Since he saw that Qin Lie was not at all at a loss, he immediately opened up the conversation and no longer hesitated as he said, "For the past three years, Gui Yun City and Zhengyang City have been fighting over a spirit stone mine. There have been more than ten battles between the two. It was said that the surrounding cities had also intervened and dispatched troops and generals. Two months ago, both sides had deployed almost five hundred thousand soldiers. This was most likely the reason why these victims fled. Wherever soldiers went, not a single blade of grass grew. It was already dry. Even if there was any food stored, it would still be plundered clean. "It is said that a hundred thousand people have died of starvation.

Qin Lie was shocked, hearing Lian Fan's explanation, he slowly started to think. Spiritual Stone? This was something even harder to come by than Beast Crystal. It could also be used to craft Practitioner Weapons or to refine Pill s. It could also be used to cast spells or to extract Genuine Qi s to supplement Spirit Qi. It could also be directly absorbed to grow Cultivation Level s. However, because it was purer, there were fewer hidden dangers. All the high level cultivators and Profound Arts Master s treated it as a treasure.

Heavenly Dragon Empire had always been a rare sight, and when he was in the Demon Suppressing King Palace, he had even less of a chance to find Spiritual Stone.

In this battle, which involved millions of people fighting over Spiritual Stone s, the two cities probably had their own sects supporting them from behind. It was indeed the law of the jungle, unstable and unpredictable.

With a pitiful expression, he looked at the commoners who were dressed in shabby clothes, whose eyes were lifeless and filled with despair. Qin Lie suddenly felt furious and helpless.

These people looked at the two Cloud-stepping Carriage from afar and seemed to see some hope. However, when they saw the body of the gnus and the horse floating four zhangs above the ground, they once again moved forward in disappointment.

Qin Lie thought for a while before taking off the embroidered bag on his body. "He took out a portion of it from the pouch and casually threw it to Lian Fan. You give these few hundred Beast Crystal to the two Mayor s for me. I don't care how they use it, I at least want to give these people a chance to live! "

In a place of great calamity, food must be incomparably expensive. Even though the several hundred Third Rank Spermatophore Crystals in his storage ring were an enormous fortune, it was still not enough.

Adding on the few Fifth Rank s and dozens of Fourth Rank Beast Crystal s that were gifted by the Violet Cloud County Mayor, it would barely be enough. He had an enormous amount of wealth, but unfortunately, he was unable to use it.

Within the Heavenly Dragon Empire, regardless of whether it was the three great dynasties or the subordinates of the various sects, fifty taels of silvers was enough for a commoner to use for a month. And a single Fourth Rank Demon Beast Crystal, could be equivalent to a hundred pieces of Third Rank Beast Crystal worth a hundred thousand strands of silver.

Therefore, when Qin Lie had yelled out the sky-high price of ten thousand Third Rank Beast Crystal s back then, he had scolded him for being a spendthrift.

It was because in this era, Beast Crystal were too few. The proportion of Demon Beast killed was not even eleven, and there were many cultivators who needed these Beast Crystal as well. That was why he had raised the astronomical price of these Demon Beast Crystals.

If one calculated carefully, out of a million people, only one would reach the heavens. And a Heavenly Completion Stage Ranker who went through all the hardships of hunting and killing, regardless of cultivation, after a year of hard work, could only harvest less than ten Fourth Rank Beast Crystal. Their value could naturally be imagined.

Inside the bag, there were sixty gigantic Fourth Rank Beast Crystal. Even if the price of food were to skyrocket, it would still be more than enough to feed the million people for a year.

Qin Lie had also predicted that the Mayor s of the two cities, Guiyun and Zhengyang City, would not be used for disaster relief. Most of those Beast Crystal had been taken away.

However, as long as these two were not willing to let their Children die, then at least some of it would leak out from the gaps between their teeth.

Just a few would be enough to keep them alive.

Lian Fan caught the bag and was stunned. Some of them were confused, and some of them were staring fixedly at Qin Lie, as though they were somewhat in disbelief. Then without a word, he immediately mounted a Wind-controlling Colt and quickly left.

At this time, Zhao Yu also caught up with them and stopped by the side. After hearing that, he subconsciously laughed mockingly, "I never expected Young Master Qin to be so kind! It's just that this Beast Crystal of yours was accumulated by millions of people in the Heavenly Demon Sect. These people are neither your Children, nor your Demon Clan. You used these Beast Crystal to do good deeds, have you considered the welfare of the millions of true Demon Clan Children s? "

Hearing that, Duan Yun was immediately angered, and said with a face full of anger: "They are all about to starve to death, how can they just ignore it like that? Do you really have a conscience? "

Zhao Yu sneered, and disdainfully said, "These people were displaced because their Mayor was incompetent. Young Master Qin was a Young Lord of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so these people shouldn't be bothered about whether they live or die. A useless person would be better off dead so as not to waste food. There are countless dead people, and you are only one person, how can you manage it? Even if those Beast Crystal were to be gifted to her, most of them would be taken away. "It would be better to buy the grains and give them to them yourself …"

In front, Duan Yun was furious, but at the back, he was moved. He felt that it was logical and turned to look at Qin Lie.

However, Qin Lie secretly thought it was funny. He indifferently swept his gaze over Zhao Yu, but didn't say a word.

In the end, this was the woman's experience. If they really bought the grain, in the eyes of those two idiotic Mayor s, what kind of intentions would they have in making things difficult for others? Even the few hidden sects behind these two were wary.

Most importantly, he didn't have the time or the time to do so. He would not be stupid enough to risk his life for someone else.

However, Zhao Yu's words from before were actually correct and extremely reasonable.

But when Qin Lie acted, he naturally had his limits, and followed his heart's desires, to the point where it was his own. Why would he need other people to act against him?

It was just that everyone had their own way of thinking, he did not want to judge whether Zhao Yu was right or wrong when he said that, and he did not think that he was wrong.

Qin Lie glanced at the distance lightly, and suddenly let out a chuckle. "Why do I not care about the lives and deaths of these people? Now, it's not my Children, it's fine in the future! Whenever I am in a good mood, I will beat down all these great sects and dynasties of Heavenly Dragon Empire and make me an overlord. While we're at it, we should drive away the Lingyun Sect and let them drink the northwest wind — "

Zhao Yu was shocked when she was glanced at by him. He suddenly realized that the youth before his was absolutely not someone she could ridicule as he wished.

Hearing Qin Lie's later words, he became even more silent. He didn't have the slightest intention to mock him. Instead, he felt an unspeakable heroic spirit, causing him to be depressed.

He thought that if this child had grown up, it was not impossible for him to unify the Heavenly Dragon Empire.

To expel Lingyun Sect from one's Heavenly Dragon Empire was a bit of an exaggeration. There was a ninety percent chance of one becoming an overlord of a region.

To be able to kill the evil person Li Xieling at the age of sixteen, he naturally had the qualifications to look down on all the heroes of the realm!

Qin Lie laughed for a while, only to feel that the roof of the car was a little cool. He was about to turn around and return to the carriage. But suddenly, he felt that Lin Miaoke's beautiful eyes were fixated on him, her starry eyes were sparkling, revealing traces of happiness and praise.

Qin Lie immediately frowned and sighed, he felt powerless, the pride he had previously, had completely disappeared. He returned to the carriage listlessly. Then, all he could think of was the Spiritual Stone s.

These days, he had almost forgotten about the existence of the Fourth Rank Beast Crystal in the banks. Only now, upon hearing about the Spiritual Stone mine, did he feel the urgency once again.

It was laughable to think that hundreds of thousands of people would risk their lives and fight to the death for a mere Spiritual Stone mine.

"Speaking of which, the Beast Crystal in my hands should also be exchanged for quickly. But the Spiritual Stone mine? "

Qin Lie's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. Since they had just discovered the Spiritual Stone's mine, then who knows if the core inside had already been taken away by someone?

Speaking of Xiao Jin, it was also time for them to absorb the Beast Crystal again. However, if it were Spiritual Stone s, it would be even more perfect.

In any case, he would need to stay with a few people nearby for the next two days. If Lian Fan wanted to complete his task, he would need a period of time, so it would be good if he went over to take a look.

With that settled in his mind, Qin Lie closed his eyes and meditated again, continuing to improve the Worldshaking Spirit Art.

It wasn't until nightfall that Qin Lie finally put on the set of Lightning Walking Spirit Bone.

As he walked out of the carriage, he subconsciously looked towards the other Cloud-stepping Carriage not far away.

Guarding outside the carriage, Zhao Yu immediately revealed a vigilant look, "What do you want to do? Miss is cultivating in seclusion! "

Without paying it much attention, Qin Lie immediately jumped down from the carriage, his figure flashed as he quickly rushed forward. Duan Yun didn't even need to greet them and immediately followed along.

Zhao Yu saw this and thought it was strange, he wanted to control the windmill to keep up, but when he saw Qin Lie and the other woman, he immediately went into the forest and disappeared into the hills, and could only unwillingly give up this idea. His eyes rolled around as he fell into deep thought.

Qin Lie walked along with the lightning on his spirit bones, and when he walked, 'kacha kacha' sounds could be heard, but when he used all his strength to move, it was actually as fast as lightning. Under Qin Lie's control, even if it was thirty meters in an instant, it wouldn't come into contact with any obstacle.

At the same time, the Ancient Dragon And Elephant Conjuration secretly changed as he cleverly used the Qi Swallowing Art to absorb the heaven and earth Spiritual Energy and the free soul energy. Almost at every moment, he would benefit from the soul recovery and even though Duan Yun was able to keep up, the two of them had already run for tens of kilometers to the peak of a mountain.

Duan Yun gasped, his Genuine Qi s almost running out. However, Qin Lie's expression was normal, and his eyes were only a little tired.

The peak of this mountain was around 700 feet high, so it wasn't considered high. However, at this place, it was as if he was looking at a small mountain.

Qin Lie casually took out a Soulstone and formed a hand seal. In his eyes, a round Talisman that was blue in color instantly appeared. As for the object in his vision, it was quickly being pulled closer.

"Most of the Spiritual Stone lode is near the mountain range, where the dense earth energy and Spiritual Vein gather. This was a plain, and the most likely location was this hill. "I wonder which direction that mine is in?"

After looking around, Qin Lie's gaze suddenly stopped at the south. There seemed to be a battlefield there. Looking at them, they were all broken Armour s and corpses. It was unknown just how many people had died in this battle that had attracted countless scavengers Demon Beast. From time to time, strange beast howls could be heard. In the sky, there were hundreds of giant vultures circling.

Narrowing his eyes, Qin Lie looked around again. Before long, his line of sight was fixed on a four hundred meter high mountain peak.

Smiling faintly, Qin Lie once again dashed downwards.

In just a mere 70 miles, they had arrived in just a quarter of an hour. When he arrived near the small mountain, Qin Lie's figure suddenly stopped. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.

This place was impressively like two huge military camps, clearly separated from each other as they faced off against each other. Every military camp had over a hundred thousand men stationed there. With just a single glance, he knew that all the elite soldiers were inside. Even the soldiers with the lowest fighting strength were at least at the second stage Martial Cultivator and late stage Body Refining Stage.

He used his soul power to gaze into the distance. One could even see dozens of faint auras soaring into the sky, mixing with the blood and qi of hundreds of thousands of people. The murderous aura soared to the sky.

Qin Lie could not help but frown. The Yang Energy of the Qi and blood of these tens of thousands of people mixed together was the nemesis of the Profound Arts Master. If one was not at the Yang Reversion Realm, any Profound Arts that was slightly in close proximity would be washed away by the rising blood and energy.

After looking for a while, Qin Lie laughed bitterly to himself. The gathering of an army was the most difficult to deal with. When he woke up in the future, he did not choose to use disguise and stealth to escape. Instead, he chose the magnificent and eye-catching Cloud-stepping Carriage as usual.

The Cloud Controlling Horse was extremely fast, the Cloud-stepping Carriage could even move in the air, even if others knew where it was, it was not easy to do anything. Without a mount of the same rank, no one below Sky-high Fighter would be able to catch up.

However, if they were discovered while camouflaging themselves and were discovered by someone, even if thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were to join forces and attack them, they would still die with hatred, no matter how powerful they were.

Speaking of which, the truly most dangerous region on his journey back to the Heavenly Demon Sect was the later part of the journey.

That Yunxia Mountain and Raging Flame Mountain, they only came from the Great Zhou Empire. The mountain range was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. Even if they wanted him to die, they would have to send some elites over.

But once he reached their territory, with the two powers' background, it wasn't impossible for them to send over a million troops to surround him and kill him.

If he wanted to return safely, he would need to find some Wind-controlling Colt as backup.

He completely gave up on the idea of using the Shadow Spiritual Art to sneak in. However, Qin Lie did not give up. A single Spiritual Stone mine was dozens of kilometers in radius. He did not have to choose this place to enter.

After retreating a few miles, Qin Lie began to set up the array again. He hastily arranged dozens of runes and put in twelve Third Rank Beast Crystal s.

By his side, Duan Yun had recovered some of his energy. At this moment, he was just standing there in a daze. Although he was curious, he didn't say a word. Watching Qin Lie channel his spirit arts, he recited a word of congratulations. Suddenly, there was a slight shake under his feet, and a muffled sound of cracking could be heard. Suddenly, more than ten cracks appeared on the ground. With the spirit formation beneath Qin Lie's feet as the starting point, it swiftly spread out. A few of them were thicker, extending south. It was in a completely different direction from the two camps.

Only after the twelve earth attribute Beast Crystal had all exploded did Qin Lie finally stop with his hand seals and Arcane Art. With a cold expression, he observed the direction of the crack.

Qin Lie used a type of earth type spirit technique that was passed down from his Archaeozoic Era, the Spirit Searching Technique. Since it did not have any other uses, it could only identify the Spiritual Stone's vein, making it extremely effective.
