Chapter 294 Test

Medicine stone is a special mineral that can be used to refine exotic fruit pills and realm pills.

Different rankings of Shushan branches have different medicine stone mining areas. The higher the ranking, the better the mine line in the mining area, and the more medicine stones can be produced.

Every year when entering the mining area, the first thing to do is to survey, that is, to see if the mine tunnel needs support and eliminate some safety hazards. After all, it has been ten years since each mining area was last used!

If it were the outside world, a mining area that used wood to support the mine tunnel and no one cared about it for ten years would definitely have become a dangerous mine, let alone mining ore. Even if you just go there, there may be a possibility of landslides.

However, many of the wood in Shuxu are not available in the outside world. Their wood is hard and rot-resistant beyond imagination. The traces left by ten years of time and environment are not particularly serious. Among the pit wood that needs to be replaced, only 20% are defeated by time.

If Gu Zheng did not have the prehistoric space, they would have to carry wood into the mining area. It was a rule to replace the broken pit wood in the mine tunnel. Whether they would mine in the mining area or not, they had to do so. This was also for the convenience of the younger generations when Shuxu opened next time.

Following the inclined mine tunnel, they walked down for a hundred meters. The air was turbid and humid. There was water seepage in some places, and occasionally they could hear the sound of "tick-tick-tick".

There were not many damaged pit wood in the mine tunnel. Due to the humid environment, many pit wood had fungi similar to wood ear growing on them. The colors were white and yellow, but they were all inedible.

The mine tunnel was very low, and everyone who was walking forward had to lower their heads slightly.

"Squeak, squeak..."

Zhang Tiancheng walked in front. The lantern in his hand swayed with his steps, making a regular sound of metal friction, which caused echoes.

The light in the lantern was white, illuminating a large area. The light source did not come from traditional kerosene, nor from the trendy LED, but from a stone called "Moonlight Stone" in the mining area.

The world of cultivators is very secretive and almost unknown to the world. Many things in their lives will not easily flow into the outside world, just like this stone that can be used as a light source. If it is placed in the outside world, it must be a gem. But in the world of cultivators, such things can be used, but it is strictly forbidden to circulate, otherwise it will break the rules.

The sound of the lantern shaking stopped, and Zhang Tiancheng pointed to a pit wood beside him: "There is one here that needs to be replaced."

Although the mine tunnel is low, it is not narrow, and three people can walk side by side. Gu Zheng came to Zhang Tiancheng and released a "iron oak" from the prehistoric space. Gu Zheng and Liu Ying also got busy immediately.

"It's really annoying, can't there be fewer damn bugs?"

Liu Ying took the pit wood removed by Gu An and looked at the wormholes on it with disdain. Twenty percent of the pit wood that needed to be replaced was defeated by the erosion of time, and the remaining 80% was defeated by insects.

"Huh?"

Liu Ying's words made Gu Zheng hear the word 'bug' again, and he couldn't help but think of the 'peach spirit bug' that he used to catch the earth spirit turtle yesterday, so he asked the spirit of the weapon to investigate, and he really found some problems.

There was not even a 'pit wood bug' in the whole worm-eaten pit wood!

"What did the master find?"

Seeing that Gu Zheng said nothing but walked forward with the lantern, Liu Ying asked curiously.

"Follow me, it's hard to say now." Gu Zheng answered without turning his head.

After walking down for a while, the inclined mine tunnel changed and began to have some forks. This is because it was not until more than 100 meters into the ground that the mine tunnel was finally hit on the medicine stone mine line, and the fork was formed by mining along the mine line.

Almost all the forks were dead ends, and the mine line they were chasing had been mined out. Gu Zheng compared the map and walked into the mine tunnel with the mine line extending, and the road gradually became wider.

Gu Zheng found a worm-eaten pit wood. After asking the spirit of the weapon to investigate, he learned that there was still no pit woodworm in the pit wood, and there was no worm hole or even worm corpse.

Gu Zheng's brows were slightly wrinkled. He was listening to the analysis of the spirit of the weapon.

After a while, Gu Zheng's brows relaxed and his expression was a little excited.

"We have encountered a treasure."

"Why did the master say that?"

Gu Zheng's sudden words made Gu An and the other two very curious.

"Speaking of encountering a treasure, we must first talk about this pit woodworm."

"In your opinion, the pit woodworm eats wood, but this is actually wrong. The pit woodworm eats the semi-living ore of medicinal stones. It just likes to live in the pit wood, and the pit woodworm is the first treasure we have encountered!"

Gu Zheng paused, and Liu Ying and the other two suddenly widened their eyes.

"Is this pit woodworm a treasure?"

Liu Ying couldn't help asking. After all, before entering Shuxu, Elder Wuchou also specifically explained that the pit woodworm inside the worm-eaten pit wood replaced in the mining area must be killed to prevent it from harming the mining area again. However, Elder Wuchou did not explain that the pit woodworm is a treasure! Not only him, I believe that the elders of other sects also told the disciples who entered the mining area in this way.

"The pit woodworm is indeed a treasure, but it must be specially processed before it can be used to make pills. And the "pure pill" made with it and high-level medicinal stones as the main materials can be used to purify internal strength!"

"What?"

As soon as Gu Zheng said this, Gu An and the other two shouted out!

The internal energy is purified, and the temporary benefit is that the strength is improved. The purer internal energy also has more powerful destructive power. In the long run, if you want to advance to become an immortal cultivator, purifying your inner energy is an inevitable step.

There are very few elixirs that can help purify internal energy, among which 'Snow Lotus Pill' is one of them. In addition, internal energy can also be purified with the help of external forces. However, the requirements for using external forces are very high. Those who need to help others purify their internal energy must reach the state of transforming spirits and returning to reality.

Taishang Elder Ouyang Hai meets the standard of purifying inner energy for others. If he can purify inner energy for others in this way, it will also cause great harm to himself. It takes several years to refine the inner energy for others, and Emei is in a troubled time, so Gu Zheng's trip to Shushan did not allow Ouyang Hai to help Elder Wuyou refine his inner energy.

The woodworms that are considered useless can be refined into elixirs that can be used to purify internal energy, combined with some high-end medicine stones that are indispensable in the sect. This news is really shocking! After all, judging from the tone of Gu Zheng's words, the remaining ingredients of the 'Purity Pill' seemed to be nothing, and it was not difficult for him to refine it.

"Don't think too much about it. I don't know the formula of 'Pure Pill'. I just heard my master mention it. How to refine it? I have to ask him to know."

Gu Zheng mentioned "Master". As for this "Master", whether Gu An and others would regard him as Ouyang Hai is not something Gu Zheng needs to consider.

As for not knowing the recipe, Gu Zheng didn't lie. The damn weapon spirit didn't seem to intend to tell him.

"No wonder the master put away the worm-eaten wood before. It turns out that the worm is such a treasure!"

Liu Ying realized it later, but she didn't know that Gu Zheng didn't have any foresight. He put away the insect-eaten wood at first, just because he didn't want to waste time in the mine tunnel.

"Master, you just said first, then what is second?" Zhang Tiancheng asked.

"There are no woodworms in the two pit trees I noticed. They did not migrate or die naturally, but were eaten!" Gu Zheng said slowly.

"What? Being eaten?"

Zhang Tiancheng and the three of them opened their eyes wide at the same time. They had just learned that the woodworms were treasures, and immediately got the news that they had been eaten. Suddenly, they felt angry in their hearts.

"Master, is there not even a single woodworm in such a big log?" Gu An said unwillingly.

Gu Zheng shook his head: "You can replace the moth-eaten pit wood and then split it to take a look."

Gu An and Liu Ying immediately took action, and the insect-eaten pit wood was replaced and broken open. They saw intricate insect passages with transparent lines everywhere, as if a slug had crawled in. After the secretions dried, What it looks like afterwards. As for the so-called pitfall insects, as Gu Zheng said, there are none.

"This is the trace of saliva left by the 'long-tongued beast' after eating pit woodworms."

Gu Zheng gave an explanation, but the eyes of Gu An and the other three were confused. They had never heard of the so-called 'long tongue beast'.

"The long-tongued beast is a medium-sized spiritual beast. It looks very much like a pangolin in appearance. Because it has the rare 'Golden Escape', it can quickly sneak into the mountain, so it is difficult to be caught. The main food of the long-tongued beast is medicinal stones. , the woodworm is just its snack, As for the treasures I'm talking about, apart from the woodworm, it's the 'long-tongued beast'. This kind of spiritual beast whose main food is medicinal stones can be said to be full of treasures. And, judging from the secretions it leaves behind, This 'long-tongued beast' should still be in our mining area."

According to Qi Ling, the meat of long-tongued beasts is generally of medium grade, which is a very needed ingredient in the ancient war.

"What are you going to do, Master? Do you want to deal with it the same way you deal with the Earth Turtle?" Liu Ying asked.

"The Pitwood Insect is just a snack for the 'Long-tongued Beast'. It also has good spirituality, so it shouldn't be as greedy as the Earth Spirit Turtle. However, even though the 'Long-tongued Beast' is covered in scales, its defense The strength is far inferior to that of the Earth Spirit Turtle! As long as we can encounter it, as long as it runs slower, the Aofeng Bamboo Arrow should be able to deal with it!"

Gu Zheng looks confident on the outside, but actually feels quite helpless in his heart.

There are four types of Five Elements Immortal Techniques learned in ancient times: Fire Control Technique, Water Control Technique, Wood Control Technique, and Earth Control Technique. Among the five immortal arts, only the Fire Control Technique has been strengthened by the Huoyuan Dan. When there is a fire source, its power is barely adequate.

If Gu Zheng's Earth Control Technique had also been strengthened by elixirs such as the 'Tu Yuan Dan', then the turtle shell he wanted to obtain would be much simpler than it is now!

In the same way, if Gu Zheng possesses the secret of gold control and has been strengthened by pills such as 'Jin Yuan Dan', he will be much more confident in hunting the long-tongued beast that he has never met before.

"Master, since the Woodworm is a treasure, why don't we split up and visit the mining areas of the Qingcheng Sect and the Situ Family first?" Liu Ying suggested.

"Yes, I think so too. Liu Ying and Tiancheng, you two go to Qingcheng and the Situ family's mining area respectively to see if you can find the woodworm. After you are done with things there, you can come here and follow Gu Meet in peace, and then stay here to mine medicine stones! I will come here to find you when I come back from the depths of Shu Ruins."

After the trip to the mining area, Gu Zheng wanted to go to the depths of Shu Ruins alone. He had already told Liu Ying and the others about this before, so they were not surprised when he mentioned it again. After all, the danger factor in the depths of Shu Ruins is very high, so it would be better for Gu Zheng to go alone.

"As you command!"

Liu Ying and Zhang Tiancheng saluted Gu Zheng and left. Gu Zheng took Gu An and continued walking along the mine tunnel.

After walking nearly half of the way and disappearing, Gu Zheng and the others finally arrived at the bottom of the mine tunnel.

Along the way, Gu Zheng discovered two more worm-eaten logs, but there were also no worms in them. However, judging from the saliva left by the long-tongued beast, it was closer to the time when it was looking for food.

On the rock formation at the bottom of the mine tunnel, there is a belt of crystals that shines slightly, like the Milky Way in the sky, and those shining crystals are medicinal stones of various grades.

The medicine stone is very strange. It has a faint fragrance when you smell it deeply. You cannot use brute force to mine it, you can only use your internal strength, so the mining speed cannot be fast.

"You are mining medicinal stones here, please pay attention to your safety!"

Gu Zheng patted Gu An on the shoulder, and all the instructions he wanted to say were caught in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Master. I wish Master a great harvest in the depths of Shu Ruins."

After Gu An finished speaking, he scratched his head and smiled before adding: "It should be said that there will be big gains in this mining area!"

"Haha... I'll lend you some good words!"

Gu Zheng laughed and began his journey alone in the Ruins of Shu.

Gu Zheng will try to find the long-tongued beast in the mining area. No matter whether he can find it or not, he will just walk through all the mining tunnels that he has not passed before Gu Zheng will leave his mining area.

What Gu Zheng needs to do next is to go to the mining areas of Lingjian Sect and Ziyun Palace to see if he can pick up the leaks. Since the woodworm is a treasure, even if he hasn't obtained the elixir for refining it yet, Gu Zheng wants to get some first.

The mining area is very large, and there are many forks in it. Fortunately, Guzheng is almost running all the way, so if you want to see it all, it won't take much time.

However, Gu Zheng had given hope for finding the long-tongued beast, but not to a special level. After all, the long-tongued beast is an earth spirit beast, and its whereabouts can only be described as 'elusive'. Maybe it's not in the branch you just checked, but it might pop out of the ground as soon as you turn around!

With this thought in his mind, Gu Zheng subconsciously glanced back, and this sight made his eyes widen.

He didn't see the long-tongued beast suddenly appearing behind him as he expected, but Gu Zheng did see a very blurry thing flash past when his vision was nearly at its limit!

Gu Zheng's vision was very good, but it was too dark in the mine. Even with lantern lighting, the visibility might not be comparable to the world outside the cave.

A blurry thing flashed by, and Gu Zheng was not sure whether it was a human being or a humanoid spiritual beast. But no matter who he was, Gu Zheng had to go and take a look. He couldn't let this potentially dangerous existence stay in the mining area where Gu An was the only one.

Due to the environment, it took Gu Zheng a short time to reach the limit of his previous vision.

This is an intersection in the mine. There are six forked roads in total. Gu Zheng doesn't know which mine tunnel the blurry thing he saw just now went into.

But that didn't mean there was no trace to be found. Gu Zheng smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

"The smell of human blood!"

Gu Zheng sniffed the smell of blood in the air and immediately made a judgment in his heart.

"The injured person cannot be Gu An, and such a person actually entered the mining area of ​​Emei. Who is he?"

Gu An took out Tang Mo and walked carefully towards a fork in the road.

"In the forked road nine meters ahead, there is a high-level spiritual beast, the Tiger-toothed Monkey."

The forked roads in the mine were like spider webs. Not long after Gu Zheng entered, the voice of the weapon spirit sounded in his mind.

"Why is it a spiritual beast? And it's also a 'tiger-toothed monkey' that lives in the mountains and forests? Could it be that the blurry thing you saw just now? Did the smell of human blood come from its mouth?"

While he was wondering in his heart, Gu Zheng had also arrived at the fork in the road where the Tiger Tooth Monkey was.

"call……"

A huge stone flew out from the fork in the road and hit Gu Zheng directly.

Gu Zheng dodged and the boulder fell to the ground with a loud noise. But the tiger-toothed monkey in the fork in the road obviously didn't intend to give up. Stones of different sizes were like meteor showers, constantly hitting Gu Zheng from the fork in the road.

"Evil beast!"

Gu Zheng sneered, and while Tang Mo was slashing with his hand, he also advanced towards the fork in the road.

It has to be said that the tiger-toothed monkey is very powerful. The flying rocks are like a meteor shower, coupled with the powerful destructive power on it. If it is encountered by an ordinary fifth-level early-stage cultivator, let alone advancing towards the fork in the road, it will be able to avoid being hit by the flying rocks. Injury is already a very rare thing.

But Gu Zheng was different. He was an immortal cultivator equivalent to an early fifth-level cultivator. Whether it was actual strength or the subtlety of the ethereal body illusion technique, he was able to calmly face flying rocks.

"Zhizhi..."

Seeing that Gu Zheng was approaching, the screaming tiger-toothed monkey gave up the flying stone attack and pounced directly on Gu Zheng.

He is said to be a monkey, but the tiger-toothed monkey actually looks like an ape. He is one head taller than Gu Zheng and is very strong. It clenched its fists as it pounced on Gu Zheng, as if it was about to punch Gu Zheng to death.

With the strength of the tiger-toothed monkey, if Gu Zheng were hit by this punch, he would definitely die. But how could Gu Zheng make it happen?

"court death!"

Gu Zheng shouted fiercely. While using the ethereal body illusion technique to dodge the fist, he also immediately used the Mountain Sword Technique. Tang Mo slashed at the tiger-tooth monkey's neck with an invincible momentum.

"squeak……"

The tiger-toothed monkey screamed. Gu Zheng dodged its fist, which was unexpected. Facing Gu Zheng's knife, it did not dare to attack and immediately jumped back to avoid it.

As if Gu Zheng knew the tiger-toothed monkey's avoidance route, Tang Mo, who originally swung out, changed his move midway. When he stopped and moved forward, Tang Mo had already stabbed into the tiger-toothed monkey's chest.

The tiger-toothed monkey jumped backwards, so Gu Zheng's knife did not penetrate deeply. However, Gu Zheng immediately changed his moves and unleashed his inner strength to strike at the tiger-toothed monkey again.

The tiger-toothed monkey jumped back very fast, and the internal energy flew out to pursue it even more quickly. When the tiger-toothed monkey stopped, the internal energy had already struck it in the abdomen.

Blood suddenly flowed out, and the screaming tiger-toothed monkey wanted to pounce towards Gu Zheng again. Suddenly, a very ethereal female voice came out from the darkness in the distance.

"Huya, come back!"

"Zhizhi..."

Absolutely unwilling, the tiger-toothed monkey raised its fist at Gu Zheng, and this time ran towards the darkness behind it.

Gu Zheng did not pursue, but just followed. He could already tell who the woman in the darkness was from her voice.

There were four people in Ziyun Palace who entered Shu Ruins this time, three of them were Ling sisters, and there was another Gu Zheng who didn't know her name, but had heard her voice.

Gu Zheng understood that the three Ling sisters had good cultivation, but they were not the leaders of Ziyun Palace's trip to Shu Ruins. The real leader was the one whose name he still didn't know. This kind of person who is well hidden by the sect on weekdays and only shows up at critical moments is usually very talented.

Not to mention anything else, just having a tiger-toothed monkey is an amazing thing.

The tiger-toothed monkey is huge in size. It is not a small treasure-hunting mole. It can be put into a bag and brought into the Shu Ruins. This can only mean that the tiger-toothed monkey was domesticated by this woman after entering the Shu Ruins. Today is the fourth day of the Shu Ruins. She can tame an adult tiger-toothed monkey within four days. Her talent in taming animals is really surprising!

In fact, the art of taming animals is not exclusive to Ziyun Palace, but is a secret technique that originally existed in Shushan. Just like Luo Xiao can control colorful feathered sparrows through his voice, this is actually the category of animal taming. It's just that when Ziyun Palace branched out from Shushan, it took this secret technique with it. Since the ancestors of the other branches did not practice this secret technique themselves, the disciples and descendants of the later generations naturally did not know it.

The slightly loose purple clothes could not hide his petite and exquisite figure. Chu Xiaochen, whose left arm was injured, stared closely at Gu Zheng who was approaching.

Through reports from fellow disciples, Chu Xiaochen knew something about the ancient dispute.

Chu Xiaochen is an elder-level existence in Ziyun Palace. She has a relatively cold nature and is weak in worldliness.

Unlike Elder Xiaofeng and the others' attitude towards Gu Zheng, Chu Xiaochen was disdainful and disgusted with Gu Zheng! There was no other reason, it was just because Gu Zheng stole the show at this ranking event, but the number of places to enter the Shu Ruins was actually the same as their Ziyun Palace.

"What's your name? Why are you in our Emei Sect's mining area?"

Chu Xiaochen didn't know what Gu Zheng was thinking, but from the look in her eyes and what happened just now, Gu Zheng understood that this woman was not a kind person.

"Chu Xiaochen. When I come to your Emei mining area, I naturally have something to do. Don't worry, I won't take any cents from your medicinal stones! If you stay here for a while, I will reward you."

Chu Xiaochen's voice was ethereal and cold, and he threw three high-level elixirs to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng didn't pick it up and let it fall to the ground.

Gu Zheng originally asked patiently for the sake of Elder Xiaofeng and the three sisters Ling Xue, but when he saw the high-level elixirs thrown out, there were three of them, no more and no less, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared. Jumped up.

"What do you mean?" Gu Zheng's face darkened.

"It's not interesting. Isn't the meeting gift you gave Ling Xue and others just three elixirs? If you think it's too little, I can give you three more or six high-level elixirs, just to stay in your Emei mining area for a while. Time, the reward is not low, right?”

Chu Xiaochen took out three more elixirs and threw them away. Gu Zheng not only did not pick them up, but instead sneered.

After laughing enough, Gu Zheng pointed in the direction of the cave entrance, word by word.

"Put away your elixir and leave the mining area of ​​Emei now, immediately, immediately!"

Chu Xiaochen was stunned, as if she did not expect that Gu Zheng would react so fiercely. Her eyes widened, and she spoke after a moment.

"Who are you yelling at?"

Chu Xiaochen was also angry. After all, she was also an elder of Ziyun Palace.

"Can't you get out?"

Gu Zheng didn't want to talk nonsense to people like Chu Xiaochen, and murderous intent appeared in his cold eyes.

"you……"

Chu Xiaochen originally wanted to take action, but since his words were not speculative, whoever was more powerful would have the final say. But looking closely at the murderous intent in Gu Zheng's eyes, she regained her senses without saying a word.

If it were an ordinary person, even a late fifth-level cultivator, Chu Xiaochen would not be afraid. After all, she herself was a late fifth-level practitioner. Although she was slightly injured, it was not a serious problem. There is also a spiritual beast equivalent to the middle level of the fifth level as a helper. This kind of comprehensive strength is really not weak.

Unfortunately, the murderous intent in Gu Zheng's eyes was too cold, and Chu Xiaochen even read some contempt and determination in it. It felt like if she really fought with Gu, she might not even know how she died, and once she started fighting, there would be absolutely no room for recovery.

No one has ever given Chu Xiaochen such a strange feeling. Considering the incredible things about Gu Zheng and the way he just dealt with the tiger-toothed monkey, Chu Xiaochen felt that it was better to compromise. There was no need to get into a very dangerous situation over a trivial matter. situation.

"Okay, what happened just now was my fault, so don't be angry. Let's talk about it if we have something to say."

Chu Xiaochen is not good at dealing with people, but that does not mean that she is not afraid of death. It is not surprising for people to make decisions that go against common sense when faced with a death crisis.

This time it was Gu Zheng's turn to be slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the seemingly arrogant and reckless Chu Xiaochen could apologize immediately without any nonsense at such a critical moment.

"Tell me well? Okay, give me two explanations first."

"First, what are you doing in our Emei mining area?"

"Second, we are from the same lineage as the Shu Mountains. You just came to our Emei mining area. Why did you let the tiger-toothed monkeys ambush me? Do you want to kill someone, or do you want to test me?"

A big part of the reason for this is of course the friendship between the other people in Ziyun Palace.

As for the motive behind the tiger-toothed monkey's ambush, no matter what Chu Xiaochen's original intention was, since she had already apologized, she would definitely answer that it was a test. However, Gu Zheng knew that she would answer this way and still asked, but it was not to give her a step forward. Next, I just mentioned this topic and asked for benefits.

"I was tracking a spiritual beast, so I entered the Emei mining area. Let the tiger-toothed monkeys ambush me, so I naturally want to see how good you are." Chu Xiaochen said.

"Look at my depth? Do you think I will believe it? When fighting, life and death only happen in an instant. If I were killed by your spirit beast, wouldn't I die unjustly? I don't care about so many things, just this one I need compensation!"

Gu Zheng stared closely at Qiu Xiaochen's eyes, and Qiu Xiaochen also frowned: "What compensation do you want? For the six high-level elixirs on the ground, what do you want me to add?"

"Don't mention the ground to me!"

Gu Zheng's eyes turned cold again: "I'll give you three elixirs no more and no less. You must also know what happened in the Bluestone Wasteland last night. I need good ingredients. Take out the good ingredients you have and let me take a look." , whatever you need, I’ll pick some myself!”

Asking for benefits, Gu Zheng is actually forcing Qiu Xiaochen! If she is obedient, everything will be fine, but if her calmness is just a facade, then we should consider whether to keep her here to avoid future troubles.

"I don't have good ingredients. Those things are all stored over by Ling Xue and the others!"

Chu Xiaochen shook his head, saying it sounded very true.

"If you want peace talks, you must first be honest. I don't like lying, and I don't like being lied to! If something like this happens again, then we will have a fight, but I want to remind you that my fighting skills are a means of killing people. , not suitable for discussion.”

Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed into slits, and the killing intent that had disappeared reappeared. Indeed, his current method can also be said to be a method of killing people. Whether it is the ancient space, Tang Mo's magical power, or the two newly acquired immortal weapons, this is not something that can be seen casually. If it is... If someone sees it, then this person must die!

Chu Xiaochen's eyes widened, and the killing intent reappeared in Gu Zheng's eyes, making her couldn't help but feel grateful for her apology just now.

"About your 'Meteor Immortal Step', I always thought it was fake, but now it seems that it should be real."

Chu Xiaochen smiled bitterly, and what she said made Gu Zheng laugh in his heart.

Gu Zheng understood that at the ranking event that day, no matter whether the story he made up was credible or not, no matter what the inspection results given by the head of Shushan and the referee elders were, there were still many people who did not believe in the 'Meteor Immortal Step'. . However, Gu Zheng did not expect that the 'Meteor Immortal Step' would become Chu Xiaochen's biggest fear at this time.

"I'm curious, how do you know that I lied to you, and why are you so sure that I have good ingredients here?" Chu Xiaochen asked.

"You are the leader of Ziyun Palace's trip to Shu Ruins. It's not surprising that you carry good things with you. Besides, there is a treasure-hunting mole hidden in your bag. If you want to say that you don't have good ingredients, do you think I will? Do you believe it?"

"How did you know I had a treasure-hunting mole in my bag?"

Chu Xiaochen almost bit her tongue. She lowered her head and glanced at the bag next to her. She didn't find any gaps in it! What's more, from the time he encountered the ancient dispute to now, the treasure-hunting mole has been very well-behaved and hasn't even made a sound.

"Guess."

Gu Zheng lied, but it was actually detected by Qi Ling.

"Okay, you win. I can give you some good ingredients, but there is one thing we need to agree on first. I need to stay in your mining area to capture the spiritual beast I am tracking." Chu Xiaochen thought thought for a while.
