Extraordinary Cultivation Continent

Zhou Xuemei heard what Zhang Chaofan said and immediately replied: "Since the three Supreme Elders agree, then we will send Supreme Elder Gao Xiaosong away." Zhang Chaofan said: "This matter is up to Zhong Ming and the others. The four of you can take charge. You stay, we still have some things to ask you." After hearing Zhang Chaofan's words, Zhong Ming took the initiative to lead the other three, grabbed Gao Xiaosong's limbs, and carried him down the mountain.

Zhou Xuemei followed Zhang Chaofan and the others back to the cave and sat down in the hall. Zhang Chaofan said: "Elder Zhou, you have lived in Lingyun Sect for a long time. You should be familiar with the internal situation of the sect and be able to provide advice." Can we introduce it in detail?" Zhou Xuemei hurriedly said: "Reporting to Elder Zhang, I have been in Lingyun Sect for almost five or six years, and now I have benefited from the favor of three Supreme Elders, and I am already an inner sect elder. , although we don’t know much, we still know the general situation. Only the ancestor of Lingyun Sect is the Hedao Venerable in the Tribulation Realm. The members of the Taishang Presbyterian Council are all at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm. Sect Leader Ye It is also the pinnacle of the Divine Transformation Realm; the members of the Presbyterian Council are all the chief elders of each church, and they are all in the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. Generally, one can only become an inner elder in the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. Now that I am in the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, I can Becoming an inner sect elder is a special case and is used outside the rules. There are a total of ten supreme elders in the Taishang Presbyterian Church, who are the real decision-makers of Lingyun Sect. They are divided into two factions. The core figure of one faction is a law enforcement officer. The Supreme Elder Yue Wanshan of the Tang Hall, this faction takes a hard line; the soul figure of the other faction is the Supreme Elder Wu Yundan who was born in the Dan Hall. Relatively speaking, this faction has a milder style of conduct. Generally speaking, when making decisions within the sect, the Supreme Elder Yue Wanshan The Yue sect, headed by the elder, usually has the upper hand, because this sect has more people, six people in total. The ancestor is the final decision-maker, but the ancestor usually tries to balance the interests of the two factions and maintain There is stability and unity within the sect.”

After listening to Zhou Xuemei's brief introduction, Zhang Chaofan had a general understanding of the senior leaders of the Lingyun Sect. Anyway, Zhang Chaofan and the other three were just the supreme ministers of the Lingyun Sect. They did not need to participate in decision-making. Even if they participated in the meeting, they could only be considered as non-voting participants. This also avoids participating in the competition for interests within the sect and will save them a lot of trouble.

For more than two months that followed, Zhang Chaofan and the other three spent their time in Lingyun Sect in an ordinary way, with almost no disturbances in their cultivation life. Lingyun Sect also fulfilled its promise of treatment to Zhang Chaofan and the other three, and the two parties lived in harmony. On this day, Zhou Xuemei came to Zhang Chaofan's cave and informed Zhang Chaofan and the others: "The three supreme ministers are offering salary to the elders. Master Ye has invited them." Zhang Chaofan and the others just asked a few words casually and followed Zhou Xuemei. Arrive at the main hall of the sect to meet Sect Leader Ye. After the two parties had finished the ceremony, Sect Leader Ye said to Zhang Chaofan: "Three Supreme Enshrined Elders, our sect has a spiritual stone mine far away from the headquarters, which is often invaded by unknown people. Our Sect Master would like to ask the three Supreme Enshrined Elders to work hard. Let’s go to help the sect find out the cause and solve this trouble.” Zhang Chaofan said: “Thanks to the sect master for looking up to the three of us and giving us the opportunity to contribute to the sect, we are happy to go and solve this matter. It’s just that we and the three of us People are used to traveling together, I just ask the sect master to let the three of us go together."

Sect Leader Ye said: "Of course there is no problem with this. Moreover, if the three of them act together, if they encounter a strong opponent, they will have to take care of each other, which will make it much safer. Please ask the three elders to prepare today and tomorrow Early in the morning, this sect leader will send someone to lead you three to the spirit stone mine." Zhang Chaofan promised in person, and then the three of them said goodbye together and returned to the cave where Zhang Chaofan lived. After returning to the cave, Zhang Chaofan took out three high-level protective array disks from the ring on his body, handed one to each of Lin Xiaoyun and Bai Qilin, and asked them to arrange it in the other two caves where they lived to avoid the three of them. After going out, someone entered the three caves where they lived. After Lin Xiaoyun and Bai Qilin left together, Zhang Chaofan also placed protective array disks at the gate of his cave and arranged advanced protective arrays.

At dawn the next day, Zhou Xuemei led an elder who had returned from the mine to the outside of Zhang Chaofan's cave. After Zhou Xuemei informed Zhang Chaofan through voice transmission, Zhang Chaofan, Lin Xiaoyun and Bai Qilin immediately appeared in front of Zhou Xuemei. Zhou Xuemei asked Zhang Chaofan and the others: "Excuse me, the three princes, do Zhong Ming and the four of them also want to go together?" Zhang Chaofan thought for a while and asked Zhou Xuemei: "Elder Zhou, do you think the four of them should go together?" Shouldn't we go together?" Zhou Xuemei said: "If they go together, then the four of them will also get some mission points. If they don't go, then they will have more time to practice in peace, whether they go or not. , all have advantages and disadvantages. Whether to go or not depends on the decision of the three of you." Zhang Chaofan said casually: "Then do whatever is beneficial to them. You can ask the four of them about their wishes. "Zhou Xuemei said: "Mrs. Zhang, I suggest that we let them go together. With the three of you together, there will be no danger and the points will be easily earned. I don't think there is any need to consider the four of them's own ideas." Zhang Chaofan said: "In that case, let's do as you say, and then tell them to go on the road together." Zhou Xuemei immediately took out the messenger talisman and notified Zhong Ming and the four to come.

After a while, Zhong Ming and the others arrived in front of Zhang Chaofan's cave. When Zhang Chaofan saw that everyone had arrived, Zhang Chaofan said, "Let's go." The nine people flew into the low sky in the predetermined direction and flew towards the outside of the sect. They were flying when a small group of people suddenly appeared in the air and blocked their way. The leader asked them loudly and unkindly: "Who are you? How dare you fly within the sect? Don't you know that it is prohibited within the sect?" Flying?"

Zhou Xuemei hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Brothers from the law enforcement team, there is something going on in the sect's Lingshi mine. We and the three newly promoted elders, following the order of the sect master, rushed to provide support. The matter is urgent. In order to To save time, I had to fly at a low altitude. I hope it will be convenient for the brothers of the law enforcement team." The captain of the law enforcement team said: "The sect has regulations and no one can fly within the sect. If you want to fly within the sect, , you must have a warrant from the suzerain."

Zhang Chaofan said: "Maybe the sect master forgot to give us the support. I hope your law enforcement team will not be too rigid. If you come back to pester us again, make a fuss out of a molehill, and persist in your efforts, causing heavy losses to the sect's spirit stone mine, So can you shoulder this responsibility?" After hearing this, the captain of the law enforcement team was still pondering. Bai Qilin said impatiently: "You members of the law enforcement team, if you are trembling here anymore, Xiao Jin I'm going to kill you. Get out of here! Get out of here quickly!" The captain of the law enforcement team wanted to say something else, but Bai Qilin glanced at him with a stern look, which made him suddenly feel chilled, and he quickly put his hand away. With a wave, the team members immediately stepped aside and got out of the way.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chaofan and his group of nine people did not say much to them, and immediately passed by the law enforcement team, still flying out of Lingyun Sect, and continued flying towards the spirit stone mine. After flying about a thousand miles to the east under the sun, the group came to a large mountain. This was a bare stone mountain. Halfway up the stone mountain, there were many large and small mines. Zhang Chaofan and the other two knew that they had arrived at their destination.

The elder who led the way pointed to the mine and introduced Zhang Chaofan and the others: "Three Supreme Elders, this is our sect's Lingshi Mine. Originally, this Lingshi Mine could produce one billion Lingshi every day, but recently, For unknown reasons, the disciples of the sect who mined ores here mysteriously disappeared one after another. The sect sent people to investigate the cause many times, but no results were obtained. Later, there were fewer and fewer disciples mining spiritual stones in the mines. , the sect had no choice but to send some skilled disciples to serve as laborers for mining the spirit stones. However, the good times did not last long. Soon, the miners disappeared again, and everything would remain the same. Now, the disciples responsible for mining have all evacuated one after another. We will not come back until the problem is solved. Our mission here is to find out the reasons for the missing people and solve the problem of missing people so that the sect can send people to mine the ore in the future."

It's noon now, but the gas emanating from those mines blows onto people's bodies, making them feel cold all over. Zhang Chaofan felt in his heart that things would not be too simple. If he wanted to successfully solve the missing persons, it might still take some effort. Zhang Chaofan asked the guiding elder to lead everyone to the location of the mining department. The guiding elder agreed and led everyone to the foot of the mine mountain. The guiding elder pressed a token against the guarding formation. There was a sign on the guarding formation that only allowed one person to pass. A group of nine people passed through the small door one by one. After all nine people passed through, the small door automatically disappeared and the protective formation returned to its original state.

When everyone came to the mine management courtyard, they heard someone arriving. Two people wearing Lingyun Sect clothes walked out of the courtyard. Both of them were not very trim and looked slovenly. They looked like they had been there for a long time. They didn't even clean up after themselves. When the guiding elder saw these two people, he saluted quickly and said: "Two chief elders, now the sect has sent three supreme worship elders to support us. We want to solve the problem of missing persons as soon as possible and resume mining." Those two people I heard that I hurried over to meet Zhang Chaofan and the others. However, I saw that the three Zhang Chaofan were not very old. They were just two young men and women in their late teens and early twenties, and there was also a teenager in his late teens. As a young girl, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little contempt in their hearts, and their attitude towards Zhang Chaofan and the other two people also changed, and they were no longer as respectful as they had shown before. When Zhang Chaofan saw the changes in their attitudes before and after, he didn't want to point them out, he just knew it.

The two chief elders let the group into the courtyard and sat down in the hall. One of the two left-behind elders said: "Old Ning Changshun, this is Ning Changsheng, and we are two brothers. After the accident in the mine, the two of us were arranged by the sect to stay here. Now that we are fine, the sect The three supreme elders of the sect have come to solve the problem. I think success is just around the corner. I wish the three supreme elders success."

Zhang Chaofan said: "Two elders Ning, we are all working for the sect. I hope everyone can cooperate sincerely and strive to solve the problem of missing people in the mine as soon as possible. Please introduce in detail what you already know." Elder Ning Changshun Said: "Of course, it's just that we don't know much about the situation. It's possible that our understanding is also wrong, and we may have misled the three supreme elders. If unfortunately, we are right, please ask the three supreme elders." Don't blame me, the elder." Zhang Chaofan replied: "You just need to tell the truth about what you know. If it is inconsistent with the facts, we will naturally be able to identify it."

Ning Changshun said: "Okay, then I will tell the three of you what I know, hoping to be able to help the three supreme ministers and elders. After my brother Ning Changsheng and I became inner disciples, we were sent here This mine was managed by the elders at that time and mined spiritual stones. It was safe and smooth for the past ten years, and a large number of spiritual stones could be collected for the sect every day. However, just three years ago, this mine It is not very peaceful. Every once in a while, the disciples who mine ore here will fight and attack each other for no reason. They will not stop until both sides are injured. And after the attack and fight, the injured people will disappear inexplicably. This It seriously affected the mining of the spirit stone mine. In order to maintain the mining of the mine, the sect had to send disciples to the mine in batches to rotate and replenish it. However, it would not be long before the attacks and fights between each other would happen again. . The sect sent high-level personnel many times to find out the reason, so they had to suspend the mining of this spiritual stone mine half a year ago, leaving the two of us to stay here. Due to the suspension of mining in this mine, the sect’s spiritual stone mine was destroyed. There is a shortage of stones and financial constraints. Even the monthly salary of the sect disciples cannot be paid in full, which has greatly affected the development of the sect. These are the situations we know. The rest can only be understood by the three elders who provide the salary themselves. ”

Zhang Chaofan asked: "Two elders, when do these people usually attack each other?" This time, Ning Changshun did not speak, but Ning Changsheng said: "This time is very uncertain, every time It happens at different times. Sometimes it happens during the day, and sometimes it happens at night. There is no rule at this time." Zhang Chaofan just said softly and fell into deep thought. Everyone saw Zhang Chaofan thinking and didn't want to disturb his thoughts, so they all remained silent and waited aside.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Chaofan woke up from his meditation. However, although he thought about it, he could not figure out any clues. He just made a decision, that is, he just arrived today, so everyone should take care of themselves first. Let's take a rest and go into the mine tomorrow to slowly understand the situation. Through some first-hand information, we can find out the real cause of the matter and then come up with a solution. After he told Lin Xiaoyun, Bai Qilin and others about his plan, they all agreed. Under the arrangement of the two left-behind elders Ning, everyone dispersed to different rooms to rest.

Can Zhang Chaofan successfully find the reason for what happened in the Lingshi Mine? After finding the cause, can they successfully solve the problem?

If you want to know what happened next, the next chapter will be more exciting.
