Chapter 562 Ancient Disease

"Hey."

The elder Jiu shook his head, as if he had compromised with himself.

"Forget it, Mu Yanji's apprentice is trouble."

The wine elder waved his sleeves and stood up from the bed.

The old man walked to an empty wall of the thatched house in three steps, raised his leg and kicked it, causing a groove to sink into the wall.

Immediately afterwards, the groove expanded rapidly until it turned into a dark vortex entrance.

"Come in with me, all of you."

After the elder Jiu said these words, he walked in directly.

After Zhou Yiqiao hesitated slightly, he followed Song Yang into the vortex.

"Shh!"

During a period of darkness, the three people's figures gradually stabilized. When their vision returned to clarity, the three people had already appeared in a huge underground cave.

The four walls of the cave are exuding mottled blue light, and extremely rich spiritual power floats out from these blue lights, filling the spiritual power in the cave as if it were real.

Hundreds of monks with cultivation levels above Nascent Soul each held a jade ruler and struck it on the blue light, making a pleasant sound.

"This is?"

Zhou Yiqiao was confused.

“This is the real core mining area of ​​Lianbo Mine.”

Elder Jiu's voice sounded, and at the same time, an extremely domineering spiritual power came along with Elder Jiu's voice, wrapping Zhou Yiqiao and Song Yang in it.

"You two follow me."

After the elder Jiu said this, he walked towards the depths of the mine.

Zhou Yiqiao looked at Song Yang in shock, but saw that the other party seemed to have already understood the truth about Lianbo Mine, and shrugged.

"Everything outside is a deception. Only these high-quality spiritual stones in the cave are the real target of the Demon Sect."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao remained silent.

He has also read through the books about the difficulty of mining different grades of spiritual stones.

Zhou Yiqiao vaguely remembered that the higher the quality of the spirit stone, the more complicated the mining method required. It was far from what ordinary people thought, and it could be done with just a handful of strength like an ordinary miner.

But these fellow disciples in front of them can easily knock down middle-grade or even high-grade spiritual stones from the cave with just a small jade ruler.

If the records in the classics are not incorrect, it can only prove that the stability of the spiritual stones in this cave has reached the point where you can gain something by tapping them at will!

"Junior brother was originally surprised that no matter how huge the spirit stone vein is, we and Motuo Mountain should not be so at war with each other."

"Now it seems that everything does make sense."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, and the trouble in his heart was completely answered.

The two of them followed the elder Jiu and galloped all the way. Two quarters of an hour later, they finally arrived at their destination.

What caught Zhou Yiqiao's eyes was a wide square.

In the center of the square is an altar composed of huge pillars.

There are dense lines on the altar, each of which exudes a peculiar brilliance, intertwining into a mysterious and obscure pattern.

The patterns spread out from the altar and spread all over the square. Even the surrounding walls were densely packed and extremely shocking.

"Song Yang begged me hard last night, saying that your alchemy skills are amazing."

"I was persuaded by him, and I plan to let you come here to try it."

The wine elder who was speechless all the way suddenly spoke, and the voice came from the front.

Upon hearing this, Song Yang quickly pulled Zhou Yiqiao beside him and reminded him in a low voice.

"Junior brother, please thank Elder Jiu for your gift. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

However, Zhou Yiqiao did not show any joy at all, but looked at Song Yang with confusion.

"What does this mean?"

Song Yang slapped his head and realized that he hadn't explained it to Zhou Yiqiao yet.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the wine elder in front of him speak.

"You should have seen all the way here just now that the energy contained in the spirit stones here is extremely rich, and it has reached a level where you can mine it casually without any problems."

"When the top leaders of the Demon Sect first discovered this place, they paid great attention to it. They almost sent all the Yuanying disciples who had no important matters in the sect to this place to mine spiritual stones."

"But as time went by, strange changes occurred in these disciples involved in mining."

"Every disciple who has stayed here for a long time, after leaving here, seems to have turned back into a mortal overnight. No matter what, he cannot feel the spiritual power between heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly spoke, interrupting Elder Jiu's statement.

"Psychophobia!?"

"good."

Elder Jiu nodded slowly. Not only was he not dissatisfied with Zhou Yiqiao's interruption, but he looked at Zhou Yiqiao with great approval.

"It is exactly the symptoms that would appear in some monks only in ancient times when spiritual power was extremely abundant."

The so-called spiritual aversion syndrome refers to the fact that after some monks stay in an area with too much spiritual energy for too long, the monk's ability to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will adapt to this environment and rapidly degrade in a short period of time.

When the monk leaves this environment, his already degraded sensing ability will no longer be able to sense the ordinary spiritual power between heaven and earth, and he will no longer be able to practice as usual.

Zhou Yiqiao frowned, his face solemn.

"Psychophobia only appeared in ancient times. As the spiritual power in the world was continuously consumed by monks, it became increasingly thin and has long since disappeared in the long river of time."

"As this symptom disappears, the method of curing anisophobia is no longer effective, and its elixir has been lost long ago!"

As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed.

"Does the elder mean that the disciples should solve the problem of spiritual aversion!?"

The elder Jiu nodded and stared at Zhou Yiqiao with a smile.

"Song Yang said that your alchemy skills are superb, and your understanding of the alchemy path must be far beyond ordinary people, so I thought of letting you give it a try."

"Don't worry, no matter how talented you are, you are only a fourth-level alchemist now."

"There are so many old guys in the Demon Sect who have not been solved. Even if you fail in the end, no one will blame you."

"On the contrary, as long as you make some achievements in this matter, I will not only take credit from the sect for you, but I will also reward you with some treasures privately!"

"But......"

Zhou Yiqiao was quite hesitant.

"There's nothing else to lose. Junior brother, you have no loss on either side, and it can be said to be the easiest position in the camp!"

Song Yang suddenly spoke, as if he was even more eager than Zhou Yiqiao.

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao lowered his eyes slightly and pondered for a long time. He raised his head and looked at Elder Jiu with a look of expectation on his face, and nodded solemnly.

"The elders and senior brothers trust each other so much. If the disciple refuses, he is being ignorant. I agree!"
