138 Dangerous Mission
Ye Qin left Beiying Mountain and flew straight back to Qingquan Peak, one of the seven main peaks of the Qingdan Mountains.
When he arrived at the Comprehensive Affairs Hall in Qingquan Peak, he handed over the bronze token of the errands mining in Beiying Mountain. The former senior brother Qian, who was responsible for arranging the errands, had already left and replaced him with a disciple named Li from the seventh floor of the Qi Refining Stage.
Although Junior Brother Li was a little surprised why high-level cultivators like Ye Qin went to mine to mine, he didn't dare to ask more about what the senior brother was going to do. A great sect like Qingdan Sect has a strict class, and low-level cultivators dare not ask about high-level cultivators.
Ye Qin handed over the mission and then left.
When he left the hall, he was suddenly surprised. Uncle Zhao, one of the managers of Qingquan Peak, entered the Comprehensive Affairs Hall with great worries and passed by him. He had no reaction at all, and didn't even take a look at him.
Although Ye Qin was shocked, he finally felt completely relieved. It seems that Uncle Zhao was busy with his affairs, so he probably forgot that he had existed. Even Uncle Zhao, who had been extremely suspicious of him three years ago, had forgotten him, and others would not be interested in him, a disciple who had no reputation at all.
This has something to do with his changes in appearance and breath.
In the past three years, he has grown taller, and has lost the childishness of a young monk. The mature and steady young monk has become whiter because he has been in the mine for a long time. The breath he emits becomes extremely weak, making it difficult to capture and sense. Uncle Zhao remembers that he was three years ago, but he doesn't recognize him, who appears. This is normal.
Ye Qin thought in his heart and walked out of the Comprehensive Affairs Hall.
It seems that it is not without benefits to mine in the Beiyingshan Mine Cave for three years.
The disciples of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage of Qingdan Sect are already rare. Among the eight thousand Qi Refining Disciples, there are only less than a thousand. The rest are the eighth and seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.
As a disciple of the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, unless he is a master in the foundation building stage, few low-level disciples dare to question him at will. Cultivators of the same level have similar status and are not qualified to ask about him.
I returned to this Qingdan Mountain with the purpose of obtaining the foundation pill from the master. It was just that the master's control over the foundation pill was extremely strict, and this matter would not be possible for a while.
Ye Qin thought for a while and walked towards a five-story pavilion "Zuiyue Tower" near the square in front of the Qingquan Peak. He was in seclusion in the mine for three years and had no idea about the current situation in Qingdan Gate. Let's learn about the situation first.
This Zuiyue Tower is a tower dedicated to the younger generation's disciples to eat, drink and have fun. Some young family monks like to call on a large group of fellow disciples when they have free time, and they are idle here, gathering together to talk about the world.
In addition, because there are many people here, many disciples in Qi Refining Stage exchange items here, conduct trading transactions, and a whole small market. Those monks who sell things find a table and chair in this pavilion to sit down, take out the things they want to sell, and make a sign and sell the price. If other disciples like it, they can go directly to negotiate and buy, which is very convenient.
At least half of the people here are business disciples who specialize in business. They purchase goods from other disciples and sell them here. Of course, if you don’t want to be charged intermediary fees by these merchant disciples, you can also buy them yourself.
Ye Qin had bought seeds and formulas of low-level spiritual pills here before, and was a little familiar with this place.
After entering the spacious first-floor hall, Ye Qin looked around and saw that there were at least two or three hundred Qi Refining disciples in this noisy hall.
He came to one side of the hall, picked an uninhabited table, ordered a few plates of side dishes and wine, drank the wine, and listened quietly to the conversations of other disciples in the hall. Although most of them were bragging and cheering, he could still hear a lot of useful things.
In that time, three years ago, more than 300 Qi Refining disciples obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill through "planting techniques, alchemy scholars, and fighting techniques". Although Xiao Bi has already ended, it is still the most talked about by his fellow disciples. Many disciples can't help but get excited as soon as they talk about this topic.
"Hey, do you know, my senior brother Yuan who has been worshipped...ah no, it's Uncle Yuan. He just successfully built the foundation last month. He is the seventh cultivator of this sect to successfully build the foundation this year. He is qualified to participate in the final foundation disciple competition at the end of the year."
On one side, a young monk from the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage proudly boasted to others.
Several other monks in the blue shirt at the same table were all amazed, "Senior Brother Wang, you are so lucky. There is such a master uncle who has worshipped me to protect you. Who dares to cause trouble in the door in the future? We brothers are the hardest backstage of yours!"
"Senior Brother Wang, we brothers will be completely up to you to take care of us in the future!"
"Haha, I dare not. It's hard to say big things, but I have to take care of small things."
The slightly fat young monk laughed proudly.
It attracted the attention of some fellow disciples on other tables nearby, and even secretly sneered: There are many monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage in Qingdan Sect, and what is a newly promoted monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage who worships a soldier?
Ye Qin glanced at them and drank wine silently.
Every year, about seven or eight fellow disciples successfully embark on foundation building and become the most promising foundation-building cultivators in the Qingdan Sect. This ratio is not high, but it is definitely not low.
He continued to listen.
During this period, some disciples from major families from various countries were the most eye-catching. They were supported by the strong financial resources of the big family and took various spiritual pills that increased their cultivation almost every day. Their cultivation level was a thousand miles a day. Once they successfully built the foundation, their strength would increase and bring huge benefits to their family. There are many such disciples in the Qingdan Sect, and almost every one of them was a sensational figure. They were highly valued by the masters and were accepted as disciples by the elders of each peak, which was the focus of envy and discussion among the disciples of the Qi Refining Stage.
After the group of people praised the lucky foundation-building "uncles" who came from a big family, they began to laugh at the cultivators who failed to build foundation-building.
Normally, if a monk at the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage takes the Foundation Establishment Pill and fails to hit the bottleneck, he will still maintain his level at the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage.
But there is another rare special situation, that is, the cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage broke through the ninth level and jumped into the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage. The breakthrough is a breakthrough. The problem is that he was unable to be promoted to foundation building, but he rose to a higher level in the Qi Refining Stage.
This is something that makes people vomit blood but is helpless.
In the Qingdan Sect, there was even a senior brother with great strength who participated in the "fighting" of the small competition for more than ten consecutive years, successfully won three foundation-building pills, and successively achieved "breakthroughs", reaching the legendary twelve-level realm of the Qi Refining Stage in one fell swoop. He became an almost invincible existence among the eight thousand Qi Refining Stage disciples.
However, the invincible existence in the Qi Refining Period is still a disciple of the Qi Refining Period, not a Foundation Establishment Disciple.
In the end, the legendary almost invincible senior brother was banned from participating in the competition after wasting three foundation-building pills. Under the sarcasm and rolling eyes of countless fellow disciples, he had no face to stay in the master's sect, took the initiative to leave the master's sect, and went to other countries to establish a family, and spread the branches and leaves.
This result is really sad.
This year, it coincides with the nine-year competition. Only monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage are eligible to participate in this competition. The rewards for the competition are even rarer than those in the Small Competition. The prize is the Life Pill, which is used to increase the Life Pill. One pill can increase the Life Pill for five years and ten years of life. It is one of the three great elixirs of Qingdan Gate. Only monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage are eligible to enjoy such a magical spiritual pill.
Ye Qin touched his nose helplessly.
He was not very good at joining the sect. Xiao Bi missed it three years ago. He couldn't meet the conditions for this competition and was not qualified to participate. It took three years before Xiao Bi to be the one, and Xiao Bi had the foundation-building pill.
Can you wait for three years?
Ye Qin was depressed for a moment.
If he cannot break through this bottleneck as soon as possible, then as long as he meditates, he may stop his mental activities at any time due to the restraint of the "Sitting and Forgetful Sutra" practice, and he may sleep until he dies. He has now stopped all meditation and practiced, and he will stop taking Qi Gathering Pills to prevent his cultivation from growing further.
Suddenly, Ye Qin's ears moved.
Near the window in the distance, away from the noisy crowd, at a relatively deserted table, there were four men and women in blue in the ninth floor of the Qi Refining Stage sitting together with a serious expression, whispering about a matter of a master. These blue in blue disciples were obviously core disciples, and the kind taught by formal masters in the sect.
A young disciple with beautiful eyebrows and tender eyes said frowningly: "The spirit stones of the master sect have been too nervous in the past two or three years. All the servants' rewards for spirit stones have dropped by about 30%. If this continues, it will greatly affect our magic cultivation. The news says that it seems that several spirit stone mines in our sect are about to run out. Is this true?"
An arrogant young monk next to him held a wine cup and said, "Hmph, who knows? Anyway, in the past two or three years, the master has stopped arranging new disciples to mine in various spirit stone caves. There is no slaughter token for mining, and no one has entered the mine cave. I can't do it if I want to investigate. I guess there shouldn't be many spirit stones in the mine cave, so I didn't arrange such slaughter. This little news shouldn't be wrong. Although the boss has been hiding it from everyone, he refused to explain clearly the investigation in the mine cave.
How many spirit stones are there? However, in the past three years, the Master Sect has sent dozens of Qi Refining disciples to search for spirit stone veins in dangerous places in the Lingwu Mountains. For this reason, nearly a hundred fellow disciples have even sacrificed their lives. However, only a small ore vein was discovered, and the spirit stones inside were only enough for the Master Sect to use for about decades. Do you think our Qingdan Sect is going to decline? Can our third largest immortal cultivation sect maintain its status?"
"There is a clear idea that the less spiritual stones in the Lingwu Mountains are digging. How can other sects be immune to their own detention? Some time ago, did the Daluomen suddenly hear the news of the exhaustion of the spirit stone mine? Although this news has not been confirmed, it is almost impossible to get along with it. I don't believe that those ancient artifact sects and Dique sects can be much better than us."
A middle-aged monk looked dull and disagreed.
A female monk snuggled next to the middle-aged monk, who seemed to be his dual-cultivation companion and said with a smile: "Senior brother, this is a good thing. Our Qingdan Sect is still a great sect for tens of thousands of years. I don't know how many monks with super wiseness have made. I must have had a plan for this, so how could it be so easy to decline."
The young disciple with beautiful eyes thought for a while and whispered: "By the way, my master, I heard from my master that the head and the deputy masters seem to be preparing to arrange a big action recently, and to dispatch a group of good players to perform a dangerous task. It is estimated that it will be within half a month, and will be carried out at the same time as the uncle and uncles. What is the specific thing is not clear, and the master refuses to say it, and I can't find out. But my master asked me to prepare in advance, saying yes...will you go? If you want to go, we can form a group."
When the young disciple spoke the last few words, he suddenly changed to a ventral language and sent a message to several other monks very carefully.
