105: Chapter 105 Where is the main ore vein?

【You have mined a High-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points +1.】

"Whoa, that's a lucky start."

Zhao Yi dug the High-Grade Spirit Stone out from the rock.

It drew a round of cheers.

With Zhao Yi in the mine, the overall mining speed increased rapidly.

Especially after the Teleportation Array was built, the progress was even faster, with Spirit Stones being dug out continuously.

As for Zhao Yi, after digging up that one High-Grade Spirit Stone, he didn't find anything else.

In this one day, Zhao Yi had already confirmed that the Baiyu Mountain Spiritual Vein was undoubtedly a large-scale Spiritual Vein.

"Truly impressive."

"Reporting a large-scale Spiritual Vein as a small-scale one, how many Spirit Stones are they embezzling every year?"

Under the setting sun, Zhao Yi's voice echoed in the mine.

"Everyone, it's time to go back."

"Otherwise, when the Bai Family Cultivators and Wuxiang Sect return, I won't be able to protect you."

After confirming the quality of the Baiyu Mountain Spirit Stone mine with the help of many Loose Cultivators, Zhao Yi sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, waiting for the reaction of the Wuxiang Sect and the Bai Family Cultivators.

This wait lasted all night.

The next morning, as Zhao Yi was watching the sunrise, Bai Dashi landed in front of him.

Upon landing, Bai Dashi did not hesitate in the slightest. "Suppress!"

Zhao Yi was suppressed in the Void Realm by a great force. "Formation, rise!"

Then, clouds and mist shrouded the entire Baiyu Mountain; clearly, there were other Cultivators helping on the perimeter.

"Die!"

A blade light flew out from Bai Dashi's body. The moment that blade light appeared, the entire space seemed to have been split open.

"Clang!"

But Zhao Yi was not split in two by this strike. As the blade light touched his body, it instead emitted a metallic clang.

"body protection puppet?"

"How do you have such a thing on you?"

"I know, it's Li Yingzhen."

"She is truly generous."

The Azure Spirit Immortal Puppet, also known as a body protection puppet, cannot be broken by anyone without the cultivation level of Undergoing Tribulation.

However, even with the cultivation level of Undergoing Tribulation, one would need to attack continuously for a day. In such a long time, the Cultivator controlling the body protection puppet would have long since run away.

"Did you kill Bai Yucan?"

Bai Dashi felt such hatred. He had been busy running around, negotiating the price for killing Zhao Yi with various Sects, and yet...

Damn it, he discovered that with his Early Stage Mahayana cultivation, he couldn't actually kill Zhao Yi.

This was awkward.

"I killed him."

Zhao Yi admitted it directly.

"What do you want?"

What do I want? Naturally, I want your life.

Bai Dashi was about to vomit blood.

He really couldn't understand what madness had taken Li Yingzhen to actually give a body protection puppet to Zhao Yi.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

"By the way, this Spirit Stone mine is a large-scale Spirit Stone mine; I am going to report it."

Zhao Yi circulated his mana, only to find he couldn't move.

Bai Dashi's eyes lit up. He couldn't kill Zhao Yi, but Zhao Yi couldn't run away either; this made things easy to handle.

Bai Dashi's expression was taken in by Zhao Yi, who mocked, "I obtained a secret technique in my early years called the Traverse Art."

Zhao Yi had omitted the words "Spirit Stone" from the Spirit Stone Traverse Art.

"Farewell!"

"Wait!"

Bai Dashi's face changed color uncertainly.

After a long while, he removed the Formation blockade.

"I will not pursue the matter of the Bai Family Cultivators."

Zhao Yi...

He understood this statement; Bai Dashi wouldn't pursue it, but whether the Bai Family Cultivators pursued it or not, he didn't care.

"And then?"

"The matter of the Baiyu Mountain Spirit Stone mine cannot be reported."

"What's in it for me?"

Bai Dashi...

He felt such hatred. If it were possible, he would want to strangle Zhao Yi to death right now.

Looking at Zhao Yi, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mining Envoy Zhao can come to mine at Baiyu Mountain at any time."

Zhao Yi said indifferently, "I can also come to mine at any time right now."

"This is the power granted to me by the Immortal Dynasty."

"You..."

Bai Dashi almost had a heart attack.

"Then what do you want?"

"Senior should know that I am a miner. I spend my days exposed to the elements in the mine, eating and sleeping poorly."

"You are a Mahayana Cultivator; you should know how to do Artifact Refining, right?"

"Just upgrade this thing of mine."

Zhao Yi took out the straw shed. This thing was too crude, so it was perfect to find someone to upgrade it.

"Hehehe~"

"Upgrade~"

"I'll help you upgrade it!"

For the first time in thousands of years, Bai Dashi felt his cultivation level was low.

Taking the mini-sized straw shed from Zhao Yi's hand, Bai Dashi said in a low voice, "Mining Envoy Zhao, you must live well!"

Zhao Yi...

"Thank you, Senior Bai. Please rest assured, I will definitely live well."

"Hmph!"

Bai Dashi soared into the sky. When passing by a small mountain peak, he kicked it, and the entire mountain peak was knocked over.

"Damn, can't you handle losing?"

"Your mental resilience is too poor."

Standing on the white clouds, Bai Dashi truly couldn't bear it anymore. He formed a seal with both hands, and a bolt of lightning struck Zhao Yi directly. As expected, it was blocked by the body protection puppet again.

"Ah!"

Bai Dashi roared and vanished from sight.

"Tch!"

"Is that all?"

Zhao Yi was quite disdainful.

"Wasting my time mining Spirit Stones."

On the way back to the Spirit Stone mine, Zhao Yi opened the System panel.

【Miner: Zhao Yi】

【Cultivation: Late Stage Void Refining (Insufficient experience, cannot upgrade)】

【experience points: 169 / 1600】

【Rewards: None】

"Still need to mine 1431 High-Grade Spirit Stones, or 15 Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

Speaking of which, is it easier to mine 1431 High-Grade Spirit Stones, or 15 Top-Grade Spirit Stones?

Zhao Yi shook his head; both are difficult...

Baiyu Mountain Spirit Stone mine, at the mine entrance.

I don't know when, but a team of Cultivators had entered. Seeing Zhao Yi, they instantly stood straight.

"Mining Envoy Zhao, hello!"

There weren't many people, just six. Their cultivation wasn't high or low, all at the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Mining Envoy Zhao, we are True Disciples of the Wuxiang Sect, ordered to guard the Baiyu Mountain Spirit Stones."

"My name is Deng Yu, he is called..."

Zhao Yi waved his hand, interrupting Deng Yu's introduction. A Nascent Soul True Monarch—he couldn't be bothered to know his name.

Carrying the great sumeru treasure hoe, Zhao Yi felt indescribably comfortable, as if he were strolling through his own vegetable garden.

Leaving the six Nascent Soul Cultivators looking at each other in dismay, two of whom had poor mental resilience and were already drenched in sweat.

"Senior Brother~"

"Do you think if Mining Envoy Zhao gets unhappy, he will kill us?"

"My luck is terrible. Out of over three hundred people, how did I get picked in the draw?"

"Rigged, there's definitely something rigged."

Because of Zhao Yi, the job of guarding the Spirit Stone mine, which used to be a hot commodity, now actually required a draw.

One can only say that the world is unpredictable.

After entering the mine, there were significantly fewer people than yesterday.

That makes sense; with those six great guardians outside, normal people would wait and see.

"Approximate..."

Zhao Yi just had the thought of calling Approximate, and golden characters formed the shape of Approximate.

"This Dead Dog has definitely evolved again."

"But, what the hell is this Spell?"

The existence of Approximate cannot be investigated deeply; once Zhao Yi investigates deeply, his head hurts.

"Silly Dog, a new mine, oh."

"Where is the main Spiritual Vein?"

Zhao Yi was not stingy now, directly throwing a High-Grade Spirit Stone to Approximate.

With two crunching sounds, a High-Grade Spirit Stone went into its stomach. Approximate wagged its tail, lowered its head to sniff around, and after a moment, barked toward the southwest direction.

"Here?"

"Good!"

"You move aside~"

Zhao Yi rolled up his sleeves, brandished the great sumeru treasure hoe, and started digging.
