Lu Chen and Huang Qingtian both kept silent, silently mining the ore.
After a long ti,
until the sound of chains colliding had completely disappeared, they then slowed down.
"There isn’t even a single Spirit Stone."
Lu Chen chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.
"dium Grade Spirit Stones aren’t so easy to mine," Huang Qingtian simply sat down, the mining pick casually dropped aside, "Lu Dao isn’t anxious either."
"What’s there to be anxious about," Lu Chen continued to chuckle, "whether we mine more or less, it all goes to them anyway, and the booklet didn’t say we couldn’t rest."
"That’s true."
Huang Qingtian said, "I imagine Lu Dao has noticed sothing."
"Indeed, Huang Dao also noticed, so let’s not make it explicit."
The two seed to be speaking in riddles, but their minds were clear as mirrors.
With no specific mining tasks set, the existence of this vein might not be so simple.
Perhaps...
Was the vein not ant to provide dium Grade Spirit Stones for the Spirit Martial Sect?
Lu Chen knew more than Huang Qingtian.
There was another world inside that little hut.
Many at the Divinity Transformation Stage were inside, and Xu Wuwen, who was at the pinnacle of the late stage, was just one of them.
It wasn’t even certain that Lu Chen wouldn’t need to mine.
The two chatted sporadically, seemingly relaxed but growing increasingly heavy-hearted.
Unable to see through the true intentions of the Spirit Martial Sect, their desire to leave naturally seed even more difficult.
"Let’s keep digging, who knows, maybe we’ll dig ourselves a way out!"
After chatting for a while, Lu Chen stood up; to him, re mining didn’t consu much energy.
And for cultivators at their level, there was no need for food or drink.
"Then, let’s dig."
Huang Qingtian smiled and stood up, and the two continued to mine side by side.
The mine was dark as night, completely obscuring the passage of ti.
They kept digging forward, not caring whether they found any Spirit Stones.
Of course, digging a way out was just a joke.
And so, they dug for ten full days before they finally heard footsteps coming from behind.
"Did you manage to mine any Spirit Stones?"
It was the only Divinity Transformation Stage overseer in the mine!
"Yes."
Lu Chen took out several dium Grade Spirit Stones from his storage ring, "These were mined by the two of us together."
The overseer didn’t even look at them. With a casual sweep of his hand, the Spirit Stones vanished into thin air, naturally ending up inside his storage ring.
"Not bad, being able to dig up Spirit Stones in ten days. I’ll co again after another ten days."
With that, he disappeared on the spot like a ghost.
"It seems the interval is ten days."
Lu Chen touched his chin, saying.
"What if," Huang Qingtian said, "we didn’t dig up any Spirit Stones?"
Lu Chen thought for a mont and said, "To try a Divinity Transformation cultivator, you aren’t afraid of dying in case he isn’t lenient?"
"Lu Dao, we have to try, don’t we? Are we really going to dig here for a lifeti?"
Hearing this rhetorical question, Lu Chen laughed and so did Huang Qingtian.
They laughed for several breaths’ ti, then almost simultaneously went back to digging.
Another ten days later, they waited for the overseer to co.
"The Spirit Stones, hand them over."
The overseer’s face was expressionless.
Lu Chen feigned panic and said, "Overseer, it seems we had bad luck this ti, we didn’t dig any!"
"None?"
The overseer’s eyebrows raised, looking towards Huang Qingtian.
"Overseer, I didn’t dig any either."
The overseer’s face grew colder, his gaze sweeping continuously over the two.
Suddenly, he extended both hands, and the mine was filled with surging Spiritual Power!
Lu Chen and Huang Qingtian had no ti to react, their wrists seized by the overseer!
The formidable power made them helpless to move, let alone try to break free!
But they had already decided, unless their lives were at risk, to let the Divinity Transformation overseer do as he would!
After three breaths.
The overseer released his hands.
"If there aren’t any, then so be it. But rember, do not use Spirit Stones for cultivation!"
With that, he vanished in a flash, just like the last ti!
Lu Chen and Huang Qingtian exchanged glances, faintly guessing at sothing!
