Two days later, Niu Yibao and Xu Feng received the mission to guard Mine No. 38 at the end of the Purple Gold Mine.
"Senior Brother Xu, let's go," Niu Yibao said as he rode on the Breeze Gourd.
"Okay!"
After Xu Feng finished speaking, he bade farewell to the Golden Core cultivator beside him and said, "Cousin, I'll go over first. If there's anything, contact me with a communication magic artifact."
During these two days in the courtyard, Xu Feng even met a cousin from the same clan. When he was young, they even played together. Later on, his parents needed to go to another immortal city to guard it, so they left together.
After the same batch entered the outer sect, because the cave abodes assigned by both sides were very far away, they did not contact each other much.
"Go, Cousin. When we get back, the Half Moon Restaurant of Little Shang Peak will treat you to a drink." A handsome and tall man waved his hand and smiled.
Above the clouds, Xu Feng and Niu Yibao flew side by side.
"So Senior Brother Xu is from the Immortal Turtle Xu Family. I respect you," Niu Yibao cupped his hands and said.
"Haha, the Gourd Niu Family is a Golden Immortal clan. Are you looking down on me by saying that you've been looking forward to meeting me for a long time?" Xu Feng frowned slightly.
"Senior Brother Xu, you've misunderstood. I definitely didn't mean that," Niu Yibao hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Haha, just joking with you."
"But your family is really powerful."
The two of them chatted like this and only reached Mine No. 38 after crossing 20,000 miles.
Xu Feng sent out a secret seal, and a large door suddenly opened in the area in front of him that had merged with the mountain.
After the two of them entered, they saw a small town.
At the end of the town was a large mine.
"Since you're here, I can leave. I hope you can guard this mine."
When the Nascent Soul Realm supervisor saw Xu Feng and the other two, he said something and left.
"Sirs, I'm the deputy supervisor here. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me directly," a middle-aged Golden Core cultivator walked over and said.
"Got it. Tell me about the situation of the array formation and the guards here." Xu Feng asked. Before he came, he had a slight understanding of the structure of the sect's spiritual mine.
"There are 30 guards, all Golden Core cultivators."
"This formation is the Golden Wall Octagonal Formation. Only Soul Formation Realm cultivators can break it. This formation was used to prevent demon beasts from causing trouble," the supervisor explained.
"I understand." Xu Feng nodded. Then, he brought Niu Yibao out of the concealment array.
"Senior Brother Xu, I have a Green-eyed Gourd here that can observe the movements within a hundred miles." Niu Yibao took out a small gourd with an eye carved on it.
"I have an Earth Pattern Cauldron here that can be used to monitor the ground. It happens to complement Junior Brother Niu's magic treasure."
A small yellow cauldron appeared in Xu Feng's hand. There were 20 pairs of Earth's Eye engraved on the small cauldron.
"At least there's no problem in detecting the enemy."
"The problem now is our combat strength." Xu Feng looked at Niu Yibao.
"A high-grade Golden Core that has fused with a Five Elements Gourd. I'm good at the five elements divine power."
Hearing this, Xu Feng suddenly felt a little embarrassed to say it.
"Medium-grade Golden Core. I have some combat experience and am good at Qi Explosion Technique and Wind Escape."
"To know better, why don't we spar and experience it?" Xu Feng said.
"Don't. The people from the Dark Yin Sect can attack at any time. We'd better maintain our condition."
"I trust Big Brother Xu's combat strength," Niu Yibao quickly waved his hand and said.
Just as the two of them were about to set up a detection treasure artifact, a huge net suddenly appeared in the sky and enveloped the two of them.
"Oh no!"
Xu Feng immediately grabbed Niu Yibao, who had yet to react, and used the Qi Explosion Technique to accelerate away from the range of the huge net.
"Oh, you have some strength. Since you can dodge my Thundering Net so quickly," a cold voice sounded in their ears.
"Junior Brother Niu, take care of yourself!" After Xu Feng placed Niu Yibao on the ground, he directly used a huge Qi Explosion Technique in the sky.
Observing the fluctuations emitted by the Qi Explosion Technique, Xu Feng quickly confirmed the enemy's location.
After being discovered, the disciple of the Dark Yin Sect stopped hiding.
A man in a dark red robe appeared in midair. Three lightning beads floated in Zhou Shen's hand.
"What a pity. After hiding here for so long, you actually reacted when I attacked."
At this moment, Niu Yibao, who was arranged by Xu Feng to stay far away, had just regained his senses.
Niu Yibao waved his hand, and seven gourds of different colors floated behind him.
Two of the gourds were aimed at the disciples of the Dark Yin Sect in the sky.
These seven treasure artifact gourds calmed the disciples of the Dark Yin Sect who were about to attack.
"What bad luck!"
After saying that, the disciple of the Dark Yin Sect turned into a bolt of lightning and dashed into the distance.
His speed was so fast that Xu Feng lost interest in chasing after him. It was not that he could not catch up, but he was afraid of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
"Seven treasure artifacts. How generous!" Xu Feng exclaimed.
He still had some insight and could tell that his Junior Brother Niu had high-grade treasure artifact gourds beside him.
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior Brother Xu!"
After putting away the gourd, Niu Yibao thanked him.
"You and I are originally in the same group. It's only right for us to support each other."
"Besides, we're still friends." Xu Feng smiled.
"Senior Brother Xu, I want to acknowledge you as my big brother," Niu Yibao said seriously.
"Just call me big brother. No need for formalities."
"Big Brother Xu," Niu Yibao called out seriously.
"Okay."
"Junior Brother Niu, set up your Green-eyed Gourd."
"I'll go set up the eye on the Earth Pattern Cauldron."
"Okay."
Two hours later, the detection magic treasure was set up.
The two of them were drinking medium-grade tea in the pavilion outside the array formation.
"Brother Xu, in the past few thousand years, the six immortal sects have developed very smoothly. Therefore, they all want to start a war to re-establish the division of interests in the Jade Cloud Immortal Domain."
"In the previous battle, our Golden Cauldron Immortal Sect lost to the Dark Yin Sect. We were very indignant, so we will definitely fight back this time."
"First, the outer sect competition will select a group of outstanding disciples to enter the inner sect. Then, they will slowly friction and fire. Finally, they will explode at a certain point."
"Once the war begins, the entire Immortal Realm will not be at peace." Niu Yibao described the future scene.
"These are troubled times. Isn't it good to live our own lives?" Xu Feng said with a pained expression.
"I heard from the elders of my clan that every Immortal Sect war will produce a few extremely outstanding geniuses."
"This is also the reason why the various immortal sects want to start a war." Niu Yibao's expression suddenly changed.
"Brother Xu, there's movement outside!"
"According to the spirit energy fluctuations, there should be 12 of them!"
"Let's go, call the guards and stop them!"
At this moment, a group of Dark Yin Sect disciples approached Mine No. 38.
"According to the report, the disciples of the Golden Cauldron Immortal Sect guarding this mine are not simple. Be careful later." The leader of the Dark Yin Sect disciples looked in the direction of Mine No. 38 with greed.
"10% of the total value of a large mineral vein is enough for me to condense an Immortal Spirit Divine Power even if I split it evenly."
At this moment, on the path that the disciples of the Dark Yin Sect had to pass through, Xu Feng led the guards and set up an ambush.
