109: Chapter 109 This Baiyushan spirit stone mine is now in your hands.

"That's true. Whoever comes to mine it, can the Immortal Dynasty really feel at ease?"

Zhao Yi said self-deprecatingly.

Seeing Zhao Yi's unpleasant expression, Li Yingzhen hurriedly smiled and said, "My fault for not explaining clearly."

"The Baiyu Mountain Spirit Stone Mine must definitely be kept in the hands of the Immortal Dynasty now."

"One of the princes will even come to Baiyu Mountain to oversee things."

"The vajra soul-shattering staff will also be left behind for protection."

"As for the Cultivators who mine the Spirit Stone..."

"Brother Yi will certainly need to be there as well."

"But the Luck Spiritual Vein is extraordinary. You and I are brothers, and I don't want you to get too deeply involved."

"Otherwise, all sorts of calamities will befall you, and no matter how many methods you have, you will still die."

Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that this Spirit Stone mine had produced some kind of immortal fate, and they wouldn't let him mine Spirit Stone anymore.

Wait, that's not right!

Zhao Yi suddenly realized, if he dug out the immortal fate, wouldn't he be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step?

That's not right either. The immortal fate is a Luck Spiritual Vein, so the question is, does a Luck Spiritual Vein count as Ore?

"The current problem is, how many Cultivators are needed to mine the Spirit Stone?"

"And where will these Cultivators come from?"

"Ahem!"

Li Yingren, who had been silent until now, suddenly said,

"I'll add one more thing: Cultivators from Anning Prefecture cannot be used."

Zhao Yi...

"Fourth Prince,"

He was searching for the right words,

"Actually..."

"There's no need to find other Cultivators for this mine."

Li Yingren laughed,

"No need to find other Cultivators?"

"That's strange. Does Mining Envoy Zhao intend to dig up the entire Spirit Stone mine all by himself?"

Zhao Yi looked at Li Yingren,

"The Second Prince guessed correctly."

"I will dig it all by myself."

"Cough, cough~"

Li Yingren choked on his own saliva. He pointed his finger at Zhao Yi,

"Arrogant fellow."

"Not to mention how large the Baiyu Mountain Spirit Stone Mine is, there are countless branch veins within the Spirit Stone mine. Just finding the main vein requires a massive amount of manpower."

"Are you capable of that?"

"I am."

Zhao Yi did not hesitate at all.

Li Yingren...

Li Yingzhen...

They exchanged a glance,

"How much time do you need?"

"Three thousand years or five thousand years?"

"No one knows if the immortal fate will change. The time is too long, and the Immortal Father will not agree."

Zhao Yi...

He didn't answer Li Yingzhen's question but instead pulled Approximate out from behind him,

"Dead Dog, how long do you say it will take?"

"Make a sound."

Li Yingren had black lines all over his head,

Fine, fine, fine. I'm asking you, and you go ask a dog?

What is the meaning of this?

He glared fiercely at Li Yingzhen, implying, Is this the brother you've sworn to?

Compared to Li Yingren's anger, Li Yingzhen was simply dumbfounded. She had truly always regarded Zhao Yi as a brother,

"Brother Yi, what is this?"

Li Yingzhen touched Zhao Yi's forehead, tears in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "Have you cultivated until you've gone foolish?"

Zhao Yi...

"Woof~"

He kicked Approximate hard, cursing in his heart,

Damn you, Dead Dog, if it weren't for you occupying my Spell, why would I have to be so embarrassed?

But on the surface, Zhao Yi looked serious,

"The Fourth Prince doesn't know, but this dog is psychic."

"Although it hasn't become a demon, it has no problem finding veins and locating mines."

"Big Brother, don't you agree?"

Approximate drooped its ears, tucked its tail, and looked cowardly.

Zhao Yi was truly going crazy,

"Fine, fine, fine~"

"Here you go..."

He threw a High-Grade Spirit Stone to Approximate,

Approximate took one look, expression unchanged,

This made Zhao Yi grit his teeth in anger,

"Fine, fine, you've learned to hike up the price on the spot."

"Here, be careful not to choke to death."

A full ten High-Grade Spirit Stones were piled in front of Approximate.

Approximate then wagged its tail, walked up to the pile of Spirit Stones, and swallowed all ten High-Grade Spirit Stones in one gulp.

"Dead Dog, sooner or later you'll choke to death."

"Now you can speak."

"Woof~"

"Woof woof~"

"Second Prince, Fourth Prince, this Dead Dog has told me that if I go all out, thirty years will be enough. If I fish for three days and dry nets for two, it will probably take three thousand years."

Zhao Yi's series of actions completely dumbfounded Li Yingren and Li Yingzhen,

Especially the scene of feeding the dog ten High-Grade Spirit Stones, it was absolutely shocking.

Even though they were princes, they had never performed the feat of feeding a dog ten High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Ten High-Grade Spirit Stones, converted into Low-Grade Spirit Stones, that's a full one hundred thousand pieces.

Using one hundred thousand Spirit Stones to feed a dog?

Heh heh...

The two seemed not to have heard Zhao Yi's words, but instead stared at Approximate and asked: "Mining Envoy Zhao, do you still need dogs?"

"I feel that what it can do, I can also find someone to do..."

Zhao Yi was stunned,

"That wouldn't be good, would it?"

Then he realized,

"Fourth Prince, you've gone off-topic. We are here to talk about mining, why are you chatting about dogs?"

Li Yingzhen looked at Approximate, or rather, at Approximate's belly. Is it too late to kill the dog and retrieve the Spirit Stones now?

"Right, right, right, chatting about dogs..."

"Oh, no, chatting about mining."

Li Yingzhen reluctantly moved her gaze away from Approximate.

"How much time did you say it would take just now?"

"Thirty years if you go all out?"

"Three thousand years if you fish for two days and dry nets for three?"

"You..."

"From thirty years to three thousand years, such a huge span..."

"Are you sure you aren't joking?"

Zhao Yi gripped the hoe handle,

This was an opportunity. After missing the Lushan Spirit Stone Mine, another chance to dig an entire mine alone had arrived.

No matter what, he had to seize it. Whether he could quickly accumulate experience points to improve his cultivation depended on this time.

After thinking for a moment, he said solemnly: "Three hundred years."

"If I cannot dig out the immortal fate within three hundred years, the Immortal Dynasty can arrange things as they see fit, how about that?"

Li Yingren mocked,

"Ridiculous, you, a..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Li Yingzhen,

"Fine!"

"I agree to it."

"Fourth!"

Li Yingren shouted,

"Are you crazy?"

"Digging a mine alone?"

"Three hundred years?"

"I don't think he'll be able to dig it out in thirty thousand years. You're wasting time."

Facing Li Yingren's agitation, Li Yingzhen said calmly: "I believe him."

"Brother Yi, I believe you can dig out the immortal fate within three hundred years."

Li Yingren...

"Hmph!"

"Be as stubborn as you like."

"I will report this matter to the Immortal Father."

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left early.

Li Yingzhen looked helpless,

"Second Brother is just like that, a bit hot-tempered."

"Brother Yi, please don't mind it."

"Also, what else do you need to mine this Baiyu Mountain Spirit Stone Mine?"

"Except for Spirit Stones, I can help with anything."

How could Zhao Yi be polite?

He said directly: "I need Cultivators."

"Not Death Cultivators who mine Spirit Stone, just ordinary Cultivators will do."

"Let them come and help me transport rocks. These things waste too much of my time."

Hearing this, Li Yingzhen breathed a sigh of relief. She had been afraid that Zhao Yi would make some strange request.

"That's fine."

"But it won't be that fast. Wait for me to transfer them from other places for you."

"How many people do you need?"

"The more, the better."

Li Yingzhen nodded,

"I will get at least fifty for you."

"Is that enough?"

"Enough, enough."

Zhao Yi was overjoyed. He had originally thought it would be good to have a few people to help, but he hadn't expected Li Yingzhen to be so generous.

With so many people helping, what couldn't be dug out?

"Then it's settled."

Li Yingzhen clapped her hands,

"Brother Yi, I'll leave it to you then!"

"From now on, this Baiyu Mountain Spirit Stone Mine is entrusted to you."
