Luo Han, who had entered the Purple Source Mine last time, unexpectedly discovered a place where Purple Source Crystals were gathered, and he informed his senior brother Chu Tian of this news.
Chu Tian led the people from Senluo Palace and Guanxuan Pavilion to the bottom of a large rift valley, where they discovered a large amount of Purple Origin Crystals.
Everyone was happily collecting Purple Essence Crystals, and they were all very excited.
There were too many cracks here, and the range of movement of the Xuanwu Guardian Array they formed was limited, so they called their fellow disciples to come.
People continued to arrive in the direction of the Great Rift Valley.
Although these people acted discreetly, they were still discovered by someone with ulterior motives. This person was none other than a member of the Sima family.
Sima Jie specifically instructed them to pay attention to the movements of the people from Senluo Hall and Guanxuan Pavilion, and to report any news immediately.
During this month, Sima Jie made a lot of progress. He led Sima Jun and Sima Jin to explore more than a dozen valleys and found nearly two thousand pieces of Purple Origin Crystals.
The two men admired Sima Jie to the point of complete awe.
"Young Master is truly amazing. He found so many Purple Origin Crystals on his first visit. This amount already exceeds the total of all the previous visitors."
"Yes, our Sima family is sure to win this time, haha. That Senluo Palace thought they had victory in their grasp, but now the young master has snatched it away."
The excitement and agitation of the two men did not affect Sima Jie. He remained calm and asked indifferently, "Has there been any news about Senluo Palace or Dongfang Yue recently?"
Just as Sima Jun was about to answer no, he received a message, and his eyes lit up after reading it.
Sima Jie noticed it too and ordered, "What news? Speak."
"Yes, young master. We just received news that people from the Senluo Palace and the Guanxuan Pavilion are all heading in the same direction. Strangely, their destination is a large rift valley," Sima Jun said respectfully.
Sima Jin frowned and said, "The Great Rift Valley? Young Master, do you think it's possible that they've also discovered something?"
Sima Jie's eyes flickered, and he slowly analyzed the situation:
"It doesn't seem likely. If they knew the pattern, they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of sending so many people to the same valley."
It's more like discovering a great treasure, then encountering some difficult problem, and gathering everyone together to solve it.
Both of them felt that their young master's analysis made sense, and couldn't help but ask for his opinion:
"Young Master, what should we do now? If they really discover a huge amount of Purple Origin Crystals, should we try to get a share?"
Sima Jie nodded slightly. "No rush. Have someone continue to follow and see if they find anything good. If it's really as I guessed, we'll definitely get involved."
"Young Master is wise," the two complimented.
Two hours later, more news arrived.
"Young Master, the people from Senluo Palace and Guanxuan Pavilion have indeed found a special place. The environment there is extremely harsh, with howling winds and a sense of deathly stillness."
The family members sensed the danger and dared not approach alone.
Those people were moving in large groups, but we're not sure what they discovered. Please give your orders, Young Master.
Sima Jie pondered for a moment, then murmured, "They gathered so many people, they must have really discovered something."
The two listened intently, but seeing that their young master was deep in thought, they dared not interrupt.
Sima Jie's mind raced as he came up with an idea. A ruthless glint flashed in his calm eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He instructed, "Go and spread this word, make sure that everyone in all the major powers knows about it."
Sima Jun and Sima Jin were both stunned upon hearing this. What kind of operation was this?
Sima Jin blurted out, asking incredulously:
"Young Master, are you serious? Won't everyone know this way?"
"Our opponents have now increased from two—the Senluo Palace and the Guanxuan Pavilion—to four. This is disadvantageous for us."
Sima Jie's calm eyes flashed with a cold light, sending chills down one's spine. He stared coldly at Sima Jin, "Are you questioning me?"
Sima Jin felt the chilling aura emanating from the man and couldn't help but shiver. "Sima Jin dares not. Please reconsider, young master."
Sima Jie's expression was cold and stern as he gave the order in an unquestionable manner: "Do as I say. My arrangements have their reasons, and you will understand them afterward."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Sima Jun quickly tried to smooth things over, "Young Master, don't be angry. A-Jin just didn't realize what was happening, he wasn't questioning you."
Sima Jin recalled Sima Jie's various achievements over the years, as well as the enormous gains made during this trip to the Ziyuan mining area.
He felt he had been too impulsive and felt guilty for questioning Sima Jie.
"I'm sorry, young master. I was rash. I'll take care of it right away."
Seeing this, Sima Jie's expression softened. "It's alright. As the young master, I'm under a lot of pressure. My attitude was bad just now, please bear with me."
The atmosphere immediately improved.
Sima Jie's eyes flickered, and he specifically reminded him:
"You must remember to inform the Dongfang family and make sure Yue'er knows."
I have a feeling that this discovery of the Senluo Palace will be very fruitful; we absolutely cannot let her miss this opportunity.
“In the past, the Dongfang family always took care of us. Now that the young master is here, it’s our Sima family’s turn to guide the Dongfang family,” Sima Jun said excitedly.
"Young Master is still thinking of Dongfang Yue even at this time. He is so good to her. I believe that after this incident, she will understand Young Master's feelings," Sima Jin added.
Sima Jie's expression was calm, his eyes were deep, and he said indifferently, "Do as I say first, whether it will succeed or not is still uncertain."
"Yes." The two agreed, and then relayed the young master's order to the other members of the Sima family to carry it out.
