As the two grew closer, Chen Xianmiao's eyes would occasionally dart toward the spirit stones in the shadows, her face filled with greed.
As the acting leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, Xiao Feng's insight was unmatched by ordinary people.
The spirit stones that are dug up should not only be used to complete quests, but should also have other uses.
If he hadn't just arrived, he probably would have known the ulterior motives much earlier.
Seeing that Xiao Feng had no other questions, Chen Xianmiao looked at the ore inside and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
"No rush. Since I promised to give you the spirit stones, I definitely won't go back on my word. Now, answer this question, and you can take any spirit stones you want."
When she heard that Xiao Feng only had one question left, she took a deep breath and banished the worry from her heart.
"ask."
Have you ever heard of Zhao Yuwei?
"Zhao Yuwei?"
Upon hearing this person's name, Chen Xianmiao's spiritual power surged uncontrollably towards Xiao Feng's body.
At this moment, the guards at the door noticed something was wrong and all turned their eyes inward.
Xiao Feng glanced at their faces out of the corner of his eye, noticing their ulterior motives, and his tone became extremely cold: "If you continue to exert your spiritual power, guarding..."
Before he could finish speaking, the oppressive aura that Chen Xianmiao had just released was completely suppressed by her.
At this moment, the guards at the entrance had already arrived at the cave.
"Smack..."
The whip lashed fiercely against the mountain wall, the tone extremely ruthless: "Don't slack off. If you don't complete the task, we won't speak up for you."
Unwilling to suffer physical pain, Xiao Feng walked up to them with a sheepish grin and said, "I guarantee I'll dig out twenty baskets of spirit stones."
Seeing his sycophantic behavior, the guard had no intention of whipping him and went back outside to watch the others.
As soon as he left, Chen Xianmiao came to Xiao Feng's side with a gloomy face: "That bitch Zhao Yuwei is fine, she just submitted to Su Ruoxue."
The memory of Zhao Yuwei's deception with the Fusion Pill still lingered in her mind.
Little did they know, that pill was indeed a fusion pill.
However, the different properties of the fusion pills led her to mistakenly believe that the pill was fake.
Chen Xianmiao was in a very bad mood. She looked at Xiao Feng and said, "You just said that was the last question. I'm going in to get my spirit stones now."
Xiao Feng stepped aside, his tone extremely unfriendly: "You can only take the spirit stones within your mission's limit, you can't take more than that."
He was the only one whose task was to collect twenty boxes of spirit stones, while everyone else received ten boxes.
A moment later, Chen Xianmiao came out from inside, pulling a full ten baskets of spirit stones.
Seeing her walk into the mine, Xiao Feng looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Why...why don't you finish your mission and go home to rest earlier?"
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Chen Xianmiao sneered: "After all that talking, I'm kindly reminding you that it's best not to reveal your true strength to them."
In the Palace of Bliss, those assigned to the mines might not even be considered human in their eyes.
Don't assume they can go home and rest just because they handed in their mission early. What if the guards at the gate hear that they have the ability to hand in even more spirit stones?
The next day, they will be given plenty of tasks until they can no longer complete them.
Seeing Chen Xianmiao's serious expression, Xiao Feng continued walking into the mine.
As he watched Chen Xianmiao leave, he couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected that time on Blue Star would still be so merciful. This is the real Zhou Bapi."
Now, the sound of whips cracking can be heard constantly coming from the doorway.
Xiao Feng returned to the shadows, his palm leaking out strands of spiritual energy, which slammed into the mountain's belly.
"Bang..."
The sound was heard, and many spirit stones fell from the mountain.
Through his persistent efforts in collecting and placing the spirit stones in the baskets, he restored the quantity of spirit stones to twenty baskets.
As he looked at this scene, he nodded with a smile: "It seems I can rest here for a while."
Sleeping is definitely not an option; otherwise, if the guards find him sleeping inside, they might very well whip him severely.
After much thought, he sat cross-legged on the ground, letting the spiritual energy flow continuously into his body.
Before he knew it, he discovered that the spiritual energy inside the mine was extremely abundant.
Quietly opening his eyes, he looked at the surrounding mountain walls: "This... spirit stones can actually promote cultivation?"
He never expected such a good thing to happen; it now felt like discovering a new continent.
In an instant, he entered a meditative state again, greedily absorbing the power of the spiritual stones within the mountain.
This time, he didn't restrain himself, causing many spirit stones in the mine to shatter.
As luck would have it, these spiritual stones are the mainstays of the mountain.
As the spirit stones broke one after another, the entire mountain shook violently.
Inside the mine, Chen Xianmiao noticed the mine starting to shake violently, and her eyes widened suddenly: "What...what is going on?"
She had been mining here for quite some time and had never encountered anything so strange before.
Soon, she discovered that the spiritual energy within the spirit stone was continuously converging in one of the directions.
Judging from the direction of these spiritual energies, they are very likely to converge on one of the people.
"Could it be... that someone is cultivating?"
Inside the Palace of Bliss, no one dared to do such a thing, except for the newly arrived Xiao Feng, who was ignorant of the rules.
A moment later, she returned to the place where the spirit stones were hidden and found Xiao Feng sitting cross-legged there, with the spiritual energy from the surrounding spirit stones continuously flowing into his head.
When she saw this, her eyes widened in shock: "This... it can directly absorb the power of spirit stones without the aid of magic weapons?"
Having been in the Palace of Bliss for so long, she had never seen anyone use such an ability before, which broadened her horizons.
Just then, several huge rocks fell from the mountaintop and landed heavily in front of them.
"Bang..."
A wisp of white mist rippled out in front of them, attracting the attention of the guards at the entrance.
Meanwhile, some people who were slacking off in the mine were frantically trying to escape, their faces filled with fear: "Run! There's going to be a cave-in soon!"
The guards at the entrance observed the situation inside the mine, their eyes revealing not a trace of emotion.
It seems they didn't care about their own lives at all.
Otherwise, they would have no reason to show such cold-blooded and ruthless expressions, since if they attacked at the same time, there was a chance that the people inside could escape.
"Bang..."
Another huge rock fell from the sky. Chen Xianmiao looked at Xiao Feng and frowned slightly.
Knowing her personality, she would definitely turn around and leave, and wouldn't linger here.
However, she knew that Xiao Feng had the ability to quickly mine spirit stones.
With him here, I can definitely complete my tasks every day and avoid a lot of physical pain.
After thinking it over, Chen Xianmiao risked coming to Xiao Feng's side: "Wake up, the mine is about to collapse, let's get out of here quickly."
