The Qingfeng Sect's spirit stone mine was located in a remote mountain.
The scenery was quite pleasant, surrounded by green hills and clear waters, and there were many monsters with shallow intelligence in the forest.
Whether it was to prevent miners from escaping or to prevent monsters from attacking,
A simple maze array was also set up around the mine. It would be extremely difficult for cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage to leave the mine surrounded by the array on their own.
According to Li Xingtian, most of the people who mined here were cultivators with extremely poor qualifications.
The Qingfeng Sect found these people from various remote villages and poor rural areas.
First, these people were unlikely to have a big background and would not provoke people they couldn't afford to provoke.
Second, even if people couldn't go back, they wouldn't be questioned.
As long as they had a little bit of spiritual roots, no matter how mixed they were, they would be taken away.
Then, they would forcibly refine their Qi to the second or third level with a medicinal bath that burned their potential, and they would be directly thrown into the mine to mine until they died.
So, the Qingfeng Sect was probably wearing the skin of a righteous sect, but actually doing the things of a heretical cultivator.
After all, how could this kind of thing be hidden from the Qingfeng Sect's Sect Master and a series of high-level officials?
Chu Xingchen carefully bypassed the area where the disciples patrolled at the main entrance.
Climbing up from a cliff on one side, trying to conceal his aura as much as possible, Chu Xingchen slowly observed the situation in the mine below.
Several simple large wooden houses were arranged in a messy and irregular manner, but at the highest point, there was a delicate building where disciples in Qingfeng Sect attire could be seen.
There were not many people, two men and one woman.
If he didn't use his divine sense to scan, he wouldn't be able to detect their realm cultivation, then the cultivation of this group of Qingfeng Sect disciples should be in the Foundation Establishment stage.
After the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators could easily control the spiritual energy and hide it in their bodies, no longer revealing it.
If he didn't use his divine sense to scan, he couldn't tell the Golden Core realm with the naked eye alone.
At this moment, it was the time for digging during the day, and there were often violent noises in the mine.
From time to time, there were Qi refining cultivators in ragged clothes using simple carts to transport the mined spirit stone ore.
The cultivation of this group of mining cultivators was indeed not high. The detection results were only the second or third level of Qi refining.
Watching them transport cart after cart of spirit stone ore to a processing shed.
Several Qi refining cultivators wielding large hammers were vigorously hammering the stones, separating the gangue and spirit stones.
The Qingfeng Sect disciples leaned against the fence in front of them, looking at the group of miners with a playful expression.
Chu Xingchen swept his eyes over and quickly locked onto a building that looked like a warehouse. It occupied a large area, but strangely, there were no guards around.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
According to what Li Xingtian said, the Golden Core cultivator was probably sitting in it.
A strong attack was definitely not a wise move. This place was very likely to have means to contact the sect.
Either win quickly or lure them out.
However, this time he came only to explore the specific situation and had no intention of making a move.
Chu Xingchen took out paper and pen from his space ring and quickly drew a rough sketch, comparing the route and the approximate buildings.
He would take the sketch back to discuss it carefully with Li Xingtian to see what the specific situation was.
Putting the sketch back into the space ring after finishing it, he was about to leave when a person entered his vigilant divine sense range.
A long sword suddenly appeared in Chu Xingchen's hand, and his divine sense quickly scanned over.
But he found that the person who had entered his divine sense was just a mortal without any cultivation.
What's the situation?
Chu Xingchen concealed his aura and carefully probed towards the direction of the person who came.
Soon, Chu Xingchen saw the person who had entered his divine sense.
It was a small, very thin girl wearing ragged linen clothes, covered in mud, and her dry long hair was tangled into a ball.
Her face was dirty, but her eyes were very bright.
So Chu Xingchen could clearly observe that her expression was very dazed and at a loss, and she looked around with a slightly flustered expression.
Chu Xingchen kept watching her walk in a certain direction with difficulty, and then unconsciously circled back to the starting point.
Was this? Trapped in a maze?
Did she accidentally enter it, or was there something else going on?
Chu Xingchen chose to use the system to look at her attribute panel.
ãNing Qianqianã
ãCultivation: Noneã
ãBlue Entry: Perseveranceã
ãBlue Entry: Loyal and Righteousã
ãWhite Entry: Cleverã
ãDoes not meet the conditions for accepting disciplesã
There were Qingfeng Sect disciples patrolling the mountains nearby, and it seemed that the thin girl in front of him was definitely not with them.
She was most likely someone who had escaped from the mine.
Probably like Li Xingtian, she was also tricked by the Qingfeng Sect to mine.
After thinking for a while, Chu Xingchen decided to take her away first, he might be able to get some useful information out of her.
He took out a mask to cover his face.
He reached out and directly grabbed the little girl in front of him and quickly left with earth escape.
----------------
"Great Immortal! Immortal!"
Ning Qianqian, who was tied to the tree, cried bitterly and said, "I really just got lost."
As she said that, Ning Qianqian secretly raised her eyes to look at the person who had tied her up.
At this moment, he was wearing a demon mask, and his eyes were staring at her very coldly.
Sure enough, the Qingfeng Sect was not right!
Her father must have been tricked by that group of immortals from the Qingfeng Sect.
Chu Xingchen looked at Ning Qianqian speechlessly. If he could, he wouldn't want to tie her to a tree.
It was just that this girl was too uncooperative.
She spat, rolled around, and pretended to be crazy.
If he hadn't seen through her, she would probably still be pretending to be demented.
Chu Xingchen said unhappily, "Stop crying, I'm not from the Qingfeng Sect."
Ning Qianqian still howled:
"Great Immortal, I don't know anything about the Qingfeng Sect! I'm really just a lost person."
Chu Xingchen didn't continue to speak, but took out a big pancake from the space ring, and then stuffed it into her mouth under Ning Qianqian's terrified gaze.
"Looking at you like a thin hemp pole, how long have you not eaten?"
Ning Qianqian quickly shook her head to refuse, afraid that this pancake had some immortal means.
But when the soft pancake crumbs entered her mouth, Ning Qianqian, who had been hungry for several days, gave up struggling.
She started to gnaw on the pancake without any politeness.
Anyway, she probably couldn't escape the immortal in front of her this time, so she had to be a full ghost before she died!
Father! Danzi is useless! She couldn't save you and she was going to die first.
Looking at Ning Qianqian, who was frantically gnawing on the pancake, Chu Xingchen silently took back the rope and took out a water bottle and handed it to Ning Danzi.
At this moment, Ning Qianqian was quite self-deprecating and didn't care so much, drinking it all with a smile.
A big pancake was quickly finished with the water.
Then, Ning Qianqian looked over expectantly again.
Chu Xingchen sighed, "You can't eat too much at once if you haven't eaten for too long."
However, Ning Qianqian obviously didn't believe this, giving him a look that the immortal was stingy with a pancake.
However, Chu Xingchen didn't explain too much, but continued to ask, "What are you doing here? Are you someone who escaped from the mine?"
Ning Qianqian looked at the masked man in front of her timidly and answered timidly:
"...I, I really got lost."
Chu Xingchen stared at Ning Qianqian in front of him carefully for a while, then didn't continue to ask, but took out some broken silver and pancakes from the space ring.
He handed all these things to Ning Qianqian and then pointed a direction for Ning Qianqian:
"I won't ask more if you don't want to say, you go straight in this direction. There is a nearby town there. It's dangerous here, don't get close to this place in the future."
Ning Qianqian looked at the things that were stuffed into her arms in surprise, then she looked up.
She saw Chu Xingchen turning around and leaving without saying a word.
She couldn't help but shout:
"Great Immortal, wait!"
