"Forget about spirit stones, this place itself is a feng shui treasure," Cao Jinchang exclaimed as he walked. "If one could live here forever, one would surely live to be a hundred years old."

“Didn’t you hear what Sister Feng Yao said? Great cultivators are all immortal,” Cao Xiaosi added.

Ji Fengyao and her group remained separated from the mutated beasts and the army of demonic beasts. They arrived at the mine tunnel that the other day had dug out, and soon they unearthed their first spirit stone of the day.

“In-law, this is the spirit stone, take a look.” Ji Chenhai casually handed the spirit stone to Cao Jinchang.

Cao Jinchang and Cao Xiaosi huddled together, looking at the white jade-like stone in their hands. They felt a cool touch and a sense of comfort as they held it.

"So the aura in this cave is the aura of spirit stones," Cao Xiaosi exclaimed in realization, sniffing twice as he turned his head to look at the lower left side of the mine that Ji Fengyao and the others were digging. He said, "Sister Fengyao, it seems like you're digging in a slightly off direction. The aura of spirit stones seems to be stronger down here."

"Aura?" Ji Fengyao was surprised and turned to look at Cao Xiaosi: "You can distinguish the aura below through the thick layer of soil?"

Cao Jinchang's father said with a smile, praising his son: "My son Xiao Si has no other strengths, but he is better than others at recognizing people and tracking them. The reason we were able to find our way here is because of Xiao Si's nose."

"So amazing!" Ji Chenhai was also amazed.

Shang Xiye tried to dig twice with his sword in the spot Cao Xiaosi pointed out, but apart from a lot of loose soil, he didn't dig up anything.

"Brother-in-law...please make it a little more down there," Cao Xiaosi said nervously, her face full of flattery.

Good heavens!

He never dreamed that one day he would be able to call the famous Great Zhao War God "brother-in-law." Just thinking about it is so exciting!

Shang Xiye: "..."

He tolerated Ji Fengming calling him brother-in-law, because his little wife was indeed his sister;

He tolerated Wang An calling him brother-in-law, after all, he was his father-in-law's adopted son.

Now, suddenly Cao Xiaosi appears, a brat who hasn't even grown up yet, and he actually calls him brother-in-law. He can't stand it no matter what!

"Say it again," Shang Xiye stood up and glared at him coldly.

The murderous aura emanating from Shang Xiye made Cao Xiaosi's knees go weak, and he almost knelt down immediately. He immediately cowered and said, "Your Highness, Ninth Prince, dig a little deeper. Those spirit stones are about a meter below."

Although he criticized Cao Xiaosi and refused to let Cao Xiaosi call him brother-in-law, he supported Cao Xiaosi's abilities and turned to everyone, saying, "Everyone, let's dig this way together."

So all the guards, including Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao, changed direction and began digging vigorously on the lower left side of the mine.

Upon seeing this, Cao Xiaosi was overjoyed:

This is the Ninth Prince!

The Ninth Prince actually believed him!

Seeing this, Cao Jinchang couldn't help but say to Ji Chenhai, "The Ninth Prince is indeed worthy of the title. He knows how to advance and retreat, has a clear mind, and trusts those he employs and doesn't employ those he doesn't trust. This is something that not every leader can do."

"There aren't many good people in the court, but Xiao Jiu is indeed quite good," Ji Chenhai said with a satisfied expression, his hands still busy mining with everyone else.

"I've got it!" Hu Ji suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone looked up.

Hu Ji was holding a milky-white stone about the size of a child's fist.

The stone was naturally hexagonal, with a dense interior like clouds and a smooth, mirror-like surface.

"A mid-grade spirit stone!" Ji Fengyao was overjoyed to see the stone: "This is a mid-grade spirit stone with extremely pure spiritual energy!"
