Three days later, Ding Xing attended the banquet hosted by Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni. The attendees were mainly Chaoyuan monks in Jianfeng Mountain. Except for some of them going out or in the Guanguan Entrance, all the others were there.

Ding Xing got along well with his colleagues, and he settled down here.

Most of the monks on Jianfeng Mountain stay in their own ice and fire spirit caves in their daily lives. They either work hard to practice or refine alchemy and treasures, and there are very few people going out.

Therefore, although there are tens of thousands of monks living in Jianfeng Mountain, it is difficult to see them outside the mountain.

It is said that a monk like Ding Xing, who went into seclusion, is a normal habit, but since he settled down, he has not been willing to be in his cave for a moment and has been traveling outside almost all day long.

He came to Obsidian Star with a heavy responsibility, and his purpose was to pursue the whereabouts of Snowmos and the Twelve-Level Tower, so he spent all his time on inquiring clues.

He has a human book in his hand, can capture the lifeline of living beings, and has four ape treasures sealed by the earth book, which can be used to sense the traces of the twelve-level building.

The ice and fire on Jianfeng Mountain meet, which is the most likely territory for the Shemmoth and the Twelve-Third Building to hide. Unfortunately, Ding Xing used human books and earth books to repeatedly check, but found no clues.

This forced Ding Xing to turn his attention to the Jianfeng Mountain.

But looking at the entire Obsidian Star’s land, it is basically covered with black stones and fire slurry, and there are no other secret realms or spiritual realms. Ding Xing wanted to find the Snowmother and the Twelve-Level Building outside the mountain, so he could only conduct a carpet-style investigation.

This kind of investigation method is simple. It is to use human books and earth books to induce in areas one by one, and then check the surface. If there is still no trace, then Ding Xing will use the earth escape technique and go deep into the ground to continue sensing.

After checking all the Obsidian Star inside and out, Ding Xing believed that he could find Xuemo and the Twelve-Level Building.

But there is a huge problem with this method, that is, the exception is time-consuming.

After four or five months, he only ran the thousands of miles outside Jianfeng Mountain.

In fact, it is very convenient to check human books and can produce results in a few days.

The key is that the use of the earth books is extremely troublesome. Ding Xing wanted to take out all four ape treasures in the book, and drive them to see if the ape treasures react for every dozens of miles.

On the way, he encountered some hidden environments such as canyons, waterfalls, and caves. He had to sneak in and take a look. Even if his meticulousness was not as good as looking for a needle in a haystack, it was not much worse.

It is because he is too rigorous in his work that his speed of advancing outside Jianfeng Mountain is so slow.

Unfortunately, he worked so hard but did not get a single harvest.

This made him gradually become suspicious, believing that casting a net in the sky was not the right way to find it.

But apart from casting a net everywhere, he had no other more effective way. In his distress, he could only continue to expand the search range outside the mountain.

After he worked hard outside the mountain for half a year, an unexpected invitation brought a turning point in his search operation.

This day.

Ding Xing wandered alone on the bank of a long magma river, hesitating whether to sneak into the bottom of the river to check, but suddenly heard a roar of swords, which spread from far to near to the ears.

He turned his head to see that it was Ran Qing, the maid in his mansion, who led two cultivators in the Chaoyuan period, as if they were coming to find him.

The three of them landed nearby with their swords.

Ran Qing knelt down and reported: "I greet you. Senior Hong Fu from Fuzhi Spirit Cave and Senior Tang Ruzhi said that you have something important to discuss with the master, and I will bring them."

This was the instruction of Ding Xing.

During the six months since Ding Xing went out, Ran Qing had been guarding the cave. Every time Ding Xing went out, he would tell Ran Qing about the general direction. If an emergency occurs, he would need to notify Ding Xing so that Ran Qing could find him.

Ding Xingxian signaled Ran Qing to get up.

His eyes then turned to Hong Fu and Tang Ruzhi. These two were a pair of Taoist couples. There were many men and women in Jianfeng Mountain. They would choose to combine them after settling down, so that they could have more self-protection ability.

When Ding woke up half a year ago, he met the two at a banquet held by Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni. He had only this relationship and had no friendship with each other. I don’t know why they came to him.

"I've met Fellow Daoist Ding!"

The two of them were humble in their attitude, because they were both monks in the early stages of the Chaoyuan period, and their cultivation was half a pound of Ding Xing. After Ding Xing settled down, they went out to look for treasures all day long. Based on their experience, they determined that Ding Xing, who was good at risk, were often good at fighting skills, so they lowered their posture in front of Ding Xing.

Ding Xing hugged and smiled: "You two are not practicing cultivation in the mountains and come to find Ding from thousands of miles away. I guess there is something important, right?"

Hong Fu has a big head and wide forehead, and his appearance exudes a strong sense of wealth. He named him Hong Fu, which is really appropriate. He speaks like a bell and extremely loud.

"My couple is doing something for the sake of business. This business is not dangerous, but the benefits are not expensive!"

Hong Fu first kept a secret before saying, "Generally speaking, we Chaoyuan monks do not need to perform any rotating tasks, but there are also several special errands that we Chaoyuan must handle, such as picking Luoyan stones!"

Ding Xingmeng was surprised: "I heard from Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni that there is a star in every ice and fire spirit cave in our fifth mountain, and Luo Ancient Stones can be collected at any time. Is this a special job?"

The Luogu stone of Obsidian Star is rich in reserves, but except for the two old seniors who have refined the soul, Que and Grandma Ni, who have been quarrying all year round, the other monks all occupy a star position and never participate in the collection.

This is because quarrying is too time-consuming.

On Xiyue Star, Ding Xing invited more than ten members of the Chaoyuan period to join forces to host the quarry formation. It took a hundred years to collect only a few ancient Luo stones.

There are not many Chaoyuan-stage monks in Jianfeng Mountain, and they are all taking care of each other. No one has the energy to quarrel. After all, this kind of gem is of no use to Chaoyuan-stage monks, and its attraction is far less than improving their cultivation and impacting the Three Flowers Realm.

It is more cost-effective to refine a few elixirs with this leisure.

The star position in Ding Xing Cave has not been activated, and he is also unwilling to waste his time on the quarry formation. Ran Qing has free time, but her cultivation is insufficient and she cannot control the magic formation.

It is precisely because Ding Xing understood the situation of Luo Gu Stone that he did not understand Hong Fu's intention.

Hong Fu hurriedly explained to him: "Oh, that's right! Obsidian Star has a Xiaji pit, which is a deep pit that has a path of thousands of miles. There are also star positions hidden at the bottom of the pit. These stars are relatively close to the center of the earth, so it is easy to quarrel. Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni set up magic circles there, and arranged a group of Chaoyuan puppets to the main formation. Every time when the stone is released, Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni will send their Chaoyuan period colleagues in the mountains to go to Xiaji pit to retrieve the gems. This time it was my turn!"

This is a long-distance stone harvesting mission.

There are basically upper and lower circles on the stars in the deep space of Luogu. These two areas are located at both ends of the stars, and are often the core places where monks place their souls.

Obsidian stars also exist.

Jianfeng Mountain is located in the upper pole area.

Since Hong Fu mentioned Xiajikeng, it means that Xiajikeng is located at the other end of Jianfeng Mountain. If you want to rush over, you must cross the entire star.

Ding Xing asked: "Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni handed over the errands to two of you. Why did you come to find Ding?"

Hong Fu smiled and said, "Every time I perform the stone harvesting mission, the number of people is not fixed. If I am a colleague in the late period of the Yuan Dynasty, one person is enough to deal with the sudden situation. If I am a colleague in the middle period, it is often two people who work together!"

He stretched out his finger, tapped his chest, and pointed at Ding Xing: "Early-stage monks like you and me need three people to accompany you! Eunuch Que first came to me and his wife, and then called your name. He said that after you moved to our Star, you have been traveling all day long. I guess he was searching for a strange treasure, so he handed over the errands to you. In addition to Luo Ancient Stone, there are also a large number of rare spiritual materials in Xiaji Teng. He said you will definitely be interested!"

A few months ago, Grandma Ni had already left Obsidian Star and her return date was uncertain.

Now there is only Eunuch Que, a primordial cultivator, who is unable to escape and must guard his hometown. If not, he would personally accompany Ding Xing to Xiajikeng to search for treasures.

The earth realm does gather a lot of heaven and earth treasures, but the common material treasures do not have spiritual herbs and medicines, which are slightly less attractive to monks. The key is that the distance is too far away, so in daily life, there is no monk from Jianfeng Mountain who is willing to go there.

Ding Xing was already questioning his way of finding Xuemo and the Twelve-Level Tower, and felt that he had found the wrong direction. At this moment, he heard Hong Fu's introduction to Xia Jikeng and immediately wanted to accompany him.

Maybe if you search for the bottom of the Xiaji pit, you will find unexpected discoveries.

He clasped his fists: "Since it was Eunuch Que who named it, then Ding will not refuse!"

Hong Fu hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoist Ding, you don't need to force yourself. Eunuch Que gave special instructions from the mountain. He did not give you an order, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to go."

Ding Xing smiled slightly: "I really want to go to Jikeng to take a look. I moved into Jianfeng Mountain for half a year and ran around all day just to get familiar with the situation here, otherwise how could I dare to call myself an Obsidian monk!"

Hong Fu had already passed on all Eunuch Que's words. When he heard Ding Xing's statement, he said, "Since that's the case, let's go on the road now?"

Ding Xing said: "It is better to obey your order than respect!"

After saying that, he sent Ran Qing back to the mountain.

He followed Hong Fu and Tang Ruzhi towards Xiajikeng.

In the main areas of Obsidian Star, there are teleportation arrays built by Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni, but even so, they still walked for several days before they arrived at the place.

Flame beasts reproduced everywhere in the stars, and some teleportation arrays were destroyed by the flame beasts. They flew through the door, so they delayed for a few days.

On that day, they hovered on the edge of a thick fog.

Ding Xing realized that the cold air was sweeping over his face. He immediately remembered the cold air of snow wood in Jianfeng Mountain, which was exactly the same as here.

The thick fog is actually formed by the gathering of cold air from the surface, spreading across a radius of thousands of miles.

"This is the pit!"

Hong Fu's fingers in the fog area, "The pit is covered with cracks in the canyon. Because of the cold air, the flame beasts have disappeared and they dare not come here to build nests. The teleportation array we used along the way was damaged, but the quarry array arranged by Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni has always been intact!"

Even if there are flame beasts living there, they will not pose a threat to them. This is the errands and there will be no danger. This is Hong Fu's opinion.

Ding Xing looked down from the pit and found that there were a large number of ground cracks and the entire pit occupied a vast area. It was impossible to see that it was a sunken basin.

When Ding Xing was riding in the Six Yin Gourd, he flew around outside the Obsidian Star, and flew over the Xiaji Pit many times, but he never saw the landform here, and was completely affected by the spider-web-shaped cracks.

It seems like a strong earthquake broke out here, causing the basin to become riddled with holes. Of course, the cracks in the ground may also be artificial. If a great master killed the sky and the earth cracked, Ding Xing would not question it too much.

Whether it is natural or artificial, Ding Xing needs to dive into the crack in person and check it before he can draw a conclusion.

However, when he was about to escape into the cold fog area, his palm suddenly felt his beating, and he stopped instantly.

Hong Fu and Tang Ruzhi had already flew forward dozens of feet and headed into the cracks in the ground. While looking back at Ding Xing, he waved to him: "Brother Ding, keep up!"

Ding Xing sent a voice out: "Don't go down first, there are monks hiding deep in the ground!"

The Book of Palm Master just captured the traces of four monks, but Ding Xing couldn't lock the location of what direction they were hiding for the time being. The cracks in the lower pit were too dense. When his divine mind extended in, he would encounter layers of rocks.

Hong Fu and Tang Ruzhi were both surprised when they heard the warning. The land was far away from Jianfeng Mountain and few people visited him. If Ding Xing was not dazed, it means that the lurker was not a human race!

The two of them did not dare to take it lightly, and also used voice transmission to talk to Ding Xing: "Brother Ding, how many monks are there, and where are they hiding!"

At this time, the two of them were already in the Xiaji pit, floating above a crack several miles wide.

Ding Xing was about to tell the information of these monks in detail with the two, but Hong Fu screamed violently, "Do not to go!"

Hong Fu dodged first and escaped more than ten miles in an instant, but his Taoist partner Tang Ruzhi was not so lucky.
