Gu Yuan chuckled, looked at the little witch, and said, "Let's go! Let's go in and see how they're doing!"

The little witch nodded. She walked behind and followed Gu Yuan in. She waved her hand to seal the cave entrance, and then the two of them walked deep underground.

"When Yu'er and I discovered this place, there were still more than a dozen people digging for spirit stones here. They were all from the Huoyun Sect, but now they work for me." Gu Yuan said proudly.

The little witch curled her lips and said, "Why do all the good things happen to you?"

"Tsk, God's chosen one, so lucky, just so lucky! Haha!"

The little witch follows behind Gu Yuan, is she the chosen one?

Squeak--

The door was pushed open, and Zhang Youzhi and others who were digging for spirit stones changed their expressions. They hurriedly formed a defensive formation and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Gu Yuan's figure.

Zhang Youzhi hurried over to greet him, "Mr. Gu, you're here?"

Gu Yuan nodded, and looking at Zhang Youzhi and the others, who still had traces of sweat on their heads, he suddenly felt a surge of guilt.

Am I too inhumane? Not only did I occupy other people's spirit stone mines, but I also treated them as my own laborers?

However, as soon as this thought appeared, Gu Yuan suppressed it. He was really a kind person. The cultivation world was so cruel. Opportunities were given to those who were prepared. He just went with the flow.

Gu Yuan told himself this in his heart.

"How's it going? How many spirit stones have you dug out in the past two days?" Gu Yuan asked with a smile.

"Master Hui, thanks to your great blessing, after you left that day, I was surprised to find that the previously hard areas have become much softer. In some places, we can dig them out directly without using spiritual energy. So, after these two days of non-stop digging day and night, the thirteen of us have dug up a total of 24,000 spiritual stones! Among them, there are 23,767 low-grade spiritual stones and 233 medium-grade spiritual stones!"

"Oh? There are actually mid-grade spirit stones? That's great! Not bad!" Gu Yuan was also a little surprised. He thought there would be no mid-grade spirit stones in this place.

"Hehe, these are all thanks to Master Gu's great fortune, so he brought back mid-grade spirit stones. You know, we dug here for so many days before and didn't find any mid-grade spirit stones, not even a single one, but as soon as you came, we found them!"

Zhang Youzhi is indeed a man who can bend and stretch. This flattery almost made Gu Yuan fly away.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan is a self-aware man and did not get carried away.

"Oh, look at my head, I almost forgot!"

Zhang Youzhi slapped his head, quickly took off the ring from his hand, handed it to Gu Yuan, and said, "Sir, here are the spirit stones we collected in the past two days. Not a single one is missing, all of them are in here!"

Gu Yuan took it and scanned it with his soul power before nodding and saying with a smile, "Well done."

Zhang Youzhi also showed a trace of relief on his face. He glanced at the little witch beside Gu Yuan and asked tentatively, "Mr. Gu, that... that important person who came with you that day, where is she? Why can't I see her?"

"What? Do you want to see her?" Gu Yuan put away the ring and asked.

"No, no! I just suddenly remembered it and asked." Zhang Youzhi said embarrassedly.

"Oh, her, she left. Something happened and she can't come back for the time being. She may be gone for one or two months!" Gu Yuan thought for a while and said.

The little witch raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

"Ah? Gone? For so long?" Zhang Youzhi asked in surprise.

"Yes, what's wrong? I see you seem a little lost?" Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Youzhi and asked.

"Ah? No, no, that's not the case! I was just asking casually." Zhang Youzhi waved his hands hurriedly.

"Well, that's good. She is a powerful Spirit Emperor. You know what a powerful Spirit Emperor is. So if you see her in the future, you'd better behave yourself. After all, not everyone has a good temper like me, right?" Gu Yuan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Youzhi nodded hurriedly.

"Oh, by the way. I forgot to introduce him to you. This is my friend. He has reached the third level of spiritual master at such a young age! How about it, isn't he amazing?" Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Youzhi and asked.

"Level 3 Spirit Master?"

Zhang Youzhi's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Gu Yuan, then hastily averted his gaze. He laughed dryly and said, "Yes, this girl's talent is truly terrifying. At this age, she has already reached the level of a Spirit Master. It really puts us all here to shame! I believe it won't be long before this girl will be able to reach the realm of an Emperor!"

"Hahaha, did you hear that? I'm praising you!"

Gu Yuan looked at the little witch and gave her a look.

Zhang Youzhi lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

The people behind him also lowered their heads. When they heard Gu Yuan say that the little witch was only a third-level spirit master, Gu Yuan clearly felt a slight fluctuation in someone's aura...

"Okay, that's all for today. By the way, here are the spirit stones for you. We agreed on 10% for every 10%, so that's 2,400 in total. That's about 200 each. You'll all be rich soon, and it won't be unfair to you at all!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Master Gu Yuan is right!" Zhang Youzhi replied.

"Yes! This is the antidote that needs to be taken once every three days. Tomorrow, each of you just need to take one. I will come back when the time comes. You just work hard. When I think the time is right, you will be free."
