Standing in front of the mine tunnels in the Lingshi Mine, Ye Changsheng stopped a Qi Refining disciple and asked, "I heard that people used to disappear here for no apparent reason?"
"Yes, Uncle Master, many Qi Refining disciples have mysteriously disappeared into the mine tunnels before. We have investigated several times, but we have not found the reason!"
"Maybe... there is some monster in the mine!" The Qi Refining disciple hesitated and said.
"Monster? Are you sure?"
"Uncle Qi, this is just a rumor circulated among low-level disciples like us. There is no definite evidence!" The Qi Refining disciple from Tianque Castle said with a wry smile.
Ye Changsheng had a thoughtful look on his face after hearing this.
Then he asked: "In which area did those people disappear?"
After hearing this, the person immediately took out an old map, pointed to an area above and said: "Probably in this area, the spiritual stones in this area have been nearly exhausted. Later, after the disappearance incident, we completely
Abandoned mining this area!”
Ye Changsheng took the map, read it carefully, and wrote down the location.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xuan Le was talking to Yu Xing, but the way he glanced sideways from time to time showed that he was also secretly paying attention to Ye Changsheng.
With a sneer in his heart, Ye Changsheng walked into the mine and deliberately said to the Qi Refining disciple of Tianque Castle: "I'll go over there to see if there are really any monsters causing trouble!"
Walking into the mine, Ye Changsheng's back soon disappeared.
After a while, Xuan Le and Yu Xing ended their conversation, walked over casually, and stood next to the Tianque Fort Qi Refining disciple.
He asked casually: "I saw Junior Brother Ye from Huang Maple Valley walking into the mine just now. Is there something wrong with him?"
Faced with the inquiry from a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk, this Qi Refining disciple naturally did not dare to hide anything.
He said respectfully: "Uncle Ye asked me about the inexplicable disappearance of people in the mine tunnels a few years ago, and then said that he wanted to investigate what happened!"
"Oh? Is that what he said?" Xuan Le's voice became a little strange.
"Disciple dare not hide anything!" the Qi Refining disciple said quickly.
"Go down!" Xuan Le said gently and with a smile on his face.
"yes."
With his hands behind his back, Xuan Le looked at the area where Ye Changsheng entered, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Investigating the disappearance case? What is this junior brother from Huang Maple Valley thinking about?"
"Is he really interested in these cases, or does he also know something?"
Xuan Le's face became extremely gloomy, and there was a faint murderous intent in his eyes.
"It will take some time to prepare, Junior Brother Ye. Before that, you must not force me to take action in advance!"
Turning around, Xuan Le's expression became gentle again, and he called over a disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect.
"Just wait here for Junior Brother Ye from Huang Maple Valley to come out, and then tell him that you have important things to discuss with him!"
"Yes, uncle!"
...
Ye Changsheng followed the map's guidance and came to the area where people had disappeared.
There are many mine tunnels here, and the dark and deep tunnels lead to nowhere.
Even people who work here all year round have a hard time figuring out how many tunnels have been dug underground in such a large-scale spiritual stone mine.
After Ye Changsheng walked through several mine tunnels, he didn't feel the aura related to the blood jade spider.
Shaking his head, he thought: "It's better to steal some spiritual stones first. The Blood Jade Spider matter is not urgent!"
Spirit stones dug out from spirit stone mines are usually placed in a centralized place.
There are certain restrictions set on these spiritual stones. If the restrictions are not unlocked, they cannot be put into the storage bag and taken away.
This is done to prevent someone from sneaking up on all these spiritual stones.
Usually only at the beginning of a month, when the spirit stone is handed over, would Yu Xing, the foundation-building monk, open the restriction.
Yu Xing had previously told Ye Changsheng and Xuan Le in detail about these matters.
However, Ye Changsheng had no intention of touching the spirit stones that had been dug out.
His target is the spirit stone vein hidden deep in the mine.
Find an area rich in spiritual stones, and then use the ability of your right hand to absorb all the spiritual stones here.
Ye Changsheng left the area where the blood jade spider was active and walked toward the areas where the mineral veins were concentrated.
After walking for a long distance, I finally saw a piece of sparkling spiritual stone.
There was joy on his face.
"Fortunately, I found all the auxiliary materials before I came here. I used fish and dragon materials to prepare the eye-cleansing elixir, which greatly enhanced my vision. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to quickly find the spiritual stones in this dark underground!"
He walked towards the exposed spiritual stone.
He made many copies of the ichthyosaur material obtained from the UFO swamp, and used them all to refine his eyes, which increased his vision several times its original value.
And seeing things in the dark is not much different from seeing in a bright place.
The range that his vision can now observe far exceeds his spiritual consciousness.
With his super eyesight, he is naturally at home in this dark mine.
Walking to the spiritual stone, Ye Changsheng put his right hand on it and silently said in his heart: "Copy!"
"brush!"
The next moment, all the spiritual stones in front of him disappeared, and a dark fruit appeared in Ye Changsheng's hand.
Xuanyin fruit!
Previously, a Xuanyin fruit with a medicinal age of three thousand years was analyzed in the Bloody Forbidden Land. Now Ye Changsheng copied it with the help of the spirit stone here.
Although this kind of fruit is of no use to him, if he keeps it in his hands, it might be useful in the future.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Xuanyin fruits appeared in Ye Changsheng's hand.
When he wanted to continue copying, suddenly, there was a loud noise in front of him.
"boom!"
The mine tunnel collapsed, and large pieces of stone fell down, making a violent noise.
After the spirit stone was sucked away, the place it originally occupied suddenly became empty, losing its supporting power.
Therefore, the mine tunnel collapsed directly.
Ye Changsheng quickly avoided the collapsed mine tunnel and ran outside quickly.
"what happened?"
"It seems like the mine tunnel collapsed somewhere!"
"Go and check the situation!"
"Wait, don't go in yet. The mine tunnel is the most dangerous at this time. Let's wait until it calms down completely!" said a steady voice.
When Ye Changsheng slipped to the exit of the mine tunnel, he heard someone communicating like this.
After calmly walking out, Ye Changsheng saw several Qi Refining disciples over there.
Seeing him, these people quickly and respectfully called him: "Uncle Ye!"
"Well, I was just investigating the disappearance inside when I heard a noise like this. What happened?"
"Uncle Qi, it seems that a mine tunnel collapsed somewhere!"
"Oh, that's how it is!"
At this time, a disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect stepped forward and said: "Master Uncle Ye, Master Xuanle invites Master Uncle Ye to come and have a gathering!"
