The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 362 - 214: Become a Little Rich Woman?_2

Changtian laughed and criticized: "I’ve never seen a cultivator so indulgent in the pleasures of food and fun!" But there was nothing he could do about her.

As a result, she didn’t leave the house until si-shi (9 a.m.).

Above the ruins of Spring City, she lightly leaped into the same fissure in the ground as yesterday.

Feng Wuchou’s skeletal remains had already been buried by Tu Jin the previous day. The cultivator had died unhappily in the wilderness for hundreds of years and deserved a proper burial in the earth.

The fissure was long and deep. Changtian said, "It wasn’t convenient for you to explore yesterday with so many people around. But I have a feeling that there is something strange about this place."

He paused for a moment: "The Reincarnation Platform was sealed by Feng Wuchou. I’ve examined the seal myself. It was originally secure, not like it loosened naturally, but rather it was opened by an external force."

Her heart skipped a beat: "Someone opened the seal? Then why didn’t they take the mirror away?"

Changtian replied irritably, "Silly girl, why don’t you use your brain? The one who opened this seal might not necessarily be a human."

Ning Xiaoxian lowered her head and looked for a while before asking, "Is it this fissure?"

"Correct." He mused, "It seems that this area of the ground suddenly split open, accidentally breaking the seal on top of the Reincarnation Platform."

She nonchalantly said, "So it’s split, is there anything special about this place?"

He gravely said, "A Magic Artifact like the Reincarnation Platform requires a plentiful supply of spiritual energy to operate on its own. But its master is dead, so where would the mirror get its spiritual energy from?"

She followed his line of thought in bewilderment: "Where would it get that from?"

"..." He really wanted to drag her to the God Demon Prison and spank her again. Where had her cleverness in the Reincarnation gone? With him being the brainpower, this girl wouldn’t use her mind anymore.

"I deduce that there might be a spirit stone vein underground. I don’t know the exact amount, but it should be enough to supply the Reincarnation Platform for hundreds of years," he speculated.

Spirit Stone Vein!

Her mind raced, tallying the equation. Spirit Stones = Wealth = Endless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

She had only heard that the Great Sects of cultivators were entitled to possess spirit stone veins. Who would have thought that she would find one in the Ruined City?

"How to verify this?" Her voice was dry with excitement. She couldn’t help it, being overjoyed. In Huaxia, her greatest hobby was making money. People’s preferences do not change easily, and here, her greatest hobby became earning Spirit Stones. After all this time, she hadn’t earned more than 20,000 Spirit Stones.

Yet here, there might be a Spirit Stone Vein! She wasn’t hoping for an extraordinary reserve; becoming a little rich woman would be enough for her.

Changtian didn’t need to see her to know that she was once again gleaming with that bright, greenish light of Spirit Stones in her eyes. He coughed, pulling her out of her daydream: "I only said it’s a possibility. You go down the fissure." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The fissure was dark and seemingly bottomless, but she was fragile in appearance yet not easily pushed over, so like a large gecko, she clung to the rock face and descended. The fissure had been without outside visitors for hundreds of years, and as she made her way down, she stirred up countless insects; fortunately, she had applied an anti-insect and snake remedy.

After descending for fifty to sixty breaths, all she could see was darkness around her. Taking out glow grass, she realized she had reached the bottom. She slowly explored along the fissure, but found nothing.

Perhaps, the activation of the Reincarnation Platform was just an accident? She guessed silently, without voicing her thoughts.

The space underneath wasn’t large, and after searching for a while with the intent to give up, a flash of green light flickered from a crevice. She and Changtian exclaimed in unison, "Here!"

Ning Xiaoxian took out her Dagger Tusk and began digging swiftly. After only a couple of digs, a small hole was excavated in the fissure, and a lush green light shone through, incredibly bright and endearing.

Thanks to Changtian’s golden words, there really was a Spirit Stone Vein here!

Without waiting for his instruction, she chiseled the Spirit Stone out with two strikes. A standard-sized Spirit Stone was the size of the tip of a little finger, but this one was as big as a fist, equivalent to twenty standard units of Spirit Stones! Moreover, the color was a deep, vibrant jade green, which, if used to describe jade, would be considered of "excellent water head."

Like Earth’s ores, Spirit Stones vary in composition and this vein’s Spirit Stones were clearly of high quality, containing minimal impurities. If she could mine them, she would make a fortune.

God, you’ve finally shown me some favor, knowing that I’m poor, giving me this vein.

Just as she was engrossed with the Spirit Stone, Changtian poured cold water on her excitement: "Let’s not discuss the reserves of this vein for the moment; you won’t be able to mine it alone."

Instantly, she was at a loss. Indeed, how could she mine an entire vein by herself?

"Not only can you not mine it, but you mustn’t reveal its existence to anyone else." He spoke leisurely, enjoying her dilemma at this moment.

Yes, if others learned of the existence of this vein, the pile of Spirit Stones would no longer bear the surname Ning. She couldn’t mine them herself, nor could she invite others to do it, so what should she do?

"The Reincarnation Platform itself had set up a trap here, so others had not discovered this vein. Now that the mirror has been taken by you, this secret might not be secure anymore." The last bucket he poured wasn’t cold water, but ice water. Watching her distress was one of his greatest enjoyments, and although he couldn’t see her from the God Demon Prison, he could perfectly imagine her plight.

She was petrified again, not catching the faint amusement in his words. It seemed there was a risk of others discovering this vein.

"What should I do then?" she lamented. This kind of happiness within reach but untouchable was excruciating!

"Be good, set up an Array here. Leave it to be mined later." He had whet her appetite enough; it was time to offer her a solution, otherwise for the following months, she’d be lost and listless.
