Seeing everyone rushing off to find the Purple Origin Crystal, Dongfang Yue looked at the calm Qin Feng and the other two and said helplessly:
"Aren't you worried at all? Three months isn't a long time."
Qin Feng smiled calmly, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's the use of being anxious? This depends on luck; hard work doesn't necessarily guarantee success."
Dongfang Yue looked anxious. "But we can't just wait here like this. This time, we've already staked 10% of the Dongfang family's assets in Ziyuan City!"
"Alright, let's start looking then." Qin Feng stopped teasing her and turned to Leng Yuexi and Ao Ling, asking, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Ao Ling rolled her eyes and said:
"The appearance of Purple Origin Crystals is random, and I don't have a better way to deal with it."
However, judging from what I saw earlier, the Lord of the Netherworld seemed quite confident. What do you all think about us following the people from the Netherworld Palace?
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yue's eyes lit up immediately. "That's right, Ling'er is right. I almost forgot about that. Following the people of Senluo Palace will definitely be beneficial."
Leng Yuexi shook her head and slowly said:
“What Ling’er said makes sense, but we’re not the only ones with this idea; others probably think the same way.”
When everyone gathers together, exploration will turn into competition, so going directly now is not the best option.
I suggest we search first, and then approach the people of the Senluo Palace. Even if they find something, the others won't let them get it easily.
Leng Yuexi's analysis made a lot of sense, and everyone was convinced.
Qin Feng smiled and asked, "Then what suggestions do you have? How should we begin our exploration?"
Leng Yuexi's eyes flashed, "The Purple Origin Crystals may not follow any pattern elsewhere, but you've forgotten that this is a world of decay, so there are definitely clues to follow."
Dongfang Yue was still completely bewildered.
Qin Feng and Ao Ling immediately understood after being reminded of this.
Looking at the expressions of the three people, Dongfang Yue was completely unaware of what was going on, and felt restless and anxious.
"Hey, you guys can't play like this, Sister Yuexi, you need to explain yourself clearly."
Leng Yuexi explained with a faint smile:
"It's actually very simple. You know that the Purple Origin Crystal contains the power of origin, which is actually caused by the leakage of the origin of this world."
In a ruined world, large fissures often appear, forming valleys. We just need to search in that direction, and we're sure to find something of great value.
Dongfang Yue understood now, and immediately beamed with joy, laughing heartily:
"Sister Yuexi knows more. If what you say is true, wouldn't we be rich? Our Dongfang family is bound to win this time."
Qin Feng interrupted her beautiful reverie.
"Don't get too excited yet. This is just our guess, and it's hard to say whether we'll find it in the end."
Furthermore, this pattern isn't necessarily something we're the only ones who know it. I think those people in the Senluo Palace have more or less grasped some of the pattern; otherwise, the Lord of the Senluo Palace wouldn't have proposed the bet.
Dongfang Yue's smile vanished, replaced by indignation. "That must be it. What a cunning person. We need to hurry."
Qin Feng nodded, and the group of four set off to search for the Great Rift Valley.
They flew at high speed and encountered many people searching blindly.
This is good news for them; if everyone knows the rules, the competition will definitely be more intense.
Before long, they arrived at a rift valley. The four of them began to search with great enthusiasm, but unfortunately, the result was not satisfactory. In the end, they only found three in such a large rift valley.
Three! The four of them can't even each have one. That's so sad.
Dongfang Yue looked dejected. "Sister Yuexi, your method doesn't seem to be working."
Seeing her half-dead state, Ao Ling said irritably:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Having a method is always better than having no method at all."
As Senior Dongfang said, we should be prepared to leave empty-handed. This is a good start; we've already made some progress.
Qin Feng also comforted him:
"Ling'er is right. Don't worry, we've already made progress in less than half a day. It's a good start. We still have three months to go."
Leng Yuexi reminded, "Let's keep going. This place is close to the entrance, and it's very likely that it has already been searched."
The four of them set off again.
On the other side, the people from Senluo Palace and Guanxuan Pavilion were together, and they noticed that there were quite a few people from other forces following them.
"Senior brother, this can't go on. These people are following us like flies, it's really annoying."
"Yeah, how can we start an operation like this? Even if we find it, they'll probably steal it."
"There's nothing we can do about it. The Palace Master made the bet so high-profile, so people are bound to be watching us."
"No need to rush. Let's search naturally first. They'll give up after a while. Things the Palace Master asked us to do can't be rushed."
So they began searching haphazardly, but their results were mediocre.
Those who had followed them gradually lost interest, and within half a day, most of the crowd had dispersed.
Two days later, seeing that they were still like this, some of the crowd dispersed, but the number was still considerable.
The people of the Senluo Palace felt that this would not do, and that continuing to delay like this was not a good thing.
The leader instructed, "Let's disperse and act in pairs. Wait for my signal to regroup."
Those who had followed them saw that they had broken up into smaller groups and dispersed, leaving very few people still paying attention to them.
...
Qin Feng arrived at another valley, quite a distance from their entrance.
They explored down from the high point of the rift valley and made a discovery at the valley entrance alone.
Dongfang Yue casually reached out and touched a stone, and to her surprise, she discovered that it was actually the Purple Source Crystal.
She was overjoyed and said with a grin:
"Sister Yuexi is right. We're going to be rich now. There must be a lot of Purple Origin Crystals in this rift."
Qin Feng, Ao Ling, and Yue Xi were equally pleased, as they had also discovered it.
This time, they had a great harvest, which proved that their deduction was correct and that the method of finding the valley was indeed feasible.
They wanted to collect as much as possible before anyone else noticed.
The four moved quickly, and within two hours they had completed exploring the Great Rift Valley, collecting a total of six hundred Purple Source Crystals.
This is definitely a huge success; I wonder if the last time, with 600 people, we had this many.
Without stopping for a moment, they headed straight for the next valley.
While most people have gained nothing, they have already amassed an incredible amount.
This achievement allowed them to temporarily overlook the Senluo Palace and also temporarily put the annoying Sima Jie out of their minds.
Little did they know, Sima Jie was doing the same thing with two members of the Sima family.
Sima Jie was also searching for valleys everywhere, and his results were not much worse than theirs. He had already found more than 500 Purple Source Crystals.
They both surprisingly found something that others would find difficult to obtain.
Sima Jie looked at the Purple Origin Crystal in his hand, his brows furrowed with barely concealed excitement. But then, as if struck by a sudden thought, his eyes flashed with a sinister glint.
