13: Chapter 13 I am Bai Jiatong

But Bai Chuanfeng's cultivation and status were right there; not only had Bai Jiatong not achieved a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough, but even if he were a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he would still be unable to refuse Bai Chuanfeng—unless he no longer wanted the Bai family's resources.

In the Maple Garden.

Bai Chuanfeng stood under a tree, the pure moonlight shining on him, giving his whole being a touch of haziness.

"Nineteenth Uncle~"

"You're here!"

Bai Chuanfeng said indifferently,

"Old Third told you everything, right?"

Bai Jiatong didn't reply, simply nodding,

"After you catch him, don't kill him yet. I suspect he has a secret technique for mining Spirit Stones."

"I don't care what method you use, find out!"

"That's impossible. The Spirit Stone Mine is a Forbidden Magic Zone; even if there were a secret technique for mining Spirit Stones, it couldn't be used, right?"

Born into the Bai family and living in the Lesser Strange Spirit Stone Mine for a long time, although Bai Jiatong didn't participate in mining Spirit Stones, he still knew the most basic common sense.

"Hmph, in the Major Thousand Worlds, nothing is too strange. That kid hasn't even been in the mine for three months, yet he's dug out four Medium Grade Spirit Stones. This is in the First Layer Mine Shaft; you tell me, what is impossible?"

"Alright, do as I say~"

Bai Chuanfeng waved his hand,

If it weren't for his position as a manager, he would have definitely done it himself. Why would he explain so much to a Junior?

"Yes!"

Bai Jiatong bowed and left the Maple Garden. As he walked, he said to the young Bai family Cultivator behind him, "Go and get me that Zhao Yi's information."

...

Branch Mine Shaft No. 7786,

Zhao Yi ruffled his hair messily; he had come up empty-handed for another two days.

"What the hell, is there really no Spirit Stone in this mine shaft?"

"Damn it, I'm sticking it out with you. If I don't dig out a Spirit Stone, I'm not leaving."

Zhao Yi swung his hoe and directly dug a twenty-meter tunnel,

He had already used the Approximation Technique on this spot yesterday,

It was precisely because there were no Spirit Stones that he had lost his temper.

"Approximation Technique,"

"Within twenty meters,"

"The Great Dao is Simple, approximation is naturally formed... Rounding up or down, the numbers of heaven and earth are set."

"Approximate: Twenty-five Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Holy crap, I knew I couldn't keep coming up empty!"

Zhao Yi got excited.

[You dug up a Low-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points +1.]

The spirit sensing ring kept lighting up, and the System notification sounds were constant. Zhao Mo's hoe was also swinging so fast it was practically flying.

"The twenty-fifth one, the last one."

Zhao Yi put the Spirit Stone into his Storage Pouch and moved the excavated rocks bit by bit into the Teleportation Array at the exit of the branch mine shaft.

Now that he was further from the Teleportation Array, the time spent mining and moving these rocks had to be split fifty-fifty.

"A pity this Storage Pouch is too small; otherwise, using the Storage Pouch to move the rocks would be much faster."

Zhao Yi threw the large rocks into the Teleportation Array and crushed the small ones to level the ground or piled them in another direction,

Otherwise, he would have no space to work in the afternoon.

"Today I've already dug twenty-five. If there are no Spirit Stones when I use the Approximation Technique, I'll call it a day~"

Zhao Yi had now developed a taste for it; if he didn't Cultivate with Zhou Yan for a day, he felt something was wrong.

"Approximation Technique,"

"Within twenty meters,"

...

"Approximate: Nineteen Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Holy moly."

"What's going on?"

Zhao Yi felt like he was being set up by this Spirit Stone Mine.

Either he came up empty-handed, or he got a massive haul.

Twenty-five plus nineteen, a total of forty-four Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

"It seems like I have enough experience points..."

He hadn't realized until he calculated it, and once he did, Zhao Yi couldn't hold back.

"Dig!"

He wished he had two more hands right now to quickly dig out these nineteen Spirit Stones.

[You dug up a Low-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points +1.]

Time passed, and Spirit Stones were continuously dug out by Zhao Yi.

"This should be the last one."

Zhao Yi picked up the Spirit Stone, and before he could put it in his Storage Pouch, a figure appeared in the mine shaft.

The person held a paper fan, constantly fanning away the dust in front of him. Looking at him, one could tell he wasn't a serious miner.

"Zhao Yi?"

"Having a good harvest today, aren't you?"

Zhao Yi...

What could he say? When he came up empty, no one knew, but as soon as he dug up more Spirit Stones, someone got jealous?

"And you are?"

"I am Bai Jiatong!"

Bai Jiatong cupped his hands, appearing very refined.

"Was it you who beat Bai Jia Gang to death?"

"So what if I did?"

Zhao Yi put the Spirit Stone in his hand into his Storage Pouch, straightened his shadow recording hat, picked up his hoe, and secretly went on guard.

"Well done. A scumbag like that deserved to die."

"But..."

"Even though he was a scumbag who deserved to die a thousand times over, by killing him like that, you completely disregarded my Bai family."

Zhao Yi...

He really thought this Bai Jiatong was an upright person, but it turned out they were birds of a feather.

"If you want revenge, just say so. Why all the nonsense?"

"So you knew. That saves me some effort."

"Follow me out of the mine."

Bai Jiatong walked ahead swaggeringly.

Instead, it made Zhao Yi confused.

"What did he mean?"

At the exit of the first layer main mine shaft of the Lesser Strange Spirit Stone Mine, Bai Jiatong had no Spirit Stones on him and hadn't been mining, so he walked straight out,

Zhao Yi, who was following behind him, was blocked by the Formation. The stiff voice of the Formation Spirit rang out, making Zhao Yi once again a topic of discussion among many Cultivators,

"Zhao Yi, forty-four Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Wages: four Low-Grade Spirit Stones and forty purple gold coins."

Collecting the four Spirit Stones and purple gold coins from the Formation slot, Zhao Yi's mining for the day was finally over.

"Stop!"

"If you don't follow me, where are you going?"

Bai Jiatong stood in front of Zhao Yi, his Qi Condensation Ninth Layer cultivation suddenly released.

The Cultivators who were originally around Zhao Yi immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

With his Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivation, Zhao Yi wasn't as pathetic as the surrounding Cultivators, but there was definitely pressure,

"What do you want to do?"

"To avenge Jia Gang. Why haven't you followed me to the Bai family to meet your death?"

Zhao Yi looked at Bai Jiatong as if he were looking at an idiot,

This guy was definitely from the same stock; his logic was exactly the same as that dead ghost Bai Jia Gang.

"Go to the Bai family to meet his death?"

"Did he really think he was an idiot too?"

"What if I don't go?"

Zhao Yi took the hoe out of his Storage Pouch and asked back.

"Not go?"

Bai Jiatong frowned,

"Why?"

Zhao Yi...

He almost spat blood,

"Damn it, you're telling me to go to the Bai family to meet my death, and you're asking why I won't go?"

"Go for what?"

"To die?"

"Whoever wants to go can go. Anyway, I'm not going."

Zhao Yi shouldered his hoe, preparing to move away from Bai Jiatong.

"You can't leave!"

Bai Jiatong's figure appeared in front of Zhao Yi like a ghost, blocking his path.

"Bang!"

Zhao Yi didn't indulge him either, swinging his hoe directly at Bai Jiatong,

It had to be said, this hoe was really useful. It saved effort when digging Spirit Stones and was not bad at all when used as a weapon,

"You dare to raise a hand against me?"

Using the Body Protection Technique to tank Zhao Yi's hoe, Bai Jiatong looked at Zhao Yi in disbelief,

In the Lesser Strange Spirit Stone Mine, someone actually dared to attack him?

"I even beat Bai Jia Gang to death. What's a little fight with you?"

"You truly are a villain. You deserve to die!"

"daye sword, appear!"

Bai Jiatong reached out, and a sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"Villain, you shall be executed!"

"Seven Star Sword Art."

"Die!"

As the daye sword swung, seven points of sword light went straight for Zhao Yi.
