97: Chapter 97 Dead Dog, You Really Can't Be Lived Anymore

Inside the Jishan Spirit Stone Mine, Zhao Yi had no idea that the winds of change were blowing outside.

Aside from being a bit worried about A'Da, he didn't fear other Cultivators coming; at worst, he would just swing his hoe and fight them head-on!

"Approximation Technique,"

"Within twenty meters,"

"The Great Dao is Simple, the Approximate is naturally formed... Rounding off, the universe is determined."

As the golden characters transformed into Approximate, Zhao Yi stroked its dog head,

"Silly Dog, do you think I should just fly away?"

"Stay far away from this nest of trouble that is Anning Prefecture?"

"Unfortunately, I can't."

"Who told the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty to have most of its Spirit Stone mines gathered here? If I leave, where will I go to mine Spirit Stone?"

"If I don't mine Spirit Stone, what else can I do?"

"Cultivate?"

Zhao Yi laughed as he said this.

Let him Cultivate? With his Aptitude, he probably wouldn't be able to Breakthrough his current Realm until the day he died.

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore."

"With so many troubles, when will I be able to just simply mine Spirit Stone?"

Zhao Yi looked at Approximate, who was jumping up and down ahead. It was laughable, but he actually felt that he wasn't as happy and free as the dog.

"Sigh!"

"Silly Dog, where is there Spirit Stone?"

"Only Spirit Stone can make me happy now."

"Woof..."

Approximate headed deep along the main mine tunnel.

The Jishan Spirit Stone Mine had been developed for a long time, and the depth of its tunnels was the greatest among the many Spirit Stone mines Zhao Yi had worked in.

Half a day later, Approximate finally stopped in this branch tunnel.

"Damn, Dead Dog, did you secretly evolve again?"

"How are you so fast? I almost couldn't keep up with you."

Zhao Yi's face...

As a Void Refining Cultivator, he had almost failed to outrun a dog.

"No, no, I need to take a breather."

"Are you sure about which direction to start digging?"

Approximate...

It just couldn't speak, otherwise it would definitely have cursed at Zhao Yi. Asking it to find the mine tunnel was one thing, but asking it to determine the direction? Was he going to make it mine the Spirit Stone next?

Was this treating a dog like a dog? This was treating a dog like a beast of burden.

"Woof!"

It lay down to the southwest and didn't move.

"Good."

"Doggy, move aside, leave the rest to me."

"great sumeru treasure hoe."

"Come!"

Zhao Yi extended his right hand and shouted.

The great sumeru treasure hoe that had been shattered by A'Da appeared once again.

For a treasure that couldn't be broken, couldn't be sealed, and came at a call, Zhao Yi could only praise it as "666".

It was truly... too satisfying.

"Top-Grade Spirit Stone, come!"

Bang.

Zhao Yi swung his hoe into the mine wall. As the rock kept falling, pieces of Low-Grade Spirit Stone embedded in the rock were picked out by Approximate and piled to the side.

It had to be said that the items rewarded by the System were truly Heaven-Defying; the Spirit Stone branch tunnels that Approximate found never seemed to have any issues.

Low-Grade Spirit Stone, Low-Grade Spirit Stone...

A pile of Low-Grade Spirit Stone, it didn't increase his experience points.

"Damn it, that's not right. When I dug up the bai le stone, I seemed to have gotten a good luck card."

Zhao Yi slapped his forehead; it was all because of the trouble caused by A'Da and Bai Yucan.

"System."

【Miner: Zhao Yi】

【Cultivation: Void Refining Early Stage (insufficient experience points, cannot upgrade)】

【experience points: 105 / 400】

【Reward: good luck card (300 seconds)】

"Claim reward."

If there was something good, he would use it first; Zhao Yi never had the habit of saving things.

As the 300-second countdown appeared in his eyes, Zhao Yi's arm was swinging so fast it was a blur.

300 seconds, five minutes.

This was the first time Zhao Yi had been rewarded with such a long good luck card.

Five minutes, how much could he do?

Zhao Yi didn't know, but just swinging the hoe, with Zhao Yi's current Cultivation, swinging it twenty thousand times was not a problem at all.

How much Spirit Stone could twenty thousand swings of the hoe mine?

Zhao Yi had no concept of it, but he would soon find out.

When the countdown reached 271, the System notification sound finally appeared in Zhao Yi's ears.

【You have dug up a High-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points +1.】

This High-Grade Spirit Stone was like triggering a signal, and then the System notification sound rang continuously in Zhao Yi's mind.

【You have dug up a High-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points +1.】

【You have dug up a High-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points +1.】

...

At first, the completely unprepared Approximate was startled by Zhao Yi, who had suddenly erupted into action.

But as the rock, like a landslide, fell down with many Spirit Stones embedded, Approximate stopped pretending.

It turned into a golden lightning bolt, weaving through the rocks; just like that, the Spirit Stones in the corner were sorted and classified,

High, Medium, and Low grades of Spirit Stone were placed together according to their respective attributes.

"10..."

With the last ten seconds remaining, Zhao Yi's muscles were already sore.

But the constant notification sounds in his mind made Zhao Yi overjoyed.

"Just how much Spirit Stone did I dig up?"

"Could I have hollowed out the Jishan Spirit Stone Mine?"

Zhao Yi was a bit nervous; hollowing out a mine in five minutes, was that too exaggerated?

1

Watching the countdown about to hit zero, the System notification sound rang in Zhao Yi's mind once again.

【You have dug up a chi yang stone, experience points +1.】

【First time digging up a chi yang stone, reward: good luck card (300 seconds)】

"What?"

Zhao Yi thought he was having auditory hallucinations.

Another good luck card reward?

What was the System trying to do?

Could it hear his inner thoughts?

Zhao Yi opened the attribute panel, a bit bewildered.

【Miner: Zhao Yi】

【Cultivation: Void Refining Early Stage (insufficient experience points, cannot upgrade)】

【experience points: 143 / 400】

【Reward: good luck card (300 seconds)】

"There really is a good luck card."

When he saw the experience points were at 143, Zhao Yi was stunned.

If he remembered correctly, before using the good luck card, the experience points were only 105. That meant in these short five minutes,

Zhao Yi had dug up 38 High-Grade Spirit Stones and gained 38 experience points.

"The good luck card is truly terrifying. If I could keep using the good luck card to dig, would I be able to reach Immortal Ascension soon?"

Turning around, Approximate was sitting in front of the three piles of Spirit Stones, wagging its tail non-stop,

"You Silly Dog."

It was laughable, but Zhao Yi actually saw admiration in the eyes of a dog formed by a Spell.

But when he saw the Spirit Stones, Zhao Yi's Life Qi flared up.

"Big brother, are you going to hand them over? Or do you want me to do it myself?"

The System counted 38 High-Grade Spirit Stones, but there were only 9 in front of Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi looked at Approximate; this wasn't just embezzlement, this was sucking the bone marrow.

Seeing Zhao Yi's serious expression, Approximate opened its mouth and spat out 9 High-Grade Spirit Stones, then looked at Zhao Yi with an innocent face.

Zhao Yi...

He didn't speak either; he took out his hoe and, in a few swift strokes, dug out a stone pot and made a stone stove.

He wanted to extend his hand to create flames, but he didn't expect that Spells couldn't be used in the mine tunnel. However, the chi yang stone was emitting a red light from within the rocks.

"Hmph, Dead Dog, I really can't keep you."

"Besides Spirit Stone, do you not recognize any other Ore?"

"Watch me stew you today..."

Zhao Yi grumbled and cursed as he dug the chi yang stone out from the rocks.

This chi yang stone was as red as blood and contained the ultimate Yang Qi; from a distance, Zhao Yi could feel a scorching heat.

It was enough to use as a fire source.

Approximate had originally been watching Zhao Yi busy with great interest, but when it heard that Zhao Yi wanted to stew it, it instantly became restless.

Turning into a golden beam of light, it instantly ran out of the mine tunnel.
