Chapter 90: There is no traitor, steal some spirit stones!
Lingshi Mine, standing in front of the mine tunnels, Ye Changsheng called a Qi Refining disciple and asked, "I heard that people often disappeared here inexplicably in the past?"
"Yes, Uncle Master, many Qi Refining disciples have disappeared inexplicably in the mines before. We have investigated several times, but we have not found the reason!"
"Maybe... there is some monster in the mine tunnel!" said the Qi-refining disciple after a moment of hesitation.
"Monster? Are you sure?"
"My dear uncle, this is just a rumor circulating among us low-level disciples. There is no definite evidence!" said the Qi-refining disciple from Tianque Fort with a wry smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng showed a thoughtful look on his face.
Then he asked, "In which area did those people disappear?"
After hearing this, the man immediately took out an old map and pointed to an area on it, saying, "It's probably in this area. The spiritual stones in this area are almost exhausted. After the disappearance incident, we completely gave up mining this area!"
Ye Changsheng took the map, looked at it carefully, and wrote down the location.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xuan Le was talking to Yu Xing, but his occasional side glances at him showed that he was actually secretly paying attention to Ye Changsheng.
With a sneer in his heart, Ye Changsheng walked into the mine and deliberately said to the Qi-refining disciple from Tianque Fort : "I'll go over there and see if there really is any monster causing trouble!"
After walking into the mine, Ye Changsheng’s figure soon disappeared.
After a while, Xuan Le and Yu Xing finished their conversation, walked over casually, and stood next to the Qi-refining disciple from Tianque Fort.
He asked casually, "Just now I saw Junior Brother Ye from the Yellow Maple Valley walk into the mine tunnel. Is there anything wrong with him?"
Faced with the questioning of a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, this Qi Refining disciple naturally did not dare to hide anything.
He said respectfully, "Uncle Ye asked me about the mysterious disappearance of someone in the mine a few years ago, and he said he would go investigate what happened!"
"Oh? Did he say that?" Xuan Le's voice became a little strange.
"Disciple dare not hide anything!" the Qi Refining disciple said hurriedly.
"You can go down!" Xuan Le said with a smile and in a gentle manner.
"yes."
With his hands behind his back, Xuan Le looked at the area that Ye Changsheng had entered, and his eyes suddenly became cold and gloomy.
"Investigating missing persons? What on earth is this junior fellow from the Yellow Maple Valley thinking?"
"Is he really interested in these cases, or does he know something too?"
Xuan Le's face became extremely gloomy, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"It will take some time to prepare, Junior Brother Ye. Before that, you must not force me to take action in advance!"
Turning around, Xuan Le's expression became gentle again, and he called a disciple from the Yanyue Sect.
"You just wait here for Junior Brother Ye from the Yellow Maple Valley to come out, and then tell him that there is something important to discuss with him!"
"Yes, Uncle Master!"
…
Following the instructions on the map, Ye Changsheng came to the area where someone had disappeared.
There are many mine tunnels here, and the dark and deep tunnels lead to nowhere.
Even for people who have worked here for many years, it is difficult to figure out how many tunnels have been dug underground in such a large-scale spiritual stone mine.
After Ye Changsheng walked through several mine tunnels, he did not sense any aura related to the Blood Jade Spider.
Shaking his head, he thought: "Let's go steal some spirit stones first. There's no rush for the Blood Jade Spider!"
The spiritual stones dug out from the spiritual stone mines are usually placed in a centralized place.
There are some kind of restrictions on these spirit stones. If the restrictions are not removed, they cannot be put into the storage bag and taken away.
This is done to prevent someone from sneakily taking all the spirit stones.
Often, only at the beginning of a month, when the spirit stones are handed over, will Yu Xing, a foundation-building cultivator, open the restriction.
Yu Xing had explained these things in detail to Ye Changsheng and Xuan Le before.
However, Ye Changsheng had no intention of touching the spirit stones that had already been dug out.
His target was the spiritual stone vein hidden deep in the mine.
Find an area rich in spirit stones, and then use the power of your right hand to absorb all the spirit stones here.
Ye Changsheng left the area where the blood jade spider was active and walked towards the areas where the mineral veins were more concentrated.
After walking for a long distance, I finally saw a piece of glittering spiritual stone.
A look of delight appeared on his face.
"Luckily, I found all the auxiliary materials before I came here. I used the materials of the fish dragon to prepare the elixir for cleansing the eyes, which greatly enhanced my vision. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to quickly find the spiritual stone in this dark underground!"
He walked towards the exposed spiritual stone.
He made many copies of the ichthyosaur material he got from the UFO swamp, and used them all to cleanse his eyes, which increased his vision several times.
And seeing in the dark is not much different from seeing in the light.
Now the range that his eyesight can observe is far beyond his spiritual sense.
With super eyesight, he is naturally like a fish in water in this dark mine.
Walking to the spiritual stone, Ye Changsheng placed his right hand on it and said silently in his heart: "Copy!"
"brush!"
The next moment, all the spirit stones in front of him disappeared, and a pitch-black fruit appeared in Ye Changsheng's hand.
Xuanyin fruit!
A three thousand year old Xuanyin fruit had been analyzed in the Blood Forbidden Land before. Now Ye Changsheng copied it with the help of the spiritual stones here.
Although this fruit is of no use to him, if he keeps it in his hand, it may come in handy someday in the future.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Xuanyin fruits appeared in Ye Changsheng's hands.
When he wanted to continue copying, suddenly, there was a loud noise in front of him.
"boom!"
The mine tunnel collapsed and large pieces of rock fell down, making a loud noise.
After the spirit stone was sucked away, the place it originally occupied was suddenly empty, losing its supporting power.
So, the mine tunnel collapsed directly.
Ye Changsheng quickly avoided the collapsed mine tunnel and ran outside.
"What's going on?"
"It seems like the mine tunnel has collapsed somewhere!"
"Go check out the situation!"
"Wait, don't go in yet. The mine is the most dangerous right now. Wait until everything calms down!" said a steady voice.
When Ye Changsheng slipped to the exit of the mine, he heard someone talking like this.
Walking out calmly, Ye Changsheng saw several Qi-refining disciples over there.
When they saw him, they hurriedly called him respectfully, "Uncle Master Ye!"
"Well, I was just inside investigating a disappearance when I heard this noise. What happened?"
"Uncle Master, it seems that a mine tunnel has collapsed somewhere!"
“Oh, I see!”
At this time, a disciple of the Yanyue Sect stepped forward and said, "Uncle Ye, Uncle Xuanle invites Uncle Ye to join us!"
