"Tsk tsk tsk, you think too much. I won't give you the chance to become a ghost. Really, believe me, I will destroy you both physically and spiritually, and not even a trace of you will be left!" Gu Yuan said with a sneer.
After hearing Gu Yuan's words, everyone present, except the little witch, lost all color on their faces.
"Xiao Ba, let's deal with it!" Gu Yuan said lightly.
The little witch nodded slightly, and with a light clap of her hands, she bound the five people directly within the space. Then she clenched her palms lightly, and the space twisted, revealing patches of black void. Under the squeezing effect of the space, the few people did not even make a sound and turned into nothingness.
The little witch clapped her hands and said to Gu Yuan, "Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Why is there a fee?"
The little witch said as a matter of course: "What else? How about I work for you for free?"
Gu curled his lips, without any stinginess, and directly gave the ring that Zhang Youzhi had just handed to him to the little witch, saying: "There are almost 20,000 spirit stones left, and there is still one chance to make a move."
The little witch raised an eyebrow, took it directly, and after separating some of the spirit stones and putting them into her space ring, she said, "Next time, depending on my mood, I might charge more."
Then he returned the remaining spirit stones to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan could only smile bitterly at the remaining spirit stones.
"Zhang Youzhi, come here!"
Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Youzhi and said lightly.
Zhang Youzhi's body was trembling.
How could he not be afraid? Last time, a Spiritual Emperor came, and this time, another Spiritual Emperor came. He had never seen a Spiritual Emperor of this level before. He didn't expect that in just a few days, he would see two Spiritual Emperors face to face, and both of them killed people right in front of him!
"Mr. Gu...Mr. Gu, Senior Spiritual Emperor, I...I didn't do anything just now! Heaven and earth can bear witness to my feelings towards you! I have absolutely no hostility at all!" Zhang Youzhi said with a terrified look on his face.
"Just come over if I tell you to. I won't do anything to you!"
Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Youzhi speechlessly and said.
"ah?"
"What?! Just come here when I tell you to. Be quick, otherwise you will end up like those five people just now!" Gu Yuan said.
When Zhang Youzhi heard this, he quickly crawled and rolled to Gu Yuan, his body shaking.
Gu Yuan reached out and patted Zhang Youzhi on the shoulder, saying, "Zhang Youzhi, you performed well this time. I'm very happy!"
"It's my duty, it's my duty!" Zhang Youzhi said with a bitter face.
"Hey, that's not right. I know you're resentful of me. Yes, I know I'm just a mere spiritual master, and my cultivation isn't even as good as most of you. But I tell you, I'm lucky, so I have a powerful spiritual emperor by my side, and now the spiritual stone vein is mine!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Master Gu is right! Not only the spirit stone mine, but even we belong to you, Master!" Zhang Youzhi said hurriedly.
Gu Yuan laughed helplessly, patted Zhang Youzhi, and said, "Go to hell, you're not mine! Let me put it this way, don't feel uneasy or unfair. This is the reality, there's no way you can change it. I'm lucky, and luck is also part of strength, what do you think?"
Zhang Youzhi swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes! Master Gu is right!"
"The reason I let you stay here to mine spirit stones is, on the one hand, because you have experience in mining, and on the other hand, because I don't have anyone here to help me right now, so I'm leaving you here to mine the mineral veins. But I don't intend to let you stay here forever, so what I just said is true. As long as you do your job well, I won't treat you unfairly!"
The ring in Gu Yuan's hand flashed, and two jade bottles appeared in his hands.
When Zhang Youzhi saw this, his face turned pale again.
"Don't be nervous, this is not poison!"
Gu Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Here are the Marrow Cleansing Pills and the Body Strengthening Pills. Although you have all passed the best period for cleansing hair and marrow, they are still usable. I am giving them to you now, one Marrow Cleansing Pill and one Body Strengthening Pill for each of you. Even if they don't have any actual effect, they can at least remove some impurities from your body!"
"This... is this the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Body Strengthening Pill?"
Zhang Youzhi's eyes lit up slightly. He had seen quite a few of these pills in Huoyun Sect before, but he had never used them when he was young.
"That's right, and the pills I give you are of the best quality. It can be said that no one in the outside world can replicate its quality. Do you understand what I mean?" Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"It's so precious?"
"You'll know if it works for you if you try it yourself. This can be considered a reward for you. As I said before, do your job well and I won't treat you unfairly. But if you still have second thoughts, your fate will be even worse than those people just now. I hope you understand!"
"We will certainly keep this in mind! Thank you, Master Gu! We will definitely serve you from now on and be willing to serve you at your service!"
Zhang Youzhi bent down and said sincerely.
Gu Yuan helped him up and said with a smile: "You can just call me by my name from now on. There's no need to be so reserved."
"This... this is unacceptable. I'd better call you Master! From now on, we are willing to stay by your side and serve you wholeheartedly!"
"Okay! I feel relieved after hearing your words! Okay, you guys can go in. There must be a reasonable time arrangement for mining spirit stones. Don't be so anxious. I am not in a hurry to use the spirit stones. Now you are short of five people, so I should bring a group of people with you in a while. As long as the spirit stones here are mined, it will be up to you whether to leave or stay!" Gu Yuan said.
"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Youzhi said excitedly.
"Well, let's go first. I'll be back in three days."
After saying that, Gu Yuan and the little witch went straight back to the cave entrance.
"You're quite good at this game of one slap and one sweet date!"
The little witch looked at Gu Yuan and said.
Gu Yuan shook his head, a helpless look on his face, and said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm not like you, with such powerful strength that I can only rely on these techniques to control people. If I had your strength, I would just use force directly. Why would I need these?"
"From the looks of it, you seem to be planning to train your own team?" asked the little witch.
"I guess so. In this world, you can't do anything without some strength, but my strength is too low right now, so I'm just preparing for it temporarily. When I'm strong enough, I'll officially use these people."
"Well, we can prepare in advance." The little witch nodded.
