Chapter 60 Thousands of clues
On the wall of the villa, the handyman disciple standing guard saw Huang Zunluo, and immediately waved his hand, and the defensive disciples below opened the door of the villa.
Huang Zunluo led Chen Ke in and said, "This is a place of mineral deposits. It is heavily guarded and equipped with defense formations. You can only enter through the main entrance."
"I've met my senior brother."
A middle-aged bearded man came over with a group of strong men. The middle-aged bearded man was almost fifty. He bowed respectfully to Huang Zunluo and called Huang Zunluo his senior brother.
Huang Zunluo pointed at Chen Ke and said: "This is Chen Ke, the master of the fifth hall. He is the fifth disciple newly accepted by the master. You will also call him senior brother from now on."
"yes!"
The middle-aged bearded man and everyone behind him bowed together, "I've met Senior Brother Chen Ke."
Chen Ke was already immune to this. He waved his hands slightly and said, "You're welcome, I'll just follow Third Senior Brother around."
In Lingkong Mountain, Chen Ke already knew the hierarchy here. No matter how old you are, you must be called senior brother and senior sister when facing the five disciples of Taoist Wufang.
At this moment, Chen Ke just wanted to see what the spiritual crystal looked like and how valuable it was.
"Let's go! Let me take you to see the land of spiritual mines." Huang Zunluo led Chen Ke towards the inside of the villa. The outside of the villa was really like a city wall and heavily guarded, but inside it was like a paradise, with beautiful mountains and rivers.
They were walking beside a stream, with a small hill in front of them.
There were some huge stone platforms arranged around the hill. Chen Ke couldn't understand what they were.
Walking onto the stone platform, in front of you is a stone pillar half a person's height. The top of the stone pillar is carved into a lotus tray. Three feet above the tray, there is a faint white mist swirling around.
Huang Zunluo pointed at the white mist and said: "This white mist is the spiritual mist formed by the strong spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, which affects the changes in wind and rain. If the spiritual mist is denser, it will form spiritual crystals."
Huang Zunluo took out an irregular crystal stone the size of a pigeon egg from the lotus tray. It was light cyan and slightly translucent. It looked really beautiful, like a cyan crystal.
Huang Zunluo placed the light cyan spiritual crystal in front of Chen Ke, and Chen Ke took it and looked at it carefully.
The spiritual crystal is so beautiful. Even if it is not a spiritual crystal, such a round crystal will be very valuable.
"This is a light cyan spirit crystal. Generally, there are three types of spirit crystals, one is cyan and the other is blue. Each type is divided into light color and dark color."
Huang Zunluo looked at Chen Ke's cherished look and said slowly: "According to the normal exchange, one dark cyan spiritual crystal can be exchanged for one hundred light cyan spiritual crystals."
"A piece of light blue spiritual crystal can be exchanged for a hundred dark cyan spiritual crystals. And a piece of light blue spiritual crystal is enough for a practitioner in the early stage of Qi refining to have the spiritual power needed to complete the Dantian!"
As a coin enthusiast, Chen Ke knew this very well. He asked: "Aren't there three types? Cyan spiritual crystal, blue spiritual crystal, what is the color of the third spiritual crystal?"
Huang Zunluo said: "The third type is purple, but it is only found in the spiritual mines of large sects. Mountain sects like ours will encounter it. Even if we encounter purple spiritual mines, it will become a place for various sects to fight for each other.
"
Chen Ke thought for a while, and according to Huang Zunluo, spiritual crystals are divided from low to high, light cyan, dark cyan, light blue, dark blue, lavender, and dark purple.
If there is a piece of deep purple, wouldn't it mean that the country is extremely wealthy?
Chen Ke felt as if he didn't know this world anymore. The monastic world was even crazier than the secular world.
Huang Zunluo took out a square bag from his waist and began to pack the light cyan spiritual crystals on the lotus tray.
Chen Ke asked the bearded man next to him, "How long does it take to produce a piece of spiritual crystal here?"
Big Beard said: "Reporting to Senior Brother, it will take more than ten days to condense a piece of spiritual crystal from the spiritual mine."
Chen Ke quietly approached the bearded man and asked, "Have you secretly hidden some?"
Upon hearing this, the big beard immediately knelt on the ground, and the strong men behind him also knelt down one after another. The big beard said in a trembling voice: "We don't dare to hide the spiritual crystal secretly. Please keep an eye on it, senior brother."
"What are you doing? I'm just joking." Chen Ke quickly helped his beard.
The bearded man said: "Senior brother, you don't dare to joke. If real people find out, all of us will be executed. Please look at me and do my best, don't scare me."
After hearing this, Chen Ke said: "I was negligent, I'm sorry."
The bearded man smiled and said, "Senior brother, there is no need to apologize. You have just come to the mountain gate and you may not know it yet. We don't dare to blame you. We just ask you not to say such things. We are already grateful."
If Chen Ke joins the Immortal Sect, just like the storyteller said, he can live a long and happy life and play anywhere. However, when he saw that the bearded people were so respectful to him as a mortal, they even wanted to kill him because of his casual joke.
Kneel down and beg for mercy.
Only at this moment did Chen Ke realize that the Immortal Sect was not as free as he thought.
Chen Ke asked Xiang Bearded: "What state are you in? How many years have you practiced?"
Big Beard said: "This disciple is in the Guanyuan realm in the middle stage of Qi refining and has been practicing for thirty years."
"Oh." After hearing this, Chen Ke felt that the world of monasticism was different. After thirty years of practice, he had reached the middle stage of Qi refining. Was he too stupid, or was it too difficult to practice?
"Junior brother, here it is."
Huang Zunluo threw a piece of light cyan spiritual crystal to Chen Ke, and stuffed two into his waist.
"Can we take it? Let's forget it." Chen Ke just heard Big Beard say that taking the spirit crystal privately would result in death.
He had just survived from the Taoist of the Five Directions. Before he could seek revenge against the Taoist of the Five Directions, he was about to steal something and throw away his life?
Seeing how down-to-earth Chen Ke was, Huang Zunluo smiled and came over to pat Chen Ke on the shoulder and said: "The number of spiritual crystals condensed here every month is different, two or three less. As long as we don't tell, no one will know."
Chen Ke looked at Big Beard and the others, but saw that Big Beard and the others had already turned their backs and did not dare to look here.
"Them?" Chen Ke hesitated.
Huang Zunluo chuckled: "What's wrong with them? Dare to expose us to the master? Take two spiritual crystals. Even if the master finds out, we will only be detained for two or three days. If they dare to report it, they really don't want to live.
Got it!"
Huang Zunluo's voice was gentle, but the meaning behind his words was as cold as the cold winter wind, bone-chilling.
"What did you see?" Huang Zunluo asked with a smile.
The bearded man turned his back to Chen Ke and the others, shook his head and said, "Brother, we didn't see anything."
"Look, it's that simple." Huang Zunluo smiled and put the light cyan spiritual crystal in Chen Ke's hand into Chen Ke's arms, and patted Chen Ke's clothes.
"If you don't take it, how can senior brother get it? If senior brother doesn't take it, how can we make progress?"
Huang Zunluo smiled, his face very relaxed and casual.
Chen Ke didn't refuse when he saw this. Anyway, it was Wufang Taoist's belongings. When he kills Wufang Lao Tao, these things will be confiscated by Wufang Taoist!
After filling a full cloth bag, Huang Zunluo took Chen Ke out of the villa and headed towards Lingkong Mountain.
On the way, Chen Ke asked: "Brother, what state are you in? How many years have you been practicing at Shanmen?"
Huang Zunluo held the cloth bag, thought for a while and said: "I have been here at Lingkong Mountain for a year and a half, and I am the disciple who has been sitting for the longest time. In terms of cultivation, I am now in the middle stage of Daoji."
"Where's the senior sister?" Chen Ke asked.
Huang Zunluo glanced at Chen Ke strangely and said, "Junior brother, you have fallen in love with the senior sister, right? That's right, the senior sister is so beautiful, has a high level of cultivation, and has a good temperament. Everyone likes her."
"No...I just..." Chen Ke wanted to explain.
Huang Zunluo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "They are all men, I understand. But let me remind you, there seems to be some unusual relationship between the senior sister and the person named Fang. Be careful of being retaliated by him."
"The surname is Fang." Chen Ke thought for a while, "Is he the second senior brother Fang Xuyuan?"
"That's him. He's only been here four months. He's just a little better than me. He stepped on my head and became the second senior brother. Originally, I was the second senior brother." Huang Zunluo was very dissatisfied with Xu Yuan.
Huang Zunluo approached Chen Ke and whispered: "Besides, I suspect that the person named Fang has ulterior motives. You should be careful about them."
"Them?" Chen Ke asked.
Huang Zunluo said: "Exactly, Ye Mingyue has a problem with Fang Xuyuan, just be careful. If you encounter any problems in the sect in the future, feel free to come to me, but don't go to Fang."
"Oh, okay." Chen Ke said.
Walking up Lingkong Mountain and reaching the hillside, Huang Zunluo covered his stomach and said, "Junior Brother, Senior Brother, I seem to have a bad stomach. You take the spirit crystal and go back to report to Senior Sister first. I'll find a place where it's more convenient."
Chen Ke took the bag and took it to see Ye Mingyue, while Huang Zunluo turned around and went to the side.
Chen Ke also wanted to see Ye Mingyue and ask her what was going on. As for Huang Zunluo's excuse, Chen Ke would not believe it at all. The immortal master also had diarrhea?
Huang Zunluo stood aside and waited for a long time. When he saw Chen Ke walking up the mountainside, he smiled and headed down the mountain: "Miss Du, I'm here to take care of your business."
Chen Ke took the spirit crystal and went to Ye Mingyue's main hall. When the guard disciple saw him, he slightly cupped his hands: "Senior brother."
"Senior sister is here?" Chen Ke asked.
"Here." The guard disciple said.
Chen Ke nodded: "I'll give you the spiritual crystal."
Chen Ke knocked on the door, and Ye Mingyue's cold voice came from the door: "Come in."
Chen Ke walked in and saw Fang Xuyuan inside. Fang Xuyuan saw Chen Ke and nodded to Ye Mingyue: "I'll leave first."
Fang Xuyuan glanced at Chen Ke, without saying hello, and left coldly.
Chen Ke thought to himself: "Could this person named Fang really have some problems as Senior Brother Huang said?"
"Junior brother, what are you doing here?"
When Ye Mingyue saw Chen Ke, a hint of surprise flashed in his cold eyes. Chen Ke turned back, closed the door, and walked towards Ye Mingyue.
"Senior sister, I'm here to ask, that night you..." Chen Ke hadn't finished speaking yet.
Ye Mingyue shook his head slightly, his cold eyes showing a hint of softness, signaling Chen Ke not to speak out.
Chen Ke didn't know why, but he guessed that Ye Mingyue seemed to have something hidden, so he said, "You took me to the fifth hall that night. I really want to thank you."
