After negotiation, Tang Jie followed the remnant mark of that night into the mine. As for Qiu Shuyu and others, they didn't follow the rules.

Some miners in the mine are still walking around with baskets on their backs, but the long and narrow tunnel leads to the unfathomable dark depths.

It is said that for this spirit stone vein, the stone sect almost dug the mine tunnel deep into the mountainside. Now the periphery of the mine cave has been hollowed out, which is like a hall in the mountain. If miners want to dig enough spiritual stones, they often have to walk a long way along the mine tunnel.

The walls around the pit were reinforced by practitioners with earth magic. After confirming that the mines in this area have been excavated, the cultivator will seal them with earth magic to prevent collapse. However, according to the rules, there will be a certain gap at each forbidden reinforcement point to facilitate the spiritual master's investigation.

At this moment, with the Xi remnant mark walking a few steps in the main hall, Tang Jie came to a rock wall, put his hand into the gap and started Reiki. A trace of aura penetrates through the gap. After feeling the barrier, there can be energy fluctuations.

After exploring for a moment, Tang Jie only felt a little extremely weak energy fluctuation and knew that it was just some residues that were not worth digging. The rock wall in this area had indeed been hollowed out.

This is not surprising. This is the entrance of the mine, which is the most unlikely place to be missed. Tang Jie investigated here and mainly felt the soil and aura feedback here.

After the trial, Tang Jie took out the pit map, wrote a few strokes on it, and said to the Xi remnant mark, "let's go."

The pit map was an early map. With the later excavation of the mine channel extending in all directions, the map gradually couldn't keep up. Therefore, even if there was a map, Tang Jie still needed to find a guide to move forward.

He is not afraid of getting lost when he arrives. If he gets dizzy, he doesn't even know where he has been. If he misses a point, and there is a batch of ore after this point, it will be a loss to the moon washing sect.

Tang Jie's instruction to Xi remnant mark is to take the shortest route to every mine.

At this moment, the two continued to move forward. Every time they walked a section of the road, Tang Jie would stop and carefully search each mine wall without missing any.

Under the dim yellow light, the two people moved forward step by step.

The more you go inside, the more rugged the road is. With the increase of turnouts, fewer and fewer people are met. At first, some miners could be seen squatting in front of the broken stones looking for the original stones. They were wary of everyone approaching them with cautious eyes. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer miners, only occasionally hearing the sound of the distant mine pick hitting the rock.

"Doesn't it mean that the deeper you go, the more mines there are? Why are most of the miners concentrated in the middle and rear section? If you go deeper, there will be no one?" Tang Jie asked.

The young man answered without looking back, "because there are monsters in the deepest place."

"Monsters?" Tang robber was surprised. "You said there were monsters in the mine? Then why didn't you find the spirit Master of the stone sect to kill the monsters?"

"I've been here." Xi remnant replied, "unfortunately, it's useless. When they come, the monster disappears and doesn't appear at all. It's like being able to find them."

With the description of Xi remnant mark, Tang Jie understood.

It was about two years ago that there was a demon in the mine.

On that day, the miners were digging in the deep tunnels when they suddenly heard a scream. When the miners arrived with the cry, they found that there was only a pool of blood on the ground, but one miner completely disappeared.

Soon after that, three more miners went missing.

It was then that the stone sect sent someone to check, and this was their first visit.

However, after investigation, the people of the stone sect found nothing.

However, with the departure of Shimen disciples, the demon making incident reappeared again and became more fierce.

This time it was a direct appearance - someone saw the monster with their own eyes.

Tang Jie asked, "do you say someone saw the monster with their own eyes and didn't die?"

"Well." the young man nodded, "and more than one person, about more than a dozen people saw it. He said that he has thick long hair, about three meters high, great strength, and sharp claws. He can make a big hole in the rock wall at once. He can drill the ground. By the way, he can swallow the raw ore."

"Long hair, three meters, sharp claws, great power, drilling into the ground, swallowing raw ore... What kind of monster is this?" Tang Jie thought repeatedly, but he didn't expect any kind of monster to be like this. However, there are all kinds of wonders in the world. Plants and raw stones can be refined. Even if there is something you haven't seen, it's not uncommon. Don't say yourself. Even if you can wash the moon, you can't say you're used to seeing strange things in the world.

"Then?" Tang Jie asked.

The teenager shrugged: "What else can I do? Tell the stone sect again. But the monster is really cunning. As long as the people of the stone sect come, they can't hibernate. This is a big mountain, and it can drill into the ground. If it doesn't get out, the stone sect can't take it unless the whole yongsui mountain is lifted. Later, the stone sect simply sent its disciples to pretend to be miners, restrain their breath and wait for the monster secretly. The result was not good Once, a Shimen disciple fought with a monster. Unfortunately, he failed to kill the monster and was slipped away by the monster before the Shimen reinforcements arrived. However, the disciple also knew something about it. He said that the monster should have some ability to delimit territory by himself, and all life within its territory can be found by it. Therefore, it is very difficult to encircle and suppress the monster. What's more The method of pretending to be a monster has been used. The monster will not be easily fooled and is almost impossible to catch. However, as long as it is outside the monster's territory, the monster will not go out easily. "

"So the miners don't dig deep?"

"Yes. Fortunately, the monster came out late. All the mines that are easy to dig in the depths have been dug. In addition, its territory area is small. Therefore, although it will miss some minerals, the loss is not too large. In addition, sometimes bold miners will sneak over and knock twice and steal some raw minerals. As long as the movement is not too big, the monster will ignore it."

Said Xi remnant mark and looked back at Tang Jie: "the reason why I can get the most raw ore is that I steal the most times. Maybe it's because I'm too small. Every time I go in, the monster doesn't eat me."

"So it is..." Tang Jie gave a long ending and his eyes narrowed slightly.

After another period of walking, Tang robbery and Xi residual trace have reached the deepest point.

At the end of the tunnel is a bottomless abyss. Looking down from above, the abyss is dark and can't see anything.

"Here is the end." Xi remnant Mark said: "that's the end of the vein. There are still some raw ores on the rock wall here, but there is the monster underground. The miners dare not come easily. If you weren't there, I wouldn't dare to stand here. I usually pick some and run away on the edge of its territory."

The ore wall in this area was not sealed. Tang robber reached out and explored it at will. He found that there were indeed large energy fluctuations behind the rock wall, which confirmed that there were many raw ores here.

This is also the last surplus of this vein.

According to the Shimen sect, after the ore in other places is mined, the Shimen sect will personally send disciples to guard here and dig the remaining ore. what Tang Jie needs to do is to report the proved amount of remaining ore. at that time, after Xiyue sect collects its share, it won't have to pay attention to this ore vein.

To confirm the simplicity of the remaining ore and to find out the specific quantity of the remaining ore, the cultivator needs to spend his mind and explore it. However, Tang Jiewu's wisdom palm insight, for him, prospecting is only a small matter, so he only uses his mind a little, and the raw ore behind the rock wall is roughly clear.

After counting the quantity, Tang Jie took out a black stone: "what about this?"

The black stone was given to him before Xi remnant mark. It was also the core key for the boy to open the Jade Gate, and it was also the key to make Tang Jie look moved.

Xi residual trace refers to a rock wall channel not far away: "Right here. When I came to steal the mining stone that day, I happened to see a bare raw ore in front of me. For miners, the bare raw ore was like gold on the ground, so I went there regardless of the danger, mined the raw ore, and brought out the stone. I saw that the stone was strange, so I took it back. I didn't expect that it was hot all over that night and there seemed to be something in my body Something rushes around and feels stronger later... "

"Sure enough," Tang Jie murmured.

"Do you know what this is?" asked Xi remnant mark. Since he got the black stone, he felt that his body had changed obviously and wondered what it was in his heart. But he knew he had no ability to keep a secret and didn't dare to reveal it until Tang Jie saw his secret. Now that Tang Jie knows it, he naturally wants to ask.

Tang robbed and didn't hide it from him: "this is a crystalline sand silkworm."

"Sand silkworm? You mean it's not a stone, it's an animal?" Xi remnant asked in surprise.

"Well." Tang Jie nodded, "to be exact, it's a sand silkworm turned into stone. It's a rare material in the cultivation world."

The exact name of the sand silkworm is actually called the spirit eating sand silkworm. It is a very rare demon worm. The biggest feature of this kind of demon worm is that it is fond of eating spirit stones. The life span of a sand silkworm is generally about 500 days. In these 500 days, it desperately devours spirit stones at the rate of two kilograms per day. In its life, it can devour about 1000 kilograms of raw ore of spirit stones, which is converted into 100 spirit stones.

With such a terrible appetite, the sand silkworm does not waste any aura. Except for those meaningless residues, every aura is in its body. The reason for this is that the sand silkworm has a special ability, that is, aura crystallization. However, as the sand silkworm devours more and more, the crystalline aura becomes more and more fierce, and finally the whole body of the sand silkworm will completely crystallize, which means Formed the black stone in Tang Jie's hand.

For practitioners, it is the supreme treasure.

Because it is an important material that can enhance the spiritual reserves of practitioners.

For practitioners, due to congenital limitations, practitioners can only liquefy Reiki.

For example, the peak of Linghai, with thousands of drops of liquid, is the manifestation of Reiki liquefaction. Even the practitioners who have been separated from the world can only use the spirit in their body to attract the spirit of heaven and earth, but their own Reiki reserves are the same as the students at the peak of Linghai, because this is the limit of the human body.

If Reiki can be crystallized, the practitioner's mana will undoubtedly be greatly improved. Unfortunately, due to the congenital limitations of the human body, it is almost impossible for the practitioner to crystallize Reiki.

Crystalline sand silkworm is a treasure that can make up for this regret. It can help practitioners generate a structure that can crystallize spiritual liquid in the body, make some spiritual liquid crystal, and improve the reserves of spiritual Qi.

Of course, practitioners can't crystallize all the spiritual liquid because of this. It will only make practitioners like mortals swallow gold, fall and explode into the spiritual sky and die. Therefore, the spiritual sea is still based, and crystallization is only an aid, just like icebergs in the sea, which belongs to limited promotion.

Although it is a limited promotion, it is the total amount of aura to be promoted after all, and its value can be imagined!

Therefore, crystalline sand silkworm is a hundred times rarer than Ling mine, and almost every piece can be sold at a sky high price in the market.

Like the crystalline sand silkworm in Tang Jie's hand, if used properly, it can help Tang Jie form a Reiki crystalline structure of about 300 points. A monk can hold about 30% of the upper limit of the crystalline aura, that is, ten crystalline sand silkworms can increase the total mana of Tang Jie by 30%, which is quite amazing.

It's normal that such a terrible aura content and quality can help Xi residual mark break through the Jade Gate, but this boy is lucky. Although the crystalline sand silkworm can help break through the Yumen, the danger is not low at all. His life is great for him to not die. It is rare that under the guidance of no one, this little guy has even reached the sixth weight of the Yumen. After asking, Tang Jie knew that the boy was stubborn. Although he was in pain at that time, he didn't say a word just by his nature without any guidance. Tang Jie had to marvel that he didn't waste his talent at all.

At this moment, he knew the meaning of the sand silkworm, and Xi remnant mark was stunned: "isn't this thing very valuable?"

That was the first thought that came to his mind.

"Yes, in the cultivation world, a piece of crystallized sand silkworm can sell for at least 100000 yuan, but there is still a price without a market." Tang Jie replied, "but your value has been reduced a lot because you don't maintain it properly and are absorbed by you day and night... You are a luxury to use crystallized sand silkworm to flush the Jade Gate, but it's not useless. At least your body is strong."

Xi remnant scar didn't learn the immortal cultivation skill. There was nowhere to go for his excess aura, so he spontaneously moistened his body and made the boy's bones quite strong. Otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat the four strong men.

"One hundred thousand Lingqian." the boy's eyes looking at the black stone were almost spewing out fire.

"What? Regret?" Tang Jie asked with a smile.

The boy thought for a moment and replied, "it's just a pity, but it's nothing. If you don't tell me, I don't know. It will only spoil good things in vain."

"Still a sensible one." Tang Jie nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, he shook his hand and gave the crystalline sand silkworm to Xi remnant mark.

Xi remnant Mark looked at Tang Jie incomprehensibly. Tang Jie had said, "any life doesn't exist alone. There are often one and two. Therefore, if there is a crystalline sand silkworm, there will be a second and a third... What I want is only the place where they exist. As for this, I'll give it back to you, so that you don't think my noble monk cheated from you."

Xi residual scar shouted, "I'm not a little broken child!"

Hands and feet are very fast to put away the crystalline sand silkworm, and his eyes show a trace of gratitude.

Tang Jie then continued to explore the ore wall to find the crystalline sand silkworm.

However, no matter how hard Ren Tangjie tried, he couldn't find one.

This made Tang Zhai feel puzzled. Although it was said that the energy of crystalline sand silkworm was very little to escape due to crystallization, and there were spirit stones everywhere behind the rock wall, its energy fluctuation was more easily disturbed, but Tang Zhai was a person of insight and was confident that if there were sand silkworm in this area, he had no reason not to find it.

Is there really only one sand silkworm?

This is not impossible. It is common for sand silkworm to escape from the earth and live in the spirit mine for hundreds of miles a day. If only an alien sand silkworm finds the mineral vein here and comes to eat, although it is less likely, there is a precedent to follow.

Or has it been mined by previous people?

This is not impossible.

In fact, the supervisor will steal from himself, which is common in the cultivation world. Even the moon washing sect doesn't think that the stone sect will be clean, but everything needs to be measured. As long as it doesn't go too far, the moon washing sect usually turns a blind eye, just like Wu Xiucai at the stone gate party.

But the sand silkworm is a big event. If it is also to steal, once it is spread, it will be the disaster of extermination.

Moreover, it is difficult to keep this kind of thing secret. After all, after the crystalline sand silkworm comes out, it is either for its own use or for sale. No matter which choice, it is big news. As long as there is no exact origin, the major sects will chase its source. It is difficult for the stone sect to hide it.

However, since the demon incident, no miners have come to mine the rock wall here. The rock wall is intact. If someone stealthily mines, the rock wall cannot be kept so complete, and the miners cannot know it.

Or... In fact, this is not the nest of sand silkworm?

Tang Jie turned his head and looked into the abyss at the end of the mine road.

He walked slowly to the abyss and shot his right hand. An eyeball in the palm of his hand was generated for no reason. It was Tongming's eye.

The eyeball rose toward the top of the abyss and observed carefully. Although it can be observed from a full perspective, it has no penetrating ability. The field of vision is everywhere, the surrounding is dark, and there are solid rock walls everywhere, but no clues were found.

Tang Jie frowned deeply and stood in situ thinking for a long time.

Finally, a little light in his eyebrow lit up, and a vertical eye gradually showed its greatness.

As soon as the vertical eye appeared, a light column was emitted from the vertical eye, shining on the opposite rock wall, and then swayed around like a searchlight.

Unfortunately, even if it was Tianmu's investigation, he still didn't find anything. Tang Jie couldn't help thinking again that he might have made a mistake. The sand silkworm was just walking alone.

Just then, a scream came from behind.

Xi remnant mark!

The vertical eyes disappeared. When Tang Jiameng turned back, he saw that the Xi residual mark had flown towards him.

As soon as Tang Jie reached out and grabbed the remnant of Xi, he heard a roar, and a huge dark shadow rushed down towards Tang Jie.

Long hair!

tall and big!

sharp claw!

In the dim light, Tang Jie saw the dark shadow coming at him. It was the demon mentioned by Xi remnant mark.

It turned up.

At this time, Tang Jie grabbed Xi remnant mark and his hands were restrained. He could have raised Xi remnant mark and used him as a shield to resist this claw, but at that moment, Tang Jie released Xi remnant mark so that Xi remnant Mark would not be hit.

At the same time, the monster's claw has been fiercely photographed against Tang Jie, right in the chest of Tang Jie. With one blow, Tang Jie flew and fell towards the depths of the cliff.
