"Honey, you’ve really had it tough before!"
"I haven’t had it tough at all. Don’t forget, aside from my seniority, I’m also the strongest. No matter which faction within the sects, they only want to recruit , not oppose ." And as long as she firmly stood by the Sect Leader, nothing would happen.
"This is what they call ’might makes right’!" Jiang Nuo sighed, realizing once again how this world defines the word "strength."
Since his wife was strong and had high seniority, as long as the power struggles within the sects didn’t affect the future developnt of the sect, they couldn’t involve her at all.
He felt a bit lucky; thank goodness his wife was strong. Otherwise!
At this mont, Jiang Nuo did not know, he was rejoicing a bit too early. When the news of Mu Qiuniang forming a Nascent Soul spread, so things would no longer be hidden...
"Here we are!"
As the little golden dragon suddenly drilled into a wall, Mu Qiuniang said.
"Honey, I haven’t learned the Wall-penetrating Technique yet!" Jiang Nuo was worried when he saw that they needed to go through a wall.
Was he supposed to wait for his wife outside? He didn’t want to be away from her for even a second, truly.
"No need! This is an Illusion Technique!" Mu Qiuniang chanted a mantra and touched Jiang Nuo’s forehead.
Suddenly, Jiang Nuo’s vision changed. A cave appeared on the wall, exactly where the little golden dragon had vanished.
Jiang Nuo: "..." Such a trick!
Mu Qiuniang maneuvered the Divine Pen and entered the cave, twisting and turning, with many forks in the path. The illusions were reborn—so many temptations like beautiful won and mountains of treasures could stop soone midway.
But Mu Qiuniang ignored them all, steadily progressing forward.
Finally, they reached a place resembling a room—stone table, stone chairs, stone bed; on the stone table was even a stone-carved tea set.
"Honey, where is the Spirit Vein?" Jiang Nuo asked.
Mu Qiuniang’s gaze fell beside the lake. The lake, just about a hundred square ters, seemingly man-carved, with so ordinary aquatic plants and swimming fish, showed no unusual features.
But her intuition told her—that there, was sothing she wanted.
"In a while, hold your breath for a bit!"
"Huh?"
Half-dazed, Jiang Nuo was taken underwater by Mu Qiuniang. Fortunately, when they went underwater, Mu Qiuniang cast a spell, enveloping them in a giant water bubble, ensuring smooth breathing; otherwise, Jiang Nuo would have choked on water.
"Honey, are we going to the bottom of the lake?"
"Yes!"
Mu Qiuniang affird, searching around, and indeed found traces of the little golden dragon in the water, signaling her to continue following.
Looking at the not-so-big lake, the depths were surprisingly alarming. A seemingly unremarkable patch of aquatic plants emitted a burst of golden light when the little golden dragon swam over and disappeared among them.
"Honey, it disappeared!"
"Let’s go, that’s the spot!" Mu Qiuniang reacted quickly, swimming towards where the golden light vanished.
The two of them seed to pass through an invisible barrier, and though they were underwater, they found themselves in a cave.
Inside the cave, there were beautiful prismatic crystals—so growing out of the ground, so erging from the walls, and so hanging from the ceiling—all around them, everywhere.
Standing among them, they could even feel a faint chill, a sign of the overflowing spiritual energy.
"Wow?! The spiritual energy here is so strong?!" Jiang Nuo exclaid.
It was his first ti seeing a place with such abundant spiritual energy; taking a deep breath in felt almost like a rush.
"Honey, these are Spirit Stones, right? Look, such a big piece. If we mined them all, how many years would they last us?"
"Yes!" Mu Qiuniang pointed to a colored one and said, "These colored ones are Advanced Spirit Stones—the prettier the color, the purer the essence."
"These colored ones are really beautiful! Honey, can they be made into diamond rings? I feel they’re prettier than the diamonds sold outside."
"They can, but you must first learn Artifact Refining. Spirit Stones can’t be cut using ordinary thods!"
"I must learn Artifact Refining!" Just to craft a spirit stone diamond ring for his wife, he must learn it.
Imagining the day when all ten of his wife’s fingers wore Divine Artifacts crafted by him, he felt incredible.
Mu Qiuniang took out two "spirit stone hoes" from her space, handing one each, letting the couple begin their busy work of mining Spirit Stones.
Moreover, they only picked the colored ones, leaving the uncolored ones to continue growing.
As they mined, Jiang Nuo said, "Isn’t it said that the spiritual energy in this world is scarce? Yet there’s such a large Spiritual Ore deposit, it’s really surprising!"
"Perhaps my Master used so secret technique left behind? It seems it’s still a growing type. Let’s not hurt its roots, let it continue to grow, maybe soday another lucky person will encounter it."
"Honey, I rember reading in ancient texts about so array that can promote the growth of Spiritual Ores, do you know it?"
Mu Qiuniang shook her head: "I’m not good with arrays. You have talent in this area, if you think it’s useful, you set one up then."
"Hehehe... Honey, you’re really kind!"
Mu Qiuniang laughed. She wasn’t being kind, but accumulating blessings! Although enemies should be eliminated, in being kind to others, leaving a little room for others where possible is good.
Heaven is fair!
Whatever you give to others, perhaps, others can also return sothing to you.
While digging, Jiang Nuo found ti to run to Mu Qiuniang and steal a kiss.
Mu Qiuniang glared at him: "Get back to work!"
"I am working hard, honey. Don’t you feel working non-stop is tiring? I’m just creating so romance for us, so we work with more motivation."
Mu Qiuniang was left speechless.
With Jiang Nuo’s occasional antics, Mu Qiuniang indeed found the digging of Spirit Stones less monotonous, adding a bit of fun.
While she was engrossed in the work, Jiang Nuo suddenly let out a scream: "Ah..."
"What happened?" Mu Qiuniang was startled.
"Honey, sothing just drilled into my body!" Jiang Nuo directly threw the "spirit stone hoe" to the ground, pointing at his chest, looking shocked.
"Stop joking, and get back to work!" Seeing him stand unhard in front of her, Mu Qiuniang thought he was teasing her again, shot him a nonchalant glance, and continued with her work.
"Honey, really, I’m not lying to you." Jiang Nuo, seeing she didn’t believe him, hurriedly approached, "Honey, it really did happen. Just now, sothing did burrow into my body, it was about that big, glowing in seven colors like a ball of light, suddenly appeared before and went into my body..."
He gestured before her, indicating sothing about the size of a fist.
Mu Qiuniang hesitantly looked up: "Why do I feel what you just described sounds sowhat like Spiritual Essence?"
