Ye Chen closed his eyes and crossed his legs, taking a fourth-level Peiyuan Pill to practice. After the Peiyuan Pill melted in his abdomen, it turned into a faint ray of vitality, which circulated in his body. After a short while, this ray of vitality was very strong.
It was almost completely absorbed by his soul.
The Yuan Shen, which is as big as an egg, is in the form of gas at this time and no longer changes in size. However, the Yuan Shen is constantly absorbing the Yuan Qi and concentrating it. As the Yuan Shen strengthens, the light of the Yuan Shen gradually becomes brighter.
Ye Chen felt that the soul was getting brighter and brighter, and couldn't help but secretly said, "I am already in the middle of the first level of foundation building at the mountain gate. I have been in seclusion for more than half a year, and I have been on the road for several months. Now the soul has reached the peak of the first level of foundation building.
We are about to break through the second level! It is estimated that we will be able to break through the second level in the next few days, it is just a matter of time."
"The three intermediate magical powers of Xiao Sanqi, Ice Wind and Thunder, have been able to be released. However, the training time is short, and the three magic seals have only been completed less than one-tenth, so the power is still small."
"After completing all nine levels of the Qi Training Chapter of "Sword Qi Jue", you can emit nine one-foot-long sword Qi. Next, you will practice the Foundation Building Chapter of "Sword Qi Jue", and you can emit sword Qi that is one foot long."
On this day, Ye Chen finished practicing and came out of the stone chamber of the Diyan Mountain cave.
He Feng, who was in the stone room next to him, did not know where he had gone.
At this time, Ye Chen was a little surprised by the lively scene in the Diyan Mountain cave.
Ye Chen's stone chamber was near the small square of the cave. At a glance, he saw nearly a thousand monks gathered in this small square. There were stalls doing business, and small groups gathered to chat and discuss. It was very lively.
"Brother Ye!"
"Brother Ye is out! I'm worried that if you don't come out, you might miss the opening of the passage on the second floor of the cave!"
"The two of us have been in the cave these past few days, exploring everywhere, and have learned a lot about the situation."
Master Kong Xian and Master Wu were waiting outside. When they saw Ye Chen coming out of the stone room, they quickly reported to Ye Chen the various conditions of Diyan Mountain that they had inquired about in the past few days. The varieties of various ores in Diyan Mountain,
There are also mineral spots scattered throughout the cave.
In their hands, there were also ores dug from various mining sites. Each variety was dug up to the size of a thumb for Ye Chen to check.
After hearing their reports, Ye Chen held the ores in his hands and explained them carefully, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
He once stayed in the Nanhu Mining Area of Tianxu Sect and has a deeper understanding of the mine than ordinary monks.
There are many kinds of minerals in the caves on the first level of Diyan Mountain. There are nearly twenty kinds, all of which are mainly fire minerals. If Diyan Mountain was developed into a mine, it would probably be a large mine with a scale of at least
It is more than ten times larger than the Nanhu Mining Area.
This is only the first level of Diyan Mountain.
If the second layer of caves being excavated is included, the scale of the Diyanshan mining area may be even larger.
Tianxumen will not remain indifferent to such a large-scale mining area. Especially, the Diyan Mountain is still on the border of the Ulan Empire under the jurisdiction of Tianxumen, and it is definitely an asset of Tianxumen in name.
If he reports the situation of Diyan Mountain to Tianxu Sect, it will be a great achievement. This is an additional contribution to the sect.
After hearing the reports of the two of them, Ye Chen already knew what was going on. He gave each of them fifty spiritual stones as a reward.
Kong and Wu were overjoyed. They just walked around Diyan Mountain and asked around, and they got such a reward in a few days. You must know that ordinary low-level Qi practitioners may not be able to earn ten yuan after working hard for a month.
Spiritual stone.
Ye Chen asked the two of them to continue to collect information about the disciples of the Fire Worshiping Sect and the monks in the Diyan Mountain. The Tianxu Sect would send disciples to control the Diyan Mountain, and this information was very important.
Kong and Wu were naturally overjoyed. After all, with their extremely low cultivation levels, they did not dare to venture into the second level of the cave. They might as well stay on the first level of the cave to collect information for Ye Chen.
Later, Ye Chen came to the small square on the first floor of the cave.
Nearly a thousand monks have gathered in this small square. Among them, there are no less than thirty or fifty monks in the foundation building stage, and as many as two hundred in the late stage of Qi refining. Judging from their different costumes, they are obviously not the same.
A powerful monk.
These monks are eagerly waiting for the second layer of cave to be bought.
Ye Chen appeared in the square. Dozens of spiritual consciousness swept over him and found that he was an ordinary monk in the Qi refining stage, so they quickly moved away.
"The second level passage of Diyan Mountain should be dug today!"
"I just don't know what kind of powerful monsters there are on the second floor! I heard that when I was exploring the first floor of Diyan Mountain, I encountered many third-level monsters and killed several monks!"
"There must be monsters guarding the treasures near the heaven, material and earth. The higher the level of the spirit treasure, the stronger the guardian monsters will be. On the second floor of this cave, there will probably be powerful monsters above the fourth level. Only monks in the foundation building stage will appear.
, can compete with these fourth-level monsters and above."
"Then let's go in together! If we encounter a monster beast of level 4 or above, we can take care of each other!"
"What I'm more worried about is that the monks from the Fire Worship Sect will take these spiritual treasures as their own!"
"We all paid a hundred spiritual stones and bought a token to enter the Earthly Flame Mountain. Let's enter the second level of the cave to look for spiritual treasures. We must at least earn back our capital! Otherwise, this trip will be in vain!"
Ye Chen was walking among the crowd of monks and heard many monks in the late stage of Qi Refining talking at random, discussing how to enter the second level passage to find the spiritual treasure.
Most of the monks here are in groups, either they have known each other for a long time, or they are monks from the same family and sect. Only a few monks come alone to this Diyan Mountain to adventure in search of spiritual treasures.
To identify the identities of the monks, you can tell from their clothes and the logos on their sleeves. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the monks deliberately concealed themselves to prevent other monks from discovering their origins.
Ye Chen actually did not intervene in the chatter of the monks in the square. He just looked around and secretly took note of the high-level foundation-building monks among the crowd. Maybe he would meet them after entering the second level of the cave.
About an hour or two passed.
Suddenly, there was a small commotion among the crowd. Dozens of Fire Worship Sect monks stood out from the crowd and stood high on the first floor of the cave.
Ye Chen looked over immediately.
The person leading them was none other than the pale young master of the Fire Worshiping Sect whom he had seen before, and beside him were several foundation-building monks from the Fire Worshiping Sect.
"Everyone, I am Xu Wei of the Fire Worshiping Sect. After several months of hard work, the second passage into the cave is about to be opened. During this time, the Fire Worshiping Sect has occupied Diyan Mountain. I'm afraid everyone has some complaints in their hearts.
.However, I, the Fire Worship Sect, also spent a huge amount of money to open up the passage in the cave. It is natural to charge everyone a small fee for digging the spiritual stones from the mountain."
A young monk with a pale face raised his voice.
In the small square, some foundation-building monks from other forces sneered in low voices.
"One person can come in with one hundred spiritual stones, and we have at least one or two thousand monks gathered here. This amount alone accounts for more than one or two million spiritual stones, not to mention the spiritual objects found here.
Why do we need so many spiritual stones to use mining slaves to dig mountains? The Fire Worship Sect is taking this opportunity to make money."
"This Ulan Empire is the land of the Tianxu Immortal Sect. Once the Tianxu Sect discovers that the Earth Flame Mountain has been occupied by the Fire Worshiping Sect, they will still have good fruits to eat! A small Fire Worshiping Sect, even
Even the nine immortal sects cannot be ranked, how dare you compare with the Tianxu Immortal Sect, the largest immortal sect in Yunzhou!"
"The Worshiping Fire Sect is very sneaky and tries their best to cover up the news. It's not because they are afraid of being discovered by the Tianxu Sect!"
The foundation-building monks did not take the young leader of the Fire Worship Sect seriously at all. They were either monks from big families or outstanding monks among the casual monks. They had rich experience in traveling around Yunzhou. The Fire Worship Sect
Although he has strength, he does not dare to provoke public anger.
The pale-faced monk looked a little embarrassed when he heard the discussion below the small square, but he continued, "In half an hour, the passage on the second level of the cave will be opened. Everyone, go in one by one. Don't fight needlessly inside.
According to my exploration of the Fire Worship Sect, there are at least dozens or hundreds of miles of caves on this second level. There are a large number of rare and strange treasures hidden in them, enough for everyone to explore. Of course, the danger of this second level is definitely also
High, monks in the early stage of Qi refining who are not strong enough should not enter at will. Monks in the middle and late stages of Qi refining are best to go together in groups. As for the monks in the foundation building stage, that's up to you."
The young master of the Fire Worship Sect was still talking, but the monks below had long been impatient. Many monks left the small square and gathered at the place where the mine slaves were digging caves.
"Look, the passage on the second floor is about to be dug! The rock wall is only one foot thick. If you buy it, you can enter the next floor!" I don't know who shouted excitedly.
"let me!"
Some monks in the Qi Refining Stage couldn't bear it any longer and simply asked the mine slaves to get out of the way.
The mining slaves used mining shovels to dig out the rock bit by bit, but the speed was too slow.
They released a large number of fireballs, ice arrows, and earth arrows, hitting the rocks. The huge power of dozens of magical powers smashed the ten-foot-thick rock into pieces.
"boom!"
A cowardly stone wall was forcibly blown open by the monks, opening a mouth several feet in size, enough to accommodate more than ten people passing through at the same time.
On the second floor of the cave, a strong breath of fire spirit came from inside, forming a wave of fire.
The dozen Qi-refining stage monks standing near the cave were immediately knocked upside down by the wave of fire. Even the foundation-building stage monks were forced back by the wave of fire, looking horrified.
The second layer of fire aura in Diyan Mountain Cave is several times stronger than the first layer.
However, this could not stop the monks from being ecstatic and excited at all.
"The second layer of the cave has been opened!"
"Let's go! Brothers, go find the spiritual objects!"
The monks cheered and roared, rushing towards the passage several feet in size, and rushed into the second-level cave of Diyan Mountain.
The monks who were still in the square heard the news and rushed towards the cave one after another. Soon there was no one in the square, and they were all preparing to enter the cave.
Ye Chen went in alone, and his cultivation would be easily hindered by teaming up with other low-level Qi-training monks.
Xu Wei, the young master of the Fire Worshiping Sect, had no choice but to lead a group of Fire Worshiping Sect disciples and followed him into the cave.
