Inside the metal veins, Fang Chen discovered after entering that there were a lot of metal veins here.

"If the Liufeng Sect is allowed to get the news first, they will definitely occupy the mineral veins. Now we can only hope that the senior officials of the Qingfeng Sword Sect can come quickly." Fang Chen said in a low voice.

After a while, Fang Chen entered the depths of the mineral veins. Within the mineral veins, there were many dark caves.

Fang Chen picked up a piece of metal ore and felt very heavy.

"What kind of metal is this?"

Fang Chen was a little confused and didn't know what this metal was.

However, just when Fang Chen was holding the metal ore in his hand, the golden heart suddenly beat rapidly. The next moment, the power of the metal ore was absorbed by the golden heart.

In a moment, the metal ore in Fang Chen's hand turned into powder. Fang Chen was also shocked by this scene.

"How is that possible?"

Fang Chen was shocked that the golden heart could actually absorb metal ore.

"Um?"

After the shock, Fang Chen discovered that after the golden heart absorbed the energy in the metal ore, Fang Chen's body actually became stronger.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Fang Chen can feel that his heart seems to have strengthened a lot.

"Can metal ores strengthen the heart?"

Fang Chen was overjoyed and immediately picked up a piece of metal ore beside him. A strange scene happened again, the metal ore was absorbed by the golden heart.

"As expected."

After the energy in the metal ore was absorbed, Fang Chen's heart became even more active.

After that, Fang Chen began to absorb the energy of metal ores wildly. An hour later, the golden heart absorbed the energy of a hundred metal ores.

At this time, a silvery luster actually appeared in the golden heart.

But for now, Fang Chen hasn't discovered what happened to the golden heart.

"Um?"

Just when the golden heart could not absorb the energy of the metal ore, Fang Chen was surprised to find that his realm had quietly broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm.

"How is that possible?"

Fang Chen was shocked. There were many talented disciples in the inner sect of the Qingfeng Sword Sect, but they were stuck at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm and could not break through. Unexpectedly, he broke through in a daze.

"Sixth level of Qi Refining Realm, my strength has increased a lot."

Fang Chen was overjoyed, his strength had grown by leaps and bounds, and now, among the top ten inner sects of the Qingfeng Sword Sect, he was almost invincible except for the mysterious Duzhong.

Fang Chen was very happy with the breakthrough in strength.

However, just when Fang Chen was pleasantly surprised, he suddenly noticed something strange.

"What?"

Fang Chen listened carefully and suddenly found a breathing sound coming from deep within the metal veins.

"Is it a monster?"

Fang Chen was a little confused and prepared to do some detection, but just as he was about to enter the depths of the mine, a roar suddenly sounded, and then a black shadow appeared instantly, attacking Fang Chen directly.

Bang……

In panic, Fang Chen punched the black shadow, and his body was instantly blown away.

"So strong."

Fang Chen felt his bones cracking and his body ached, but he instantly took out the Light Spirit Sword.

It was only at this moment that Fang Chen saw clearly that the person attacking him was a huge black ape. This black ape exuded a metallic aura.

"Does this black ape feed on metal ore?"

The light sword was swung, and the fast sword was instantly released. A powerful sword light instantly passed over Fang Chen's head and stabbed the black ape.

Click...

When the sword light hit the black ape, it collapsed instantly.

"What a strong defense."

Fang Chen was a little speechless. This ape was so powerful that he couldn't resist it at all.

Fang Chen pretended to attack, and immediately dodged and fell directly into a dark cave next to him.

It was at this time that the bloody skeleton entered the mine from the mountain peak and came in.

As soon as he came in, he heard the wild cry of the black ape. Fang Chen disappeared. The black ape was about to attack, but found that the target was no longer there.

However, just when the black ape was looking for the target, he discovered the bloody skeleton.

"roar……"

The black ape roared and fought with the bloody skeleton.

"Beast, seeking death."

The bloody skeleton was attacked for no reason. He was so angry that he used his unique skills. A rich blood-red aura emerged from his body, and he fought with the black ape.

After Fang Chen entered the dark cave, he ran away quickly. However, after running away for a while, he found that the black ape not only did not pursue him, but also heard the sound of fighting.

"Could it be that the top brass of the Qingfeng Sword Sect has arrived?" Fang Chen stopped, a little confused.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Chen was ready to go back to check, but Fang Chen was not in a hurry to go back.

He was waiting. After about half an hour, the sound of fighting had disappeared. At this time, Fang Chen decided to go back and take a look.

Returning along the original route, when Fang Chen came out of the dark cave, he suddenly spotted the lifeless black ape lying on the ground in the distance.

"The black ape is dead?"

Fang Chen exclaimed in shock, but when he saw the seriously injured bloody skeleton lying on the ground, his face changed slightly.

The bloody skeleton also discovered Fang Chen and said coldly: "Boy, I am seriously injured now. As long as you help me, I will definitely repay you well after my injury recovers."

Hearing the words of the bloody skeleton, Fang Chen sneered in his heart. Do you believe the words of the remnants of the Huangquan Sect? How is that possible?

"Dead skeleton, you almost killed me twice. I will kill you first today."

Fang Chen walked step by step in front of the bloody skeleton, preparing to kill the bloody skeleton.

"Boy, how dare you touch me?" The bloody skeleton was furious.

"Hmph, you are seriously injured now and can't resist my attack at all. Killing you is easy." Fang Chen sneered.

"Thief, I'm going to kill you." The bloody skeleton roared angrily.

Fang Chen took out his light sword and prepared to kill the bloody skeleton. At this moment, an idea flashed in Fang Chen's mind.

"Huh? Is the mind control technique effective against the bloody skeleton?"

Thinking of this, Fang Chen was filled with excitement. If the mind control technique could control the bloody skeleton, he would gain the combat power of the Qi Transformation Realm out of thin air.

"If I could have a puppet in the Qi Transformation Realm, I would be invincible in the Qi Transformation Realm." Fang Chen thought carefully.

Thinking of doing it, Fang Chen put away his light sword, closed his eyes slightly, and instantly used the mind control technique.

Hiss and tear...

In Fang Chen's mind, the blood-red flowers trembled, and a rich blood-red aura emerged from Fang Chen's body.

"Mind control? Boy, if you want to control me, it's impossible."

Seeing Fang Chen using his mind control technique, the bloody skeleton sneered and launched a resistance.

The blood-red mist enveloped the blood-red skeleton, but it was unable to enter the body of the blood-red skeleton.

"What's going on?"

Fang Chen said solemnly, the mind control technique was actually ineffective against the bloody skeleton.

Boom...

Just when Fang Chen was confused, the golden heart beat rapidly, and traces of clear water merged into the blood-red mist.

Suddenly, a scream was heard, and the bloody skeleton let out a miserable scream. The next moment, the blood-red mist all penetrated into the mind of the bloody skeleton.

"What is that?"

Following the angry roar of the bloody skeleton, Fang Chen finally completed the mind control technique.

Boom...

The clear current in the golden heart no longer flows out, and at this moment, Fang Chen also successfully controlled the bloody skeleton.

"If it weren't for the golden heart, I wouldn't be able to control the bloody skeleton at all." Fang Chen was excited. This is a puppet in the Qi transformation realm.

"Master." The bloody skull looked dull and shouted to Fang Chen, cupping his hands.

Fang Chen nodded, and immediately said: "You should recuperate here now, and find a place to hide before the senior officials of the Qingfeng Sword Sect arrive."

Hearing Fang Chen's words, the bloody skull nodded heavily and began to heal.
