Right when the news of Happy appearing in Gusu City reached them, Profound Sky Sect, which had risen to power less than half a month ago but had become incredibly fierce, was instantly reduced to ashes. Some left, and some scattered. Not a single Profound Sky Sect disciple could be seen in Gusu City anymore.
Gusu Tower, which was built by Whirlwind Young Li, Eastern Green Gate, and the others, was sought after by countless people. When they learned that Whirlwind Young Li and Eastern Green Gate had been good friends with Happy since a long time ago, Gusu Tower doubled in size overnight.
When Happy returned to Gusu City and only had Whirlwind Young Li, Eastern Green Gate, and the others by his side, he deliberately asked about the tomb with traps downstream of the riverbed outside Gusu City.
"Oh, you're talking about that? That place is no longer a tomb with traps. It's now a crystal mine." Whirlwind Young Li was incredibly excited. "The tomb with traps was built there because the original master of the tomb intentionally sealed the path to hide the secret of the crystal mine. I didn't expect that it would benefit us instead. Heh heh, with a crystal mine as a resource point, the development of the sect will increase by leaps and bounds. Our sect members' income will also increase by leaps and bounds. If we dig out one unakite, we'll be rich."
"That's right. I didn't know that one resource point can bring in so much profit. A few days ago, dozens of our members in Gusu Tower dug out a few unakites and dozens of stones with water in one day. They earned us tens of millions." Eastern Green Gate's words caused Happy to feel a faint sense of shock and distance.
After a moment, Happy sank into deep silence.
"Use this crystal mine well in the future. If sects like Profound Sky Sect cause trouble for you again, just tell me." After all, this was Jiangnan. It was not just Chivalry Sect's territory. Mu Clan could also directly cover this place. If anything really happened, Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect could intervene in time.
"…"
When Whirlwind Young Li and Eastern Green Gate heard this, they looked at each other, and an embarrassed expression appeared on their faces, which was a rare sight.
Whirlwind Young Li's expression was complicated. He hesitated for a few seconds before he finally gathered his courage.
"Happy, I'm sorry …"
"Hmm?"
Happy was stunned.
Then, they saw Whirlwind Young Li, Eastern Green Gate, and the others put on very awkward and ashamed expressions. Whirlwind Young Li explained, "Our sect has just occupied the resource point and is developing it. When we heard you mention the crystal mine just now, we thought that you intended to take the resource point away. Say, aren't we being too petty?" Once they finished speaking, they practically did not dare look into Happy's eyes.
Happy smiled.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why the few of you had such a weird expression on your faces all the way here. So it turns out that you were worried that I would take over this place. Don't worry, I haven't reached the level of capital plundering to snatch things from the hands of my own brothers …"
"We —" Right when Eastern Green Gate opened his mouth, Happy spoke up again and interrupted him. "You don't need to say anything. I know that from the moment you built your sect, you're no longer just protecting your own interests. If you can't even protect the interests of the sect, how can you make your subordinates trust you? Don't worry, I understand. "
When he heard Happy's words, Eastern Green Gate swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue, and a touched expression appeared on his face.
The expressions of the others were much better, and they regained their previous calm and natural expressions.
During the conversation.
The group had already returned to Gusu City and entered Murong Mansion.
It was only then that Happy remembered that he still had something very important that he had not asked clearly.
He stopped moving.
"Xiao Li."
The latter also stopped in his tracks.
"I would like to ask, who completed the mission of the Mechanical Graveyard?" When they heard Happy ask about the Mechanical Graveyard, the people behind him put on strange expressions at the same time. Then, they cast their gazes at Eleventh Crane.
Eleventh Crane walked over. There was a faint hint of puzzlement and expectation on his face. "I was the one who completed the mission of the Mechanical Graveyard …"
Happy was first surprised and delighted. Then, he understood why Xiao Li and the others had the chance to be the first to develop the crystal mine at the lower reaches of the riverbed.
"This is what happened."
Happy's tone changed.
"I once saw an ancient tomb with mechanisms in the north. I would like to ask, did you discover anything strange in the ancient tomb with mechanisms?"
"Something strange?" A brilliant light shone in Eleventh Crane's eyes. He cast Happy a deep glance before he lowered his head without batting an eyelid. He brought out a snow-white item from his Universe Bag.
"Is this considered strange?"
A snow-white jade slit ring that looked like a comma and was in the shape of a Taiji symbol appeared in Eleventh Crane's hands. At the center of the large head of the jade slit ring was an exquisite, circular hole.
"It has no name, no attributes, no quest, and no information. I don't know if you're talking about this." As he spoke, Eleventh Crane handed the jade slit ring to Happy. As he spoke, he stared into Happy's eyes expectantly and nervously.
Happy only needed one glance to know that it was something from his memories.
However, he could not help but take it. He touched the jade slit ring and sensed its smooth, cold, and slightly warm body. He nodded.
"It's this."
"You know what this is? What's its use? "Eleventh Crane looked delighted.
In truth, he had taken this item from a puppet at the peak of Moksha Realm in the depths of the Mechanical Graveyard. The hardness of a Moksha Realm puppet was even stronger than Stone King, but he had spent most of a day and used a lot of unique arrows to whittle it down before he finally killed it.
That was the only thing he obtained!
And no matter where he went, he could not find any information about this jade slit ring. In fact, even diviners could not guess its origins. Half a month passed, and Eleventh Crane was incredibly disappointed.
But what he did not expect was that when Happy heard the words' Mechanical Graveyard ', he seemed to know that there would be such an item in the Mechanical Graveyard. At the same time he was delighted, he was also disappointed.
After all …
The jade slit ring was the most mysterious item he had obtained after spending a lot of effort. He did not expect that the answer would be in someone else's hands, and it was only natural that he would be disappointed.
"Looks like you still don't know the use of this thing …"
Happy could tell that Eleventh Crane was indignant and disappointed. He toyed with the mysterious jade slit ring in his hand before he handed it back to Eleventh Crane and said, "Open the map and take a look."
Eleventh Crane took it and did as Happy told him. Then, he shuddered, and disbelief appeared in his eyes. It was as if he had just experienced some sort of great shock.
"What's wrong?"
"Aside from me, there's another mark on the map."
Eleventh Crane finally noticed the secret of the jade slit ring because of Happy's reminder. "Just what is it?" In an instant, he was certain that Happy knew the secret behind the jade slit ring, and he became even more curious about the secret hidden in the jade slit ring.
"I don't know it as of now, but I know that there's more than one of these things, and the one in your hands is an incomplete item … If you don't mind, I'll use a fourth-echelon equipment to exchange for it," Happy said.
When he said those words, Eleventh Crane shuddered, and he froze on the spot.
Fourth-echelon equipment! Was this jade slit ring worth that much? Clearly, Happy's offer surpassed his understanding.
