The Demon Sect disciples originally thought there would be no discoveries in these barren mountains, but unexpectedly, when they dug a dozen feet deep, a dazzling patch of white appeared before them, practically blinding their eyes.
“It’s spirit stones!”
“There’s a spirit mine here!!”
“Sect Master, Sect Master, we’ve struck spirit stones.”
“Holy Maiden Aunt was right.”
The Demon Sect disciples were thrilled and gripped their swords, digging even faster.
Even Mo Yuntian joined in and dug a few times. As chunks of spirit stones appeared before his eyes, he swallowed hard. There really were spirit stones, unbelievable.
Swallowing his saliva again, he urged, “Dig deeper and see how deep this mine goes.”
“Big Brother Mo, it’s not about how deep you dig,” Tang Guo reminded. “The important thing is to get all these spirit stones out within three days. If we take too long, others will come to snatch them.”
Mo Yuntian immediately nodded. “Yes, yes, we must dig them out quickly.”
Normally, he wouldn’t do such things, but this was his first time exclusively owning a mountain of spirit stones. He was so excited that he even forgot to post pictures in the group chat to show off.
Without hesitation, he drew his sword and joined the digging.
Tang Guo sat on a chair, sipping tea as she watched Mo Yuntian lead the Demon Sect disciples busily working. It was a bit like an elementary school teacher leading a group of students to clean up, with everyone being especially enthusiastic.
System: “What kind of ridiculous metaphor is this?”
Bai Wuqing observed everything from start to finish without showing the slightest reaction. Tang Guo wasn’t surprised. Bai Wuqing was just that kind of person. He was truly aloof, and such things simply couldn’t catch his attention.
After more than two days of labor, Mo Yuntian and his people had completely cleared out the rich spirit stone mine.
Once the digging was done, Tang Guo casually said, “The mountain’s interior is now hollowed out. It’s likely to collapse. Big Brother Mo, we’ve taken the resources from the mountain, but there are many small animals here. If the mountain collapses, they’ll lose their homes.”
Small animals?
The Demon Sect disciples looked confused. When they were digging for spirit stones, they hadn’t seen any small animals. The mountain was barren, what kind of animals would even be here?
But since Holy Maiden Aunt said there were small animals, then there must be small animals.
The Demon Sect disciples looked at Tang Guo with earnest seriousness, while Mo Yuntian was at a loss for words. This was embarrassing, they were acting like they’d never seen spirit stones before.
However, thinking of the bulging pouches now in their possession, he eagerly asked, “Sister, what should we do?”
“Aren’t there lots of scattered rocks nearby?” Tang Guo’s eyes glimmered with mischief. “Fill the mountain cavity with those, and the mountain won’t collapse.”
The Demon Sect disciples quickly followed her instructions, moving the scattered rocks into the massive pit within the mountain. When Tang Guo praised them for their work, their eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. Following the Holy Maiden Aunt really meant they could reap the rewards!
Mo Yuntian, watching the disciples’ admiring gazes, felt an urge to smack them.
“Big Brother Mo, let’s go to the next place.”
Mo Yuntian didn’t doubt her for a second. As for how she knew where the good stuff was, he didn’t find it strange. If Tang Guo could even know about Feng Feiling being a reborn person, was there anything else worth being surprised about?
The group departed grandly. Hearing Tang Guo mention taking them to seize more resources, they had no doubts and followed her excitedly.
From then on, the Demon Sect disciples addressed Tang Guo as “Holy Maiden Aunt” with heartfelt admiration and gratitude, as if she were a second parent to them.
Mo Yuntian, by this point, had already grown accustomed to it.
A day later, when Tang Guo and the group were already far from the mountain, Feng Feiling arrived with her people.
She didn’t explain anything but simply instructed, “Dig down. There’s a spirit stone mine below.”
The Xingyue Sect disciples were skeptical. What kind of spirit stones could possibly be in this barren mountain?
Due to Feng Feiling’s extraordinary status, even Sect Master Wen Ziqiu had instructed them to follow her orders, so everyone obediently started digging.
“We’ve found something underground!” A disciple shouted half an hour later.
“Haha! We found it!”
