In the center of the Anze Mountains, there is a mountain range spanning tens of thousands of miles. The millions of miles surrounding this mountain range show a thriving state.
The main peak, Lingze Peak, is eight thousand feet high, covering hundreds of miles in radius, and around it, there are five off-peak peaks, all of which are over five thousand feet high.
The scenery here is beautiful and the ravines are steep, and many rare and precious elixirs grow in them. Because with Lingze Peak as the center, thousands of feet deep underground, there lies a first-order immortal spiritual vein, which extends thousands of miles away.
It is precisely because of this fairy spirit vein that the beautiful scenery of Zhongling within tens of thousands of miles around Lingze Peak has been created.
It stands to reason that this kind of spiritual realm will inevitably be occupied by some large sects, dominating the area, but this is a place under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Clan. The Spirit Clan has nine ethnic groups, including gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, darkness, and nine elements.
Attributes.
There are usually a lot of conflicts between the nine major ethnic groups, and occasional frictions are not uncommon. However, when facing foreign races, the nine major ethnic groups are still very united. Moreover, the Nine Spirits Hall is established among the Spirit Clan, and the Nine Spirits Hall is
Located in the Nine Spirits Holy City, it is the center of power of the Nine Spirits Clan.
The Mahayana and Tribulation Realm monks of the nine major ethnic groups are basically the chief elders of the inner hall of the Nine Spirits Hall.
This first-order fairy vein in the Anze Mountains is directly affiliated with Jiuling Palace. It is the location of a fairy mineral vein under the jurisdiction of Jiuling Palace. Under the six peaks including Lingze Peak, there are countless
In the dark mine, many foreign mining slaves were coming in and out, transporting the spiritual stones dug out from the spiritual veins and handing them over to the stewards of Jiuling Palace here.
For this reason, the Ling clan built a grand palace at the foot of Lingze Peak, called Lingze Palace. The master of Lingze Palace was personally appointed by Jiuling Palace, and his realm cultivation level was at least above the high level of Fusion Realm.
, during special periods, powerful monks who have transcended the tribulation realm will even be sent to guard it.
Xiao Lin and the others passed through several partial peaks and soon arrived in front of Lingze Palace.
This is also their first stop in the Anze Mountains, where they need to exchange tokens and receive specific tasks from Lingze Palace.
On both sides of the entrance to Lingze Palace, there is a spiritual monk standing on each side. One has dark red skin, and the other has greenish skin.
Xiao Lin glanced at the two people and sensed that both of them were in the early stage of divine transformation. This made Xiao Lin very surprised. A dignified monk in the early stage of divine transformation was actually guarding the door here.
Moreover, Xiao Lin was sensing that there were probably many high-level monks hidden in Lingze Palace. As soon as the three of them arrived in front of the palace gate, he felt a dozen strands of divine consciousness sweeping over him, and these
The spiritual consciousness scan does not conceal anything, but carries a strong sense of provocation.
Although the three Xiao Lins were sullen in their hearts, they did not show it. Compared to the Spiritual Clan, the Human Clan was just a third-rate tribe and had no status at all here.
The three of them looked at each other and walked towards the palace gate.
Entering Lingze Palace, after passing through the long passage inside the palace, the three of them arrived at the main hall. In the middle of the main hall was a golden chair, which was magnificent, but there was no one on it.
On the left side of the main hall, there is a table, and on the inside of the table is an old man in his fifties with a sallow complexion.
The old man raised his triangular eyes, glanced at the three of them, and then said calmly: "You are human monks sent by the Tianmu clan, right?"
"Yes." The three of them answered almost in unison.
"Come here and receive the mission." The old man waved his hand to the three of them.
When the three of them came to the table, he continued: "My name is Tu Bo, and I am a member of the Tu Ling tribe. I am responsible for distributing your tasks. There are some easy ones, some difficult ones, and even some tasks.
The mission can be said to be a narrow escape, but for the three of you, it shouldn't be a problem.
The old man suddenly opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.
When Xiao Lin heard this, his heart moved, a flash of light flashed in his hand, and a bag appeared.
"Our cultivation is shallow, so I hope Tu Bo can assign us an easier task."
Xiao Lin casually placed the bag on the table and said to the old man with a smile.
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Lin approvingly, then picked up the bag, weighed it gently, and peeked inside, then showed a satisfied expression.
"Young man is very ambitious. Anyway, here is a mission to protect the Qingze Peak Mine. You are responsible for protecting the safety around the mine. The main purpose is to prevent the spiritual stones dug out from the Qingze Peak Mine from being attacked and stolen by Bone Race spies.
Go, of course, you can also take the initiative and clean up the Bone Race spies around you regularly. After ten years of duty, you can rest for ten years. Of course, if the Bone Race spies still succeed, you must appropriately increase the number of years of guarding, or even change the tasks and assignments.
Some missions with a higher risk factor."
The old man said, then stretched out his palm and waved towards the three of them.
The three people understood immediately and took out the tokens one after another and handed them to the old man.
The old man took the tokens from the three people and used a secret method to burn the mission into the tokens. The tokens immediately changed colors.
After finishing, the old man threw the token to the three people.
"The mission details have been burned into the token. You can use the token to enter and exit the mine. At the same time, you can also open caves around Qingze Peak for training. But there is one thing you must remember.
Spiritual stones must not be guarded and stolen, otherwise once discovered, they will be killed on the spot and both body and soul will be destroyed."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Lin and the others to ask, the old man waved his hands to the three of them, indicating that they could leave.
After the three people left the main hall, they determined the direction, and then turned into three rainbows and flew away.
In the main hall, the old man opened the cloth bag and looked at the hundreds of middle-grade spiritual stones inside, with a split smile on his lips.
"Good boy, you really know the current affairs and you have a bright future." After saying that, he put away the spirit stone with a smile, and then lay down on the table, showing a drowsy look.
Qingze Mountain is one of the five partial peaks of Lingze Mountain. It is located thousands of miles south of Lingze Peak and covers an area of hundreds of miles.
Qingze Mountain is surrounded by mountains, and between the mountains, dozens of bright blue orbs are dotted, forming a lake. The big ones are dozens of miles long, and the small ones are several acres in size.
.
To the south of Qingze Mountain is a wilderness with piles of soil rising one after another. On both sides of the wilderness, near the lake, rows of houses have been built sparsely.
Especially on a hillside on the right, a small village has formed, and you can vaguely see people coming and going inside.
Xiao Lin and the others flew to the south slope of Qingze Mountain, pressed the escape light, and fell downwards.
The three people fell to the ground and saw that there were at least hundreds of densely packed mines on the side of Qingze Mountain. From these mines, tired figures walked out from time to time. They carried bamboo baskets on their backs, which were full of food.
of soil and gravel.
At the same time, many miners walked out of the mine and headed towards the attic next to it. The attic had two sides, neither big nor small. There was a huge amount of spiritual pressure faintly exuding on the second floor. Apparently there were cultivators stationed there.
When Xiao Lin and the others fell down, a huge spiritual force shot towards them.
Before the three of them could speak, they heard a voice coming from the attic: "Are the three of you mine protectors? I'm at Qingfeng, and they are members of the Wood Spirit tribe. Please go upstairs and talk in detail."
There was a hint of dominance in this person's words. When Xiao Lin and others had just searched for him with their spiritual consciousness, they had already judged that this person was in the late stage of divine transformation. Normally, they would naturally not
The rhetoric is false, but the situation is different now. Although the Wood Spirit clan member named Qingfeng is not higher than the three others in terms of realm, his status is much higher than that of the human clan.
With a bit of arrogance, it seems to be reasonable.
After the three of them glanced at each other, they shot towards the attic and walked into the attic. On the first floor of the attic, the three of them saw more than a dozen people from the spirit tribe, who were collecting the spirit stones and various kinds of things dug by the miners.
Associated ores.
Most of these miners are from the Dwarf Tu tribe. They are short in stature but have thick and powerful limbs. They look extremely relaxed carrying a bamboo basket that is much larger than themselves.
After a brief observation, Xiao Lin found that most of these Dwarf Earth people had practiced some superficial body-refining techniques, and their combat power was probably only equivalent to the human race's foundation-building stage.
Xiao Lin and the others did not stop on the first floor, but went straight up the stairs to the second floor.
In the hall on the second floor, there was a person sitting upright. This person's skin was light blue and he was short in stature, but he exuded a fierce pressure.
Seeing the three of them, he couldn't help but smile: "You three, please take a seat."
Xiao Lin and the other two were not polite and found a chair to sit down on.
"In Xiaguyin, these two are Taoist Fellow Xiao Lin and Fairy Zhu Danyu. We have accepted the task of guarding the Qingze Mountain Mine. I think Fellow Taoist Qingfeng is the person in charge of the Qingze Mine, right?"
Hearing this, Qingfeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Qingfeng is just a nobody, how can he become the person in charge of the Qingze mine? The person in charge is senior Qinghua, who is also Qingfeng's uncle. Qingfeng is just a person."
It’s just a stewardship.”
"It turns out it's Manager Qing. You're polite. Since we have the responsibility of guarding, we won't bother you here. We should go patrol around Qingze Peak to prevent the Bone Race monks from infiltrating."
"There's no rush." Qingfeng waved his hand.
"Do you have any other orders from Manager Qing?" Gu Yin was slightly startled and asked.
"Oh, actually it's not a big deal. It's like this. A few days ago, the figure of the Bone Burial Clan appeared near Heize Lake to the east of Lingze Mountain. This Bone Burial Clan is very mysterious among the Bone Clan. There are very few
appear, and once the Bone Burial Tribe appears, based on our Spirit Tribe and their many years of combat experience, there must be a huge conspiracy hidden. However, Qing has been searching for a long time and has not been able to find out where their conspiracy is. If the three of them can find out
The reason is nothing more than merit?"
"The mission of the three of us is to protect the Lingze Mountain Mine. The Bone Burial Clan's conspiracy seems to have nothing to do with our mission. Besides, if we go to investigate the Bone Burial Clan, and if the Bone Clan takes the opportunity to sneak attack on the Lingze Mountain Mine, then
Isn't it possible to focus on one thing and lose the other?" Gu Yin said after pondering for a moment.
"Haha, Qing certainly knows the mission of the three of them, but since the Bone Burial Clan has appeared near Lingze Mountain, it seems that their conspiracy is aimed at us. If we can't find out their purpose, wouldn't we be passively defending?
It’s easy for them to succeed.”
When Gu Yin and the other three heard this, they all fell silent. What Qingfeng said was not unreasonable.
Moreover, before Xiao Lin and others came to Hongshan City, they had learned about the Bone Clan in many ways. The Bone Clan has many branches, even more complicated than the Spirit Clan. For example, the Bone King of the Blood Bone Clan who died in Xiao Lin's hands,
In fact, it is a branch of the Bone Clan, and the Bone Burial Clan is also a branch of the Bone Clan.
The Bone Burial Tribe is good at the earth escape technique among the Five Elements Spiritual Shield. Earth Escape is their innate magical power. It can be said that they are like a fish in water when walking underground. Not only that, when the Bone Burial Tribe uses the earth escape technique to hide underground, unless it is
The realm is beyond their realm, otherwise it would be impossible to find their traces.
Even if they are a level higher than them, their traces can only be discovered through the power of spiritual consciousness within a hundred feet.
The Spirit Tribe is a race that is good at magic, but even the Earth Spirit Tribe among the Spirit Tribe, although they are more talented than the Bone Burial Tribe in most of the earth spells, they are far inferior to the Earth Escape Technique.
Far inferior.
Qingfeng is a member of the Wood Spirit Clan among the Spirit Clan, and he is Mu Ketu, but even he showed his helplessness towards the Bone Burial Clan, which shows how difficult this matter is.
"In this way, as long as the three of them can find out the Bone Burial Clan's conspiracy and destroy it, Qingfeng is willing to report it to the elders of the clan and record an immortal skill from the three of them. You must know that this immortal skill is the highest merit you can obtain. It is enough.
It allows each of the three to increase their merit points by 30,000. The head of a Bone Clan monk of the same level is worth 10,000 merit points. This task allows the three of them to avoid having to kill three monks of the same level."
"Thirty thousand merit worth?" Upon hearing this reward, Xiao Lin and the other three began to hesitate.
This temptation is indeed not small. After all, they are waiting here passively. It is not known how many years and months they will be able to accumulate enough merit points. Maybe a war between the two clans will really break out. They are 90% likely.
Will become cannon fodder in the war.
At the same time, they also had some hesitation in their hearts. Qingfeng gave them the feeling that he was not reliable and honest, and they did not know the strength of the Bone Burying Clan that appeared in the surrounding area. If a few Bone Burying Clan members from the Void Refining Realm appeared, they would
A little strength is almost the same as sending someone to death.
"Don't worry, you three. Although Qing is not very sure, he is at least sixty-seven sure that the Bone Buried Clan will never have any cultivators from the Void Realm come here this time, because there are thousands of miles around Lingze Peak.
Everyone inside is under the shroud of the Immortal Light of the Wood Spirit of our Wood Spirit Clan. Whenever there is a Bone Clan monk above the Void Refining Realm, it will cause the Wood Demon to move. At that time, the Elders of the Void Refining Realm of our Wood Spirit Clan will definitely take action.
, kill him personally.”
"Within ten thousand miles? What Manager Qing was just talking about was the traces of the Bone Burial Tribe found near Heize Lake. As far as Xiao knows, Heize Lake is tens of thousands of miles south of Lingze Mountain and seems to have exceeded Qingze Lake."
The range covered by the Immortal Light of the Wood Spirit as mentioned by the steward has reached its limit."
"Haha." After hearing this, Steward Qing smiled slightly awkwardly, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, there is no need to worry. Lingze Mountain is not the main target of the Bone Clan. The probability of the Void Refining Realm monks coming is low. Of course, if the three of you are worried about yourself,
If your safety is in danger, you can refuse to accept this task, but Qing will also report to the Elders Council and use the excuse of non-cooperation to double the merit points required for the three of them to gain freedom."
Manager Qing's words made the three of them look ugly.
