Ye Aotian suddenly said, "Yesterday Xiaoxi said that starting the flying boat requires spirit stones. Is this a type of spirit stone?"

Xiao Xi had never been to the cultivation world; all her spirit stones were given to her by her fifth brother. Spirit stones were simply divided into high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade.

Bei Chen also came over and examined the gemstone closely.

“I’ve never seen a spirit stone like this since ancient times. And when I saw the blue light emitted by this stone just now, I couldn’t sense any strong spiritual power. On the contrary, I can sense the spiritual power of other gemstone mines.”

Xiaoxi guessed that since Grandpa Cheng was able to find that gem mine, perhaps the most valuable thing was this yellow gem.

Xiaoxi, wearing leather gloves, pinched the gemstone, and surprisingly, with her force, she was able to change its original shape.

"I think it's not an ordinary gemstone; it must possess its own energy!"

Xiaoxi took out the robotic dog that her father had made for her; this robotic dog had batteries.

She removed the battery and then put a small spirit stone inside. The robot dog was, after all, a mechanical thing and had no spiritual power, so the spirit stone was of no use to the robot dog, which did not move at all.

Xiaoxi then took the yellow gem that had been kneaded into a cube and put it into the robot dog's battery compartment.

As soon as she closed the battery compartment door, she pressed the switch on the robot dog.

"Woof woof!" The robot dog came to life, wagging its tail and leaping up and down, it was incredibly cute.

Everyone present looked on with confusion and bewilderment, while Xiaoxi jumped up happily.

"I understand, this is an energy crystal!"

We've discovered energy crystals! No other minerals on Earth possess their own energy. How are these energy crystals formed? It's amazing!

Xiao Xi scanned her pouch again and found that such crystals only accounted for a quarter of the gem mine. Since the gem mine was large and plentiful, even this quarter was remarkable.

Ye Aotian said solemnly, "Xiaoxi, you must keep these energy crystals safe. Maybe the village was massacred because they were guarding the gem mine, and those evil forces just couldn't find it."

"Yes, don't worry, big brother, I'll keep it safe."

Ye Aotian was somewhat surprised. How did his sister become so obedient to him? Wasn't she always arguing with him before? She was such a nitpicker.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go! We need to get into town in an hour." We've already spent too much time in this small village.

However, the gains this time were quite significant; they acquired a great fortune on their very first stop.

As a result, Ye Aotian discovered that his subordinates seemed to be disobeying his orders, and most of them looked constipated.

Some people were still clutching the gemstones in their hands, longingly and reluctantly putting them down.

Xiao Xi smiled inwardly: Big brother, you don't understand. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it! Everyone was in so much danger searching for treasure and put in so much effort, why don't you share some of the benefits with them?

Once everyone has received a treasure, they'll work even harder! Otherwise, if everyone has touched a treasure but it's not theirs to claim, where will they get the energy?

Moreover, while the gemstone mine is valuable, the most essential element is the energy crystal.

"Brother, wait a minute. The brothers all put in a lot of effort. Let's distribute the gems among everyone."

Xiaoxi's words immediately caused an uproar, like a red-hot stone thrown into cold water.
