Finished digging?
White and Black Rakshasa were dumbfounded.
Calculating the time, arriving at this depression was at most half an hour. Even for a small-sized mine vein, it would take at least several hours to dig, right!
Indeed, relying purely on manpower to dig, no matter the scale, required expending large amounts of time. But Jun Changxiao had completely dug it clean. Calculating from when White Rakshasa started delaying time, it was at most just ten-some minutes!
Why so fast?
Because Jun Changxiao spent one hundred thousand contribution points to purchase a commodity called ‘Ore Harvester’ from the System Mall.
When he took it out and pressed the start button, Profound Stones existing in layer upon layer of soil seemed drawn by some force, scrambling to fly out.
“My god!”
Xiao Zuiji, Ye Xingchen, and others widened their eyes.
Block after block of Profound Stone drilled out from the soil layers, then merged into what seemed like an infinitely large container. The speed was so fast it was simply like a locust plague passing through.
Mining work that would take several days or even dozens of days was completed by the ore harvester in just over ten minutes.
“Ding!”
After all the Profound Stones were collected, a string of numbers displayed on the machine’s screen.
“Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands…” Jun Changxiao recited the long string of numbers, until he finished the last one. He directly grabbed his head, looked at everyone, then exclaimed in disbelief: “One point two billion!”
“That many?”
Ye Xingchen and the other three were also shocked.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
After brief shock, Jun Changxiao stood in the front row, Demon King Zilin stood in the second row, Ye Xingchen, Xiao Zuiji, and He Wudi stood in the back row. The five immediately jumped into Paradise Pure Land to express their inner excitement and joy.
Damn it.
A bunch of idiots!
Hua Meigui frowned: “Stop jumping. Black and White Protectors are still outside delaying Lingwei True Sect. We need to leave this place as soon as possible!”
“Right right!”
Jun Changxiao immediately returned to normal, promptly transmitting to Black and White Rakshasa, then led several disciples away from the cave first!
…
After receiving the retreat message, White Rakshasa immediately stated the main point: “A supreme treasure appeared on Cloud Mist Mountain. My brother and I just went to join the excitement—we had no intention of snatching it. Why did your Lingwei True Sect attack us without reason!”
“…”
Fifth Elder and others immediately collapsed.
Such a simple matter, yet insisting on starting from half a month ago, detailing eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating in between—this guy was sick, right!
“Not right!”
Fifth Elder remembered something: “When the treasure emerged on Cloud Mist Mountain, although our Lingwei True Sect sent people, we were just joining the excitement and didn’t participate. How could we have attacked you?”
“Didn’t participate?”
White Rakshasa scratched his head: “Did my brother and I remember wrong?”
“You two!”
Fifth Elder cupped his hands: “Back then, our Lingwei True Sect only sent two elders. Just as they reached the area, the treasure was snatched by someone else. There must be a misunderstanding here. Perhaps someone deliberately used our sect’s name to frame us!”
“Seeing you speak so sincerely, I’ll believe you once.” White Rakshasa said: “However, we’ll investigate carefully. If we confirm it was your Lingwei True Sect’s doing, we’ll definitely come to the sect personally to demand an explanation.”
“Let’s go!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The two transformed into flowing light, spiraling and intertwining as they fled.
Just left like that?
The Lingwei True Sect powerhouses’ expressions were a bit colorful.
Fifth Elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These two Sixth Turns didn’t press aggressively and escalate the situation to major conflict, which also avoided the possibility of the Profound Stone mine vein being exposed.
“Let’s go!”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Everyone headed toward the depression area, quickly passing through the already completely dissipated isolation formation. But when they stopped before the pit several hundred zhang deep, the muscles on their faces immediately froze!
The mine vein… had been dug?
Time didn’t allow them too much consideration. They immediately jumped into the pit. Seeing that inside the mine pit, besides scattered dirt clods on the ground, not a single Profound Stone remained, they stood there dumbstruck like wooden chickens.
“Pfft!”
Fifth Elder couldn’t suppress it and spurted blood on the spot.
They’d arrived at this place several days ago, just preparing to excavate when the demon beast guarding the mine vein appeared. To ensure the underground Profound Stones’ safety, they’d deliberately lured it away. Although they ultimately resolved it, when they returned… nothing was left!
“Fifth Elder!”
A powerhouse said angrily: “Those two people just now were definitely deliberately delaying time!”
“Pfft!”
Fifth Elder spurted another mouthful of blood.
When the truth was completely exposed, only then did he realize how lacking in intelligence he’d been!
“Detestable!”
Another elder clenched his fist: “Who dares to snatch our Lingwei True Sect’s Profound Stone mine vein!”
If Jun Changxiao heard this, he’d definitely spit in his face.
Clearly a public resource—you didn’t even dig out a hole yet, how do you have the nerve to call it your sect’s mine vein?
“Chase!”
Fifth Elder said angrily: “Don’t let those two escape!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Over ten Lingwei True Sect powerhouses flew out from the mine pit, heading in Black and White Rakshasa’s direction. As a result, after searching for a long while, they couldn’t find them at all, because they’d gone in the opposite direction.
Was this the end of it?
No!
Fifth Elder gradually calmed down, clenching his fists, furious: “Did Pei Sili tell others about the mine vein’s location, which is why someone got there first and dug it away!”
“Possible!”
“Let’s go—to Fuqian Sect!”
Strictly speaking, if discussing ownership rights of this Profound Stone mine vein, it definitely belonged to Pei Sili, after all he discovered it first. But to save his life, he gave the ownership rights to Jun Changxiao.
So how did Lingwei True Sect arrive first?
The reason was simple: Sect Leader Pei was unwilling to accept being beaten by Jun Changxiao and losing a mine vein, so he found this True-rank sect and contributed the specific location in exchange for becoming a subordinate sect.
In simple terms.
Jun Changxiao knew first, Lingwei True Sect knew later, but they had better vehicles and faster speed, so they arrived at the destination first.
It was also fortunate they came quickly—otherwise, Dog Egg would need to face a Sixth Turn level demon beast and might even have been fished in troubled waters by others.
…
“Awesome!”
After traveling far enough from the Demon King Cave, Jun Changxiao took off the night clothes and disguise, a brilliant smile appearing on his face.
In such a short time, obtaining one point two billion Profound Stones—for a newly arrived sect, this was absolutely enormous wealth.
Damn it!
Finally could straighten his spine!
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Black and White Rakshasa caught up from behind. Learning they’d dug one point two billion Profound Stones, their eyeballs nearly popped out!
“Sect Leader!”
Black Rakshasa said seriously: “This is an enormous amount of wealth. Lingwei True Sect absolutely won’t let it go!”
“Don’t worry.”
Jun Changxiao said nonchalantly: “With disguise masks and Concealment Technique, they definitely don’t know who dug away the Profound Stones!”
“But…”
Black Rakshasa worried: “We didn’t have disguises when we were discovered earlier.”
“True.”
Jun Changxiao stroked his chin: “That is a flaw.”
Anyway, the Profound Stones were already in hand—even if they knew, so what? At worst, he’d just stay cooped up in the sect developing peacefully and not go out.
Dog Egg’s principle was: things that entered his pocket were his. If you came asking for them back, he definitely wouldn’t give them.
…
Fuqian Sect, outside the great hall.
Sect Leader Pei, still in recovery, stood trembling, cold sweat streaming down his forehead, because standing before him were all Lingwei True Sect powerhouses.
“Esteemed seniors!”
After a moment, he said through gritted teeth: “The Ten Thousand Ancient Sect’s Sect Leader knows the location. The mine vein being dug away must have been his doing!”
