"A vein?"
Chi Yuer raised his eyebrows and repeated in a low voice.
"Brother Gu Yuan, your words seem to remind me!"
Chi Yuer lowered his head and looked at the traces of fresh soil on the ground and smiled.
"Could it be that there really is a mineral vein here, and someone is mining it?" Gu Yuan asked in surprise.
"I said before that I felt the presence of energy, but I didn't know what it was. Now I am almost sure."
A smile suddenly appeared on Chi Yu'er's face. "If I'm not mistaken, there might be a spiritual stone vein underground!"
"A spirit stone vein? Oh my god, wouldn't that mean I'd make a fortune?" Gu Yuan became excited. If it really was a spirit stone vein, wouldn't he be rich?
"Spirit stone veins are very special. Without special conditions, they cannot form. Moreover, because of the concentrated energy in the spirit stone veins, they produce a special natural energy barrier. This natural barrier cannot block spiritual energy, but it can block the exploration of soul power. So I think this is why I couldn't find out what it was just now. Now that I think about it, it must be because there are spirit stone veins here. And it can even block my soul power. I think there may even be top-grade spirit stones!"
Speaking of this, even Chi Yuer was a little moved.
Spirit stones are the hard currency in the Central Region. Gold coins and the like are worthless. Even eating in the Central Region requires paying with spirit stones.
There are four grades of spirit stones: low-grade spirit stones, medium-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones.
The first three are worth one hundred each, but the best-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one thousand high-grade spirit stones. This shows how valuable the best-grade spirit stones are.
"Tsk tsk tsk, a top-grade spirit stone. Hahaha, this trip was not in vain. I didn't expect to encounter such an opportunity!" Gu Yuan laughed excitedly.
"Brother Gu Yuan, let's go. There is nothing in there that can threaten us. Now these things belong to us!" Chi Yuer said with a smile.
Spirit stones are not only hard currency, but are also used for cultivation because they contain huge amounts of spiritual energy. No one would think they are too little, not even a common person.
Gu Yuan said jokingly, "I didn't expect you to be so domineering, Yu'er!"
"Hehe, spirit stones are indispensable to us. It just so happens that I don't have many spirit stones on me, so I can replenish some this time." Chi Yuer said with a smile.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that I would really make a fortune this time. But I wonder if the treasure house of the Huoyun Sect is connected to this place?" Gu Yuan said doubtfully.
"Hehe, Brother Gu Yuan, this spiritual stone vein is enough for you to make a fortune. The treasure house and other things should have been divided up by those who stayed behind, so those things must be on them!" Chi Yuer said with a smile.
"That's right. If that's the case, we can't let those guys get away. Fish, this time it's all up to you! I'll make a fortune with you."
"Okay, Brother Gu Yuan! Let's go!"
Chi Yuer took the first step and walked inside. After a while, Gu Yuan saw a black iron gate standing in front of the dim space, with two teams of people standing beside it.
"Who?"
As soon as Gu Yuan and Chi Yuer stopped talking, the two teams noticed their presence and took defensive stances.
"Don't be nervous, we mean no harm!"
Gu Yuan looked at the two teams with a relaxed expression and said lightly.
"Spiritual Master? How dare a mere spiritual master intrude into the important territory of the Huoyun Sect? Come on, capture him!"
The leader waved his hand and looked at the two people coming, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
"Fish, come here!"
In order to save time, Gu Yuan had no intention of showing off and directly let Chi Yuer go up.
Chi Yu'er nodded, but didn't move at all. She just released a little of her breath and whispered, "Stay!"
As soon as one word was uttered, the two teams were frozen in place.
"You... who are you?"
The leader asked with a pale face as he looked at his subordinates who were directly controlled.
"It doesn't matter who we are. I want to ask you, is there anyone mining here?" Chi Yuer asked.
"have no idea!"
The leader gritted his teeth and replied directly.
"Don't know? Then there's no need for you to stay."
Chi Yuer had a blank expression on her face. A light purple flame flashed in her hand, and then the team leader turned into powder under Gu Yuan's shocked gaze.
Gu Yuan's mouth twitched. Is this the power of a Spirit Emperor? Just a slight movement of his hand can directly kill a powerful person close to the Spirit Lord!
Moreover, Gu Yuan just saw a light purple object floating by. At that moment, Gu Yuan felt that the red flame in his body was trembling slightly, as if it had encountered something terrible.
"What could that be?"
Gu Yuan thought secretly in his heart.
Seeing their leader turned into powder before they could even say a few words, everyone outside the door began to tremble.
"Did you see it? This is the consequence of not telling anyone. Of course, I don't need you to tell me now. I will go in and see it myself." Chi Yuer said lightly.
"Don't keep these people."
After thinking about it, Gu Yuan decided not to keep these people, because the matter of the mineral vein involved many aspects of things, and he could not be soft-hearted.
"Brother Gu Yuan, can't I see that you are quite decisive? Hehe."
Gu Yuan scratched his head and said, "If it weren't for the mineral vein incident, I would have kept these people here today, but unfortunately..."
The red flame in Gu Yuan's hand rose up. "It's a pity that they know things they shouldn't know. In this case, it's necessary to get rid of them. I never like to leave hidden dangers for myself!"
With a snap of his fingers, the blood-red flames directly covered the two teams present. Chi Yuer waved her hand and set up a barrier to isolate all the sounds. She did not feel any aversion to Gu Yuan's seemingly indifferent behavior.
On the contrary, she was happy for Gu Yuan's decisiveness. Born in a place like the Central Region, Chi Yuer understood very early that being soft-hearted would be fatal to herself.
After more than ten breaths, all those people stopped making any sound and turned into a pile of pale ashes.
A gust of wind blew by, and these people seemed as if they had never been in this world.
Gu Yuan looked at the large iron gate standing in front of him with an expressionless face and said, "Go in. These things don't belong to them anymore."
After pushing open the iron door, Gu Yuan and Chi Yuer were surprised to find that the space inside was actually wider and the light was brighter.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is an underground world!"
Just as Gu Yuan finished sighing, he saw more than a dozen people rushing out from inside. These people had some dirt on their faces and bodies, and their faces were filled with anger and suspicion.
