“Treasure.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Thank you for the jinx.”
“…”
The System fell into silence.
From when the host came to search for the Profound Stone mine vein until finding it, he’d encountered absolutely no danger whatsoever—this was vastly different from the so-called dragon’s pool and tiger’s den!
He Wudi is inseparable from doors his whole life, and I have to be inseparable from getting slapped in the face my whole life?
Jun Changxiao took out the map again, carefully comparing it with the surrounding environment, finally confirming this was the place he was looking for!
“That guy didn’t deceive me!”
“Rich, we’re rich!”
Although he’d never seen an Upper Realm mine vein before, he’d dug quite a few in the Lower Realm after all. Such majestic gathered Heaven and Earth attributes undoubtedly represented that underground must hide extremely abundant Profound Stones!
What Jun Changxiao lacked most right now was money. If a mine vein could provide large amounts of resources, it would definitely be super awesome!
“Sect Leader.”
Black Rakshasa calmed down: “Could the Lingwei True Sect’s people have also discovered it? The big guy they’re entangled with might be the demon beast guarding the mine vein.”
“That’s perfect then.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Let them tie it down while we fish in troubled waters.”
“…”
Black and White Rakshasa’s mouths twitched.
If it was really like that, their current actions would be snatching a mine vein from a True-rank powerhouse!
Thrilling!
Too thrilling!
“Let’s go!”
Jun Changxiao jumped down first, and everyone followed closely.
Dense vegetation also grew within the depression. Inside existed demon beasts of varying strength, but because of the Concealment Technique, they didn’t discover humans were approaching the area where Heaven and Earth attributes were most concentrated.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Shortly after, Jun Changxiao and others stopped at the central area.
This was a relatively open area where one could clearly see with the naked eye the majestic Heaven and Earth attributes surging up, gathering in mist-like form in midair.
“Sect Leader!”
Black Rakshasa determined: “There must be a mine vein below!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao waved both hands. Dozens of small flags quickly flew out, inserting at the edge of the open ground, instantly gathering into an isolation formation!
The flowing cloud and water formation technique made Black and White Rakshasa sigh in admiration.
Just the Sect Leader’s understanding of formations—even in the Upper Realm, he’d have to be considered a grandmaster, right?
Absolutely.
Nearly ten years of research, even lost all his hair—it wasn’t wasted effort!
Moreover, after coming to the Upper Realm, he’d obtained illustrated manuals related to formations from Elder Taixuan. After studying them a bit carefully, his experience points could be said to whoosh upward.
Undeniably, since coming into contact with the Formation Dao, Jun Changxiao had relied on aptitude liquid to advance, but when researching the Seizing Heaven and Earth Creation Great Formation, he relied entirely on himself.
Don’t just overlook Dog Egg’s strengths because he often cheats, overlook his perseverance, overlook… bah, I can’t make this up anymore.
…
After the formation was set up, everyone no longer suppressed their cultivation, augmenting with various spiritual energy and starting to dig in the open ground.
Jun Changxiao’s division of labor was clear: he and the disciples were responsible for digging, Black and White Rakshasa were responsible for guarding. If Lingwei True Sect people came over, they must delay them or lead them away.
This Profound Stone mine vein—I’m claiming it!
For such natural treasures, it wasn’t whoever found it owned it, but whoever dug it up owned it!
No one could forcibly monopolize it unless they had absolute suppression in strength.
With Dog Egg’s low-key and unassuming personality, even if the mine vein was targeted by an Immortal-rank sect, as long as he wanted it, he’d definitely find a way to get it.
No choice.
Who told him his master was Tonggu Zhenren? Who told him he had backing that even the World Hall feared!
From this, one could see Dog Egg was walking deeper and deeper on the road of scamming his master. Although nothing had happened for now, when all kinds of conflicts fully erupted, they’d inevitably transform into massive burdens as heavy as Mount Tai.
Whether Tonggu Zhenren could carry them all would depend on how strong his Dao heart and strength were!
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao led his disciples working together digging. Under multiple playback acceleration, a pit several hundred zhang deep appeared, just touching the rock layer on the mine vein’s surface.
“Sect Leader!”
Xiao Zuiji held up a pure ore stone, extremely excited: “We’ve dug up Profound Stones!”
“Dig! Keep digging!”
Ye Xingchen and He Wudi’s emotions immediately soared as they dug, successively breaking through the surrounding rock layers, forming a hole-like opening. The scene presented in their vision was countless crystal-clear Profound Stones half-embedded in the soil!
“My heavens!”
Xiao Zuiji exclaimed in shock: “This many?”
He Wudi said seriously: “At minimum, it must be a medium-sized mine vein!”
Jun Changxiao said ecstatically: “We’re really getting rich!”
“Sect Leader!”
Just then, Black Rakshasa transmitted: “The Lingwei True Sect’s people are coming!”
Jun Changxiao hurriedly said: “The isolation formation will be discovered within a certain distance—absolutely don’t let them get close!”
“Yes!”
Black and White Rakshasa looked at each other. An intense feeling of thrill instantly surged into their hearts, then they flew out from the darkness, all cultivation fully released, killing toward Lingwei True Sect.
True-rank sects had Sixth Turn Core Formation Realm powerhouses. When the two had roamed the martial world in the past, they rarely provoked such forces. But now for the sect’s sake, they naturally didn’t care!
…
Speaking of the Lingwei True Sect’s people, after resolving the demon beast guarding the mine vein, they rushed over at maximum speed. Among them, a bearded man frowned: “Strange, how could there be people appearing in this area?”
The leading elder said: “Probably wandering cultivators breaking into the Demon King Cave who aren’t familiar with the route and accidentally walked in.”
“Fifth Elder just shouted once and scared them away—they should be wandering cultivators breaking into the forbidden area,” someone laughed.
The Lingwei True Sect powerhouses completely didn’t expect that those cowards not only hadn’t left but were boldly digging the mine vein. Moreover, because they had mining experience, their Profound Stone extraction speed was super fast!
Especially Jun Changxiao, releasing the Five Elements Earth to establish connection with the soil, Profound Stones fell off one by one. Xiao Zuiji, responsible for collection, ran east and west, busy beyond measure.
“Hahaha!”
That middle-aged man laughed loudly: “From the Heaven and Earth attributes gathered in midair, this is at least a medium-sized mine vein storing one billion Profound Stones. If we dig it all out, it can replenish quite a few resources for the sect.”
If Dog Egg heard this, he’d probably jump up in excitement!
One billion!
This might just be a small goal in the eyes of the richest man, but in the eyes of an ordinary sect, it was absolutely an astronomical figure!
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
When the Lingwei True Sect powerhouses were about to approach the depression, Black and White Rakshasa charged out from another direction, gathering various true energies without a word and launching an offensive!
“There are people!”
“On guard!”
Over ten Core Formation Realm cultivators quickly drew together, bringing out all kinds of martial arts and supreme treasures, completely dissolving the incoming energies.
“Swish!”
Black and White Rakshasa landed on a boulder, their voices ice-cold: “Didn’t expect to meet enemies here!”
Enemies?
The Lingwei True Sect powerhouses immediately realized they’d encountered vengeance seekers, but looking through the face cloths to see their true features, they discovered them to be very unfamiliar. They couldn’t help but wonder puzzledly—had the sect offended these two warriors whose strength was at Sixth Turn Core Formation Realm?
They hadn’t.
Black and White Rakshasa said this also to divert attention, to prevent them from thinking about the mine vein.
“You two.”
The Lingwei True Sect’s Fifth Elder said coldly: “What grievance exists between us?”
Their dozen-plus people could resolve a demon beast comparable to Sixth Turn, so naturally they wouldn’t fear Black and White Rakshasa. But after all, this place had a mine vein—they didn’t want outsiders to know, so they could only avoid fighting.
“Have you all perhaps forgotten what you did on Cloud Mist Mountain?”
“Cloud Mist Mountain?”
Fifth Elder and others were bewildered.
Lingwei True Sect had been to this place a thousand years ago, but none present were parties to that event, so they simply didn’t know what had happened there.
Right!
If they’d been on the scene, how could they fool them?
White Rakshasa said coldly: “Seems you’ve forgotten. This old man finds it necessary to inform you of the process, to let you understand the beginning and end, understand what’s meant by grievances have heads and debts have owners.”
His and Black Rakshasa’s purpose was only one: prevent the other party from approaching the isolation formation, delay as much time as possible.
Fifth Elder also worried the mine vein would be discovered by the two, trying to stabilize emotions and avoid the situation becoming serious, so he cupped his hands: “We’re all ears!”
My god!
So cooperative?!
White Rakshasa wasn’t polite then: “The matter starts from half a month before going to Cloud Mist Mountain…”
Delaying time was like rivers and lakes farewell padding word count—one chapter for a fight, one chapter for a move, one chapter for using a trump card. He’d learned the essence, long-windedly talking from half a month ago to the day of the incident, making the Lingwei True Sect powerhouses’ heads spin.
“Two brothers!”
Just then, Jun Changxiao transmitted: “Finished digging, retreat!”
