Chu Chen discovered that these hoes used for mining were all treasure-level magic tools. Jiutian's generosity was definitely not something an ordinary formation breaking group could compare to.
The few white-robed disciples left after a few words. The cultivators also wandered around with their hoes, beginning to search for a suitable place to dig.
This canyon contained a mysterious force that prevented spiritual senses from probing.
No matter how high one's cultivation was, it was impossible to find out whether there were ruins below. One could only rely on experience, intuition, and luck.
In this barren canyon, everyone split up to search, like headless flies, running around aimlessly.
After all, in such a large canyon, how could intuition be effective?
It was purely based on luck!
"Crack!"
With a muffled sound, the green-robed elder explored alone. He held a compass-like treasure and seemed to be calculating something. Finally, he walked to a slightly protruding piece of ground a thousand feet away from everyone. His eyes lit up, and the crystal hoe in his hand smashed heavily on the ground.
The black soil inside this canyon looked similar to the other outer lands, but if one looked closely, the sand in this canyon was incomparably sparkling and translucent. They were actually some kind of crushed crystal particles, incomparably dense and heavy.
Although the green-robed elder was old, he was swift and decisive.
The rich spiritual power of the Spirit River Realm was injected into the hoe, causing the hoe blade to emit a sharp light that was several feet long.
With a swing of the hoe, he only dug a small hole in the ground. Such a difficult black soil to dig instantly caused everyone's expression to change.
A Spirit River Realm cultivator was a terrifying existence that could destroy mountains and break mountains outside.
With a full swing of the hoe, even a giant wall could be smashed to pieces.
But here, he could only dig a small hole!
This place … really made people feel terrified!
The green-robed elder seemed to have identified this place and began to dig with all his might.
The other cultivators were influenced by the green-robed elder. One by one, they found a piece of black soil that they could feel. They all started to dig, and soil flew everywhere.
Everyone had the desire to survive. No matter how hard the black soil was, they all gritted their teeth and dug crazily.
In the blink of an eye, more than four hours had passed. Everyone was beginning to show signs of fatigue. Even the green-robed old man's forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat.
However, when he dug out a large pit with a radius of more than ten feet, what was revealed at the bottom of the pit was not the ruins he expected, but a piece of fiery red crystal.
He had failed!
The green-robed elder sighed. In this immortal crystal mine, crystals were everywhere. Their spiritual energy content was low and they were completely useless.
The Primordial Ruins were the ultimate goal, as it contained a great secret.
He had been misled by this rubbish crystal.
The green-robed elder chose to fail the first time, but the other cultivators continued. After all, the ancient ruins were not something that could be dug out in a short period of time.
Logically speaking, it should be a piece of cake for a cultivator at the Spirit River Tier to dig up anything.
After all, when one's cultivation reached this level, one's spiritual energy and physical body would have undergone several earth-shaking transformations. They would have instinctive senses, similar to "Sudden Inspiration".
When this instinctive sixth sense was strengthened to a certain extent, it could be used to avoid disaster.
Where there was good stuff, where there was danger, they could instinctively sense a part of it.
The green-robed elder could not help but feel sad. However, in this canyon mining area, this feeling was disturbed by something.
There was a pain like a phoenix without feathers that was inferior to a chicken!
Most of the cultivators were like the green-robed elder. They clearly instinctively felt that a certain place should be an area where the Primordial Ruins were buried. They worked hard for several hours, but in the end, what they dug out were either large pieces of crystal or pieces of shattered crystal stones.
Basically, they found nothing.
In this place, a cultivator's instinctive senses were completely useless!
When an entire day passed, the exhausted cultivators once again carried their hoes and returned to the gathering place. Everyone's faces were filled with dejection. Their lack of results was written all over their faces.
However, when everyone saw that Chu Chen had actually been sitting cross-legged on a piece of bluestone with his eyes closed, they could not help but feel angry.
This brat actually did not make a move to dig for the whole day. Everyone's expression suddenly became unfriendly. Originally, there were many people who were dissatisfied with him. At this time, there was finally someone who could not sit still.
"Ling Xi brat, everyone is desperately looking for the ruins so that they can complete the mission as soon as possible. You've been sitting here alone for an entire day, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that you're just going to sit here and enjoy the fruits of others' hard work? "
A fat cultivator took the lead to speak up. A pair of inverted triangular eyes stared unwaveringly at Chu Chen, revealing an unforgiving and unkind taste.
"That's right, we've worked hard to dig for an entire day. Our entire body's spiritual power is exhausted, and our palms are covered in blisters. Yet, this brat is still sitting here comfortably without moving. Are you still human?"
"What do you think you are? Coming here, you should have the awareness of being a laborer. Could it be that you're weak and you're right? You're just in the Spirit Stream Realm, so everyone should give in to you? "
Under the aggressive fat man's lead, several cultivators erupted in anger.
The cultivators had worked hard to dig for an entire day, but in the end, they had not found anything. Everyone was somewhat angry in their hearts.
At this time, when they saw Chu Chen in such a leisurely state with his eyes closed, this anger immediately erupted.
The cultivators with good self-restraint endured it, but the cultivators with bad tempers directly lost it and began to question Chu Chen in all kinds of ways.
Chu Chen's expression was indifferent as he closed his eyes, as if he were deaf. He did not pay any attention to the crowd's questions.
It was unknown whether he had fallen asleep or not.
The fat cultivator gritted his teeth and was about to step forward and push Chu Chen.
The beautiful woman in red finally could not sit still. She put down the hoe in her hand and walked in front of Chu Chen with a whoosh. She waved her hand, indicating for the fat cultivator to leave.
"What's with the noise! Junior Brother Chu's cultivation is the weakest. He stayed in the fog for so long that his cultivation and physical body were affected. What's wrong with resting for a while? "
The beautiful woman in red sneered. "You've been busy for so long, but haven't you found anything? Let's talk about it after he's rested. I'll take his share of the digging. I'll dig a little longer! "
"You?"
The fat cultivator looked at the beautiful woman in red angrily. This woman had already protected Chu Chen in the open and in the dark several times, which made him very unhappy. He raised his eyebrows. "Ye Man, what's your relationship with this brat?"
Chu Chen's heart moved. He only knew the name of this beautiful woman in red now.
However, the beautiful woman snorted and said with a smile, "Do I need to report my relationship with him to you? Fatty Qian, who do you think you are? You should first worry about how to dig the ruins so that you can survive! "
The fat cultivator named Qian Hao frowned. In terms of cultivation, he could not see through this beautiful woman in red at all.
However, from the fear the white-robed disciples of the Nine Heavens had towards her, she was clearly not simple.
Therefore, he instinctively told himself that this mysterious woman must not be provoked.
