"Damn it! Who are you?"
Looking at Gu Yuan and Chi Yuer who walked in from outside, everyone inside asked angrily.
"What happened that's causing all the yelling?"
At this moment, another person came out from inside, but the words in his mouth suddenly stopped.
"Elder! Someone has trespassed into our sect's important territory!"
Seeing that man coming out, those people saluted him one after another.
“It’s… it’s you!”
Chi Yuer looked at the man who came out, with a hint of amusement on the corner of his mouth.
"Tsk, you actually recognized me. If I remember correctly, you should be someone close to that great elder, right?" Chi Yuer said.
Seeing that the person coming was Chi Yuer, the elder broke out in a sweat.
"Elder, these two people actually dared to intrude into our sect's important territory. Should we kill them?"
However, some people had never seen Chi Yuer and had no idea of her identity, so they said one after another.
The elder's mouth twitched wildly. Are you talking like a human being?
“Bang!”
A slap hit the man who spoke hard on the face. The elder was almost crying, "Shut up!"
Gu Yuan couldn't help but find it a little funny. It seemed that this guy had realized the seriousness of the matter.
"This... sir! I didn't know it was you who came. Please forgive me!"
The elder knelt down immediately, trembling all over. The others were shocked to see the elder kneeling down, and then they knelt down as well. It seemed that they had guessed who the important person in front of them was.
"Tsk tsk, elder, I wonder what on earth you are doing underground?" Chi Yuer asked with a smile.
"My Lord, it's nothing. It's just that... our Fire Cloud Sect was destroyed, and we have nowhere to go. We have also provoked many enemies, so we are hiding here! Don't you agree?"
The elder said hurriedly with his head down.
"Yeah yeah!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Alas, it seems that you really think we are fools?"
Chi Yuer's face gradually turned cold, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a spirit stone vein here. I wonder if I'm right?"
"this……"
The elder lowered his head, his face pale.
Chi Yuer sneered, threw out a stream of spiritual energy from his hand, and then took the space ring from the elder's hand.
Although the elder was unwilling, he still did not dare to resist under the intimidation of Chi Yuer.
The soul power invaded the space ring directly with overwhelming force. Chi Yuer raised her eyebrows. In the ring, crystal clear crystal stones piled up into small hills, emitting rich spiritual energy.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I told you, it is indeed a spirit stone vein. But it's a pity that the spirit stones you put into the ring are all the lowest grade and inferior spirit stones. Could it be that my estimation was wrong?" Chi Yuer asked lightly.
Listening to Chi Yu'er's words, Gu Yuan showed an excited smile on his face, "Yu'er, is this really a spirit stone vein?"
Chi Yuer nodded and said, "Yes, it's the mine in the Spiritual Field. There are quite a few excavated Spiritual Stones in this ring, but they are all low-grade Spiritual Stones. They are far inferior in color and energy!"
"Ah, it's better to have something than nothing! You're just too picky!"
Gu Yuan didn't mind the low-grade spirit stones. For him, spirit stones were better than nothing!
"Hehe, Brother Gu Yuan is right. These low-grade spirit stones are perfect for you, Brother Gu Yuan, to practice. They are just right for you!" Chi Yuer said with a smile.
Gu Yuan felt warm in his heart. This girl was always thinking about him.
"What should we do with these people? We can't let them out easily, otherwise it will be bad if the news spreads! It will only cause unnecessary trouble." Gu Yuan asked with a frown.
"Of course I have a way to do this."
Chi Yu'er looked at the elder and asked, "Let me ask you, how much of the mineral veins below have been excavated?"
"Reply... Reply, sir, I didn't know about this... spirit stone vein. I suddenly discovered it after the battle that day, so I brought the dozen or so people who hadn't left to dig it up. The spirit stones we dug out are all in the space ring. There are still some left. Aside from using some to replenish my own spiritual energy, I haven't used the rest at all!"
The elder's face was filled with heartache, because in his opinion, not only did he not have any spirit stones left, he might even lose his life!
"Brother Gu Yuan, do you have any plans? Do you want to keep these people or not?" Chi Yuer suddenly asked.
"Please spare us, sir! Don't kill us!" Dozens of people begged for mercy.
Gu Yuan touched his chin and said, "I'm wondering if we should keep them here."
"Leave them here? Brother Gu Yuan, they are all stronger than you. Since we have discovered this spirit stone vein, these things are yours. Aren't you really afraid that they will leak the news?" Chi Yuer said with a frown.
"Give it all...to me?"
Gu Yuan was slightly stunned, then looked at Chi Yuer in shock.
Chi Yu'er tilted her head and looked at Gu Yuan, asking, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said? Do you still want to leave these things to them?"
Chi Yuer pointed at the people kneeling on the ground and said.
"No...no! I mean you don't want it?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Hehe, isn't mine Brother Gu Yuan's? Why do we have to make such clear distinctions?" Chi Yuer smiled with her eyes narrowed.
"Forehead……"
Gu Yuan scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
"How about this? These people stay. The ore veins here need to be developed and mined anyway, and they always need manpower."
After thinking about it, Gu Yuan said.
"Yes, yes! This young master is right. Sir, we are willing to stay and serve you. We can help you dig for spiritual stone veins. We only ask that you show mercy and don't kill us!"
Seeing Gu Yuan say this, the elder was very perceptive and directly pleaded with Chi Yuer.
Gu Yuan couldn't help but laugh. This guy is quite smooth.
"I'll listen to Brother Gu Yuan. Whatever you say is what it goes." Chi Yuer said with a smile.
"Well! I think you can set up a barrier outside to prevent them from going out. Otherwise, the existence of this spirit stone vein will probably cause some trouble." Gu Yuan said.
"This is also a good idea." Chi Yuer agreed.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Gu Yuan looked at the elder kneeling on the ground and asked.
Seeing that Gu Yuan and Chi Yu'er no longer mentioned killing them, the elder was overjoyed and hurriedly replied, "My lord, I am Zhang Youzhi, an ordinary elder of the Huoyun Sect."
"Zhang Youzhi, um, good name."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Zhang Youzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He was a powerful spiritual master at the peak of his power, but now he had to bow down to a spiritual master.
