Chapter 564 The whereabouts of the Lingzhu fruit
Somewhere in the mine.
A yellow formation barrier stands.
Outside the barrier are densely packed fire ants.
Within the barrier were two men, one woman, and three foundation-building monks.
𝟔𝟗𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐱.𝐧𝐞𝐭]
The three of them are Jing Kai, Tang Chuang, the head of the Tang family, and Tang Lin, the elder of the Tang family in the foundation building period.
"Clan Chief Tang, I have exhausted the middle-grade spiritual stones. Do you still have them?" Jing Kai asked.
Tang Tao shook his head, "We don't have any anymore either."
Jing Kai couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling, her brows filled with worry.
When the middle-grade spiritual stones are exhausted and only low-grade spiritual stones are used to maintain the operation of the formation, its defensive power will be greatly reduced.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the repeated attacks of countless fire ants.
"It seems we have no choice but to fight hard!" Jing Kai said helplessly.
Tang Chuang said, "This was originally just a matter of my Tang family, but I didn't expect that it would implicate fellow Taoist Jing. Wait, the three of us will each rely on our own abilities. Each of us can escape one by one."
The three people who were ready for a desperate fight suddenly noticed that the Yin Fire Ants outside the formation were unusually restless.
They seemed to be stimulated by some strong stimulus and began to rush around anxiously.
The fire ants began to collide with each other and kept making "hissing" sounds.
Then, fire ants crawled to the outside of the mine one after another.
The number of ants that were originally densely surrounding the formation decreased rapidly.
The three of them looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes.
They did not rush to remove the formation, but waited for a while until the number of fire ants outside the formation was no longer enough to threaten them.
Tang Chuang suddenly put away his formation and roared.
"Walk!"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Chuang took the lead and rushed out.
As the head of the Tang family, he is very familiar with the distribution and direction of underground mines.
After walking a hundred feet, a branch road appeared on the left and right in front of the three of them.
Tang Chuang turned to the left mine without hesitation, avoiding the army of fire ants in front of him that had not yet left.
The three of them walked around and around in the intersecting mines, sometimes going up and sometimes going down.
A full two-quarters of an hour later, the three of them successfully passed through the huge pit and reached the ground.
The three people who thought they were doomed all looked like they were surviving the disaster.
"Fellow Daoist Jing, how about you go to my Tang family residence to rest for a while?"
Tang Chuang took the initiative and invited Jing Kai to the Tang family's residence.
The three of them were trapped by fire ants in the underground mine for half a month. Their spiritual power and mind were severely depleted, and they were all seriously injured.
It stands to reason that Jing Kai should go to the Tang family to rest, and then return to Wuji Island after his injuries recover and his spiritual power is restored.
But Jing Kai shook his head, "Thank you very much, Master Tang, for your kindness. We have been trapped in the mine for half a month. I have some urgent matters that need to be dealt with back to the sect, and we cannot stay any longer."
Tang Chuang was slightly surprised, but he did not continue to persuade.
"In this case, Fellow Daoist, please be more careful on the road. Although the task of eradicating the fire ants has not been completed, it is not the fault of Fellow Daoist. I will send a message to the mission hall, explain the situation, and let the Mission Hall distribute the rewards to Fellow Daoist."
Jing Kai nodded.
"Farewell."
Jingkai soared into the sky and soon disappeared into the night sky.
Tang Chuang glanced in the direction of the stone house. The stone house no longer existed, only a pile of gravel remained.
Tang Lin on the side also noticed this.
There was obvious uneasiness on her face. Just as she was about to speak, Tang Chuang stopped her with a look.
"Let's go back to the family!"
After saying that, the two stood up with their swords and headed towards the Tang family's residence.
...
Above the vast sea.
A spaceship speeds past.
"Senior Jiyin, did you save me?" Jing Kai bowed and said to Song Wen.
The reason why Jing Kai did not agree to Tang Chuang and go to the Tang family's residence to rest was because he received a message from Song Wen.
Following Song Wen's instructions, he found Song Wen and took Song Wen's spaceship to Wuji Island.
Song Wen nodded slightly.
"Thank you, senior, for saving your life." Jing Kai said gratefully.
"Tell me exactly how you were trapped in the mine." Song Wen asked.
"The three of us entered the mine and planned to clear out the Yin Fire Ants. Unexpectedly, the Tang family's intelligence was wrong. There were second-order king ants among the Yin Fire Ants. The three of us were no match, so we could only fight and retreat, and were finally trapped in the Fortunately, Tang Chuang carried a set of "Five Elements Interaction Formation" with him and was able to save his life temporarily. "
"We thought that as long as we lasted for a day or two, the sect would send the Jindan elders to exterminate the fire ants. Unexpectedly, after waiting for half a month, there was still no one coming."
Jing Kai simply told what happened.
Song Wen was quite curious about the reason why Chu Lingyun was hiding in the mine. Therefore, he asked Jing Kai how the three of them were trapped.
However, judging from Jing Kai's description, Chu Lingyun did not take action against the three of them, at least not directly, so that Jing Kai did not know about Chu Lingyun hiding in the mine.
Unable to guess Chu Lingyun's purpose, Song Wen stopped worrying about the matter. It had nothing to do with him anyway.
Song Wen changed the topic and asked.
"Regarding Yuan Qing's death, what is Wuji Island's current attitude?"
Jing Kai said, "Shortly after the senior left Wuji Island, the sect stopped pursuing the matter. The junior speculated that the sect might have tracked down the real culprit."
"Have you found the real murderer?"
Song Wen looked suspicious.
After all, he was the real culprit who killed Yuan Qing.
Did Wuji Island find the wrong person and someone made a scapegoat for himself?
But this is undoubtedly good news for Song Wen.
If Jing Kai's guess is true, the identity of 'Ji Yin' can appear openly on Wuji Island again.
"This is just my guess, there is no real evidence." Jing Kai said.
Song Wen nodded slightly and stopped asking about this matter.
"I asked you to investigate the matter of the Lingzhu fruit tree. How is the investigation going?"
"Replying to the senior, the Lingzhu fruit tree is under the personal care of Han Wu, the steward of the Yantu Lingtian." Jing Kai said.
Yantu Lingtian is located more than a hundred miles outside the Shadow City and is built next to a dead volcano.
Wuji Island used extraordinary means to induce the magma deep underground to erupt again, and built a special spiritual field near the volcano to cultivate fire attribute spiritual herbs.
"How much do you know about Han Wu?" Song Wen asked.
Jing Kai took out a jade slip and handed it to Song Wen.
"I have already collected detailed information about Han Wu, all in this jade slip."
Song Wen took the jade slip and probed into it with his spiritual consciousness.
The information in the jade slip was very detailed, including Han Wu's cultivation, his teachers, his cultivation methods, and the cultivators who had close contact with him.
Song Wen nodded, "You did a good job."
"Thank you for your praise, senior. You have helped me time and again, and this time you saved my life. It is only natural for me to do something for you." Jing Kai said.
"When the Lingzhu fruit matures, do you have a way to get it?" Song Wen said.
Jing Kai said, "Junior, you can try. As far as I know, when Yuan Qing gave the Lingzhu fruit tree to Han Wu to cultivate, it was done in secret. In order to cover up the existence of the Lingzhu fruit tree, Yuan Qing specially set up a formation for it to prevent outsiders from snooping."
"Other spiritual plant husbands in the Yantu Spiritual Field do not know the existence of the Lingzhu fruit tree. They only know that there is a special spiritual plant covered by the formation in the Yantu Spiritual Field. Moreover, other spiritual plant husbands only know that this spiritual plant belongs to the high-level leaders of the sect, but do not know that it belongs to Yuan Qing. Therefore, even if Yuan Qing is dead, no one dares to take the idea of Lingzhu fruit."
"If the senior had not told me in advance that the Lingzhu fruit tree was transplanted in the Yantu Spiritual Field and the approximate time of transplantation, I am afraid that I would not be able to investigate this matter."
"Junior guesses that Han Wu wants to take the Lingzhu fruit for himself. As long as we offer him a bargaining chip that makes him excited, and then threaten to report the matter to the sect, Han Wu will definitely hand over the Lingzhu fruit."
