The depth of the crack in the ground was much deeper than Kong Ju had expected. He used his spiritual power to condense a short ice blade in each hand and inserted it into the cracked rock wall.

Using this as a leverage point, he descended nearly five hundred feet, but still hadn't reached the bottom.

The deeper you go, the more silent and still the surroundings become. There is nothing but pitch-black darkness, and your eyes are completely useless.

Even though Kong Ju had practiced the Eye-Cleansing Mantra, he would still be completely dark in an environment without any light source.

"This won't lead to the underworld." Kong Ju secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Even immortals may exist in this world, so the existence of the underworld is not completely impossible.

Of course, this is all Kong Jue's self-deprecating statement.

After saying that, he continued to concentrate his mind and slowly groped his way down.

Finally, after an incense stick of time, they descended nearly two hundred feet and finally saw the figure of Shangguan Yuzhou in the dark underground world below.

The reason why he could see it was because Shangguan Yuzhou was surrounded by sword light. The silver sword energy was the best guide in the darkness.

The place where he was seemed to have reached the bottom.

Even such a loud noise couldn't wake him up, he still lay there motionless.

Kong Ju thought that this height posed no threat at all, so he put down the ice blade in his hand that he was using for support and continued to fall.

Huh! His feet landed smoothly on the ground, and Kong Ju first came to Shangguan Yuzhou to check his injuries.

"Fortunately, the sword light protects his body, so he has no new injuries!" After estimating Shangguan Yuzhou's condition, Kong Ju breathed a sigh of relief.

After doing all this, he finally had the mind to observe the surrounding environment, looking around with his eyes.

There are faint metallic reflections in all directions in this space.

They seemed to be brought to an underground mineral space by a crack in the ground.

The surrounding area is filled with black minerals similar to black iron, attached to the rock.

Under the sword light of Shangguan Yuzhou, the iron ores reflected a metallic luster.

Such weak light was not enough for Kong Ju to determine what kind of minerals these were.

After a brief pause, Kong Ju immediately took out his storage bag and finally found some lighting equipment among the spoils of the dozens of Blood Robe League disciples he had killed during this period.

Kong Ju chose a magical instrument similar to an oil lamp and poured spiritual energy into it.

Infused with spiritual energy, an orange-yellow light instantly bloomed in the darkness, completely illuminating the area.

The main bodies of the iron ores were also clearly exposed in Kong Qi's field of vision.

He walked in slowly, broke off a piece of ore with force, placed it near the oil lamp, and observed it carefully with the help of the light.

It was an ore similar to black iron ore, and its whole body was like coal, but it was different from black iron ore because in the cracks of the black ore, there were dots of bright silver luster like scales.

As for other things, Kong Ju may not know.

But when it comes to spiritual mines and the like, he has knowledge about this. He has read a lot of books on this subject in the Miscellaneous Bookstore.

There is a miscellaneous book called "The Curiosities of Earth Veins", which contains detailed records of a large amount of knowledge about spiritual minerals.

And this kind of spiritual mineral is included in the wonders of the earth veins.

"Its color is like carbon, and its interior is like silver scales. When you knock it, there is silver gas coming out. This is the original silver-swallowing iron ore!"

Kong Ju tapped the raw ore lightly with his palm, and the ore in his palm really emitted a wisp of silver gas, which eventually drifted into the air.

Kong Ju stared blankly at the space where the silver energy disappeared, with a strange look on his face.

Silver-Swallowing Iron is one of the rarer spiritual ores in the Yanglun realm. This material is generally needed to refine mid-grade and high-grade magical instruments.

Although it is not extremely precious, it is not necessarily cheap either.

With the help of the light from the oil lamp, Kong Ju stared blankly at the space in front of him. His face was a little dazed at the densely packed silver-swallowing iron ore that covered the rock wall.

How much would it cost if all of this were refined into Silver-Swallowing Iron?

"This is what we see with our eyes. There may be more in the depths that we cannot see! This is a vein of silver-absorbing iron ore!" Kong Ju stuck out his tongue and licked his lips which were dry due to excitement.

"I'm rich!" Kong Ju's muttering voice echoed in the mineral vein space.

Because of a fight between two big guys, he fell into a crack in the ground and discovered a mineral vein.

This is an opportunity that no one would believe if you told them about it.

Kong Ju didn't know whether it was his own luck that influenced this opportunity or Shangguan Yuzhou's luck.

However, when he saw the pure white luck rolling above Shangguan Yuzhou's head, Kong Ju felt that the latter possibility was more likely.

"Brother Shangguan, I won't take advantage of you. Let's split the raw ore equally!" Kong Ju said to Shangguan Yuzhou who was still unconscious with a thick face: "If you don't answer, I will take it as your consent. We are brothers, and we are inseparable."

There is another benefit to falling into this mineral vein.

That is, the war on the ground seems to no longer affect here.

Being in this silence underground, Kong Jue couldn't even hear the sounds from the surface.

"Okay, let's hide for a few days and wait until they're done fighting before going out. Be careful not to get involved in the fish pond." Kong Ju finally felt relieved.

He calmly placed the oil lamp in front of him, staring quietly at the spiritual light blooming from the wick, and fell into silence.

This battle in the realm of life is of great significance and may even affect the overall situation of Wudong.

As a disciple of the Cangwu sect, Kong Ju certainly hopes that Dongxian will win this battle.

However, he was not even qualified to watch that war, and the development of the war was not something he could control.

"I hope that this change in the situation in Wudong will not disrupt my peaceful life in the outer sect." Kong Ju sighed. He has been in Cangwu Sect for more than three years and he has become accustomed to the life in this sect.

The sight returns to the surface.

The battlefield shrouded in rain.

During the time when Kong Ju went to the underground mineral vein.

The battle between Dong Xianna and Ge Lao has never stopped.

The sky changed color wherever it was hit.

Bang! A giant sword that spanned several miles suddenly pierced through the rain curtain.

The target of the giant sword was Ge Lao, who was wearing blood-stained clothes.

He was hit by the giant sword and flew out of the rain curtain, spitting blood and looking miserable. He did not look like a powerful person in the Palm of Life Realm at all.

Dongxian, who was at the peak of Shenglun, actually suppressed Ge Lao, the great master of life.

"Impossible! How is this possible! The gap between Shenglun and Zhangsheng realms is like a chasm. How can you hurt me!" Ge Lao's hair was disheveled, and his previous calmness had been replaced by a hoarse scream.

He looked up at Dong Xian, whose face was so pale due to injury that it could be seen on paper, and asked hopefully, "Are you also a palm-born master?"

Without waiting for Dongxian to respond, Ge Lao laughed madly and said, "Yes, only the Palm Life Realm can defeat the Palm Life Realm. You must be in the Palm Life Realm."

Looking at the obviously abnormal state of Ge Lao in front of him, Dong Xian simply replied: "Senior, you are praising me. I am still a step away from the realm of palm life."

"Impossible!" Ge Lao pretended to be crazy and shouted at Dong Xian: "Are you saying that you defeated me, the great master of life, with your Shenglun realm?"

Huangfu Ying's figure appeared there at some point.

As if feeling Dongxian's gaze, Huangfu Ying smiled slightly, then flew over and stood beside Dongxian.

Looking at the somewhat unconscious Ge Lao in front of him, Huangfu Ying said lightly: "Long time no see, Ge Lao. Twenty years ago, when you fled from Huode Sect to another domain, you were just a rising wheel. When you returned, you were already a master. Congratulations."

"Huangfu boy!" Old Ge looked at Huangfu Ying fiercely, his eyes revealing cruelty, wishing to eat him alive. He immediately cursed: "I only regret that I couldn't kill you back then."

Facing the curse, Huangfu Ying remained calm, gently shook the sleeves of his black robe, and said slowly: "Old Ge has returned from a foreign land, so I naturally have to prepare a generous gift. I think you have also received a gift from my Cangwu Sect."

Elder Ge thought he was talking about the blood food on the battlefield, and smiled sinisterly: "So you deliberately let me break through the palm of life with the blood of tens of thousands of cultivators on the battlefield."

"Yes, if we don't put down such a big bait, how can Senior Ge take the bait?" Huangfu Ying smiled and said, "But this is not the gift I'm talking about."

Huangfu Ying pointed at Dongxian beside him and continued, "Didn't you just ask Brother Dongxian why he could defeat you at the Shenglun realm?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ge gritted his teeth.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The gap between Zhang Sheng and Sheng Lun has always been so large that the current situation has almost never happened. He really wants to know why he lost.

Huangfu Ying saw the response from Ge Lao's eyes, and without waiting for him to speak, he said, "You are also proficient in alchemy, but you have heard of the Death God Powder!"

"You are talking about the legendary Shangshen Powder, which is colorless and odorless and is said to be able to poison even those at the level of Palm Life!" Old Ge smiled sarcastically. His alchemy skills were not bad. When Shangshen Powder was mentioned, all the information about that elixir came to his mind.

"Don't lie to me, Huangfu. The recipe for the Death God Powder has long been lost. Even if you find the recipe, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the poisons in it. Your lying skills are getting worse and worse."

"The poison in the Shangshen Powder has indeed disappeared, but that doesn't mean that the recipe is completely useless." Huangfu Ying raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled lightly.

"You know, the pharmacology of some elixirs is similar, and the same is true for poisons."

"After the efforts of several generations of Alchemy Pavilion Masters and many elders of my Cangwu Sect, we finally found a substitute for those poisons."

"It's a little less toxic, but it's easy to kill you."

As he spoke, Huangfu Ying pointed at Ge Lao and spoke in a tone that sounded like a judgement: "A powerful person at the realm of life can unite the three souls and seven spirits into one, and condense the vitality of the soul. Even if the physical body dies, it can still be reborn in another body."

"The greatest ability of this realm is also in the soul. Do you think your soul moved when you fought with Dongxian just now?"

When asked this question, Mr. Ge's face immediately became dull.

But he had experienced Huangfu Ying's cunning twenty years ago, so naturally he would not believe it completely.

He immediately activated his cultivation and was about to let his soul show through.

However, after a fluctuation of spiritual power, the soul remained motionless.

"You have really refined the Death God Powder!" Old Ge no longer doubted Huangfu Ying's words, and the fear on his face could no longer be concealed.

The legend of the Shangshen Powder is too terrifying. Even he cannot refine the antidote for the Shangshen Powder.

"Impossible! Even if you have the God-Slaying Powder, when did you poison me?"

But Mr. Ge still refused to admit it and tried to make excuses to dispel his fear.

"I know that Master Ge is very accomplished in the art of alchemy. How dare I show off my skills in front of you and directly poison you."

"Of course it was the poison given to the disciples of our sect. When my disciples stepped into the Giant Spirit Boat, they were already poisoned." Huangfu Ying smiled so brightly.

"Shangshen Powder only harms the soul. They are still far from the realm of Palm Life, so they will not be poisoned. However, the poison has already penetrated into their blood."

"You sucked their blood, didn't you absorb the poison of the God-Slaying Powder?"

Huangfu Ying's voice had just fallen.

Puff! Puff! Puff! A series of dull explosions sounded from within Ge Lao's old body.

The horrifying power of the medicine not only caused severe damage to his soul, but the spiritual power that leaked out exploded uncontrollably inside Ge Lao's body.

Blood flowers exploded continuously on Ge Lao's body.

In an instant, he was turned into a bloody man.

Huangfu Ying had already withdrawn quickly just before the effect of the Shangshen Powder took effect, leaving his light words in the sky.

"Your last chance to escape is gone. I've told you so much just to wait for the drug to take effect. Old man Ge, I haven't seen you for twenty years, how could you still be so stupid!"

"Roar, Huangfu Ying, I'm going to kill you!" Huangfu Ying's words revealed Ge Lao's painful memory from twenty years ago. Knowing that there was no way he could escape this time, he fell into complete madness.

Boom! With his last chance of survival, Ge Lao madly rushed towards the direction where Huangfu Ying left.

A surge of blood suddenly surged out of his body, shaking the heaven and earth like a sea of ​​blood.

Bang! Dongxian, who had been watching from the sidelines, was waiting for this moment.

The rain behind him condensed into a giant sword that pierced the sky and fell directly towards Ge Lao's back.

Sword energy overflowed, and several surrounding mountains were flattened to the ground by Dongxian's sword. Before the sword tip fell, the ground that the giant sword pointed to had been torn apart by the sword energy.

As for Mr. Ge, he was surrounded by sword energy from all directions and had no way to escape.

With his soul locked by the Death God Powder, he couldn't use the magical powers at that level and couldn't block the sword at all.

At this moment, Dongxian frowned slightly.

Because Ge Lao's figure suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he had no intention of chasing Huangfu Ying.

Instead, he watched the giant sword fall on him with a ferocious smile on his face.

Bang! The sword flashed.

Ge Lao's body was directly split into two.

A bloody little man covered in wounds and on the verge of collapse took this opportunity to separate from Ge Lao's body.

"Blood Escape Technique!" Along with the villain's roar, a flash of blood appeared, and Ge Lao's soul disappeared into the space.

There is no trace to be found.

This scene left Dongxian speechless.

The blood escape technique performed by his soul is such that no one can catch up with him unless a powerful person at the Palm of Life realm comes in person.

Huangfu Ying went and came back, looking at the fallen body of Ge Lao, he sighed and said: "This cunning guy, he took the initiative to give up his body and get rid of the restraint of his soul by the God of Death Powder."

"You did it on purpose!" Dong Xian looked at the direction where Ge Lao disappeared, and glanced at Huangfu Ying again, with some scrutiny in his eyes.

Mr. Ge is an expert in alchemy, so he naturally knows how to break free from the constraints of the Shangshen Powder.

Huangfu Ying said so much before, with the motive of giving Ge Lao a break.

Dongxian didn't believe it, and Huangfu Ying had never thought about this.

"Don't worry, the effect of the Death God Powder has already taken effect. He can escape for a while, but if he can't find the antidote, he will definitely die." Huangfu Ying did not deny it. Instead, he said to Dongxian earnestly, "This master is afraid that he will counterattack before his death and use Brother Dongxian as a scapegoat. Don't take this master's kindness for granted."

After all, Master Ge has already broken through to the Palm of Life. If he were to risk his life, Dong Xian would indeed have the possibility of falling.

Dong Xian understood this, and did not say anything. He just quietly watched Ge Lao's body falling in the void, and said softly: "It's a pity that I can't fight him fairly!"

Sorry for posting late. I thought it had been sent out, but it turned out to be in the draft box. 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
