She waved her hand towards the shallow stream, and with a splash, a pile of rubble fell from the air and scattered in the stream.

Meng Tao stood there in a daze, looking confused.

Shen Yu immediately rushed over to support her: "Taotao? How do you feel, wife? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Meng Tao shook her head: "I'm fine. That... I can take the stone in and put it out again, but it was clearly a whole big stone that went in, how come it came out as a pile of broken pieces? And there's no jade?"

Shen Yu also frowned slightly, not understanding the reason.

"Try two more pieces!" Meng Tao said, and took in two more football-sized pieces of raw stones, still throwing them into the sea of ​​clouds in space.

After a while I recited it silently, but it was still a pile of rubble.

Meng Tao didn't believe it and tried a third time. He collected five raw stones in one breath, but the result was still the same. What he collected was a whole raw stone, but what he spit out was broken stones, and there was no trace of jade.

Meng Tao took out the raw stones that had been piled on the stone platform before, and they were intact, not broken, and exactly the same as the original ones.

In other words, everything on the stone platform was normal, except for those unknown ditches and bumps under the cloud sea, which were very abnormal.

This is strange, the same space, different reactions, how could this happen? Shen Yu patted Meng Tao's back comfortingly and told her not to try it, as it would consume her physical and mental energy.

Yes, his wife also has mental power. He had thought it was strange before, how could she not use it when she obviously had it? It turned out that it was not that she could not use it, but that her mental power was only enough to communicate with the mustard seed space, and could not do anything else.

Meng Tao was given some water and thornberries to drink and eat. She then added: "Are you sure these are raw stones containing jade? Are they just ordinary stones?"

"I can be sure that with my mental power, I can still feel the jade in the stone."

Shen Yu said: "We can smash two small stones and see. There is no one around now, so it doesn't matter if we make some noise."

"Okay, I'll do it." Meng Tao volunteered, she was very strong.

How could Shen Yu possibly trouble his own wife? He gently pushed her aside, picked up two slightly smaller raw stones, and smashed them with a hatchet.

It was surprisingly easy. After just two hits, the stone skin fell off, revealing a green area inside.

He then smashed five more pieces of raw stones, all of which revealed treasures. Without exception, the quality was very good, and they were all top-grade jadeite.

The two of them couldn't help but admire the man who selected the rough stones. What kind of magic hand is this? He picked up seven pieces at random and smashed them, and there were goods inside, and they were top-quality goods!

Meng Tao put the seven pieces of raw stones that Shen Yu had smashed into the space stone platform. After a while , she took them out. There was no change at all. The stone was still the same stone. Then she put seven pieces of raw stones back in and threw them into the sea of ​​clouds in the space. When they came out again, it was a pile of broken stones again! The two looked at each other. Shen Yu asked: "Are there other living things in the mustard seed space? Could it be that thing that ate the jade?"

Meng Tao was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly realized: "You are right, I understand! It is that sea of ​​clouds that ate the jade and spit out the dregs!"

I secretly thought: Could it be that the space can be upgraded? Will the stone platform be expanded?

Shen Yu didn't quite understand what she said: "Yun Hai, eat the jade?"

"There is a sea of ​​clouds in the space. I don't know what is under the sea of ​​clouds! When these raw stones are thrown into the sea of ​​clouds, the jade inside disappears. Isn't this obvious? Jade contains spiritual energy. The sea of ​​clouds is part of the space. It absorbs the jade. This means that the space needs the spiritual energy of the jade!"

Meng Tao frowned as she spoke: "But why weren't the raw stones on the stone platform absorbed? Oh, and the jewelry given by Grandma Xu also contained jadeite and a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets, which were not damaged even when placed on the stone platform... What's going on here? Such a small space is divided into different areas?"

Shen Yu roughly understood: "Although I don't fully understand, I have heard that people who practice Taoism try their best to search for natural treasures because they need elixirs to assist in their practice. Some formations and magic tools need to be carefully nurtured. So it's not surprising that your mustard seed space needs jade spiritual energy."

Meng Tao: "That's right, then, how about collecting all these raw stones?"

"No, just a move."

"Then keep it and nourish the space!"

"It's such a pity! They were all top-grade jadeite, worth a lot of money, and they're gone just like that!"

"No amount of money can buy treasures - come on, hurry up!"

They acted right away, and the two of them split up: Meng Tao walked along the shallow stream, feeling for stones left and right, while Shen Yu ran into the bushes, picked up the scattered raw stones and gathered them into a pile, so that Meng Tao could come over and touch them all.

After working for more than an hour, they had finally collected all the raw stones at the bottom of the ravine.

Tian Zhiyuan, who was walking halfway, was not aware of this situation.

Meng Tao imagined that Tian Zhiyuan had finally found a place and worked hard to get down to the bottom of the ravine, only to see gravel and slag all over the ground, and maybe a few big black snakes waiting to welcome him...Hahaha, so funny! The two returned to the car, and Shen Yu did not turn around, but drove straight ahead.

Meng Tao asked: "Where are we going?"

Shen Yu: "There is also the second circle drawn on the picture, have you forgotten it?"

"That jade mine, didn't you say it was closed?"

"It is indeed closed, but since we are here, it is not a big deal to walk a few steps. There are guards there. If we meet someone who looks familiar, we can go into the mine and have a look."

Meng Tao thought about it for a moment and understood what he meant: "If there was a vein of minerals in the past, even if it has been excavated, there must be some jade spirit left, right?"

"clever."

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Since the space is needed and it's rare for us to come here, I plan to... you've worked hard these past few days, and you can have a good rest after you're done."

"I'm just an idler anyway, so that's your job?"

"It's arranged, no problem. You are a man who values ​​efficiency at work and can forget about sleep and food for work, but compared to your wife, work always comes second."

Well, whether it's true or not, I just like to hear it.

Meng Tao rewarded him with a flying kiss, and Shen Yu felt itchy: "This doesn't count, let's do it for real."

"No, drive carefully. Going downhill and turning. Did you see that? Don't flip me over!"

"…Just sit back and relax."

It was a journey of less than half an hour and we arrived in no time.

Shen Yu really guessed that the guard on duty was a "familiar-looking" person. Without Shen Yu saying anything, he let him and Meng Tao in to have a look.

Shen Yu drove a jeep into the mine because the area was so large that it would take him half a day to walk around it.
