"Ah..." Qi Yanxuan sighed, "I'm just afraid that what we said might be heard by others and spread to A-Qing."

"What? You're talking like we have a shady relationship. We're brothers, so please don't hurt me. I'm already taken."

As he said this, he covered his chest with his hands, looking as if he would never obey.

Qi Yanxuan rolled his eyes speechlessly and slapped Lin Zi on the head to prevent him from saying anything more nonsense with his broken mouth.

"What are you thinking? My Ah Qing is much more handsome than you. How could I be attracted to you?"

Lin Zi dodged to the side, leaning his back against the wall. He grabbed a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, saying in a rude tone, "Hey—you can make a fuss, but personal attacks are not allowed! You don't know how to appreciate my charming figure, even if there are people who appreciate it."

Seeing the other party's nonsensical look, Qi Yanxuan helplessly held his forehead and said: "Okay, I know someone wants you. Stop talking nonsense and get down to business."

"I wanted to go to the mountains to practice, but A-Qing was worried. Coincidentally, the mountains are rich in resources and there must be a lot of metal mines.

By then, absorbing the gold element from it will definitely be more effective than using the crystal core to cultivate. Let's go together, and Qing won't have to worry about my safety. It's a win-win situation."

"Xuan Zi, you are not the one who is under the control of your husband?"

"I've said so much, but this is all you're focusing on? Didn't you hear me, or are you selectively deaf?"

Qi Yanxuan suddenly felt tired. Was this guy's focus shifted to outer space? Was there something wrong with his expression or was there something wrong with his ears?

Lin Zi seemed to realize that his focus had been diverted, and he immediately pretended to be serious as if nothing had happened.

"Ahem... I heard you. Let's go to the mountains to practice together! Okay, given our relationship, we can go whenever you say so."

"Then let's go tomorrow. You take care of your affairs and leave early in the morning."

After arranging this matter, Qi Yanxuan finally felt at ease to go back. He finally had an excuse to go out. If there weren't so many variables, he wouldn't want to be separated from his man for so long!

I really don't want to think about being apart for so long.

After returning and telling Shen Yanqing about the matter, Qi Yanxuan saw the man staring at him with resentment and grievance. It took Qi Yanxuan a lot of kisses and hugs to coax him into silence.

Shen Yanqing agreed so readily because he knew that it would be safer for Lin Zi to go with A Xuan with his strength than with himself.

I was originally worried that he might get hurt if he was careless while alone, but now that he has a companion, I can rest assured.

As for himself, it was the same for him to practice in the city and guard the rear, so Axuan could feel more at ease.

The next day.

The distant mountains are dark blue and the morning mist is hazy.

The sunlight shines on the tops of the leaves, emitting a faint blue light. The fine shadows penetrate the dense branches and leaves and fall everywhere in the forest, like blue fireflies, lighting up the slightly dim jungle.

Qi Yanxuan and Lin Zi were searching for the mineral vein as they walked. The dead branches under their feet squeaked from time to time, scaring the birds above their heads and making them flee in all directions.

As we went deeper, the number of birds gradually decreased and the surroundings became increasingly quiet. Only occasionally could we hear the roars of various animals coming from deep in the mountains.

The two soon came to a bare mountain. On the outside of the mountain, brass embedded in the rock was visible to the naked eye.

Lin Zi walked forward quickly, stroking the exposed brass excitedly, and turned to Qi Yanxuan with surprise:

"Xuan Zi! This is chalcopyrite! I can feel the richness of gold in it. It seems that the copper content is not low."

Qi Yanxuan, who was looking around, heard the voice and replied: "Yes, that's fine." Then he pointed to a place and said, "There is a cave over there. You can go in and practice. I'm in the woods next to it. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, be careful too!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yanxuan turned his back to the forest, waved his hand, and turned into lightning and disappeared in an instant.

He went to the forest and picked out the largest and thickest tree, and summoned the blood-sucking vine to release the wind.

Then he jumped up, took a few steps and came to a branch and sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to absorb the rich wood element in the forest.

The scattered wood elements gradually gathered and were absorbed as Qi Yanxuan's supernatural power was activated.

As time went on, the wood element around Qi Yanxuan became more and more dense, and a shimmering green light emanated from his body. This green light flickered with Qi Yanxuan's breathing, which was extremely beautiful...

Lin Zi came to the outside of the cave. The entrance was very large, about two people tall and three meters wide. After confirming that there was no living creature in the cave, he walked in slowly with a flashlight.

The cave was also very spacious, about a hundred square meters in size. The walls were uneven, and the brass exposed on the surface flashed with tiny lights in the dim cave.

Lin Zi looked around, sat down cross-legged on a relatively flat place, stretched himself, closed his eyes and began to absorb the gold elements in the cave.

As Lin Zi absorbed the gold, the gold element surged out from the surrounding cave walls, flashing golden spots in the cave, gradually gathering towards him and sinking into his body.

As the superpower surged, Lin Zi's entire body became covered in metal, becoming a body of iron and steel...

Yan'an City.

After Qi Yanxuan and Lin Zi left, the others also devoted themselves to the cultivation of supernatural powers.

Shen Yanshan went outside the city and used his earth-related abilities to turn over the land, which made planting easier for the people.

He couldn't absorb the nearby earth elements, so he had to find them elsewhere.

During the day, he reinforced the city walls and houses, then went to the clay-making area to play with the people in the mud. At night, he used the crystal core to practice, and the speed was much faster.

But when he went there again the next day, he was blocked by the people at the entrance of the clay production area.

The people cried and begged Shen Yanshan to stop and stop competing with them for work. If this continued, they would not have to work because all the work had been done by Shen Yanshan.

Shen Yanshan had no choice but to look elsewhere. He couldn't let the people go hungry because of him!

Wen Yu took Shen Wenxuan to the riverside to practice his special abilities. Not only did he master various skills, but he could also catch fish and shrimp to replenish food in the city and control water flow to irrigate the fields.

There was no place nearby suitable for Chu Han to practice, so he had to practice with the crystal core in his room.

Everyone else went to practice, so Shen Yanqing had to deal with the affairs of the city and guide those who had just awakened their superpowers.

Everyone else is fine, as superpowers generally don't cause harm to the outside world. Only Shen Youfu makes people feel troubled.

The dark green juice has no smell when it does not touch other things, but once the juice comes into contact with something, it will emit a pungent smell.

Shen Yanqing looked at the holes on the ground corroded by the venom, and then smelled the smell, and suddenly his head became dizzy.

Everyone spent every day thereafter practicing diligently; even Shen Yanqing used his nighttime sleep time for practice.

That day, bursts of icy air came from Chu Han's house.
