138: Chapter 138 Piles of Top-Grade Spirit Stones: Could a Celestial Fate Be Nearby?

"Top-Grade Spirit Stones in piles, could the immortal fate be nearby?"

Zhao Yi was startled, and his face darkened.

Digging up Top-Grade Spirit Stones was fine, but he didn't want to dig up the immortal fate so soon.

Once the immortal fate appeared, could he still mine Baiyu Mountain alone?

It seemed impossible.

"System,"

[Miner: Zhao Yi]

[cultivation: Late Integration Stage (Insufficient experience, cannot level up)]

[experience points: 58/100]

[Reward: None]

"58 Top-Grade Spirit Stones already?"

"This is an unexpected pleasant surprise; I might even Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage."

"Keep digging!"

As for the immortal fate, Zhao Yi didn't have any interest in it, at least not for now; he only hoped the System would give him more experience points.

"golden palace floating jade palace."

With a thought, Fuyu Palace appeared in the mine.

"Wu Chuan, clear the rocks quickly, then come inside to restore your cultivation. Don't waste my time."

"Approximate, open your mouth!"

Zhao Yi flicked his finger, and two Top-Grade Spirit Stones flew into Approximate's mouth.

This made Wu Chuan's eyelids twitch.

Feeding a dog with Top-Grade Spirit Stones?

"These are for you."

"Work faster. If you don't complete the task, I'll hold you accountable."

Seeing two streaks of light flying towards him, Wu Chuan felt his heart was about to jump out.

Looking at them in his hand, they were indeed two Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

He didn't expect to receive the same treatment as Approximate; moved, he immediately kowtowed.

"Thank you, Master!"

In just a few years, he actually had three Top-Grade Spirit Stones. How much would that be converted into Low-Grade Spirit Stones?

"Three Top-Grade Spirit Stones equal three hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, which equal thirty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, which equal three million Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Three... three million?"

"I have three million Low-Grade Spirit Stones?"

It could only be said that Wu Chuan's Heart-Nature cultivation was not yet sufficient.

It took him half a day to return to normal.

Looking at Approximate, who was sticking his butt out and arching into the Teleportation Array like a pig to clear the rocks.

Wu Chuan shook his head.

"No wonder you're working so hard."

"Three million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, just fed to a dog."

"If this were outside the mine, it could probably recruit three thousand death soldiers, right?"

"What are you still dawdling for?"

Zhao Yi's cold voice rang out behind Wu Chuan.

"Don't worry, Master, I'll be done right away!"

Wu Chuan immediately put his thoughts aside, joined Approximate's ranks, and moved the rocks with all his might.

Meanwhile, back in the golden palace floating cloud palace, Zhao Yi didn't care about the grade of the Spirit Stones and poured a whole pile into the cultivation room's Formation slots.

With so many Spirit Stones, a Spiritual Qi mist immediately rose in the cultivation room.

Zhao Yi curled his lip.

"Bah, what 'no Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Stone mine'?"

"It's freaking turning into mist."

If Li Yingzhen were here, she would definitely scold Zhao Yi.

Simply outrageous; couldn't he just use the Spirit Stones directly for cultivation?

Using Spirit Stones to activate a Formation also consumes the Spirit Stones.

But how could Zhao Yi have such awareness?

Not only did he activate the Formation, but he also held a Top-Grade Spirit Stone in each hand.

Using both hands simultaneously, the Dharmic power in his body quickly recovered.

In less than a day, Zhao Yi's Dharmic power was mostly restored.

"Damn!"

"It really has to be Top-Grade Spirit Stones, this speed..."

"So fast!"

Zhao Yi hadn't considered that two Top-Grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to two million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, could destroy twenty Mahayana Cultivators if used in the immortal martial divine cannon.

Now they were only used to restore his Dharmic power; this was no longer just luxury, but waste.

But Zhao Yi didn't care; who told him he could dig up Spirit Stones?

Looking at Wu Chuan, who was closing his eyes in the hall to restore his cultivation, and the floating Approximate.

Zhao Yi just shook his head; they were reluctant to even use Spirit Stones, when would they restore their cultivation?

Wasn't this a waste of time?

With a thought, a large pile of Low-Grade Spirit Stones appeared beside them, directly burying the man and the dog.

Looking at his masterpiece, Zhao Yi nodded.

"That's more like it. Time is Spirit Stones, it can't be wasted."

Walking out of the golden palace floating jade palace, Zhao Yi strolled to the white-jade-colored mine entrance and took out the great sumeru treasure hoe.

He stretched his muscles and bones.

Then, swinging the great sumeru treasure hoe.

"I dig!"

Bang!

The great sumeru treasure hoe struck the mine wall, actually creating sparks.

Thud, thud, thud—

A dull sound came, which was the sound of the rocks Zhao Yi dug out hitting the ground.

The System notification sound also appeared in Zhao Yi's mind at the same time.

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

"So hard."

Among the fallen rocks, besides one Top-Grade Spirit Stone, there were also two High-Grade Spirit Stones and over a dozen Low-Grade Spirit Stones; the ratio of Spirit Stones to rocks was almost half and half.

"Is this freaking mining? This is digging iron!"

It was hard to imagine that with Zhao Yi's Late Integration Stage cultivation, a single swing would be so strenuous.

Of course, the harvest was also staggering; one swing of the hoe was equivalent to several months in the past.

The sound of Zhao Yi digging for Spirit Stones woke up Approximate and Wu Chuan.

Approximate was a carefree soul; upon waking, he went straight out of the golden palace floating jade palace.

Wu Chuan saw the powder beneath him.

"Is this Spirit Stone powder?"

"No wonder my Golden Core Power restored so quickly."

"But..."

"How many Spirit Stones is this pile of powder?"

"The Magical Artifact itself already has Spiritual Qi, yet Master still uses Spirit Stones; it's truly too wasteful."

But when Wu Chuan walked out of Fuyu Palace and saw the scene before him, he no longer felt Zhao Yi was being wasteful.

"Where are these rocks?"

"They're clearly all Spirit Stones."

Half Spirit Stones and half rocks; Wu Chuan was truly gaining experience.

"Come over and help!"

Zhao Yi was getting anxious.

The density and weight of these rocks were too great; Approximate had finally become useless, unable to pull out a single Spirit Stone stuck in the rocks.

"Oh, oh—"

Wu Chuan hurriedly stepped forward.

He held a large hammer and, just like before, swung it in a full circle.

With one hammer strike.

The huge recoil force directly sent Wu Chuan flying.

"Holy crap, have these rocks become spirits?"

"That fall nearly killed me."

Zhao Yi...

He was also confused; even with Late Integration Stage cultivation, dealing with these rocks was difficult, let alone Wu Chuan, who was only at the Late Golden Core stage.

Wu Chuan's cultivation was lower, and facing these rocks, he had no way at all.

Because of this, Zhao Yi had to personally take charge, using the great sumeru treasure hoe to smash the rocks so that Approximate and Wu Chuan could process the rocks and Spirit Stones in time.

As a result, Zhao Yi's mining speed decreased exponentially.

In an entire day, he only dug up two Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Compared to the previous few days, it was more than twice as slow.

But if the time frame were expanded, Zhao Yi felt a bit uneasy.

Who could dig up two Top-Grade Spirit Stones in one day?

Well, except when using a good luck card; that was using a cheat.

At this moment, Zhao Yi leaned on the hoe handle, panting like an ox, his arms trembling slightly.

Only a few wisps of Dharmic power remained in his body, barely enough to perform the Spirit Stone Traverse Art once.

Approximate stuck out his tongue, looking at Zhao Yi with a face full of fear, afraid that Zhao Yi would start digging for Spirit Stones again.

As for Wu Chuan...

He had already fainted from exhaustion.

A Late Golden Core stage Immortal Master had fainted from exhaustion; one could imagine the intensity of the labor.

"System,"

[Miner: Zhao Yi]

[cultivation: Late Integration Stage (Insufficient experience, cannot level up)]

[experience points: 67/100]

[Reward: None]

"Heh heh!"

"67 experience points. I really didn't expect that after three years of coming up empty, I'd gather more than half the experience points in just two days. Where's the logic in that?"
