"Senior brother, please take action!"

The monk in the bamboo hat clasped his fists respectfully, showing a humble attitude.

"You wait and stay back while I take action to repair the formation."

While he was speaking, Senior Brother Zhao had already stepped out. The aura from his body was slowly released, and his cultivation level was actually at the tenth level of Forged Body.

Raising his hand to cast a few spells, the ground around Senior Brother Zhao lit up with a mysterious pattern. Yellow light continued to pour out from Senior Brother Zhao's feet, forming tiny vortices in several places on the pattern.

When the vortex was first formed, it formed a strong suction force, wildly attracting the surrounding spiritual energy. With a bang, the surrounding spiritual energy shook, and the patterns under Senior Brother Zhao's feet disappeared.

"Okay, the formation pattern has been re-established and the formation has been repaired. Now it's not appropriate for me to stay here for a long time. It's better to leave quickly."

Senior Brother Zhao took the lead to leave, and the other three followed without saying anything. Among these four people, it was obvious that Senior Brother Zhao was following his lead.

The departure of several people did not make Xu Chenglin relax his vigilance. In his consciousness, these people did not go far before quietly turning back.

After less than a cup of tea, the four of them returned to the formation location again. They searched separately but found nothing. Senior Brother Zhao frowned as if thinking about something.

"It shouldn't be. When I just repaired the formation, I clearly felt a breath passing by. Could it be that I took the opportunity to slip away?"

Senior Brother Zhao said to himself, with no intention of explaining to the three of them.

The monk in the hat probably understood what Senior Brother Zhao said, so he asked carefully from the side.

"Senior Brother Zhao, is it because you overworked yourself and made a mistake?"

"Junior Brother Wang, are you doubting Senior Brother Zhao again? What are your intentions?"

The pudgy monk roared angrily, but his triumphant look betrayed his heart.

"you……"

The monk in the bamboo hat was furious and glared at the fat man fiercely. Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, the square-faced man had no choice but to look at Senior Brother Zhao for help.

"That's enough! Are you two done with it!? You've been fighting with each other all day long. If you have the ability, you can do something big for me alone! Two things that can't be built up by mud! If you delay a big thing, you two will suffer.

eat!"

Senior Brother Zhao's voice almost roared out, making both of them shrink back in fear. Seeing that Senior Brother Zhao was already angry, both of them were silent and did not dare to speak anymore.

Seeing that both of them were silent, Senior Brother Zhao snorted and threw away his sleeves. The square-faced man shook his head and followed. The two glared at each other and followed.

After confirming that several people had left, Xu Chenglin slowly walked out of the invisible bushes. He stretched out his hand to put away the escape talisman and looked carefully into the distance.

"Aomu Gate, Blood Plain, Blood Crystal, ordered to cover. It seems that a person from the sect is collecting treasures in front of me. Anyway, I don't know which way to go, so I might as well go and have a look. If the timing is right, maybe

You can also take the opportunity to make some bargains.”

Carefully avoiding the repaired formations, Xu Chenglin released his spiritual consciousness and moved forward cautiously. After avoiding several more formations along the way, he finally walked out of the waist-deep fluffy grass.

Looking up, Xu Chenglin saw an open plain. Some unknown plants were growing on this plain, and the entire plain showed a bright red color.

The breeze blows, and the plain is like blood flowing. Looking at this plain, Xu Chenglin understands why several people call this place the bloody plain.

From a distance, Xu Chenglin saw a group of more than ten people searching for something seriously. Without going up to interrogate him, he already understood that these people were from Qingmumen.

Seeing these people finding some red crystals from time to time, Xu Chenglin immediately thought of the blood crystals mentioned by Senior Brother Zhao. After observing for a while, he found that the four Senior Brother Zhao were not among these people.

After some thought, a bold idea

It slowly formed in Xu Chenglin's mind. He quickly used the innate art of changing the fetus, and in less than ten breaths, he turned into the appearance of a short and fat monk.

After clearing his throat, Xu Chenglin changed his voice to that of a short, fat monk. After checking carefully to confirm that there were no flaws in his disguise, Xu Chenglin stepped forward and walked towards those people with a proud look on his face.

"How many blood crystals have been found?"

Xu Chenglin walked towards a tall, thin monk with a slightly kind-looking appearance and asked questions without any politeness.

The tall and thin monk frowned and stopped searching, looked at the visitor with an unhappy expression, and replied impatiently.

"This matter is not your business, so I have no obligation to report it to you."

"Hmph! We've worked hard to cover you for a long time, why don't we just ask about the situation? Besides, I'm here on behalf of Senior Brother Zhao, how dare you disobey Senior Brother Zhao?"

With a sneer, Xu Chenglin looked at the tall and thin monk with a mocking look.

Looking at the fat man with a sneer on his face and his nostrils turned upward, the tall and thin monk gritted his teeth.

"Blood crystals are not easy to find in the outer area. We searched for a long time and only found dozens of them."

"Only a few dozen? I really don't understand, what on earth have you been doing for so long!"

After muttering something in a low voice that the tall and thin monk could hear, Xu Chenglin turned to look at the others.

After scanning the circle and finding that they were all busy, Xu Chenglin concluded that the senior brother mentioned by several people earlier was not here. So he rolled his eyes and asked as if he had accidentally asked.

"Where has Senior Brother gone?"

"Eldest Brother and the others have already gone to the forest in advance, and now we are the only ones here collecting blood crystals."

Ignoring Xu Chenglin anymore, the tall and thin monk turned around and continued searching for the blood crystal.

"These people are quite afraid of the so-called Senior Brother Zhao. The real person in charge, Senior Brother, is not here yet. God help me!"

As soon as his mind changed, Xu Chenglin already had a plan.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I have been ordered by Senior Brother Zhao to bring all the blood crystals in your hands to me for safekeeping. Now you go and collect all the blood crystals in everyone's hands."

Xu Chenglin ordered in a commanding tone. The tall and thin monk felt aggrieved, but he did not dare to disobey Senior Brother Zhao Yu's order. The tall and thin monk asked for the blood crystals in the hands of more than ten people one by one and counted them.

He handed the number to Xu Chenglin.

"There are forty-one in total. Count them yourself! Don't accuse me of deducting them privately if the numbers don't match up when the time comes."

The tall and thin monk had a very ugly expression on his face. He reluctantly threw a small storage bag at Xu Chenglin.

Catching the storage bag with his backhand, Xu Chenglin's consciousness sank into the storage bag to check. He saw a small pile of blood-red transparent crystals stacked in the storage bag. The number was exactly forty-one.

Speaking of the blood crystal, Xu Chenglin had never heard of it, and he didn't know what its uses were. But seeing that everyone wasted their time searching for the blood crystal, he knew with his toes that it must be a good thing.

"I really don't understand what the use of this blood-colored transparent stone is. Senior Brother Zhao actually asked me to make a special trip."

He held the storage bag in his hand, tossed it twice, and put it into his arms. Xu Chenglin seemed to have no intention of doing it, and muttered something insinuating.

"It's really ignorant! Blood crystal is something that is rare to find. Its main function is to refine elixirs that strengthen the body. The famous Xue Ba Pill is made from blood crystal. Of course, it can also be used

The blood energy tempered by the spiritual power is directly absorbed, but the effect is worse than refining it into elixirs."

After being frustrated for a long time, I finally had the opportunity to laugh at Xu Chenglin. Of course the lanky monk would not be polite. Little did he know that the lanky monk’s behavior played into Xu Chenglin’s hands.

"There are more than ten people here at the Qingmu Gate, four people are on guard outside, plus a few people heading to the forest, there are nearly twenty people in total. Look.

This Qingmu Sect is not a small sect, and if we continue, it might reveal its flaws. Now that all the benefits have been obtained, and the required information has been obtained, it is time to leave."

At this thought, Xu Chenglin snorted coldly, turned around and walked away towards the forest.

Watching Xu Chenglin leave, the lanky monk subconsciously felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it for a moment, the lanky monk realized that Xu Chenglin was leaving in the wrong direction.

He frowned and shouted at Xu Chenglin's back.

"Junior Brother Zhu, where are you going? Could it be that under the guise of Senior Brother Zhao's order, you want to swallow the blood spar privately?"

Xu Chenglin, who was walking, paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at the tall and thin monk with an unkind expression.

"Hmph! The heart of a villain. I was ordered by Senior Brother Zhao to collect the blood crystals and chase Senior Brother. Do I still have to report this to you? Do your own business seriously and don't meddle in other people's business!"

Ignoring the tall and thin monk, Xu Chenglin left a little faster.

After being blocked by Xu Chenglin's words, the tall and thin monk cursed someone for taking advantage of his own strength, then turned around and dived into the blood-colored plants.

After being busy for about half an hour, the tall and thin monk stopped again. A monk wearing a bamboo hat appeared behind him and greeted him politely and politely.

"This senior brother, I came here to investigate and collect the results on the order of senior brother Zhao."

The tall and thin monk was slightly startled, and then looked at the person coming with a strange look.

"On the order of Senior Brother Zhao? Didn't Junior Brother Zhu come here just now?"

When the monk in the bamboo hat heard the answer from the tall and thin monk, his heartbeat skipped a beat for no reason.

"Junior Brother Zhu has been here? Which Junior Brother Zhu?"

"Junior Brother Wang, I know that you and Junior Brother Zhu are not on good terms, but you can't ask knowingly. There is another Junior Brother Zhu who is not the fat man who acted with you."

"This is impossible. Senior Brother Zhao only sent me here. I just had a quarrel with Senior Brother Zhu over this errand. He is still with Senior Brother Zhao and the others."

The monk in the hat said firmly, and at the same time he realized that something was wrong.

"Impossible! Junior Brother Zhu just came here and took away the blood crystal stones from everyone's hands. Everyone present can testify to this!"

The tall and thin monk did not realize that something was wrong, he just thought that the visitor had misunderstood. So he refused to give in and hurriedly called his companions around to testify for him.

"What! Taken away all the blood crystals?"

An inexplicable panic arose in the heart of the monk in the hat, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Hurry up and send a summons signal to invite Senior Brother Zhao to come. This matter is a bit strange. And you said that Senior Brother Zhu has left. Wherever he went, quickly find him!"

Junior Brother Wang shouted loudly to the tall and thin monk, his expression extremely panicked.

Seeing Junior Brother Wang's anxious look, the tall and thin monk also felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart. When he carefully recalled the situation when he saw Junior Brother Zhu earlier, the unpleasant feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Hurry up, send the summons signal quickly, and chase Junior Brother Zhu back. Quickly, do as Junior Brother Wang said, don't delay. This matter can't be handled well, don't say that Senior Brother will not let us go, just Senior Brother Zhao.

We can’t even get through it!”

The tall and thin monk shouted and shouted orders to a group of people, his expression extremely panicked.

Everyone was a little confused after hearing this, but seeing the two of them panicking, they knew that something must be unusual. So they did not delay and followed their instructions.

Seeing that everyone was busy, the monk in the bamboo hat and the tall and thin monk did not have any relaxed expressions. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, as if they understood the truth from each other's bitter smile.

Someone pretended to arrive early and stole the blood crystal, and both of them were victims of this scam. What a stratagem, and what a daring person.
