The Hand Was Still Too Heavy!

On the evening of July 28th, Yellow Magpie Valley.

Yellow Magpie Valley is located one thousand two hundred miles northwest of the Li Fire Sect.

This place was originally occupied by a Qi Refining Lineage. Relying on a first-order Spirit Vein hidden in the valley, life was relatively smooth.

But later, Lineage had civil strife, and the news was leaked, which immediately triggered a melee.

Immediately afterwards, several Qi Refining Great Perfection Bandit Cultivator appeared out of nowhere and looted Yellow Magpie Valley.

When Li Fire Sect's Elder arrived, all he saw was the bloody massacre scene and Spirit Vein that couldn't be moved.

So the ownerless Spirit Vein belongs to the Li Fire Sect.

Due to the small scale of this Spirit Vein, it can only produce more than 1,300 pieces of Spirit Stone a year.

Li Fire Sect has only arranged one Foundation Establishment Cultivator here, who is fully responsible for the related matters of mining Spirit Vein and mining Spirit Stone. He only needs to hand over one thousand Spirit Stone to the sect every year.

This profit is naturally carefully calculated.

Although the ambitious Foundation Establishment Cultivator looks down on this small amount of money, there are always people who are not too little and like such an easy and stable income.

After all, Foundation Establishment Cultivator doesn't need to mine. He can spend most of his time practicing every day and occasionally just check on his disciples.

Today, the person responsible for guarding Yellow Magpie Valley is still a member of the Su Family Branch Lineage tribe - Su Dechang.

"Master, when will you take me back to South Lake?"

In the Yellow Magpie Valley compound, a charming female nun sat in the arms of Su Dechang.

On the stone table in front of them, there were twenty-eight dishes.

But both of them were so busy having fun that they didn't even bother to eat.

Su Dechang stretched out his hand to knead Xuebai and said with a smile, "Don't worry, in half a year, I will be able to save enough money to buy the elixir."

"When the time comes, I will break through Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer, and I can take you back openly without fear of others gossiping behind your back."

"Maybe when the old man is happy, he can take you to visit him."

The two were laughing when suddenly there was a gust of dark wind outside.

The strong wind blew, and all kinds of branches and gravel were knocked around, and all kinds of flowers, plants, and windows and bricks were smashed to pieces.

Su Dechang was startled by the sudden movement and was stunned for a moment.

First of all, it has been almost ten years since he came to Yellow Magpie Valley, and he has never seen such a strong wind.

And it comes without warning, just as it comes.

Secondly, he had been accustomed to drinking and having fun all year round, and he had long lost his vigilance. Because he did not feel the Spiritual Power reaction, he did not realize the danger at the first time.

It wasn't until he realized belatedly that the protective formation outside his yard was not effective.

A bloody light had broken through the door and penetrated directly into his chest.

"Pfft~!"

Su Dechang spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened. "There is obviously no Law Technique fluctuation, how could it be?"

"Whoosh~!"

The blood light returned and penetrated his abdomen again, killing the female cultivator as well.

Then it drew a semicircle in the air and fell into the hands of an old man outside Yellow Magpie Valley.

"How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Next to him, another masked man smiled and said, "What a noble and upright person, they are just a bunch of drunkards."

"Compared with them, your only shortcoming is that you didn't get a good pregnancy."

"How come they, these losers, can control Spirit Vein and enjoy all kinds of training resources, while you have to work hard and work hard?"

"Go ahead and get what's rightfully yours."

The old man looked at the red-stained shuttle in his hand, with a hint of madness gradually appearing in his eyes.

"Yes, I just want to get back what belongs to me."

Inside Yellow Magpie Valley, the sky was filled with blood and screams could be heard endlessly.

It spread from the small road to the depths of Spirit Vein. All Li Fire Sect disciples responsible for mining Spirit Vein, as well as casual cultivators hired temporarily, were all brutally murdered, and no one survived.

Even to prevent leaks.

Yellow Magpie Valley Seven mortal villages within a radius of thirty miles were all slaughtered.

The masked man took the old man to the compound of Su Dechang.

Then I found Signal Stone, who was responsible for contacting Li Fire Sect: "Remember to follow the method I taught you and inject one dose of Law Power at each hour, noon and You Hour every day to maintain normal contact."

"I want to save more comrades, you stay here to digest Blood Food."

"As of the tenth day of October, I'll be waiting for you at South Lake. Let's also go to Spirit Fish Banquet."

"You mean, Signal Stone lit up three times?"

Xiao Chen stood in the Star Gazing Hall of the sect and asked curiously, "Is there any problem with this? Isn't it stipulated in the sect's manual that we need to contact you three times a day?"

The steward on duty at the Heavenly Observation Hall looked around.

After confirming that there were only Xiao Chen and his close disciples at the scene, he explained, "This Signal Stone corresponds to Yellow Magpie Valley Spirit Vein."

"The person in charge there now is Old Master Su's nephew."

"The master is never punctual, especially in the morning. But the day before yesterday and yesterday, I contacted him three times, and he was always on time."

Good guy, Xiao Chen is a little speechless.

"There's something wrong anyway. Do you think something happened to him?"

The steward made a grimace. "I was just suspicious at first, but I asked a friend to check it out. In the village near Yellow Magpie Valley, all the people disappeared."

"My friend also suspected that something happened, but he didn't dare to go into the valley to check for fear of alerting others."

Although Su Dechang is spoiled, it is also the real Foundation Establishment Stage 2.

Qi Refining Realm's magic cultivator couldn't move him at all, so Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator must have taken action.

Xiao Chen reviewed the logic and found that although the process of this inference is a bit strange, it does make some sense.

In order to promptly search for clues left at the scene, he had to leave overnight and rush to Yellow Magpie Valley.

At Mao hour, the genius shines slightly.

Xiao Chen has already entered the valley.

As far as the eye can see, a large number of Qi Refining's fellow disciples who have fallen to the ground have been drained of their blood, leaving only a shriveled skin.

Obviously the worst outcome happened, Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator really went on a killing spree.

But Xiao Chen is still a little confused, because this kind of Stronghold will be equipped with Defensive Formation.

Even if it is usually used to save Spirit Stone, it will not be turned on at any time.

However, once encountering an enemy attack, there is no time to rely on formations to temporarily block the enemy, or at least gain time to report to the sect with the help of Signal Stone.

However, in fact, the disciples on duty at the Star Gazing Hall did not notice any abnormalities.

If it weren't for the special situation of Su Dechang, he would have neglected his duties by relying on his background.

Maybe Li Fire Sect is kept in the dark now and has no idea that this place has changed hands.

"It's not easy."

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, which undoubtedly showed that the magic cultivator who took action was very powerful and had already captured Yellow Magpie Valley without even giving Su Dechang time to report for help.

Thinking of this, he made a move and used Golden Armor Art to put a layer of defense on himself in advance.

But be careful, even though the enemies this time may be more powerful.

But Xiao Chen is not a soft persimmon, and with Golden Light Shrinking Earth as a trump card, he still has the courage to go in and take a look.

.

Carefully, I touched the depths of Spirit Vein.

However, no trace of the magic cultivator was found, nor was there any trace of illegal mining of Spirit Stone.

"Has he already left?"

Xiao Chen returned to the highest point in the valley, where there is the courtyard where Su Dechang lives.

Due to various delays in the past, his <Illusion Breaking Spirit Eye> is still a little behind the curve.

The exploration class Law Technique currently in hand is still the previous one <Star Gazing Qi Observation Technique>.

This Law Technique has a flaw, that is, the Spiritual Qi Concentration can only judge the approximate target. As a reference for action, it will be misled by various interference factors.

For example, at this time, Xiao Chen feels something is not right.

Looking from the perspective of Qi Observation Technique, there is only one Spiritual Qi group of Foundation Establishment Early Stage level in the yard.

And it is quite unstable, Spiritual Qi goes up and down.

When it is high, there are almost Foundation Establishment Stage 6, but when it is low, it is only about Foundation Establishment First Layer.

"How can a demon cultivator of this level be able to kill Su Dechang?"

Su Dechang is not lacking in Top-Grade Magical Artifact, but High-Grade Magic Tool is certainly not lacking.

If your cultivation level is about the same, if you fight alone, you might be able to rely on the advantage of Law Artifact to overwhelm your opponent.

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and immediately concluded, "He must have an accomplice."

So he cast <Acupoint Sealing Qi Concealment Art> and hid directly outside the courtyard wall, planning to wait for the demon cultivator's accomplices to come back, and then attack them all.

The next two days.

While he was lying in wait, he watched the demon cultivators in the yard and practiced by refining and absorbing Essence Blood.

When cultivating, a monk's cultivation naturally cannot be concealed.

The opponent clearly only had Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer, and his aura was weak. It was obvious that he had only recently relied on Devil Cultivation Method to force a breakthrough.

To be honest, judging from this performance, it is obvious that he is not an elite from the Divine Fire Sect.

But the local casual cultivators who have fallen into the evil way are no better than Su Dechang.

But the strange thing is that in this place, Xiao Chen waited for two full days and never saw his accomplice.

On the contrary, he saw that the demon cultivators in the courtyard were about to attack Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer.

"Forget it, it looks like this accomplice won't be back for a while."

Seeing that the other party was refining Essence Blood again, Xiao Chen walked out without hesitation.

The first thing to do is to sacrifice Flowing Light Golden Light Pearl far away in the air to prevent the opponent from escaping.

Then he kicked open the broken door. "Hey, are you from the Divine Fire Sect or Luo Tian Sect?"

The demon cultivators in the courtyard reacted much faster.

The first time I noticed something strange, I opened a Protective Spiritual Light.

Then he stretched out his left hand and dipped it into the small bowl held in his right hand.

Wipe your eyes with Essence Blood, and your eyes immediately emit a dark red light, which is obviously some kind of Detection Art.

After the other party saw clearly that Xiao Chen was only Foundation Establishment Stage 6, he snorted coldly, "Humph, here comes another lackey of the Li Fire Sect!"

"It just so happens that the Essence Blood I have is of poor quality!"

"I will taste your blood today to see if it tastes good!"

As he spoke, he took out a shuttle from his arms, raised his index and middle fingers, and swung it in the air.

The shuttle suddenly turned into a streak of blood and rushed towards Xiao Chen's heart.

Xiao Chen naturally came prepared, and had already taken out Tassel-Edged Brocade Handkerchief before entering the door.

The flying shuttle landed on the brocade handkerchief and was not only stopped directly, but also wrapped up on the spot.

No matter how the opponent commanded him, he was firmly suppressed and unable to move.

Because he was thinking about his accomplice, Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to kill him, but wanted to catch him alive.

"Azure Thorn Technique!"

He gave the order, and thorns immediately burst out of the ground and rolled towards the opponent.

But unfortunately, Azure Thorn Technique is First-Order Spell after all.

A large number of thorns are blocked from Protective Spiritual Light, unable to form effective restrictions.

Such a delay would give the other party a chance to judge the situation.

Seeing the tyrannical strength of Xiao Chen, he decisively took out a strange Talisman from his arms, took out a bottle of Essence Blood that had been refined in advance, and threw it away.

Immediately there was a burst of blood, and then the old man turned into a beam of blood, broke through the thorns, and fled outside.

Seeing the opponent perform Blood Escape Technique.

Xiao Chen thought, and the Flowing Light Golden Light Pearl in the air suddenly fell down, directly scattering the escaping blood light.

Looking closely, the demon cultivator died suddenly on the spot.

"It's broken, but it's still a heavy blow!"

Xiao Chen frowned and walked up to pick up the opponent's Storage Bag.

He actually wanted to hold back just now, but he didn't expect that the other party would run away so decisively and had no time to use other Law Technique.

Secondly, I really didn't expect that the opponent only had a medium-grade defensive robe.

He died without even being able to hold on to Golden Light Pearl.

"I hope I can find some new clues."

Xiao Chen first searched the yard, but unfortunately there was nothing useful.

Then he refined Storage Bag with ease.

But this Storage Bag only contains a mere two hundred and eighty-five pieces of Spirit Stone, and a bunch of useless sundries.

The most precious Law Artifact in the opponent's body is actually the High-Grade Magic Tool shuttle.

The only clue related to the magic cultivator is a book <Blood Refinement Divine Art>.

This Devil Cultivation Method Xiao Chen had also obtained one before, but it was obtained from the killer of the Azure Flame Sect.

At present, we can only roughly guess based on the content of Devil Cultivation Method that it should belong to the Divine Fire Sect.

In short, the clues are gone.

Xiao Chen has a hunch that if the other party's accomplice was not caught this time, that accomplice will definitely do other things soon.

But he has no good solution now. If the opponent appears in front of him immediately, he can immediately use Top-Grade Magical Artifact to blow the opponent's head off.

But the opponent just ran away early, leaving him no chance to take action.

"It's very annoying, damn Divine Fire Sect, can you stop causing trouble for me all the time?"

In line with the principle that what comes comes comes, Xiao Chen circled around the entire Yellow Magpie Valley.

After this search, he actually discovered an extremely secret vault.

This basement is very well hidden, and Law Technique will never be visible through normal detection.

However, Xiao Chen's <Star Gazing Qi Observation Technique> has ten times the effect, and is especially good at detecting areas where Spiritual Qi is prominent.

I just discovered that there was an abnormality in the flow of Spiritual Qi in this place.

Entering the basement, there is actually a tunnel in the back, connected to the Spirit Vein not far away.

There are dozens of sets of mining tools placed along the way.

Obviously, someone is stealing Spirit Vein in this way.

This kind of behavior cannot be hidden from Su Dechang. In fact, this is what he acquiesces to.

Xiao Chen found an artificially dug darkroom in the basement.

There are five large boxes in the darkroom.

He opened the box, and there was a total of 4,600 yuan Spirit Stone that Su Dechang had saved over the years.

"Hey, this Spirit Stone shouldn't be on Account Book, right?"

And there should be no one who knows about it now.

Xiao Chen thought for a while, took away all the Spirit Stone here, and then took the initiative to blow up the tunnels and basements here for Su Dechang.

.

Activate Signal Stone at a predetermined frequency.

Not long after, a large number of Qi Refining disciples arrived Yellow Magpie Valley.

Among them, there are three Qi Refining Great Perfection, who are responsible for serving as temporary team leaders and continue to garrison this Stronghold.

Their main task is to guard this resource point and wait for the sect's next step.

There is no way, the manpower of the Li Fire Sect is also very short now, and the extra Foundation Establishment Cultivator cannot be spared for rotation.

Of course, this does not mean that no one can tell the difference, but that there is no suitable candidate.

According to past practice, Yellow Magpie Valley should be succeeded by a member of the Su Family clan.

But Su Family's generation is already short of manpower, and we really can't send out suitable candidates for the time being.

After confirming the news that Su Dechang was murdered, the entire Su Family family was immersed in grief.

Even Su Wanqing returned to his clan to mourn, and asked Shen Siyue to come and help take care of the spiritual flower.

"Big... uh."

Xiao Chen returned to Emerald Valley, and subconsciously called me Senior Sister, but then I realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate.

On the contrary, Shen Siyue saw him and stood up to greet him, "I've met Uncle Xiao."

"Wanqing Junior Sister is busy at home. If you don't mind, uncle, I will help take care of the spirit flowers during this period of time."

Xiao Chen waved his hand. "I don't mind, it's great that you can help."

In the next few days, he mainly spent his time refining alchemy.

This time Spirit Origin Sect needed more Bloodspike Pill and gave an order for one hundred bottles.

But the reward was also more, a full two thousand yuan Spirit Stone.

Xiao Chen naturally will not miss this good opportunity and handle all the orders by himself.

At the same time, the Bloodspike Pill in his Storage Bag also came to one hundred and fifty bottles.

"You have to find an opportunity to replace these Bloodspike Pill with Spirit Stone."

After all, compared to the refining rewards, selling elixirs directly can undoubtedly earn more Spirit Stone.

It's just that there have been no auctions recently, and I haven't heard any news about Black Market.

This can't help but make Xiao Chen a little disappointed: Why is the auction not held more often for such an important event?

It would be best to hold ten or eight shows a year. If you bring a few more Five-Colored Golden Lotus and other materials to each show, wouldn't you make a lot of money directly?

Just when Xiao Chen was thinking about the auction.

Suddenly a disciple of the Weapon Forging Hall came outside. "Uncle Xiao, Elder Chen please come over."

Xiao Chen followed him to the back hall of the Weapon Forging Hall, and saw Chen Tianfeng holding an indigo blue Flying Sword in his hand, looking at it carefully.

Perhaps the temperature in the back hall is too high, but there is a faint white air rising around the Flying Sword.

But this white gas is not water vapor. After it rises, it makes a big circle in the air and then turns back.

This cycle goes back and forth, which can be regarded as a strange scenery.

Seeing Xiao Chen coming, Chen Tianfeng directly handed over Flying Sword: "Come on, come and take a look, Spirit Origin Sect actually has a Ice Element Flying Sword."

"I couldn't make it last time, so I finally sent Flying Sword along with the ore this morning."

Xiao Chen walked forward and took a closer look.

The Flying Sword in front of me is completely transparent, exuding a faint cold light, like a piece of translucent black ice, and naturally has a cold beauty.

The blade of the sword is extremely smooth, without a single flaw, and is completely integrated.

Only the hilt of the sword is engraved with a large number of fine and well-proportioned Artifact Inscription.

Xiao Chen picked up Ice Sword, and felt a cold feeling instantly, but this coldness was not bone-piercing, but it also had a sense of helping people calm down and concentrate.

Trying to sweep the sword with Law Power, Xiao Chen asked in surprise, "Is this a Top-Grade Magical Artifact?"

"That's right."

Chen Tianfeng nodded. "Ice Element Flying Sword is rare in the first place, and I have been looking for it for a long time."

"In the end, I didn't find High-Grade Magic Tool, but I found this Top-Grade Magical Artifact."

"Of course, if you don't like it, then we will go back and find another High-Grade Magic Tool."

Xiao Chen quickly said, "No, no, no, don't bother, I think this one is pretty good."

After he obtained Wind Thunder Pair Swords, he was originally only short of a Top-Grade Magical Artifact level Ice Sword.

Now I can skip High-Grade Magic Tool and get it right in one step, which is a surprise.

With this top-notch Ice Sword, it can arrange Lesser Three Talents Sword Formation, and it can directly produce the best effect.

According to the description of the array diagram, the top version of Lesser Three Talents Sword Formation has the power to surround and kill a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator on its own.

"Second Master, how many Spirit Stone do you need for this Ice Sword?"

After checking it over and over again, Xiao Chen raised his head and asked about the price.

Everything has good and bad.

If what comes back this time is a High-Grade Magic Tool, then with his current financial resources, it will naturally be no problem.

But if it was replaced by Top-Grade Magical Artifact, and it was a particularly rare Top-Grade Magical Artifact like Ice Sword, the price would naturally go up. It was probably a high price that he could not afford for the time being.

"It's about the price..."

Chen Tianfeng paused for a moment and shook his head slightly. "Let's talk about it later. I heard from my eldest brother that you've been a little tight lately."

"In this case, I'll help you advance the money."

One thing to say, Xiao Chen is really short on money recently.

Although he just made several thousand dollars Spirit Stone, the problem is that he owes more money.

Chen Tianfeng is willing to help with credit, which feels like a timely help.

Xiao Chen looked at the Ice Sword in his hand and asked seriously, "Second Senior Uncle, I really don't have much Spirit Stone on me now."

"But please tell me the price of this Flying Sword. Once I have the Spirit Stone in my hands, I will pay it back as soon as possible."

Chen Tianfeng didn't hesitate when he heard this and said directly, "You are one of my own family members, so I will tell you the truth."

"According to my estimation, this Ice Sword should only be worth 24,000 yuan Spirit Stone, but they asked for 3,000 yuan more, and the price was 27,000 yuan."

"Spirit Origin Sect Although we are short of money now, it's not time for that kind of discount. If you are sure you want it now, we can only give it at the price of 27,000."

Sure enough, although the attack type Flying Sword is generally priced on the low side, the Flying Sword with this special attribute is still very expensive.

Even so, Xiao Chen still nodded without hesitation. "I know, twenty-seven thousand, just twenty-seven thousand."

I bought the so expensive Wind Thunder Pair Swords, and I didn't miss this last shudder.

Watching Xiao Chen leave with a smile on his face, Chen Tianfeng was a little confused. Did he make such a decisive decision because he heard that he could get credit?

But he was too lazy to think about this kind of thing.

Anyway, it was Chen Tianyuan who asked him to advance money for Xiao Chen.

In this case, the twenty-seven thousand Spirit Stone will naturally go to the Chen Family's family account, so there is no need for him to worry too much.

Moreover, Spirit Origin Sect has recently placed an additional order for Law Artifact, and Weapon Forging Hall is now working day and night to catch up on the task.

Chen Tianfeng What we are most concerned about now is the daily output.
