C2367 Spirit Stone Vein
Even if he didn't come, the Sword Tower would have made their move?!
As Leng Yanyan spoke, Lin Bai's sword-like eyebrows twitched, as an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes. The way the Sword Pavilion dealt with things was something he was well aware of. All the sword cultivators were true sword maniacs, immersed in the way of the sword, unable to extricate themselves. Other than the sword in their hands, they were completely focused on other external matters and had no time to pay attention to what was happening outside.
But now, even this group of sword maniacs had started to want to compete. Just what had caused this strange change? What had attracted these sword maniacs to cause them to be so abnormal?
"After the destruction of Little Fang Mountain, it's said that someone discovered an entire spirit stone vein in the mountain's former location. The quality is also quite extraordinary, and it definitely contains quite a few top quality spirit stones." Seeming to have seen the doubt in Lin Bai's heart, Leng Wuyan chuckled softly before revealing an expression of longing as she slowly spoke.
The small mountain had actually discovered another spirit stone vein, and it was even a vein that was highly likely to contain top grade spirit stones! Upon hearing Leng Zhan's words, even Lin Bai's heart began to beat wildly.
He really didn't expect that the hidden world situation would have such a shocking change. What spirit stones were they? They were definitely magical items that could increase one's cultivation. Furthermore, the rarity of top quality spirit stones was even rarer.
Back in the Kunlun Holy Land, Lin Bai had extracted a top-grade spirit stone that was only the size of a pigeon egg from a piece of raw rock. But even so, Lin Bai believed that this was the only spirit stone in this world.
The benefits of spirit stones to cultivators were beyond description. Even if it was mid-grade or high-grade spirit stones, countless people would be willing to give up everything just to obtain one. Needless to say, they were top quality spirit stones that were far more effective than the two of them.
Even if there was only one top quality spirit stone in the mines of the Little Fang Mountain, it was still enough to make people fight over it with all their might. Needless to say, this vein could very possibly contain a large amount of top grade spirit stones, which was even more extraordinary.
Even the Sword Fanatics of the Sword Pavilion could no longer sit still. So it was because such a rare treasure had appeared in the hidden world. Not just them, even Lin Bai's heart was moved at this moment. He almost wanted to go and try his hand at this.
One must know that after learning about the secret of the five-colored altar, the craving for top grade spirit stones that was left behind by Sophia and Li Qing Nan had reached an extreme level.
One of the reasons he came to seclude himself was because he wanted to obtain as many top quality spirit stones as possible. Now that he had just entered seclusion and received this news, it was no different from having someone send him a soft pillow and a warm bed right after he had just dozed off.
"Where did you get that information?" After pondering for a moment, even though Lin Bai's heart was moved, he understood that the situation in the hidden realm was extremely complicated. Logically speaking, if there really was a top quality spirit stone hidden vein in the small mountain, then those who knew it would be hiding all sorts of things.
He couldn't help but wonder if someone with ulterior motives was deliberately releasing the smoke bombs.
"This news was spread by Senior Tie Yuan." Leng Yanyan smiled lightly and said slowly, "After the destruction of the small mountain, senior Tie made a trip to the small mountain to pay homage to the deceased. Who would've thought that such an unexpected discovery would occur …"
"Senior Iron originally wanted to hide this information and not let it fall into someone with ulterior motives, but he didn't think that someone with ulterior motives would be able to detect his movements. Later on, someone invited Senior Tie to drink with him and taunted him during the banquet. He did not even find a single top grade spirit stone. He was worthy of being the successor to the line of Spirit Masters. Elder Iron was so drunk that he leaked the information out of anger. When he woke up from his drunken stupor, senior Iron felt extremely vexed. He hated himself for making a slip of the tongue, and so he spread the news to the rest of the world so that they would know about it. "
The news came from Tie Yuan? Upon hearing Leng Zhan's explanation, Lin Bai started to believe the rumor in his heart. When he first arrived in Little Fang Mountain, Tie Yuan was quite concerned about him. Moreover, he could see that this person was actually no different from the sword maniac of the Sword Pavilion. However, compared to the Sword Pavilion, he was much more immersed in the Dao of the Sword while he was immersed in the art of investigating spirit stones.
Lin Bai had an extremely good impression of this kind of pure character. He believed that Tie Yuan was indeed the kind of person who could do this kind of thing. Moreover, he did do this kind of thing with reason. If this news were to leak out, it would be better to just throw it out and stir up the water. Even if the mine ended up in the hands of the people who wanted it, they would have to pay the price for it.
This was an extremely helpless choice. Lin Bai believed that if it wasn't for the helplessness of the situation, Tie Yuan would never have done such a thing.
"Where is senior Iron now? If there's any news of him, we can invite him to come and discuss this matter together." After pondering for a while, Lin Bai made a decision and slowly said.
He trusted the character of Tie Yuan. Moreover, the inheritance of the line of Blood Spiritualists was no small matter. It was impossible to find a vein of mines without Tie Yuan. Although he had a forbidden-level snake that could break the seal on the ore, Tie Yuan had mistakenly believed that it had the ability to view the spirit.
However, only Lin Bai himself knew that the Forbidden Snake could only crack the ore deposit. It was simply impossible to find the vein.
This also meant that as long as Lin Bai wanted to obtain top grade spirit stones, he would not be able to leave without the help of the metal elemental energy. Furthermore, Lin Bai believed that with Tie Yuan's character, as long as he could get in touch with him, in consideration of their past relationship, after he acknowledged him as his friend, Tie Yuan would definitely help him achieve their mutual victory and fulfill their mutual wish.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Master …" However, just as Lin Bai was brimming with confidence, Leng Yanyan splashed a bucket of cold water on him. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Senior Iron has gone missing, no one can contact him. However, according to the elder's and my speculations, Senior Iron has probably been kidnapped by the Spirit Spring Sect. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been no news of him at all. "
"The Spirit Spring Sect? How did Senior Tie get involved with them?" Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai couldn't help but stop in his tracks. Doubt appeared on his face as he looked at Leng Zhan Yan. He really didn't know what was going on right now.
Ever since he had quarreled with the young sect master of the Spirit Spring Sect, Jiang Ling, and killed him, a gap had arisen between the two. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they wouldn't stop until the two of them were dead. Otherwise, the Spirit Spring Martial School would not have sent Jiang Fangyun into the secular world during the Zhong Shan Large Competition to besiege him.
After killing Jiang Fangyun's uncle and nephew, the reason why Lin Bai chose not to follow Brother Cheng Wu directly to the Boneyard was to accompany He Jia Er and Xia Xiaoqing. He was also worried that the Spirit Spring Sect would take revenge on them again.
However, the Spirit Spring Martial School fell into a strange silence after the incident at Zhong Shan. It was as if they had completely forgotten about their enmity with Ye Xiao. It was because of this that Lin Bai left these women and headed towards the Boneyard.
Lin Bai never would have thought that the cause of this change would actually be here. So it turned out that the matter of the Spirit Spring Sect and the Small Square Mountain's Spirit Stone lode had been involved. After considering the pros and cons, he didn't take revenge on himself.
"When Little Fang's mountain was destroyed, it was actually related to the Spirit Spring Martial School. The Spirit Spring Martial School was the main force that destroyed Little Fang's mountain, and they were the ones who took the most advantage of it." When Leng Zhan Yan heard this, she smiled coldly, and with a trace of malice in her expression, she said coldly: "If you do something well, you can naturally do it with ease."
Lin Bai fell silent. He could hear the venom in Leng Zhan Yan's words. He also understood why Leng Zhan was doing this. It was because the Spirit Spring Sect and Leng Zhan had a blood feud of extermination.
From a certain point of view, Little Fang Mountain could be said to have followed the footsteps of the Pill Symbol Sect back then.
"Don't worry. Since Master has come to seclusion, and the matter of the Spirit Spring Sect and the spirit stone mine has been at loggerheads, I'll naturally help you understand your grudge. I'll definitely give you a chance to get revenge!" After smiling indifferently, Lin Bai's expression was calm, as if he was just casually agreeing to something casual. He was full of confidence as he spoke to Leng Yanyan.
With these words, Leng Zhan's face revealed a look of joy. After such a long period of interaction, she had long since reached the point where she had absolute confidence in Lin Bai's promises. She knew that Lin Bai was someone who would keep his word. Since Lin Bai had promised her that he would pay the price of blood, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.
It was just that he owed Master enough. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be where he was now. If his master helped him to get rid of the deep hatred between him and the Spirit Spring Sect, how could he repay his master?
As he thought of this, a perplexed look appeared on Leng Zhan's face. His pale cheeks changed constantly, and after a long while, he glanced at Lin Bai's handsome face out of the corner of his eyes, before shyly and expectantly.
"The small mountains are currently in the grasp of what kind of power? Is the Spirit Spring Sect controlling the situation? How could Lin Bai know about Leng Zhan Yan's inner thoughts. After pondering for a while, he slowly spoke to her.
"No, although the Spirit Spring Sect is powerful, they don't have the courage to become fat with a single bite …" Leng Wuyan smiled lightly and continued, "Right now, Little Fang's mountains can be said to be a forbidden area of seclusion. The various powers all came to a tacit agreement. No one dared to enter, and as long as someone entered, they would kill that person without a shred of mercy. But in private, they are all in series, waiting for the final raids! "
The situation was in a state of upheaval. This calm could be said to be like a hurricane on the surface of the sea. As long as lightning struck together, turbid waves would surge to the heavens!
