It's strange that you can get in, because the one who set up the barrier is a stone that has lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.

"Well, I barely made it in. Then an illusion appeared. After breaking the illusion, I was exhausted and stayed inside to recuperate. I haven't come out until now. The walls inside are covered with top-grade spirit stones. There is another hole just like this one at the deepest part." Sang Jin briefly explained what happened inside the barrier, but omitted the matter of Bai Jingjing.

"You can go in there now. I found that after breaking the illusion, the barrier and pressure there are gone." Sang Jin said, pointing to the barrier.

"Then let's go take a look first."

Sang Jin led the two into the passage again. The passage was very long and could only accommodate one person at a time. A child like Sang Jin could easily fit two people at once.

"They're all top-grade spirit stones!" Even the worldly-wise Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but exclaim. Their sect also had top-grade spirit stones. Only a few elders could use them. And the purity of the spiritual energy inside them wasn't even as high as the one here.

He casually picked up a spirit stone from the wall and played with it in his hand. One top-grade spirit stone here was equivalent to the spiritual energy of ten top-grade spirit stones in their sect.

This long passage, both sides studded with top-grade spirit stones, quickly sensed it with his divine sense. This must be a spirit vein, buried directly beneath Mount Weinan. If he sent people here to mine it in large quantities, it would inevitably attract the attention of other forces.

He knew that this place was a good place for disciples of the sect to train.

"Xiao Jin, this place is a spiritual vein." Li Jingyu stated the fact lightly.

"This spiritual vein is still full of top-grade spiritual stones. We can't mine them in large quantities for the time being." Gu Qingcheng's expression turned serious. This was the first time Sang Jin had heard him speak so seriously.

"Come with me. I have an idea." Sang Jin continued to move forward with the two people and the beast.

Finally they came to the cave where Bai Jingjing had stayed before.

"爅爅, draw a high-level spirit gathering array and a teleportation array here. We can bring our disciples here to practice in the future, which will be more effective than practicing outside." After Sang Jin finished speaking his thoughts, he looked at Li Jing爅 and Gu Qingcheng.

"This is a good idea. But we need to mine some of these spirit stones. I will send fewer people to mine them." Gu Qingcheng said.

"Okay. To keep things quiet, I won't let the villagers come to collect spirit stones. We'll divide the spirit stones you collect equally."

"Okay, that's no problem."

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Sang Jin used earth-based techniques to decorate the cave. Okay, now it looks like a place for cultivation.

Before leaving, the three of them each dug up some top-grade spirit stones, then left the teleportation array contentedly and returned to the village.

Sang Jin drew a teleportation array for entering the cave to practice, and then she arrived at the crooked tree at the village entrance. After she finished, she returned to the Sang family. Seeing that it was getting late, she didn't wake anyone at home.

They actually stayed at the bottom of the river for two full days and nights. Only when she lay down on her bed did Sang Jin finally relax. Although the days were not always peaceful, they were also quite fulfilling.

It was not until the next day when Yueya saw her young lady sitting in the dining room eating that she realized that her young lady had returned last night.

"Xiao Jin, the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If it's nothing serious, don't run around. Otherwise, I won't be able to see you during the New Year." Zi Shufen gave Sang Jin instructions while picking vegetables for her.

"Mom, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't go anywhere these two days." Sang Jin agreed readily.

Only then did she notice that the family had added several more servants, all of whom were responsible for cleaning the house.

"Come and eat more. You're growing up right now. Tomorrow is your birthday. Mommy made you a warm cape, but I don't know if you like it." Sang Jin's birthday fell on New Year's Eve, and every year they celebrated both the New Year and her birthday. Her family generally ignored her birthday.

The family split up this year, and Zi Shufen insisted on celebrating her daughter's birthday at home.

"Xiao Jin likes all the clothes made by mother." Although Sang Jin has not seen what the cloak looks like yet, it does not stop her from being filled with joy.

"You're such a sweet talker, kid. I'll give it to you tomorrow." Zi Shufen filled Sang Jin's bowl with vegetables before adding some to Sang Yu's. The two children were still growing, so they needed to eat more.

"Ah, ahhhh——" Sang Wang was held by Nanny Liu, dancing and gesticulating, as if to say that he also wanted his mother to pick vegetables.

"Little Sangwang, you must be unhappy because your mother didn't pick any vegetables for you." Sang Yu proudly took her bowl of rice and waved it in front of little Sangwang.

"Yiyi——" Little Sangwang roared and the saliva from the corner of his mouth couldn't help but flow down.

Perhaps it was because Sang Yu was shaking the bowl a little slower this time, little Sang Wang grabbed Sang Yu's bowl tightly with one hand and refused to let go.

Sang Yu didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting her brother.

"Let me show you off. Now you know how powerful our Xiaowang is." Sang Jin joked.

"Puchi—come, mommy, pick up some food for our Xiaowang." Zi Shufen couldn't help laughing, then picked up a piece of egg tofu for Sangwang.

Little Sangwang stopped when he saw his mother put some food into his bowl.

"Xiaowang is only half a year old, but he already knows how to compete with his brothers and sisters for his mother." Sangmu also scooped a small spoonful of egg custard for little Sangwang.

In addition to breastfeeding, little Sangwang would have extra soft dishes prepared by Grandma Wu every time the family had a meal, since the eldest wife of the Sang family had three children.

"Hahaha……"

The family had breakfast together happily. Sang Mu hurriedly prepared to go out.

"Dad, where are you going? Didn't mom say that it's New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow and I can't let you run around?" Sang Jin acted like a little shrew.

"I'm going to sort some books for our village library. It's not far away."

"The library? When did it happen?" Sang Jin felt that the village was developing too fast. With the addition of wood cultivators, the construction of houses was not as slow as that of ordinary people.

"It's right near our Shengdan Academy. The tallest three-story building is our village's library. It was only completed in the past two days." Sang Mu patiently explained to Sang Jin.

"Then put some more books in there." Sang Jin said, and then took out all the books from the treasure house of City Lord Yan that she had looted in the City Lord's Mansion. There were two boxes in total.

"So many. When did you buy them?"

"I just picked it up from a friend these two days. The thing his family has the most is books." Sang Jin lied.

"Master Mu also donated a lot of books before. I plan to divide the books in the library into two parts. The first floor will be ordinary books. The second and third floors will be used to store various exercises."
