Chapter 434: The Effect of Spirit Stones

"Trash!"

"Idiots!"

A roar came from a large courtyard in the Yu Kingdom spirit mine, belonging to the Prince of Wei, Zhu Gan.

"Your Highness..."

Several soldiers with embarrassed faces lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Last night.

It wasn't just demonic cultivators; in fact, the Fifth Prince had also sent people disguised as demonic cultivators, trying to get a share of the pie.

But he didn't expect.

Not only did they not get the spirit stones, but they were schemed against by the Qingwei Sect, and even the people of the Yu Kingdom were killed together as demonic cultivators.

These were all Zhu Gan's private soldiers, and they were not easy to cultivate.

Just last night alone, seven or eight people died directly; he was naturally angry.

And what was even more frustrating was that this matter couldn't be clarified at all.

They could only swallow the bitter fruit.

Truly stealing a chicken only to lose the rice.

Zhu Gan had never suffered such a big loss, so he was naturally frustrated.

He turned his head and glanced at Ben Shi, who was also covered in blood beside him, but didn't say anything.

If it weren't for Ben Shi, the whole army should have been wiped out last night.

Zhu Gan suppressed the fire in his heart:

"General Ben, do the aftermath well; don't let the Qingwei Sect know that our people also intervened."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ben Shi nodded in a muffled voice and left to take the order.

Zhu Gan felt a burst of irritability in his heart and waved his sleeves: "All of you, get down."

Hearing this.

The few remaining personal guards finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side.

Spirit mine.

In Li Rui's mansion.

When Li Rui pushed the door open, he saw Yuan Xiong sitting in the courtyard, pouring tea and drinking tea by himself.

"Brother Yuan."

Li Rui chuckled.

Yuan Xiong smiled slightly: "Brother Li, the few people sent by the Prince of Wei have already been sent away by me."

"Thank you, Brother Yuan."

Last night.

When something happened to the Qingwei Sect, Yuan Xiong went to find Li Rui for the first time.

Then he discovered that Li Rui was not in the room.

As intelligent as he was, he naturally understood that Li Rui should have already taken action.

So he stayed in the courtyard to cover the rear.

Sure enough.

The Fifth Prince sent people to investigate his and Li Rui's situation, and he easily sent them away.

Yuan Xiong became curious: "Brother, how is the situation?"

Li Rui sat down, poured a cup of tea for himself, took a sip, and said: "The Qingwei Sect set a trap to kill most of the demonic cultivators; the top-grade spirit stones are fake and are not in the Qingwei Sect's spirit mine; they were transferred away by the Qingwei Sect using secret methods."

Yuan Xiong was shocked:

"What a scheme!"

If he weren't an outsider, maybe he would have been deceived by the Qingwei Sect too.

Li Rui continued: "However, the top-grade spirit stones were intercepted by a mysterious strong person."

Hearing this.

Yuan Xiong was dumbfounded.

It was truly a case of being too clever for one's own good, only to benefit others.

He became even more curious: "Does that person know the way?"

Li Rui shook his head: "Don't know; I guess it should be a banished immortal."

He was a secret guard and also a person from the Annan Town.

He had long since recorded the characteristics of everyone on the world's martial arts evaluation, and the person who took action did not find a match on the martial arts evaluation.

Either it was a banished immortal or a hidden master.

Looking at his use of immortal arts, the possibility of a banished immortal was greater.

Yuan Xiong narrowed his eyes: "Truly the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

Li Rui:

"This time the Qingwei Sect suffered such a big loss, they will certainly retaliate; maybe in a few days, we will know who did it."

Yuan Xiong nodded: "Indeed."

Although the Qingwei Sect is a Daoist sect, its actions are not at all clear and bright; there have been too many times of thunderous means.

Daoist Su Xuan Yu is almost called Old Demon Su Xuan Yu in the South Sea.

Pure Void Son died in the South Sea.

The murderer was not found, but demonic cultivators were killed in large numbers.

There have been too many such situations.

The Qingwei Sect has never suffered a loss, and of course, its own foundation is strong enough, otherwise it wouldn't be qualified to compete for spirit mines with behemoths like the Yu and Wu kingdoms.

Having suffered such a big loss this time, it is naturally impossible to swallow the anger.

"Brother Li, since you are back, I will leave first, so as not to let our Prince of Wei worry."

Yuan Xiong drank the tea in one gulp.

And left after standing up.

Only Li Rui was left sitting alone in the courtyard, drinking tea quietly.

Just now, he didn't tell Yuan Xiong about the top-grade spirit stones.

It was not that he didn't trust him.

But it was unnecessary.

Yuan Xiong helped him, and he would naturally return it in other forms; although they were brothers, they couldn't just take without giving, as such brothers wouldn't last long.

Li Rui finished a pot of tea.

He prepared to wait for the storm to subside before finding an uninhabited place to quietly refine the top-grade spirit stones.

Now was not the time.

Afterward, he closed his eyes and felt carefully.

The Evil Puppet Array still existed.

Obviously, the array masters who set up the Evil Puppet Array did not participate in last night's events, or they successfully escaped from the Qingwei Sect's pursuit.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lost in thought.

Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

An old man in black robes, covered in blood, was walking hard in the mountain forest.

It was exactly Daoist Wan Gui.

At this time, his aura was withered to the extreme.

He was an evil array master in the Below Tongxuan upper realm; if he had been prepared and set up an array, his strength would naturally be extremely strong.

But now he was the object of pursuit.

He had no time to set up a large array, and his combat power was naturally greatly reduced.

Last night.

He rushed into the Qingwei Sect spirit mine with a large group of demonic cultivators and even broke the defensive line with an evil array.

The group of demonic cultivators was able to rush into the spirit mine.

Didn't expect.

The damn Qingwei Sect actually cheated.

If he hadn't been prepared and his strength hadn't been strong enough, maybe he would have really died in the spirit mine like other demonic cultivators.

Over a hundred demonic cultivators, just one night.

Almost all those below the Third Rank were executed, and several Third-Rank strong people also died.

Even Old Monster Nine Evils was seriously injured by the two stinky bull-noses, Su Xuan Wei and Su Xuan Yu.

If Su Xuan Wei and Su Xuan Yu hadn't been attracted by something, they might have fallen directly.

It was more than just miserable.

Even now.

The Qingwei Sect didn't intend to let them go and sent a large number of masters to pursue and intercept them.

Daoist Wan Gui glanced behind him.

Spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

He was deceived.

And he was deceived by both sides at the same time.

The Qingwei Sect, and that young cultivator from the Wan Wan Fadian.

That young cultivator said to let him come to find opportunities, and he would also go.

As a result, he didn't even see a shadow, but he was in danger, and he didn't know if he could live until tomorrow.

How miserable it was.

Daoist Wan Gui's resentment at this time was even greater than a ghost's.

Of course, asking him to give up and wait for death was absolutely impossible.

Just as he gritted his teeth and intended to use forbidden methods.

The space ahead fluctuated.

Then he saw a familiar young cultivator walk out from the void.

It was Ji Lei!

Daoist Wan Gui saw Ji Lei appear, and his eyes were immediately filled with ecstasy.

Saved!

He originally thought Ji Lei wanted him to be cannon fodder to die, but he didn't expect that he really came to save him.

Ji Lei looked at the embarrassed Daoist Wan Gui:

"Fellow Daoist has worked hard; you also know that Su Xuan Wei and Su Xuan Yu are really hard to deal with, and to shake them off, I spent quite a bit of effort."

Hearing this.

Daoist Wan Gui was shocked.

A flash of realization flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that the person who led the two evil stars Su Xuan Wei and Su Xuan Yu away just now was actually the young cultivator in front of him.

'What on earth did he do?!'

Before Daoist Wan Gui could ask, Ji Lei took a step forward and then took out another talisman.

It was a Small Teleportation Talisman.

"Let's go, let's leave here first."

Ji Lei smiled slightly.

As the Small Teleportation Talisman was thrown out, the two immediately dissipated into nothingness.

Just a few breaths.

The Qingwei Sect strong people pursuing Daoist Wan Gui arrived.

The leading elder looked at the ground, his brow furrowed.

"Ran away?"

He had an annoyed and angry expression.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, there was still an accomplice of that demonic cultivator hidden in this Ten Thousand Mountains, so they could escape.

"Continue to check!"

That Qingwei Sect elder still didn't intend to let it go.

For demonic cultivators, of course, one must eliminate evil completely.

The storm subsided.

Li Rui only stayed in the spirit mine for a few days, and then found an excuse to return directly to Qinghe.

This day.

He came to a wilderness outside Qinghe City and escaped a hundred zhang underground.

Only then did he take out the top-grade spirit stones sealed layer by layer by talismans from his bosom.

Li Rui didn't completely unseal them, but only unsealed a part.

And then refined them with the Wan Gu Chang Qing Qi.

Doing so, the speed of refining the top-grade spirit stones was slower, originally taking a month, now directly becoming three months, but it was sufficiently concealed.

Cultivating underground for three months without eating or drinking.

When Li Rui appeared again.

His soul was fuller and more abundant than ever, completely without any fatigue from not eating, drinking, or sleeping.

'Top-grade spirit stones are worthy of being divine treasures coveted even by First-Rank.'

He only obtained a piece of top-grade spirit stone the size of a fist, and it actually saved him a full dozen years of bitter cultivation!

The effect was amazing.

Not only that, these top-grade spirit stones could actually increase the understanding of the Great Dao.

The importance of the Great Dao didn't need to be said; this point alone was enough to make the cultivators of the world go crazy.

Otherwise, if they were just large spirit stones, they would naturally not be enough to make those demonic cultivators risk their lives so much.

After refining the top-grade spirit stones, Li Rui returned to the Qingwei Sect.

After that night.

The disciples of the Qingwei Sect were like victorious roosters.

After all, in their view, the Qingwei Sect used a wonderful plan to behead over a hundred demonic cultivators.

They did the good deed of eliminating demons.

The status of the Qingwei Sect as the leader of the righteous path became even more stable.

As for the top-grade spirit stones, very few people knew about them.

Mount Changqing Peak was as quiet as ever.

It was not affected by the storm outside at all.

The courtyard was quiet, everyone was cultivating in the room, and the only one who didn't have the heart to cultivate immortality was perhaps Tan Hu.

"Big brother, why don't we go down the mountain to play."

Tan Hu rubbed his hands in anticipation.

Li Rui: "Tiger, don't think about it within a year."

Ever since the last demonic cultivator attack on the Qingwei Sect, the Qingwei Sect not only reinforced the large array but also became stricter in its supervision of the Yu and Wu kingdoms.

He knew from Sang Kong's words.

That night, not only the Fifth Prince Zhu Gan, but the Wu Kingdom also sent quite a few people.

All suffered secret losses.

Zhu Gan was angry, and the Wu Kingdom was also angry.

But the most angry one must be the Qingwei Sect.

Li Rui naturally knew that the Qingwei Sect had even lost the top-grade spirit stones this time, far from being as successful as it looked.

This account naturally had to be settled on that mysterious strong person.

It would also be settled on the Yu and Wu kingdoms.

The first to bear the brunt were Li Rui and Sang Kong.

Sang Kong had complained to him more than once these days, saying that the Qingwei Sect was bullying people too much.

But besides the word "endure," there was no other way.

Who told them to be the ones who started it first? Now it was counted on the two of them first.

Li Rui didn't care about this.

As long as he didn't go down this Mount Changqing Peak, what could the people of the Qingwei Sect do to him?
