Chapter 117
Soon, the person sent by the supervisor
Cheng Hui had no intention of interfering with the supervisor. He hid himself quietly and kept his eyes on the team leader and the monk.
Soon, the people sent by the supervisor came back, and things were not beyond Cheng Hui's expectations. Since the cultivator dared to attack in the territory of the Corpse Puppet Sect, he must have been well prepared. After those people went down, they did not find any traces, so they could only conclude that it was an accident.
Although the supervisor was somewhat surprised by the result, he handled the situation in an orderly manner and quickly appeased the group of wandering cultivators.
Except for those two unlucky guys, the injuries of the others were neither light nor serious. In the world of cultivation, anything that can be solved with a pill is not a big deal.
After some treatment, the injuries of these people were basically healed. The supervisor also promised to compensate them with a sum of spirit stones, which made these casual cultivators feel very satisfied.
After what happened before, although the independent cultivators were appeased, they were still somewhat afraid and refused to continue mining.
The supervisor was also very generous and directly returned the spirit stones they had paid.
After everyone left, only a few people stayed.
Cheng Hui noticed that the team leader had originally wanted to leave, but was persuaded by the wandering cultivator. He thought for a moment, walked over, and smiled innocently, "Team Leader, if you don't leave, will you still go mining? Can you take me with you?"
He also realized that this team leader looked a bit wretched and had a slippery personality, but he was definitely not a bad person. At least from what those casual cultivators said, this person's reputation was unexpectedly good.
"Ah?" The team leader didn't seem to expect that there would be other people staying besides him, but he didn't refuse.
After all, they had experienced a disaster together. When they came out of the mine before, he saw Cheng Hui taking the initiative to help some seriously injured cultivators, which left a good impression on him.
"Okay."
The team leader agreed. He originally wanted to leave, but the cultivator just now discussed with him that his family had encountered some difficulties and urgently needed spirit stones. He was willing to pay the price of handing over two spirit stones for every ten spirit stones, and hoped that the team leader would wait for him to find an area with richer minerals.
The team leader had been having some problems at home recently, and the monk's words really touched his heart.
It just so happened that the monk was willing to raise the price, so he was naturally happy to charge an extra copy.
Now Cheng Hui also showed great interest. The team leader thought about it and agreed.
The monk also had a companion, who was a big and strong man. Judging from his physique, he might be a physical cultivator. In comparison, physical cultivators obviously have more advantages in terms of physical fitness.
The team leader couldn't tell what level Cheng Hui was at, but he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, so it didn't matter that Cheng Hui was higher than him. After all, it was impossible for someone with exceptional strength to come here to mine, and since this was the territory of the Corpse Puppet Sect, he wasn't really worried about being in danger.
However... the captain didn't know that for some desperate criminals, the deterrent power of the Corpse Puppet Sect was not that great.
It was obvious that the two monks did not want to see Cheng Hui joining, but they had no choice for the time being. They could only exchange glances and decide to wait until they got there.
Cheng Hui deliberately maintained his cultivation at the level of Qi Refining Level 6. This level was neither high nor low, and was not particularly conspicuous in the mine, so it did not attract the attention of the two men at all.
So, the team leader took Cheng Hui and the other four people and quickly entered the mine again.
Cheng Hui maintained an inconspicuous style, did not say much, and followed the leader silently, but in fact he did not forget to devote some attention to keep an eye on the two monks.
At this time, Cheng Hui's huge spiritual sense showed amazing effects. Not only could he eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people, he could even draw a map in his mind based on the direction of the nearby passages.
Cheng Hui: ...Check out the full 3D map!
It was precisely because of this cheating plug-in that he discovered that the team leader was actually leading them in circles.
Cheng Hui: ...
Emmm, it doesn’t seem that difficult to understand.
After all, the place the team leader is going to take them to next is the treasure land in his mind. How can he just take people there casually? Otherwise, if others write down the route, wouldn’t that be making things difficult for others?
The leader is so slick that he will definitely not do business that will lose money. So how can he ensure that his secret base will not be discovered by others?
Cheng Hui thought about it with great interest, and then he discovered the leader's little secret.
Cheng Hui touched his chin and thought to himself, I didn't realize this guy is so interesting.
If his spiritual sense was not strong enough and he had not been keeping an eye on the others, he might not have been able to discover the leader's secret.
However, now that he has discovered this secret, then what's next...
Cheng Hui quietly threw a few inconspicuous little things on the road, and soon those little things were kicked to certain specific places by him seemingly inadvertently.
After doing all this, he followed the leader quietly and continued to circle in the mine.
One had to admit that the team leader was indeed very smart and knew the situation in the mine like the back of his hand. He was clearly circling around several places, but the mine tunnel he chose was not the same each time, so that by now, the two people were almost dizzy and had completely lost their way.
After taking them around for several times, at a certain point, the team leader finally selected a new passage, and this passage obviously extended downwards. Cheng Hui knew that the main point was about to begin.
Sure enough, this time, the team leader did not continue to circle, but continued to go deeper along the mine tunnel. He also went around a few bends during the process, but generally he was going downwards in a fixed direction.
This treasure land in the captain's mind is obviously located at a very deep place, and no one knows how he discovered it.
The deeper you go, the fewer cultivators you'll encounter along the way. This spiritual stone mine isn't particularly rich, and there's no such thing as better quality ore the deeper you dig underground. Therefore, everyone tends to mine closer to the surface to avoid wasting too much time on the journey.
It was because the team leader seized this opportunity that he chose to go deeper alone and eventually discovered that Feng Shui treasure land.
"How long will it take?" The burly man seemed a little impatient.
The mine tunnel was dark and silent, with almost no light except the light sources in their hands.
Walking for a long time in such an environment will cause great stress to people.
This can be seen from the fact that the two people were chatting at first but then became increasingly silent.
The burly physical cultivator had a rather irritated expression when he spoke. The cultivator next to him who took the initiative to persuade the team leader didn't show it, but one could tell from his eyes that he was in a bad mood.
The team leader chuckled, "Is that enough? This is just the beginning. Let me tell you, only those who endure hardships can become the best. If you want to dig up treasures that others can't, how can you do it without enduring some hardships?"
The strong man said angrily, "I have no problem enduring hardships, but can you at least tell us how long this journey will take?"
"It's almost there, we'll be there soon." The team leader looked relaxed and at ease.
The strong man wanted to say something, but was stopped by his companions. He could only say: "Hurry up, then."
The team leader chuckled and continued to lead the way.
Cheng Hui continued to follow inconspicuously, not saying a word along the way. If he wasn't so tall and conspicuous, he doubted that these people would have forgotten him.
The team leader did not lie. After walking for about a cup of tea, his pace suddenly slowed down.
"Are we there yet?" the strong man asked anxiously.
"Yeah." The captain responded, and he reached out and pressed hard somewhere on the wall.
After a slight fluctuation of spiritual power, the wall under his palm turned into mud, revealing a deep and dark path.
"It's right inside..."
Before the captain could finish his words, he was pushed aside by the burly man, who rushed in. Although his companion was also very anxious, he was more cautious. He made a gesture of invitation to the captain, and only followed him quickly after the captain walked in at a leisurely pace.
Cheng Hui was clearly standing there, but was ignored by everyone. He didn't get angry. He looked at the passage that was shimmering with light and suddenly chuckled: "Interesting."
After saying that, he walked into the passage at a leisurely pace. However, before entering, he carefully looked around. After confirming something, he walked in step by step with somewhat awkward steps.
Not long after walking in, I saw the three people.
This passage doesn't extend too far, and at the end is a small mine that has been opened up.
Here, there are no milky white spirit stones on the surrounding walls, but instead some dark red minerals are visible from the corners of the soil on the walls.
"It's Dark Spirit Sandalwood Stone! It's really Dark Spirit Sandalwood Stone!" the strong man said in surprise.
The monk also ran over, picked up the pickaxe and started digging at the wall. Soon, the two of them dug out a piece of dark red ore, and they were very excited holding it in their hands.
"Dark Spirit Sandalwood Stone? What is that? Isn't this a Dark Spirit Light Stone?" The team leader looked puzzled.
"Hahaha, idiot! What Dark Spirit Light Stone? This is clearly Dark Spirit Sandalwood Stone!" The burly man was ecstatic and looked at the leader with disdain: "You ignorant idiot, only a bunch of you casual cultivators would be stupid enough to confuse Dark Spirit Light Stone with Dark Spirit Sandalwood Stone!"
The cultivator glared at the burly man and said, "Why waste your time talking to him? Quickly get rid of them both, or they won't be discovered by the Corpse Puppet Sect."
The burly man picked up an axe and walked towards the team leader and Cheng Hui with a stern grin. "Don't blame me, blame your bad luck. A treasure like the Dark Spirit Sandalwood Stone is like throwing a pearl into the dark when it falls into your hands. It's better to give it to us brothers! Come on, I'll give you a ride!"
After he finished speaking, the axe in his hand suddenly drew a strange arc and chopped towards the necks of the team leader and Cheng Hui, apparently intending to kill two birds with one stone.
More importantly, the aura of the burly man changed the moment he made his move, breaking through from the third level of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment stage. It was obvious that he had been hiding his cultivation level before.
Cheng Hui didn't plan to fight back - although with his current physical strength, the axe might not even be able to cut through his skin, but as a person, one should not be too arrogant. Making a fortune in a low-key manner is more in line with his character.
He dodged the attack by moving to the side, and at the same time grabbed the leader to save his life.
Unexpectedly, the pull went in vain. Immediately afterwards, the axe-wielding brute was seen returning the same way he had come. He flew backwards through the air, slammed into the wall with a thud, and slowly slid to the ground.
Cheng Hui: ???
No...what happened just now?
