Leading by the guards in front of the three-story stone building, Lu Chong came to a door on the second floor. After receiving the response from the people in the room, the guard pressed a colorful stone in front of the door and exposed a square door hole. Lu Chong stepped in casually, and what appeared in front of him was a thick stone wall.

Lu Chong carefully observed the stone wall for a while, and immediately understood that this was another brilliant phantom formation. He turned left and right a few steps, and his body squeezed into the thick wall smoothly, and then shot through it.

Only then did I see clearly that there was a round stone table in front of me, with several white porcelain tea cups standing on the stone table, and a pot of jade porcelain teapot emitting fragrance next to it. There were several drum-shaped stone bells bells next to the stone table, and an old man with a short beard sat on the stone bench opposite, which was Mr. Guo, the leader of the western region that he saw that day.

Mr. Guo was smiling at Lu Chong, raised his hand, and laughed and said, "It turns out that he is a young and promising person. Brother Lu, please sit down."

Lu Zong walked over and sat on a stone bench calmly. After Mr. Guo poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, he asked calmly: "Mr. Guo is calling him down, I wonder what to do?"

Mr. Guo did not answer Lu Chong's question, and still said as he said: "I was a little surprised when I saw you coming out from the 'Cangmang Maze'. However, Lou Guan also assumed that you were the master of the martial arts realm, and it was difficult for us to get some assigned punishments here, so I didn't ask in detail, and I didn't expect you to be hiding your own strength."

Lu Tong didn't know what Mr. Guo was thinking, so he didn't answer. He just sat there quietly, raised the white porcelain tea cup and sipped it. But he felt that the warm tea had a warm smell. Mr. Guo stared at Lu Tong and asked, "Did you really come from the Alliance Secret Realm?"

Lu Chong raised his head and replied, "Yes, the Ziyun Continent of the Alliance's Secret Realm."

Mr. Guo thought for a while and said, "No matter what, even though you have been here for a year, you must not know the real function of the Zhengling Stone, right?"

Lu Chong nodded and replied, "I just heard that it is of great help to break through to the saints of the state of mind."

Mr. Guo quickly said: "That's true, but this kind of help cannot be successful in one go. Sometimes it takes many applications to achieve it. It depends on the conditions of each practitioner."

"In addition, the spirit stone is used to refine the ultimate artifact, which requires the realm of the saint and the heavenly priest to be used. However, for top formation masters, it is also a very useful array material."

Lu Chong sighed: "So that's it. No wonder everyone is extremely eager for the spirit stone."

The two of them were silent for a while, and Mr. Guo said again: "Your luck is really good, but you are too eager to achieve success and make such a big noise. You can't dig smoothly now, right?"

"I heard that Qi Dong and the others didn't get anything in the end. I guess you have found a way to explore, but it's difficult to use it now, right?"

Lu Chong had to smile bitterly, then calmly said: "Actually everything is God's will. Getting good things is always hard to come by."

Mr. Guo laughed and said, "I can help you. I can find a special channel for you to dig. No one can disturb you, so that you can find it slowly with confidence."

"I guess this method of digging must be something you have, because although Lou Guan and others once got a 'Xuan Ling Star', it was entirely due to luck. I don't care what method you used. If you want, I can also give you a high-end trading card that you have used for a long time."

Lu Chong said cautiously: "What can I do for Mr. Guo?"

Mr. Guo nodded happily and said, "I am almost over 600 years old. If I cannot break through the state of mind in another hundred years, I will have to die. I need the help of the Zhengling Stone. The Zhengling Stone paid by Lou Guan last time has been recorded and archived, and it must be handed over to the headquarters. So I hope you can give me a Zhengling Stone privately every year within three years."

Lu Tongjing quietly measured the situation. The current situation seemed to be done by those people on purpose, and the information that Mr. Guo knew must have been leaked by someone inside. It seems that only by adopting such a cooperation method can the excavation of the spirit stone be facilitated. Besides, with Mr. Guo’s secret support, he will be able to act better in the future. So he nodded slowly and said, “As Mr. Guo said.”

Mr. Guo happily threw Lu Tong a reddish-brown trading card and said slowly: "Okay, I know you are a young master of the True Qi Realm. In fact, you still have a lot of skills. The reason why I support you like this is because of your cleverness in formation. I want to tell you a secret thing now, and you can also prepare earlier."

Lu Chong said with a slight vibration: "Old Guo made Lu Chong a little frightened."

Mr. Guo said: "You don't have to be too humble. Everyone here hopes to escape from the place of punishment. One way is to improve through cultivation and finally use the spiritual energy of the spirit stone to break through to the state of mind. Another way is to get the recognition of the executors at the headquarters and can also be teleported to the mysterious realm of the Heavenly Fight."

Lu Tong was a little surprised when he heard what Mr. Guo said, and then he heard Mr. Guo continue: "I got a news that a selection battle will be held in three years. All the masters of the True Qi Realm under 300 are qualified to participate. The requirement is that they must be familiar with the tricks of cracking advanced magic circles and be able to dig out a piece of spirit stone in the mine vein alone within three months. They will be sent to the headquarters to participate in affairs, and then they will have the opportunity to obtain a second way back."

Lu Chong said with some confusion: "I guess it's not that easy, right?"

Mr. Guo smiled and said, "Your conditions are almost done. Telling you in advance can also give you more preparation time. Since we have started working together, you can also dig with confidence, but you still need to remember to act carefully."

Lu Chong nodded, stood up and bowed respectfully to Mr. Guo, put away the reddish-brown high-end trading card, passed through the thick phantom stone wall again, exited the three-story stone building, and returned to the miner's courtyard.

When Lu Chong informed the urgent Lou Guan and the other three of them that were talking about with Mr. Guo, the three of them sighed, were extremely dissatisfied with those who were jealous of the troublemakers, extremely resentful of the internal leakers, and at the same time, they were relieved that the matter would eventually achieve mutually beneficial results, and there was also the inspiring secret.

After a while, Lou Guan said sadly: "I don't have such conditions anymore, but you three must try their best to fight and strive for this rare opportunity in a century. I will fully support you."

Lu Chong, Lao Shen and Lao Jiang looked at each other and nodded seriously. At the same time, they were very moved by Lou Guan's sincerity.

The Louguan team got the special mining channel of the "19th". In order to keep the secret of excavation, they chose four very trusted strong men to be responsible for the excavation of the deep pit. Near the advanced ore, they were personally operated by several of them, while all the other personnel were sent to dig horizontal channels or deep pits without the spirit stones.
