"Gather in the Nine Court … Straight away, the Yin. ( "After counting all the great cultivators' storage pouches and putting the sleeping Heart Devouring Bug into their beast pouches, Wei Suo ordered the Green Phoenix Scale Eagle to fly non-stop towards the southwest. As for Li Jiuyi, he continued to refine the Longevity Pill and continued to recite the Ancient Canon of Missing Moon."

Wei Suo and the green-robed old man discovered that after Li Wen Li's mind had been completely thrown into chaos, she had fallen into a strange situation that they could not explain to them. While continuously refining the pills, he focused all of his attention on the sutra and even occasionally drew out a set of pictures. Moreover, Wei Suo could feel that the true essence in Li Zhi Yi's body was still circulating in a certain cycle. There was only one possibility for such a cycle, and that was that Li Zhi Yi was practicing a true essence cultivation technique! In other words, sometimes, Li Jiuyi would cultivate unconsciously just like he did on instinct. He was refining pills, cultivating, and thinking hard about other things. If it was any other cultivator who was doing this, their body's true essence would easily go astray and go berserk. However, after his mind was in a state of chaos, it was as if his head was split into several pieces and he could do different things at the same time without any hindrance.

This sort of spiritual sense split by more than two times compared to ordinary Aurous Core stage cultivators. If it could be used normally in battle, then it would mean that an ordinary Aurous Core stage cultivator could simultaneously control two magic treasures. Then, he should be able to control several magic treasures at the same time.

But right now, Li Hanwen was completely relying on his own instincts to confront his opponent. He didn't even know how to activate his own technique. Wei Suo tried to teach him how to control magical equipment, but he could only control one. Moreover, he sometimes had no idea that when the magic treasure's power decreased, he would have to concentrate his primeval essence to stimulate the magic treasure's power again. Therefore, this strange situation was temporarily impossible to be used against the enemy.

For the past six days, Li Jiuyi had been constantly chanting and thinking hard. He had already listed more than thirty verses, a total of 600 characters, and finally two complete scriptures had been formed. However, the six hundred characters of the scripture and the two complete diagrams were still like pieces, making it difficult for people to connect them. If one could not figure out what the meaning was, then they would not be able to understand it.

For the past six days, Li Jun would occasionally say a few short, broken sentences. From time to time, she would also produce a new record that Wei Suo had never seen before. It made people feel that apart from Li Hanwen, who had already been confirmed, there was still a lot of s.p.a.ce remaining besides the six hundred words of order and the two diagrams.

However, Wei Suo was not anxious at all. In the past six days, after Li Jiuyi had continuously refined four Longevity Pills, the old aura which seemed as if it could die at any time had completely disappeared. Although his hair was still snow-white and his face looked extremely old, his vitality had increased, and his life was definitely not in danger. As long as the rest of the Life Extending Dan Bead was fully refined, it should be able to increase lifespan by at least ten years.

Furthermore, from Li Jianyi's recitation of the Ancient Book of Remnant Moon, the situation seemed to be getting better and better. It was very likely that he would be able to recite all of the scriptures and diagrams. Perhaps the more scriptures he recited, the clearer Li Hanwen's memory of the scriptures would become. At that time, he would be able to completely distinguish the order behind the scriptures.

Because of the cover of the Phoenix Scale Green Hawk's aura, Wei Suo didn't attract any powerful demon beasts along the way. Even if they met some demon beasts along the way, Wei Suo still had the thought of using as little trouble as possible. After six consecutive days of travelling, Wei Suo once again exited the sky. Then, outside the sky, in the desolate wilderness, Wei Suo first put away the Green Phoenix Scaled Eagle. Then, he used the spiritual light escape technique he obtained from the great cultivator that partic.i.p.ated in the encirclement and killed him, directly throwing Li Wen Yi into the sky.

This kind of spiritual light escape method was similar to the one Lin Taixu used when he fled to Northern Spiritual City. It was the fastest escape method Wei Suo had ever seen, and its speed even surpa.s.sed all of the magic treasures Wei Suo possessed.

At this speed, as long as he didn't encounter any special obstacles in less than three days, he would be able to enter his destination, the wilderness closest to the various capital city.

… ….

The moon was bright and the stars were spa.r.s.e. The boundless night enveloped a low mountain range within the Wasteland. There was no light at all, but the sound of metal sharp weapons and the cras.h.i.+ng of rocks could be faintly heard.

The surroundings of this low mountain range was also a hilly area.

This voice came from time to time from the low mountain range. Suddenly, a purple stream of light appeared in the distant sky. It was like a meteorite as it flew over at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

When they were several kilometers away from the low mountain range, the violet light suddenly paused, revealing two figures.

The two cultivators that appeared from the purple stream of light were Wei Suo and Li Hanyi.

Looking at the low mountain range in front of them, Wei Suo also had a surprised expression on his face.

Originally, it had only been two days since he had used the Spiritual Light Escape Technique to fly. According to his calculations, it would take him at least one more day and night before he would be able to meet a cultivator. Moreover, this low mountain range was currently twenty-five thousand kilometers away from the edge of the sky, and it was also in the dark. Normally, very few cultivators would stop here.

This sound was completely different from the sound produced by demon beasts. Moreover, from the sound of it, the sound produced by the metal cutting and rock cras.h.i.+ng was not limited to just one place; it seemed to be the sound of more than one cultivator.

"It might be some sort of mine. Some cultivator from some sect is collecting ores here." It was currently night, and the green-robed old man was also outside of the Spirit Cultivation Pail. Thus, after Wei Suo stopped, the green-robed old man also immediately made such a sound.

"Let's go down and take a look first."

Wei Suo felt that this was the only possibility. With a flash of his eyes, a bright light flashed as he rushed towards the source of the sound.

In just a short moment, Wei Suo and Li Wen descended without a sound and landed on top of a pile of rubble within the mountain range.

In front of this pile of stones, there was a deep path that could only fit one person. From time to time, there would be faint tinkling sounds.

"It should be cultivators gathering ores here, but if there is a sect collecting ores here, logically speaking, there should be at least restrictions placed to prevent the sound from being emitted. Otherwise, it would be easy to attract demon beasts." If it was a rogue cultivator, they would naturally not be able to place a large area of restrictions and block out the sound of scattering points. However, rogue cultivators that collect ores to earn spirit stones usually don't have a high cultivation level. How could a rogue cultivator of this level possibly reach so far out in the sky, especially at night when there were more Demonic Beasts gathering ores? Could it be that there is some kind of rare and astonis.h.i.+ngly valuable ore? "

After a quick glance around, such a thought immediately appeared in Wei Suo's mind.

This was because Wei Suo could see that in many parts of the mountain range, many tunnels had been dug out by someone. Moreover, there were many messy piles of broken rocks outside the tunnels, which were obviously cleared out by someone. It was very similar to the copper mine outside Ling Yue City. The pile of rubble that Wei Suo and Li Hanwen were currently in was also one of them. Moreover, the marks on the rubble were completely new; it was obvious that they had only been cleared up in the last few days.

"Eh?"

While he was still in shock, Wei Suo's eyebrows immediately jumped because his spiritual sense had detected that there was a cultivator flying out from the path ahead.

To Wei Suo, this cultivator's aura was very low; it seemed that he would at most not be in the 3rd level of the Refinement Realm.

After this cultivator appeared within the range of Wei Suo's spiritual sense, another three cultivators appeared within the range of his spiritual sense. The auras of these three cultivators were not very strong, and their cultivation bases were also about the same as the first cultivator's.

"Let's hide and see what happens first."

Wei Suo remained silent as he transmitted his voice to Li Jianyi. After Li Jianyi nodded, the two of them moved. They quickly arrived on a tree in the distance and hid themselves.

After about ten breaths' time, the pitch-black tunnel entrance flashed with light, and four cultivators flew out in succession.

Among the four cultivators, there was a short, white-haired old man, and the rest were young and strong cultivators who were not more than forty years old. Just like what Wei Suo had sensed earlier, among the four cultivators, the old, white-haired old man with the highest cultivation level was only at the 4th level of the Revolving Core realm, while the other three young, robust cultivators were all below the 3rd level of the Revolving Core realm.

The vests of these four cultivators were all different, and their grades were no higher than half spirit rank. They seemed to be standard, low level rogue cultivators.

After these four cultivators rushed out, they looked around with some vigilance. With their senses, they simply weren't able to detect the hidden Wei Suo and Li Hanyi that were thousands of feet away.

Afterwards, these cultivators, led by a short, white-haired old man, walked towards the other side of the mountain. They stopped at a shallow pit and each took out a magic tool to dig their way down.

Seeing that it was indeed unlike some large sect digging here, Wei Suo no longer hid his traces, and after nodding towards Li Jianyi, his figure flashed, traversing through the void. In an instant, he arrived not far from the four cultivators, and his spiritual pressure immediately enveloped them, "Are you four digging for some sort of ore?"

"Cultivators!" Just as this thought flashed through the minds of the four cultivators, before they could clearly see who it was, they were pressed down by Wei Suo's consciousness and their bodies suddenly froze. Immediately, their faces revealed expressions of extreme terror.
