After eight or nine hours of long stealth, he finally arrived near the Lingshi Mine without anyone noticing.
There are currently five pill-joining monks near the mine, two mid-stage pill-joining masters from the Demon Flame Sect, and two pill-joining monks from the Hehuan Sect, one of whom is still at the late stage of pill-joining, and another from the Ghost Spirit Sect.
A master of mid-stage pill formation.
There are also five masters in the middle stage of the alchemy coming from the seven sects this time, namely Nangong Wan from the Hidden Moon Sect, Lei Wanhe from the Huangfeng Valley, Fuyunzi from the Qingxu Sect, Zhang Tianxiang from the Huadao Wu and Wang Meng from the Giant Sword Sect.
However, all those who came were in the middle stage of pill formation. Of course, Lei Wanhe had a thunder-type alien spirit root, and he had already reached the peak of the middle stage. He could compete with the master of the late stage pill formation of Hehuan Sect.
Anyway, the purpose is just to lure away these five demonic alchemy monks, so that many foundation-building disciples can have the opportunity to break into the mine veins and remove the spiritual stones in the secret warehouse.
The task was quickly arranged, and then the five alchemy masters quietly left the war boat and quietly approached their chosen targets.
Of course, they were soon discovered by the demonic alchemy monks, and a fierce battle ensued. However, both sides did not want to completely destroy the spirit stone veins, so they did not fight near the spirit stone veins, but went to a hundred or ten miles away to start an earth-shattering battle.
of war.
Taking advantage of the battle taking place in the distance, it attracted the attention of the demonic monks who continued to stay at the entrance of the mine. Li Xiao and others, who had been preparing for a long time, suddenly launched an attack.
Because the real large force of the invasion has not yet arrived, there are not many demonic monks staying in the mines. There are only a few foundation-building monks. As for the Qi-training monks, there are still dozens of them.
However, these remaining personnel were far from the well-prepared monks of the Seven Sects, and they were suddenly attacked, so the demonic monks who stayed behind were wiped out in just a moment.
Li Xiao also showed great power. With the help of the Sixth Level Qingyuan Sword Technique and the Divine Walking Step, he successfully killed a monk at the late stage of Foundation Establishment Peak. However, he was almost unscathed, which can be regarded as a revelation to everyone.
Terrifying fighting power.
Under the guidance of the secret map, we quickly found the secret warehouse where spiritual stones were stored.
The restriction was opened, and as the thick stone wall slowly slid open, tens of thousands of large boxes were seen. Each box contained 100,000 standard spirit stones, with the total number reaching billions, which attracted everyone's attention.
All straight.
"Time is tight, everyone move quickly!" A foundation-building monk from the Hidden Moon Sect greeted, and everyone started to move one after another. Everyone stepped forward to carry a large box weighing a ton, and walked to the war boat as fast as flying.
Li Xiao also carried a large box of spirit stones, but he did not move it to the war boat. Instead, he went to the core of the spirit stone mine defense array, preparing to repair and restart the defense array.
Chen Qiaoqian, of course, followed Li Xiao's lead, picked up a large box of spiritual stones, and followed Li Xiao to the core of the defensive formation.
…
With an array master like Li Xiao here, it is certainly not difficult to repair this severely damaged defensive array. It also opened Chen Qiaoqian's eyes to the use of magic fireballs, refining spiritual stones, and the use of mind power to shape rune structures and inlays.
Go to those damaged magic circles.
It took less than an hour to repair this extremely complex protective array. With thousands of spiritual stones embedded in it, the array began to operate.
A light blue beam of light rose into the sky, reached an altitude of hundreds of feet, spread out in all directions, spread to thousands of meters away, and then fell back to the ground, forming a huge energy shield with a diameter of more than two kilometers.
Feeling that there were burning eyes staring at him from behind, he couldn't help but turn around and saw Chen Qiaoqian's admiring eyes.
It seems that this kind of feeling of being admired by others is quite good, especially by a beautiful woman. It is inevitable that I feel a little proud when I admire myself so much, but suddenly I feel that I am a little naive.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
"Ah, oh, um, senior brother is really good at refining weapons. Please forgive me for looking a little distracted." After saying that, he bowed and looked very respectful.
Li Xiao quickly returned the gift and said, "Junior sister Chen, that's a great compliment."
"But it's not an award at all. The defensive array of this spirit stone mine has been repaired by my senior brother. It seems to be much stronger than the original defensive array. It should be able to easily block the attack of the alchemy monk, right?"
"It can't be said that it is easy to block the attacks of the Danjie monks. If there are a few Danjie monks in the later stage and they attack a few more times, the load will still be exceeded. In fact, it is not much better than the original."
"Senior brother is so humble. The magic circle here is of the same level as our Yellow Wind Valley Mountain Protection Formation. Senior brother, after repairing it like this, it can actually be improved. This is already very, very remarkable."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. It's safe here for the time being. I'll go take a look around and set up some warning formations to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking."
"I'll go with you so that you can take care of me if you encounter a master of magic."
"Don't, if I encounter danger alone, I can run away as soon as possible. If you go together..." As he was speaking, he saw Chen Qiaoqian looking at her with a look that was a little resentful and a little inferior. She also felt that what she said
A little hurtful.
"Don't get me wrong, I really don't look down on your fighting ability, it's just that I run very fast when I encounter danger."
Chen Qiaoqian also knew that Li Xiao was telling the truth, so she stopped pestering him.
"Senior brother, be careful. If you encounter danger, send a warning in time and escape back as soon as possible."
"I know, you should be more careful. The disciples of other sects may also have other small thoughts. If you are really in danger and there is no time to evacuate, you should retreat deep into the mine and find another way." He said and took out another one.
Zhang handed the special talisman he drew himself to the other party, "This talisman can develop a very strong defensive shield, or it can protect you temporarily."
"Thank you!" Chen Qiaoqian did not refuse to accept the magic talisman, but said thank you and put away the magic talisman. Li Xiao also took out the flying boat and quickly left the mine.
…
When they arrived more than ten miles away from the mine, hundreds of special puppets with invisibility capabilities were immediately released.
These puppets quickly dispersed after receiving the order. After arriving at special locations, they quickly got into the ground.
Absorbing spiritual energy from the earth's spiritual veins, a large magic circle was formed in an instant.
This array is not used to defend or attack, but to collect the energy fluctuation information of this spiritual vein. The ultimate goal is of course to analyze the formation of this spiritual vein and the process that gave birth to the spiritual stone.
reason.
Based on what we have seen so far, we can speculate that perhaps this mountain range that can breed spiritual stones should have a special mechanism, or it can be regarded as an innate formation.
Because this mineral vein can continuously produce spiritual stones, some mines that have been mined will condense spiritual stones after decades or hundreds of years. It is so weird that it really does not look like ordinary minerals.
If the basic principles of this can be understood, perhaps it can be simulated with a similar magic circle, and then the spiritual energy in the air can be continuously absorbed to synthesize spiritual stones...
