Chapter 1645: The Story of the Ancient Mine

Silver Moon Country is located on the edge of the Northern Territory. It snows for months in winter and the climate is cold.

On the border of Silver Moon Country, there is a mountain. Outside the mountain is a river. There is not a temple but a city beside the river.

The city is not large, but there is a spiritual fairy palace, which attracts many monks.

It was noon.

The snow was all over the sky, and the biting cold wind whistled through the city, making the mortals living inside shrink their necks. Even those monks with great Taoism could not help but wrap their coats tightly.

At the gate of the city, a figure was hunched over, rubbing his hands and breathing, looking extremely cold.

This figure was a thin young man with a pair of dark circles under his eyes. He looked like a dandy who indulged himself too much, but he was only wearing a simple linen shirt. This image was not related to a rich man.

"Hey, Bao Ting, are you fooling people again?"

"Tsk tsk, he waits for those outsiders here every day, does he think everyone is a fool and can be easily fooled by him?"

"That's right, look at his poor appearance, he knows how to cheat every day, and he is not afraid that those who are fooled by him will come back to trouble him."

"..."

The man was rubbing his hands to keep warm, and suddenly there were several sneers coming from the city.

He raised his head, and there were several monks of about his age standing in front of him, looking at him with a mocking look on their faces.

"Go! How many times have I told you that I'm called Bao Da Ting, not Bao Ting." The man was dissatisfied and said, "Besides, how can I fool people? There is nothing in this area that I, Bao Da Ting, don't know, and I have met many big figures."

"Oh!"

A young man in his twenties showed an exaggerated look and said, "From what you said, it seems that you have really seen the world. Then tell me, which big figures have you met?"

The remaining young people also laughed.

They are all immortal cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining. The young man named "Bao Ting" has a lower cultivation level, at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but he calls himself Bao Da Ting. He plays the role of a know-it-all at the city gate all day long, and spreads everywhere that he knows everything about the strange stories in the vicinity.

In addition, he has boasted to the major families of Yinyue Country more than once, saying that he has met such and such big figures with profound Taoism.

And those who are familiar with him know that this person has no other skills, but he is good at fooling people.

Almost every day, he can be seen sitting at the gate. Flirting here has become an after-dinner entertainment for these cultivators.

"It seems that you will not give up even if I don't tell you." Bao Ting curled his lips, raised his nose, and said: "Do you know the Cang Yuan Sect, the first sect of our Yinyue Kingdom?"

"I know, so what?"

"The genius elder Yuan Hai of the Cang Yuan Sect has been here before. I introduced him to the Lingxian Mansion at the beginning." Bao Ting said proudly: "At that time, in addition to him, there were also elders from the major families of our Yinyue Kingdom. They all had extraordinary cultivation. To be honest, I have also seen some great masters in the Jindan realm among the six sects in the Northern Territory."

"Nonsense, Jindan realm figures, not to mention in Yinyue Kingdom, are also at the top level in the Northern Territory. Just because you are a small figure squatting at the gate of the city, you can meet them just by saying it."

Several young cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage were stunned at first, and then laughed loudly, not believing his words at all.

"Believe it or not." Bao Ting ignored them.

"By the way, I heard that you are here to sell information to those foreign cultivators, just to earn spirit stones from them to enter the Lingxian Mansion for cultivation, but seeing that you have been unable to even step into the threshold of the Lingxian Mansion for so many years!" Someone sneered.

"Who said I haven't been in!" Bao Ting seemed to be stabbed in pain, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he jumped up and said: "I don't know how many big figures I have led in the past. No matter what, I can only watch from afar. And now I am just one last order away, and I will soon be able to collect spirit stones to enter the Lingxian Mansion to choose a spirit room."

"If you continue to squat for another ten or eight years, you will not be able to enter the Lingxian Mansion! And you are complacent about this!" A girl at the eighth level of Qi Refining said mercilessly.

"Tsk."

Bao Ting rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to them.

The faces of those young cultivators sank.

They came here to find a sense of achievement. The more Bao Ting was suppressed, the more they felt superior. Now the other party actually turned their face away from them. With their usual arrogance, how could they tolerate it?

At that moment, a young man in luxurious clothes spoke up: "Bao Ting, didn't you say that you went to a place with ancient mines a few days ago? In my opinion, you might as well sell this news to those immortal cultivation forces. Maybe they will reward you with spiritual stones if they are happy, and you don't have to stay here every day."

After these words came out, there was another round of laughter.

"It's ridiculous that he found an ancient mine with his cultivation level."

"If he can find an ancient mine, we can also get a rare treasure."

"And if this is true, why doesn't he bring the ancient mine back directly? Why does he need to sell the news here?"

Everyone looked at Bao Ting with contempt.

Bao Ting laughed and said: "You are right, I am planning to sell the news of the ancient mine, but this ancient mine is very valuable, and ordinary forces may not be able to afford it. Now I am not afraid to tell you that it is not that I don't want to bring the ancient mine out, but there are great dangers inside, and I don't want to end up dying for money."

Everyone rolled their eyes and didn't believe it at all.

Bao Ting didn't bother to explain. He turned around and kept searching, trying to find some suitable targets for him to attack.

At this moment, someone suddenly put a hand on his shoulder.

"Get out of my way! Don't think you can bully others because there are so many of you!" Bao Tingting threw away his hand impatiently without looking back, but suddenly felt like a mountain on his shoulders, unable to move his body.

"Where is the ancient mine you just mentioned?"

A slightly deep voice sounded in his ears, and Bao Ting turned around with a change of expression. Unknown to him, a middle-aged man in luxurious brocade clothes appeared next to him. His breath enveloped him like a vast sea, making him breathless.

The few young monks who were mocking him in the city were already shrinking there with pale faces, not daring to make any sound.

"You...you are the elder of the Yang family, senior Yang Rui!" Bao Ting looked at the middle-aged man and his body shook violently.

"Do you recognize me?" The middle-aged man seemed a little surprised.

Bao Ting nodded quickly, with a look of horror on his face.

This person is an elder of the Yang family who has achieved some level of spiritual transformation. The Yang family is famous in the Silver Moon Kingdom. Bao Ting saw Yang Rui coming here a few years ago.

"I just heard that you want to go to Lingxian Mansion to practice?" Yang Rui said.

Bao Ting nodded honestly and did not dare to speak.

"Tell me the news about the ancient mine, and I will take you to Lingxian Mansion." Yang Rui raised the bag with one hand and walked towards the city.

Several young monks looked at each other.

"Bao Ting really knows the seniors of the Yang family. How is this possible?"

"It must be fake. The Yang family's strength ranks among the top three in Silver Moon Country. There are so many masters in the family. How can this kid know them?"

"I just heard that senior Yang Rui seemed to be asking him about the ancient mine. Could it be that Bao Ting really got lucky and saw some rare mineral vein?"

"..."

Several people looked shocked.

At this time, Yang Rui had already brought Baoting to the Lingxian Mansion in the city, threw him to inquire about him, then took out a "five" Lingxian Order and said to the person in charge of registration at the front desk: "Arrange a meeting for him. The cost of the spiritual chamber is mine."

Soon, Bao Ting was ecstatic to get the use of a first-grade spiritual chamber.

But when he raised his head, he suddenly froze.

In the hall on the first floor of Lingxian Mansion, powerful figures appeared one after another, and in his memory, he had seen these people before.

"Yang Tiefeng, the head of the Yang family, and Qi Yunsheng, the patriarch of the Qi family, they... are all strong men in the spirit transformation realm!"

Bao Ting was a little stunned.

The people sitting here are all famous figures from the Silver Moon Kingdom.

"Hey, that is... Zhou Xing, the eldest son of the Zhou family of the Yunhan Kingdom? It is said that the Zhou family is backed by the Tianxing Sect and does not easily interact with the major families of the Silver Moon Kingdom. How could they appear here?"

Although Bao Ting's cultivation level was low, he had traveled a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to call himself "Bao Ting" at the gate of the city. Seeing so many important people now, he suddenly felt scared to death.

Although there were many monks in the city rushing towards Lingxian Mansion in the past, there had never been such a powerful gathering.

Besides, Lingxian Mansion is available everywhere, so they don't have to come all the way here.

"Is it because of that ancient mine..." Bao Ting vaguely guessed something, his heart trembled wildly, and he had the urge to return the spiritual chamber to Yang Rui.

"Come here and tell us everything you know. Maybe we will give you some extra rewards." Yang Rui waved and brought Bao Ting among the powerful men.

Bao Ting looked like he was crying, but he didn't dare to disobey.

At this time, he saw an old man sitting next to Young Master Zhou. His cultivation aura was much more tyrannical than the heads of several aristocratic families present. Bao Ting accidentally glanced at it and felt as if he was trapped in an abyss, so depressed. Desire suffocates.

"Such a terrifying aura, could it be a master of the Golden Core Realm!" Bao Ting suddenly sat up.

Suddenly so many powerful people gathered in this small border city, something big must happen.

What frightened him even more was that there was not only an old man with such a vast aura in the hall, but also two old men with gray hair like him, wearing Taoist robes. At first glance, they looked like ordinary mortals, but in fact they had profound auras. They were obviously A supreme monk with superb Taoism.

Bao Ting swallowed a sip of saliva, looked at the powerful experts, and then said in a trembling voice: "To return to my seniors, I did find an ancient mine, about ninety miles away from here, surrounded by several peaks, and inside. A sinkhole..."

"Sinkhole? How did you get in?" Yang Rui asked.

Bao Ting looked solemn and said: "To tell you what the senior said, the villain accidentally discovered a path that leads from the outside of the mountain to the bottom of the sinkhole. The villain discovered the ancient mine inside."

After a pause, Bao Ting hesitated again: "But..."

"Say!" the young master of the Zhou family shouted lightly.

Bao Ting trembled when he heard the sound and said hurriedly: "Although I was lucky enough to see the ancient mine, there is a magma pool under the sinkhole. I'm afraid no one can go deep into it!"
