123: Chapter 123 Your Immortal Destiny Seems Far Away, Are You About to Break Through Again?

Outside the mine, at an altitude of a thousand meters.

Looking at the floating pavilion in front of him, Zhao Yi clicked his tongue in secret; compared to this, Li Yingtang's Chaotian Spirit Realm was pathetic.

The treatment for a biological child is just different.

"How is it?"

"You like it, right?"

"For the past year and a half, I've been busy with this."

Li Yingzhen looked indescribably exhausted, feeling even more tired than Zhao Yi, who had been mining.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Yi hadn't reacted yet.

Li Yingzhen laughed and said, "It's prepared for you. I'm a pauper; how could I afford to live in something like this?"

"However, you have to save a room for me. In case I get drunk one day, I don't want to go sleep in a cave again."

"Prepared for me?"

Only then did Zhao Yi carefully examine this floating 'big villa'.

It had two floors and was entirely cyan-green; Zhao Yi didn't really like this color.

He didn't know what material was under his feet; it was actually transparent.

"Come, come, let's have you acknowledge ownership first!"

Confused, Zhao Yi had his palm cut by Li Yingzhen. Blood dripped down and was directly absorbed by the transparent floor.

A feeling of being connected by blood to the 'big villa' surged into Zhao Yi's heart.

"golden palace floating jade palace!"

"That's a nice name."

Li Yingzhen put her arm around Zhao Yi's shoulder.

"It's more than just nice. This Fuyu Palace can become large or small, can fly and run. As long as there are Spirit Stones, it can even float while placed in a mine."

"How is it?"

"Think about it: when you're tired from mining, take out this treasure, take a bath, and then have a wonderful sleep..."

Honestly, the way Li Yingzhen described it, the imagery really came to life.

Zhao Yi rubbed his hands. "So, does that mean I should thank the Fourth Prince?"

"Sigh~"

"We are brothers; saying these things makes us strangers."

Looking at Li Yingzhen, Zhao Yi didn't know if it was his imagination, but he seemed to see reluctance in her eyes.

Could there be something fishy going on here?

But even if there was, there was no way to go back now; the golden palace floating jade palace had already acknowledged him as its master.

"Come on, let me show you the layout."

"The first floor is a vast living room. Inside, it uses ventilation Formations, spatial Formations, and a Sumeru Void Formation. It wouldn't be a problem to squeeze in hundreds or thousands of people."

"To the east is the Alchemy room, equipped with an adjustable fire-element Formation. It solves the issue of a fire source, allowing you to perform Alchemy at will indoors without having to look for flames everywhere or sleep in the open."

"How is it? Impressive, right?"

"Come, come, Brother Yi. To the west is the cultivation room, equipped with top-tier Spirit Gathering Formations and top-tier defensive Formations. It can even resist a Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation or two."

Zhao Yi...

"This doesn't seem useful to me, right?"

"Oh, that's true."

Li Yingzhen felt a bit awkward. "Aiya, that's not important. The second floor is what's perfect."

She pulled Zhao Yi up to the second floor.

"There are just two rooms. We are brothers, so one for each. It's not only equipped with top-tier defensive and reinforcement Formations, but also top-tier soundproofing and vibration Formations."

"And this canopy~"

Li Yingzhen clapped her hands, and the roof slowly opened, revealing a sky full of stars.

The layout of the two rooms was identical, separated in the middle by the stairs.

"Fourth Prince, I can understand everything else, but there is one thing I don't understand."

"Why is this bed round?"

"And why is it so big?"

"It must be ten meters across, right?"

"What is it for?"

"You aren't going to tell me it's for cultivation, are you?"

"And the vibration Formation, what the hell is that?"

Li Yingzhen's forehead was glistening, but she still stubbornly insisted, "Yes, yes, yes, it's just for cultivation."

"Isn't sitting here much more comfortable than sitting on a meditation cushion?"

"And the vibration..."

Zhao Yi...

"I don't believe a word of it."

"Fourth Prince, if you don't tell the truth, I'll forcibly unbind it."

Li Yingzhen stroked the large bed. "Fine."

"I'll tell the truth."

"This was originally for myself, crafted entirely according to the requirements for refining Spiritual Artifacts."

"But..."

Li Yingzhen paused. "Don't laugh at me when I say it."

Zhao Yi was actually a bit curious.

"Go ahead. We are brothers; why would I laugh at you?"

Li Yingzhen made a mournful face. "Damn it, it was only after it was successfully refined that I realized I couldn't afford to use it at all."

"Just for it to float, it costs ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones a day."

"The standard defensive Formation costs one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone to run for a full day."

"The most outrageous part is the Alchemy room. That fire-element Formation just burns Spirit Stones. Refining one batch of pills conservatively costs one High-Grade Spirit Stone."

"Who can afford to use this?"

Zhao Yi was speechless. "So, you just gave it to me?"

Li Yingzhen darkened her face. "I was just afraid it would go to waste, wasn't I?"

"Damn it, my entire savings were dumped into it, and I didn't even ask you for Spirit Stones. Are you still unhappy?"

"Tch!"

"You are the Fourth Prince of the Great Yin Dynasty, after all. How could you be troubled by such worldly possessions?"

"Here!"

"Don't be polite."

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yi made countless Spirit Stones appear, filling the entire room.

"I..."

"You..."

"This, just how many Spirit Stones have you dug up?"

Zhao Yi shook his head. "I don't know."

"I only know how many High-Grade Spirit Stones I've dug up."

"How many?"

"1,657."

Li Yingzhen frowned. "Are you having bad luck?"

"In a year and a half, a full 18 months, you didn't even average 10 High-Grade Spirit Stones a day?"

"I~"

Zhao Yi was speechless; Li Yingzhen was rubbing salt in his wounds.

"You~"

"Li Yingzhen, have you gotten cocky?"

"It might not be 10 High-Grade Spirit Stones a day, but I still got 8 or 9."

"Hmph, in this world, besides me, Zhao Yi, who else has this kind of skill?"

"Besides, although I dug fewer High-Grade Spirit Stones this time, I dug plenty of Mid-Grade and High-Grade ones!"

"What, do these not count?"

Li Yingzhen...

Zhao Yi was right. A rough estimate would be thirty to forty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and two to three hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Converting everything to Low-Grade Spirit Stones, it should be around four million, averaging seven or eight thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones per day.

Converting High-Grade Spirit Stones to Low-Grade Spirit Stones, one person rivaling ten thousand cultivators really wasn't a joke.

"Right, you said this thing burns a lot of Spirit Stones?"

"How much does it burn?"

Li Yingzhen fell silent.

The Spirit Stones in front of them were to be split fifty-fifty between Zhao Yi and her.

But her half was for the Immortal Dynasty; these millions of Low-Grade Spirit Stones had to support the army, pay officials, provide disaster relief, and so on. There was always endless work to do.

And what about Zhao Yi?

He was all alone; how could he ever spend all those Spirit Stones?

"Ahhh!"

"Jealousy makes me unrecognizable. I've decided..."

"Tomorrow I'm going to refine a hoe, and I'm going down into the mine to dig for Spirit Stones too."

Zhao Yi...

"Really?"

"That would be great. One month from now, I'll be in the mine, so don't go back on your word."

Li Yingzhen felt awkward.

"I was just saying that casually~"

"Eh, why one month from now?"

"I've gained some slight insight, so I'm going into seclusion for a month."

Hearing Zhao Yi say he was going into seclusion, Li Yingzhen's mind exploded.

"You're going into seclusion again?"

"Oh my goodness!"

"immortal fate is nowhere in sight, and you're going to Breakthrough again?"

Zhao Yi was puzzled.

"Did I say I was going to Breakthrough?"
