The crisis in the Qingyun Sect, I don’t know why it started, and I don’t know how it ended.
No sound.
Originally, when something like this happened to the Shitang Dynasty, other top sects were gloating over the misfortune and watching with eager eyes, preparing to swallow up the Shitang Dynasty while the Qingyun Sect's vitality was greatly weakened.
Such a powerful and vast secular dynasty.
Even if you only swallow a small part, you can get enough benefits.
Not to mention some of the top sects that have no dealings with the Qingyun Sect, they are even preparing to attack the Qingyun Sect together.
Adding insult to injury is something many people are happy to do.
Not to mention that it is beneficial to oneself.
But the crisis ended suddenly.
All chambers of commerce reopened at the same time, without any delay, and had obviously been waiting for the master's order. The major inns and contact points were restored, and the excavation of the spiritual mine returned to normal in a very short period of time.
Many people "fleeed" and left.
Most of the remaining people are also thinking about where to take refuge.
But suddenly the entire Shitang Dynasty recovered, and everything was as usual, just like the panic of the previous month, and the desolation was all a dream, which made some people feel confused.
Even the royal family was confused as to what had happened.
Originally, many people were pessimistic and believed that the dynasty would collapse.
But who would have thought that the crisis would be resolved suddenly.
No one really knows what happened.
But this was a huge good thing after all, and the entire Shitang Dynasty fell into a carnival.
Qingyun Sect also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they didn't find anything in their investigation, now that this matter is over, everyone is happy. Although there are still some things that need to be dealt with, at least it is much simpler.
When the Shitang Dynasty returned to prosperity, Lin Xi had quietly arrived at the border between Linfeng Valley and the human kingdom.
Linfeng Valley is actually just one of the demon clan's territories.
The mountains are high and dangerous, often blown by strong winds, so even if the environment is good, many monsters may not be able to adapt to such a place.
Except for a few kinds of monsters, Linfeng Valley is basically a mixture of dozens of birds and monsters. Among them, the Peng tribe is the most powerful. Linfeng Valley naturally became the territory of the Peng tribe.
The Peng people live in the most dangerous Dayu Mountain in Linfeng Valley, which is shrouded in Gangfeng all year round.
This kind of environment can sharpen the Peng clan to a great extent and stimulate the blood vessels in the body to revive.
However, Lin Xi did not intend to provoke the Peng clan during this trip. He just came to see Shi Zhong.
Linfeng Valley is still frequently visited by human monks. After all, hunting monsters can yield good rewards.
"That dynasty is a foundation-building monk, and they recruit all Qi-refining monks." Lin Xi thought thoughtfully: "They should not go to the center of Linfeng Valley."
Lin Xi opened the map brought from the Tianxiang Tower.
The topography of Linfeng Valley is recorded in detail on the map.
This map is worth thousands of spiritual stones. It was specially made by asking powerful monks to explore Linfeng Valley and based on the landmarks.
"There are seventeen places suitable for foundation-building monks to go, but there are only five places relatively close to Shitang Dynasty. It shouldn't be too dangerous for those Qi-refining monks who dare to go with them."
If you are seeking money and killing someone, you will go farther, but not too far, lest you really run into trouble.
Lin Xi looked at the map carefully and roughly confirmed three places.
Hope it's okay.
Lin Xi muttered a few words silently in her mind, and then quickly flew out.
...
...
This is a dark cave.
It's dark, humid, and makes people feel uncomfortable all over.
The clear and audible sound of water dripping resounded in Shi Zhong's ears, like countless small insects burrowing in his ears. It was very uncomfortable.
Shi Zhong lay on a stone bed, tossing and turning, and managed to fall asleep.
Shi Zhong, who has always had excellent sleep quality, has been suffering from insomnia for two months.
His spirits are not very good.
But there is good news.
He has broken through to the realm of foundation building, his aura is very thick and steady, like the flat earth, and his tall and burly body is more like a mountain that will not collapse.
"Shi...Brother Shi, it's time to wake up." A woman called in a low voice, timidly.
Yu Xinxue seemed a little cautious, for fear of irritating the other party.
Although Shi Zhong has been very gentle in the past two months, the other party is a foundation-building monk after all, and he is just a Qi-refining monk, so there is a big gap in status.
In addition, now that everyone was in danger and could only rely on Shi Zhong, she did not dare to be disrespectful to him at all.
Shi Zhong struggled to open his eyes: "How long have I been asleep?"
"It's been an hour and a half." Yu Xinxue said carefully.
"It's not bad." Shi Zhong breathed a long sigh of relief, took out the elixir to restore his true energy and drank it: "At least I slept for a while, I feel more comfortable. You guys can rest first, I'll do it."
After saying that, Shi Zhong jumped off the stone bed and cheered up.
He strode towards the entrance of the cave.
The entrance to the cave was blocked by a huge rock, and there was no light at all. However, there were very strange formations floating on the rock, as if some formation had been arranged.
There are seven or eight Qi Refining monks working hard to instill spiritual power into the formation to ensure its normal operation.
From time to time, violent vibrations can be heard from the outside of this huge rock.
These Qi Refining monks also looked quite tired, and their heads were covered in sweat.
"Okay, let me do it next, you guys take a rest." Shi Zhong said in a deep voice.
Seeing Shi Zhong's return, everyone felt relieved.
"Brother Shi, thank you for your hard work."
"Thankfully, we have you, otherwise we would really be doomed."
"I still have a few pills here to restore spiritual power. Brother Shi, I'll give them to you first."
These Qi Refining monks said one after another.
Shi Zhong nodded, took the elixir from these people's hands unceremoniously, then swallowed it all, stimulating the spiritual power in his body, and then poured it into the formation.
Swallowing pills like this will have serious side effects.
But now I don't care about that at all.
The normal operation of the formation must be maintained, otherwise it will be over.
Shi Zhong got on top in time, and the others could rest for a while.
When everyone saw the back of Shi Zhong standing alone in front of him, maintaining the operation of the formation, they felt a little ashamed, but also a little amazed.
Shi Zhong has not had a good rest in the past two months, but he can support the entire formation by himself. On the contrary, they need seven or eight people to work together to do it.
Even building a foundation is difficult to do.
This only shows that Shi Zhong possesses a very terrifying willpower.
"It's so reliable." Someone whispered.
Yu Xinxue whispered: "Fortunately, Brother Shi broke through to the foundation-building realm and successfully activated the remaining formations in this cave, otherwise we would really be doomed."
Everyone nodded.
They were very grateful to Shi Zhong.
Especially since the other party takes a short break every day and spends most of their time maintaining the operation of the formation, making them exhausted and haggard. On the contrary, the help they can provide is really limited.
If other people encountered this situation, they might feel resentful and enslave others to maintain the formation for themselves.
But Shi Zhong did not do this.
"boom!"
There was a dull roar outside the cave.
Everyone's expressions changed.
The formation on the huge rock was shaking violently and was about to collapse.
"Get out of here quickly, or I will kill you without a burial place!" Several roars came from outside the cave.
Shi Zhong's expression was solemn, but he remained as stable as before.
