the wild boar sitting beside him, resembling a mountain on the seat. Aside from cultivation base, this physique still gave him quite a sense of pressure. 。That's not it, our demon clan takes pride in..."Plus twenty thousand lower grade fairy crystals, don't tell me you haven't saved up those." The lotus clone said.
“20,000 low-grade Immortal Crystals, nameless Daoist friend, you really dare to speak up.” Tu Xingyun’s face suddenly turned ugly. Although he controlled three mines on his side, the output of Immortal Crystals was not low. In terms of the number of mines alone, it was already comparable to Lu Xiaoxiao Tian’s original side. But the actual output couldn't be judged solely by quantity.
Every mine will inevitably encounter some problems during the mining process. Tu Xingyun's problem-solving ability is naturally far inferior to that of Lu Xiaotianzhen. This undoubtedly drags down the efficiency of the entire mining process.
Moreover, the proportion of fairy crystals intercepted by Tu Xinyun was far less than that of Lu Xiaoteng. The key lies in the status of both parties within their respective immortal sects. Lu Xiaoteng is already an elder, although his strength has not yet reached the level of a true fairy, as a Dan Saint, he is naturally incomparable to Tu Xinyun. Even if Tu Xinyun is bold, he would not dare to go too far.
Over these past few days, I have managed to collect less than 30,000 inferior fairy crystals. Even so, for Tu Xinyun, this is a windfall. In fact, most low-level True Immortals rarely even have ten thousand fairy crystals on hand. This is also the reason why so many Immortal Sects flocked to mine the fairy crystal veins after they appeared in the Phantom Mist Swamp.
Even in this illusory mist swamp, conflicts between immortal sects have erupted due to the competition for immortal crystal veins, resulting in a large number of cultivators and humans falling here. This dispute has become a huge vortex, but these immortal sects still flock to it, the key lies in obtaining enough resources, which can allow an immortal sect's strength to rise rapidly.
With so many sects in this area, the previous balance of power will inevitably be disrupted as some immortal gates gain sufficient resources. Who would be willing to be subservient and look up to others

Even though this place has become a vortex of flesh and blood, it continues to attract more and more immortal sects.
“If you don't want to, then forget it.” The lotus avatar didn't even lift its eyelids.
“I only have less than thirty thousand Xianjing in my hands, so I can only give you ten thousand first. If nameless Daoist helps me guard another mine, I will give you another five thousand!” The situation was critical, and Tu Xingyun didn't have enough time to haggle with the lotus avatar.
Although he's bleeding a bit heavily right now, as long as the Ice Scorpion is defeated, the mine is still his. He can make back what he lost. But if the losses are too severe, not only will he face reprimands from the sect, but the Lei Yin Xian Zong could send several other brothers of similar strength to take control. Once he loses control of the mine, there will be no chance of profiting from it later on.

"Deal," the lotus incarnation smiled upon hearing this.
Tu Xingyun pained to give up the benefits he had in hand, and the real fire Xi Zhen Lei was handed over to the lotus flower clone. The lotus flower clone didn't dawdle either, after taking things, she got up with Tu Xingyun. The number of ice scorpions was vast. Although Xian Han occupied advantageous terrain and defended strategically, for the ice scorpion swarm, some relatively dangerous terrains were not very useful. As long as the other two mine caves were no problem, retreating to the mine caves and utilizing the natural advantages of the mine caves, the numerical advantage of the ice scorpion swarm could not be exerted for a while. This was the only way to have a chance to hold on.
Even if the Ice Scorpion can burrow, the layers of stone and soil inside the mine are incredibly hard. Burrowing would cost it much more energy, so those cultivators aren't just going to sit there and do nothing.
Here, the fairy village was not conducive to defense, so the group quickly retreated along the route to their respective mining caves.
Zhao Xiuyuan was still assigned to this side. Although he was a little dissatisfied, Tu Xingyun, as the person in charge of several immortal villages here, had no choice but to obey his orders when it came to assigning tasks. However, at least there was now Lianhua's avatar, a sword cultivator. Although Zhao Xiuyuan had never seen Lianhua's avatar in action himself, he had heard some amazing things about him. It was said that he had already defeated several cultivators in the Immortal Realm. As for what Tu Xingyun said about being evenly matched with him, Zhao Xiuyuan still found it hard to believe.
The mine itself had certain restrictions. Considering the terrain of the mine and the limited time the disciples of Lei Yin Xian Zong had to enter, they couldn't set up powerful immortal formations. However, these measures were still effective against the ice scorpions.
Continuously, Ice Scorpions were blocked by the restrictions and fell under them. The surging number of Ice Scorpions was truly too many. When the restrictions were almost exhausted, the cultivators behind would, under the leadership of immortals, take turns charging forward, creating recovery time for the severely depleted restrictions.
The Ice Scorpion emitted a mist all over its body, huddled in the mine shaft that was no more than ten to dozens of meters wide. Under the cover of the mist, it was eerily oppressive. At a distance, one could only see a patch of mist with the naked eye.
Thus, the killing intent hidden beneath the mist became even more terrifying.
Even in the Illusory Mist Marsh, most creatures, even those that have reached the Immortal level, are still far outnumbered by those who haven't. Take, for example, Lu Xia Tian and Yunxia Fairy encountering a pack of Dire Wolf Riders—they were essentially confined to that relatively small space.
Although the outside was shrouded in thick fog, under the impact of Bing and Jin Sha's energy, the powerful restrictions that even true immortals had to treat with caution had weakened considerably. This allowed various factions to deploy large numbers of personnel inside. However, the deeper they went, the greater the dangers that loomed before each person.
For example, like this human hand inside the mine of Leiyin Xianzong in front of you.
The incessant sounds of ice scorpions being slain, mixed with the desperate cries of cultivators, echoed throughout the mine. Over a dozen Immortals and numerous cultivators took turns defending various sections of the cavern. Each guarded a relatively small area initially, coping with the seemingly endless tide of ice scorpions.
Under wave after wave of attacks, Immortals and cultivators suffered casualties one after another. Zhao Xiuyuan was also hit by a ferocious ice scorpion's tail stinger, piercing his ankle despite his defenses. Although he immediately sealed the wound with Xian Yuan, his entire calf was numb from the cold. Seeing that the lotus avatar remained solely responsible for commanding from behind, Zhao Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel anger. While the other party was sent by Tu Xingyun, they hadn't exerted any strength until now and just watched idly from the sidelines. This was simply too much.
Zhao Xiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly a thick scorpion tail struck him like lightning. The speed was so fast that it seemed to surpass the limits of what even immortals could achieve.
At this time, Zhao Xiuyuan hadn't even seen the ice scorpion's true form as it struck. In that moment of haste, Zhao Xianyuan suddenly shot two cross blades from his body, intersecting and slashing at the ice scorpion's tail. With a crack, the formidable ice scorpion's tail shattered under the force.
Zhao Xiuyuan's complexion changed drastically, and at the same time, a nearly imperceptible ripple in the mist hidden in mid-air once again struck Zhao Xiuyuan's dantian.akening its innate divine power will also be greater, and after awakening, its power will not be insignificant.Even after Nie Kong ascended to the Xuanxian level, he was still awakening his bloodline...
