"You! Don't look around. I'm talking to you. Come here!" The supervisor at the cave entrance pointed at Yue Qianchou and shouted rudely. Only then did the latter realize that the people in front of him had already gone in. He hurried over.
The supervisor took out a bronze mirror and shone it at him. A white light flashed on the mirror.
Could this be a magic tool? While he was still puzzled, the supervisor pushed him into the mine. "You're dressed like a dog. Next! "
He heard the words of the supervisor behind him, but he didn't think much about it. He looked around the mine. It was pitch black. He really didn't know how to dig spirit stones in this kind of environment. He slowed down and walked in. After his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, he heard the sound of several people running in. Gold ingots dropped in front? He really had to give it to them. They could even run in this kind of environment. While he was shaking his head, he suddenly noticed that there were sporadic lights on the walls around the mine.
What was this? As he moved forward, there were more and more sporadic lights. They covered the four walls, even under his feet. It made him feel like he was walking on a starry avenue. When he got closer, he discovered that they were actually fluorites. They were obviously not installed by humans. They were naturally formed. This also explained why he could dig for spirit stones in the cave even without any light.
He stood at a few forks in the tunnel and was choosing which one to enter. Suddenly, another miner rushed into each of the forks in a hurry. Although he didn't know why, there must be a reason why everyone was so anxious. Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate anymore. He randomly picked a hole and quickly walked in.
The mine was deep and low. The deeper he went, the more crossroads he found, like a spider web. This place was like a maze. He was really worried that if he went in too much, he wouldn't be able to get out. Frowning, he shook his head and scolded himself for being stupid. Since the terrain was downward, when he wanted to go out, he just had to go to a higher place.
He could already faintly hear the sound of people digging in many of the holes. He didn't know where to dig, so he picked a hole with a louder sound and went in.
Ding ding ding … Hearing the sound, he turned a corner. There were several low-grade spirit stones on the ground, including a middle-grade one. A miner was waving his pick and digging with all his might.
"Ha! Not bad, not bad. I've already gained something. " Yue Qianchou smiled enthusiastically. As he spoke, he put down the basket on his back. He held the pickaxe and looked around, looking for a place to start.
The tinkling sound suddenly stopped. He turned around and saw that the miner was looking at him warily. He nodded and smiled again. Obviously, the miner did not welcome him. His smile was a little awkward.
"Get out! I discovered this vein first, "the miner said bluntly. Yue Qianchou was a little angry. Damn it! We're all miners, so why are you chasing me out? However, he couldn't see through the other person's cultivation level. It was obvious that the other person's cultivation level was higher than his.
A little impatience will spoil great plans! Even though he was unhappy, for the sake of his great cause of stealing spirit stones, he decided to swallow his anger. He rolled his eyes, picked up the basket, and walked out with a sullen face.
What happened next was the same. In every small hole, there was a person digging. When they saw him, they would bluntly announce, "This is my territory, get out!" What made him most discouraged was that almost everyone he saw had a higher cultivation level than him. He wanted to find someone to vent his anger, but there was no one to vent it on.
Now he finally understood why those people ran after entering the mine. They were all afraid that the spirit stone vein they discovered last time would be taken by someone else, so they rushed to take over.
In a fit of anger, he walked towards the deepest part of the mine. He didn't know how many years he had been digging, how long he had walked, and how many turns he had taken. Finally, he reached the end of the mine.
"Damn it! There shouldn't be anyone chasing me out here! "He cursed and put down the basket. He held the pickaxe in his hand and couldn't help but feel excited. In front of him was a dead end. It was as if he could see the spirit stones waving at him.
He raised the pickaxe with both hands and started digging. Ding!
"Damn it!" Yue Qianchou screamed and threw the pickaxe to the side. He raised his numb hands and sighed. He shook his hands and picked up the pickaxe to test it on the surrounding walls. Ding, ding, ding. Everywhere was as hard as stone. No wonder the sound of digging sounded like blacksmithing. He was too impatient.
He tried again and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How was this digging? This was clearly digging a hole in a stone mountain. In the past, he really didn't know that spirit stones grew in such a place. The amount of spirit stones used by so many people in Aung Kwang-tsung depended on these people to dig them out bit by bit. Even though he heard that there were other spirit stone mines in other places, the miners there probably didn't have it easy either.
He tried to inject qi into the pickaxe. Ding, ding, ding. Sure enough, it started digging. Yue Qianchou was extremely excited. He swung his arms and dug with all his might.
It was good to have enthusiasm for work, but not being able to produce results was often the most painful thing. He dug for a long time. Not to mention spirit stones, he didn't even see a single hair. With the continuous consumption of the Qi in his body, he was unable to keep up with the expenditure. At this rate, he would die of exhaustion before he could dig up any Spirit Stones.
He wasn't a reckless person. He immediately stopped and decided to figure out what the problem was.
Based on the limited common sense from his previous life, the first thing he could confirm was that things such as gold and precious stones all had their own veins and directions. He believed that the same principle applied to spirit stones. The fluorite that could be found everywhere should be associated with spirit stones.
This cobweb-like hole must have been dug by the miners in the past. If they stopped here, did it mean that there were no more spirit stones ahead? He didn't understand this point, so he couldn't make a judgment. He wanted to find someone to ask, but the miners here would probably get the same result. No one would tell him. What a headache!
"Damn it! Why am I so stupid. " Yue Qianchou slapped his forehead in annoyance. Sister Bai's Fox Clan was an expert in digging holes. He should ask her. He carefully looked around. After confirming that there was no one, he picked up the tool and disappeared.
"Sister Bai, help! Uh … "Yue Qianchou, who returned to his own territory, shouted a few times and stopped. A forest suddenly appeared in front of him. The bamboos were swaying, and a familiar melody came from the forest. If it wasn't for the purple chaos around him, he would have suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.
He walked into the forest in doubt. A green and exquisite bamboo house appeared in front of him. The style was very retro. The bamboo house was surrounded by a bamboo fence. There was a small bamboo pavilion inside, and a beautiful woman in white was playing the zither and singing. Who else could it be if not the white fox?
Yue Qianchou, who was relieved, looked around again and smiled with satisfaction! Looking at the white fox playing the zither and singing, he couldn't help but admire it. As expected of an artist, its aesthetic standards were higher than ordinary people.
The forest surrounded the bamboo forest, and the bamboo forest surrounded the bamboo house. The environment was quiet. He didn't expect that the thing he had thrown in a few days ago would be turned into this by the white fox in just a few days. The layout was appropriate and pleasing to the eye.
He walked in with a smile. Although the white fox didn't even raise her head, with her late stage Tribulation Passing Stage cultivation, she would definitely know that he had come. Yue Qianchou walked to the pavilion and called out, "Sister Bai!"
Unexpectedly, the white fox didn't pay attention to him. She didn't even raise her head. Yue Qianchou's heart skipped a beat. She had a problem with him. He didn't know how he had offended her, but it wasn't a good thing. He was just about to ask her for help.
Yue Qianchou sat at the side with a mischievous smile. He stuck his head out and said, "Yo! Whose beauty is playing the zither? Beauty, this young man greets you. Beauty, beauty, beauty … "
To be honest, after this younger brother left her here, she couldn't even see his shadow for a few days. It made her feel like she had just been released from captivity and was trapped again. How could she not be angry? However, she couldn't do anything about this shameless person. She ignored him, but he kept calling her beauty.
The sound of the zither stopped. The white fox's face turned slightly red. She raised her head and said angrily, "Do you still remember that you have a sister like me? If you have the ability, then don't come back … Are you digging for spirit stones? "The last sentence was said when she saw the thing in Yue Qianchou's hand.
Yue Qianchou was stunned. The white fox's words made him feel a little strange. It was like a wife who had been living alone at home for a few days and finally saw her dead husband. The thought flashed through his mind. He avoided the question and replied, "Sister's eyes are really sharp. You saw through it with one look …" He then told the white fox about how he was punished to do hard labor in the spirit stone mine. However, he hid the fact that he had wronged Wu Baoru. This kind of feeling was understandable. No one would want to expose their despicable and shameless side to the public.
He told the white fox that because he had offended Sect Leader Aung Kwang-tsung, and now that his master was dead, he was immediately attacked by the sect leader for revenge. He was sent to the spirit stone mine to do hard labor. If he couldn't complete the task, he would face severe punishment.
"A dignified sect leader is actually so narrow-minded." The white fox frowned. She stared at the smiling face in front of her and said, "You have the golden bead. If you want to escape, no one in Aung Kwang-tsung can stop you. Could it be that you are here to ask for my help?"
"Haha! Sister is wise. I haven't even said it and you already know. "Yue Qianchou laughed.
The white fox was slightly annoyed. She took out the Mountain Piercing Claw from her waist and threw it to him.
Yue Qianchou hugged the item and smiled from ear to ear. He stood up and was about to leave. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "At the entrance of the mine, I saw Aung Kwang-tsung's disciple holding a bronze mirror and shining it on my body. Sister, do you know what it's used for?"
"It's just a very ordinary magic tool. It doesn't have much use. If someone secretly absorbs spiritual energy or hides spirit stones on their body, it's very easy to find out. All the big sects in the cultivation world use it in their spirit stone mines. Why do you ask? "The white fox asked curiously.
"It's nothing. Sister, if I put spirit stones in the golden bead, will the magic tool be able to find them?" Yue Qianchou asked again.
The white fox lightly shook her head and said, "It can't even find spirit stones in storage bags. I think it's even harder to find the space inside the golden bead."
"Oh!" Yue Qianchou heaved a sigh of relief. He nodded and said, "I was worried to death. Since it can't be found, then I'm relieved. Sister, I'll leave first. "
"Ah … You …" The white fox was stunned. This bastard is probably asking this to steal spirit stones. If that's the case, wouldn't I be helping the evildoer? When she came back to her senses, she wanted to stop him and ask him questions, but he was already gone.
