196: Chapter 196 I will definitely not stand idly by as long as I can help.

【You have mined a piece of spirit light sandstone, experience points + 1.】

【You have mined a piece of spirit light sandstone, experience points + 1.】

...

"Dead Dog, how many pieces do we have?"

Approximate, with a bitter face,

"Let me count~"

"Count your sister!"

It was just that Zhao Yi had forgotten that this Dead Dog could not count.

"System,"

【Miner: Zhao Yi】

【Cultivation: Mid-stage Human Immortal Realm (can be upgraded)】

【experience points: 747 / 100】

【Reward: good luck card (three days)】

"Have we only mined four hundred and forty-seven pieces?"

"Those animals~"

No matter how fast Zhao Yi swung his hoe, he could not keep up with the speed of destruction caused by those Immortals outside.

The Formation inside the Immortal Severing Cave was now teetering on the brink of collapse, and the sky had begun to cave in, exposing pitch-black spatial rifts.

The cold aura of death seeped from within those spatial rifts.

Zhao Yi estimated that even a Heavenly Immortal would kick the bucket if they went in.

And the spirit light sandstone that had originally been hidden deep within the mine was now like fish smelling the ocean,

rushing headlong into those spatial rifts; in just a few breaths, they were all gone.

Zhao Yi wanted to intercept a few, but was stopped by Approximate.

"Master, are you tired of living?"

"This is not a spatial rift of the Qingling Realm; falling into it means death or injury."

"Let's run away quickly."

"This small space is about to collapse."

"Sigh!"

Zhao Yi felt it was a great pity, as those were all experience points.

"Let's go!"

With a thought, he took Approximate and exited the Immortal Severing Cave.

As soon as the man and the Dragon came out, with a bang, the Immortal Severing Cave was struck by a sword beam and collapsed with a roar.

Red blood rain turned the ground red, staining everything, as if heaven and earth were weeping blood.

"This..."

"It's truly insane."

"Just how many Immortals have fallen here?"

Approximate shrank its head,

"Master, what on earth did you do?"

"This is simply a purgatory~"

Zhao Yi...

The sudden appearance of the man and the Dragon immediately attracted the attention of those Immortals.

"Zhao Yi!"

"He actually hasn't died yet?"

"It was he who killed the Sect Master and sent us on this road to the guillotine. Let's slaughter this sneaky bastard first!"

"Boom!"

Before the words had even faded, three sharp sword beams tore through the air, aiming directly at Zhao Yi's head, heart, and Dantian, with monstrous killing intent and hatred as deep as an abyss.

Zhao Yi's eyes turned cold, and the great sumeru treasure hoe directly smashed the three sword beams into smithereens.

"Hmph~"

"Do ants dare to compete with the bright moon?"

"Holy crap!"

"Immovable Void Technique."

Before he could even finish acting cool for three minutes, Zhao Yi hid inside the Fuyu Palace.

Thousands of Immortal techniques struck the spot where Zhao Yi had just been standing, piercing directly through space.

Approximate complained from within Zhao Yi's glabella,

"Master, you have to notify me in advance next time you want to run away."

"If it weren't for me running fast this time, I probably would have followed in our previous footsteps."

Zhao Yi...

He hid inside the Fuyu Palace and didn't dare to move at all.

Fortunately, there were no Heavenly Immortals inside, otherwise he would have been dead for sure.

The blood rain lasted for ten whole years.

Zhao Yi spent those ten years watching from inside the Fuyu Palace.

Of the Immortals originally in the Immortal Severing Cave, only one-tenth remained, a mere few hundred, while the rest had all fallen in this great battle.

Even these few hundred were still fighting to the death, refusing to let up, until a beam of Immortal light lit up the horizon.

"It's Heavenly Immortal Miao Hua~"

"Oh no, has he come out of seclusion?"

"Run!"

The few hundred survivors scattered like birds and beasts.

Only then did Zhao Yi reveal his figure.

"See, your hatred wasn't so great that it couldn't be reconciled, was it?"

Approximate hid deep within Zhao Yi's glabella and didn't dare to answer, because it felt a familiar aura.

Miao Hua had not yet arrived, but his voice arrived first.

"Hahaha~"

"Virtuous Younger Brother, look who this is?"

Standing on Miao Hua's white cloud was a gentle and elegant female Immortal.

Just from a fleeting glance, Zhao Yi developed infinite goodwill.

"This is..."

"Sister-in-law?"

Miao Hua nodded,

"That's right, this is indeed your sister-in-law."

"Lord, this is the sworn younger brother I have recognized. That you were able to wake up is entirely thanks to the spirit light sandstone he mined."

"Although he is a Death Cultivator, you must not look down on him. If you look down on him, you are looking down on me~"

Zhao Yi was speechless.

He really wanted to say to Miao Hua, is it okay for you to be so blunt?

Fortunately, Lord seemed to know Miao Hua's temperament and said gently: "My name is Venerable Deng, and I am the Sect Master of the Great Awakening Sect."

"Thank you, Uncle, for the spirit light sandstone. If it weren't for that spirit light sandstone, my injuries surely wouldn't have healed so quickly."

After Venerable Deng finished speaking, she was about to bow, which scared Zhao Yi into quickly dodging.

"Sister-in-law, you are too polite."

"It's just a few pieces of spirit light sandstone; it's good that you can use them."

Venerable Deng smiled slightly, flicked her finger gently, and a warm, gentle Immortal light merged into the center of Zhao Yi's brows.

"I observe that your cultivation is solid and your Foundation is thick, but your breathing is chaotic, likely because you have too many Cultivation Techniques and cannot specialize in just one."

"That Immortal light just now is the credential to enter the Scripture Pavilion of the Great Awakening Sect."

"With this Immortal light credential, you may practice any Cultivation Technique of the Great Awakening Sect without restriction."

Zhao Yi was stunned.

Sect Cultivation Techniques are of the utmost importance; they are the Foundation of a Sect. He did not expect Venerable Deng to give such a big gift right away.

"Sister-in-law, this..."

Zhao Yi wanted to decline, but was interrupted by Miao Hua.

"Virtuous Younger Brother, you truly are a person of great talent."

"In terms of being ruthless, you are much better than me."

"I once thought about cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots of the Immortals in the Immortal Severing Cave, but I was afraid that the slaughter would be too great and harm the harmony of heaven. I didn't expect that you, Virtuous Younger Brother, would be able to do it. You are a truly ruthless man!"

Zhao Yi...

"Big Brother, you have misunderstood."

He then explained how he had released many of the Immortals, only for them to kill each other.

Miao Hua fell silent.

"So, they had infighting?"

"How could it be like this?"

"Oh!"

"My Immortal Severing Cave..."

Only then did Miao Hua see the collapsed Immortal Severing Cave.

"It's finished."

"I was still hoping to mine some spirit light sandstone; what a pity."

Zhao Yi asked in confusion,

"Big Brother, since Sister-in-law has already recovered, why do you still need spirit light sandstone?"

"Virtuous Younger Brother, you don't know this, but besides being a medicinal ingredient, this spirit light sandstone is also an indispensable Material for refining Immortal Artifacts."

"Refining Immortal Artifacts?"

"How much more spirit light sandstone do you need?"

Miao Hua looked at Zhao Yi with shining eyes.

"Could it be?"

"Do you still have spirit light sandstone in your hands?"

"I do."

"Not much."

"One or two pieces are enough. I'll go buy some other Materials; it shouldn't be a big problem."

Zhao Yi...

He pointed his hand,

and four hundred and forty-seven pieces of spirit light sandstone appeared in front of Miao Hua.

"There are four hundred and forty-seven pieces here; is that enough?"

Slap!

Miao Hua reached out and slapped himself.

First more than two hundred pieces of spirit light sandstone, and now another four hundred plus pieces.

Is this the terrifying aspect of being a Death Cultivator?

Then what was his nine thousand years?

Suffering for nothing?

Miao Hua was slapping himself and zoning out, making Zhao Yi wonder what was wrong with him.

"Big Brother, don't you want these spirit light sandstone?"

"I want them, I want them, I want them~"

"How could I not want them?"

Miao Hua put away the spirit light sandstone.

Then, with a look of shame,

"Virtuous Younger Brother, to save your sister-in-law, I can say that I have exhausted all my wealth. Now my pockets are cleaner than my butt."

"But I won't take this spirit light sandstone from you for nothing."

"If you have anything you need, just say it~"

"As long as I can help, I will never stand by and watch."
