Inner Alchemy

Mystic Realm Mine!

For the mine slaves of Ten Mine, these past few days have been the most comfortable time since they arrived at the mine.

Xiang Fei was no exception!

However, people like him, who didn't feel much when they were endlessly exploited before, now that they are idle, they feel a bit aimless.

Xiang Fei, who naturally longed for freedom, felt like he was going crazy during his time in the mine, so he aimlessly wandered within the movable range, as the existence of the copper ring also cut off his desire to Cultivate.

It must be said that Xiang Fei possessed a special talent.

That was his exceptionally keen nose.

Within three zhang, he could smell the scent of treasure.

It was by relying on this talent that his achievements far surpassed his peers, allowing him to Cultivate to the Three Yin Three Realm at his age.

In the collapsed spiritual mine, he vaguely felt the aura of a treasure flowing.

Without much hesitation, he quickly stepped forward and began to excavate the collapsed mine tunnel.

Before long, an inner core stood prominently before his eyes.

The inner core was the size of a fist, with a shimmering, ethereal glow.

It contained a surging energy; just one whiff made one's spirit tremble.

It shone with golden light, truly extraordinary.

"This should be a Yao Beast's inner core!"

Xiang Fei examined it for a moment, his eyes shining brightly.

Within the mine tunnels, there were not only human mine slaves, but also some exotic beasts that had been captured to dig Ore.

He speculated that someone must have killed a Yao Beast to obtain its core, but did not use it immediately, nor did they have a place to hide it, so they concealed it here.

After all, a mine slave's Storage Pouch had no concept of privacy.

Phoenix Feather Sect members could easily sense whatever was hidden inside with a simple scan.

Xiang Fei looked at the shining golden inner core, his eyes turning green with desire.

"What a stroke of luck!"

"I didn't expect to find such a treasure."

This inner core was of no low grade.

If he were to swallow and refine it, the replenishment of this energy would make his days in the mining area much easier.

To exaggerate a bit, this inner core, in such a place, could even save his life at a critical moment.

Xiang Fei opened his mouth wide, intending to swallow the inner core and then refine it.

After all, no matter how good a treasure was, it only truly belonged to him after it was refined.

But then he had a change of heart.

"No, I must leave half for Brother Zhong!"

"We have shared hardships, and now that there's a benefit, I naturally cannot forget him!"

With this thought, he directly put away the inner core.

He planned to share it with Zhong Qing.

However, before he could leave, he was stopped by someone.

"Kid, what did you hide? Hand it over!"

In the crisscrossing mine tunnels, four mine slaves emerged from a corner of a tunnel.

They looked at Xiang Fei with ill intent.

His heart couldn't help but tighten.

He calmly said, "What thing? Nothing!"

"Don't speak nonsense!"

The four mine slaves were numbered 3423, 3424, 3425, and 3426 respectively!

They were not tall, dressed in gray linen, and looked like refugees.

And this was a common characteristic among mine slaves.

What was different was that their eyes were fierce, and they exuded Evil Qi, clearly indicating they were ruthless killers, not easy to deal with.

Mine slave number 3524's eyes gleamed as he spoke to 3523.

"Big Brother, if I wasn't mistaken just now, what that kid hid in his embrace should be a Yao Beast inner core."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the other three immediately grew heated.

Their breathing quickened a few beats.

The value of a Yao Beast inner core in this mine tunnel could be said to be immeasurable.

It might even save their lives at a critical moment.

"Kid, hand over the Yao Beast inner core, and we'll spare your life!"

3523's voice changed, purely from excitement.

Xiang Fei took a deep breath.

Seeing that the matter of the Yao Beast inner core had been discovered, he didn't try to argue.

Instead, he looked at the four and said in a deep voice, "Friends, this thing was found by me."

"Within the mine, private fights and killings among us are strictly forbidden!"

"You wouldn't want to violate the mine's rules, would you!"

During this time, Xiang Fei had figured out many of the mine's rules.

And among them was one rule.

Private fights among mine slaves were strictly forbidden.

Once discovered, severe punishment was inevitable.

Receiving several lightning whips was considered light.

In serious cases, they might even be fed a Blood Bursting Pill and used as explosives for Ore mining.

For the person in charge, it didn't matter who was right or wrong, nor would they seek justice for you; anyone who made a move, all participants, were considered guilty of a serious crime.

Mine slaves had no human rights whatsoever in this area.

Their lives were also in a state where they could be taken at any time.

Rule after rule was built upon countless bloody, vibrant lives.

Facing the wary Xiang Fei, among the four, the man numbered 3524 sneered, "Kid, don't try to pressure me with the mine rules!"

"This old man has been in the mine for decades; when it comes to rules, I know them better than you!"

"As long as I can kill you on the spot, then you'll just be a casualty of a work injury."

"Do you think anyone will investigate the real culprit for your cheap life? Naive!"

"I'll say it again, hand over the inner core, and I'll spare your life!"

"Otherwise, this time next year will be your death anniversary!"

His voice was cold and domineering, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

In the Cultivation world, the strong are respected.

Examples of people fighting over Cultivation resources are abundant throughout the world.

What's more, this was in a mine with extremely scarce resources.

The mine was also known as the underground purgatory.

This name was not just for show.

Seeing that these people disregarded even the mine rules, Xiang Fei also became ruthless.

"Bring it on!"

"I want to see if you have the ability to take what belongs to me from my hands."

He was not a person who would passively accept everything.

His experiences these past few days had also left him with a pent-up feeling.

He just felt extremely stifled in life.

Now, he had finally found a good item, and before it even warmed up in his hands, someone jumped out to snatch it.

Naturally, he would not agree.

The Evil Qi in his heart was also stimulated.

"Good kid, since you want to die, then this old man will grant your wish!"

"Go!"

With a low roar, the four moved instantly.

They all launched fierce killing moves at Xiang Fei.

Despite their small stature.

But they moved like a Dragon, and their speed was like the wind.

Their Qi and blood were so abundant, like ancient Vicious Beasts.

Every move carried the power to overturn mountains and seas.

As soon as they clashed, Xiang Fei's expression changed.

He thought that with his strength, and being able to use a little Mystic power, even if four people of the same Realm came, he wouldn't be afraid at all.

However, these four were not at the Three Yin Three Realm at all.

But... the Three Yang Realm.
