is old Taoist will refine the pills for him free of charge. Although this old Taoist's alchemy skills cannot compare to the several masters, he can have seven or eight out of ten chances of success. O...'Pff!'

The ebony sword easily cut through a thin layer of stone, indeed sharper than Kong Xin's blue light sword.

>

Kong Xin watched the Wumu Sword display its might, his mouth filled with admiration. "What a fine sword! Every artifact your Daoist friend wields is so impressive, I am in awe!"

Qin Sang said indifferently, "This poor Dao has only managed to obtain a few handy artifacts by chance, and he doesn't deserve such praise from his fellow cultivators. If I were to experience such dangerous situations again, even more artifacts wouldn't be able to save this poor Dao's life. What do you think" Qin Sang's words were laced with barbs, containing a veiled warning.

Kong Xin smiled and pointed to the sky, swearing: "Fellow Daoists, as you have just seen, the cave ahead is the exit. We will soon be able to confirm! I assure you, I have no intention of harming anyone. I am only afraid of leaking the news in advance, just in case, so I resorted to this trick. If I lie, please do whatever you wish with me! I swear, this is a one-time thing, and I will not repeat it!"

The ebony sword danced, slicing off pieces of stone with each swing.

Gradually, starlight flickered on the stone wall. They were pieces of cold gold ore, arranged in a pleasing pattern. It was quite beautiful.

Qin Sang was constantly in motion, knocking down each piece of cold gold ore one by one and placing them on the empty space before everyone.

Because the ebony sword was sharp enough, Qin Sang moved quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, a layer of stone wall had been scraped clean by Qin Sang.

At this time, the evil spirits had just formed, and although almost everyone had been forced to reveal their trump cards, the situation was far from critical. They still had some strength left, so they urged Qin Sang to continue.

Unexpectedly, when Qin Sang wanted to dig deeper, he found that there was only stone inside, and no cold gold ore mother.

Qin Sang was unwilling to give up, and she chose over ten places in succession. The Wumu Sword stabbed into the ground for several meters, but in the end, it was confirmed that there wasn't even a piece of cold gold ore inside.

This vein, it's only this thick!

Everyone couldn't help but be disappointed.

It's not that the harvest is small, after all, the amount of cold gold ore in this vein is already quite considerable. The harvested cold gold ore is divided equally among everyone present, and each person gets an amount the size of a head.

After extracting the cold gold, it is very valuable.

However, the number was far too small compared to their expectations, and it was hardly satisfying.

The most disappointing was Kong Xin.

Others were fortunate enough to find the Cold Gold Mother by chance, a pleasant surprise. They quickly recovered from their disappointment.

“Humans die for wealth, birds die for food. It's better to have just one layer of ore vein than this, so that everyone is willing to leave. Otherwise, when they are exhausted, they will be trapped here by evil spirits. You guys share these and hurry on your way…”The Bao surname cultivator said cheerfully, looking at the pile of cold gold ore mother on the ground, then at Kong Xin, “My friend, as you said before, whoever sees it gets a share, and everyone shares equally. You won’t break your promise, will you”

>

Kōng Xīn adjusted his mindset and forced a smile: "How could that be I didn't exert much effort. These cold gold ore veins were all dug out by Qīngfēng Dàozhǎng with his sword. You should ask Qīngfēng Dàozhǎng's opinion."

Qin Sang chuckled, "Without the help of fellow cultivators to fend off the evil spirits, even my sharpest flying sword wouldn't have been so successful. Let's split the spoils evenly."

However, when the assignments were being made, the master and his apprentice both claimed that the apprentice's abilities were weak and he was not worthy of two portions.

>

Others seeing the master and apprentice’s understanding, naturally would not have any objections. The quality of these cold gold ore mothers was almost consistent, so everyone quickly divided them equally and rushed out of the cave.

At this time, outside the cave, demons piled upon demons, the entire grotto seemed to have become a realm of ghosts.

Working together, everyone successfully broke through and safely reached the entrance of another cave.

This time, Kong Xin did not lie. This cave was not a dead end. As for whether it was the real exit, it needed to be verified.

They set up various barriers to block the pursuit of evil spirits, while killing the ghosts that caught up. They fought their way back, retreating until they finally escaped a distance away.

“Whew!”

The crowd gasped for breath, still shaken by the experience.

These evil spirits weren't very powerful individually, but their numbers were overwhelming, an endless stream. There was no end to killing them. Thankfully, they used the terrain to their advantage and didn't get completely surrounded.

It's hard to imagine how terrifying it would be to see millions of demons gathered on the ground, swarming over several mountain ranges.

Now that I think about it, what the cultivator surnamed Bao said was indeed quite good.

If the veins were a bit bigger, no one would want to leave, delaying for a while longer. They'd be on the verge of exhaustion. What if a powerful demon suddenly appeared It's very possible someone would die in there.

“Kong Dao, continue leading the way! I hope you haven't lied this time!” The woman in red stared at Kong Xin and said coldly.

Others also intentionally or unintentionally surrounded Kong Xin in the middle.

Kǒng Xīng smiled and said repeatedly, “How dare I! How dare I! Whether it is true or false, everyone will know immediately...”

Kong Xin walked in front, Qin Sang and Yun Youzi still followed behind.

Haven't walked far, Qin Sang's figure suddenly paused slightly, a playful smile appeared on his face, his gaze swept over Kong Xin and the others' backs, pondered for a moment, and followed up.

In the depths of the cavern.

>

The evil spirits, having lost their target, gradually calmed down and returned to the depths. Some began to kill each other, while others continued to wander aimlessly.

Just then, a figure appeared out of thin air. He glanced at the empty mine shaft and let out a cold snort.

He used some means to avoid alarming the wandering evil spirits, but he was extremely careful in his movements, keeping close to the stone wall, and finally followed the direction where the crowd had left.

This person didn't notice that amidst the blood miasma, a zombie was mixed in with the group of ghosts. It seemed rather unusual. With its pitch-black eyes, it kept watching him leave.

Like zombies and ghosts, they are inanimate objects and, mixed among these mindless specters, will not provoke an attack as long as they do not take the initiative.

This zombie was released by Qin Sang when he was attacked by evil spirits. Its purpose is to serve as a warning. If there are powerful ghosts in the depths of the earth cave, it can be discovered in advance so that they can escape.

Later, since there was no chance to come back before leaving, it stayed here.

Just a mere zombie, not as difficult to craft as a shambling corpse. Its greatest use is as cannon fodder for scouting missions. Even if it were discarded, it wouldn't be a loss.

Qin Sang also didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

At this point, he had already put a significant distance between himself and the zombie. His senses were greatly diminished, only able to vaguely sense through the zombie that there was an unwelcome guest trailing behind him. He couldn't discern the person's cultivation level or identity.

However, this person does not dare to appear openly and uses such underhanded tactics. It is estimated that their cultivation level is not very high.

Who is their accomplice

Still strangers, coincidentally walking the same path

Qin Sang walked at the back, silently observing the actions of those in front. He couldn't tell which one seemed suspicious.

When Qin Sang got the chance, he told Yun Youzi about being followed.
