Chapter 689 Mine Ghost
Jianyi Faction notifies the disciples in the mine to evacuate the mine, which will take some time.
Because the people who mine for Jianyi Faction are not only the disciples of Jianyi Faction, but also some people who were captured by Jianyi Faction for various reasons and used as mining slaves.
We wanted to call everyone out before Zhou Qing entered the magnetite veins because he was afraid that something bad would happen to Zhou Qing when he met these mine slaves, which would affect the Sword Sect.
"Senior Sister Yan, you stay here to rest later, I can enter the magnetite vein by myself."
"I will ask An Lang to stay at that time, so that we can contact him if anything happens."
Yan Kuangtu's stay outside is actually a kind of help to Zhou Qing. With her intimidation, at least Zhou Qing can When you are in the mine, you will not bear any risks from outside the mine.
"Junior brother, be careful."
Yan Kuangtu nodded, "These mineral veins that have power and can be used by practitioners will often breed some weird things."
< br>"I understand, I will pay attention."
There are many strange things going on in the mines. Even in a world like Zhou Qing's previous life, there are countless anecdotes about the mines.
Not to mention such a world with extraordinary power. Every piece of ore contains power. Then there is the power of mountains and rivers, the influence of heaven and earth qi, the growth and accumulation of evil spirits, and the path buried deep in the ground. There are so many sneaky things hidden in these veins.
Mining Mining is not a popular task among various forces. It is recognized as dirty, tiring and dangerous work.
However, few mortals have the ability to mine various high-grade mineral veins, so this matter will ultimately fall on the practitioners.
Like the border battle a few months ago, Xuanduguan also captured a group of barbarians on the battlefield.
Mine slaves are one of the destinations of those barbarians.
In addition, there are positions for testing medicine, refining puppets, etc., which also need to be filled by the captives.
After a brief chat, the courtyard became quiet, and the two of them were practicing at a shallow level.
Time passed, and the figure of Sect Master He finally walked into the courtyard.
“Two fellow Taoists, everything is ready. You can enter the magnetite vein at any time.”
"Then let's go now."
Zhou Qing stood up, "I am going down to the mine alone, please ask Sect Leader He to lead the way."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please follow me."
< br>The two walked out of the yard, then turned left and right in the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, He once again apologizes to you for my traitor, and I hope you will not blame him."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing shook his head.
"No need to say more, Sect Leader He, I don't take it to heart about these little things."
"I don't know, fellow Taoist Yan..."
"Don't bother me later. That’s fine, Senior Sister Yan.”
Zhou Qing also asked Kuangtu Yan how to handle this matter?
But Kuangtu Yan just said forget it and left after exploring the magnetite veins. He had no intention of getting angry because of this.
But if Kuangzu Yan is offended again later, it will not be something that can be easily changed.
Some things are indispensable.
Zongzhu He breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly:
“No one will ever bother Daoist Fellow Yan again.”
Then He Chong has been grounded by him.
Under the leadership of Sect Master He, they soon arrived in front of a short mountain. Cave entrances were randomly distributed at the bottom of the mountain. They were bottomless and there was no trace of anyone.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou, this is where the magnetite veins are located.”
“I’m sorry to trouble you, Sect Master He.”
Zhou Qing’s eyes swept over the mines one by one. , and then said:
"Then I will go in first. Sect Master He can rest assured that I will not damage the magnetite vein itself in there."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou is free to do it."
Zhou Qing strode forward, Choosing a mine with a strong golden evil spirit and entering, his figure was immediately swallowed up by darkness.
Looking at this scene, Sect Leader He sighed lightly.
This was originally a good opportunity to establish a relationship with these two Xuandu gatekeepers, how could it become like this...
This time Zhou Qing and the others took the initiative to come to ask for minerals. Even if they didn't get the Yuan Magnetic Essence Iron in the end, the two sides had a cause and effect and formed a good relationship, which they might be able to use in the future.
But Na He Chong's reckless offense made the Jian Yi faction become very passive.
The good karma has changed a bit now.
That’s why when he was in the sect leader’s hall, Zhou Qing felt that He Chong, the sect leader’s disciple, was not responsible for himself or the Jianyi sect at all.
In the magnetite vein, because of the unusually quiet environment here, the sound of Zhou Qing's footsteps was very obvious.
Zhou Qing walked in the mine tunnel, using both mental and physical strength to carefully perceive the surrounding situation, being extremely careful and meticulous, trying not to miss any place.
He sensed pieces of ordinary magnets, but they did not arouse Zhou Qing's interest at all.
No one from the Jianyi faction followed Zhou Qing into the mine, showing their generosity to the fullest.
And here in Zhou Qing, it is impossible for Yan to pluck the hair of a goose just because he is alone without supervision, and even take ordinary magnets away. It is too despicable to take advantage of such a small thing.
These ordinary magnets are of no use to him, and they still take up space if he digs them.
"Hoo!"
Zhou Qing slapped his hand and pressed it directly on the stone wall of the mine. Then he heard a wailing cry and saw a spirit body with a metallic luster being lifted from the stone wall by him. Pulled it out.
"What is this? Mining ghost? Mining demon?"
I looked at this spirit body. It is very weak. It is estimated that it is only as strong as the out-of-body realm, but it can survive in the mine. The ability to travel freely and ignore mountains, rocks and mineral veins is quite magical.
Then Zhou Qing directly crushed it to death, keeping only one of its fingers on his body.
This underground mine can be said to be connected in all directions, with passages crisscrossing each other. Zhou Qing spent some time visiting all the mines dug by the Jianyi Sect.
Unfortunately, there are still no traces of the Yuan magnet essence.
Zhou Qing killed a lot of those mining ghosts and other strange things, which was a small way to clean up the filth for the Jian Faction.
The snail sounded, and then An Lang's voice came out.
"Master, how are you doing?"
"There is nothing gained yet."
Zhou Qing replied casually. He was now in the deepest part of the mine. Further forward and down, there were areas that the Jian Sect had not mined and opened yet.
Mental and mental power can detect part of the situation ahead, but they cannot perceive the limit.
Unlike on the ground where there are no obstacles and the perception ability can spread freely and extend to the limit, in the mine, there are considerable restrictions on the practitioner's perception ability.
This piece of ore and the endless golden evil spirit can block many things and prevent people from peeking.
Zhou Qing's soul came out of his body and his body was stored in the spirit bag. Then, using the finger of the mining ghost as a medium, he also became a mining ghost and drilled directly into the unexcavated mine wall ahead.
The feeling of being at home like a fish in water appeared in Zhou Qing's heart.
Then Zhou Qing began to escape deeper, wanting to explore the deepest and core of this magnetite vein.
Going deeper, during the process Zhou Qing also discovered that there were things like him traveling in the mines. The strength of these mine ghosts had improved a lot compared to the one he first met. But it’s still not enough to watch here in Zhou Qing.
As long as they were sneaky in the mines he encountered, Zhou Qing would kill them all without saying a word, which was regarded as eliminating harm for the people. The more he went on, the higher the quality of these magnets became.
This made Zhou Qing feel a little excited.
I am afraid that at this point, the quality of the magnets still has not improved. If there is a change, that is a good thing.
At a certain moment, Zhou Qing paused and stared ahead, with a solemn expression.
At the edge of his mental power, he sensed a very powerful aura, which was roughly equivalent to a refining venerable.
This level of strength is almost the same. Zhou Qing would not be surprised if he met him outside.
But this is the mineral vein of Jianyi Sect, how come there is such an aura?
Zhou Qing covered himself, and then carefully walked in that direction. The closer he got there, the denser the magnets and iron essence were distributed, and the higher the quality.
Until Zhou Qing saw a ball of light about the size of half a person, like lightning sparks.
This place is obviously a tight underground, but the light group is empty around it. It floats in the air. Sometimes those electric sparks will explode violently and fall around, waiting for it to shrink back. At that moment, all the surrounding magnets were directly sucked into the light group.
With such a cycle, the emptiness around it becomes even larger.
It can be seen that in the past years, this light group has been devouring the power of magnets around it since the day it was born.
Zhou Qing stared at the light group, his eyes extremely bright.
This is the Yuan Magnetic Iron that he is looking for!
The magnetite veins contain biogenic magnetite iron, which must be achieved by taking away the essence of the magnetite, which is the same as the current situation.
This trip to Jianyi Sect was not in vain!
But Zhou Qing was not in a hurry to get the Yuan Magnetic Iron because there was a shadow behind the light group.
It was a crouched humanoid creature, similar to a miner ghost, but the metallic luster on its body was too strong, as if its whole body was really made of metal.
At the same time, its body surface also has electro-optical sparks similar to those of Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron, but they are much lighter than those of Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron.
A super miner bred along with the Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron?
The tyrannical aura that Zhou Qing felt far away before came from this mining ghost.
Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for a sneak of this level to be born in a medium-sized magnetite vein, but the emergence of Yuanmagnetic Fine Iron was an accident, and this accident also created another accident.
If Zhou Qing had not discovered this super mining ghost now, but had waited for the disciples of the Jianyi Sect to dig here...
Then waiting for the disciples of the Jianyi Sect would have been a disaster.
The Super Mine Ghost is connected to the Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron. It will grow as the Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron swallows up the power of the magnet. It will take a long time for the disciples of the Jianyi Sect to dig to the deepest point. When the time comes, the Mine Ghost It is possible to grow to the realm of three transformations.
That kind of strength is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the Jianyi faction. It can be solved, but the loss must not be small.
Now that this mining ghost has been discovered in advance, it is a good thing to some extent. Zhou Qing approached Yuan Magnetite, but the mining ghost had been sleeping peacefully and did not notice him.
Although this kind of mining ghost has a high level, its methods are actually very crude, with only a little talent and no magical powers at all.
Zhou Qing is also a mine ghost now, so it is too easy to quietly approach the Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron.
Close, close...
Looking at the Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron right in front of him, Zhou Qing stretched out his hands.
Bring it to you!
“Boom!”
The moment the Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron was taken away by Zhou Qing, the terrifying aura suddenly revived, and the super mining ghost connected to the fine iron opened up Eyes, blazing with rage.
The electric sparks on its surface were fierce and dazzling. It stared at Zhou Qing's back as he was quickly leaving, and roared.
"Death!"
A ghost at the level of a venerable is of course already intelligent.
But because they are born from evil spirits, golden spirits, evil forces, Yin forces and other forces, their hostility towards the living is rooted in their bones.
So even if you have spiritual intelligence, once you are born, you will definitely cause murder and attack the creatures you see until you are stopped by a stronger person.
The super miner's aura spread like a tide, causing the surrounding magnets fixed in the ground to explode.
It chased Zhou Qing, trying to kill this daring fellow of the same clan.
When this super mining ghost went out, the earth trembled, and the feedback was reflected outside the veins, that is, the entire mine was shaking, which instantly alarmed the masters of the sword sect.
A stream of light passed by, and I was horrified as I looked at the mine that was shaking more and more intensely.
“What happened?”
“Is there a venerable person fighting below?!”
"It's broken, Fellow Daoist Zhou is still down there!"
"Fellow Daoist Yan, do you have any contact with Fellow Daoist Zhou? Do you know what happened to him?"
"..."
< br>Yan Kuangtu and An Lang also arrived not far from the mine, but one of them looked cold and the other was very calm, neither of them panicked.
Underground, after returning to the mine, Zhou Qing immediately recovered his true form. Then he spread his Tianji Phoenix Wings and flew out of the mine without looking back. His speed was faster than when he was in the mine just now. Shuttle to the next level.
The super mining ghost could only see Zhou Qing's back, but it did not give up and still pursued him. It ran rampant and directly destroyed several mine tunnels.
Fortunately, the Jianyi faction had other means to support the mine tunnels when they were digging. The collapse of several mine tunnels did not have much impact on the overall magnetite vein. Cleaning up the gravel afterwards can restore the place to its original state.
After one breath, the phoenix ascended to the sky, and Zhou Qing returned to the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, what happened?"
Sect Leader He spoke loudly, but they soon knew the answer without Zhou Qing's reply.
The mining ghost with sparks and lightning all over his body also rushed out, but the next second, the sword energy flew across the sky, and Zhou Qing slashed down.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the mining ghost hit the ground directly. Zhou Qing took advantage of the situation and fell down, like a mountain falling and its peaks breaking. He trampled the mining ghost hard and made it howl. Shout out.
“How could a mining ghost of this level be born in a magnetite vein?!”
“We have never discovered it before!”
All the masters of the sword sect were shocked. They recognized the identity of the mine ghost, but it was precisely because they recognized him that they felt frightened.
Who would have thought that there is such a time bomb hidden under Jianyi Sect!
Zongzhu He shouted: "Hurry! Help fellow Taoist Zhou quickly!"
"No need to take action."
But at this time, Kuangtu Yan spoke softly, and his voice could be heard. It reached the ears of every sword sect master.
"Junior Brother Zhou has almost solved it."
Sect Master He and the others paused, and then they saw the black and red energy expanding, and the Immortal Killing Sword Domain enveloped the super mining ghost.
Then black sword qi was densely covered, arranged in combination like a formation.
“Chi!”
Countless sword energy stabbed at the same time, but only a whistling sound was made.
All the black sword energy rushed into the body of the super mining ghost. His body shook violently, stiffened suddenly, and then became completely silent.
The Killing Immortal Sword Domain dispersed, and Zhou Qing looked down at the dead super mining ghost.
The reason why I ran out of the mine was because I was afraid that a fight at the bottom of the mine would cause too much damage and cause the entire mine to collapse. After all, it was someone else's place. It really destroyed the mine. , which is quite embarrassing.
But why do you have to chase outside?
Looking for death, right?
The mine ghost who was transformed once was dead!
This battle ended too quickly. To be honest, no one from the Jianyi faction could react.
But Kuangtu Yan and An Lang were not surprised.
The body of the Super Miner Ghost slowly dissipated, leaving nothing behind.
Zhou Qing put away the Taibai Sword and flew towards the crowd.
As he advanced to the ultimate level of marrow cleansing and perfected the manifestation of the saint, a refining venerable such as the Super Miner Demon could not really cause any trouble to him.
This kind of mining ghost has never had any contact with the outside world since its birth. Apart from its own innate abilities, it has never learned any Taoist or magical powers.
And how can their innate abilities compare with Xuanduguan inheritance?
Here in Zhou Qing, this kind of mining ghost is similar to a whiteboard, and it is not difficult to kill.
Especially Zhou Qing is stronger than normal this month. He has an innate body this month. With the blessing of innate powers, his strength has reached a new level.
Complete innate supernatural powers, the bonus to strength is really impressive. Even though Zhou Qing's transformation seed has completed nine out of ten of its progress, the last line is the chasm.
Seeing Zhou Qing approaching, Sect Master He and the others were stunned and shocked by the scene just now.
They knew that Xuandu Zhenzhuan was very strong, but they didn’t know that it was so strong.
The mine ghost who was transformed once was actually solved so easily and neatly.
This is just a young man who is in the state of manifesting the Holy Spirit and Baptizing the Essence!
Not simple. This Xuandu True Successor named Zhou Qing must not be simple. He is probably ranked very high in Xuandu Temple.
“Sect Leader He, when I was exploring your sect’s magnetite veins, I discovered that a Yin Shen Mining Ghost was born in it. What happened next is as you can see.”
“ Thank you, thank you Daoyou Zhou for taking the initiative to eradicate Mining ghost."
Zongzhu He came back to his senses, with surprise and gratitude in his eyes, and said:
"Thanks to fellow Taoist Zhou for discovering the mining ghost in time, otherwise the Sword Sect would have suffered a disaster in the future. .”
"Everyone has the responsibility to kill demons. Sect Leader He doesn't need to say thank you."
Zhou Qing shook his head and said: "When the mining ghost chased me out of the mine, it will destroy several mine tunnels." It collapsed due to the earthquake, and I will have to worry about repairs later.”
“It’s a trivial matter.”
Sect Master He asked again: “I wonder if fellow Daoist Zhou can find Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron? If not, you can continue to search for it in the mine.”
Speaking of Zhou Qing smiled at this.
"The magnetite vein of your sect is uniquely endowed with a piece of Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron. I have got what I wanted."
"I have a treasure here that can be used in exchange for Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron."
< br>“How can this be so.”
He Zongzhu refused repeatedly Jue, "Fellow Daoist Zhou has eliminated a great harm to my Jian Yi Sect. This is a great favor to Jian Yi Faction. This piece of Yuan Magnetic Essence Iron must belong to Friend Dao Zhou. How can I be greedy?"
"Yes, it is absolutely true." Ji, I gave Yuan Magnetic Fine Iron as a thank you gift to fellow Taoist Zhou.”
"..."
The other elders were also very insistent.
While talking, everyone also left the magnetite vein. As for the problem of Yuanmagnetic Iron, it has been solved in a way acceptable to both parties.
"Zongzhu He, my goal has been achieved. Senior Sister Yan and I have other things to do later, so we will leave first."
He Zongren and others tried their best to persuade them to stay, but in the end they did not They could keep Zhou Qing and the others for a few days, and finally everyone sent Zhou Qing and the others out of the Jianyi faction and watched them leave.
"He is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men."
With a sigh, many masters of the Sword School nodded in acquiescence.
It would be great if such a disciple came from my sword sect.
Zongzhu He and several others turned around and joined the Sword Sect. On the main peak of Jinsha, He Chong appeared here. Seeing several senior officials coming back, he asked eagerly:
"Master, Senior Yan and the others have left. ”
"Already gone."
Sect Leader He glanced at his disciple and sighed.
"Chong'er, have you seen the battle between Daoist Zhou and the mining ghost?"
"Disciple met."
"Then what do you think?"
"...Incredibly strong."
Sect Master He asked: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is also the ultimate marrow purifier, and fellow Taoist Yan was once the second true disciple of Xuandu."
He Chongwen He couldn't help but become silent and then slumped.
