Chapter 197 Mingxin
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The Tianhe Sect’s spirit stone veins were attacked by unknown monks!
This news was like having wings, unable to be concealed at all, and spread quickly throughout the entire world of immortality.
Whether it was a casual cultivator or someone from other major cultivating clans, their jaws almost dropped to the ground after hearing the news.
"It's unbelievable. Who dared to do such a thing after eating fairy gall?"
"It's so boring to be so troubled by Tai Sui!"
"This hasn't happened in many years. Such a thing, is this going to start a new war in the world of immortality?”
“I heard that this attack used several extremely precious second-level forbidden talismans and formations from the Lingshi Mine. It didn't even have time to start, and half of it was destroyed directly."
"The losses were not small. It is said that not only the disciples of the He Sect stationed that day, but also the disciples of the Shi family suffered heavy casualties."
< br>
"Do you know who made the move?"
"It's not clear yet, but the Tianhe Sect has sent several elders from the Foundation Establishment stage to investigate, and it is expected that the truth will be revealed soon!"
"."
In just an instant, the entire world of immortality has focused its attention on the recent major event in the Lingshi Mine.
Soon, some more news came out.
All the spiritual stones accumulated in the entire mine for half a year were plundered!
It turns out that the Tianhe Sect’s Lingshi Mine changes a group of disciples every six months, and these disciples will bring all the Lingshi that they have accumulated for half a year back to the sect to complete their tasks.
After so many years, there has never been a mistake.
No one would have thought that someone would be so bold as to directly target the Tianhe Sect’s spirit stone veins.
This can no longer be described as plucking a tiger’s beard, it’s simply like plucking a dragon’s beard!
As one of the leaders of the Immortal Dao in the Qingling Domain, how could the Tianhe Sect tolerate such behavior.
At this time, the Liu family.
As someone who left the family power on the back foot, he naturally became one of the targets of the investigation.
All the spirit miners who left the spirit stone mine that day were all summoned, and the Tianhe Sect wanted to conduct routine questioning of these people one by one.
Even Liu Haitian is among them. The matter is so important that no one can be let go.
Li Qing stood in the crowd and looked at the extremely serious Tianhe Sect disciples in front of him.
This group of Tianhe Sect disciples surrounded a gentle and beautiful woman with a gauze on her face like stars. Her actions were graceful and her temperament was as gentle as water.
Although you can't see her face clearly, you can tell from her plump figure and temperament that she is definitely a beautiful woman with full charm.
However, few spiritual miners dared to take a second look at her, just because the aura revealed by her body was a bit heart-stopping.
Foundation building period!
There is no doubt that the person who can make these young disciples of Tianhe Sect show such respect can only be the foundation-building elders of Tianhe Sect.
“You, come here!”
One of the male disciples nodded arrogantly at a spiritual miner and motioned for the other person to walk out of the crowd.
This spirit miner looks to be about the same age as Li Qing. He is also a quite young monk, but his temperament and demeanor are slightly wretched. This is caused by mining in dark mines for many years.
"My lord, I don't know"
"Stop talking nonsense, take this jade plate and let me ask you questions and answer them!" The Tianhe Sect disciple's attitude was very stiff and he handed a sapphire disc into his hand in a cold voice.
There were some mysterious Dao patterns looming on it. After taking the jade plate, this wretched spirit miner was a little at a loss.
"Sir, if you want to ask anything, just ask, I will definitely answer you!" The spirit miner looked slightly nervous.
The young Tianhe Sect disciple asked with cold eyes:
“Have you ever tampered with the protective formation of the Lingshi Mine?!”
The spirit miner with a wretched temperament shook his head repeatedly and said in panic: "No, absolutely nothing!"
"Have you ever had contact with the people who attacked the Lingshi Mine?!"
"No, how could I have the courage!"
The next few questions were very sharp, seemingly asking from all angles whether this person was related to the person who was attacked in the Lingshi Mine. There is a connection.
During the interrogation, there was a faint light flowing through the spiritual patterns on the cyan jade plate.
Finally, the disciple of Tianhe Sect changed the subject and asked a question that no one expected: "What is your name?"
The spirit miner with a wretched temperament was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: " My name is Huang Kang!"
After saying this, the male disciple of the Tianhe Sect turned around, and his arrogant attitude suddenly changed to a respectful one:
"Elder Su Xin?"
The mature and beautiful woman with a gentle temperament just shook her head gently, and then did not say anything.
Next, everyone was interrogated in detail like this, with different questions asked.
When asked about the name of the thirteenth spirit miner, the beautiful woman named Su Xin slightly raised her eyebrows and finally said:
"No, you don't Called Tang Heng! "
Her voice is very pleasant, as sweet as the clear spring flowing in the pine forest, with a gentle meaning.
However, when the other Tianhe Sect disciples heard this, they immediately became vigilant and asked sternly: "Tell me, what is your name?!"
The casual cultivator who had just given a pseudonym was immediately embarrassed. He said uneasily:
"My parents named me Tang Xiandi. Later, I felt that this name was not suitable for me. Over the years, I changed my name to Tang Heng.”
As soon as these words came out, the originally serious atmosphere suddenly turned funny. Many workers present could not hold back, and some even laughed out loud.
Even the corners of Li Qing’s mouth couldn’t help but turn up. It’s such an impressive name!
Soon, after confirming that the Tang Immortal Emperor was not lying, the disciples of the Tianhe Sect also chuckled. It was obvious that they had not received professional training.
"Ahem, you go back."
Just like that, as the young Qi Refining Stage monk named Tang Xiandi returned to the queue, Li Qing could tell.
This cyan jade plate should be a magical instrument similar to a lie detector, and the Tianhe Sect elder in the foundation-building period should be able to sense whether the person is lying through the jade plate.
As for how it was achieved, Li Qing didn't know.
The world of cultivating immortals is so vast. If he doesn’t know, there is still a lot he doesn’t know. Maybe he has practiced some kind of magical technique and combined with this special magic weapon can do it. Soon, after questioning several spiritual miners one after another, it was finally Li Qing's turn.
Li Qing stepped forward. He took the jade plate, suppressed the urge to study this magical weapon, and stood there honestly.
During this period, he glanced at the mature and beautiful woman inadvertently, and couldn't help but feel secretly smacking his lips at her gentle, water-like temperament.
The questions were exactly the same. When Li Qing answered, he felt as if he was being spied on by some unknown entity.
Finally, after answering his name, Li Qing turned around and returned to the crowd without any problems.
After a long time, the interrogation finally came to an end. Nothing substantial was found. It could only be confirmed that these spiritual miners attached to the Liu family were just ordinary casual cultivators.
After doing all this, even the beautiful woman in the foundation-building stage showed a hint of exhaustion in her eyebrows. Obviously sensing other people's moods like this is also a burden for her. .
Just when the people from the Tianhe Sect were about to leave, a cold voice sounded:
"Elder Su Xin, brothers from the Law Enforcement Hall, you have worked hard on this trip, you might as well come to me How about taking a rest on the Liu Family’s Lake Island?”
A slender woman wearing a white dress flew from the air with a sword.
This person is none other than Liu Hanyue, who has returned to the Liu family for many days but has never shown up! At this juncture, she finally showed up.
"Senior Sister Hanyue!"
"Junior Sister Hanyue!"
Elder Su Xin looked at Liu Hanyue, nodded lightly, and then declined softly: " No need Hanyue, there are others waiting for us to investigate, so we shouldn’t wait too long.”
“Besides, you must not be able to get away recently, so you don’t need to worry about me waiting.”
In this way, after some communication, the group of people from the Tianhe Sect who came to investigate finally left.
The other spirit miners who were called out for questioning also returned to their respective residences.
Returning to his yard, Li Qing immediately thought about his current situation.
“Looking at the current situation, it seems that not much can be investigated in the short term. So wouldn’t it be impossible to mine during this period?”
At this moment, Li Qing suddenly reacted. , judging from this posture, he seems to be unemployed!
The source of income from spiritual stones was suddenly gone, so he was not too anxious. The number of spiritual stones on his body was not small now. If he used them sparingly, he could still last for a long time.
It just so happened that he also planned to use the suddenly free time to study and study his weapon refining skills.
But all the spiritual miners who have temporarily lost their jobs have to face a problem, that is, how will the Liu family arrange for them during the period when they cannot go to the mines in a short period of time?
The formation damage to the current spirit stone mine is very serious, and it will definitely take a certain amount of time to rearrange it.
In addition, it is estimated that the Tianhe Sect plans to investigate the culprit of the attack on the mine before continuing to resume the operation of the mine.
Therefore, during this period, these spiritual miners were just idle.
But idleness means prostitution of the Liu family’s spiritual land.
However, would the Liu family be happy to see so many spiritual miners idle within the family, instead of finding ways to find new jobs for them to continue exploiting them?
Li Qing felt that the Liu family would not be so kind. Now that the Eagle Bandits have just disappeared, many industries are in need of manpower.
Especially in the Changsheng Valley, there are still many unused spiritual fields beside Liuhu Lake!
"Mining is okay, but if I want to be a spiritual farmer and spend all my time taking care of the spiritual fields, then how can I have time to practice and study the art of refining weapons!"
"Oh, take it one step at a time. Well, if it doesn’t work out, I might have to leave the Liu family.”
Speaking of this, Li Qing felt a little reluctant to give up. After all, being a spiritual miner is quite good, and the benefits are not bad.
At the same time, Li Qing is thinking about playing a guest role as a spiritual farmer for a while. After the murderer who attacked the mine is investigated by the Tianhe Sect, he can resume his old career?
But soon, as soon as this idea came up, Li Qing killed it immediately.
"No! How could I have such an idea!"
"I am an independent individual, can't I live without the Liu family?!"
"When I came to the Liu family, I chose to be a The spirit miners just want to integrate into the world of immortality, find out more information, and then continue mining, just because they have more free time and the profits are good."
Li Qing immediately became vigilant. He felt that now he was in trouble. My mentality seems to have changed, and I am a little more at ease with the situation.
When I first set foot on the Immortal Path, I was determined to appreciate the scenery from higher places and see the magnificent mountains and rivers in the world.
But now, this spirit has been slowly being drained away unconsciously, and he is even somewhat dependent on the job as a spiritual miner provided by the Liu family.
It is true that, being able to freely travel through the polar night world, he can earn quite a lot of spiritual stones through mining.
But now that he can't go to the mine for the time being, will he have to work as a time-consuming and laborious spiritual farmer for a while?
What if the culprit of the attack on the mine cannot be caught? What if I am attacked by thugs when I go to the mine in the future? Or maybe the spirit stone veins have been exhausted?
Li Qing kept asking himself questions and reflecting.
Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes immediately became extremely determined.
At this moment, Li Qing, the martial arts master who once dominated the world and determined to embark on the path of immortality, came back again!
"Huh! I can't believe that a person's heart can be wiped out bit by bit without even realizing it?"
"Senior Zhou, this is it. Is the real reason why you kept warning me?”
Suddenly, Li Qing thought of Zhou Tong, who had resolutely chosen to take the Spirit Condensation Pill and take on the task of helping the Liu family to defeat the Flying Eagle Thief. .
This decision had always been difficult for Li Qing to understand before, but now he understands the reason.
How could Old Man Zhou, who had been struggling in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years, not see how dangerous it was to conquer the Flying Eagle Bandit?
However, after so many years of mining, Old Man Zhou’s spirit must have been completely drained away.
He made that decision probably because he was unwilling to accept his current situation.
When they first entered the world of immortality, no one would want to become a spiritual miner who would be imprisoned in a dark mine for the rest of his life and could only do nothing!
Who doesn’t want to sing wildly with a sword and live a happy life? !
“Fortunately, it’s not too late for me to wake up.” Li Qing loosened his tightly clenched fists, and a cheerful smile appeared on his lips again.
In the dark and cold mine, the swing of the pickaxe not only shattered the hard ore, but also a person's heart.
Don’t be content with the status quo, be prepared for danger in times of peace!
After thinking about this, Li Qing made a decision immediately.
First refine the magic weapon version of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail, and then pack your things and leave!
The world of immortality is so big, you have to go and see it!
Next step, Tianhefang City!
“If the mine hadn’t been attacked, I don’t know how long it would have taken for me to realize it.”
After finishing his words, Li Qing took out the various parts of the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Nail. , the mood is getting high!
Asking for votes!
