175: Chapter 175 Enough Spirit Stones Dig Up

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao is selfless and heartless.

It is similar to a piece of code, operating according to established, rigid rules.

Naturally, it would not offer any choice, nor would it negotiate anything with Zhao Yi.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment appeared above Zhao Yi's head once again.

In mid-air, the tribulation cloud churned.

"This idiot, is it trying to bring down a tribulation?"

"Damn it, if you want to bring it down, then do it."

"You do your striking, I'll do my digging."

Zhao Yi raised the great sumeru treasure hoe again and swung it down at the ore vein.

The great sumeru treasure hoe, fifty meters wide and nearly twenty meters high, dug out a mound of rock like a small mountain with a single swing.

Boom!

The Lightning Tribulation struck Zhao Yi, but Zhao Yi merely shivered once and continued his great mining undertaking.

"Good heavens, this swing actually came up empty."

"Approximate, you Silly Dog, did you scout wrongly?"

This was not in a mine shaft; Zhao Yi waved his hand, and the excavated mountain rock flew up suddenly.

There really wasn't a single Spirit Stone inside, not even a Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

Boom!

The will of heaven is like a blade; the Heavenly Dao of the Qingling Realm actually mobilized the Origin of the world, forming Saber Intent to slash down at Zhao Yi.

"Are you crazy?"

"The Qingling Realm is just a miniature world, isn't it?"

"You shouldn't be using the Origin of the world; are you afraid the Qingling Realm won't collapse fast enough?"

Zhao Yi was speechless.

He was only digging for some Spirit Stones; he hadn't expected the Heavenly Dao of the Qingling Realm to react so strongly. This was clearly a rhythm of mutual destruction.

Facing the desperate counterattack of the Heavenly Dao, Zhao Yi not only did not stop, but his movements became even faster.

"Damn, isn't it just 1116 Top-Grade Spirit Stones?"

"Why is it like I'm taking your life?"

"I dig~"

"I dig~ I dig~ I dig, dig, dig!"

Zhao Yi roared, the great sumeru treasure hoe whistling as it swung, each swing carrying the force to shatter mountains and split the earth.

Countless mountain rocks were dug out, gradually piling up into a mountain beside him.

Even with the Heavenly Intent blade upon him, it did not delay Zhao Yi's hoeing speed.

After dozens of consecutive swings,

Zhao Yi was angry.

"Approximate, you look like a Dragon, but are actually a Silly Dog, a fool; did you mark the direction of the Spirit Stone mine wrong?"

In the past, Approximate could not speak and could only roll his eyes to express his dissatisfaction.

Now that he could speak, the eye-rolling and verbal retorts were used together.

"Master, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"You can question my appearance, you can question my race, but you absolutely cannot question my professionalism."

"I am a professional at finding mines. If this Spirit Stone mine doesn't yield 1116 Top-Grade Spirit Stones, I am willing to offer my liver as proof."

Zhao Yi...

"Good, you said it yourself."

"I haven't tasted Dragon liver or Phoenix marrow yet; I hope I can break my fast with you."

Approximate's heart tightened; why did he feel like something was wrong?

Because of Zhao Yi and Approximate's disregard,

In the sky, the eye of the heavenly dao had turned crimson.

Approximate gave a look to Zhao Yi.

"Master, is this really okay?"

"What if the Qingling Realm collapses?"

Zhao Yi returned a look.

"What the hell is there to be afraid of? Such a brainless Heavenly Dao must have been created by a brainless Cultivator; if it collapses, let it collapse."

Approximate...

He really wanted to say, you are truly brave!

Unfortunately, Zhao Yi did not give him the chance.

"Damn!"

"Spirit Stones appeared."

"Great Sorting Technique."

This was the second proper Immortal Technique Zhao Yi obtained after his Immortal Ascension.

Hmm,

it was mainly used to separate mountain rock and Spirit Stones.

You have to say, an Immortal Technique is indeed an Immortal Technique.

Under the cyan-green Immortal light,

the Spirit Stones rose, and the mountain rocks fell, surprisingly in harmony with the Dao of heaven and earth.

"It's a pity, they are all Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

Looking at the Low-Grade Spirit Stones in mid-air, Zhao Yi was a bit disdainful.

However, since Low-Grade Spirit Stones had appeared, Top-Grade Spirit Stones wouldn't be far off.

"Again!"

The great sumeru treasure hoe, augmented by Immortal power, didn't look like it was mining; it looked like it was destroying the world.

With one swing, not to mention the ore vein under Zhao Yi's feet, even space itself shattered.

Watching the mountain rocks fall into the spatial turbulence,

Zhao Yi was silent.

"Master, it seems you used too much force."

"Yeah, I used too much force."

Zhao Yi suddenly realized; back in the day, he had to exert all his strength to dig out mountain rock, but now, when mining, he had to hold back his strength.

With another swing, the System notification sounded in Zhao Yi's ears.

【You mined 73 Top-Grade Spirit Stones, experience points + 73.】

"Great Sorting Technique."

73 Top-Grade Spirit Stones, 201 High-Grade Spirit Stones, and nearly a thousand medium and Low-Grade Spirit Stones were piled together, floating in mid-air; this was the harvest from one of Zhao Yi's swings.

"Hey!"

"An Immortal mining Spirit Stones is like using an immortal martial divine cannon to kill mosquitoes; Master, you are overqualified for this."

Seeing Zhao Yi dig out Spirit Stones, the eye of the heavenly dao in the sky contracted violently, crimson as blood, and the tribulation cloud churned even more violently, as if the will of the entire Qingling Realm were roaring.

"Boom!"

A purple-black Lightning Tribulation, a hundred zhang thick, descended from the sky. It was no longer pure lightning, but a "Punishment of World Destruction" mixed with fragments of Law and the will of the Qingling Realm; wherever it passed, space shattered and time froze.

"Tch!"

Zhao Yi scoffed, completely ignoring the Punishment of World Destruction, and continued his great mining undertaking.

The Punishment of World Destruction struck Zhao Yi's body, but he didn't even react.

"Boring, it's far worse than the Death Tribulation in the Hundred Deaths Tribulation Realm."

【You mined 85 Top-Grade Spirit Stones, experience points + 85.】

【You mined 90 Top-Grade Spirit Stones, experience points + 90.】

...

Every time Zhao Yi swung his hoe, he could harvest dozens of Top-Grade Spirit Stones. After more than a hundred consecutive swings, he looked at Approximate.

"How many in total?"

"Are there 1116 Top-Grade Spirit Stones?"

Approximate...

He could only see his Dragon claws all over the sky...

"73+85+90..."

"Equals..."

"How much does this equal again?"

"Master, wait for me a moment, I'll count them right away."

Then Approximate burrowed into the pile of Spirit Stones and actually started counting them one by one.

He ignored the Punishment of World Destruction descending upon him, just like Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi...

Well, he finally understood; this Silly Dragon was actually a math idiot.

"System,"

【Miner: Zhao Yi】

【Cultivation: Early stage of Human Immortal Realm (Insufficient experience points, cannot upgrade)】

【experience points: 6399/6400】

【Reward: None】

"Damn!"

Zhao Yi was speechless; it was actually only one short.

Over there, Approximate shouted,

"Master, there are 1113 Top-Grade Spirit Stones in total."

"No, it's 1114."

"Also not right, it seems to be 1115."

"Wait, I'll count again."

Zhao Yi...

He looked up at the eye of the heavenly dao, his eyes filled with confusion,

why don't you strike him dead?

"One last swing."

Zhao Yi looked at the marks Approximate had made; unknowingly, he had almost dug up the entire Spirit Stone mine.

"Come out."

With this swing, his mining career in the Qingling Realm could come to an end.

【You mined 66 Top-Grade Spirit Stones, experience points + 66.】

【Accumulated experience points have reached the maximum value, and will be recorded at the maximum value.】

"System,"

Zhao Yi confirmed one last time.

【Miner: Zhao Yi】

【Cultivation: Early stage of Human Immortal Realm (Can upgrade)】

【experience points: 6400/6400】

【Reward: None】

"Silly Dragon, work is done."

He took out Fuyu Palace and collected all the Spirit Stones.

Zhao Yi looked at the eye of the heavenly dao again,

"I have mined enough Spirit Stones."

"Are you not going to retreat yet?"
