Chapter 778: The Spirit Stone Mine of Xuantian Sect

  PS: Seeking recommendations, seeking collections, seeking fans! "This matter, it's a long story, let me start from eight or nine days ago."

  The storyteller said calmly, then raised his voice, "Have you all heard about the incident on the Hai River a few days ago? The snake-necked dragon is still wreaking havoc in the Hai River. As for the source of this matter, I suppose you are all clear, but it's said that at the time, apart from Lin Bu Fan, the young master of the Hai Zhou Fu Wei Security Bureau, there was also a teenage prodigy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old. It's said that the snake-necked dragon's strength is unparalleled, and even if the three major families of Shan Cheng joined forces, they might not be able to capture it, and could only barely suppress it even if they found its trail. But surprisingly, that teenager actually managed to injure the snake-necked dragon, which gave those people an opportunity to escape with their lives."

  "What's this?!"

  "Impossible! Only 15 or 16 years old? That's a snake neck dragon that will transform into a Jiaolong!"

  "Old man, what kind of strength does that young master you mentioned have?"

  "Really, really, what kind of strength is this? At such a young age, it's impossible to have already entered the realm of martial arts, right?"

  "This is ridiculous, a martial arts master so young, even among the top ten young masters, there isn't anyone as talented. Even the number one on the young masters list, Renzi Fei, doesn't have such an abnormal talent. It's said that Renzi Fei broke through to the martial realm at seventeen, if this kid entered the martial realm at fifteen or sixteen, that would be too terrifying."

  "Hum, how much do you know? The world is vast! Otherwise, tell me, if it's not the boundary of martial arts, how could that kid injure Snake Neck Dragon? Or should Wang Lao San go try? See if Snake Neck Dragon is made of mud and can be manipulated at will?"

  The noisy and quarrelsome crowd had no result, and finally looked at the storytelling master again. The old storyteller didn't mind either, taking advantage of this world, directly stretching out his hand to ask for reward money, and only after being satisfied did he open his mouth to speak.

  "This young man is absolutely not a martial artist in the realm of martial arts, but he seems to have some kind of treasure on him, and it's impossible to see through his true strength. Unfortunately, Yang Zong, the old ancestor of the Yang family, happened to be rushing to Haihe at that time, and because he arrived quickly, he witnessed this scene, and at that moment..."

  The storyteller vividly depicted the scene at that time, of course, not a few were based on his own imagination, and it was indeed thrilling. Wu Ming listened in silence, and after a long while, he asked Shi Jingxuan in a low voice: "Was I really so brave back then?"

  Shi Jingxuan naturally pursed her lips and smiled, giving Wu Ming a white eye.

  "It's already like this, and you still have the heart to joke around?"

  The Storyteller finished describing the scene at that time, and then asked: "Think about it, this young master's martial arts skills don't seem to be strong, whether it's his internal strength or external techniques, but the moves he uses are incredibly precise. Even the dragon-like snake was injured by him. If a true martial arts master were to use these moves, wouldn't they be unbeatable? So naturally, Yang's ancestor had thoughts about this, but because of the chaotic situation at the time, this young man was cautious and knew the principle of 'keeping a low profile', so he quietly left. Later, after traveling around, he coincidentally entered Leshan City...

  The storyteller seems to know everything, including the details of cause and effect that even the people involved don't know. For example, Wu Ming knew that the Yang family was aware of his formidable martial arts skills, but he only had a vague idea about it himself. He never expected to hear the truth today. It's also unclear what kind of organization these people are from, or how someone like Jianghu Bai Xiao Sheng could be so formidable and know all the ins and outs of the situation.

  Wu Ming shivered and seemed to suspect that there was a gaze staring at him from all around.

  This organization is really too terrifying, damn it, how can it be all-knowing and all-powerful?

  The tavern was in an uproar, this matter is too absurd! Could it be that the young man had obtained some extremely powerful martial arts skills? Otherwise, how could he have injured the Snake Necked Dragon before even reaching the Martial Path? Everyone suddenly focused on this question, if not for the benefit of his martial arts skills, how would that be possible? Who are you kidding?

  But then some astute people suddenly thought of another question, if this young man has extremely powerful or at least earth-level martial skills, who is behind him? Is it possible that he's just lucky? Even if luck brought you to see it, do you understand what that thing means?

  But they couldn't have imagined that Wu Ming had a system that could help him comprehend on his own, an ability that even the Martial God wouldn't be able to match.

  Just like that, everyone's eyes became fiery. The three families of the mountain city dared to catch people, and the young man behind him had someone backing him up, but he was estimated to be just so-so, not particularly impressive.

  Wu Ming had a feeling of disgust towards the organization, aside from his wariness of Bai Xiao Sheng. If they hadn't interfered, this matter would have been settled already. However, he also knew that if nothing came of it after some time, it would slowly turn into a rumor, and waiting for someone to investigate would yield better results. At least most people wouldn't believe it then.

  Fortunately, after the old man finished talking about Wu Ming, he turned his head and said another piece of news related to Wu Ming.

  At that time, Shi Jingxuan was making a fuss about coming to find the Transformation Grass, and Bai Yanniang said she had something on her hands and couldn't accompany him. At that time, she also told Shi Jingxuan to wait a bit longer before going, and when the time came, she would go together with him. However, at that time, Bai Yanniang didn't reveal what exactly was the matter, only saying it was the Great Competition of the Xuantian Sect, so she couldn't leave.

  In fact, even if it's the Great Competition of Xuantian Sect, not all the elderly elders are waiting for her. If Bai Yanniang really leaves, her other half is still the master of Xuantian Sect. Who would dare to bully his disciples? Not to mention that Xuantian Sect doesn't have so many intrigues and struggles. If something is done, they wouldn't be afraid of her making trouble when she returns.

  It wasn't long before things erupted and now it's known throughout the land.

  It's a long story, so I won't say much here, just a brief introduction.

  It was actually quite simple at the beginning, Xuantian Sect had a disciple who entered the mountain to collect medicine and discovered a spiritual stone mine. This should be good news, as long as Xuantian Sect sends someone to take over, everything will be settled, and no one can do anything about it. After all, this spiritual stone mine is whoever discovers it belongs to them, on the condition that they have the power to swallow it whole. As the leader of the three major forces in Jingzhou, Xuantian Sect naturally has this power, and no one can say anything about it.

  It just so happened that at the time, apart from the disciples of Xuantian Sect, there were also those from Tiangin Sect present, and thus the conflict erupted.

  You think you're the first to discover the Xuán Tiān Sect, but this place is close to my Tiān Yīn Sect! In fact, we discovered it long ago, but we didn't have the manpower to spare, so we just left it unattended. Usually, we just send a few disciples to guard it... I say, can't you be more decent? Don't think that just because you're strong, you can bully us. My Tiān Yīn Sect isn't weak either!

  Actually, Mu Yun Kong didn't plan to monopolize it alone. After all, there were people from the Tian Yin Sect present at that time. Sitting down to discuss it... Cough, dividing it equally, no big deal if we take a small loss, I'll get 60% and you'll get 40%, isn't that okay? But after hearing this, can he still remain calm? This is a blatant slap in the face! Does he think the Xuan Tian Sect is easy to bully?

  Then things escalated.

  The strength of the Tianyin Sect is not weak, although it can't compare to the Xuantian Sect, but in Jingzhou, it can still sit firmly in second place. But why would they have the confidence to want to monopolize the Ling Stone Mine? The reason lies in that the Tianyin Sect has pulled over a strong ally, the Wang family, which is ranked third in strength in Jingzhou. It's not clear what they said, but within a few days, they organized an alliance to oppose the Xuantian Sect.

  This matter should have been settled privately, but after making such a big fuss, the gunpowder smell is strong, and the news couldn't be kept under wraps, so it was leaked out. Now that this matter hasn't had any results yet, outsiders are getting restless instead. Who wouldn't want more of these spirit stones? Immediately, people came knocking on our door, asking to form an alliance with the Mystic Heaven Sect, saying that as long as we get the spirit stone mine, giving them 20% would be fine. Some also approached the Heavenly Yin Sect, probably with a similar intention.

  Things have gotten out of hand, and what was originally just a spirit stone mine has become a huge deal. If the two families had sat down to talk things through, they could have made a fortune together and stabilized their income by now. But instead, the situation has escalated to the point where it's even more sensational than the Imperial Capital's Grand Tournament six months from now.

  By now, this matter has spread far and wide. If it weren't for the head of the snake blocking the way, I'm afraid Hai Zhou's side would have also known about it long ago and wouldn't have waited until these past few days to bring it up.
