Chapter 474 Guarding the Soul Mine

Gu Shiyi's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he said to Pu Yanlan,
"Yan'er, why don't we become her disciple?"

She pointed at Liu Yan's name in the book and said, Mu Xun was surprised.
"This girl is the least impressive among the several disciples. Why does Fellow Daoist Gu want to become her disciple?"

Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"Brother Mu, you don't know. Look at this booklet. It lists countless disciples of Kuang Fu Zong, but Liu Yan is the only female disciple. Although she has the weakest power, she is in charge of the internal affairs of Bafang City. Kuang Fu Zong will not let an outsider take such an important position. Don't underestimate her!"

Musun nodded when he heard this.

"Friend Gu sees it very clearly!"

"Then who do you plan to serve, Brother Mu?"

Mu Xun thought for a moment and said,
"If you guys are going to stir up the cold stove, then I will go and warm up the scene and sit under the seat of the eldest senior brother... This way... we can complement each other when we have news!"

"it is good!"

After the three of them discussed for a while, they agreed on a time and place to meet in the future. Then they went to meet Fan Sui and Liu Yan according to the places recorded in the booklet. Without mentioning Mu Xun for the time being, only Shiyi and Pu Yanlan went to meet Liu Yan. This woman lived in the palace city, but she also had her own mansion outside, which was said to be used to receive disciples.

When the two arrived at the mansion, the gatekeeper saw their clothes and led them in like a familiar person. They sat down in a small living room. Soon someone came to meet them. Because the two of them had restrained their aura and only said that they were in the foundation-building stage, Liu Yan naturally would not come to meet them in person. He only sent his disciple, named Wan Gu, to come out.

The aura of the Wangu Temple should be in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and they were quite polite to others. After briefly asking about the two's identities and origins, and why they came to Bafang City, they arranged for them to live in the backyard.

Gu Shiyi and the others had officially settled down in Bafang City. Mu Xun also got arrangements, but he was much worse off than Gu Shiyi and the others. He lived in a large bunk bed room with 16 people, unlike Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan who had their own room. They lived in the east room, while the north and west rooms were already occupied by people, all female monks.

Gu Shiyi was not someone who could sit still. He wanted to go around and socialize with people, but he was turned away twice. Both sides refused to see him, claiming that they were meditating and secluded and would not see outsiders. Gu Shiyi was not angry, but came back and asked Pu Yanlan in surprise,
"Are the people here so cold and aloof?"

Pu Yanlan said,

"I'm afraid there are rules, we just don't know them since we're new here!"

Sure enough, the next day, Aunt Wan called the two of them to her and talked about the rules here.

"Our master has a cold personality and doesn't like the subordinates to have too much contact with him. If there is something, we will call you together to talk. If there is nothing, you can practice on your own..."

Afterwards, he announced many taboos in the palace, and also announced the salary and benefits of the monks.
"You are new members, and can only be considered the lowest level. After you do things for the building, it will be recorded in the merit book. When the merits are enough, you will be promoted to the next level. Now... you will receive one spirit stone and one pill every month, and your daily food and accommodation will be arranged by the mansion..."

Pu Yanlan thought about it and asked about the thing she was most concerned about.
"Is there a place in that building where one can read books and learn martial arts?"

Aunt Wan glanced at her and said approvingly,
"It seems that you are a humble and eager-to-learn man. We naturally have many techniques in our building that you can borrow from us. However, you need to spend spirit stones on them. And your level is too low, so there are many techniques that we won't let you read even if you give us spirit stones..."

She smiled and said,
"So... if you want to read more martial arts manuals, you must contribute more to the sect!"

The two of them knew the rules here, so they decided to stay in the mansion with peace of mind. Every day, they followed the example of the people in the same courtyard and closed the door tightly to meditate indoors. In fact, the spiritual energy in this continent had long been exhausted. Practicing in a densely populated city like Bafang City, except for the foul and mixed air in the city, there is not even a single spiritual energy to breathe in. No one knew what these people were practicing for.

On the other hand, Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan were provided with elixirs every day. They poured the elixirs that aided their cultivation into their mouths as if they were free, without any regret. Pu Yanlan's early Jindan stage was now stable and she was moving towards the middle stage. Although Gu Shiyi was pregnant now, except that her appetite had increased a lot, she was the same as if she was not pregnant.

In fact, Gu Shiyi is not as hardworking as her best friend. She can meditate for ten hours at a time, and sometimes she even skips eating and sleeping. Gu Shiyi only meditates for two hours a day, and eats and drinks the rest of the time, and falls asleep when the time comes. Pu Yanlan, who has worked so hard to make a little progress, is very envious of her state. Although this mansion provides food and accommodation, the food is not very good. Gu Shiyi has a big appetite and wants to eat meat, so the food is naturally far from enough. Fortunately, this mansion does not restrict people from coming in and out. She has to go out to find food and have a big meal of meat at noon every day.

Ten days after they arrived here, Wan Gu called the monks from each courtyard to the main hall early in the morning. There were about 200 to 300 people in the hall.

"This time, there is news from above that a spiritual stone mine has been discovered in the territory of my Bafang City. Forces from all sides have rushed to rob it. Our monks are desperately guarding it. Are you willing to help my Bafang City?"

Lingshi mine?
Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other,
Tsk tsk! They made it more difficult right from the start!

The cultivators here have become crazy about their desire for spiritual stones. The discovery of a spiritual stone mine will surely attract the covetousness of all parties. The fight between the powerful and the powerful will surely be fierce, and all the masters will come out. Aunt Wan seemed to have seen through everyone's thoughts and said,
"My fellow Taoists, as the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger, and the same is true for the spirit stones. Everyone knows what the current situation is, and our building owner naturally knows it too. So the building owner said that as long as we seize this spirit stone mine, we can reward each Taoist according to their merits, and the lowest reward is 100 low-grade spirit stones!"

After hearing this, the crowd began to move. One hundred low-grade spirit stones could be equivalent to waiting here for more than ten years. If they were lucky and performed a great deed, they might even get a thousand spirit stones!

Now everyone wanted to participate, so Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan naturally followed the trend.

So that day, everyone packed up and got ready to set off. The two or three hundred cultivators, led by Aunt Wan, flew to the outside of Bafang City in an orderly manner. There were also cultivators' escape lights from all over the city that kept flying over. Soon, a team of about a thousand people gathered above Bafang City. Looking at the colorful escape lights filling the sky, it was quite spectacular. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan found Mu Xun's figure in the team of the eldest brother Fan Sui. The three of them looked at each other and turned their heads away as if they didn't know each other!
They flew in silence all the way to the edge of the field. When they were still four or five miles away, they could already see the colorful lights flying in the air, and the occasional loud explosions. This grand scene was the first time that Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan had ever seen in their lives. Gu Shiyi leaned close to Pu Yanlan's ear and said,
"How can we distinguish between friend and foe when the fighting is so chaotic?"

Pu Yanlan responded,
"Let's hear what they say."

As expected, the leader, Wan Gu, stopped everyone and flew to the front to discuss with the leaders of each group for a while. Then Wan Gu flew back and said,

"Our people up ahead have already started fighting with various groups of people. Our people on the ground have been guarding the entrance to the mine. Our group is going to reinforce our comrades on the ground. You follow me!" Tsk tsk!

Gu Shiyi winked at Pu Yanlan.

"This force is small and weak. The elder brother and the second junior brother have hundreds of people. Instead of going to the ground to help, they asked us to defend it. Anyway, it's better for me to die than for my fellow Taoists!"

Many people in the team thought of this and looked a little dissatisfied, but they did not object and followed Wan Gu forward, while the others continued to fly towards the fierce battle in the air. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan followed the team to descend and move forward along the hill.

This spiritual stone mine is located in a hilly area with rolling hills. The entrance is on a hill. The monks from Bafang City guarding the entrance are already exhausted and can hardly hold on. When they see the reinforcements coming from the sky, they are immediately encouraged. However, the monks besieging them are all alert.

"It seems like they are about to be conquered, but reinforcements have arrived from Bafang City!"

At that moment, about a hundred people rushed towards them. Wan Gu shouted loudly,
"Fellow Taoists, please show your magical powers!"

At that moment, everyone dispersed and each took out their magic weapons. Some of them started fighting in mid-air, while others lowered their escape lights and ran to the ground to fight with others.

It was also the first time for Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan to encounter such a big battle. They were inexperienced and didn't know how to deal with it. They put their heads together and discussed in a low voice. Gu Shiyi took the lead, taking out his hatchet and chopping all the way. Pu Yanlan released Hongyi and a group of little ghosts from behind to protect them. The two of them joined forces, and when they met someone he could beat, Gu Shiyi would go up and chop with his knife first, and then engage in close combat. If they met someone he couldn't deal with, Pu Yanlan would use a magic weapon in one hand and make a spell with the other, commanding Hongyi and other evil ghosts to attack them.

The two of them were in tune with each other, and there was no difference between two people and one person. They fought in perfect harmony, advancing and retreating in moderation, and cooperating seamlessly, leaving many cultivators powerless to resist. Those who could compete with Gu Shiyi with magic weapons were not as strong as Gu Shiyi in close combat, and those who were stronger than Gu Shiyi could not defend against Pu Yanlan's evil spirits, nor the magic weapons that Pu Yanlan would use to attack from time to time. The two of them killed their way all the way and actually rushed to the entrance of the spirit stone mine.

The monk guarding the mine was overjoyed when he saw this and asked hurriedly,
"Who is coming?"

Gu Shiyi responded,

"We are the followers of Master Liu Yan, and we have come here to help you fellow Taoists out of danger!"

Everyone was delighted to hear that. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan lowered their escape lights and stood guard at the mine entrance, fighting the enemy together with everyone else. However, the mine entrance was very narrow and the people from Bafang City had already set up a magic circle. Everyone relied on the power of the magic circle to resist the invaders. Some of them came too close, while others had very sharp magic weapons, so they also used their magic weapons to fight back. Gu Shiyi was good at close combat, and the hatchet in her hand was not a top-grade one, and was not as good as Pu Yanlan's Eight Treasures Glazed Box. When the eight-colored quicksand in her hand was poured out, many monks who were touched screamed and retreated to the back. Everyone was cheered up when they saw it.

Seeing this, a two-meter-tall, armored man on the opposite side rushed up waving a mace and hit the magic circle with one blow.

"boom……"

There was a loud bang and the entire magic circle was shaking. Pu Yanlan quickly released the quicksand. The armor on the man's body flashed and the quicksand immediately split to the left and right.
"boom……"

The man hit him with another stick, and someone shouted,

"The armor on this man is a magical weapon, and its defense is very strong..."

Pu Yanlan saw this and quickly took back her Eight Color Quicksand. Gu Shiyi saw this and jumped out with his hatchet.
"You guys help me, let me go meet him!"

After saying that, he rushed to the man. At this time, blood-red scales were floating under Gu Shiyi's clothes, and the same was true on his face and neck.

"Bah..."

She shouted loudly and slashed at the man's chest with her knife. The man relied on his magical weapon to defend himself, but he did not dodge and rushed towards Gu Shiyi's hatchet.

"boom……"

There was a sound, not a sound of metal hitting metal, but a sound of collision. Although Gu Shiyi's sword did not break the opponent's armor, it relied on its huge power to push the opponent back a dozen feet.

"Roar……"

The monks here couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw this. Is this still a woman?
So much strength?

Someone with discerning eyes saw it.

"She is a demon!"

No wonder he has such great strength!
Ever since Wei Xun, the owner of the 108th floor of Guanshan Tower, made an alliance with King Tianyu, many monsters have entered the human territory. It is not surprising to see monsters in Guanshan Tower. When everyone saw that after Gu Shiyi chopped once, he still had the strength to chopped three times in a row, and chopped the strong man back several feet in one breath, they couldn't help but cheer loudly. In war, no matter whether it is a mortal or a cultivator, it all depends on momentum, especially in this kind of group fight. If a person like Gu Shiyi, who is imposing and brave, appears, the momentum of one's side will be greatly enhanced.

Gu Shiyi's mighty and brave hacking and slashing were truly a miracle of great strength. Even the man wearing magic weapons and armor could not resist. The morale of the guards at the upper and lower cave entrances was greatly boosted when they saw this, and they all shouted,

"Charge! Kill!"

Rushing out of the magic circle, Pu Yanlan and Gu Shiyi chased after the other party. She did not move. She sent Hongyi to follow Gu Shiyi closely, while she stayed in the magic circle and watched the guards here chase the other monks who were besieging this place for a mile.
