443: A massive vein of rare stones has been discovered!

"Oh!"

"I came to see if there are any suitable Medicinal Pills."

"I recently discovered a new small immortal stone mine vein, and I'm preparing to go out on a mission!"

Su Ming said in a calm tone.

"A small immortal stone mine vein?"

Su Chen's eyes lit up immediately, and a glint of greed flashed across them.

Although a small mine vein doesn't offer high profits, its advantage lies in its extremely low risk, making it an almost stable source of income.

For Su Chen, it was practically a godsend.

"Oh? Did you go register the mission?"

Su Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried to ask as casually as possible.

He had already begun calculating how to maximize the profits from this.

"It's already been registered, just today."

Su Ming nodded, intentionally putting on a troubled expression.

"However, it would definitely be troublesome for me to go alone, so I also posted a team mission!"

Su Chen saw that Su Ming seemed to have some concerns.

He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Su Ming's arm.

Following that, he squeezed out a smile that he thought was kind, but to Su Ming, it looked incredibly greasy.

"Su Ming, that's not fair of you!"

"I've been needing some resources lately! You know how Cultivation costs so much."

Su Chen patted Su Ming's shoulder hard, his tone carrying a sense of closeness.

"We've been through life and death together, after all! Back in Black Rock Valley, it was... cough cough!"

Su Ming sneered inwardly upon hearing this.

But on the surface, he put on a look of being persuaded.

Su Chen continued to embellish, his expression as sincere as if he were acting.

"Charity begins at home; how could you not bring me along for such a good thing?"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't hold you back!"

Su Chen looked at Su Ming before him, as if he were looking at a walking, plump sheep.

Ever since he witnessed Su Ming's terrifying strength last time.

Su Chen had been extremely dissatisfied with every teammate he encountered in subsequent groups, feeling they were indecisive and took too many points.

This time, upon hearing Su Ming say he was going to mine a small immortal stone mine vein.

Su Chen joined without hesitation.

Setting aside the special circumstances of Black Rock Valley last time.

Normally, with Su Ming's combat power present, there would be no problem at all with this kind of low-risk mission.

Su Chen just wanted to drag Su Ming away from the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect to carry out the mission quickly.

He didn't want other Disciples in the Sect to come and share a piece of the pie.

"Taking a step back, even if we encounter problems we can't solve, have you forgotten?"

Su Chen lowered his voice, revealing a confident smile, his tone carrying a sense of superiority.

"I still have my Senior Sister! She can solve any trouble we encounter!"

Su Ming's lips curled into an imperceptible smile upon hearing this.

He pretended to be moved by Su Chen's words.

"Since you've said so, that would naturally be good."

"Haha, that's great! There's no time to lose, when are we leaving?"

Su Chen asked impatiently.

He just wanted to leave the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect to start the mission as soon as possible to avoid any complications.

"After I finish buying the Medicinal Pills here, I'll go to the Mission Hall to submit our team information, and we'll leave first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Alright!"

After hearing this, Su Chen left the Medicinal Pill Pavilion with an excited expression.

Su Ming watched Su Chen's departing back, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Only he knew that the recording crystal he submitted to Elder Wang had been tampered with.

On the surface, it appeared to be a small immortal stone mine vein, but in reality, it was a large immortal stone mine vein.

However, the large mine vein was underground and had been concealed.

...

The next day!

Just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Su Chen's figure had already been waiting for a long time outside the Mission Hall of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

"Just the two of us, let's set off!"

Su Chen looked at Su Ming impatiently, his eyes flashing with a desire for points.

He hadn't slept well all night, his mind filled with images of the final distribution of points.

Seeing this, Su Ming nodded, his expression calm.

"Alright!"

He handed a Jade Slip to Su Chen, with a route map marked on it.

"That place is near the Bone Demon Mountain Range, the journey is a bit long, so let's try to arrive as soon as possible."

The Bone Demon Mountain Range had complex terrain, but because of this, it often hid undiscovered resources.

A month later.

The two finally arrived near the immortal stone mine vein that Su Ming had discovered.

"Is this the place?"

Su Chen looked around, the smile on his face becoming even brighter.

He felt several eerie auras nearby.

The number wasn't high, completely within a controllable range; this was practically wealth delivered to his doorstep!

"There's no time to lose! Let's start!"

Su Chen could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.

Su Ming looked toward the mine vein not far away.

"You are responsible for collecting the mine vein, and leave the surrounding Eerie Creatures to me."

"Alright!"

Su Chen agreed with both hands to this division of labor.

He didn't like fighting in the first place, and being able to mine steadily was the best thing for him.

He even felt that Su Ming was truly a good person.

To actually leave such an easy and profitable job for him.

After the division of labor was clear, Su Chen rushed toward the mine vein impatiently.

"Heaven Slaying—"

Su Ming held the Great Void Immortal Sword, and with every strike, he precisely and swiftly killed a Heavenly Immortal Realm Eerie Creature.

He didn't use his full strength, just maintaining a just-right level of efficiency.

It didn't seem too easy, nor would it make Su Chen notice anything unusual.

At the same time, his gaze occasionally glanced at Su Chen, who was focused on collecting the mine vein nearby.

Su Chen was digging enthusiastically, his face overflowing with the joy of the harvest.

He didn't notice Su Ming's abnormality at all.

After seeing the other's actions, Su Ming turned his long sword and slashed fiercely at a cliff wall next to Su Chen.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the mountain rocks shattered, and dust flew everywhere.

A crack hidden deep within the cliff wall was ripped open.

The next second!

A wave of Immortal Qi, several times richer than before, surged out like a tide, instantly filling the entire area.

Su Ming intentionally put on a shocked and inexplicable expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This... this... this is actually a large immortal stone mine vein!"

On the other side!

Su Chen, who was focused on collecting the mine vein, was immediately attracted by this huge commotion.

The deafening sound and the rich Immortal Qi rushing toward him made him turn his head abruptly to look in Su Ming's direction.

"What?"

Su Chen's voice was slightly off-key due to shock.

Feeling the Immortal Qi surging from deep within the cliff wall, his brain instantly went blank.

"What did you say?"

He stumbled over to Su Ming's side and grabbed Su Ming's shoulder.

His voice was trembling violently, almost roaring it out.

"A large immortal stone mine vein???"

Unlike Su Ming's feigned shock.

After learning this news, Su Chen's face instantly turned pale.

His lips trembled, and there was no longer any greed in his eyes, replaced by extreme fear.

The first thing he thought of was not the rich resources of the large immortal stone mine vein.

But rather the Immortal King Realm Eerie Creatures lurking nearby, or perhaps even those already alerted and on the move.
