Chapter 1494 Undercurrent
After Elder Linghuo said this, everyone in the hall stared at the pile of miscellaneous things, and their breathing became a little heavy.
"This is what was mined from that mine. So, the medicine spirit is in it..." The old woman at the top said faintly.
She looked old and frail, with cloudy eyes and a drowsy look, but the aura on her body was like an abyss, making it impossible to explore.
From the perspective of cultivation level, this old woman is actually one point stronger than the middle-aged man in green, at least she has reached the realm of the Great Perfection of the Cave Heaven Realm.
"Reporting to Elder Fangyu, according to the clues we got, the medicine spirit did appear in that mortal mine. We originally sent people there, but we didn't expect to be a step too late. Those mortals had already mined the mine. Later, we searched the surrounding area but couldn't find any traces of the medicine spirit. After they mined the mine, they sent it to our Lingshan Island without stopping, so the medicine spirit is very likely mixed in it." Elder Linghuo said.
When this was said, several elders in the hall were shocked.
What the Medicine Spirit means is very clear to them.
The Medicine God Sect was once able to flourish because of the existence of this Medicine Spirit. Unfortunately, after it was lost thousands of years ago, its strength was greatly reduced. Now that they have the opportunity to find the Medicine Spirit, how can they not be very excited?
"But this matter did not alarm anyone, right?" asked the middle-aged man in green.
"Don't worry, Elder Zhong Ming, the mortal caravan arrived at Lingshan Island safely without any accidents." Elder Linghuo said with a bow.
The old woman and the middle-aged man in green nodded when they heard this. If the news leaked out, those mortals would have been killed long ago. It shows that their risky move is very effective.
"I didn't expect that the Medicine Spirit could be found again after being lost for thousands of years. This is a blessing for our Medicine God Sect." said the middle-aged man in green.
"I haven't seen the Medicine Spirit yet. It's not certain whether it is really in these supplies. It's too early for Junior Brother Zhong Ming to say this." The old woman shook her head and said calmly.
The young man in green said with a smile: "Whether the medicine spirit is inside, we will know if we open it and take a look."
As he said that, the middle-aged man in green shook his sleeves, and his powerful magic power swept like a vast ocean, falling directly towards the supplies in the hall.
With a loud "crash", a strong wind suddenly blew, and all the supplies were scattered. Everything was clearly presented in front of everyone, even the smallest grains of sand were clearly visible.
But after all the items were spread out, everyone frowned and fell silent.
As seen before, they were all ordinary things, inconspicuous, and almost like waste for cultivators of their level.
Not to mention the medicine spirits that contain the spiritual power of heaven and earth, even the valuable spiritual herbs were missing.
The elders had smiled before, but now they all froze.
"No?"
"How is this possible!"
An elder who had achieved a minor success in the Golden Core Realm said gloomily.
He was full of confidence the moment before, but his hope was shattered in the blink of an eye, which was hard to accept.
The old woman and the middle-aged man in green clothes were better, but the faces of several elders in the Jindan realm gradually darkened.
"The medicine spirit is not here. Could it be that those mortals found it and took it away?" The elder in the Jindan realm who had achieved minor success almost growled.
"It is unlikely that a mortal took the medicine spirit away. They have no cultivation and don't know what a medicine spirit is." A rebuttal sounded next to him, and an elder in the Jindan realm frowned and shook his head, "What's more, the medicine spirit is born with spiritual power and knows how to protect itself. Not to mention mortals, ordinary cultivators may not be able to take it."
"Then how to explain this scene now? The medicine spirit just disappeared without a trace?" said the elder in the Jindan realm who had achieved minor success.
The elder in the Jindan realm who had achieved minor success hesitated for a while and sighed, "There is no medicine spirit in these materials. It is indeed a bit unexpected. Maybe the medicine spirit had left before those mortals mined the mine."
Everyone looked ugly.
But what the elder in the Jindan realm said is not without reason. Yao Ling was born in the ancient chaotic era and has gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for hundreds of thousands of years. He is very spiritual. No one can predict what kind of changes he will make.
"Are there other people in that caravan besides the mortals who transported supplies?" The old woman turned her head to ask Elder Linghuo. Under her calm face, she could not hide her disappointment.
Elder Linghuo did not dare to hesitate. After thinking for a while, he said: "There were indeed three cultivators on the merchant ship at that time, one in the small success of the Hualing realm and two in the perfect Dao foundation realm."
"Check!"
Without waiting for the old woman to speak, the middle-aged man in green said coldly: "Find out their details for me. Since these three people took the merchant ship to the island, they must have clues on them."
Elder Linghuo's face changed, and said: "But now the Dandao Exchange Conference is coming, and there are many cultivators from all sides on the island. If it causes trouble, the news of Yao Ling may be difficult to keep secret."
"This matter is very simple. The dead will not speak." The old woman said lightly.
"What Grand Elder Fang Yu means is..."
The elders were shocked.
"If one person knows about this, kill him. If two people know about this, kill both of them." said the old woman.
"Ling Huo obeys the order!" said Elder Ling Huo in a deep voice.
"Huh?"
Just then, a light exclamation sounded in the hall, and the elder who had achieved a minor success in the Golden Core Realm pointed at the messy supplies and said, "Two senior masters, look, what is that."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and there was a faint movement in the pile of supplies.
"Hmph! What is causing trouble here? Come out!"
Without waiting for the two Grand Elders of the Cave Heaven Realm to speak, Elder Ling Huo flicked his sleeves and swept the supplies on the ground.
A strand of white fluffy hair appeared among the debris on the ground, and a little rabbit emerged from it. It pricked its ears and looked frightened, and ran quickly out the door.
"You little bastard, you dare to cause trouble here and seek death!" Elder Ling Huo's face darkened, and he casually made a gesture to kill the little rabbit.
"That's all, it's just a rabbit, let it go!" the old woman said.
The Supreme Elder had already spoken, so Ling Huo simply stopped and allowed the little rabbit to escape.
This rabbit seemed petite, but it was very strong. After a few leaps, it quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Since the medicinal spirit is not among these supplies, you have one more thing to do besides checking the three monks on the merchant ship." The old woman continued.
"Please listen to the instructions of the Grand Elder."
All the elders obeyed the order solemnly.
"Anyone who knows about the medicinal spirit must not be allowed to stay. Those mortals are mining the mines. You send a few people to destroy them. Everyone who has ever set foot in the mine must die." The old woman said expressionlessly, as if she was saying something. A trivial thing.
Several elders felt a chill in their hearts, but there was no disturbance on the surface, and they all followed the orders and left.
…
One day passes.
With only two days left before the Alchemy Exchange Conference, Lingshan Island became increasingly lively, with ships docking at various ports one after another.
The monks who came here, in addition to some demon-cultivating forces on the surface, also had many secluded families.
Every time the Medicine God Sect held an alchemy exchange conference, they would sell many high-level elixirs to the outside world. In addition to exchanging materials with the outside world, they also used this to recruit more alchemists to join the sect and make it stronger.
Therefore, most people in previous alchemy exchange conferences came for those unparalleled elixirs, and took this opportunity to exchange treasures with other monks privately.
As the number of people on the island increased, the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion became somewhat overcrowded. However, some people did not choose to live in the guest rooms arranged by the Yaoshen Sect, but instead found a place on the island to wait.
Of course, there are still some people who can no longer hold back and start trading on their own in the square. The entire Lingshan Island is a scene of excitement.
However, the difference is that Ye Chunyang has been waiting quietly in the room since he checked in at the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion without taking a single step out.
Some people are secretly paying attention here. Many people saw the scene where Qin Ling was thrown downstairs yesterday. People who know Qin Ling know that with his retributive character, he will not let it go so easily, so they are all waiting. A good show.
But maybe it was because he was afraid of the Spirit Transformation Realm guard next to Ye Chunyang, but Qing Ling stopped showing up after yesterday, and seemed to be swallowing his anger.
This is confusing.
However, everyone regarded this matter as fun and did not pay too much attention to it. Apart from waiting for the conference to start, they were more interested in looking for treasures suitable for them in the square.
At noon, the door of a room in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion opened, and the old man surnamed Yao, Yao Shengjing, who came here with Ye Chunyang and two others, walked out.
After a night of training, he had almost recovered from his injuries. At this time, he was planning to go to the square to look for some treasures that could increase his chances of advancement.
Just as he went out, a figure appeared in front of him.
It was a burly man in black, with eyes as cold as ice.
"Who are you, your Excellency, and why are you blocking the way down?" Yao Shengjing asked warily with his eyebrows twitching.
As soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt a strong pressure coming from the man in black, making him feel like a mountain on his shoulders, and his body bent slightly.
"Master of the Spirit Transformation Realm!"
Yao Shengjing's face changed slightly.
"Stop talking nonsense, come with me if you want to live!" The man in black said coldly, picked up Yao Shengjing, controlled the divine rainbow, and sped away in a certain direction on the island.
Yao Shengjing felt shocked, but had no power to resist, so he could only go with him.
Half a moment later, the man in black stopped above a certain forest. After looking down, he threw Yao Shengjing forward: "Get down!"
Yao Shengjing fell into the forest and saw an old man in red and several middle-aged people waiting there.
Sensing the golden elixir level cultivation of the old man in red, Yao Shengjing looked horrified and did not dare to show any resentment on his face.
"I wonder what the senior's orders are for bringing this junior here?" Yao Shengjing bent at ninety degrees and saluted the old man in red respectfully.
The old man in red didn't speak. After looking at him for a few times, he traced his finger in the void.
A layer of spiritual light appeared in front of him, like a mirror, with a figure appearing in it.
"Have you ever seen this person?" the old man in red asked.
Yao Shengjing raised his head when he heard the words, and when he saw the figure appearing in the spiritual light, his expression suddenly changed.
This person turned out to be the elegant middle-aged man he met in the Unburied Sea before.
