"Cultivators from all over the place? Are there a lot of them?" Feng Yuexian was full of anticipation.
These Spirit Emperor-level cultivators usually carry out missions within the sect's influence and rarely leave the sphere of influence. They don't often see people from other forces, so they can't help but feel happy when they hear about people from other forces.
"Yes, quite a lot," the boy replied, "but most people left after staying for a few days without finding any results."
Feng Yuexian was full of anticipation, "Then I hope we can complete the task, that's a thousand spirit stones!"
One thousand spirit stones can replenish the liquid in the gourd and buy a bunch of self-defense items, and the remaining spirit stones can be used for cultivation.
Mu Lingjiu looked out the window the whole time. It was clearly the middle of the night, but there were still a lot of people coming and going.
She had been to the Black Water Pool before. It was full of spiritual energy and had countless practitioners.
Now it seems as if someone has sucked away his spiritual veins.
There is a small spiritual vein in the black water pool. Unlike the mineral spiritual vein, this is an aura spiritual vein that will continuously produce aura.
"Okay, we're here!" The boy stopped the car and lifted the curtain.
Feng Yuexian and Mu Lingjiu walked out of the carriage and found that this place was as lively as a market.
There were too many people! And most of them were Spirit Emperors with similar cultivation levels to theirs.
After all, strong people with strength above the level of Spiritual Sect will complete more difficult tasks with higher returns, so only their Spiritual Emperor values these thousand spirit stones so much.
Of course, there are also some brave ones who only have the strength of Spirit King.
They got off the carriage without attracting anyone's attention.
Because there were too many people, Feng Yuexian pulled Mu Lingjiu and finally squeezed into the black water pool.
Some monks threw talismans into the pool or used swords to explore the situation in the lake. It was very lively.
"Didn't they say there was a water monster?" Feng Yuexian went to ask the boy, but found that the boy had already left.
Feng Yuexian cursed inwardly and looked at the countless competitors, already beginning to doubt this trip.
"Junior Sister, our hope is slim."
Mu Lingjiu glanced around and saw that there was a spirit beast in the black water pool. It didn't come out despite the noise from these people, which meant that it had already left or couldn't come out for some reason.
"Fourth Senior Sister, let's meet up with the people from Xuanxian Sect first."
She wanted to hand Feng Yuexian over to her senior brothers and sisters in Xuanxian Sect, and then go to Tianya Lake to wait for Bazhua.
Feng Yuexian nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, there is strength in numbers."
They squeezed in the crowd for a long time and finally saw the disciples of Xuanxian Sect.
Li Chengfeng was somewhat displeased when he saw the two of them.
"You two left the team without permission, why are you back now?"
"I was busy..." Feng Yuexian said helplessly, "Isn't it back? Brother Chengfeng, please don't make a fuss about it."
Li Chengfeng snorted coldly, but didn't say much. He only warned: "Don't save people without permission next time. You might get into trouble if you save them."
"Okay, okay." Feng Yuexian immediately answered obediently.
Li Chengfeng didn't say anything more and his attitude towards them was not bad.
This was a little beyond Mu Lingjiu's expectations. Although the Fourth Elder's disciple was arrogant, she had no hostility towards them. Perhaps it was not the Fourth Elder who assassinated her by the sect's disciples.
"Senior Sister Feng, I have to go out for something. I'll come find you later."
Li Chengfeng frowned, "What are you going to do now?"
"My own business." Mu Lingjiu replied.
Li Chengfeng scolded coldly: "Then come back quickly, otherwise we won't give you any spirit stones after we complete the mission."
"good."
Mu Lingjiu said goodbye to them and left for the nearby Tianya Lake.
Tianya Lake is actually the same as the Black Water Pool. They are both springs from the same place, but because the spiritual energy vein is closer to the Black Water Pool, the spiritual energy in the Black Water Pool is richer. Naturally, more people know about the Black Water Pool than those who know about Tianya Lake.
In the past, Bazhua liked swimming in Tianya Lake because there were few people there, and she could also swim through the lake to the bottom of the black water pool opposite, close to the spiritual vein.
When Mu Lingjiu arrived at Tianya Lake, she found that Bazhua had not arrived yet, so she asked Xiaoxun Tianzhang to go to the bottom of the lake to check the situation.
Xiao Xun Tianzhang emerged from the bottom of the lake soon, looking a little unnatural.
"There's nothing at the bottom of this lake."
When Mu Lingjiu heard that there was nothing at the bottom of the lake, he couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the spiritual vein had really been drained away?
"Are there any signs that anyone has been there?" Mu Lingjiu asked.
Xiao Xun Tianzhang nodded obediently, "It looks like many people have been there. There are quite a few strange auras down there."
After listening to Xiao Xun Tianzhang's description, Mu Lingjiu was unable to know the specific situation inside, so she decided to go into the water and take a look herself.
"Lolo, wait for me here, I'll go take a look."
Mu Lingjiu jumped into Tianya Lake, submerged in the water, and swam to the bottom of the lake with ease.
The bottom of the lake was pitch black, and Mu Lingjiu took out a glowing stone to illuminate the surroundings.
There are a lot of water plants at the bottom of the lake, and some traces of people walking, so many people must have come here.
It's not surprising that someone has visited this kind of scenic spot. Even if someone discovered its spiritual vein, it's normal.
But the people in the city should have known about the extraction of the spiritual vein long ago. It's impossible to go to the trouble of inviting people to come and see...
Mu Lingjiu swam towards the direction of the spiritual vein and soon saw a black mound of earth.
The spiritual vein should be under the mound.
This black mound was obviously dug out by humans, indicating that someone had indeed touched the spiritual vein.
Mu Lingjiu stood beside the black mound and stabbed it with his sword.
There was nothing special under the black mound, without any fluctuation of spiritual energy.
Mu Lingjiu checked around and found that the small mound had been dug before, so she dug along the hole.
As the digging went deeper, Mu Lingjiu saw the roots of a plant. The roots were strong and hard, belonging to the powerful banyan tree.
The roots of the banyan tree are strong and can damage many hard objects, and can even break black iron. It is a nightmare for many cultivators.
When Mu Lingjiu saw the roots of the banyan tree, he felt that things were not simple.
They didn't see any banyan trees outside, so where did the roots come from?
Mu Lingjiu drew the sword from her waist and attacked the banyan tree, but unfortunately the sword only made a small scratch on the roots. With this level of damage, she would not be able to cut it down even if she chopped for a hundred years.
She stretched out her finger and injected poison, which would make the process of disintegration much faster.
After Mu Lingjiu injected poison into the banyan tree, he waited for the roots to wither and die.
About two hours later, the roots of the banyan tree began to melt, and Mu Lingjiu slowly saw the snow-white spiritual mineral veins hidden inside.
Spiritual energy gushed out of it crazily.
But soon that day the banyan tree's roots grew rapidly again and blocked the tree.
Mu Lingjiu attacked the roots of the banyan tree and said coldly, "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The Tianrong tree also has a tree spirit that can understand human language. It knows that the Mu Lingjiu has a very powerful poison, but it still chooses to quickly stand in front of the Mu Lingjiu.
Mu Lingjiu looked at the dense roots, which grew more and more, as if they were trying to guard against Mu Lingjiu.
This tree is protecting the spiritual vein.
