Daoist Xiao, Why Do You Look So Unhappy?

Spirit Origin Grand Hall, in the apse.

Spirit Origin Sect Grand Elder Yao Dehai, is communicating with the other Elder of the Spirit Origin Sect: "There are two lists here, everyone should read them again."

"The above materials are available, and they are all Li Province's famous masters."

"The following is the roster that I have informed you about in advance. Stronghold will be assigned to the rear later. Please do not take them to the front."

Demon Slayer Hall Elder Gu Qiuling frowned. "Since these people are greedy for life and afraid of death, why come He Province."

"How long has it been since this happened? I still like to play this trick."

"Do they think fighting against the Divine Fire Sect is just playing house?"

Yao Dehai instead persuaded calmly, "Junior Sister Gu, this is an acquaintance, please understand."

"I'll try my best to place these people in a more remote place later. At least they can take care of some spiritual mines. It's better than nothing."

"Okay, everyone, get ready. Let's go out and pick people one by one."

The front hall was already filled with monks from Li Province. Everyone came forward to re-register their names and received two brand-new Cloud Crystal Talisman.

Cloud Crystal Talisman is the special Talisman Making weapon used to fight against Soul Chasing Shuttle.

Spirit Origin Sect also said that Talisman Making's method is posted on the wall. If you can't wait for the next ration, you can make it yourself.

Xiao Chen also turned around and looked at it again. Even though he didn't know Talisman Making, it didn't stop him from memorizing the formula first.

Then monks from the Spirit Origin Sect came out and, under the auspices of Yao Dehai, took away different monks from front to back.

Liu Feng was assigned to Seeking Plum Mountain, and Zhu Hui was assigned to Falling Goose Mountain.

Both of them were very happy, that's what they came for.

Old Feng was also assigned to Falling Goose Mountain, but he showed a wry smile.

He is already old and does not want to go to the front line as soon as he comes up.

On the contrary, the casual cultivator who said that just taking a Foundation Establishment pill was actually assigned to the more critical Spirit Herb Garden at the rear.

The expression on his face wasn't very good either, but he didn't object and was ready to wait for the rotation.

Soon it was the turn of the last row.

Gu Qiuling, who was late, took a look at the roster and immediately frowned again.

She saw Chen Zhi'an and Xiao Chen. These two names were the people who had been told before that they could not be taken to the front line.

And the Looking Swallow Mountain she was responsible for happened to be in a relatively dangerous area.

"Looking Swallow Mountain We still need some manpower. Fellow Daoist on the left, please follow me this way."

Gu Qiuling picked the left side, then pointed at Xiao Chen: "Don't go to the one on the far left. Cyan Sun Spirit Mine is short of someone, so just go there and guard the spirit mine."

In her heart, she despises such monks who rely on their Lineage connections to come here to be gilded.

So I didn't even miss the name and used the one on the far left to refer to it.

Xiao Chen heard this and recalled yesterday's Water Curtain map. Cyan Sun Spirit Mine is six hundred miles away from Falling Goose Mountain. It is Stronghold that has certain value but is not very critical.

Isn't this a little remote?

He actually wants to go to Looking Swallow Mountain and quickly accumulate military exploits to become Demon Slayer Guard as soon as possible.

So he tentatively asked, "Can someone else please replace me?"

Gu Qiuling glared at him coldly.

She thought Xiao Chen wanted to go to the rear, and she felt very contemptuous: Cyan Sun Spirit Mine didn't dare to go on a mission that was not dangerous at all. What a coward.

The tone was quite impatient. "If you are not satisfied, you can wait for the rotation. If everyone wanted to change tasks like you, wouldn't it be chaos?"

After saying that, he turned around and strode away from the Spirit Origin Grand Hall.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. The other party seemed to be inexplicably hostile to him.

Since he didn't know that Elder Chen had greeted him, he didn't quite understand what was going on.

Forget it, no matter what she thinks. Looking Swallow Mountain Missing him is definitely their loss.

Xiao Chen has already thought about it before Flying Boat. This will be a protracted battle for resources. You can take your time and take your time.

The Shou Ling Mine is the Shou Ling Mine, and there will be rotations in the future anyway.

And this is not bad. He is new here, so it would be good to go to Stronghold first to familiarize himself with the environment of He Province.

After he becomes Demon Slayer Guard, there will be many opportunities to get Points.

Cyan Sun County.

The largest local Foundation Establishment Family Chang Family and the patriarch Chang Shunping prepared a banquet at home in advance.

Then we went sixty miles out of the city and waited on Cyan Sun Peak in advance.

He had already inquired that Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Li Province would arrive at the Spirit Origin Sect today.

So I wanted to have a banquet for this new neighbor, so that if there are any wandering demon cultivators, we can help each other.

Xiao Chen had just arrived at Cyan Sun Peak, and saw the other party welcoming him enthusiastically. He took the initiative to introduce his identity and said that he would help him clean up his troubles.

He declined the other party's invitation. "Daoist Chang, I have to take over the spiritual mine first. I will do it next time."

Now that you have received the mission, of course you have to do your part.

Cyan Sun Spirit Mine Just behind Cyan Sun Peak, there is a kind of spiritual material called Cyan Sun Stone, which is the best Artifact Refining Material.

It is precisely for this reason that the nearby river was also named Cyan Sun River.

There are nearly a hundred Qi Refining Cultivators in the Ling Mine all year round, including eleven Late-Stage Qi Refinings and the rest mostly Mid-stage Qi Refining Realms.

Today, it was rare that no work started. Instead, everyone gathered in the center of the mine, waiting for the arrival of the new manager.

However, Xiao Chen didn't ask much about the specific mining tasks, and just asked them to mine in the original way.

His main focus was on how to fight against the demonic cultivators.

"Does this still work?"

Xiao Chen Looking at the severely worn array plate in front of him, he felt a little suspicious that this thing had failed.

When Cyan Sun Spirit Mine was established, there was a Warning Formation on the periphery, which could attract monks passing by Inspector.

But now it seems that this thing has not been replaced for at least several decades, and it is probably just a decoration now.

He tried to inject a Law Power, but the array plate had no response.

Only one line lit up for a moment, then flickered several times, then went out again.

"Okay, it seems that Warning Formation can't be counted on, and I have to rely on myself."

Xiao Chen shook his head, and then walked around Cyan Sun Spirit Mine to get familiar with the landforms here.

Finally, I chose a high point with the best view overlooking the whole situation as my place to stay.

There are two Qi Refining Cultivator who are responsible for the construction of the mine. It only took one day to build a brand new courtyard, and they even thought about expanding it.

However, Xiao Chen took the initiative to simplify everything and eliminate useless rockeries and ponds.

He's not here for a vacation. He'll be leaving in three months, so there's no need to do all those fancy things.

After settling on the residence, he took out Yellow Wind Flowing Sand Formation and Formation Flag and laid them out in advance according to the array diagram.

Although I am very confident in my own combat power, the more preparations, the better.

Halfway through, Chang Shunping came to invite me again.

But Xiao Chen was busy decorating Yellow Wind Flowing Sand Formation, so he declined again on the grounds of tidying up his residence.

.

On the third day, Chang Shunping came again.

This time, he simply brought a large team of people, carrying more than a hundred food boxes, and directly invited the entire Cyan Sun Spirit Mine monks to have a meal together.

A table was also brought and sixty-six dishes were placed in Xiao Chen's courtyard.

There are everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water.

"Daoist Xiao, please don't dislike it for some simple meals."

Chang Shunping smiled very kindly, "This is our Cyan Sun County's special recipe, and you can't even eat it outside."

He was so enthusiastic that Xiao Chen felt embarrassed. "Daoist Chang, you are spending too much money."

If I read it correctly, the three-foot-six-inch long Spirit Fish in the middle of the table is the second-order Peach Blossom Carp.

One of the few Second-Order Spirit Fishs that can be farmed.

Judging from the size, if it does not have a hundred kilograms, it must be ninety kilograms.

The cost of this Peach Blossom Carp alone is at least two hundred Spirit Stone.

In fact, this is already the third article.

Since Xiao Chen didn't come to the banquet the first two times, the first two were eventually eaten by the people in Chang Lineage.

The reason why Chang Shunping is willing to pay such a high cost is that it must have a relationship with Xiao Chen.

It's because recently, traces of demonic cultivators appeared in Qiu Ping County, not far from Cyan Sun.

Although judging from the situation at hand, it seems that they want to take action against Spirit Vein there.

But this kind of thing is uncertain. If the other party turns around and comes Cyan Sun, Chang Family will be in trouble.

Xiao Chen and Chang Shunping chatted while eating and got a general understanding of the Chang Family's situation.

At first glance, he felt that Chang Family was a bit similar to the Su Family. After asking carefully, he found that it was far inferior to the Su Family.

There are two Foundation Establishment Cultivators in this generation of the Chang Family. The eldest brother Chang Shunping has Foundation Establishment Stage 6, and the second brother Chang Shunan also has Foundation Establishment Stage 3.

Logically speaking, this is pretty good.

But once He Province has a large number of monks, the competition becomes more intense.

Secondly, although Chang Shunping didn't say it directly, Xiao Chen could tell that the two brothers were not strong.

They are similar to Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Su Family. They benefited from the protection of their elders since childhood and gradually abandoned their cultivation.

Currently, both of them are stuck in their current state, and have been stuck for more than thirty years.

In fact, from another place, we can also see that Chang Family is not strong.

Cyan Sun Spirit Mine was so close to them, and as a result, Chang Family did not receive even half of the dividend from the spiritual mine. The entire spiritual mine was the asset of the Spirit Origin Sect.

On the other hand, South Lake, before Xiao Chen received dividends, was completely owned by the Su Family.

This time Divine Fire Sect invaded, Spirit Origin Sect summoned the Foundation Establishment Family in the territory to jointly resist the evil cultivators.

Therefore, Chang Family now only has one Foundation Establishment, Chang Shunping, to take care of the family business and cultivate the next generation.

Moreover, due to lack of manpower at the beginning, Spirit Origin Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who was originally stationed at Cyan Sun Spirit Mine, was transferred to the Seeking Plum Mountain front line.

Chang Shunping Looking around, there is not even a single helper within a hundred miles.

For more than a year, when he thought that someday a wandering demon cultivator might attack Chang Family, he felt worried and afraid at the same time.

So seeing Xiao Chen coming, it was like seeing the savior coming.

Especially after learning that Xiao Chen is already Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, I was even more excited.

"Daoist Xiao, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. I've been really on tenterhooks these days."

Chang Shunping held up the wine glass, with a blushing face. "Qiu Ping has always had rampant demonic cultivators. I heard that a large group of demonic cultivators came in from Looking Swallow Mountain some time ago."

"The world is not peaceful!"

"Thanks Daoist Xiao for coming. If anything happens, we can take care of each other."

"Come here and give me a drink, fellow Daoist."

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he became a little suspicious. "Daoist Chang, why didn't I hear any relevant news before I came here?"

Chang Shunping lowered his voice and whispered, "To be honest with you fellow Daoist, I have a friend working in the Hui Dong Merchant Guild, and this is the news he told me."

Xiao Chen was confused. "I wonder who this Hui Dong Merchant Guild is?"

"Oh, look at my brain, I have forgotten that Daoist Xiao is from Li Province."

Chang Shunping punished himself with a drink, and then explained, "Although Hui Dong Merchant Guild is not one of the top powers like He Province, he is relatively unknown."

"But he has a background from Eastern Domain, and he does big business."

Xiao Chen immediately understood that the Intelligence Network possessed by such a force is naturally very powerful.

This means that the rise of demonic cultivators infiltrating from Looking Swallow Mountain should be true.

In this case, during this period of time, I might also encounter demonic cultivators who come to my door.

This is great news!

Xiao Chen has also changed his opinion of Chang Shunping. If he can get such news, it seems that his information is quite well-informed.

In this case, you might as well ask for more information from him.

One of them was interested in chatting and the other was interested in making friends. They chatted for three hours.

The information Chang Shunping has is quite comprehensive and rich, and he can speak clearly and clearly about He Province's overall situation, current situation, and the status quo of various large and small forces.

These things are not really deep if we say they are deep, but they are not shallow if we say they are shallow.

Anyone who has not stayed in He Province for decades would never be able to understand it in such detail.

"Daoist Chang Go slowly, I will definitely visit you when I have time someday."

Xiao Chen sent Chang Shunping away and sat alone in the yard, carefully recalling the information he had just received.

It has to be said that different people can see different worlds in their eyes.

According to Chang Shunping, He Province is now a mixed bag.

Spirit Origin Sect now has to face not only the threat of the Divine Fire Sect, but also the restoration of White Bone Gate.

From the few words I have learned so far, Xiao Chen feels that this White Bone Gate is a bit like Luo Tian Sect, but even more outrageous than Luo Tian Sect.

Its main purpose is to overthrow Spirit Origin Sect, enslave Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, and completely eradicate Azure Sky Sect.

Then because of this goal, Three Great Sects and He Province teamed up to kill it. It was almost extinct in the past few years.

But I don't know why, but it suddenly became active again in the past two years.

I have done several big things in a row. Although they were not successful, they did have a big impact on the Spirit Origin Sect.

In addition, Xiao Chen also heard news about the Heaven's Secret Pavilion from Chang Shunping.

Heaven's Secret Pavilion is a rather mysterious organization. It is said that its headquarters is located at Central Region, and all official members of the cabinet are Diviner.

In addition to divination, we also sell various Secret Intelligence.

As long as you are willing to spend Spirit Stone, you can buy all kinds of information from the Heaven's Secret Pavilion, and the accuracy is quite high.

Of course, these are not the focus at the moment. The main problem is that Divine Fire Sect blocked Quanzhou and did not give Heaven's Secret Pavilion any face.

So now He Province Heaven's Secret Pavilion, has lost contact with Central Region.

In order to have the power of self-protection, Heaven's Secret Pavilion has also been in frequent contact with various forces during this period, and has consciously gathered nearby loose cultivators.

It has become a force that cannot be ignored.

In addition, He Province now has many casual cultivators pretending to be Bandit Cultivator, killing people and setting fires.

As long as they are not caught on the spot, the blame will be placed on the demon cultivator of the Divine Fire Sect.

Although many people know it well, this is just an excuse.

But in the current situation, without clear evidence, it is difficult to get to the bottom of the Spirit Origin Sect's case.

All in all, the current situation at He Province is far more complicated than it appears.

.

Xiao Chen finished sorting out the situation in front of him.

I found that although the situation did become more complicated, my original plan was not affected.

"What I have to do now is still to complete <Illusion Breaking Spirit Eye> first, and then earn Points."

"As for other changes and power struggles, they actually have nothing to do with me."

"It would be even better if you could occasionally meet the Divine Fire Sect demon cultivator who comes to your door."

With this idea in mind, Xiao Chen is still the same as in the Li Fire Sect. In addition to practicing Cultivation Method every day, it is also practicing Law Technique.

A month goes by in a blink of an eye.

The Cyan Sun Stone mined this month was successfully handed over to the Spirit Origin Sect monk responsible for transporting resources.

Xiao Chen felt a little bored. "No, where are the magic cultivators we promised? Where have they gone?"

When Li Fire Sect is occasionally feeling irritable while practicing, he can also chat with Su Wanqing or go to the market for a walk.

But in Cyan Sun Spirit Mine, every day when he opens his eyes, he sees the mine, and when he closes his eyes, he sees the ore. Even he can't stay still.

Of course, this situation has something to do with a notification he just received.

While handing over Cyan Sun Stone, he also received the monthly bulletin from the Spirit Origin Sect.

The content of the notification is actually very simple, only two pages in total.

The first page is a letter of commendation, which lists twenty monks who performed outstandingly in the fight against the Divine Fire Sect last month, and specially assigned ten monks each to the Spirit Origin Sect and Li Province.

The second page is a reward announcement, listing the ten most valuable spiritual items among the rewards redeemed last month and the monks who redeemed them.

Xiao Chen saw a familiar name on it - Ye Fei.

This kid not only killed three demon cultivators, but also ranked second among the Li Province cultivators to obtain Points.

Moreover, he directly redeemed twelve Twin Stem Cyan Lotus Seed, which seemed like he wanted to attack some kind of Law Technique.

"It's clear that a large group of demon cultivators have infiltrated, but where are you?"

Xiao Chen Waited and waited, even if he couldn't wait for the demonic attack, he wanted to run out to find the demonic cultivator on his own initiative.

But he is not Demon Slayer Guard yet, he has the responsibility of guarding Cyan Sun Spirit Mine.

Therefore, we can only stay in the mine and it is inconvenient to leave our posts without permission.

Xiao Chen thought about it and sent someone to ask Chang Shunping to come over and ask for the latest information again.

"Daoist Xiao, I just wanted to come and see you."

Chang Shunping came cheerfully. "I have good news for you. Most of the demon cultivators who slipped in from Looking Swallow Mountain last time have been captured."

"For at least the next month, our Cyan Sun side will be safe."

"Hey, Daoist Xiao, why do you look unhappy?"

Xiao Chen was of course not happy. He originally expected to wait and see.

Now it's okay, it's completely hopeless.

"Have all the demon cultivators been caught?"

Xiao Chen asked with some reluctance, "Isn't there anything that slipped through the net?"

"Looking Swallow Mountain Are there no new demon cultivators infiltrating over there?"

Chang Shunping calculated it. "I heard that a whole team had sneaked in. If you calculate it this way, there should be three or four more."

"But it doesn't matter, Daoist Xiao, just relax."

"We Cyan Sun County don't have anything we want, so the remaining demon cultivators are not stupid and will definitely not come to our place."

Very good, hearing him say this, Xiao Chen's hanging heart finally died.

After chatting for a while, Chang Shunping was sent away.

Xiao Chen began to look forward in boredom again. "Where will these demon cultivators go?"

"Brother, where are we going?"

Qiu Ping County Besides a rice field outside, three magic cultivators dressed like farmers were sitting under an old Locust Tree.

One of them was looking at the sparrow not far away, but he was asking about his accomplice on the right.

Peng Dawei, who is called the eldest brother, seems to be closing his eyes and concentrating. "Don't be anxious, wait for the opportunity."

Another person also complained, "Brother, waiting like this is not an option. I haven't seen the monk's Essence Blood for two months."

"I heard that the brothers from the south caught a lot of Cauldron from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. Their little faces and figures are all top-notch."

Hearing this, Peng Dawei also opened his eyes, with a trace of fire flashing in his eyes.

He heard that Ten Thousand Flowers Valley has beauty-beautifying skills, and the higher the female disciple's cultivation level, the more beautiful she will be. Thinking of Yin Gathering Yang Supplementing's Secret Method in the sect, he felt a little hungry in his heart.

But he was still relatively calm and didn't get carried away.

He opened his mouth to persuade, "Don't worry, we are surrounded by the Spirit Origin Sect people now. If you want to escape unscathed, you must wait until my news is sent."

While they were chatting, an elderly woman walked by the roadside.

After seeing Peng Dawei, she took the initiative to go under Locust Tree, stretched out her hand to lift the blue and white coarse cloth, and took out a sesame seed cake from the vegetable basket slung on her arm.

"Young man, the homemade sesame cakes are available for one penny, so please have one."

Peng Dawei took out three copper coins. "Take two more and give one to each of my two brothers."

After the old woman left, he opened the sesame seed cake in his hand and found a note inside.

Gao Changjun on the side was dumbfounded when he saw this.

He had just swallowed the sesame seed cake in two mouthfuls. "Brother, I... well..."

Peng Dawei directly put the remaining sesame seeds in his hand into his mouth. "You worthless thing, why didn't I kill you!"

Fortunately, the most critical piece of information was just one piece of information, and the two extra biscuits were just cover.

Another magic cultivator looked at the staggering old woman in the distance in shock. "Brother, what an amazing Breath Concealing Art, I can't even tell at all!"

Gao Changjun swallowed the sesame seed cake and said, "Yes, brother, I thought he was just a mortal!"

Peng Dawei smiled proudly, "You are right, that is a mortal!"

"Now that Spirit Origin Sect is being investigated so strictly, Sound Transmission Talisman, Message Talisman, and Magic Sword are all easily exposed."

"On the contrary, even if these mortals walked under the noses of those monks, no one would take a second look."

After reading the information in his hand, Peng Dawei opened his mouth and swallowed the note directly.

"Second and third, don't you want Essence Blood? Our opportunity has come."

"Qingyang Chang Family now only has one Foundation Establishment Stage 6 left, and he has left Lineage for Qingyang Mountain every few days in the past month."

Gao Changjun reacted immediately. "Let's go Qingyang Mountain to ambush him!"

"Crack!"

Peng Dawei slapped him directly on the back of the head. "You are as stupid as a pig!"

"I told you last month that Cyan Sun Spirit Mine has come to guard the monks. Why are you going there?"

"Let's go to Cyan Sun County and ambush him on his way back."
