Lingshi Mine, forty feet underground, in a secret room.
In the silent and dark secret room, a figure sat cross-legged in the center of the secret room, with a thin layer of aura gathering around the figure.
Not long after.
Cheng Buzheng slowly stopped his power, and the spiritual energy around him quickly dissipated.
He suddenly opened his black and white eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he glanced around the secret room subconsciously.
Cheng Buzheng stood up, patted his robe, came to the corner, put the basket full of raw spirit stones on his back, and held the mining pick in his right hand.
He took a deep look at this secret room. He knew that this secret room might not appear in the future.
This is the place where he first developed.
As soon as I thought, a yellow light flashed.
in a blink.
He disappeared into the secret room, and a yellow light quickly escaped underground.
A quarter of an hour later.
Cheng Buzheng came to the main mine tunnel, and after sensing that there were no monks nearby, he used his spiritual sense to conduct a careful inspection and confirmed that there were no monks around.
Thirty feet underground, a ray of yellow light quickly shot upwards.
After a while, a yellow light appeared on the main mine tunnel. The yellow light dissipated, and Cheng Buzheng appeared on the spot, looking around.
A thought moved my mind.
The spiritual pressure that was originally at the peak of the third level of Qi training suddenly dropped to the initial level of the third level of Qi training. After checking that there was nothing wrong, he followed a familiar set of actions, lowering his head and bending over, with a numb face, and walked towards the mine tunnel.
Go to the entrance and exit.
After walking for a long time, he saw a flash of white light in the distance and knew he was about to reach the entrance to the mine.
Although his face was numb, his steps couldn't help but become a little faster.
Not long after.
He came to the entrance of the mine, squinted his eyes, and looked at the rising sun. Although there was no greenery nearby, he still felt a touch of vitality.
The old rules are to weigh the raw spiritual stone ore, collect two spiritual stones, and then conduct three strict inspections.
After a while, Cheng Buzheng left the mine entrance without any surprise.
He did not hesitate and walked directly to the custody pavilion. After a while, he came to the gate of the custody pavilion.
Cheng Buzheng strode into the hall and came to the small grid of '1520'.
Then, he injected a trace of spiritual power into his left wrist, and the largest piece of spiritual jade in the center of the dense ring shot out a white light, wrapping around a layer of spiritual power film in front of the small grid of '1520'.
moment.
The spiritual film in front of the '1520' small grid disappeared, revealing a gray storage bag placed inside.
Cheng Buzheng waved his hand and held it in his hand. With his right hand, he took out two spiritual stones and a long-necked porcelain bottle.
A thought moved my mind.
The long-necked porcelain bottle and two spiritual stones were put into the storage bag, and then he hung the storage bag around his waist and walked towards the counter of the storage cabinet.
Lean less.
Cheng Buzheng saw that inside the counter, the round-faced senior brother was still half-lying on the rocking chair, rocking back and forth, quite leisurely.
"Senior brother..." Cheng Buzheng shouted softly.
He didn't want to yell, nor did he want to make himself uncomfortable and make his round-faced senior brother unhappy.
This senior brother is at the pinnacle of the ninth level of qi training, and is only one step away from the position of senior uncle in the foundation building stage. However, this step is a huge difference.
The round-faced senior brother opened his eyes, looked at the fellow disciple in front of him, and smiled.
"Junior brother! What's the matter?"
Cheng Buzheng clasped his fists and said, "Senior brother, my mission has ended and I came here to return the secret ring!"
He said as he took off the tight ring from his left wrist and placed it on the counter.
"Two years already?"
"Yes... Senior brother, it's been two years. When I first came here, you still gave me the secret ring!"
Hear the words.
The round-faced senior brother glanced at Cheng Buzheng and sighed quietly.
"It's been two years... It's been two years since you came to Lingshi Mine, and I've been here for almost five years, and it's time to return to the sect..."
······It's time to prepare...
If you don’t fight hard, you won’t have a chance... If you succeed, you will get further, if you fail, you will die!"
After saying this, the round-faced senior brother's face flashed with a look of determination.
Cheng Buzheng said with deep doubts, "Senior brother...?"
The round-faced senior brother grasped the chair handle tightly with both hands and spoke slowly.
"Seed Trial!"
At this time, he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, but his characteristic of calm expression had been integrated into his bones after years of practice.
Hear the words.
Cheng Buzheng was slightly startled. Although he didn't know what the scene was like inside, he had read the first floor of the Sutra Pagoda carefully and recorded a large number of travel notes about real cases of entering the Seed Trial.
Every trial is almost 3 out of 10, or even lower. Such a low chance of survival is enough to show how dangerous it is.
If the risk is high enough, the profit will be high enough.
He knew that no one could change his senior brother's decision unless he obtained a Foundation Building Pill.
But the Foundation Establishment Pill is so precious, worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones, and it has a price but no market.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng did not try to persuade him. He knew it was useless. Ordinary monks who wanted to take a further step on the path to immortality would never give up. This was the only chance to obtain the Foundation Building Pill.
On the contrary, those monks who have no hope of immortality are even more afraid of this.
He glanced at the round-faced senior brother and said with a smile, "Senior brother, I wish you a safe return and further progress in your cultivation!
······When the time comes, I will change my name to Uncle Master!"
After hearing this, the round-faced senior brother smiled.
"Then let me borrow my junior brother's good advice!
Okay... After the secret ring is returned, you can go to the 'Materials Pavilion' to hand over the tools and mission certificates, and you can leave at any time!
In a month, it’s time for me to learn martial arts!”
"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother... Senior brother, our sect is gathering, I will take my leave first... I will hand over the follow-up!"
"Yeah!" The round-faced senior brother nodded and said.
Not long after, Cheng Buzheng arrived at the center of the wooden house, handed over the mining picks and baskets, and then received the mission certificate.
Cheng Buzheng held the mission talisman in his hand and rubbed the back of the talisman with his fingertips.
The front is engraved with complex patterns, with the three characters "Baiyunmen" engraved in the center and "Lingshi Mine" engraved in the center of the reverse, and "Outer Sect Disciple, Cheng Bu strives to take over" is engraved below.
And at the bottom of the reverse side, there is another small word "Excellent" under the words "Outer disciple, Cheng Bu strives to take over".
It means that he has completed the task well and can receive forty spiritual stones from Fenglu Pavilion. In addition to the forty-eight spiritual stones he received from the spiritual stone veins within two years, this mission has a total of eighty-eight spiritual stones.
Although twenty-four spiritual stones have been spent, the remaining spiritual stones are still a huge wealth for a monk in the early stages of Qi training, enough for the next plan.
Seeing that everything was done and he could leave the spirit stone vein at any time, Cheng Buzheng started wandering in the canyon.
If nothing else, he will never come to the Lingshi mine to perform tasks in the future. This is just the place where he first developed.
