After all the True Stones were dug up, Ren Shan felt a bit of an urgent need, so he went to the deepest part to relieve himself. But just as he was going against the wall, a stream of light carrying even more explosive heaven and earth attributes emerged.

My goodness!

What is this!

“Sect Master, come quick and look!”

Jun Changxiao rushed over after hearing the news. Wisps of heaven and earth attributes visible to the naked eye seeped out from the earth, and his eyes immediately lit up!

Gu Chaoxi said happily, “Old brother, it should be the Mother of True Stones!”

“Dig!” Jun Changxiao ordered.

The disciples took out small shovels and began digging along the area where heaven and earth attributes permeated, quickly forming a man-made tunnel from top to bottom.

After digging about a thousand meters, they found the source of the heaven and earth attribute emissions—a large stone buried deep underground with flowing light swirling around it, truly gorgeous and colorful.

That’s right!

This was the mother of True Stones.

Nurturing a large ore vein in a godforsaken place was naturally also its doing.

“Old brother!”

Gu Chaoxi said excitedly, “This time we really are striking it rich!”

The heaven and earth attributes contained inside the Mother of True Stones were very powerful—this could be seen just from its appearance. But its true function wasn’t for absorption, but for nurturing more True Stones, so it could continuously reproduce. Its value simply couldn’t be measured with money!

“Can we move it?”

“Yes!”

Without another word, Jun Changxiao collected the heavy Mother of True Stones into his spatial ring, then covered his face, “Happiness came too suddenly!”

Ten billion resources.

A source that could reproduce.

Coming to Yuding Mountain Range was truly a super bountiful harvest!

……

Inside the cave dwelling.

Jun Changxiao, laden with gains, walked over and collected all the various diaries inside, leaving no clues behind.

All the True Stones had been dug up, but the attributes accumulated over the years hadn’t dissipated. Once the array formation failed, it would inevitably cause strong heaven and earth phenomena, thus attracting major forces. If they learned it was he who took them, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

“The host is very cautious.” The System said.

Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes, “Before having absolute strength to go hard against the whole world, I naturally must act cautiously.”

Going hard against the whole world—have you heard yourself speak?

“Right!”

Suddenly, a thought arose in Jun Changxiao’s heart, and his eyes brightened, “I can make some moves with the ore vein.”

“What moves?”

“Yuding Mountain Range belongs to the northwest region, and Empress Lingyao also happens to live here. When the ore vein emerges, will the major forces find their way to her?”

Dog Leftover was preparing to set up that woman.

However, how to make the major forces believe the True Stone ore vein was dug up by Empress Lingyao would require careful planning.

“What if when the ore vein emerges, she happens to be right there on site?”

The array formation system in the cave dwelling could only hold for half a year, but Jun Changxiao had already mastered it and could lift it at any time, thus triggering heaven and earth phenomena. If he could trick Empress Lingyao into coming over and then release it early, it would definitely be very interesting.

However, how to lure her over?

“Little brother.”

Jun Changxiao asked, “Is there a way to contact that woman?”

Gu Chaoxi shook his head, “Can’t contact her.”

He and Empress Lingyao had an agreement, but it was merely an agreement. Neither left any contact information.

“Actually…”

The System said, “The host doesn’t need to attract her over. You can send the trouble to her.”

“Send it over?”

Jun Changxiao asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

“Directly move the entire empty ore vein along with the array formation system and install it near Lingyao Fairyland, wouldn’t that work?”

The System had changed.

It started colluding with the host, started being a scheming military advisor.

“This…”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes brightened, “Good idea!”

The True Stone ore vein is right at your doorstep. After going in, there’s nothing inside. What will the major forces think? What will the Realm Hall think?

However… how to move it?

For items, just collect them in a spatial ring.

But this ore vein was really too large. Directly moving it definitely wouldn’t work, after all, it was too ostentatious.

Though the Tianyuan Prison Suppression Tower had storage capability, its internal space was limited. Otherwise, back then they would have sent the entire Tiegu Mountain inside for one person to smuggle across, the whole sect to ascend.

The System said, “If there’s a problem, check the shop!”

“Damn!”

Jun Changxiao thought to himself, “No wonder you were actively giving suggestions!”

Dog Leftover didn’t open the shop, but instead asked, “Master, is there a way to move this ore vein to another place without anyone knowing?”

Taixuan Elder said, “The True Stones are gone, why move it?”

“Can you or can’t you?”

“Can.”

Jun Changxiao’s heart leaped with joy.

The System collapsed, “This damn sect is full of talented people. The System shop feels like it’s at risk of being laid off.”

Indeed.

Although the ore vein was spoiled by an epic quest, getting here used the Tonggu Warship, finding it had the koi Ren Shan, breaking the array had Taixuan Elder. Overall, it relied more on the sect.

The ore harvesting machine contributed quite a bit, but it was merely icing on the cake, because the disciples could also dig it clean—at most it would just take more time.

In the past, Jun Changxiao would definitely cheat once for a thrill, cheat repeatedly for constant thrills. Now when encountering tricky problems, at least someone could step up promptly.

Actually, when establishing industries, this situation was already somewhat obvious.

When developing in the lower realm, Dog Leftover relied on Pill Pavilion pills and beast cores to amass wealth. The path now was similar, but no longer dependent on the System—instead hiring alchemists from the Pill Hall to make money.

Some might say, isn’t this still relying on Nourishing Soil?

Yes.

Currently, heavenly treasures cultivated with System items were very critical, but once pill shops gradually bloomed throughout the upper realm forming brand recognition, even selling regular pills would still generate considerable profit.

Jun Changxiao was working hard to de-systemize and hoped that in the future, even without relying on the shop, items, and other aspects’ help, he could still develop stably long-term, then righteously shout, “I, Jun Changxiao, haven’t cheated!”

“Ptui!”

The readers’ saliva all sprayed on their screens, the kind that couldn’t be wiped off.

……

The method to move the ore vein was simple—install a type of undetectable array formation in a fixed range, then openly carry it away.

Thus, Taixuan Elder began busying himself, inserting array flags in various areas. When the array formation completely connected, the entire ore vein was thoroughly enveloped, even seeming to be cut into a huge cube.

“Lift!”

Zhong Yi, controlling the Dark Destroyer, shouted loudly.

“Rumble!”

Instantly, one hundred mecha positioned inside the array formation simultaneously exerted force, directly lifting the empty ore vein and slowly flying it into the sky.

Because a high-level isolation array formation existed, even though a large piece of land was peeled away, it couldn’t be seen.

Reader: “Damn, I thought deploying so many mecha meant preparing to fight the major forces, to raise the might of Ten Thousand Ancient Sect, but it turns out they’re only used to move an ore vein!”

However, with the ore vein lifted away, the original location had a sunken area.

Jun Changxiao definitely wouldn’t leave exposed clues, so he immediately ordered Peiqi to fill the earth, quickly covering the missing area.

“Let’s go!”

“To Lingyao Fairyland!”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

In the readers’ perspective, an ore vein wearing an isolation array formation, carried by a hundred mecha, slowly left Yuding Mountain Range, beginning its wandering life, hence also called—the Wandering Ore Vein.
