Chapter 195 Red Blood Spirit Crystal
After leaving Su Shan's courtyard, Song Wen did not return to his residence directly, but headed east.
The valley east of Qingping Mountain is where the ancestor of the Su family went into seclusion.
As for inducing Su Shan to practice magic, it was just a whim. As for whether there would be any results or whether it would have some impact on the Su family, Song Wen did not care.
Song Wen walked for dozens of miles and finally went around to the east of Qingping Mountain.
The valley where Su Gan, the ancestor of the Su family, was located was just ten miles ahead.
From the exploration of the Holy Armor Gu, it was learned that there were many sentinels and secret sentries within the ten miles ahead, and there were dozens of Su family cultivators detected by the Holy Armor Gu.
The valley was not big, covering an area of about ten miles.
The entire valley was covered by a huge formation.
It was as difficult as ascending to heaven to sneak into the valley.
At the same time, Song Wen was a little surprised.
Such a large formation, opened for a long time, would consume a lot of resources.
What is the reason that the formation needs to be protected at all times?
Is there some kind of important secret hidden in the valley, and is it afraid of being discovered by outsiders?
Or is the ancestor of the Su family really on his last legs, and needs a large formation to stop the enemies who are seeking revenge?
Song Wen randomly found a hidden cave to hide in, and let the Holy Armor Gu explore around the valley to see if he can find a weak point and sneak into the valley.
The valley is too big, and Song Wen cannot get too close to the valley. His spiritual awareness cannot cover the entire valley. He can only give orders to the Holy Armor Gu to explore around the valley and bring the results back to Song Wen.
The Holy Armor Gu flew around the valley and found nothing.
There were Su family monks guarding all around the valley, and no one had ever opened the formation.
When Song Wen was about to go back to his residence, a large spaceship suddenly came from the sky.
Song Wen recognized it at a glance. It was the Su family spaceship that stopped outside Donghuafang City that day.
The spaceship hovered just above the center of the valley.
The formation barrier that covered the entire valley slowly opened a hole at the top.
On the spaceship, a man flew out on a sword, holding a chain in his hand.
One end of the chain was held by this man, and the other end was still on the spaceship. I don’t know what was tied to it.
This man flew into the valley through the hole opened in the barrier, and the chain was also pulled by him and dragged out of the spaceship.
Gradually, a casual cultivator tied with a chain was dragged out of the spaceship.
As the man flying the sword flew lower and lower, the chain that pulled out the spaceship became longer and longer. One by one, casual cultivators tied with chains were dragged out of the spaceship until the end of the chain appeared in sight.
Song Wen found that there were more than seventy casual cultivators tied up. It is not difficult to guess that these casual cultivators should all be people who practiced "Eternal Life Gong".
It seems that the "Eternal Life Gong" cultivators kidnapped by the Su family were finally sent to this valley.
But why did the Su family capture these people in the valley?
What is the connection with the old ancestor of the Su family who is about to die?
......
In the next two days, Song Wen honestly refined the elixir in the alchemy room. On the third day, he went out again in the name of rest.
Early in the morning, Song Wen disguised himself as a young cultivator of the eighth level of Qi training and left the Qingping Mountain.
All the way to the west, flying more than 500 miles.
A few miles ahead of Song Wen, a low mountain appeared. The mountain was bare, without any vegetation on it.
In these low mountains, there are a large number of mines as tall as a person, and from time to time, ragged mortals go in and out of the mines.
This is the Su family's most profitable industry, and also the Su family's most important industry. The red blood spirit crystal is an important spiritual ore for refining various spiritual tools.
The red blood crystal marrow associated with the red blood spirit crystal is a third-level spiritual material for refining magic weapons, which is invaluable.
Song Wen released the holy armor Gu and explored the entire mining area, and found that the defense of the mining area was not tight.
There is only a large courtyard in the center of the mining area, and the courtyard is protected by formations.
It makes sense. The red blood spirit crystal cannot be detected by spiritual consciousness, and can only be slowly excavated in the hard mine by manpower.
The Su family is not afraid of someone sneaking into the mine and stealing the red blood spirit crystal. Even if a cultivator sneaks into the mine and digs for a month, he can't dig a few pieces of red blood spirit crystal. Instead, he may be discovered by the patrolling Su family cultivators and lose his life.
The courtyard in the center should be the place where the Su family members practice and live and temporarily store the red blood spirit crystal, which is why the formation protection is needed.
Wujia Gu also brought back an unexpected discovery.
On the other side of the mining area, on a high mountain, six people were hiding and secretly observing the mining area.
These six people are all in the foundation-building period, five in the early foundation-building period, and one in the late foundation-building period.
Six foundation-building cultivators lurking near the Su family's spiritual mine are obviously not well-intentioned.
However, the six people were too far away from Song Wen, and even with the help of the Holy Armor Gu, his spiritual awareness could not cover that area.
This was the news brought back by the Wujia Gu after receiving Song Wen's order to explore the entire mining area.
The Holy Armor Gu's intelligence was not high, and it could not understand the human language. Therefore, Song Wen did not know what the six people were plotting.
Song Wen bypassed the mining area and sneaked close to the place where the six people were.
At this time, the six people should have completed the investigation and were retreating to the rear.
The six people obviously had some plans for the Red Blood Spirit Crystal Mine. Song Wen was unwilling to get no information from the six people, so he followed them.
Just after following for a few miles, Song Wen saw from the corner of his eye that a bowl-sized rat suddenly jumped out of the dense forest not far away.
The mouse was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning. Only a vague afterimage could be seen, fleeting in the dense forest, chasing the six people ahead.
Song Wen secretly thought, ‘No! ’
A long time ago, his spiritual sense had detected the mouse lurking in the tree hole, but there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in the mouse, so Song Wen mistook it for an ordinary mountain rat.
But he didn't expect that this mouse was not as fast as a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment. It was also extremely flexible and could move freely in the dense jungle.
Obviously, this mouse is a spiritual animal raised by monks.
Song Wen knew in his heart that he had been exposed.
Now that he has been exposed, he no longer hides his figure and chooses to show up to meet the six people.
...
In order not to alarm the Su family monks in the spiritual mine behind, the six people in front did not escape with all their strength, but walked cautiously through the dense forest.
Among them, the monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment was dressed as a frail scholar.
The mouse was as fast as the wind and ran directly into the scholar's arms.
The scholar's face changed slightly, he stopped and whispered.
"No, we were discovered."
The other five people heard the sound and looked over.
"What's wrong?"
"The Shadowless Rat discovered that someone is following me."
The expressions of the five people suddenly changed, and they subconsciously thought that the person they were following was a member of the Su family.
The five people subconsciously activated their body skills and stayed away immediately.
"Don't panic, there is only one person on the other side, and he is only in the early stage of foundation building."
As soon as these words came out, the five people felt a little at ease.
"Then how should we deal with it?" One of the female cultivators, who looked ordinary but had big, smart eyes, asked.
The scholar said, "Just act accordingly! That person is already here."
