106: Chapter 106 The best heavenly spirit stone

Bang! Bang!

Zhao Yi had just dug twice when a massive, dark swarm of people entered the mine.

Deng Yu, who had originally been greeting Zhao Yi outside the mine, hurried over to him and bowed, saying: "Mining Envoy Zhao, these are the designated ore-diviners from the Wuxiang Sect. Since the Baiyu Mountain Spirit Stone mine has just opened, we need them to determine the direction of the main lode."

"Ore-diviners?" Zhao Yi was dumbfounded. Was that even a profession?

However, these so-called ore-diviners had quite high cultivation levels; most were at the Golden Core stage, and one of them was even a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Just as Zhao Yi was curious about their methods, the scene became abstract. He watched as the ore-diviners began muttering incantations, then their expressions went blank, and their limbs started twitching. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were being electrocuted.

Half a day later, these so-called ore-diviners gradually regained their senses. After babbling on for a long time, they pointed in the opposite direction from Zhao Yi. "This way..." "Start digging."

Zhao Yi... He glanced at Approximate, his expression asking, "You said the main mine was to the southwest, but they say it's to the northeast. Are you reliable?"

Approximate revealed an expression that said 'You're an idiot.' "Silly Dog, are you actually looking down on me?"

"Mining Envoy Zhao, this is the true main lode. You should dig from this side," Deng Yu said, trotting over to persuade him.

Zhao Yi asked suspiciously: "Are you really that kind? However, the main lode isn't over there."

"Oh, does Mining Envoy Zhao also know how to divine ore?" Zhao Yi shook his head. "How would I know that?" Then he pointed to Approximate beside him. "But it does."

"A dog?" Deng Yu nearly collapsed. A dog that could divine ore? Then what were the ore-diviners that the Sect had gone to such great lengths to train?

"You—" The ore-diviners were furious to hear Zhao Yi say that Approximate could divine ore. If not for the fact that Zhao Yi was a Void Refining Cultivator, they would have likely smashed Approximate into meat paste by now.

Zhao Yi realized he had offended them and immediately explained: "My apologies. I'm just too honest. I didn't expect that you all aren't even as good as a dog."

Deng Yu... The ore-diviners... and even the Cultivators digging for Spirit Stones were all rendered silent by Zhao Yi's words. This was truly a case of killing the person and then crushing their heart.

"Haha—" "Let's each dig our own way." "That settles it..." Zhao Yi swung his great sumeru treasure hoe and began digging with a bang-bang sound.

"Hmph, ore-diviners need to learn dozens of types of Spell knowledge, such as Feng Shui techniques, Great Divination, and Five Elements arts. It's not that easy!" "Follow our instructions." "Within three days, we will definitely find Spirit Stones."

An ore-diviner spoke up, his voice especially loud, clearly intended for Zhao Yi to hear.

"Dig!" In the northeast direction, dozens of Cultivators started digging together. In contrast, on the southwest side, there was only Zhao Yi.

"Boring—" Zhao Yi understood what this group was thinking perfectly well. Because he understood, he found it uninteresting.

In both directions, the sound of digging rang out. As the rocks fell, Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and Low-Grade Spirit Stones were constantly mixed in, which Approximate would pick out and pile in the corner. This was what it did every time, so Zhao Yi didn't find it strange.

In the blink of an eye, three days and three nights passed. The group over there was already exhausted; after all, not everyone was Zhao Yi, who could dig for Spirit Stones without sleep or rest.

"Wow!" "We found a Spirit Stone! And it's a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!" "The ore-diviners are truly amazing!" Cheers erupted from the many Cultivators.

Zhao Yi felt a wave of irritation. Are they crazy? With so many people, it took them three days and three nights to dig up one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone—what was there to be happy about?

Looking at the two piles of Spirit Stones in the corner, he became even more furious. "Damn it, there isn't a single High-Grade Spirit Stone. What a waste of time."

Zhao Yi was already irritable, and yet Deng Yu was oblivious. He saw him holding that Mid-Grade Spirit Stone and running over to Zhao Yi. "Mining Envoy Zhao, I told you, the main lode is to the northeast. There isn't anything over here..."

Before he could finish saying "Spirit Stone", he saw the pile of Spirit Stones in the corner and his voice got stuck in his throat. "Th-this... did you dig all of this up, Mining Envoy Zhao?"

Zhao Yi couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him and continued swinging his hoe. As the rocks fell, he watched as Approximate picked up a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone from the rubble and threw it onto the pile. Deng Yu's composure shattered instantly.

"Mining Envoy Zhao..." "You..." "I..." "Damn you, get lost!" "If you keep nagging, you die!"

He hadn't dug up any High-Grade Spirit Stones, and Zhao Yi was in a terrible mood. Deng Yu was buzzing around like a fly... Zhao Yi was enraged.

When a Void Refining Cultivator gets angry, the mine goes silent immediately. But there are always those who don't fear death.

"Mining Envoy Zhao, this humble Cultivator is You Ji, an ore-diviner from the Wuxiang Sect." "Is this really the main lode?" "I wonder how Mining Envoy Zhao confirmed it?"

Zhao Yi... "You want to learn?" "Approximate, go teach him. Don't waste my time."

You Ji... Approximate... The man and the dog stared at each other. "Woof—" "Woof, woof, woof—" Approximate actually started teaching him.

"You—" You Ji was so angry his lips turned white, and his entire face flushed red at a visible speed. "Ah—" "You are bullying me too much!"

It can only be said that the ignorant are fearless. You Ji produced a blade from somewhere and slashed at Zhao Yi. "Ah—" With a scream, Approximate pounced, biting through You Ji's neck instantly.

"Holy crap, Silly Dog, who told you to kill him?" "You killed him, and you still left his Golden Core?" "Who told you to be soft-hearted?" Approximate...

"You, you actually killed someone?" You Ji was killed, and Deng Yu panicked. "Woof—" Zhao Yi didn't speak, just stared quietly at Deng Yu, while Approximate bared its teeth.

"A Void Refining Cultivator cannot be insulted." "He attacked me with a blade, are you blind?" "I've given you too much face, letting you buzz around me time and again."

"Ah!" Deng Yu let out a scream as his entire left leg vanished into nothingness. "If you keep nagging, you die!"

Zhao Yi smashed his hoe against the mine wall, producing a loud boom that shook down countless rocks. "Are you not leaving yet?"

"Yes, yes, yes—" The leg that had been severed by the Void Refining Cultivator's power could not be restored in the short term, so Deng Yu had to hop out on one leg.

Only then did Deng Yu realize, what was wrong with him? Why did he go to provoke Zhao Yi? Damn it, who was plotting against him?

Seeing You Ji killed and Deng Yu crippled, the Cultivators in the mine were terrified and scattered like birds and beasts.

"Stop, carry him out for me..." Zhao Yi's cold voice echoed in the mine. "Yes, yes—" A group of Cultivators carried You Ji's corpse and fled the Baiyu Mountain Spirit Stone mine as if escaping.

"Silly Dog, not bad." "How did you know I wanted to kill You Ji?" "Here is your reward." Zhao Yi tossed another High-Grade Spirit Stone to Approximate.

"Alright." "Now it's quiet, I can dig for Spirit Stones in peace."

He swung his hoe, and the System's notification sound arrived. 【You have dug up a High-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points + 1.】

He swung again, and another notification sound followed. 【You have dug up a High-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points + 1.】

"Oh, the two Spirit Stones I fed you have been dug up." "Not bad, not bad, I've broken even."

He swung for the third time, and the System notification sound rang out again. 【You have dug up a supreme grade heavenly spirit stone, experience points + 3000.】 【First time digging up a supreme grade heavenly spirit stone, reward: good luck card (30 days)】
