Chapter 341 Despair
"You, you actually gave us all that poison?"
"You Kuang Hetai, you, you are so cruel."
Old Master Kuang's words made Dong and Chang Hongzheng's eyes widen instantly. They asked with their eyes wide open and despair in their voices.
Compared to the despair of the two, their children and grandchildren were still somewhat confused about the situation and had no idea how vicious the poison in their bodies was. Although they were also afraid, they were not as frightened as Dong and Chang Hongzheng.
They listened to what Old Master Kuang said, and it seemed that the poison they were poisoned with could last for another twenty years. Most of them were thinking, since they had twenty years to detoxify, what was there to worry about? As long as they were given freedom, how could they not find someone to detoxify them in such a long time? The only thing they were afraid of was that Old Master Kuang would destroy their Dantian while imprisoning them. If the Dantian was destroyed, it would be truly worse than death.
Everyone, especially the women who needed to rely on the martial arts to maintain their looks and lifespans, could not help but tremble. They did not care about their faces and cried.
No one knew who started crying first, but as soon as the cry started, most of the people began to feel sorry for themselves and burst into tears.
Looking at the high-pitched and rhythmic crying of the descendant of Chang Hongzheng of the Chang family, Old Master Kuang felt indescribably comfortable and happy all over his body.
He waved his hand, and two warriors, one holding a small wine glass, walked towards Chang Hongzheng. The unarmed man easily subdued him and stopped.
Smiling, he watched Chang Hong struggle with fear in his face for a while before Old Master Kuang said, "Just because I didn't give you the drug before doesn't mean I can't.
But I thought that you were not aware of the drug when Dong Shi gave you the drug. After all, ignorance is not a crime, right? So I didn't intend to poison you.
But, who made me later discover that the reason why you completely gave up Shou'er and let Dong torture them was because the poison was too cruel and there was no antidote. In addition to being weak, it was almost unnoticeable, but it would bring disaster to your offspring.
You gave up on your useless offspring so easily. Although I hate you, I know that you are selfish and this is your nature. It is hard to change one's nature, but there is nothing we can do about it.
But you were so cruel that you allowed Dong to do what he wanted, intending to make my elder sister and Shou'er rest in peace even after death. You did such a vicious thing to the substitutes who were buried in their place.
You said, I let you off once and twice. The first time, I could defend you by saying that you were deceived; the second time, I could even say that you had no feelings for your first wife and legitimate son; but what about the third time? What should I say this time? So since you are so affectionate to Dong, I should naturally fulfill your wish and let you live and die together. By the way, you can also enjoy the treatment that my eldest sister, Shou'er, Fu'er and Du have enjoyed over the years. "
The poison in them is untreatable and they can only live for twenty years. Will it bring disaster to their descendants?
Old Master Kuang's words made his descendants, who had previously known nothing about the poison from the Dong family, finally feel the same fear as the Dong family and Chang Hongzheng.
Suddenly the scene became chaotic. Several of Dong's sons who were closest to her rushed over to shake her and asked, "Mom, is this true? The poison we are now infected with has no antidote. We can only live for twenty years at most?"
Dong's face turned paler and his eyes became dull and silent.
Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of Dong, her sons looked at Chang Hongzheng with some hope and asked him again, intending to get a different answer from him.
However, Chang Hongzheng had no time to pay attention to them. Facing the porcelain bottle that was obviously filled with poison right in front of him, he tried to remain calm but couldn't.

Chapter 342 The Cruel Truth
"...I don't accept it. It's obviously that vicious woman who did the evil. She deserves it. You can punish her however you want. But how can you just kill all the people in the Chang family with one blow?"
Thinking about his own family, he only had the son that Dong gave birth to over the years. But now all of Dong's children and grandchildren were caught in one fell swoop, and they were all poisoned and useless.
Then the only bloodline he had left was the one in Lichun's belly, who was released from the mansion out of pity. It was still unknown whether the fetus was a boy or a girl. Chang Hongzheng was completely disheartened for a moment.
He was worried that if Lichun could not give birth to a boy and he was poisoned again, the Chang family's direct bloodline would be cut off in his hands.
No, he couldn't let his ancestors down and cut off his bloodline. He also wanted to live. He had finally cultivated to a high-level warrior, and he still had a long life ahead of him. He was not willing to live only for twenty years. But Chang Hongzheng's struggle was useless. Just a signal from Old Master Kuang, he was forced to drink the poison in the porcelain bottle.
That wasn't all. He was hit hard in the abdomen right after that. The pain was so severe that his dantian was shattered.
"ah--"
Just as Chang Hong was howling in despair, the malicious voice of Old Master Kuang came again: "Haha, who said that I killed the Chang family with one blow? You are wrong. I only want to hit Dong and you, and your descendants. I didn't touch any of the Chang family's collateral branches. At most, I had to spend money to avoid disaster because of your involvement.
I allowed them to redeem themselves with money.
I am a person who values justice the most. Back then, the Dong family was vicious and unwilling to let my elder sister and Shou'er go. In order to continue to torture their descendants, they also involved the completely innocent Du family."
Looking at Dong's descendants, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters-in-law, Old Master Kuang said with a smile: "I think I am not as vicious as Dong. Apart from taking revenge on her and her descendants, I don't want to involve irrelevant people.
If there are people among you who are not of the Dong family, it is not impossible to leave the Chang family. As long as you have enough money or property, or some natural treasures, the price you pay is enough to redeem yourself.
You can even redeem your own sons and grandsons if they are willing to drink a bowl of sterilizing medicine, swear to never marry, and never harm innocent people again."
As he spoke, Old Master Kuang turned his gaze back to Chang Hongzheng and smiled at him kindly, "Even though I didn't ask Fu'er to do that, Fu'er has already decided to change his surname and take the sterilizing medicine.
He even swore to the heavens that even if he could cultivate to a high-level warrior and suppress the poison, he would not bring disaster to his descendants and let them be infected with the poison. He would never have a descendant of your bloodline in his lifetime.
And you don't know yet, right? Lichun, who was just released from your house and is already pregnant, came to you because her stepmother and Dong Shi had a grudge against you, so she was sent to you in order to find a chance to take revenge on you.
Haha, so don't expect her to give birth to your child. She has already taken the abortion pills, and when she recovers, I will allow her to bring her stepmother to come and talk to you in person."
"No" that's not true.
Chang Hong was so angry that he opened his mouth and before he could say anything, blood started to pour out. He rolled his eyes and was so angry that he almost passed out.
Old Master Kuang laughed again after seeing this, then turned his eyes away and ignored him.
On the side, Chang Anfu and Du, who had already changed their surnames to "Kuang Anfu", as well as Kuang Zhihai and others, were too reluctant to even look at him.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 343 Wishful Thinking
"Grandpa Kuang Kuang, you think you can redeem yourself? I have money, a lot of private property and natural treasures. I will give them all to you, so that I can redeem myself."
Old Master Kuang's words about being able to redeem oneself deeply touched Dong's children, grandchildren, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters-in-law.
Almost everyone was thinking about their own private property, and staring at Old Master Kuang with hopeful eyes. Even Dong, who had been standing there stiffly, letting her sons shake her expressionlessly and refusing to move, began to get excited.
At this time, no one cared about Chang Hongzheng. No one noticed that he vomited blood and fainted. Or if they noticed, they subconsciously chose to ignore it.
Seeing that Old Master Kuang had moved, Dong was the one who reacted the fastest and first rushed over to Old Master Kuang, saying, "I have a lot of private property, all for you, all for you, let me go."
"Don't let your wishful thinking lead you to this. If it weren't for you, Chang Hongzheng, how could you have suffered this disaster? How could your children and grandchildren have suffered this disaster as well?"
Old Master Kuang sneered and kicked Dong away, his eyes flashing with hatred: "You treated my eldest sister and nephew so badly that you refused to let them go even after they died. Do you think you can escape the disaster by giving out a little bit of money and dying?"
Dong: "." Her whole body was trembling with fear.
"Mother (grandmother, great-grandmother), since you can't redeem yourself, then the money, property, and natural treasures you saved can still be used to redeem us."
The descendants of the Dong family were all smart people, and they knew that if they wanted to redeem themselves, they could not rely on the family property and the public property of their own branch. If the Kuang family came to retaliate against the Chang family, they would definitely take over all of it.
The only thing they can hope for now is that the Kuang family will not be so cruel and ruthless and will not try to get their hands on the dowries of the Chang family's daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law and their respective private properties.
Those are their only hopes for redemption now.
Even if one can only live for another twenty years, no one would be willing to live in vain, losing their freedom, if they had a choice.
So when they heard that Dong had quite a bit of private property, her children and grandchildren naturally rushed over to get it. But unexpectedly, Dong once again played dumb and ignored everyone.
How could her children and grandchildren let Dong go on like this? They just surrounded her and started to make trouble for her.
Old Master Kuang took a look and sneered again, then asked Kuang Anfu and Mrs. Du, who had been holding the urn since they were found, to leave.
What was more important to him right now was to settle his eldest sister and nephew so that they could truly rest in peace. The chaos in the Chang family was naturally handled by the brothers Kuang Zhihai, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong.
He reburied his eldest sister and nephew in the Kuang family's ancestral tomb, dug up and cleaned the grave that had been tampered with by the Dong family to replace the two of them, and then held a ritual and buried them again. More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Old Master Kuang was about to return to the backyard from the study when he saw Kuang Zhihai coming in hurriedly.
"What's the matter?" Kuang Zhihai didn't even need to ask. Old Master Kuang smiled and said, "What's the big deal?"
"Dad, do you still remember Lichun? I didn't expect she gave us such a big surprise." Kuang Zhihai said happily.
"Tell me quickly, what kind of surprise is it?" Old Master Kuang perked up.
Since I let go of all the family affairs, my eldest son has become much more stable, and it is not often that he is so happy. It is obvious that this surprise is big enough, and he is immediately interested.
"It's about the spirit stone mine."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 344 Spirit Stone Mine
Kuang Zhihai couldn't contain his joy, he moved closer to Old Master Kuang and spoke in a very low voice.
"Don't talk about it for now."
With a breath choking, Old Master Kuang quickly stopped Kuang Zhihai and glanced at the entrance to the dark room in the study. Kuang Zhihai immediately understood what he meant and nodded.
The two of them quickly entered the dark room of the study. When they got inside, Old Master Kuang suppressed his excitement and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Spiritual stones are used by cultivators for cultivation and circulation, just like gold and silver in the secular world. One of its characteristics is that it is extremely strong.
Mineral veins like that are not common in the secular world. If they are found occasionally, ordinary people, even warriors, cannot dig them easily without special digging tools.
But even if it is not easy to mine, any knowledgeable family who has discovered a spirit stone mine will not tell others easily, but hide it and leave it to their own "immortals" or descendants.
After all, having such a spiritual stone mine can benefit the family far more than having a gold mine or a silver mine. Old Master Kuang never dreamed that such a huge benefit would fall on his family.
"Didn't Lichun tell you before that she went to Chang Hongzheng to avenge her adoptive father and mother? In fact, she didn't tell you the whole story at that time. She did go to Chang Hongzheng to avenge her adoptive mother.
But the mission her stepmother gave her was not just revenge, but also to keep an eye on the Chang family's secret. And that secret was the spiritual stone mine that the Chang family had seized from her stepfather's family."
After Kuang Zhihai finished speaking all this in one breath, he could not hide his excitement and continued, "It turns out that the reason why Dong and Chang Hongzheng plotted against Lichun's adoptive father and mother was because they got the news that her adoptive father's family had obtained the spirit stone mine.
Because he had noticed something, Lichun's adoptive father pretended not to believe her adoptive mother, but secretly told her the truth. The Chang family was powerful, and Lichun's adoptive mother knew that even if the two families merged, they would still not be able to defeat the Chang family, and would instead bring disaster to her natal family.
That's why she had to flee and secretly found a place to give birth to a child. She also raised many orphans like her, intending to take revenge and take back the spirit stone mine by surprise."
He endured it until Kuang Zhihai said this, then Old Master Kuang shook his head and sighed, "Taking revenge unexpectedly and taking back the spirit stone mine? This is easier said than done."
"Yes, it is indeed not easy. According to Lichun, they have lost dozens of people in the past few years just to find out the so-called secrets. However, even if those people died, they didn't even know why they died.
Until she came here, she finally gained Chang Hongzheng's trust, and served him for a long time before she got some clues. Then she gradually knew that her stepmother wanted revenge, but she wanted to get the spirit stone mine more.
Even her stepmother was a little crazy in order to get the spiritual stone mine as soon as possible and leave it to her children and grandchildren. She didn't care about the lives of their adopted sons and daughters in name but were actually just slaves.
She was worried that if she really brought the news back, she and her foster brothers and sisters would end up like the miners, losing their lives for the spirit stones. "
"What does that mean? Could it be that Lichun already knows the exact location of the spirit stone mine?"
After hearing this, Old Master Kuang looked at Kuang Zhihai in confusion, then said to himself in confusion: "This shouldn't be the case. Logically, even if Lichun has Chang Hongzheng's trust, he shouldn't tell her such an important secret."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 345: Know Your Mood
"Dad, this secret was not told to her by Chang Hongzheng when he was sober."
Kuang Zhihai agreed with what Old Master Kuang said, and he explained, "She has been with Chang Hongzheng for a long time and has gained his trust, so she is the one who serves Chang Hongzheng when he is drunk.
Chang Hongzheng had a problem that even Dong and himself probably didn't know about. When he was drunk, he would tell anyone anything they asked him, but when he sobered up, he would forget everything.
Lichun saw that she couldn't find out anything after following him for a long time, so she took the risk of trying to get him to tell her something while he was drunk."
After saying that, Kuang Zhihai paused for a moment and said solemnly, "How about drinking and causing trouble? After I knew about this, I immediately called Chang Hongzheng over and gave him a sincere pill. Now, he told me everything.
It was just as Lichun said, the Chang family had a spiritual stone mine that they had seized from Dong's ex-husband. It was located at the bottom of a deserted island about three days' boat ride from the sea of the Endless Forest.
The miners Lichun mentioned included both ordinary people and warriors, all of whom were secretly captured by the Chang family to dig for spiritual stones. Because the spiritual stone mines were on the seabed and extremely difficult to dig, those people were digging for the spiritual stone mines with their lives.
Often a human life cannot be exchanged for ten spirit stones.
According to Chang Hongzheng, Dong also knew about this, but she didn't know it in such detail. Although she knew that her family had a spiritual stone mine that was taken from her ex-husband, she didn't know the exact location of the spiritual stone mine.
Chang Hongzheng kept the location a secret, and didn't tell anyone except himself. He even kept it a secret from the cultivators in his clan. He selfishly wanted to keep the spirit stones for his descendants to use in the future."
Kuang Zhihai felt somewhat relieved as he spoke: "Fortunately, Chang Hongzheng is very selfish, otherwise he would have reported the discovery of the spirit stone mine to the cultivators in their family, and now the spirit stone mine would have nothing to do with our Kuang family.
Not to mention that the spirit stone mine is a bargain for us, even just based on his contribution in discovering the spirit stone mine, it might not be so easy for us to seek revenge on him.
It is said that the mouth of the one who eats is soft, and the hand of the one who takes is soft. Even if our hatred with Chang Hongzheng and Dong family is greater than the sky, reason is on our side, but if the cultivators of their family are really determined to protect him and Dong family.
Even though we have many high-level warriors in the Kuang family, can we really reason with such a protective cultivator? Aren't we just forced to swallow our anger and give in temporarily?"
"That's right, so strength is the key. We were lucky this time, and we won because Chang Hongzheng was too selfish."
Old Master Kuang was also relieved: "So Lichun's concerns are not unreasonable. Just based on what she said about her stepmother's madness, I'm afraid she will bring this news back. In order to keep this secret, she and her adoptive brothers and sisters will not be able to escape, and will have to exchange their lives for spirit stones."
"That's right. Lichun is quite smart and knows to send this news to us." Kuang Zhihai nodded in agreement.
"Did she make any request? Whatever it was, we did it for her."
"Yes, but her request is not high, so it is easy to do. She just wants her foster brothers and sisters to be able to choose their own future paths, to be free and do what they want."
Kuang Zhihai said with a smile: "She has already taken our sincere heart pill. She is quite sensible and didn't even mention that she would leave."
"It's better not to mention it."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 346 Ending
Old Master Kuang smiled and said, "She is quite a smart person. Since she is smart, then give her the highest reward she deserves.
After a while she will naturally understand that if she stays in our Kuang family, her life will be better than if she leaves and lives freely.
Being born as a human being, if you don't have a strong family and your own strong power to support you, how can you be free and at ease? Haha, where in this world can you really live a free and comfortable life? "
"Yes, just because she gave our Kuang family a spiritual stone mine, it would not be too much to cultivate her and give her a good future. But it's a pity that she was impatient before and directly took the red thorn grass that Chang Hongzheng gave her.
If she wants to advance further in the future and raise her cultivation to a high-level warrior, she will probably have to spend at least twice as much effort and time as others just to eliminate the impurities of the red thorn grass in her body. "
As Kuang Zhihai spoke, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Lichun again: "I don't know if she has the willpower to continue practicing. If not, she would probably have to stay in the training ground forever."
"Isn't this a special situation? Based on her merits, you might as well ask her what she thinks. If she has the willpower to persist in cultivation, then give her more resources to let her cultivate; if not, then we should find a place for her to support herself and let her live a life of luxury."
Old Master Kuang waved his hand indifferently: "Let's not talk about her. Tell me what your plan is for the spirit stone mine?"
What's the plan? Naturally, we'll take over and start digging as quickly as possible.
The Chang family didn't have the right tools, but they did. When Qingyin brought back the treasures, she sent them to her father, and his father handed most of them to him.
Kuang Zhihai thought so in his heart, thinking of his father's trust in him, and he replied to Old Master Kuang more respectfully: "Dad, Dong also knows about this. It is a serious matter, so I have given Dong a sincere pill and locked her up alone like Chang Hongzheng."
"Have you asked Dong whether she told her children and grandchildren about the spirit stone mine?"
Old Master Kuang couldn't care less about anything at this moment, and he didn't want to continue humiliating and retaliating against Dong, Chang Hongzheng and their descendants. Hearing this, he asked cautiously.
"I asked her, and she said no." Kuang Zhihai smiled, "She said that Chang Hongzheng didn't allow her to say it. She also knew that the matter was of great importance. They even kept it a secret from the clan. If she told it and it was accidentally leaked out, she would be in trouble. So she didn't dare to say it."
"That's good. It saves us a lot of trouble."
Old Master Kuang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. This time he allowed the descendants of Dong and Chang Hongzheng to redeem themselves. As far as he knew, the descendants of every branch of the Chang family and Dong had redeemed themselves.
Most of what they used were Dong's private property.
Even though Dong Shi had never agreed to give them the private property, both of her hands were broken. Chang Hongzheng was unwilling to help her, and instead wished that she could be more miserable.
So even if Dong Shi was reluctant to give up, she still couldn't keep anything because she didn't have the strength. She could only watch helplessly as her children and grandchildren snatched away everything and divided it up. Not only did they leave her nothing, but they didn't even say "good" to her. Her children and grandchildren all regarded her as an enemy.
Seeing the end of Mrs. Dong, Old Master Kuang and the others felt very happy. Mrs. Dong seemed to have enjoyed a glorious life for half her life, with so many children and grandchildren around her, but in the end, her children and grandchildren all learned her selfish character, and none of them was good.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 347 Selfishness
"You deserve it."
Old Master Kuang cursed secretly to vent his anger.
If it weren't for Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai, who didn't want Dong, Chang Hongzheng and their children and grandchildren to die so soon, they would have sent people to deliver porridge to them once a day.
They could not imagine that Dong and Chang Hongzheng only had children and grandchildren around them, but they had lost their hands and could not eat by themselves, and their children and grandchildren did not care about their lives at all.
Not only did he help feed them, he even snatched their food, not leaving a single bite for the two of them.
If the guards had not noticed something was wrong and scolded the others not to snatch the porridge from others, or locked them up and starved them for three days, I'm afraid Dong and Chang Hongzheng would have starved to death long ago.
Tsk tsk, Old Master Kuang believed that he had seen many unfilial descendants. But it was rare to see such a person who was unwilling to leave any chance for his biological parents to survive.
While Old Master Kuang was still sighing, Kuang Zhihai's thoughts had already shifted. He asked Old Master Kuang, "Dad, although we can dig this spiritual stone mine ourselves, do you think we should tell our clansmen in the cultivation world about this?"
The Kuang family hadn't produced any serious cultivators for many years, and they didn't know the situation of the clan members who were left in the cultivation world. Not to mention how many of them were left, most of the blood relatives of those who were left were already a little far away from them.
Although both father and son had discussed Chang Hongzheng's selfishness before, when he really faced it, Kuang Zhihai suddenly realized that when the matter fell on him, his own selfishness was actually not much less than Chang Hongzheng's.
Kuang Zhihai immediately felt guilty. But he thought that his whole family would have to enter the cultivation world in the future. In the cultivation world, gold and silver were like trash. Many things that were needed could not be bought with them. Only spirit stones were hard currency.
It is easy to think that any cultivator would be overbearing when facing ordinary people in the secular world, even when facing their own clansmen.
If we pass on the news of finding the spirit stone mine, I am afraid that after the cultivators in the family come, they will not be able to leave even half a spirit stone for them.
He was even sure that if they knew that he and his son not only had spirit stone mines, but also had a large number of Qiankun bags, magic weapons, and magical instruments, they would not be able to keep even those.
Alas. Kuang Zhihai struggled in his heart for a while, and hesitantly told Old Master Kuang about his concerns, and then said: "Dad, I actually think that Chang Hongzheng's selfishness is reasonable.
In this world, everyone is busy, and who isn't mostly for the sake of their own children and grandchildren? If I could, I really don't want to hand over what I have in my hands. Even if those people are our ancestors. "
"You are right to be concerned. I have the same concerns, too."
Old Master Kuang also agreed with Kuang Zhihai's clear intention to keep the spirit stone mine and his unwillingness to inform the cultivators in his family in the cultivation world.
He thought about it, and quickly found an excuse for his and Kuang Zhihai's decision, saying, "In theory, we shouldn't hide this, but there is a premise for not hiding it, and that is for the good of the family.
If we don't have the ability to mine the spirit stone mine ourselves, or if we don't have the cultivation techniques that can allow the children of our family to break through the innate realm and become cultivators.
We don't even have the ambition to move our entire family to the world of cultivation. If we let those spiritual stone mines sit there empty, only to be seen but not used, then it goes without saying that if we still hide them under such circumstances, it would naturally be our fault.
But the situation is different now. Don't we have any use for them? Since we can use them ourselves, our selfishness is not just for our direct descendants.
We are also doing this for the entire Kuang family, so how can we say that our decision is just out of our own selfishness?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 348 I Thought of Something
"Dad, what you said is so good."
Kuang Zhihai's eyes lit up when he heard what Old Master Kuang said. He immediately nodded in agreement and helped to explain: "It is a spirit stone mine after all, and we don't know how big it can be.
If it is a medium-sized or large spiritual stone mine, we will not be able to mine it all in a short time. So even if we don't contact those people in the clan who have gone to the cultivation world first, we can wait until the whole clan goes to the cultivation world after us.
By then, those tribesmen will naturally come when they get the news. We can wait and see what happens, and it won't be too late to give them the resources they deserve, right?"
"That's what I said."
Old Master Kuang nodded in agreement: "The cultivation world is far away from the secular world, and that spiritual stone mine may not be a medium-sized or large one. It's possible that even a small one may not be enough for our own use.
In this case, we can't just notify them when we don't know anything yet. What if they have to travel a long way for nothing? That would be a big hassle."
"Yes, that's right." That would be strange.
Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai both responded in their hearts, but of course neither of them would say it out loud. For a moment, the father and son smiled at each other tacitly.
They got a spiritual stone mine from the Chang family for no reason. Such a big thing naturally could not be announced to the public. However, the father and son kept it a secret from others but did not think of hiding it from Mu Qingyin.
Old Master Kuang stroked his beard and said to Kuang Zhihai, "This spiritual stone mine is of great importance, so I have to go there in person. I plan to let Qingyin go with me.
She is now a cultivator, but there are no spiritual stones in this secular world for her to cultivate. No matter how big or small the spiritual stone mine is, we must supply her with all the spiritual stones first. After all, without her, our family would not be what it is today."
"Dad, we really think alike."
Kuang Zhihai nodded naturally and said as a matter of course: "I also think that since we don't know how big this spirit stone mine is and how many spirit stones it can produce, there is no need to tell anyone else except the three of us.
Otherwise, if the number of spirit stones mined from the spirit stone mine is small, it may not be enough for Qingyin to use. After it was said, although no one could object to giving so many spirit stones to Qingyin, it was inevitable that there would be some resentment in their hearts.
Especially if we go to the cultivation world in the future, when everyone knows how rare the spirit stones are, I'm afraid they will have more ideas. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to keep this a secret, which is better for everyone."
"Then let's just leave it at that. Anyway, Qingyin and I are both at a high level of cultivation, much stronger than Chang Hongzheng. He can go back and forth to that deserted island alone, so there's no reason why we can't."
Old Master Kuang nodded: "Although the spirit stone mine will not run away, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. Anyway, Qingyin and I don't have anything serious on our hands, so we should go over and get the spirit stone mine in our hands as soon as possible so that we can feel at ease."
"It's not too late to do it now. I'll have someone find Qingyin right now, and we'll tell her about this. Then you guys pack up tonight and leave tomorrow, how about that?"
Hearing this, Kuang Zhihai was even more anxious than Old Master Kuang, and took out a scroll and stuffed it into Old Master Kuang's hand: "Dad, this is a map, you all have storage rings and Qiankun bracelets.
It just so happens that our shipyard has some ready-made ships. I'll send a pigeon message right away and ask them to keep all the ships. When you pass by, you can just take two more."
"Okay, hurry up and ask someone to call Qingyin over." Old Master Kuang opened the scroll and read it by himself while waving at Kuang Zhihai.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 349: Getting an advantage and still acting cute
"Spiritual stone mine?"
Mu Qingyin arrived very quickly. After hearing from Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai about the discovery of the spirit stone mine, she immediately laughed in surprise: "Aren't we really that lucky?"
"That's right. Aren't good things owned by virtuous people? Chang Hongzheng is a wicked man. He used all means to rob the spirit stone mine.
Over the years, they have not restrained themselves at all. Although they have a huge treasure, their family is still declining day by day. Now this treasure is even cheaper for us." Old Master Kuang said proudly, stroking his beard.
Mu Qingyin: "..."
What he said made so much sense that she didn't know how to respond. Mu Qingyin couldn't help but chuckle, "Grandfather, didn't you say that one person can dig out more than ten spirit stones from that vein? They should have dug out a lot of spirit stones in at least 20 to 30 years, right? What about all those spirit stones now? Did they keep them or sell them?"
"We didn't dig out too many spiritual stones."
Old Master Kuang couldn't help but sigh and shake his head when he talked about it: "It's a person who has almost exhausted his life in the past 20 to 30 years. He has been put into the seabed countless times and can only dig up more than ten spiritual stones at most.
Those people were bought by Chang Hongzheng along the way every year. There were not many people buying at a time, only three or five people. With few people, the spiritual stone mine was difficult to dig at the bottom of the sea.
Therefore, the total amount he had earned in the past twenty or thirty years was less than three hundred. He kept all those spirit stones, which he could not use for his own cultivation, let alone spend them.
In fact, even if Chang Hongzheng had a place to spend them, he might not dare to use them when he was not strong enough. He did not even dare to keep those spirit stones with him. Most of them were hidden on the deserted island, and a small part was hidden in a private house along the way that no one else knew about. "
At this point, Kuang Zhihai couldn't help but feel that it wasn't worth it for Chang Hongzheng. For the sake of the Lingshi mine, he conspired with Dong to plot against Dong's ex-husband, and he didn't dare to tell anyone, so he traveled thousands of miles to the deserted island where the Lingshi mine was located every year.
In the end, all the hard work was in vain, and the Kuang family benefited from it all.
Thinking of this, Kuang Zhihai couldn't help but feel a little proud, and the corners of his mouth kept curling up: "It's all fate after all. If it's destined, it will happen. If it's not destined, don't force it."
This grandpa and uncle are really worthy of being father and son. If Chang Hongzheng heard this kind of words, who was taking advantage of the situation and pretending to be good, I wonder how hurtful it would be? Mu Qingyin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai saw her laughing, although they didn't know what she was laughing at, it didn't affect them as they also found it funny and they couldn't help but laugh along.
Mu Qingyin's heart was also very excited when she saw the spiritual stone ore that suddenly fell from the sky. Although there were many spiritual stones in her mustard seed space that she had snatched from Xiaobao's mouth, who would complain about having too few spiritual stones? Moreover, with the spiritual stones, she could also help set up a spiritual gathering array at home, so that those in the family who could not go to the Wuya Forest to practice could also have spiritual energy to practice at home. They could also make rapid progress and break through the acquired and enter the innate as soon as possible to become a cultivator.
So at that moment, Mu Qingyin had no objection to Kuang Zhihai's unusual anxiety.
She also specifically told Kuang Zhihai: "Uncle, while my grandfather and I are away, please build a hidden and spacious training ground for our family. It should be a place that can accommodate at least half of the clan members."

Chapter 350: Spirit Gathering Array
"What are you repairing that for?"
Kuang Zhihai was puzzled when he heard Mu Qingyin suddenly ask him to build a large training ground. But Old Master Kuang showed a thoughtful look and scolded him, "Just do what I tell you to do. When has Qingyin ever asked you to do useless work?"
"Okay, I'll make a note of that."
Isn't it just building a bigger training ground? What's so difficult about that? After being scolded by Old Master Kuang, Kuang Zhihai thought about it and immediately gave up his curiosity and nodded in response.
"Uncle, I was thinking that as long as we have spirit stones, I can use them to set up a spirit gathering array. In this way, even the tribesmen who stay in the tribe can have spiritual energy to practice on a daily basis just like those who stay in the secret place."
Watching her grandfather scolding her uncle, Mu Qingyin still found it interesting even though she had seen it many times and was used to it, so she explained with a smile.
"Can you also set up a battle formation?"
"When did you learn the formation?"
Mu Qingyin's words were like thunder, which stunned Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai, who looked at her in disbelief. At the same time, they felt even more shocked and excited than when they knew that their family had obtained the spirit stone mine.
"It's the jade slip that I got in the secret realm with Xuanyuan Changxu. I've tried using jade in the past two years and found that it does have some effect.
But unfortunately, the energy contained in the jade is too little. Not only does the jade consume a lot of energy, but it also gathers very little spiritual energy for a very short time, so I tried it once and never tried again. When I get the spiritual stone, I will try it again with the spiritual stone. I believe the effect will be very good. "
Is this really the case? I didn't expect that they could actually use the spirit stones now.
Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai looked at each other in surprise. After hesitating for a while, Kuang Zhihai suddenly said, "Dad, Qingyin, why don't you take a few more people with you this time? We can also dig more spiritual stones back."
"Yes, since we can use the spirit stones now, why don't we take people to dig more. Otherwise, how can the mere three hundred spirit stones be enough?"
Old Master Kuang also agreed. He thought to himself that the spiritual stone mine was at the bottom of the sea, and ordinary people could neither hold their breath nor have the right tools, so their ability to dig was limited.
But it was different for high-level warriors, who could hold their breath for at least half an hour under the sea. With the right tools, they were still not as good as cultivators at digging spiritual stones, but they were definitely much better than ordinary people.
"No, I still have two puppets here, have you all forgotten?"
Mu Qingyin smiled and reminded them, "It's more appropriate and more secretive to use puppets. When the time comes, just leave them a few more Qiankun bags, and they will be able to work day and night under the sea. There is no need for anyone to watch over them, and there is no need to replenish food and water."
Thinking back to when she had exposed the existence of the puppet in front of Xuanyuan Changxu, Mu Qingyin simply used the trip to the secret realm as an excuse to reveal the existence of the puppet in front of her grandfather and uncle.
However, she did not say that there were thousands of puppets in her mustard seed space. She only reported two to avoid scaring the two people.
"This, well, we really forgot about it for a moment. That puppet man is really amazing. He can even mine?"
Old Master Kuang became cheerful, stroked his beard, and imagined the puppets mining day and night without rest and at a very fast speed, then he smiled with satisfaction.
Kuang Zhihai smiled upon hearing this and secretly praised: "Yes, who would have thought of using puppets to mine? But let me tell you, it is really convenient to have them.
Otherwise, even high-level warriors can hold their breath underwater. But underwater, the air is stuffy and people can't use their strength. Normally, if you have ten points of strength on land, you can only use five or six points underwater.
It is also damp and cold under the sea, and anyone who stays there for a long time will feel uncomfortable. It is more convenient to send puppets down to mine. But the sea water is salty, and will the puppets be corroded if they stay there for a long time? "
