The system is the proficiency panel

"Is this Tianyuan Star?"

Looking at the vast plains and numerous craters and impact craters ahead, Pu Jianxing, who was here for the first time, asked curiously.

"Yes, it's really an uncomfortable place, but Daozi is right, there are indeed a lot of good things. This thing is just a gift for meeting you."

The person standing by smiled and threw a silver metal ball over, then continued walking back.

"Pu Jianxing, you can get familiar with this place first, and then we can discuss how to deal with the ant king."

Pu Jianxing caught the metal ball with some surprise, feeling the energy fluctuations in it. He was a little confused as to why Hou Guan was so generous. He nodded, put it away, and strolled on the barren land.

The monks' residence has changed a lot compared to a year ago. It has moved from underground caves to the ground. They have built their own cities and courtyards, and arranged formations to resist the intrusion of the environment. Although a lot of spirit stones are consumed, it doesn't matter. There are too many spirit stone mines in this place. Except for the ants who have mined some, there are no signs that the others have been touched. It's harmless to waste some.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Send the spiritual materials first, and then the spiritual stones. The distance between the planets will soon increase, and the distance of the portal will not be enough."

A young foundation-building monk shouted loudly. He was wearing a gray-white robe and directing a group of monks to work busy. Boxes of spirit stones and spiritual materials were sent into the portal and disappeared. It was not that they did not want to use space rings and other things to store them, but the quantity was too large and the space they brought was not enough to store the items.

Sitting not far away, Zi Tong was drinking the spiritual tea that was newly cultivated on Tianyuan Star. Bai Liao Wu Lai had to watch all this and supervise the place to prevent any accidents.

The portal closed after more than ten minutes, and it would take another year for it to open again. When a new female monk thought of this, she felt a little depressed.

"Don't be sad. There's nothing wrong with staying here. You'll get plenty of spiritual stones if you have nothing to do, and no one will scold you. Believe me, those who go back will regret it sooner or later."

A mature female cultivator with a familiar personality patted her on the shoulder and spoke to comfort the little girl.

……

In a small world made of water, Pu Jianxing sat cross-legged in the air, glanced at the surrounding scene, chuckled and said to the two people opposite.

"It seems that Master Zi Tong has gained a lot from this trip to Tianyuan Star. He can already use the water rules in the outside world. I guess Master Hou Guan is almost the same, right?"

"With this kind of eyesight, he is worthy of being the strongest among all the sword sects in history."

Hou Guan stroked his beard and laughed out loud. They looked at each other in flattery and admiration. He wanted to continue chatting for a few more words when he was interrupted by his junior sister.

"Brother, don't delay the business. We will have plenty of time to talk later."

Hou Guan curled his lips, hummed in dissatisfaction, and then looked at Pu Jianxing seriously.

"Our mission is to capture the Ant King, the Gold Devourer. Its lair is on the opposite side of the planet. In order to prevent Tianyuan Star from being destroyed by the battle, we will lead the Ant King to the universe first. Before it finds out something is wrong, Pu Jianxing, you must cut off its retreat. After that, it will be three against one, and there will be no need for any strategies. We will catch it sooner or later."

"Catch the Ant King? There will be many variables. Besides, the mission given by City Lord Luo is to cooperate with you to kill it. Why do you have to go to so much trouble to catch it?"

Pu Jianxing asked after hearing that. His expression was relaxed. He asked only because he wanted to know the reason, not because he was afraid of trouble. He considered himself the strongest under Yuanying Zhenjun as he used the sword realm regardless of the injury caused by the rules.

"Kill it? That's a waste. We can get more benefits by catching it."

Changing from his previous peaceful tone, Hou Guan spoke coldly, his eyes fixed on Pu Jianxing.

"According to the information we have found, the full name of the Ant Tribe is the Gold-Eating Ant. They have the ability to devour ordinary metals and process them into higher-grade metals. The higher the cultivation level of the Gold-Eating Ant, the better the quality of the metal they process. For example, the metal ball I gave you was produced by a Gold-Eating Ant with foundation-building combat power. Are you interested now?"

Pu Jianxing was stunned after hearing this. He couldn't believe it. The material of the metal ball was very good and could be used to refine magic weapons. He was curious about why Hou Guan was so generous. He didn't expect that a foundation-building gold-eating ant could make it. What about the ant king? What quality of metal can be processed by the strength of the golden elixir?

He was tempted by the idea that this metal might be the key to his breakthrough.

"When to act?"

"Don't worry. According to the rules, a special sandstorm will appear on Tianyuan Star tomorrow that will cover half of the planet. This sandstorm will hinder the exploration of spiritual power. The Ant King's spiritual power is not as strong as that of the Golden Core. If you are not careful, he will miss you. That will be your chance."

Hou Guan spoke calmly. Pu Jianxing took a deep breath and suppressed his inner excitement.

"Since it's planned, I'll just wait for good news."

Pu Jianxing said this and left the water world.

……

The next day, the sandstorm arrived as expected. The sky was covered with dim sand and the wind was howling like wolves and tigers, as if announcing its arrival to the world. The sunlight was swaying in the turbid sky, like a candle flame being fiddled with by the wind, which could go out at any time.

Several thousand meters below the raging natural disaster, Gold Eater ate a piece of golden essence with the crackling sound of Kaba, practicing hard to achieve a golden body as soon as possible. He did not care about what happened on the ground.

"Little Ant, come up and reminisce about the past!"

Suddenly, a very penetrating old voice came from the ground, shaking the silver palace and stunning the hard-working gold-eating ants around it. This made the huge figure in the center of the palace furious and disappeared in an instant.

boom!

A loud bang echoed on the ground, dispersing the surrounding sandstorm and revealing a huge hole. A pair of green eyes shone in the hole, staring straight at the old man in front.

"Hou Guan, you are looking for death!"

The huge figure roared, and its huge body shrank by more than half in an instant, and an ant's foot with silver and gold in it stepped down from above.

Hou Guan raised his arms to block the attack. The huge ant's legs were so powerful that they numbed Hou Guan's arms, but he still blocked the fierce attack.

"Gold Devourer, you're really ruthless this time. Aren't you afraid that I can dodge it? You've punched through the earth's crust below? You're really reckless. Let's fight outside!"

Hou Guan shouted, took a wrong step, and instantly came in front of the shrunken but still huge body, and punched out.

"Vajra Fist!"

This blow was like the collision of a small star. The terrifying force acted directly on the Gold Eater, making a clanging sound of metal collision. The body only sank slightly and was not injured, but it was still knocked away.

Hou Guan then took advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy. The two fought fiercely in the air tens of thousands of meters above the ground. Explosions were heard from time to time, and the aftermath cracked the ground below into pieces in the distance. Sand and gravel rolled, and the ground close to the battle side shook continuously.
