174: A false alarm caused by weak strength, shocking everyone with the beast blood mine

Ye An also noticed the change in Liu Bairan's expression at this moment!

Clearly, she had already harbored murderous intent!

But the problem was, the secret of the Xu Family had not yet been fully understood!

Moreover, Ye An didn't really want to completely fall out with the Xu Family!

Even if, for argument's sake, the benefits here were so great that abandoning the Xu Family wouldn't matter!

But the problem was, who could guarantee that the Xu Family hadn't planted other experts here?

Thinking of this, Ye An hurriedly shouted!

"Hold on, turn into smoke and dust!"

"These guards are not strong, they might not discover you!"

"If they really do, at worst, knock them out and drag them in!"

"Don't make too much noise yet, we don't know what's in this cave!"

Liu Bairan nodded upon hearing this.

She also wanted to know what the secret to the Xu Family's wealth was!

After all, if she could obtain it, she could exchange it for a lot of Cultivation resources!

And just as the two were communicating!

Sure enough, the person responsible for checking also sent a wisp of consciousness into the storage ring!

Liu Bairan also instantly transformed into a wisp of smoke and dust, hiding herself!

Indeed, because the opponent's strength was not strong, upon seeing the messy scene inside the storage ring, he directly gave up the search and withdrew his consciousness!

"Go, go, go!"

The other party urged twice, and Liu Bairan also breathed a sigh of relief, busily guiding Old Qin to walk towards the cave!

Ye An and the others also all breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that there was no danger!

However, what truly astonished them was just beginning!

As Old Qin led them into the cave!

Ye An and the others were astonished to see!

The entire cave was actually filled with Spirit Stones of all sizes!

These Spirit Stones were piled up on both sides of the passage like goods!

And the people coming and going didn't even glance at them, as if they had long been accustomed to it!

And as Old Qin continued to walk further in!

They then saw that these Spirit Stones were actually being pushed out by people here using carts!

Then they were placed in rows on both sides of the passage!

And as Old Qin arrived at a huge, arc-shaped space!

They were shocked to see!

It turned out that these Spirit Stones placed on both sides were there because the rooms specifically for storing Spirit Stones were already full!

With no place to put them, they were piled up by the roadside!

And looking at the dense Spirit Stones throughout the entire space, even Liu Bairan couldn't help but swallow her saliva!

The total number of Spirit Stones here was definitely astronomical!

And the only reasonable explanation for this situation was!

This place was a Spirit Stone mine!

"No wonder the Xu Family is so rich, damn it, this place is actually a Spirit Stone mine!"

Monkey couldn't help but say!

Qin Ruyan also hurriedly said!

"I'm afraid it's not just a Spirit Stone mine, there's probably a Spiritual Vein hidden nearby!"

Although Ye An didn't speak, he had already thought of this possibility!

After all, to mine so many Spirit Stones, besides there being a Spiritual Vein nearby.

He couldn't think of any other possibility!

However, just as Ye An and the others thought this might be the core secret of the Xu Family's wealth!

What happened next completely overturned their understanding!

Under Liu Bairan's guidance, Old Qin quickly returned to his own room!

It was actually just an underground cave!

After Old Qin entered, Liu Bairan guided him to close the door.

The doors here didn't have a deadbolt function, so it was clear that Old Qin's status here wasn't high!

And as he entered the room, Old Qin fainted!

Liu Bairan also flashed, bringing everyone out of the storage ring!

However, soon as they began to examine the situation of the entire room.

They were surprised to find!

This so-called room was not just a single room!

At the very back of the room, there was also an excavated mine!

Simply put, Old Qin might have been a worker with some status among the miners.

So his room had a mining workstation inside.

He could rest directly here when he was tired from work, unlike other workers who worked and rested in groups!

Only as everyone came to the mine face.

They were astonished to see!

The mine in Old Qin's room was not ordinary Spirit Stones!

But blood-red beast blood stones!

Which were the few blood-red Spirit Stones that Liu Bairan had previously obtained from Xu Chuang!

beast blood stone is a general term for Spirit Stones stained with beast blood!

And jiao bloodstone is one of them, formed after being infiltrated by the blood of a Jiao Dragon!

Ye An and Liu Bairan had initially thought that Xu Chuang's ability to obtain this thing was purely due to wealth and coincidence!

As a result, they didn't expect that his family actually occupied a complete beast blood stone mine!

"These stones, I want them!"

Liu Bairan looked at the entire wall of jiao bloodstones in front of her, and her eyes couldn't help but straighten!

Ye An said!

"Then find a way to control this place!"

"The people of the Xu Family are generally not strong!"

"Even if there are strong individuals stationed here, it shouldn't be too exaggerated!"

"With your strength, you should be able to control it!"

"But the problem is, how can we maintain long-term control?"

Liu Bairan said!

"That's not my problem to consider, aren't you smart!"

"You solve it!"

Ye An heard this and felt his head swell, thought for a moment, and said!

"Then let's take it step by step, you first find a way to control this place!"

"Ruyan, you lead people to help Bai Ran!"

Qin Ruyan hurriedly nodded!

"As for the Xu Family, if we can completely control this place, we can send people to give the Xu Family some benefits on time!"

"So that he doesn't notice the abnormality here!"

"As long as we control it for a few months, we can also get a lot of benefits!"

Everyone nodded upon hearing this!

After all, Xu Xiao doesn't live here, so as long as they control this place and give him benefits on time!

He shouldn't suspect anything.

The longer they can control it, the more profit they make!

As for the future, Ye An was too lazy to think about it anymore!

After all, this Spiritual Vein wouldn't run away, and if the Xu Family discovered it, they would expose the matter sooner or later!

Once it spread, even the Jiang Family would get involved!

So they could only try to gain as much profit as possible before the Xu Family noticed!

In addition, Ye An was considering whether to notify Xu Chuang to go back and negotiate with his father!

After all, Xu Chuang had pledged allegiance to him, and it was indeed possible that he could persuade Xu Xiao!

However, this was a last resort!

They definitely wouldn't choose it now; the first choice was to hide it for as long as possible!

Liu Bairan was not interested in these things and said!

"I'm going out to gauge the strength of the people here!"

"If possible, I'll directly block the exit, and then you all can directly control this place!"

"If there are strong individuals, we'll discuss it again!"

Ye An nodded, and then Liu Bairan slipped out of the room first!

Ye An then called Qin Ruyan closer!

"You start gathering people; once Bai Ran gives the signal, act immediately!"

"Mm!"

Qin Ruyan nodded.

They all had communication stones, so Ye An didn't need to convey anything!

And just as Ye An was arranging the tasks.

Suddenly, Monkey, who was guarding the door, shouted!

"Boss, a woman is coming this way!"

Ye An was stunned when he heard this and hurried to the door!

Sure enough, he then saw a Red-Clothed Woman about ten meters away, walking directly towards them!

Judging by the direction, she seemed to be heading straight for Old Qin's room!

Seeing the urgent situation, and Liu Bairan was not there!

Ye An had a flash of inspiration, hurriedly put on Old Qin's jacket and hat, and said!

"I'll lead her away, you all wait for the news!"

Everyone hurriedly nodded.

Then Ye An opened the door and walked out.

Then he lowered his head and walked directly towards one of the empty mine tunnels!

"Why does this Old Qin feel strange?"

"When did he walk with such vigor?"

The Red-Clothed Woman was also stunned when she saw Ye An walking directly towards the mine tunnel!

Then she actually hurried to follow!
