Chapter 215 The best spiritual stone
On this day, Ye Xiaobai was practicing his sword technique.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaobai received a telepathic message outside the cave. Upon hearing it, he realized that it was Sect Master Mu Beifeng who had come in person.
The matter was of great importance, so Sect Master Mu Beifeng came directly to Ye Xiaobai's cave. Several other Core Formation stage cultivators from the White Tiger Sect were also with him.
"Junior Brother Ye, you seem quite relaxed. A major incident has occurred within the sect, and we need your help!"
Mu Beifeng said with a serious expression.
"Senior Brother Mu, what happened?" Ye Xiaobai asked with a puzzled look.
"Top-grade spirit stones have been discovered in the spirit vein mine of Liuyun Mountain near Liuyun Market. We need manpower to handle the situation!"
"It's actually a top-grade spirit stone!" Ye Xiaobai was shocked upon hearing this, never expecting to finally encounter news of a top-grade spirit stone.
"Yes, top-grade spirit stones are extremely important to our sect! In order to ensure that this top-grade spirit stone is safely delivered back to the sect, we need a few of you to go and meet it quickly!"
"The elders and disciples from the Liuyun Mountain spiritual vein have already been sent back. Is it still necessary for us to help them?" Ye Xiaobai asked, slightly puzzled. Could it be that the news of the discovery of the top-grade spirit stones had been leaked?
Mu Beifeng looked at Ye Xiaobai's puzzled eyes and said, "It's just as you think. There's a traitor within the sect who leaked the information, and several nearby sects will definitely send people to secretly seize this top-grade spirit stone!"
"Top-grade spirit stones contain vast amounts of pure spiritual energy, which can be helpful for cultivators to break through bottlenecks, even those breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage! Therefore, nearby sects will definitely disregard all pretense of righteousness and try to seize them!"
"Perhaps some independent cultivators have also received the news!"
"Therefore, Junior Brother Ye, you need to set off as soon as possible!" Mu Beifeng said urgently.
"Senior Brother Mu, I'll set off right away and guarantee to bring back top-grade spirit stones safely!" Ye Xiaobai said firmly.
Afterwards, Ye Xiaobai set off with several Core Formation stage elders from the White Tiger Sect.
The spiritual veins of Liuyun Mountain are about 5,000 miles away from the White Tiger Sect. It takes seven days for Foundation Establishment disciples to return, while Core Formation cultivators only need three days.
According to Mu Beifeng, there were no Core Formation stage cultivators stationed at Liuyun Mountain's spiritual vein. The one carrying the top-grade spirit stones was Guo Changqing, an outer sect elder in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage who was stationed there.
The strength of someone in the mid-Foundation stage is indeed not high, and if they encounter any unexpected events, it will be difficult to keep their top-grade spirit stones.
Upon realizing this, Ye Xiaobai and the others immediately increased their speed and flew rapidly towards the direction of the Liuyun Mountain spiritual vein.
……
the other side.
Inner Sect Elder Huang Pengfei and Outer Sect Elder Guo Changqing, carrying top-grade spirit stones, are hurrying back to the sect.
Both of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and their escape speed was limited.
Huang Pengfei wasn't originally stationed at the Liuyun Mountain spiritual vein; he was just passing through the Liuyun Mountain market when he happened to come across the matter of the top-grade spirit stones.
So the two of them set out together.
"Elder Guo, do you think we can return to the sect smoothly?" Huang Pengfei asked with a serious expression.
"Hard to say! Humph, I'm impressed! I wonder which bastard leaked the information! Otherwise, we would have definitely gone back quietly!" Guo Changqing complained helplessly.
"The mole hasn't been identified yet?" Huang Pengfei asked in surprise.
"Not many people know the news, and the investigation is still ongoing. I'm busy returning to the sect and don't have much time to continue the investigation, so I can only let the people from the spiritual veins continue the investigation," Guo Changqing explained.
"We can only return to the sect as soon as possible! It is said that the sect has sent a Core Formation stage elder to meet us. I hope everything goes smoothly!" Huang Pengfei said calmly.
Another day passed, and Guo Changqing and his companion were hiding in a grove of trees to recover their strength.
The uninvited guest still appeared.
Three Core Formation stage cultivators appeared above the two, one woman and two men. The female cultivator leading them had already reached the mid-Core Formation stage.
The remaining two male cultivators had also reached the early stage of Core Formation.
"That female cultivator was indeed stunningly beautiful, especially her captivating eyes!" Guo Changqing exclaimed.
"When did you start looking at pretty girls?! Do you even want to live anymore?"
Huang Pengfei shouted.
Guo Changqing had average talent and cultivated diligently for decades, finally reaching the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and securing the position of an outer sect elder.
He was also quite ignorant, as such a charming and beautiful fairy was extremely rare, and thus, he was momentarily mesmerized by her beauty.
"Forehead……"
Upon hearing Huang Pengfei's reprimand, Guo Changqing immediately returned to normal.
"Did you two come from the direction of Liuyun Mountain?" the female cultivator asked.
"No!" Huang Pengfei firmly denied.
"Yes!" Guo Changqing immediately acknowledged upon hearing the fairy's melodious voice.
After saying that, the two of them immediately felt uneasy.
Upon hearing their answers, the female cultivator smiled slightly, instantly understanding everything, and said, "Fellow Daoists, there's no need to say more. It's like this, we had a treasure that was stolen near the spiritual veins of Liuyun Mountain!"
"We would appreciate it if you two could take out your storage bags so we can inspect them. If everything is in order, you may leave!"
“My lady, we don’t have the treasure you’re talking about. Please let me leave!” Huang Pengfei explained.
"You can leave! Just let me check and make sure there are no lost treasures, then you two can leave!" the female cultivator said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, are you trying to rob us outright? This is the territory of the White Tiger Sect. Aren't you afraid of offending them?"
Huang Pengfei sensed that his opponent was quite strong and that he would likely lose in a direct confrontation. He could only rack his brains to figure out what to do next.
"Senior Sister Bai, stop wasting time talking to them. That thing is of great importance and should be in their hands. Let's just take action!"
A male cultivator standing next to the woman immediately spoke up to offer advice.
Upon hearing this, Huang Pengfei and Guo Changqing felt a chill run down their spines; they were likely doomed. They had no choice but to unleash their powerful magic weapons and launch a desperate attack.
The woman looked at the situation and sighed, saying helplessly, "I didn't want to resort to violence, but no one was willing to cooperate. Now I have no choice but to take action!"
Three against two, and it's a Core Formation stage versus Foundation Establishment stage, that woman will definitely resolve the issue very quickly.
Just then, another group of people appeared, consisting of three men and one woman, but only two of them were Core Formation stage cultivators.
The leading male cultivator, of medium build and with a cultivation level of only the early stage of Core Formation, immediately disrupted the current situation upon his appearance.
"Fellow Daoist Bai Meisheng of the Vermilion Bird Sect, it's a bit unreasonable for you to bully a junior from the White Tiger Sect here!" the middle-aged man who had just appeared said calmly.
Upon hearing the sound, Huang Pengfei breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis was not yet over, but there were signs of easing.
The one who had stopped Huang Pengfei and his companion earlier was a disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sect who had rushed over, led by Bai Meisheng.
Bai Meisheng looked closely and quickly recognized the middle-aged cultivator who had interrupted her good time, and immediately showed a helpless expression.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Yang Wen from the Yellow Dragon Sect. Your presence here suggests that you share the same goal as us, right?" Bai Meisheng's bright eyes sparkled, her alluring gaze captivating.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, put away your illusions. Let's have a real fight, and whoever wins gets to keep what they have!" Yang Wen said, taking out his natal magic weapon, a dark red longsword over four feet long—the Blood Slaughter Blade.
The moment the blood-stained blade was drawn, a surge of blood energy began to course through its surface, sending chills down one's spine.
The Vermilion Bird Sect disciples standing next to Bai Meisheng were already showing some fear, but Bai Meisheng herself remained very calm.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, this is putting me in a difficult position. I am not familiar with swords and spears, but I do know a little about illusions!" Bai Meisheng said with a charming smile.
"Alright, enough talk, let's have a spar!" Yang Wen didn't want to waste any more words and started fighting.
