After the ghostly poison on the short blade absorbed Zhuo Han's blood essence, a pungent sour smell immediately wafted out.

At this time, small black worms squirmed and became active, like goosebumps, which made people feel nauseous.

He obtained this poison in an ancient cave. Its toxicity is weak and cannot cause death instantly.

But after the black bugs burrow into the scratched skin, they will quickly eat the blood and energy in the monk's body, which is a bit evil.

"Go to hell!"

Zhuo Han had previously slightly injured Chen Ping, and he immediately held a grudge against him. He did not care about the consumption of mana, and the sword flashed, and several phantoms were slashed at Chen Ping.

The two of them each used their magical powers and made a great noise, but Chen Ping remained unmoved.

It wasn't until he was less than half a foot away that Chen Ping stretched out two fingers, and in the horrified eyes of the two Zhuo brothers, a crimson fireball like the mouth of a bowl instantly condensed.

"呲"

The heat wave surged, and the fireball hit the large web of petals, burning it into nothingness in an instant.

"You...you can actually cast spells instantly!"

Zhuo Qi said in shock.

Like magic or magical powers, there are generally four stages: entry, small success, great success, and great perfection.

When casting a spell, you must first run the corresponding cycle, then recite the mantra silently, and only after the spiritual power is condensed and formed can it be considered a complete process.

Before a spell reaches the state of Dzogchen, it is absolutely impossible to compress this process to almost instantaneous casting.

Is it possible that this kid has mastered a Dzogchen fire spell?

But generally speaking, without decades of day and night practice, it is very difficult to reach Dzogchen.

Even the most basic five element spells.

Usually only some veteran Qi cultivators who know that there is no hope of building a foundation will spend a lot of time to create one or two Dzogchen realm spells.

But how old is the boy in front of me?

Judging from the appearance, he is never over thirty.

The two brothers looked at each other and swallowed hard.

"go!"

Chen Ping flicked them lightly, and two fire fingers transformed from the Nine Transformations Flame Spirit Art hit Zhuo Han and Zhuo Qi's hearts respectively.

The heart and mouth are one of the key points of the human race.

The two brothers who had just witnessed the power of this method no longer cared about besieging Chen Ping, and gathered their moves to defend with all their strength.

"boom!"

The Fire Finger generated based on the Nine Transformations Flame Spirit Technique is much stronger than the original version.

Along with two violent roars, every trace of firelight disappeared.

The magical pen magic weapon and the short knife hit the ground with a bang, their luster was greatly reduced, and they were obviously seriously injured.

The fire that followed burned upwards along the fingers of the two people, until the arms were burned black and exposed, and finally the spiritual power was exhausted and dissipated into spots of fire.

"Ah...it hurts"

Zhuo Qi and Zhuo Han grimaced in pain, each holding their arms and rolling over on their sides, crying and howling miserably.

This is the result of Chen Ping's persistence.

If he hadn't been concerned about Meng Lingqiu, who was guarding outside the cave, he would never have taken the so-called mine rules seriously.

"Do you two fellow Taoists still want to continue?"

As Chen Ping spoke, another ball of flame appeared in his hand.

He had practiced for hundreds of years in his previous life, and it was not difficult to cast some fire spells instantly.

"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Lu, we are convinced."

Zhuo Qi was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He hurriedly handed something over and said, "This is my storage bag. You can take it as you please, fellow Taoist."

"Brother, how can this be done?"

Zhuo Han glared and said harshly, unwillingly: "If you dare to rob us, Duan Kuangtou will not let you go!"

"Hiss!"

A green snake-like, winding green light passed by, Zhuo Han's right leg was removed from the knee, and blood splashed all over him.

"ah!"

Zhuo Han rolled around in pain while holding his wound, and roared loudly: "Good thief, just wait..."

"Shut up!"

Zhuo Qi shouted angrily at his younger brother.

At the same time, he felt a chill in his heart.

It was completely clear that the man in front of me was a ruthless master, and he might really kill his two brothers without any restraint.

In a panic, Zhuo Qi pulled off the storage bag from Zhuo Han's waist and handed it to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping opened it and saw, as expected, that the two storage bags were filled with copper crystals, which totaled about 1,800 kilograms.

In a small corner, there are several various low-grade magic weapons thrown in.

Presumably, these two people often engaged in robbery and plunder.

Unceremoniously sweeping the copper crystal away, Chen Ping said with a teasing smile: "Elder Zuo Long, right? Next, I will ask a question and you will answer. If there is any hesitation, it will be as simple as breaking the leg."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, feel free to ask, but I will definitely tell you the truth."

Zhuo Qi's heart trembled and he hurriedly promised.

His younger brother Zhuo Han fainted and died due to excessive blood loss.

However, practitioners have strong physiques, so even if their limbs are cut off, their lives are not in danger.

Half an hour later.

Zhuo Qi confirmed that the murderer had gone far before he dared to squat down, pick up the storage bag on the ground, and put the body of the demon spider inside.

This inexplicable encounter caused heavy losses to the two of them. Fortunately, the guy kept his word and took nothing except the copper crystal.

Looking at his unconscious brother, Zhuo Qi hesitated for a moment, with a look of pain on his face.

But then it was replaced by resentment and ferocity.

"Second brother, I will avenge you, and my future brother will also walk the path of immortality for you."

After a while, Zhuo Qi carried his brother's mutilated body, which was getting colder, and tears rolled down his eyes.

…

Here, after Chen Ping got enough copper crystals, he returned to the cave where he had previously retreated.

Just now he learned a lot of information about the mineral veins from Zhuo Qi.

Zhuo Qi can be considered an old miner and has been employed by the Meng family for nearly four years.

The mining leader he followed, Duan Gaojing, was nicknamed "Duan Laoyin" and had more than thirty miners under his command.

And Xing Linnian, who came at the same time as him and had invited him, actually became one of the three major mining heads.

Of course, Chen Ping automatically ignored these trivial messages.

He was more interested in another strange thing Zhuo Qi said.

A long time ago, in addition to dozens of hired monks, there were also about a dozen collateral clan members from the Meng Yu family who were engaged in mining in Taizhu Mountain.

The management at that time was relatively loose, and we could take a few days off from the mine every two months.

The incident happened about a year and a half ago.

Overnight, all the dozen or so members of the Meng family and the Yu family disappeared.

A few days later, the supervisor issued a new map to everyone. Compared with the original version, there was an extra black restricted area.

What was distributed to Chen Ping was the so-called new map.

Not long after, four ninth-level qi-training masters who were in charge of the formation outside came together and informed everyone that they would not be allowed to leave the mine for the next few years.

At that time, some old miners firmly opposed it, but they were severely punished by Meng Ping and others, and it took them a long time to recover from their injuries.

A few months later, Meng Lingqiu, the foundation-building elder of the Meng family, came to Tengshan Island and had been guarding the mine outside, almost never leaving.

From then on, everyone became completely honest and did not dare to say anything.

"I see, the Meng family has good luck."

Chen Ping felt enlightened and probably guessed the reason for the series of abnormal behaviors of the Meng family in recent years.

Natural minerals are formed by terrestrial veins that have taken thousands of years to develop.

The power of rules is unpredictable. During the formation of copper crystal ore, there is a slim chance that another associated ore may be derived.
