"Qiu Shiyin?" Ji Chuan subconsciously repeated her name.
Qiu Shiyin tugged at Ji Chuan's sleeve and said slyly, "Since we're in the same profession, why don't we work together?
This mine is very big and has many Origin Demons. Outsiders are like headless flies. They might encounter seven or eight Origin Demons, but they won't be able to gain anything.
I, on the other hand, know the situation inside like the back of my hand. I can't be more clear about where the ores are the most abundant.
I'll be in charge of leading the way, and you'll be in charge of dealing with the Origin Demons you encounter. We'll split the harvest seventy-thirty. I'll take thirty, and you take seventy-thirty. How about it? "
Qiu Shiyin was very excited, as if she had discovered a great treasure.
So she was a little cultivator thief.
She took advantage of the fact that the Qiu Family had retreated from the Origin Stone Orchid mine and no one was guarding it to sneak in. She wanted to mine a batch of Origin Stone Orchid ores and make a fortune.
Ji Chuan finally figured out Qiu Shiyin's goal. The corner of his mouth twitched. "This is your Qiu Family's mine. It's not good to bring outsiders to mine your own."
"It's fine. I don't care about these details." Qiu Shiyin waved her hand generously.
"Besides, this is the Qiu Family's mine, not mine. What does it have to do with me?
But if I bring you guys around, then thirty percent of the Origin Stone Orchid ores will really be mine, "the little thief muttered softly.
The little thief's righteous words made Ji Chuan fall silent for a while.
He began to think about how this female cultivator could say such shameless words with such righteousness.
But in the end, he couldn't figure it out.
Lu Qingshan accepted Qiu Shiyin's words very well.
"Eight-twenty. We'll take eighty, and you'll take twenty." Lu Qingshan chuckled.
Qiu Shiyin immediately frowned and began to weigh the pros and cons in her heart.
After a long time, Qiu Shiyin nodded with a pained expression. "Alright, since you guys helped me deal with this monster ape, I'll take a loss. Deal."
"But can you guys do it? The Origin Demons here aren't weak." Qiu Shiyin was a little worried.
Lu Qingshan smiled and patted Ji Chuan's shoulder, comforting the little thief. "Don't worry, it won't be a problem."
"Alright! We've met an expert, a big backer! " The next moment, Qiu Shiyin blinked her eyes and made a gesture of cupping her face for Ji Chuan to see.
Unfortunately, this seemingly delicate action did not move Ji Chuan in the slightest.
"However, we saw your miserable state as soon as we arrived. If it wasn't for us, you might have died in the mouth of an Origin Demon." Ji Chuan countered. "I'm more afraid that you'll lead us into a wolf's den."
"There's no such thing as a hundred percent certainty. Accidents happen all the time." Qiu Shiyin wasn't embarrassed at all. She withdrew her hand gesture naturally and said, "Come with me. I'll show you if I'm reliable or not."
"Let's go and see the situation first," Lu Qingshan said. At the same time, he glanced at Qiu Shiyin's back and pursed his lips.
Did this female cultivator really have a big heart and love money as much as her own life, or was there something else going on?
Just a moment ago, he almost lost his life here. The next moment, he dared to carelessly bring two cultivators he just met into the dangerous mine again?
Ji Chuan nodded and did not object.
The three of them walked into the deep mine together.
After just a few steps, the mine tunnel began to become pitch-black. However, for cultivators, it was not a problem.
Night vision was a very basic ability for cultivators.
Lu Qingshan looked at the strange walls on both sides of the mine tunnel.
On the yellowish-brown walls, there were many strange claw-like marks. There were too many of them, densely covering the entire mine tunnel.
These should be the marks left by the Origin Demon.
Qiu Shiyin did not lie. She was indeed very familiar with this mine tunnel.
She led the two of them around. The claw marks on the walls on both sides of the mine gradually turned into bumpy ancient caves. Death Qi surged like a river and a withered yellow light flowed inside.
"There's something!" The next moment, Qiu Shiyin's eyes lit up. She reached into one of the ancient caves and pulled out a dark black stone surrounded by death Qi.
She used both hands to pry it open. The seemingly sturdy black stone was actually very brittle. Qiu Shiyin immediately pried it open.
Inside the black stone was a withered yellow orchid. Its petals were vivid and lifelike.
However, there was not the slightest hint of life on it. Instead, it was filled with a desolate aura of death.
This was the Origin Stone Orchid, a special mineral that was almost no different from plants.
"Roar …"
However, at this moment, a sinister Origin Demon suddenly pounced from the darkness.
The Origin Demon's face was dark green. Its fangs were sharp, and its large claws gleamed with cold light.
Its aura was much stronger than the Origin Demon Ji Chuan had just killed at the cave entrance.
This was a peak third rank Origin Demon.
The Origin Demon's aura immediately frightened Qiu Shiyin into crying out softly.
Then, she immediately covered her mouth, afraid that she would disturb the other Origin Demons.
Ji Chuan only snorted coldly when he saw this.
His gaze was sharp.
"Whoosh!"
A longsword, shining with boundless brilliance, flew out of his body and shot towards the terrifying Origin Demon like a dazzling rainbow.
"Roar …"
The third rank Origin Demon roared, its scarlet eyes filled with greed. It opened its mouth wide and its terrifying white fangs bit towards Ji Chuan's flying sword, as if it wanted to bite it to pieces!
"Ka ka ka!"
Blood splattered. The flying sword turned into a ray of divine light and shattered the Origin Demon's seemingly indestructible fangs into pieces. It then followed the trajectory and pierced through the Origin Demon's bloody mouth.
In the next moment, blood gushed out from the Origin Demon's enormous body and it died on the ground.
A third rank Origin Demon had been killed in one strike.
Qiu Shiyin was stunned for a moment. She couldn't believe her eyes at first, but then she excitedly said, "Wow, he really is an expert!"
In the darkness, Qiu Shiyin's eyes sparkled as she looked at Ji Chuan, seemingly worshipping him. "He's also a sword cultivator!"
In the next moment, Qiu Shiyin lowered her voice as if she had a second personality and advised herself, "Qiu Shiyin, sword cultivators aren't good men. They're even more attentive to the sword than dao partners. You can't be tempted or you'll be bullied."
Soon, Qiu Shiyin suppressed her excitement and walked over to the two of them with the Origin Stone Orchid in her hands. "Three kilograms of Origin Stone Orchid. How was it? I told you it was very reliable!"
Ji Chuan glanced at Qiu Shiyin and said in a low voice, "Take us to the place where your family's elder died."
"No!" Qiu Shiyin was startled by Ji Chuan's words and hurriedly shook her head. "The source demon that killed Elder Qiu is most likely still there. If we go and run into that source demon, won't we be sending ourselves to our deaths?"
"That's a terrifying Origin Demon that even elder Qiu couldn't defeat!"
"Take us there." In the darkness, Ji Chuan's voice was very firm.
Qiu Shiyin pitifully looked at Lu Qingshan for help, hoping that this easy-going cultivator could stop the cold-faced sword cultivator's suggestion.
"It's fine. Just take us there.
Don't worry, we're not stupid. We won't do something that will cost us our lives. "Lu Qingshan comforted her.
Qiu Shiyin glanced at Ji Chuan again. When she saw that Ji Chuan was still expressionless, she pouted and muttered something in a low voice. Only then did she turn around and lead the two of them inside.
The three of them walked a short distance.
With a loud roar, another Origin Demon pounced at the three of them from the darkness.
This Origin Demon had the head of a ghost and the lower half of a snake's body. Its entire body was covered in yellow scales.
"Boom!"
A sword light surged out and sliced the Origin Demon into pieces. Blood splattered everywhere.
