Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

"Ranran, what's wrong with you?" Mu Jinning quickly noticed that her face looked wrong and asked hurriedly.

"My spiritual energy is disappearing." Zhong Ran had never encountered such a situation before and was confused for a moment.

Mu Jinning quickly reacted: "I'm afraid Xiao Ding is borrowing your spiritual power. Let's go in and take a look."

He pulled her inside quickly. Judging from the depth and width of the mine, it should not have been excavated for too long.

But there are so many people, they should send some of them back to their families.

The small tripod was suspended above, emitting a mysterious power.

Seeing her come in, it flew over her head and buzzed twice, and the spiritual power in her body was lost even faster.

Then the whole cave began to tremble.

"It's draining the remaining spiritual veins."

Mu Jinning was also shocked. Once the spiritual vein was extracted, the cave would definitely collapse, and they would be buried here.

However, looking at the small tripod above her head, he didn't know whether he should take her out now.

"Buzz!"

The cave was shaking more and more violently, and Zhong Ran's face was becoming paler and paler.

Mu Jinning didn't care about anything else, picked her up and quickly rushed out.

The small tripod did not go out, and the suction force on it became stronger and stronger.

Mu Jinning had just rushed out holding Zhong Ran when the entire mountain collapsed, the ground shook, and dust billowed.

Afterwards, a tripod rushed out from the collapsed mountain and circled around Zhong Ran twice.

It was expressing its joy to Zhong Ran.

Then, it drilled into her dantian, trembling slightly, and a rich spiritual energy was fed back to Zhong Ran.

Zhong Ran's complexion gradually improved, and the spiritual energy in his dantian became richer than before, but unfortunately he did not get promoted.

"I'm fine now. It's feeding back its spiritual energy to me."

Zhong Ran stood up straight and looked at the collapsed mountain. The spiritual energy around him had deteriorated a lot.

Suddenly, there was an explosion in the ruins nearby. Ah Sheng's eyes were bloodshot and he rushed out in a mess.

He looked around and saw that no one was around, so he walked over to Zhong Ran and said in a wronged voice, "Sister."

He just went to a nearby cave to look for food.

The Zhou family dug some shallow caves nearby to live in. Most of them did not have storage bags, and they fled in such a hurry that they had no time to pack their things.

Ah Sheng's nose is particularly sensitive to food. When Mu Jinning brought Zhong Ran in, he looked around for food.

He never imagined that the cave would collapse.

If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have been buried alive.

Zhong Ran looked at his miserable appearance and couldn't help but laugh. He pinched his fingers and made a body cleansing gesture to eliminate his miserable appearance.

"Did you find anything to eat?"

Ah Sheng nodded heavily: "Yes, I found it, and there are these stones."

He took out a small pile of stones and gave it to Zhong Ran. He walked in and put everything into the space without even looking at it.

"Asheng is really awesome." Zhong Ran praised with a smile, and looked around, but there was nothing left to pick up.

There may be some scattered spirit stones in some places, but it is very troublesome to find them one by one, and it is not worth it.

"Let's go find Xiaoyan and leave here."

It's time to leave. I'm afraid those monks will come here soon, which will be a troublesome thing.

The four of them quickly left this place and no longer took the same path they came from. Instead, they turned into the woods and walked in another direction.

Everyone's speed was extremely fast. With this promotion, Zhong Yan not only consolidated his strength at the eighth level, but also advanced to the ninth level.

The next time you are promoted, you will be able to build a foundation.

So, along the way, Mu Jinning taught him a lot about foundation building.

It is good enough for ordinary cultivators to be able to build a foundation, but some people may only stop at building a foundation in their entire lives.

So, the base is very important.

When laying the foundation, don't rush to solidify the base, but try to build a more solid and larger base so that you can go further in the future.

Zhong Yan listened attentively and asked questions when he didn't understand. He soon understood all the things he needed to pay attention to when building the foundation.

When they were on their way to Yuncheng, the Zhou family secretly spread the news that a spiritual vein had been discovered there.

This news quickly attracted the attention of countless monks.

Everyone rushed over there, and when they arrived, they found that it was a ruin.

Not to mention spirit stones, even the spiritual energy is not as rich as that in other places.

Professionals have determined that there was indeed a spiritual vein there, but it had been completely dug out.

Everyone instantly felt cheated, and even suspected that the person who spread the news had dug up all the spirit stones, causing the collapse.

After repeated inquiries, clues were soon found.

Zhou family.

And it was at this time that the Zhou family truly collapsed.

After those people escaped back, they learned that the two monks who had previously transported the spirit stones had not returned to the family.

The two men are now missing, and there is no news about them, including the two storage bags and so many spirit stones.

"Could it be that they took the spirit stones and hid themselves?"

"That shouldn't be the case. They were the ones who delivered the spirit stones every time before. If they really wanted to do that, they would have done it long ago."

"The spirit stones I collected before weren't as many as this time. This time, I gathered three months' worth of spirit stones, a total of over 40,000 spirit stones. The previous three times combined didn't bring that many."

"That shouldn't be the case, right? They are all from the Zhou family, and their families are all in the family. How could they do something like that?"

Those who can be sent to transport spirit stones are all trusted by the family and are family members.

So, everyone thinks it is unlikely that they escaped.

"Master, news has come back from outside that the place has completely collapsed. Now everyone is saying that our Zhou family has dug up all the spirit stones and deliberately spread the news to lure everyone over. It's clearly a trick on everyone."

"Now, many cultivators have rushed to the Zhou family, claiming that they will not give up unless they give everyone a satisfactory explanation."

When the head of the Zhou family heard the news, he almost vomited blood in anger.

One of the two missing people was his younger brother.

He knew his younger brother well, and he would never betray the family.

So many spirit stones, two storage bags, and two powerful men, but nothing happened.

There is even more trouble with the mine over there, and now those cultivators are coming to the Zhou family to ask for an explanation?

"This is too much!" He slammed the table in anger and stood up. "Have you found out the origins of those three people?"

If it weren't for those three young men, perhaps such a thing wouldn't have happened to their Zhou family.

He even suspected that the disappearance of the two strong men might be related to those young people.

After all, they had a powerful beast by their side, so it was easy to deal with two strong men.

However, we have not yet found any clues about the three young men, and we cannot confirm whether they are the ones.
