Mythical Cultivation

Time flies and a day passes in a flash.

Wu Ming always remained highly vigilant and carefully steered the spirit boat, causing its route to deviate slightly to the west.

In this way, his final destination quietly changed from Baiye County to the red copper mine in the Qilian Mountains.

The reason for doing this is that Wu Ming knows very well that his every move may be spied on by others near the sect.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, especially to prevent Liu Qingquan's incident from happening and allowing the sect to track him down, he decided to adopt this roundabout strategy.

Now, thousands of miles away from the sect, Wu Ming can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He no longer worried about being discovered, so he revealed the real purpose of his trip without any concealment.

Another half day passed quickly, and Wu Ming's spirit boat finally landed slowly in a mountain range.

This is his destination, the Qilian Mountains, and the red copper mine is located right in this mountain range.

After putting away the spirit boat, Wu Ming changed out of the eye-catching green shirt of the inner disciple of Qingyun Sect and put on a dark nightgown. He also changed his body shape and face and covered his face with a mask. Then he stepped on a mid-grade flying sword that he had never used before and set foot on the Qilian Mountains.

About an hour later, Wu Ming finally arrived at his destination - a mountain hundreds of feet high.

This mountain is completely different from other peaks in the Qilian Mountains. Dense towering trees grow on its mountain, forming a lush scene.

However, the top of the mountain is not like this. It is covered with low bushes and jungles, and occasionally you can see exposed rocks protruding from the top.

Wu Ming carefully concealed his whereabouts and slowly stepped into the mountain.

As the sky gradually darkened, he did not realize until he got closer that the exposed rocks on the mountain were all crimson, as if stained with blood.

At this moment, shouts suddenly rang out from the mountains: "Dinner is ready! Dinner is ready!"

As the sound rang out, figures walked out from the mountain. They were the workers who were mining ore here.

Each of these workers looked exhausted, but when they heard the call for dinner, a look of liberation appeared on their faces.

As the workers left, a figure slowly walked out of an attic.

Wu Ming looked closely and found that this person was the target of his trip - Liu Qingquan.

"Junior Brother Tang, are there any workers missing today?" Liu Qingquan asked the young man in front of him with a serious face.

Junior Brother Tang's face turned pale, clearly frightened by the question. He stammered, "Senior Brother Liu, today... today, two workers are still missing. This has happened for several days in a row, and the other workers are extremely panicked. They're worried they'll be the next to disappear."

Junior Brother Tang became more and more frightened as he spoke, and his voice began to tremble.

He really couldn't understand why such a workers' disappearance happened while he was guarding the copper mine. This was his responsibility!

Some time ago, he had been exploring the mine but found nothing.

Faced with such a situation, he had no choice but to report to the sect.

In the end, the sect gave this task to Senior Brother Liu.

Liu Qingquan didn't pay attention to Junior Brother Tang's frightened expression. His attention was all focused on the workers' situation.

He then asked, "So, have all the workers come out of the mine now?"

"Now that all the workers have evacuated, you can go explore the depths of the mine without worry," the young man surnamed Tang replied respectfully.

Liu Qingquan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then instructed: "Go and comfort the workers. Don't let them panic and delay the mining of the ore."

His voice was low and authoritative, revealing an unquestionable tone.

The young man surnamed Tang quickly responded, "Yes, Brother, I'll do it right away."

After saying that, he turned and left, returning to the attic not far away.

Liu Qingquan felt a little relieved as he watched the young man named Tang walking away.

He took a deep breath, then stepped on the flying sword and rushed into the inky black mine like a flash of lightning.

After the young man surnamed Tang returned to the attic, he immediately gathered all the workers and began to appease them.

Most of these workers are casual cultivators in the Qi Refining realm. They come here to mine ore just to earn some spirit stones.

Faced with possible dangers, they would not joke about their lives for a few spirit stones.

Therefore, during this period, many workers left the mine one after another.

At this moment, Wu Ming quietly hid aside and heard the conversation between Liu Qingquan and the young man named Tang clearly.

After learning the whole story, Wu Ming was secretly happy, because he knew that his chance had come.

After Liu Qingquan entered the dark mine, Wu Ming waited for a while, making sure that no one was paying attention, and then followed him into the mine.

Although there were blazing torches on the walls of the mine, the mine was too huge and the light provided by these torches was still insufficient, allowing people to barely see some vague outlines and shadows.

However, for a foundation-building cultivator like Wu Ming, this level of light would not cause any hindrance to him.

His eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people, and he can clearly see every detail in the mine.

Wu Ming did not summon his flying sword, but directly used the light body technique and rushed lightly towards the depths of the mine.

His figure was like a ghost, moving freely in the mine, as if he was completely unaffected by the darkness and rugged terrain.

Less than an hour after entering the mine, Wu Ming suddenly heard a fierce fight coming from the front.

He immediately increased his speed and rushed to the source of the sound like lightning. When he arrived, he was stunned by the scene before him.

Liu Qingquan was seen engaging in a thrilling battle with a huge Sky-Splitting Beast.

This Sky-Splitting Beast is somewhat similar to a pangolin. Its body is covered with a layer of hard scales, its head is sharp, and its limbs are thick and powerful.

It has sharp fangs in its mouth and roars from time to time, appearing extremely ferocious.

Sky-Splitting Beasts usually feed on various minerals. They mostly live deep underground, rarely appear on the surface, and have little contact with humans.

Obviously, this red copper mine is most likely the location of the Sky-Splitting Beast's lair.

These mining monks accidentally dug out its nest, which was undoubtedly a provocation to the Sky-Splitting Beast.

The Sky-Splitting Beast naturally would not sit idly by and decided to take action against these humans who invaded its territory.
