Ximen Changqing has been unhurriedly conducting a symbolic search in the Baiyu Mountains, while Tuwa and the other three are holding maps and starting to collect various treasures marked by the immortal ginseng of time.
With Tuwa's magical ability to escape from the earth, he can easily travel deep underground and will not be easily discovered by the monks he is searching for.
And even if they are discovered by a high-level monk, it doesn't matter much. With the Void Doll and the Cave Ring, they can disappear at any time.
"What a big piece of warm jade! Take it!"
Arriving at the first location, the three Tuwa men easily pocketed a piece of warm jade.
This treasure is of great use to monks who practice fire-attribute skills and can increase the speed of these monks' practice.
"Fire Flame Thunder Iron Mine! This is a seventh-level high-grade spiritual mine. It seems to be a medium-sized spiritual mine. Unfortunately, it is too close to Baiyu Mountain.
If it is further away from Baiyu Mountain, the owner can deploy a large migration array to completely move this mineral vein into the kamikaze space."
Looking at the second mineral vein resources, Tuwa felt a little regretful.
"Since it can't be relocated, it can only be mined. Just leave this matter to me."
Xiao Jin released a hundred thousand petrified gold ants under his command and ordered them to mine the flame thunderite vein immediately.
It would take several days to mine such a large vein with one hundred thousand petrified gold ants.
In order to collect all the treasures as early as possible, Tuwa decided to set off alone to collect those treasures that were easy to collect.
Xiaojin and Vukong did not express any objection. Anyway, Tuwa's ability to escape from the earth is too strong, and he can complete the task smoothly. There are no monks who can catch Tuwa underground.
Three days later, a medium-sized flaming thunder iron ore vein was completely mined by the spirit ants under Xiao Jin's command, leaving not a single piece of ore left.
Afterwards, Xukong and Xiaojin continued to set off to the next mineral vein.
"Although the Taixuan fine iron ore vein is only a fifth-grade mid-grade ore vein, after being refined by the little ones, it can be upgraded to a fifth-grade high-grade grade.
With the master’s strength, using these refining mineral materials, it is completely possible to refine the Tongtian Lingbao, and they must all be mined!”
Xiao Jin did not hesitate and once again sent out 100,000 men to exploit the Taixuan fine iron veins with all his strength.
After that, Xiao Jin and his subordinates Spirit Ant mined the Seven Star Iron Ore Vein, Jiuxiao Tin Ore Vein, Fengxue Iron Ore Vein, Tianwai Chenyin Ore Vein and other mineral veins hidden deep underground.
Half a month later, Tuwa reunited with them. During the solo operation, Tuwa took away all the treasures he could get.
“There is only one last place left, I hope there will be bigger surprises!”
Tuwa took the lead and set off to the last treasure hiding place.
"This is! Lingyuan Strain? This white bead should be the Lingyuan Bead! The seventh-level low-grade Lingyuan Bead, an incredible treasure!"
Tuwa looked happy.
"I think this is probably a branch of Baiyu Mountain's spiritual vein. Once this spiritual source bead is taken away, this branch of the spiritual vein will be useless, and it will even affect the main spiritual vein of Baiyu Mountain.
Void frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Even if the spiritual veins of Baiyu Mountain are destroyed and they don't care about our affairs, such a good treasure must be taken away and given to the owner, hehehehe!"
Xiao Jin directly took down the seventh-level low-grade spiritual source bead and put it into the storage ring.
This spiritual source bead is very rare. It is at the core of the spiritual vein. It has a very low probability of being formed after countless years of evolution.
Generally, spiritual veins have spiritual sources, but they do not form spiritual source beads. This treasure can only be encountered but cannot be obtained.
After the spiritual source beads are placed in the earth vein, a new spiritual vein can be formed in a very short period of time, and the grade will not be reduced.
Although the Spirit Vein Bead also has the same function, its efficiency is much worse, at least hundreds of times slower.
Xiaojin and the others can obtain the Spiritual Origin Bead, or the seventh-level low-grade Spiritual Origin Bead, which is definitely a huge gain.
After obtaining the last treasure, the three spiritual pets no longer wasted time and immediately began to return.
When they met Ximen Changqing, it was almost a month later, and the tracking mark on Ximen Changqing's arm had become very dim, and would disappear in just three days.
"Master, Brother Suiyu has given us a big gift! It's all here!"
Xiao Jin gave all the harvest to Ximen Changqing.
"Oh! I actually have so many, I really made a fortune!"
Looking at the massive resources in the storage ring, Ximen Changqing was so happy.
This time, not only did they obtain the Immortal Ginseng of Time, but they also obtained a large amount of additional resources, especially a large number of mineral veins, which Ximen Changqing was in urgent need of.
At present, the battle between humans and monsters is fierce, and high-level puppet beasts are in great demand. The number of orders in Ximen's many stores has always been huge.
Although the family is constantly collecting materials, the more materials for refining the weapon, the better.
The spiritual materials obtained this time are enough to refine five hundred puppet beasts in the early stage of Void Refining, which are very important to the Ximen family.
"The seventh-level spiritual source bead, with this, you can create a new seventh-level low-grade spiritual vein at any time, hahaha!"
Ximen Changqing was even more overjoyed when he saw the seventh-level low-grade Spiritual Origin Bead.
At this time, there were only three days left before the one-month period. The monks who were searching everywhere were becoming more and more lazy. Even the fusion monks who forced them to work were gradually losing their patience.
At this moment, in the forbidden area behind Baiyu Mountain, Ancestor Baiyu looked confused.
Not only Ancestor Bai Yu, but all the monks in Bai Yu Mountain were confused.
"Senior brother, you have also come out of seclusion. Do you feel that the spiritual energy of the cave has suddenly become thinner?"
"Why, junior brother's cave is also experiencing a lack of spiritual energy?"
"No way! There is something wrong with my cave as well. The concentration of spiritual energy has dropped by at least 20%!"
"Although the spiritual energy concentration does not drop too much, if it drops once, it can drop a second time. If it keeps dropping, you will not be able to practice in the future."
"Come on, let's go find the leader and ask what happened?"
A group of monks from Baiyu Mountain all went to the top of the mountain with confused faces, trying to figure out what happened to the spiritual veins of Baiyu Mountain.
Of course, they were destined to not get the answer, because at the top of the mountain, the elders of Baiyu Mountain were also confused.
Several elders in retreat suffered serious injuries due to the sudden weakening of their aura, and it would take at least three months of breathing adjustment to recover.
"Can any of you tell me what happened?"
"Brother, how do we know?"
"Why don't you go to the forbidden area in the back mountain and ask the Supreme Elder!"
"The Supreme Elder is in retreat and cannot be disturbed casually. We should go find the reason ourselves!"
A group of strong men from Baiyu Mountain immediately went to the surrounding areas of Baiyu Mountain and began to search for clues.
In the forbidden area behind Baiyu Mountain, Zhuge Hongyu appeared in front of Zhuge Baiyu. He also felt that the spiritual energy of the cave had become thinner, so he wanted to come over and ask his ancestor.
"Ancestor, the spiritual energy in my cave has suddenly become thinner. Does Ancestor know the reason?"
Zhuge Hongyu asked with a puzzled look.
"I'm not sure either. You go ask the boss and let them investigate!"
Zhuge Baiyu nodded and asked Zhuge Hongyu to go immediately.
"Yes, ancestor!"
Zhuge Hongyu immediately went to the top of the mountain, only to find a group of disciples gathered on the top of the mountain.
"What are you all gathering at the top of the mountain for? Where are the master and the elders?"
Zhuge Hongyu looked at the disciples and asked with a serious face.
"Returning to the Forbidden Land Elder, all the disciples' caves have experienced a decrease in spiritual energy concentration. The same goes for the master and the elders.
Now, the headmaster and all the elders have gone out to investigate."
A Lianxu disciple answered respectfully.
There is only one Forbidden Area Elder in the Baiyu Sect, and that is Zhuge Hongyu. However, no one knows the true name of the Forbidden Area Elder.
"Okay, you all should disperse! If the leader and the others find out the reason, they will naturally inform you. All of you should disperse!"
Zhuge Hongyu dispersed the disciples and immediately returned to the forbidden area in the back mountain.
"Ancestor, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Baiyu Mountain has decreased. The leader and the elders have dispersed to find the reason for all this."
Zhuge Hongyu answered everything truthfully.
"No one knows what happened?"
Zhuge Baiyu frowned and couldn't sit still.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Baiyu Mountain has decreased. This is not a trivial matter and is very detrimental to the cultivation of the sect disciples.
You must know that Baiyu Mountain's spiritual veins are eighth-level low-grade spiritual veins. If the concentration of spiritual energy decreases, which is caused by the downgrade of the spiritual veins, then the situation will be serious.
After all, only the eighth-level spiritual veins can maintain the normal cultivation of Mahayana monks. If the spiritual veins are downgraded to the seventh-level, he and the three Mahayana elders will not be able to practice normally.
"No, the spiritual energy concentration is still slowly decreasing. I think the spiritual veins have suddenly declined!"
Ancestor Bai Yu suddenly shouted, with a nervous look on his face.
He was most afraid of this situation, because it would be catastrophic.
"Ancestor, how could the spiritual veins suddenly be degraded for no reason?"
Zhuge Hongyu also became nervous.
"I've asked you to keep an eye on the Baiyu Mountains recently, haven't you noticed anything unusual?"
Zhuge Baiyu stared at Zhuge Hongyu.
"Ancestor, I have been watching, and indeed nothing unusual happened. Those monks were searching in the Baiyu Mountains, but no monks found that thing!
Does the ancestor suspect that the descending of Baiyu Mountain’s spiritual veins is related to these monks? It’s unlikely!”
Zhuge Hongyu thought about it carefully and confirmed that there were no mistakes.
"Regardless of whether the reduction of spiritual veins is related to these monks, they must all be arrested, and no one must be let go."
Reducing the level of spiritual veins is a big deal, and Patriarch Bai Yu cannot remain calm at all. Even if he kills a thousand by mistake, he cannot let one go.
"Yes, Ancestor, I'm going to worry about the monks above the sect's transformation to gods, so that they can prepare to surround this group of monks!"
After Zhuge Hongyu finished speaking, he immediately contacted the head of Baiyu Mountain and a group of elders, and summoned the disciples above the level of Transformation God.
Soon, the elders returned one after another, and the disciples above the Transformation God level also began to gather.
The monks in the Baiyu Mountains were completely ignorant of the decision of the ancestor Baiyu. They were still searching patiently, unaware of the coming danger.
Ancestor Bai Yu is not a good person. He seems to be a good person on the surface, but in fact he is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
"Senior, there are only a few days left. I don't think I will find anything, so I'd better leave as soon as possible!"
At the temporary gathering place, a late-stage cultivator of Void Refining made suggestions with a tired look on his face.
Ximen Changqing and others also agreed and asked to leave immediately.
"There are only three days left. Can't you guys hold on a little longer?"
The monk in the middle stage of integration had a dangerous look on his face.
In fact, he himself wanted to leave, but he had agreed to leave within one month, and it would be very embarrassing if he left early.
"Senior, monks from Baiyu Mountain, why are they here and there are so many people?"
At this moment, a group of White Feather Sect monks suddenly escaped from a distance.
The leader was Elder Bai Yushan, who had a late-stage integration cultivation level. He was followed by six Xu Lian disciples and thirty God Transformation disciples.
"Ancestor Baiyu has an order that all monks are not allowed to leave the Baiyu Mountains, otherwise, they will die!"
The elder of Baiyu Mountain, who was in the late stage of refining the void, warned everyone with a majestic look, and then walked to the outside, ignoring the reactions of the monks.
"Ancestor Bai Yu, what's going on? Why do you want to keep us?"
"Did someone catch the running spirit plant?"
"Impossible! That thing is so clever, we have never seen it before!"
"I always have a very ominous feeling. There will definitely be no good things happening if Patriarch Bai Yu leaves us!"
"So what? How dare you leave!"
A group of monks started talking in confusion.
The monk in the middle stage of the integration also had an uncertain face. He controlled a group of god-transformation and virtual-refining monks to search for strange spiritual plants for himself.
Unexpectedly, Patriarch Bai Yu suddenly issued such an order, which made him feel slightly uneasy.
"Everyone, we can't just wait here. We must at least find out why Ancestor Bai Yu issued such an order. We might as well go to the vicinity of Bai Yu Mountain and do some research!"
Ximen Changqing suddenly suggested.
"Good idea, then I'll trouble you little friend."
The monk in the middle stage of integration suddenly asked Ximen Changqing to go to Baiyu Mountain to find out the news.
The tracking mark has not disappeared yet, so he can know exactly where Ximen Changqing has gone.
"Okay, I'm going to go investigate around Baiyu Mountain!"
Ximen Changqing set off without hesitation and headed straight for Baiyu Mountain.
At this time, the high-ranking monks of Baiyu Mountain are all approaching the edge to surround all the outside monks. Therefore, Ximen Changqing will not encounter any obstruction when he rushes to Baiyu Mountain.
"Xukong, speed up and rush to Baiyu Mountain to see what happened in Baiyu Mountain?"
Ximen Changqing did not dare to take too many risks and slowed down his speed. Instead, he released the void doll and made it rush to Baiyu Mountain to immediately find out what happened in Baiyu Mountain.
After the Void Doll turns into nothingness, its speed can be increased several times, and it can reach near the gate of Baiyu Mountain in the blink of an eye.
"Do you want to sneak in?"
Void Doll hesitated for a moment, and suddenly heard several disciples guarding the mountain gate chatting.
"Brother, do you know what happened to the sect? Why are so many elders going out?"
"Junior brother, haven't you noticed? The concentration of spiritual energy in the entire sect has decreased. This is not a trivial matter.
When the elders are furious, the monks who enter the Baiyu Mountains may be in bad luck."
"I feel it too. Could it be that the decrease in the concentration of the sect's spiritual energy is related to the group of monks in the Baiyu Mountains?"
"Maybe, maybe not, even if they didn't do it, as long as no other reason can be found, it can only be them. You know the methods of the elders!"
The conversation of the two Nascent Soul disciples was overheard by the Void Doll.
