95: Chapter 95 Escape? Where can you escape to?
Zhao Yi found that so-called bai le stone from the rock.
Holding it in his hand, it trembled slightly, and as he held it longer, the trembling became more intense, until finally, Zhao Yi's entire arm began to vibrate along with it.
There are billions of types of Ore in the world; if not for the System's prompt, Zhao Yi truly would not recognize this thing.
"bai le stone?"
"I think it's a vibration stone, right?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you have certainly made us look hard for you."
"Eh, that's a bai le stone in your hand, isn't it?"
"The bai le stone, also known as the Husband-Replacing Stone, can both increase a female Cultivator's cultivation and spare one the hardships of Dual Cultivation."
"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Zhao to also enjoy this sort of thing."
"It's truly a disgrace to a Void Refining Cultivator."
A-Da and Bai Yucan blocked Zhao Yi's exit from the left and right.
Facing a Mahayana Cultivator and a Void Refining Cultivator, Zhao Yi was not afraid in the slightest; instead, he looked at the bai le stone in his hand with sparkling eyes.
"Holy beans."
"This is the famous Husband-Replacing Stone?"
He still remembered when he was at the Cultivation Academy one year, hearing that hundreds of female Cultivators had beaten each other's brains out over a single Husband-Replacing Stone.
He hadn't expected the bai le stone to actually be the Husband-Replacing Stone. No wonder the System judged it to be worth one High-Grade Spirit Stone; because it really could sell for one High-Grade Spirit Stone.
Zhao Yi put the bai le stone into his Storage Pouch, raised his hoe, and parried the suddenly appearing heart-piercing halberd.
"Elder Bai, is this an attempt at a sneak attack?"
"You old immortal, at your age, why are you still learning how to sneak attack people?"
Bai Yucan's lips trembled, "You, you..."
"We are both Void Refining Cultivators, with lifespans of nearly ten thousand years; how can you be full of such foul language?"
"Furthermore, I am not even two thousand years old this year, how am I old?"
Zhao Yi... "Two thousand years old and not old?"
"I'm not even a hundred years old this year, and you're still saying you're not old?"
It would have been better if Zhao Yi hadn't said anything; as soon as he did, A-Da and Bai Yucan sucked in a cold breath.
They only then realized that standing before them was actually a Void Refining Cultivator who was not even a hundred years old.
"That's fine, that's fine. You are a Death Cultivator; even if you survived the Hundred Day Fire and Thunder Tribulation, you will definitely not survive the next tribulation."
"However, I think you won't have a next tribulation."
"Because you must die today!"
As A-Da spoke, his figure suddenly vanished. This was not some Spell, but rather because he was fast to the extreme; even a Void Refining Cultivator could not see his movements clearly.
"Ah!" Zhao Yi let out a miserable scream, having been punched in the stomach by the suddenly appearing A-Da. This violent punch almost shattered Zhao Yi's frame.
"You..." Zhao Yi looked at A-Da, his hands drawing circles in the Void Realm, silently chanting in his heart: "The Great Void is silent, without form or trace..."
"Immovable Void Technique!"
"Not good!" Just as A-Da sensed something was wrong and was preparing to stop him, Approximate lunged forward and bit down.
"Hmm?"
"Where did a dog come from in the mine?"
"You ignorant beast." A-Da kicked Approximate into nothingness with one foot.
Delayed by Approximate, Zhao Yi's body had already become ethereal and vanished completely.
"What a powerful concealment Spell."
A-Da wandered around the spot where Zhao Yi had disappeared. He could feel that Zhao Yi was there, but he couldn't see him with his eyes, and his Divine Sense could not detect Zhao Yi's figure either.
He could just feel it; it was a very strange sensation.
"Where is the person?"
"How could he disappear?"
Unlike A-Da, Bai Yucan had completely lost his sense of Zhao Yi.
"What are you panicking about?"
"He is still here."
"He hasn't run away."
Bai Yucan... looked at the empty mine. If A-Da were not at the Mahayana Stage, he wouldn't believe that Zhao Yi was still here even if he were beaten to death.
"Hmph, hiding?"
"Let's see where you can hide?"
"Spirit Rhino Guidance!" A-Da formed hand seals with both hands, stomped his foot, and shouted, "Appear!"
This made the corners of Bai Yucan's mouth twitch, "Senior, this is a Spirit Stone mine, that Spell of yours..."
A-Da only then realized that Spells could not be used inside the mine.
"Hmph, a mere trick; do you think you can stump me with that?"
"Zhao Yi, you underestimate a Mahayana Cultivator too much."
As A-Da spoke, he unhurriedly found a flat rock and sat cross-legged on it. He made the same choice as Ye Qingyang. Waiting to the death.
"This..." Bai Yucan was stunned. After wandering around for a long time, he also found a flat stone opposite A-Da and, imitating A-Da's appearance, closed his eyes to Cultivate.
However, there was no Spiritual Qi in the mine at all. While it was called Cultivating, he was actually just resting his eyes. Being able to reach the Void Refining stage meant that the Cultivator's Heart-Nature was definitely superior to ordinary people.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed. A-Da remained motionless, as if he were asleep.
As for Zhao Yi, he dared not move even more, as he had to maintain the Immovable Void Technique. He had taken a punch from A-Da in the abdomen and sustained quite an injury; now was a good time to heal, so he was able to keep his composure.
A year passed. Now, even Bai Yucan's Aura had calmed down. Good grief, he had treated this place as a place for closed-door cultivation to the death.
Zhao Yi's injuries had already healed. He lay on the ground, his eyes unmoving, like a statue. In his heart, however, he was cursing, "Damn it, let's see who outlasts whom?"
Time flowed by; flowers bloomed and fell outside the mine, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Now, all the Cultivators in the entire Great White Spirit Stone Mine knew that A-Da and Bai Yucan were in the mine.
"How truly strange?"
"They aren't mining, and they aren't looking for anyone?"
"Could they be Cultivating in the mine?"
"I heard it's to block Mining Envoy Zhao."
"Zhao Yi?"
"Has anyone here seen him in the mine?" The many Cultivators looked at each other in dismay.
Zhao Yi hadn't shown his face in three years; he had probably run away long ago, right?
The discussions of the many Cultivators naturally reached A-Da's ears. But he remained unmoved.
Sitting cross-legged on the rock, motionless, his brows were slightly furrowed; clearly, his inner heart was not as calm as his appearance suggested.
And Zhao Yi, who was maintaining the Immovable Void Technique, was truly numb. Where did this stubborn fool come from?
Four years had already passed. If he had been mining Spirit Stones, how many would he have dug up?
"No, I cannot sit and wait for death."
"They have time to waste, but I don't."
"I must get out."
Having made up his mind, Zhao Yi no longer hesitated.
"Approximate, bite him!"
"great sumeru treasure hoe."
A golden light lunged at Bai Yucan. The great sumeru treasure hoe smashed toward A-Da.
"Explode!" When he underwent the Hundred Day Fire and Thunder Tribulation, the great sumeru treasure hoe had already turned golden; those golden colors were all ant-sized golden marks.
Now, following Zhao Yi's shout of 'Explode', the great sumeru treasure hoe instantly became a ball of lightning, falling onto A-Da's body. The brilliant light was like the sun, illuminating half the mine.
"Three Talents Body Protection Spell."
"Damn it!" A-Da habitually used his body protection Spell, but didn't expect that it wouldn't work at all; the thunder was already upon him, and he could only take it with his body.
Taking advantage of this brief opening, Zhao Yi hurriedly took out the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone marked with 'B' from his Storage Pouch.
His right hand formed a seal, "Spirit Stone traverses the profound, crossing boundaries without limit."
"Break Spell incantation: B"
The Spirit Stone in his left hand turned into powder, and Zhao Yi also vanished.
"Holy sh*t."
"System, my lord, I love you!"
"The Spirit Stone Traverse Art can actually be used in a Spirit Stone mine."
Zhao Yi's movements were fast, but A-Da's were not slow either; he shook the great sumeru treasure hoe into nothingness, and his figure vanished as well.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the mine. Releasing his Mahayana Stage cultivation, his monstrous Aura made the sky change color.
"Escape?"
"Where are you going to escape to?" Even though Zhao Yi was already ten thousand miles away, A-Da had still discovered him.
