120: Chapter 120 The Conspiracy of the Divine Firmament Sect

After establishing their relationship as Dao Companions, Yun Chenfei and Yi Kuhan were inseparable, spending almost every day together.

With the added benefits of Dual Cultivation, both of their cultivation levels advanced by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, Yun Chenfei was only one step away from the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Yi Kuhan had already reached the First Grade Condensing Spirit Realm a month ago, and the divine phoenix origin within her was one step closer to Awakening.

This made Yi Kuhan cherish the time she spent with Yun Chenfei even more.

After Vice Sect Master discovered Shangguan Wenxuan and Shen Wanqing's conspiracy regarding the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone mine, they sought out Xiang Tianba of the Divine Firmament Sect.

After losing the previous Spirit Stone mine dispute to the Xuan Yue Sect, Xiang Tianba had been constantly looking for an opportunity to retaliate against the Xuan Yue Sect.

After Shangguan Wenxuan and Shen Wanqing approached him, the two sides hit it off immediately and quickly formulated a plan against the Xuan Yue Sect.

Since winning the six-month mining rights for the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone mine, the Xuan Yue Sect had been sending two Elders to guard Black Stone Mountain every month.

This month, it happened to be the turn of Yun Chenfei and Yi Kuhan's Revered Master, Hua Qianmo, and Spirit Beast Pavilion Elder Wei Changhe to guard the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone mine.

Many Xuan Yue Sect Disciples were also mining here, especially those who had participated in the betting battle last time.

Except for Yun Chenfei and Yi Kuhan, almost everyone else was here mining Spirit Stones.

After all, each of them only needed to hand over 50% of the Spirit Stones they mined.

After deducting the Spirit Stones handed over, they could obtain over a dozen Mid-Grade Spirit Stones every day, which was a significant income for them.

At this moment, Jing Sheng was mining Spirit Stones in a mine tunnel with her Little White Tiger.

"Xiao Xin, come quickly and see if this is a High-Grade Spirit Stone?"

Looking at the stone in the Little White Tiger's mouth, which was clearly much purer than ordinary Spirit Stones, Jing Sheng said excitedly.

"You're so lucky. The one in Little White's mouth is indeed a High-Grade Spirit Stone. Hurry and let Little White continue digging; there might be more High-Grade Spirit Stones inside."

"This one High-Grade Spirit Stone is worth a hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. With just this one stone today, you've matched the harvest of other Disciples for a whole month."

Glancing at the Spirit Stone in the Little White Tiger's mouth, Song Xinyao said.

"No wonder the Vice Sect Master was so happy when we won the Spirit Stone mine dispute."

"So the Spirit Stones mined from this Mid-Grade Spirit Stone mine are of much higher quality than those from the Low-Grade Spirit Stone mine."

"And we've only just begun; the quality of the Spirit Stones further in might be even better."

Taking the High-Grade Spirit Stone from the Little White Tiger's mouth and feeling the pure Spiritual Qi emanating from it, Jing Sheng said.

"Duh, in the entire Water Moon Continent, only the Divine Firmament Sect previously possessed a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone mine, and it wasn't even as big as this one."

"Otherwise, why do you think the Sect would offer the condition of only handing over 50% of the Spirit Stones? Based on our current mining progress, the Spirit Stones here can be mined for at least several decades."

Glancing at Jing Sheng, Song Xinyao said while mining Spirit Stones.

The two of them, plus the Little White Tiger, began mining even more diligently after unearthing the High-Grade Spirit Stone.

Upon learning that his Revered Master was in charge of the Spirit Stone mine, Yun Chenfei sent his Clone to Black Stone Mountain to mine.

When other Elders were guarding the Spirit Stone mine, Yun Chenfei would have had to hand over 50% of the Spirit Stones he mined, so he never came to mine.

Now that it was his Revered Master's turn to be in charge, Yun Chenfei naturally wouldn't have to hand over the Spirit Stones he mined; he could keep everything he dug up.

If his true body wasn't with Yi Kuhan, he would have wanted to come and mine the Spirit Stones himself.

Yun Chenfei wanted to create a starry sky for Yi Kuhan within his Small World, which required vast amounts of Spiritual Qi to expand the space within his body.

Taking advantage of this Spirit Stone mine excavation, he really wanted to see if he could artificially cultivate a Spirit Stone mine within his own body.

Under Yun Chenfei's control, his Clone soon arrived inside the Spirit Stone mine tunnel of Black Stone Mountain.

As it turned out, the mine tunnels here were very similar to some coal mine tunnels of later generations, all located hundreds of meters underground, with some deep areas even reaching over a thousand meters.

It was also interconnected, with many tunnels dug out.

Choosing a random tunnel with no one else around, Yun Chenfei began to dig.

...

Every ten days, a group of Disciples would escort the mined Spirit Stones back to the Xuan Yue Sect.

This time, the task of escorting the Spirit Stones fell to Lu Zian and Jiang Zihang.

"Senior Brother Lu Zian, I have a bad feeling about this trip to escort the Spirit Stones."

Looking around, Jiang Zihang said.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Jiang. For the past few months, the fellow Disciples who escorted the Spirit Stones have always taken this route without any issues."

Lu Zian, who was walking at the front of the group, said.

"I hope so. Since this morning, my right eyelid has been twitching. We should be careful, just in case someone leaked the news..."

As he spoke, Jiang Zihang couldn't help but quicken his pace.

When they passed through a forest, whether influenced by Jiang Zihang's words or something else, a sense of foreboding also arose in Lu Zian's heart.

"Everyone, stop."

Looking at the forest not far ahead, Lu Zian stopped walking.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Lu? Why did you stop?"

"Yeah, why stop? After passing that forest, we'll be close to our Sect's outpost."

"We've been traveling for three days straight, so we can just rest there for the night."

The other Disciples spoke up one after another.

"I remember that when we came, there were many birds in that forest. Don't you think it's too quiet in the forest today?"

Looking at the people behind him, Lu Zian said.

"Now that Senior Brother Lu mentions it, you're right. I also remember there were many bird calls in the forest when we came."

One of the female Disciples said.

"How about we take a detour? If we go that way, we can bypass this forest in two days."

Pointing to another road, Jiang Zihang said in a low voice.

"If someone is really lying in wait to rob us, even if we take a detour, we won't be able to avoid it."

"Everyone, be careful. Take a Medicinal Pill first to replenish your Mana."

Casually taking out a bottle of Medicinal Pills and distributing them, Lu Zian said softly.

"Don't let them recover their Mana. Everyone, charge with me and finish them off quickly."

Seeing the Xuan Yue Sect members about to take Medicinal Pills to restore their Mana, the Divine Firmament Sect Disciples ambushed in the forest immediately attacked them at high speed.

"There really is an ambush! Quickly send the Sect's distress signal."

After leaving these words, Lu Zian immediately activated Earth Protection and headed towards the few Divine Firmament Sect Disciples who were rushing towards him fastest.

Hearing this, Jiang Zihang hurriedly ignited the Sect's distress signal he was carrying.

A streak of purple light flashed, and a pale purple crescent moon appeared in the sky.
