Luo Jingting glanced at Li Ang deeply, clearly dissatisfied with his lack of knowledge. However, he did not blame him out loud. Instead, he said to the man behind him, "Mo Yang, you guys form a formation to guard the cave entrance. I'll go in and lure the King Kong Tiger out."
Before leaving, Luo Jingting sent a message to Li Moyang through his spiritual consciousness, asking him to keep an eye on Li Ang.
A second-level top-level demon beast was no joke, so Ling Tian and the other Qi-refining mining slaves had to be placed in an open space far away. Although there was no one to guard them, no one dared to escape. At their current speed, by the time Luo Jingting and the others reacted, they would be found in a few minutes, and by then there would be only one outcome.
Soon, an extremely creepy roar came from the other side of the cave. Ling Tian naturally probed over with his spiritual sense, only to see Luo Jingting covered in blood, breathing rapidly, and a trace of fear still lingering in the depths of his eyes.
A huge golden tiger was trapped in the formation nearby. The disciples of Danyang Sect were constantly attacking it. Unfortunately, apart from the attacks of Li Moyang and Li Ang, which could cause it a little damage, the attacks of others could only tickle the King Kong Tiger.
Even though King Kong Tiger was powerful, he was unable to break through the defensive formation formed by more than 30 people. The result was not difficult to guess.
Sure enough, more than an hour later, the King Kong Tiger slowly fell down. Li Moyang stepped forward and gave it a final blow, showing a hint of joy. He then took out a spiritual dagger and inserted it into the tiger's head. After some fiddling, he picked out an irregular white bead the size of a pigeon egg.
"Yes, a top-level second-level demon crystal plus its body, two hundred crystals in my hands."
"Brother, here you go."
Li Moyang handed over the beast crystal, but Luo Jingting didn't take it. He said, "My fellow apprentice brothers have worked hard. Moyang, go back to the Merit Hall and exchange these for spirit stones to distribute."
“Senior Brother…”
"It's decided. Hurry up and arrange for the mining. The Xingyi Sect will probably get suspicious soon. We'll have to retreat in five days at the latest. Keep a close eye on it these few days and speed up the process to maximize the profits."
"I understand, Senior Brother, but why doesn't the sect just take over? We are stronger than the Xingyi Sect in terms of power."
"Some things are more complicated than they seem. Okay, stop guessing and focus on your current tasks. You can help me dig. I'll be in charge, and 10% of the profits will belong to you."
"Brother is so awesome!!!"
Luo Jingting's words made all the disciples of Danyang Sect very excited. This was a huge opportunity. Although it was only a few days, at their speed, if they dug non-stop, they could at least dig one or two hundred spirit stones a day. A ten percent profit was more than ten spirit stones, which was the number that the sect received in a year.
After motivating the sect disciples, Luo Jingting followed suit and offered some inducements to the miners. Of course, the offer was not one-tenth of that, but three spirit stones a day made these people almost kneel down and kowtow in gratitude.
Ling Tian inside secretly praised their good tactics, but at the same time he felt sad for them, as this was a deadly pie.
"Okay, everyone, go in."
Leon led these miners in first. After a while, Luo Jingting set up a chain of magic arrays at the entrance of the cave and called on his fellow apprentices to follow.
When they arrived, Ling Tian and the others were already digging the mine wall with pickaxes.
Seeing them arrive, Leon stopped digging and walked over. "Brother Luo, it looks like this spirit stone mine is quite large. It should be a medium-sized mining area."
As he spoke, he took out the five low-grade spirit stones he had just dug up.
"Oh? It's actually a medium-sized mining area. Brother Li Ang has made great contributions this time. Very good. When I return, I will report to the sect leader and give you an extra Pei Yuan Dan. I believe that in the near future, Brother Li will be able to condense the Dan Fu and become a sect elder. Hahaha!"
"Thank you very much, Brother Luo, but let's just follow the agreement we agreed upon. What about those pills?"
"Oh, I'm so busy. I'm really sorry. Everything is here. Brother Leon, please check it."
Luo Jingting put on a harmless fake smile and threw a storage bag over.
Leon caught it quickly, took a few steps back, and then used his spiritual sense to probe in. After a moment, he put the storage bag into his space ring with a smile.
He bowed to Luo Jingting and said, "Since the transaction is over, I'll say goodbye, Brother Luo."
After saying that, Leon walked around very cautiously, then used his skills to leave quickly. As he left, Li Moyang looked at Luo Jingting and made a gesture of wiping his neck, but was stopped by Luo Jingting.
"It will be very useful in the future. If you can betray the sect once, you will definitely do it again. Let's go and join the excavation team."
Leon walked cautiously all the way, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he came out of the cave. He sensed the surroundings with his spiritual sense, and after making sure that no one was following him, he quickly went around to the other side of the cave. After a while, he entered a more hidden small cave a few miles away.
In a few breaths, Leon entered the end of the small cave. The appearance of several firefly beads made the narrow cave as bright as day. Unexpectedly, dozens of white and soft lights were flashing on the cave wall.
Seeing this, Leon smiled, "Hahaha," "Such a great opportunity, how could you guys take advantage of it? The spirit stones in this location are all medium-grade. We're going to make a fortune this time..."
In the mine on the other side, a group of hundreds of miners were digging in full swing. Due to the direction of the ore vein, hundreds of people had dispersed while digging. But seeing that a group of fellow apprentices were digging with great enthusiasm, Luo Jingting hesitated for a moment, and finally did not gather them together to disperse and watch over the miners, since he had the evidence in his hand anyway.
In a blink of an eye, three days had passed and the mine had become a complex maze with intricate roads. Only then did Luo Jingting realize the mistake he had made. It was true that everyone had returned as scheduled to hand in the spirit stones in the first two days, but on the third day, more than ten people were missing. This made him furious, but it was not easy to directly activate the control spiritual energy hidden in these miners, so he had to go in and find them out himself to set an example.
There was a small fork in the road at a very deep place, and the connection with other people was completely lost. Ling Tian didn't know how far he had dug, but it was definitely the farthest one, because he used the spiritual treasure Fengming Sword to dig. Although it could not be used, it was very easy to use it to cut ore.
Ling Tian had set up a double illusion trap outside this small fork in the road. Even Luo Jingting's spiritual power was not strong enough to see through it. Even if he did, he would not be able to break in. He had invested heavily, using five high-grade spirit stones for the center of the array, which was equivalent to 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. This number was huge. As long as their spiritual power was not exhausted, they would have no chance of getting in.
As for whether it can be earned back?
Not only did he not make any profit from Ling Tian, but he also spent a huge amount of money to set up two formations?
You see, Ling Tian cut out several hundred kilograms of ore with one sword strike. He didn't know how many spirit stones were contained in it, but he must have a few. There was also a good chance of getting medium-grade spirit stones, which would be a big profit. Now he just dug and threw it into the space to work on it slowly.
