A few hours later, Xu Yinglian regretted it instantly.
Where do all these bootlickers come from?
The training mission that Qiu Changtian accepted this time was that an outer disciple of Kunlun accidentally discovered a suspected entrance to an earth vein on the west side of Longshan Mountain.
The so-called earth veins are branches of the dragon veins of the Kyushu Continent. They are usually places with powerful spiritual energy and suitable for cultivation.
There are also many small houses built by ancient monks. The benefits of the relics are self-evident, but they may also be filled with traps and occupied by monsters and beasts, so there are equal risks and benefits.
The spiritual energy of the land here is not very strong. Even if there are ancient relics, they are mostly only beneficial to disciples at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even Golden Core True Immortals are unwilling to come.
The Kunlun disciple who had invited Qiu Changtian was a little apprehensive, fearing that the chief would worry about the high risks and low benefits and would put on airs and refuse to come.
When he received the reply to the summons, his eyes immediately filled with tears and he kept praising the Chief for his righteousness.
When Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian arrived on their swords, more than a dozen Kunlun disciples came up to surround them, respectfully calling them "senior brother" and "second senior sister" in an effort to get to know them.
Xu Yinglian was impatient to deal with these bootlickers and just nodded coldly.
Qiu Changtian was not arrogant at all. He nodded and greeted everyone one by one. His expression and tone were as warm as a spring breeze, making everyone feel close to him and not left out. Immediately, everyone's good impression of him increased.
[Invincible character, synchronization value +1. ]
Kunlun Mirror said indifferently.
As the synchronization value increases, the talent of Dao Xin Tong Ming can be stably exerted at 100%. During this period of time, the practice is ridiculously strong and can be called an upgrade accelerator.
"Please look, senior brother, this is the entrance to the earth vein." The disciple who took on the task this time was called Duan Tianbao, and he took the responsibility of leading the way without hesitation.
Qiu Changtian looked carefully and found that in the depression in the rock, behind the vines, there was a small opening leading to the inside.
"The spiritual energy here is very weak, and it is rare to be able to explore it." Qiu Changtian smiled gently, "It's just that it is so hidden, there may not be any remains of cultivators inside, maybe it's just an empty natural vein. Everyone should be mentally prepared for this trip."
"Of course. If there really are no ancient ruins, we will report to the sect and exchange the location of this place for spirit stones. In any case, Senior Brother's share will definitely be included." Everyone spoke at once.
"That's not necessary. I came here to ensure your safety."
"If it's really an empty land vein and I can't contribute, I won't take the spirit stones."
Qiu Changtian laughed loudly, raised his hand and cast a "Universal Clear Sound Small Light Spell" to dispel the darkness in front of him, then he walked in first.
Xu Yinglian followed behind silently, thinking that his senior brother was a really interesting person. He always pretended to be a gentleman who made people feel warm and elegant. Who could have known that his true nature was not like that at all?
I really should use the photo stone to record the words he said that made me angry, so that these bootlickers can listen to them carefully.
Everyone followed closely behind him. The cave path was winding and rugged, and it was difficult to walk on it. There was also moss covered on it, making it slippery and unstable to walk on.
After going down more than 200 meters, it was still pitch dark ahead. The disciples who had not yet undergone marrow cleansing kept climbing down. They were already exhausted and out of breath, and they hurriedly cast their eyes towards the tall and majestic figure of the eldest senior brother in front of them.
With so many people begging silently, Qiu Changtian had no choice but to hold Xu Yinglian, who wanted to continue moving forward, and signaled them to stop so that everyone could rest.
The air in the cave was humid, it was dark, and there were echoes. The longer you stayed there, the more eerie and terrifying it seemed. Many disciples began to retreat and did not dare to go deeper, so they asked Duan Tianbao to come and plead for them.
However, facing Qiu Changtian's warm smile, Duan Tianbao couldn't say anything, and went back in a bad tone:
"If you want to leave, leave the team first. Don't drag the chief brother on a wasted trip!"
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
After a short rest, we continued on our way.
After walking down for hundreds of meters, we finally saw light, which turned out to be a night-shining pearl inlaid on the wall.
The road ahead had unknowingly transformed from a natural cave into a square underground palace corridor.
Seeing the blue brick and gray wall, everyone felt half excited and half scared.
What excited me was that this place was indeed not an empty land, but was occupied by cultivators.
What I am afraid of is this blue brick and gray wall. Why does it look so evil and spooky, and somewhat cold and weird?
Qiu Changtian looked at it coldly and pinched it through the crack in the wall.
Well, there are indeed ashes mixed in it. Others can’t tell. Luo Yan has been studying in Yuqing Temple for so long, how could he not recognize this kind of evil cult refining technique?
Judging from the style, it seems to be the weapon refining style of the early Yin Gui Dao shortly after the ancient Jiejiao split.
It seems that this underground palace must be related to the ancient Yin and Yang ghost path.
But the same thing applies. Considering the spiritual energy of the land veins, the ancient cultivators occupying this place would not be that powerful.
Qiu Changtian silently counted his own spells and found that both the Jade Smoke Sword and the Jade Pivot Thunder could restrain ghosts, so he told everyone to move on.
The deeper we went, the colder the temperature became, and from time to time we could hear strange rustling noises.
After a while, a shadow suddenly rushed out of the darkness, and its momentum was so fast that the Kunlun disciples had not yet reacted. Qiu Changtian quickly raised his hand, emitting a stream of jade-colored light, nailing the shadow to the wall, and calmly reminded:
"This is a low-level corpse spider, everyone be careful."
Hearing the warning from the eldest brother, everyone took out their flying swords and became alert.
Qiu Changtian raised his hand again, and the Yuyan Sword was pulled out of the corpse and flew back.
Everyone was very excited when they saw the corpse of the spider. They thought that the eldest brother was indeed worthy of being the eldest brother. Even his swordsmanship was much more proficient than the rest of us. They admired and respected him even more.
[Invincible character, synchronization value +1. ]
Only Xu Yinglian felt somewhat unwilling.
The speed of her Yujia sword was even faster than that of the Yuyan sword, but just now her reaction speed and attack speed were slower than her senior brother's, so she was completely defeated.
The team continued to move forward, clearing out any corpse spiders they encountered along the way.
This seemed to be their nest. We killed more than seventy of them, but it seemed we could not kill them all.
Not long after, there were strange noises coming from both the front and the back, and it turned out to be a large number of corpse spiders rushing from both ends towards the Kunlun disciples in the center!
Qiu Changtian was not afraid of danger. He shouted loudly to wake up the frightened crowd and ordered them to form a battle formation to meet the enemy.
Over there, a dozen disciples were either squatting or standing, divided into three rows and piloting their flying swords one by one, trying to repel the attacking corpse spiders.
This corpse spider is also covered with hard hairs and has strong defense. An ordinary flying sword cannot penetrate it with one strike. It takes three or four strikes to kill one.
After a few breaths of fighting, the disciples' defense line became shaky and was nearly broken through several times.
On the other side, Qiu Changtian controlled the Yuyan Sword alone and killed the corpse spiders that were rushing over.
The Yuyan Sword is a seventh-rank gold-type flying sword, and he has also mastered the essence of the Shushan Sword Controlling Technique, so this flying sword can move freely and no spider can stop it. Basically, the first encounter will be penetrated by the golden light and killed instantly.
He was fighting with ease here, and seeing that the disciples in the back were having trouble forming a formation, he quickly asked Xu Yinglian to go over for support.
Xu Yinglian was ordered around by him, and immediately wanted to compete with him. The Yu Jia sword flew faster and faster, shuttling back and forth among the group of corpse spiders.
At that moment, the two of them used exquisite sword skills at the same time, blocking all the corpse spiders several meters away.
[Invincible character, synchronization value +1. ]
Everyone was stunned. The spider swarm on one side alone was enough to make it impossible for everyone to deal with it together. However, Senior Brother Qiu and Senior Sister Xu were able to defend themselves with ease. Their strength was truly unmatched.
Looking at Qiu Changtian riding his sword calmly and gracefully, and Xu Yinglian taking a deep breath calmly, with fluttering sleeves, it makes the people around him feel ashamed.
What a perfect couple of immortal heroes!
Please become a couple soon, please!
