Lonely Immortal

Zhang Zhiwen also looked with everyone and picked up some things, but they were basically useless. These Taoist secrets were all post-heavenly Taoists. There were few offensive Taoists, but more defensive Taoists and auxiliary Taoists. It was almost the same as Zhang Zhiwen getting a few Taoists.

However, some of the Taoists Zhang Zhiwen had obtained before were actually very poor. They were only useful for cultivators in the foundation-building stage. They were more like the Taoist secrets of the transitional stage. For example, the Taoist arts of thunder were actually not very useful. For example, the Taoist arts of petrification, or the Taoist arts of reversing the heaven and earth, or the Taoist arts of spell penetration, these were almost useless.

"One carrot, one pit. You can't chew too much. Everyone chooses a suitable Taoist art to practice first. Otherwise, if this Taoist art is covered later, you have to start adapting again."

Fang Silin did not pick up the things, but said earnestly.

Everyone was slightly stunned. There is such a saying about this Taoist art?

"Think about it, can you just learn a Taoist technique? Don't you need to practice? When you are almost proficient in it, and then change to another Taoist technique and start practicing again, isn't this a waste of time?"

Fang Silin said this, and everyone felt that it made sense. In this way, everyone began to choose carefully. Some people also got the secrets of Taoist techniques before coming here, and even offensive Taoist techniques, so there was actually no need for him to change to other Taoist techniques.

Zhang Zhiwen looked at the secret book of Taoist techniques in his hand. He could practice it. He could practice nine Taoist techniques, and the secrets of Taoist techniques in his hand included offensive Taoist techniques, defensive Taoist techniques, and auxiliary Taoist techniques. Except for the regeneration Taoist technique, Zhang Zhiwen planned to eliminate the rest of the Taoist techniques, including the Yuanshen Devouring Taoist Technique, because this Taoist technique was only aimed at foundation-building cultivators, and it was almost impossible to deal with Jindan cultivators.

He now has a wind sword technique in his hand, which is a real attack technique. Although it is only a post-heavenly grade technique, it is better than nothing. In addition, there are four auxiliary techniques, namely strengthening the power of the technique, strengthening the physical strength, strengthening the cultivation power and strengthening the power of the soul. These four auxiliary techniques are almost common goods. They are everywhere here and everyone has them.

But Zhang Zhiwen can practice them all at once. As for Fang Silin's saying that the technique needs to be practiced to be proficient, he doesn't understand it a little, because he doesn't seem to need it. It seems that the essence of the technique is integrated into instinct immediately after learning it.

In addition, Zhang Zhiwen also has the regeneration technique and another defensive technique. This defensive technique is the diamond shield technique, which is also equivalent to a very common technique. There are many here, nothing special.

"Hey, Brother Zhiwen, what are you doing with so many Taoist secret books?" Liao Qing was quite surprised to see Zhang Zhiwen take so many Taoist secret books. Others also looked at Zhang Zhiwen, and everyone's eyes showed a playful look. They probably thought that Zhang Zhiwen was too careless and picked up a lot of them, and then didn't know which Taoist art to practice.

"Hey, Brother Zhiwen, you don't think you can practice them all, do you?"

"Brother Zhiwen must know that it's impossible, but seeing so many Taoist secret books, he must be reluctant to give up. It's the same for me. It was not easy for us to get these Taoist secret books before. Now they are at our fingertips, so we are naturally very excited."

"That's true, haha, but Brother Zhiwen, I think you might as well choose the Wind Sword Taoist Art. At least it's an attack-type Taoist art, which is not bad."

...

Everyone teased Zhang Zhiwen, thinking that Zhang Zhiwen didn't know how to choose. Zhang Zhiwen nodded and didn't refute anything, but he still collected all the Taoist secret books.

Of course, no one said anything after seeing this scene, Fang Silin came out and said: "Don't rush to practice Taoism, it still takes a lot of time to practice. The most urgent thing now is to find the mining point."

"Yes, Brother Silin is right, what should we do now?" Liao Qing also put away the secret book of Taoism, and was not in a hurry to practice.

"This mine is very complicated, there are many mine tunnels, and I have never been here, so what I mean is that everyone will temporarily separate here, each person will explore a mine tunnel, and then when the next fork appears, turn back, and then meet here, and then we will decide which fork to go. What do you think?"

"This is a good idea, so we can save more time, otherwise if we all go to the end of the same road, it will be a waste of time, and the scope of exploration will be too small." Liao Qing agreed very much, but some people raised some doubts.

"But if we separate, will it be dangerous?"

"Yes, if we walk alone, what if we encounter an enemy?"

"Also, what if we don't know where to turn back when we are walking?"

...

Everyone had questions, Fang Silin nodded, and then explained to everyone.

"There are many mine tunnels, and they are very complicated. We certainly can't all take one road, but we can't completely separate, that would be very dangerous. Let's separate first, agree on a time, walk forward for a while, and then everyone will come back here to meet up, see the situation clearly, and then we will decide which mine tunnel to take!"

After Fang Silin said this, everyone had no objection. Everyone agreed on a time of one stick of incense. When the time is up, no matter if there is any discovery, we must come back here anyway.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't say anything, because he already felt that this method was not feasible. If someone was lucky enough to find a mineral point after going in for a while, who would be willing to share it? That is to directly record it and then hand in the task. Anyway, no one in this kind of team has any friendship with anyone.

The best way is actually for everyone to walk together, and then when they encounter a mineral point, everyone can share it together. If they encounter an enemy, they can also fight together. But these people raised this doubt before, but why did everyone feel that later? Is it better to separate?

This has to be said that people are selfish. If so many people come together, when the mineral spots are discovered, how will they be divided? No one else is happy to share it with anyone.

And everyone feels that they can survive here. Anyway, if they encounter a strong team or monk, they can run away, and then use everyone's strength to explore more places. That way, the chance will be greater, and the task can be completed faster. , this is equivalent to taking a shortcut, which is indeed much faster than walking together.

But the only way for everyone to go together is to be safe and step by step, but no one is willing, and everyone wants to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

In this case, Zhang Zhiwen couldn't say much, so everyone separated at this place. There were indeed many mine crossings in front of them. I don't know how many years of excavation there had been. The mining crossings were densely packed and full of people. When you go in, it's basically like looking for a needle in a haystack, it's hard to find.

Zhang Zhiwen also randomly chose a mine tunnel and separated from the others. However, Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry. After he entered the mine tunnel, he walked for a while and stopped. He sat down to meditate and took out his Taoist skills. All secrets of secrets can be practiced directly.

The time of about one stick of incense passed quickly, and Zhang Zhiwen got up again and turned back. Zhang Zhiwen had no intention of walking very far, because this kind of mine is densely packed with tunnels and has been excavated all year round. It was almost an idiot's dream to discover the mine in time. He believed that the same was true for others, so he returned directly to the entrance of the mine.

One after another, everyone seemed to have returned, but Zhang Zhiwen keenly noticed that there were fewer people, about one-third less, which meant that there were three or four people here who had not returned.

"How's it going?" Fang Silin asked about everyone's situation when he came. He didn't mention the lack of people. Obviously, it wasn't that he didn't notice that there were fewer people, but it was something he expected. Everyone was the same. In this place, you will encounter various situations, such as enemy attacks, joining other teams, etc.

"I didn't find anything there, and I didn't see any forks in the road," Liao Qing said.

Liao Qing's words seemed to represent everyone's opinions. Others were obviously in the same situation. In other words, everyone walked separately for a while and found nothing.

"It's okay, let's try again." Fang Silin still insisted on leaving separately. When everyone saw this, they didn't say much and started to separate.

But Zhang Zhiwen saw that these people were starting to think about leaving the team, because they also saw that this was Fang Silin's intention. Fang Silin planned to let everyone find the way for him, and for some reason, Fang Silin insisted on letting everyone find the fork. position, which means that if this bifurcation appears, it is possible to find a mine behind it.

Therefore, Fang Silin is not a good person, and his initial enthusiasm for everyone was not without any intention. Everything else is just an excuse, but this is normal. People are selfish and understandable.

In this way, everyone separated again. Zhang Zhiwen randomly chose a mine tunnel and drilled in. Then he walked forward. This time, he planned to go straight forward. He didn't plan to go back. What was he going to do? There will definitely not be many people left when we go back.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen kept walking forward this time. After walking for about half an hour, Zhang Zhiwen finally saw a fork in front of him. When he came to the fork, Zhang Zhiwen saw another branch in front of the fork. There were many mine tunnels. Looking back, there were also many mine tunnel entrances. At this time, there was movement from some other mine tunnel entrances. Not long after, someone appeared.

This person was none other than Liao Qing. Liao Qing looked a little panicked. He ran out of the mine tunnel and looked back from time to time. Moreover, he was in tatters. It looked like he had been attacked. As soon as Liao Qing appeared, he He also found Zhang Zhiwen, and he felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He rushed in front of Zhang Zhiwen, and then grabbed Zhang Zhiwen's hand. He said urgently: "Brother Zhiwen, run quickly, someone is chasing you from behind."

Zhang Zhiwen was also shocked when he heard this, but at this time, some people rushed out from other mine crossings. After these people appeared here, they saw Zhang Zhiwen and Liao Qing here. They were slightly startled, but soon, There was greed in their eyes, and then they surrounded Zhang Zhiwen and Liao Qing.

But soon, Zhang Zhiwen discovered that there was actually one of his previous teammates here, and this person also clearly recognized Zhang Zhiwen and Liao Qing. He couldn't help shouting: "Boss, I know these, let me tell you After all, they are my former teammates. They are all new and have nothing.”

As soon as these words came out, one of the monks in the team was obviously a little surprised. This monk was their captain. There were six of them in total, and this monk was in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation. I don’t know how this teammate joined the team before, but It looked like his words had an effect.

"So that's how it is. Then do you want to join my team?" asked the Jindan mid-stage cultivator. He was not as polite as Fang Silin, but spoke in a condescending manner.

"Of course, of course!" Liao Qing was being chased and killed, and now he was in trouble again. Now someone wants him to be a younger brother, he is definitely willing.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't say much, just nodded and agreed to join. Anyway, let's join first and see. At this time, three cultivators ran out of the mine tunnel where Liao Qing just came out. These three cultivators were Jindan mid-stage cultivators. They formed a team and rushed over when they saw Liao Qing.

At this time, the two sides confronted each other directly.

"Daoyou, what's the matter?" The team leader narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party.

The other party was two men and one woman, all of whom were in their thirties. They looked at Liao Qing and said angrily: "Is this person yours?"

When they spoke, it seemed that they knew each other a little, but it was probably the kind of person they had met before, and they didn't even know their names, but the other party was obviously looking for Liao Qing to settle accounts.

"For the time being, what, did he offend you?" the captain asked back.

Obviously, he didn't want to offend the three mid-stage Jindan cultivators. Even though he was also a mid-stage Jindan cultivator and had several subordinates, he would not win if they really fought. However, the other party was obviously a little afraid and did not dare to act rashly.

One of the male cultivators with a bald head said, "He just picked up a Taoist secret book, which is a post-natal top-grade Taoist secret book, and we found this secret book first!"

As soon as the male cultivator spoke, everyone was very surprised and surprised, because it was not easy to pick up a post-natal top-grade Taoist secret in this place.

"It's not just a post-natal top-grade Taoist secret, it's also an offensive Taoist secret. Let him hand it over, then we'll let it go!"

The female cultivator also shouted, obviously, this was for the Taoist secret book.

Zhang Zhiwen was also a little surprised. Liao Qing was so lucky? He got a post-natal top-grade Taoist secret book in one go? I don't know how he got it.

"No, boss, listen to me, it's not like that, I didn't get it, I just passed by that place and saw a dead person, and then I wanted to go over to see what happened..."

Liao Qing began to explain, and it seemed that he didn't want to lie at all. At this time, the team leader here was also a little surprised, and his teammates were also surprised. After hearing this, the three people on the other side were furious.

"Bullshit! If you didn't take it, then who took it?"

"You know, we chased him for three days and three nights, and finally found his body, and you actually ran out to snatch it!"

"You still don't admit it now, right? You are looking for death!"

Three Jindan mid-stage cultivators chased others for three days and three nights for the secret book, and someone intercepted them halfway, which would indeed make them angry, but Liao Qing really didn't seem to get any secret books, and now both sides were in a dead end.
