"For me, this trip to the ancient mountain of immortal crystals is imperative!"
Chu Chen's voice was soft but firm. "To tell you the truth, every time I ascend to a new realm, I need a huge amount of spirit treasures. I'm now at the most critical juncture of my cultivation. The resources I can get from this ancient mountain of immortal crystals will definitely help me break through to the realm I need."
In fact, even if Chu Chen didn't explain, Shi Yuyan and the others knew that he relied on a huge amount of resources to raise his realm in such a short time.
They had followed him to plunder resources everywhere and watched his realm soar like a rocket. Naturally, they knew this already.
Even the little girl Zhou Lin couldn't help but nod gently.
"But I don't want you to take the risk with me this time. The forbidden zone is already very dangerous, and now we know that it's the territory of the Empyrean Formation Breaking Team. We'll definitely die if we go there. So, you can wait for me near the ancient mountain of immortal crystals. Wait for me for thirty days. If I don't show up, you don't have to wait any longer."
Chu Chen said word by word.
Everyone was taken aback, but they soon realized that Chu Chen's words were for their own good. Immediately, many thoughts arose in their minds.
Their expressions changed.
Zhou Lin looked around and blushed. She summoned her courage and spoke first. "My cultivation is really low, and my combat strength is the weakest. I've never had the courage to go to the battlefield. Even if I brace myself and go with you to the forbidden zone, I'm afraid I'll only be a burden if you have to protect me."
Zhou Lin's voice was very soft, but everyone had to agree with her every word.
"In that case, I'll continue to do the logistics work of collecting information and wait for your triumphant return."
The girl smiled and made a victory gesture.
Chu Chen also nodded, his gaze sweeping over the remaining three people.
"I'll go."
Shi Yuyan was as cold as an immortal. Her face was calm and unruffled. "The Empyrean Formation Breaking Team is known as the greatest orthodox sect in this minor immortal world. To me, it's the biggest treasure trove. There's no harm in taking this opportunity to meet them. Besides, that immortal crystal mine that's rumored to disappear at any time is very attractive to me. I have no reason not to go."
When Chu Chen heard the demoness' words, he couldn't help but feel a headache. Toying with the genius disciples of the orthodox sects in the palm of her hand seemed to be this demoness' vile hobby.
But the disciples of the Empyrean Formation Breaking Team weren't so easy to control. This witch's habit of playing with fire would sooner or later.
"Then, I'll definitely go."
Lan Xuan's lips twitched....... Immortal crystals, an ancient mountain of immortal crystals......................................... haha..................................
"That's right. If you go, no matter what, you won't have to work for the old monster anymore."
........ "... Xuan Jie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke." Either you succeed in redeeming your freedom or you die inside. "
Chu Chen didn't expect the old cultivator to be so sharp.........
............... I'll die sooner or later. It doesn't matter where I die. "
Xuan Jie stroked his white beard and said in a deep voice. "I've lived for so long. This minor immortal world can sink at any time. I feel like I'm missing something if I don't explore this life forbidden zone. I'll go and broaden my horizons."
The three were more determined than Chu Chen imagined. He nodded and didn't say anything more. "In that case, let's go to that life forbidden zone together."
"Then I'll find a place and wait for everyone."
Zhou Lin said softly. Her eyes kept searching on the 3D map. After a while, she stretched out her fair finger and pointed at a city not far from the red dot on the map.
"Then I'll wait for your return in this stronghold. At the same time, I'll collect some relevant information."
The girl wanted to say something, but worry flashed through her eyes. She forced a smile and said, "If you encounter any difficulties in exploring the immortal crystal mine, remember to prioritize your own life."
Chu Chen nodded vigorously. Lan Xuan smiled without a care in the world. The old cultivator Xuan Jie silently raised his right thumb, indicating that there would be no problem.
Zhou Lin slowly put away the ancient mountain map and handed the jade slip to Chu Chen. The girl seemed to be thinking that everyone was about to enter the life forbidden zone. The smile on her face was always forced.
"Tomorrow, the extraditor will come to guide everyone into the immortal crystal mine. Senior Brothers and Sisters, you should rest early today. Keep your spirits up. The people of the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team … will definitely turn misfortune into fortune."
The girl looked like she wanted to say something but stopped. Everyone returned to their rooms.
Chu Chen estimated that everyone had fallen asleep. He opened the map again and silently memorized it in his heart for a long time. Then he closed the map and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, a series of rhythmic knocks came from the courtyard door.
Chu Chen, who had already washed up and memorized the map, walked forward to open the courtyard door.
He saw a fair-skinned, slightly plump middle-aged cultivator in blue robes standing outside the door. He wore the exclusive amiable smile of a businessman.
"You must be the honored guests who want to enter the immortal crystal mine where the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team is located?"
Before Chu Chen could answer, Zhou Lin nodded repeatedly.
The middle-aged cultivator cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I'm the guide in charge of leading everyone to the immortal crystal mine. You can call me Old Zhao."
"Senior Brother Zhao, please wait a moment. Everyone will be here soon."
After Zhou Lin led Old Zhao into the main hall, he hurriedly woke up Lan Xuan, who was still sleeping soundly. After about half an incense stick's worth of time, Lan Xuan, who was still sleepy, arrived. Everyone was considered present.
Thus, Old Zhao very professionally introduced the immortal crystal mine and the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team that controlled it.
As one of the top super formation breaking teams in the Small Immortal Realm, the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team had extremely strict rules and regulations. Normally, they wouldn't allow outsiders to casually enter the places they occupied.
Unless one became an official member of the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team, went through a series of tests and trials, and received permission from the higher-ups of the formation breaking team to enter the forbidden zone of life.
However, that would take far too much time. Chu Chen and the others didn't have that much time to waste on such things.
Thus, this method wasn't considered.
Fortunately, other than this legitimate method, there was another way for them to sneak into the immortal crystal ancient mountain.
It was simple and crude!
The most effective method was to go to the immortal crystal mine and do manual labor!
Mine ores.
Among the many large and small formation breaking teams in the Small Immortal Realm, the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team had always considered themselves to be the most orthodox sect.
At the same time, they had always been extremely repulsive and abhorred cultivators of the Evil Dao and Devil Dao.
If they encountered cultivators of the Evil Dao and Devil Dao, they would directly kill them if they found them an eyesore.
If they encountered Devil Dao cultivators who hadn't been caught, they would usually capture them as prisoners and send them to various secret realms and ruins to do manual labor.
The immortal crystal mine was also an important place that required manual labor.
