Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife

There is little meat and many wolves. If it is distributed equally, it is obvious that the major forces will lose the meaning of coming here.

Led by the five major families and with the approval of the four major sects, all major forces reached a unanimous consensus.

The black gold mine was divided into ten parts, and each of them sent out a young man under the age of 100 to compete in order to determine the ownership of the black gold mine.

The top four winners of the competition will be selected, and their rewards will be determined by the proportion of 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, and so on.

Those with higher cultivation and more knowledge can better understand the value of black gold stone. To be precise, it is a special substance extracted from black gold and has extremely high value.

Black gold will melt into liquid when it exceeds its melting point.

If the refiner uses some special means to remove the liquid metal that accounts for the largest proportion, and then sifts out various impurities over and over again, the very small part that is left is called black soul juice.

"Po" means soul and spirit.

Black soul juice is as rare as the soul in black gold.

It is an extremely rare substance in liquid form and perhaps can no longer be called a metal.

Black soul juice is not only the top-grade material for refining magical instruments, but can also be consumed by intelligent magical instruments as nutrients to strengthen the instrument.

I heard that the black soul juice extracted from the black gold beneath Black Stone City helped strengthen a heavenly grade magic weapon and upgrade it to an immortal weapon.

Of course, the powerful ones were highly respected and proud of their status, so it was inconvenient for them to take action to fight for the throne, so they sent out the talented youngsters in their sects.

Several decades ago, the Xuantian Immortal Sect sent out Xuanwei, who later became the Lingtian Pavilion Immortal Master and the number one righteous cultivator.

Xuanwei naturally defeated all the geniuses, won the first place, and won the ownership of 40% of the black gold mine for Xuantian Immortal Sect.

The other three are the direct descendant of the Zhongzhou Shui family, the first disciple of Xiaoyao Mountain, and the Demon King who sneaked in to cause trouble.

As a result, a battle between the major forces in Zhongzhou was divided up by the Demon Realm, which took away 30% of the ownership.

It was once considered a laughing stock.

Of course, most people wouldn't dare to make fun of it.

Except Qi Wu Yue.

Although the black gold mine under Black Rock City was divided up by several major forces, they were also dividing up large pieces of high-quality ore.

As for those scattered broken ore with too many impurities, they were abandoned because they were difficult to collect and the extraction process was cumbersome and troublesome.

Things that the big forces look down upon are like the broth left over after all the meat has been taken away by the scattered forces, and are also rare resources.

Countless small families also competed fiercely for it, and some of them settled down there, taking turns from generation to generation and becoming the indigenous residents.

But even if it's just broth, some slightly stronger forces would also like to come and take a sip.

As a result, affiliated sects of all sizes emerged like mushrooms after a rain.

With the support of a powerful force, you can rest assured that you only need to hand over spirit stones within a certain range every year.

These affiliated sects apparently developed rapidly, and within just a few years they had grown to a small scale. Later, their momentum once surpassed that of several major families in Blackrock City.

The Huofeng Sect is one of these affiliated sects.

Half a month ago, disciples stationed in the Huo Feng Sect reported that there were signs of ghost cultivation activities in the city.

even.

It seems that the leader of Huo Feng Sect has a secret deal with the ghost cultivator, intending to rebel against the control of the academy.

Righteous cultivators care the most about their reputation. If they really get involved with evil cultivators, it would be like throwing their reputation and face to the ground and trampling on them repeatedly.

Even if it is just a subsidiary sect.

Because of the Half-Step Immortal, the academy has always been known as the number one academy in the continent, so naturally the feather beaks are even rarer.

Moreover, it would be a waste of time to give up a mere affiliated sect, but it would be a loss if we were to suffer shame because of it.

Qi Wu Yue and Xiao Lin's mission this time is to investigate the ghost cultivators, confirm whether Huo Fengzong is colluding with the ghost cultivators, and finally pass the exact information to the academy.

However, since it was just an investigation, they couldn't be too ostentatious, so the two changed their clothes before entering the city.

The Huo Feng Sect has been rooted in Black Stone City for decades. Not to mention that there are more than a thousand disciples in the sect, there must be a lot of spies as well.

If you are still wearing your college uniform, it will be obvious to others.

Hi! We're here to check you out.

"The entrance fee is five spirit stones, ten spirit stones for two people." The monk guarding the city looked at them coldly and said.

This is the annoying thing about Zhongzhou. You have to pay to enter any city.

Do you really think you are in some kind of blessed land of immortals? In the devil's realm or the demon's realm, there are no such unnecessary and random charges.

A city is not a private space, a mountain is not a river, nor is it a landscape. Yet, both entering and exiting require spirit stones. Qi Wu Yue immediately frowned.

Xiao Lin took his hand and held it gently, then shook his head slightly.

Qi Wu Yue endured it, snorted, and looked away.

Xiao Lin handed over the spirit stones, and the two of them entered the city smoothly.

As soon as we entered the city, a sharp-eyed guide came up to us and said with a smile, "You two look unfamiliar. Is this your first time in Black Stone City?

I wonder what you two want to buy, what you want to go shopping for, or what you want to look for?

The villain Wang Liu is very familiar with this Black Stone City and can find his way around it with his eyes closed.

We know clearly which magic weapon has a good reputation, which elixir is most effective, and which store is the most unscrupulous and deceptive.

If I lead the way for you two, I guarantee that those people will not be able to rip off your guests."

After all, this was their first time in Black Stone City. If they wanted to investigate the Huo Feng Sect, they would inevitably have to ask the locals for information.

Xiao Lin looked at the guide who called himself Wang Liu, who looked to be in his thirties. His cultivation was not high, only at the third level, and his eyes were bright and sharp.

This person must have been guiding outsiders into the city for a long time and making a living from it.

Xiao Lin asked, "Fellow Daoist, have you been in Black Stone City for many years?"

Seeing that Xiao Lin was somewhat interested, Wang Liu hurriedly promoted himself even more vigorously, "Of course, of course, you can ask me to be your guide. You only need to spend five spirit stones, and I can lead you two around Black Stone City for a day."

Xiao Lin nodded and took out a bottle of Guiyuan Pill. "This bottle of pill is worth hundreds of spirit stones. Leading the way is secondary. We want to learn some things about the city from you. If the result is satisfactory, this bottle of pill will be yours."

One Guiyuan Pill is worth five spirit stones. There are thirty of them in this bottle, which is one hundred and fifty spirit stones.

Wang Liu's eyes widened as he looked at the Guiyuan Pill. This customer was very generous and offered thirty times his price.

He said excitedly, "You have found the right person. I have been in Black Rock City for many years and have always been well-informed. I know exactly what happened."

Xiao Lin nodded. Even when facing people whose cultivation was not as good as his, he was always gentle, polite and friendly.

"In that case, thank you for your help."

People like him are exactly the kind of disciples that the old-fashioned people in the immortal sect like most.

Neither humble nor arrogant, gentle as jade.

In the past, when Qi Wu Yue met such people, he would always spit on them as hypocritical, false benevolence and pretentious.

But looking at Xiao Lin, he felt that this was a manifestation of his child being polite, well-educated and good-tempered, which was absolutely true.

Don't be too obvious with double standards.
