrily.

"There is something here." The warrior did not apologize, but looked at the place where he had just mined vigilantly, with a solemn expression.

"What is it?" The people around him stopped their mining hoes and came over, and the Qi Refining Stage disciple also stood up and walked over.

"I don't know, but it's very hard, and it directly broke my hoe!" The warrior shook his head.

"We'll know if we dig it up." A warrior said nonchalantly, took a step forward, and dug up a layer of stone on the surface with a few shovels in his hand, revealing a dark round object underneath, like an upside-down pot.

"What is this, brother?" A warrior asked the Qi Refining disciple.

"I don't know either, maybe it's a high-level spiritual ore. Hurry up and dig it up from the side!" The Qi Refining disciple ordered with his eyes brightened.

"High-level spiritual ore?" Several people were all surprised. If they could really find a high-level spiritual ore, the sect's reward would be enough to make them crazy.

Several warriors immediately waved their hoes and dug from the side. After a while, they dug up the ground of several meters in radius. Under the ground, there was a dark object extending to the surrounding stone walls.

This object was round, with a smooth surface and extremely black, and it didn't look like an ore.

"This is not a mineral vein. The four of you stay here, and the two of you follow me and report it immediately!"

The Qi Refining Disciple observed it solemnly for a while, gave an order, and turned around with two people and left.

The remaining four people stayed in the mine cave. They lowered their heads and watched carefully, occasionally chatting a few words, guessing the details of this thing, and looking forward to the rewards they might get after reporting it.

At this time, one of them suddenly screamed.

"Come and see." He was surprised and pointed to the ground.

The other three hurried over and looked down, only to see a black shadow appear on the ground. The face could not be seen, and there was no fluctuation, just like a simple shadow.

However, the four people soon found that there was not much, because only that person had a shadow under his feet. The other three did not. This means that this shadow was not cast by their own people.

What is that?

The four looked at each other, and their bodies retreated at the same time!

Boom~~~

The four people hit the stone wall one after another, and when they looked back, the original cave entrance suddenly turned into a dark stone wall.

The light in the field of vision quickly disappeared, and darkness was everywhere.

"Ah~Ah~~"

Soon, a few shrill screams flashed by, and the darkness became dead silent.
