Chapter 1386 Digging Three Feet Deep
When Xiao Mian entered the cellar, he was really stunned.
Although Xiao Mian had prepared himself mentally before entering the cellar.
But seeing the mountains and seas of spiritual stones, Xiao Mian still had difficulty breathing.
All of them were top-grade spiritual stones, countless!
A rough estimate shows that there were tens of millions of top-grade spiritual stones in the cellar!
Now, he was really rich...
Closing his mouth, Xiao Mian waved his sleeves and began to move the spiritual stones.
Pieces of top-grade spiritual stones, under Xiao Mian's control, fell into his arms and came to the door.
Gradually, one after another, the best storage bags were filled...
Fortunately, Xiao Mian had too many top-grade storage bags to count, otherwise, he would have to find another way - after all, there were too many top-grade spiritual stones here!
Halfway through the transportation, Xiao Mian realized that there were not only spiritual stones in the cellar.
There was a platform in the center of the cellar.
There was a gourd on the platform, standing alone.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Mian handed the task of collecting spirit stones to Hei Bu, stepped out, came to the platform, and looked at the gourd carefully.
The gourd was only the size of a palm, emerald green, and crystal clear.
Other than that, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
But if this little gourd was really normal, why would Xiang Liuqing take it so seriously?
Thinking about it again, Xiao Mian had new doubts.
Xiang Liuming stored such a large amount of high-quality spirit stones in the cellar and created a secret room with a very high concentration of spiritual energy, probably just for this little gourd!
In other words, this little gourd is still a semi-finished product, not mature!
Xiang Liuqing tried to ripen the gourd with the spiritual light emitted by the spirit stone.
But obviously, the result did not seem ideal...
The growth of the little gourd was almost stagnant, to put it bluntly, it was dying!
Xiang Liuqing was at least a Yuanying ancestor, the master of a sect. How could the thing he cared so much about be an ordinary thing?
Even if it is really useless, Xiao Mian will not let it go!
Thinking of Xiang Liuqing returning to Luohua Valley and seeing the scene of the spirit stones being looted and the gourd being uprooted, Xiao Mian felt very relieved.
At that moment, without saying a word, Xiao Mian reached out and grabbed the gourd and picked it up.
Xiao Mian was throbbing when the gourd was in his hand.
Before Xiao Mian could think about it, the palm-sized gourd actually searched the ground and drilled into the fairy stone space in Xiao Mian's body...
Hey!
It's really a treasure!
Otherwise, how could it be recognized by the fairy stone?
But now that he is in danger, Xiao Mian has no time to check it carefully.
After taking all the top-grade spirit stones in the cellar, Xiao Mian took the black cloth and the scent-seeking beast and returned to the original route and withdrew from the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Seeing those exquisite flower bans again, Xiao Mian had some new insights.
Since Xiang Liuqing is not in Luohua Valley, why should he be polite?
Standing in front of the Hundred Flowers Palace, the poisonous relics in Xiao Mian's body were running wildly.
The rapidly rotating poisonous relic was like an eye of the storm.
A huge attraction spread out from Xiao Mian's body, sweeping across the entire Linglong Flower Forbidden Area.
The mysterious fragrances covering the Linglong Flower Forbidden Area were attracted and gathered towards Xiao Mian, just like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.
The poisonous relic was like an insatiable glutton, demanding everything.
In the end, the flowers and plants outside the Hundred Flowers Palace gradually withered...
Seeing the poisonous relic in his body grow a circle, Xiao Mian was satisfied.
Those mysterious fragrances, although not of high grade, were great in number.
A large amount of fragrance gathered in the small poisonous relic, forcibly expanding the poisonous relic by three points, and even the spiritual eye was greatly increased in power.
Feeling satisfied, Xiao Mian wiped it clean and turned into a shadow and left...
Besides, this Linglong Flower Forbidden Area was originally the first forbidden area in Luohua Valley.
How could Luohua Valley not know about such a big change?
However, when the whole Luohua Valley was alarmed, it was too late.
At this time, Xiao Mian had already escaped from Luohua Valley. After leaving Luohua Valley, Xiao Mian headed north and rushed away.
Before the chaos in Luohua Valley, Xiao Mian vaguely got the whereabouts of Xiang Liuqing.
Xiang Liuqing was not in Luohua Valley, but in Huoyun Ridge!
Could this old fox want to harm Huoyun Ridge?
Huoyun Ridge has Huang Yan in charge, and Xiang Liuqing alone would not dare to act presumptuously.
Could it be... could it be that even he was involved?
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian was more and more eager to return home.
Huoyun Ridge's foundation was Xiao Mian's attempt to revive the future of Nanyue Province. No matter who it was, Xiao Mian would not allow them to get involved in Huoyun Ridge!
Xiang Liuqing was not allowed!
Dan Qiusheng was not allowed!
After a day and night of rapid driving, Xiao Mian finally arrived at Huoyun Ridge.
Sure enough, Huoyun Ridge was on full alert at this time.
However, it was not Xiang Liuqing or Dan Qiusheng who invaded Huoyun Ridge.
The one who was confronting Huang Yan was also an old acquaintance of Xiao Mian - Mu Shangbai!
After being forced out of the Five Elements Sect by Xiao Mian that day, Mu Shangbai had been living in seclusion in Nanyue Province. He survived the great heavenly tribulation and became the Yuanying Patriarch without making any noise.
A few years ago, after the scholar led the Nanyue Legion to the East China Sea, the high-level cultivators in Nanyue Province were emptied, and Mu Shangbai had the courage to surface again.
Of course, he did not dare to hang out in Wanzong City.
After a few visits, Mu Shangbai hooked up with Luohua Valley.
This time, Mu Shangbai came to test Huoyun Ridge at the instruction of Xiang Liuqing.
The reason why Xiang Liuqing came along was to see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of.
Xiang Liuqing, who thought he was a step ahead, probably never thought that his old nest had been emptied by Xiao Mian...
Let's talk about Huang Yan and Mu Shangbai. They fought each other and were evenly matched.
The two of them had similar time to pass the tribulation and their cultivation was similar, but when it comes to foundation, Huang Yan is not as stable as Mu Shangbai.
It's a pity that Xiao Mian has never treated Huang Yan unfairly since he followed him.
Huang Yan's magic weapons made up for the shortcomings.
Even Huang Yan had a slight advantage.
Mu Shangbai was not in a hurry - he knew that Xiang Liuqing was here too.
Xiang Liuqing was also not in a hurry - he knew that there was still one person who hadn't shown up!
Dan Qiusheng, Dan Qiusheng!
Are you going to watch me destroy Huoyun Ridge, or are you going to stand up for Xiao Mian and compete with me?
Huoyun Ridge is nominally the other residence of the Five Elements Sect after all!
Although the organization in charge of Huoyunling is called Jingzhe, the entire South Vietnam cultivation world regards Jingzhe as Xiao Mian's property.
The news that Mu Shangbai invaded Huoyunling has spread.
The Five Elements Sect is not far from Huoyunling, and Dan Qiusheng cannot be unaware of this.
Or, he intends to pretend to be ignorant and let himself flatten Huoyunling?
Humph!
Never mind!
Let me add fuel to the fire and see the quality of Huoyunling!
With a determined mind, Xiang Liuqing finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative.
Xiang Liuqing did not attack Huoyunling, but only intercepted Huang Yan.
Taking advantage of the gap, Mu Shangbai bypassed Huang Yan and rushed to Huoyunling.
"Damn it! Valley Master Xiang, what do you mean by this?" Huang Yan held Xiang Liuqing's colorful sword and asked loudly: "Could it be that Luohua Valley wants to attack Huoyun Ridge?"
"No! No! I am not here to represent Luohua Valley, but to help Fellow Daoist Mu Shangbai as a personal figure!"
"Hmph! Help? I think it's helping the tyrant, right?"
"Fellow Daoist Huang! Don't talk nonsense! Fellow Daoist Mu is here to avenge Xiao Mian, a kid who didn't condense his infant, not to cause trouble for you Huoyun Ridge! This is a personal grudge between Fellow Daoist Mu and Xiao Mian, Fellow Daoist Huang, let's not get involved!"
"..."
Xiang Liuqing said he would not get involved, but he actually tripped Huang Yan up.
If Xiao Mian was here, even if Mu Shangbai had the courage, he wouldn't dare to come to his door.
Even if Mu Shangbai has successfully condensed his infant, the various legends about Xiao Mian have already spread throughout Nanyue.
Xiang Liuqing instigated Mu Shangbai to go to Huoyunling because he was sure that Xiao Mian was not in Huoyunling, or even in Nanyuezhou.
It was called a personal grudge, but it was actually a deliberate revenge.
Huang Yan knew that Xiang Liuqing was not a good person, but facing Mu Shangbai, Huang Yan could still have some advantages, but facing Xiang Liuqing, Huang Yan could only protect himself.
Huang Yan's skills, even the flying sword magic weapon, are all earth attribute.
On the other hand, Xiang Liuqing is the current master of Luohua Valley with a good background.
Just like the Five Elements Sect is proficient in the Five Elements Taoism, most of the disciples of Luohua Valley have spiritual roots of water, wood, and earth.
The Xiang family lineage has the majority of spiritual roots of wood attribute.
Xiang Liuqing is even a cultivator with a natural spiritual root of wood attribute!
The five elements of wood overcome earth, and Xiang Liuqing is the master of a sect, and his magic weapon equipment is even better than Huang Yan.
Xiang Liuqing, who usually hides his true power, suppressed Huang Yan so that he could not speak.
As for Mu Shangbai who rushed into Huoyun Ridge, Huang Yan was powerless...
Fortunately, there were still some Jindan cultivators in Huoyun Ridge.
Facing the more than ten Jindan cultivators who formed a formation, Mu Shangbai did not dare to be careless - if he was not careful, he would capsize in the gutter.
Remembering Xiang Liuqing's previous instructions, Mu Shangbai followed the plan.
"Everyone! All of you fellows in Nanyue are from the same background as Mu. We are free cultivators. What we value most is freedom. When have we ever been bound? This Huoyun Ridge and even its behind-the-scenes mastermind Jingzhe intend to stir up trouble in my Nanyue Province. Fellows, you must not be fooled by them? Today! Mu will reveal the true face of Huoyun Ridge in front of you and give you a warning! Please get out of the way!"
Mu Shangbai's kind words of advice put those Jindan cultivators in a dilemma.
These Jindan cultivators had a favorable impression of Huoyun Ridge.
But it seemed uneconomical to offend the wrath of a Yuanying ancestor for this reason. This thought was not shared by everyone, but it had already occurred to them.
Under Mu Shangbai's threatening stare, some people gradually began to waver.
After a short while, a small half of the gathered Jindan cultivators left.
Although the remaining majority of Jindan cultivators had not left, they no longer had any deterrent power. Even if they joined forces, they could no longer threaten Mu Shangbai.
Mu Shangbai laughed loudly and disappeared.
He did not come here to find Xiao Mian.
According to the agreement with Xiang Liuqing in advance, as long as Mu Shangbai destroyed Huoyun Ridge, Luohua Valley would give Mu Shangbai an astonishing amount of spirit stones as commission.
You can vent your anger and make a profit, so why not?
As for the risks, Mu Shangbai never thought about it at all...
While Xiang Liuqing was entangled with Huang Yan, Mu Shangbai began to destroy.
At the same time, a person came from Biluo Peak, thousands of miles away from Huoyun Ridge.
A stream of water and fire colors descended from the sky and turned into a Taoist monk.
Facing the tombstone under the acacia tree, the Taoist monk sighed quietly.
"Junior sister! You and I are destined to be together!" As he spoke, the monk in Taoist robes turned around and faced Huoyunling—it was none other than Danqiu Sheng, the head of the Five Elements Sect!
Looking at Huoyunling thousands of miles away, Danqiu Sheng muttered to himself.
"Junior sister! You have a good disciple! What a pity! He is too ambitious! If I had known this would happen, I would have fed the Dao Dan to the dogs! Fortunately, he still has some conscience! He actually brought back the lost "Five Elements Code" of our sect, thanks to him!"
Halfway through his words, Danqiu Sheng kept silent.
The Taoist robe on his body was windless and sharp, and a powerful aura emanated from it.
Nascent Soul Intermediate Stage!
Danqiu Sheng, relying on the convenience of comprehending the "Five Elements Code", closed his eyes for several years, broke through the confinement of the initial stage of the Nascent Soul in one fell swoop, and entered the Nascent Soul Intermediate Stage.
If this matter gets out, Xiang Liuqing will have a headache...
The aura around him was released and then retracted, and Dan Qiusheng talked to himself again.
"In time, if I can integrate the "Five Elements Sword Canon" and the "Five Elements Law Canon", I will be able to practice both sword and law and enter the ranks of high-level Yuanying cultivators! By then, given Senior Shang's indecisive nature, he will definitely hand over the position of the Supreme! I will be the first person under Wan Zong Sheng, and after Wan Zong Sheng dies in the future, I will be the Heavenly Venerable! Junior sister! It's a pity that you can't see it! Master! Have you ever calculated this result? Humph!"
A cold snort passed, and the air on the top of Biluo Peak stagnated.
"Now the only variable is that kid..."
As he said this, Dan Qiusheng looked at Huoyunling with a fierce look.
At this time, Huoyunling was like a flame that was about to be extinguished by ice water.
Dan Qiusheng just watched quietly, indifferent.
What Five Elements Sect's villa is nothing but a trivial matter!
If Dan Qiusheng really achieves the status of a Heavenly Venerable in the future, even the Five Elements Sect will not be in his eyes...
In a trance, Dan Qiusheng seemed to foresee the scene of him challenging the Ten Thousand Sects Holy Temple.
Suddenly, his figure trembled, and Dan Qiusheng's face changed slightly.
Not far from the Biluo Peak, a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation was becoming more and more intense and stronger...
It was as if some powerful beast was about to escape.
The next moment, a flame shot up into the sky.
Dan Qiusheng looked intently and saw a huge mountain of fire, gushing out from deep underground, burning fiercely, and smashing towards the direction of Huoyun Ridge.
In great shock, Dan Qiusheng set up a light of escape and followed it all the way.
As soon as the water and fire dual-color light of escape left, Xiao Mian cancelled the shadow escape.
Xiao Mian was already there long before Dan Qiusheng reached the top of Biluo Peak...
Bowed to Leng Ningyu's tombstone, Xiao Mian stood up and sighed quietly.
"Master! What should I do to live up to your efforts?"
No one answered at the top of Biluo Peak...
