220: Chapter 220 Congratulations, Second Master Zhao! You are overjoyed to receive the essence of the Taiyi Purple Thunder!

"So it was you!" The Xuanpin Spirit Fox had naturally seen Approximate in his dog form. "Where did you get that dragon skin? This young lady almost didn't recognize you."

Approximate... He looked at the Xuanpin Spirit Fox with suspicion and uncertainty. He had never seen the Xuanpin Spirit Fox in her human form before. The Xuanpin Spirit Fox immediately switched between her human form and her original form.

"Holy crap!" Approximate finally realized. "It's you? That mongrel!" Looking like a cow and a fox, wasn't that exactly a mongrel?

"Hmm!" The Xuanpin Spirit Fox's face instantly flushed red. She shot two beams of white light from her eyes, instantly killing Approximate.

That still wasn't enough to vent her anger. She stepped forward and stomped on Approximate's corpse. "Dead Dog! You're clearly a dog, yet you insist on pretending to be a Dragon. You're the mongrel! Your whole family are mongrels!"

Not satisfied even after stomping Approximate into minced meat, she cast a beam of Immortal light, vaporizing the mass of blood and Qi, before sitting down resentfully.

The vaporized Approximate did not disappear as the Xuanpin Spirit Fox had expected. Instead, he transformed into golden runes, returning to Zhao Yi's Sea of Consciousness.

"Hmm?" Following the golden runes, the Xuanpin Spirit Fox carefully observed what Zhao Yi was Cultivating. "Late Stage Heavenly Immortal?" It wasn't just the cultivation Breakthrough; that trace of Dao intent made the Xuanpin Spirit Fox jump to her feet. "Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder?"

Yes, the Xuanpin Spirit Fox was not mistaken. Zhao Yi, inside the Fuyu Palace, was also shocked. After his Breakthrough to Late Stage Heavenly Immortal, he suddenly discovered that inside the thumb bone that had survived the longest in the Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder, a dark purple rune was silently imprinted. It was shaped like a thunder pattern, yet it contained a trace of vitality.

"What the hell!" "What is this thing? Is this a Dao trace left by the Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder? No, that's not right."

Zhao Yi's mind stirred. He operated the Primordial Scripture, attempting to refine this trace, but discovered it faintly resonated with the Substance of Eternity rewarded by the System.

"This isn't some Dao trace. It's a wisp of Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder that was preserved?" Zhao Yi suddenly realized, feeling his body and the wisp of Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder in his palm merging.

"This... Could I refine it?" As the words fell, Zhao Yi hesitated no longer. He held his thumb up in front of him, and a purple-gold thunder pattern slowly rose, hovering three inches above his head like a miniature tribulation cloud.

"Law of Money! Money can reach the gods, and it can also refine the Dao. Today, I take money as the furnace and my life as the fuel to refine this Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder and make it my own."

The Law of Money descended. Golden light and purple thunder intertwined, forming a beam of light that connected heaven and earth above the Fuyu Palace. Although there was no tribulation cloud, thunder rumbled from deep underground; although there was no heavenly might, the Law trembled because of it.

Deep within that beam of light, Zhao Yi's figure was flickering, as if he were slowly incorporating a power that did not belong to this world into himself.

The beam of light dissipated. Heaven and earth returned to silence. Only inside the Fuyu Palace did a figure slowly stand up. He stood barefoot on the ground, his robes disheveled, yet his aura was like an abyss, unfathomable. In the palm of his right hand, a purple-gold thunder pattern flowed silently, sometimes transforming into the shape of a copper coin, sometimes into a chain of thunder.

"Congratulations, Second Master Zhao, on obtaining the intent of the Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder!" The Xuanpin Spirit Fox's crisp voice rang in Zhao Yi's ear, interrupting his self-intoxication.

"Hmm?" Zhao Yi stepped out of the Fuyu Palace. "So the Divine Envoy is visiting. I wonder what business brings you here?"

The Xuanpin Spirit Fox looked at Zhao Yi. As if she had figured something out, she bowed slightly to him. This was the standard etiquette for maids to masters in the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty. "Second Master Zhao, please don't take offense! When this little girl attained human form, I was granted a name by the Master—Ling Xiu! Second Master Zhao, you can just call me that."

"What Divine Envoy? I am not worthy of such a title." "Heh!" Zhao Yi chuckled. Ling Xiu? She must be asking him for something. So, when she needs something, she's Ling Xiu, but when she doesn't, she's the Divine Envoy, right?

Although Zhao Yi's cultivation was not up to par with the Xuanpin Spirit Fox, he at least had some backbone. He wouldn't let a form of address change anything. "Divine Envoy, just say what you have to say."

The Xuanpin Spirit Fox seemed to return to the time she first watched Zhao Yi digging for Spirit Stone. She said subserviently, "Second Master Zhao, that Divine Stone Mine... still requires your esteemed self to take action. My master is currently at a critical moment and is waiting for the Divine Stone to save his life. I beg Second Master Zhao to help out."

Zhao Yi was stunned. He had intended to refuse, wanting to teach the Xuanpin Spirit Fox a lesson. Setting aside Li Yizhen, just the Divine Stone Mine alone—damn it! The Xuanpin Spirit Fox had hit his lifeline with this, and he simply couldn't refuse.

"Ling Xiu!" "Heh heh!" "If it were anything else, your Second Master Zhao really couldn't help you. But as for mining..." Zhao Yi struck a pose of unrivaled confidence. "You've come to the right person. Since I've just had a Breakthrough, I'll accompany you to loosen up my muscles and bones."

"That's wonderful. This servant thanks Second Master Zhao." The Xuanpin Spirit Fox had absolutely no awareness of being a Golden Immortal, lowering her posture very, very low. "Second Master Zhao, please this way." She casually tore open space and said to Zhao Yi.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yi nodded, his eyes filled with envy. His Late Stage Heavenly Immortal cultivation was not yet enough to support him in tearing through space and traversing the Great Awakening Spirit Realm at will.

As Zhao Yi and the Xuanpin Spirit Fox appeared one after the other at the Divine Stone Mine, the Immortals on the Divine Stone Mine were stunned. "He..." "Only Late Stage Heavenly Immortal cultivation..." "Divine Envoy, can he do it?" Luoke Bo, who was at the Late Stage Profound Immortal, questioned suspiciously.

Zhao Yi looked at the densely packed small holes on the Divine Stone Mine and simply laughed. "If I can't do it, why don't you dig it yourselves?"

"You!" Luoke Bo looked at Zhao Yi. "Hmph! Don't think that just because the Divine Envoy calls you Second Master Zhao, you really are some kind of master. You had better be able to dig out a Divine Stone. Otherwise..." Luoke Bo struck out a beam of Immortal light, and a small hillside ten thousand miles away was instantly blasted into a deep pit. "That will be your burial ground."

The Xuanpin Spirit Fox smiled without refuting him, only saying indifferently, "Step back!" "Yes, Divine Envoy."

Zhao Yi looked speechlessly at the Xuanpin Spirit Fox. It had only been a few hundred years, but where on earth did this guy, who used to be covered in yellow mud, learn all these twists and turns?

"Damn it!" "Get out of the way, don't hinder my mining of the Divine Stone." Zhao Yi took out the great sumeru treasure hoe and dug a hoe into the spot where Luoke Bo was standing.

"You..." Luoke Bo, who had almost been hit, operated his Immortal power and prepared to fight back. But seeing Zhao Yi's hoe dig into the mountain rock so easily, he was stunned. "You..." "How is this possible?"

Zhao Yi operated his Immortal power, aided by the Law of Money. With one hoe, the mountain rock was pried out. There was no notification sound from the System. Three pieces of low-grade immortal stone. "Pah!" "Nothing at all, how unlucky!"

Luoke Bo... I'm unlucky? "I'll fight you to the death."

"Enough!" The Xuanpin Spirit Fox glared, looking fierce in a cute way. Zhao Yi had used this hoe to prove his strength, so she naturally had to come out to protect Zhao Yi. "Second Master Zhao, you truly haven't lost your touch. I wonder if you can dig out a Divine Stone within three hundred years?"
