After the ghostly poison on the short blade absorbed Zhuo Han's blood essence, a pungent sour smell immediately wafted out.

At this time, small black worms squirmed and became active, like goosebumps, which made people feel nauseous.

He obtained this poison in an ancient cave. Its toxicity is weak and cannot cause death instantly.

But after the black bugs burrow into the scratched skin, they will quickly eat the blood and energy in the monk's body, which is a bit evil.

"Go to hell!"

Zhuo Han had previously slightly injured Chen Ping, and he immediately held a grudge against him. He did not care about the consumption of mana, and the sword flashed, and several phantoms were slashed at Chen Ping.

The two of them each used their magical powers and made a great noise, but Chen Ping remained unmoved.

It wasn't until he was less than half a foot away that Chen Ping stretched out two fingers, and in the horrified eyes of the two Zhuo brothers, a crimson fireball like the mouth of a bowl instantly condensed.

"呲"

The heat wave surged, and the fireball hit the large web of petals, burning it into nothingness in an instant.

"You...you can actually cast spells instantly!"

Zhuo Qi said in shock.

Like magic or magical powers, there are generally four stages: entry, small success, great success, and great perfection.

When casting a spell, you must first run the corresponding cycle, then recite the mantra silently, and only after the spiritual power is condensed and formed can it be considered a complete process.

Before a spell reaches the state of Dzogchen, it is absolutely impossible to compress this process to almost instantaneous casting.

Is it possible that this kid has mastered a Dzogchen fire spell?

But generally speaking, without decades of day and night practice, it is very difficult to reach Dzogchen.

Even the most basic five element spells.

Usually only some veteran Qi cultivators who know that there is no hope of building a foundation will spend a lot of time to create one or two Dzogchen realm spells.

But how old is the boy in front of me?

Judging from the appearance, he is never over thirty.

The two brothers looked at each other and swallowed hard.

"go!"

Chen Ping flicked them lightly, and two fire fingers transformed from the Nine Transformations Flame Spirit Art hit Zhuo Han and Zhuo Qi's hearts respectively.

The heart and mouth are one of the key points of the human race.

The two brothers who had just witnessed the power of this method no longer cared about besieging Chen Ping, and gathered their moves to defend with all their strength.

"boom!"

The Fire Finger generated based on the Nine Transformations Flame Spirit Technique is much stronger than the original version.

Along with two violent roars, every trace of firelight disappeared.

The magical pen magic weapon and the short knife hit the ground with a bang, their luster was greatly reduced, and they were obviously seriously injured.

The fire that followed burned upwards along the fingers of the two people, until the arms were burned black and exposed, and finally the spiritual power was exhausted and dissipated into spots of fire.

"Ah...it hurts"

Zhuo Qi and Zhuo Han grimaced in pain, each holding their arms and rolling over on their sides, crying and howling miserably.

This is the result of Chen Ping's persistence.

If he hadn't been concerned about Meng Lingqiu, who was guarding outside the cave, he would never have taken the so-called mine rules seriously.

"Do you two fellow Taoists still want to continue?"

As Chen Ping spoke, another ball of flame appeared in his hand.

He had practiced for hundreds of years in his previous life, and it was not difficult to cast some fire spells instantly.

"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Lu, we are convinced."

Zhuo Qi was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He hurriedly handed something over and said, "This is my storage bag. You can take it as you please, fellow Taoist."

"Brother, how can this be done?"

Zhuo Han glared and said harshly, unwillingly: "If you dare to rob us, Duan Kuangtou will not let you go!"

"Hiss!"

A green snake-like, winding green light passed by, Zhuo Han's right leg was removed from the knee, and blood splashed all over him.

"ah!"

Zhuo Han rolled around in pain while holding his wound, and roared loudly: "Good thief, just wait..."

"Shut up!"

Zhuo Qi shouted angrily at his younger brother.

At the same time, he felt a chill in his heart.

It was completely clear that the man in front of me was a ruthless master, and he might really kill his two brothers without any restraint.

In a panic, Zhuo Qi pulled off the storage bag from Zhuo Han's waist and handed it to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping opened it and saw, as expected, that the two storage bags were filled with copper crystals, which totaled about 1,800 kilograms.

In a small corner, there are several various low-grade magic weapons thrown in.

Presumably, these two people often engaged in robbery and plunder.

Unceremoniously sweeping the copper crystal away, Chen Ping said with a teasing smile: "Elder Zuo Long, right? Next, I will ask a question and you will answer. If there is any hesitation, it will be as simple as breaking the leg."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, feel free to ask, but I will definitely tell you the truth."

Zhuo Qi's heart trembled and he hurriedly promised.

His younger brother Zhuo Han fainted and died due to excessive blood loss.

However, practitioners have strong physiques, so even if their limbs are cut off, their lives are not in danger.

Half an hour later.

Zhuo Qi confirmed that the murderer had gone far before he dared to squat down, pick up the storage bag on the ground, and put the body of the demon spider inside.

This inexplicable encounter caused heavy losses to the two of them. Fortunately, the guy kept his word and took nothing except the copper crystal.

Looking at his unconscious brother, Zhuo Qi hesitated for a moment, with a look of pain on his face.

But then it was replaced by resentment and ferocity.

"Second brother, I will avenge you, and my future brother will also walk the path of immortality for you."

After a while, Zhuo Qi carried his brother's mutilated body, which was getting colder, and tears rolled down his eyes.

…

Here, after Chen Ping got enough copper crystals, he returned to the cave where he had previously retreated.

Just now he learned a lot of information about the mineral veins from Zhuo Qi.

Zhuo Qi can be considered an old miner and has been employed by the Meng family for nearly four years.

The mining leader he followed, Duan Gaojing, was nicknamed "Duan Laoyin" and had more than thirty miners under his command.

And Xing Linnian, who came at the same time as him and had invited him, actually became one of the three major mining heads.

Of course, Chen Ping automatically ignored these trivial messages.

He was more interested in another strange thing Zhuo Qi said.

A long time ago, in addition to dozens of hired monks, there were also about a dozen collateral clan members from the Meng Yu family who were engaged in mining in Taizhu Mountain.

The management at that time was relatively loose, and we could take a few days off from the mine every two months.

The incident happened about a year and a half ago.

Overnight, all the dozen or so members of the Meng family and the Yu family disappeared.

A few days later, the supervisor issued a new map to everyone. Compared with the original version, there was an extra black restricted area.

What was distributed to Chen Ping was the so-called new map.

Not long after, four ninth-level qi-training masters who were in charge of the formation outside came together and informed everyone that they would not be allowed to leave the mine for the next few years.

At that time, some old miners firmly opposed it, but they were severely punished by Meng Ping and others, and it took them a long time to recover from their injuries.

A few months later, Meng Lingqiu, the foundation-building elder of the Meng family, came to Tengshan Island and had been guarding the mine outside, almost never leaving.

From then on, everyone became completely honest and did not dare to say anything.

"I see, the Meng family has good luck."

Chen Ping felt enlightened and probably guessed the reason for the series of abnormal behaviors of the Meng family in recent years.

Natural minerals are formed by terrestrial veins that have taken thousands of years to develop.

The power of rules is unpredictable. During the formation of copper crystal ore, there is a slim chance that another associated ore may be derived.

The second level spiritual object, Divine Wind Sand.

This sand is widely used in the smelting process of wind-attributed spiritual weapons, and its value is much higher than that of copper essence.

Based on the scale of the copper concentrate, this associated kamikaze sand mine must be a micro-vene.

But even so, the value will not be less than 150,000 spiritual stones.

No wonder all members of the Meng Yu family disappeared overnight.

It seems that they were secretly moved to a restricted area to mine Kamifeng sand.

Chen Ping thought about it and sneered again and again.

The Meng family wanted to make a fortune quietly, but of course he would not get what they wanted.

However, now that we are trapped on Fujiyama Island, how to release the news about the kamikaze mine to the outside world needs to be discussed in the long run.

After coming back to his senses, Chen Ping casually took out a hidden pill and put it in his mouth.

The majestic power of the medicine flowed down the throat and into the veins, churning violently in the body.

A trace of spiritual power emerged from the spiritual acupoint, and Chen Ping had an idea and began to refine it.

One of the two-marked elixirs can last for ten days of hard training. Taking into account the time it takes to remove the erysipelas, Chen Ping estimates that he will be able to advance to the seventh level of Qi training in another year.

The reason why he was able to make another breakthrough in such a short period of time is entirely due to the magic of the Nine Transformations Flame Spirit Art.

With the help of spiritual bath water, this process can be shortened by another two months.

…

"Duan Kuantou, you have to make the decision for my brother!"

In a bright underground hall, Zhuo Qi knelt on the ground.

His eyes were red and his body was covered in injuries. Next to him lay a cold corpse, which was his second brother Zhuo Han.

Sitting on the central throne, a man with an unattractive appearance and a Chinese robe wearing a dragon crown stared at the corpse for a long time with squinted eyes, and said majestically: "Dragon Protector Youlong, are you sure that man only has the sixth level of Qi training?"

"It can't be wrong."

Zhuo Qi nodded firmly and said: "That monk named Lu has mastered a Dzogchen fire spell and also possesses a high-grade magic weapon. My second brother and I were no match for him, so we had to admit defeat and hand over the copper crystal."

.”

"The second brother was young and energetic. He said he wanted to take revenge on him, but he was beheaded by the man surnamed Lu."

"If the footsteps of several miners hadn't happened to be heard, and those people fled in a hurry, my subordinates... I don't know if I would have seen you alive, the mine leader..."

Zhuo Qi burst into tears and cried.

Duan Gaojing frowned and said to himself: "Is it a quick spell? There is such a person among the new miners."

As for Zhuo Han's death, he didn't care too much.

Although the Meng and Yu tribes strictly prohibit harming human lives, miners have occasionally disappeared inexplicably in the mines in recent years.

He, Duan Gaojing, could safely sit in the position of leader for several years, and he was responsible for more than a few lives.

It's just that he had a close relationship with supervisor Yu Meichang and escaped accountability several times.

"Please Duan Kuantou to avenge the villain's brother!"

Zhuo Han whimpered with his head pounding.

"Great Elder!"

Duan Gaojing looked at the pock-marked monk sitting on the seat to his left who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and said: "You and Zhuo Qi go and block the passage. This man is a new miner who came last month. He will definitely come to the platform in the next few days."

Pay the copper crystal share."

"I obey my orders."

Brother Mazi stiffened his face and said gloomily: "Right Protector, let's go!"

Zhuo Qi stood up and dusted off his knees, and said hesitantly: "Miner, that man is very powerful, I'm afraid of the Great Elder..."

"It's only the sixth level of Qi training. Do you doubt that I can't deal with him?"

The great elder's face darkened and he stared angrily at Zhuo Qi.

"The monk surnamed Lu is cruel in his methods, and Zhuo is not willing to die just like that."

Zhuo Qi said with lingering fear.

"I think you were scared out of your wits by that guy!"

The great elder spit out thick phlegm and said dismissively.

"enough!"

Duan Gaojing suddenly stood up and patted his chair, saying in an unquestionable tone: "The Great Elder will stay at the No. 1 Mining Area. I will go with you myself!"

"Excuse me, Duan Mintou."
