Chapter 361: Fright

"No one in charge?"

Old Master Kuang was shocked by this answer and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Without a manager, who do you give the spiritual stones you dig up every day to? Could it be that you keep all those spiritual stones by yourselves?"

"Master, please understand. The spiritual stones we dug up are indeed kept by each of us."

The man who answered hung his head, and said tremblingly with fear, "The previous master asked each of us to pay a spirit stone per year. If anyone fails to do so for two consecutive years, they will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

"Pay one spirit stone every two years? Just with that useless iron pickaxe you have?" Old Master Kuang asked in disbelief.

You won't know until you see it, Chang Hongzheng is really extremely stingy.

How can I say about him? He asked people to mine. Even if he couldn't get the mining tools from the cultivation world, it would not be difficult for him to get some sharp weapons from the secular world that could cut through hair.

In the end, he actually got a few useless iron pickaxes to dig spiritual stones, and it took two years to dig out a piece? The old man was furious about this situation. Mu Qingyin listened to it on the side, although she didn't say anything, her face turned bad: Grandfather is right, that Chang Hongzheng is simply crazy. He doesn't even understand the principle of "If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools." He is not only stingy and harsh, but also short-sighted.

Otherwise, even if ordinary people were used to mine, I'm afraid that they would not be able to dig up so many spirit stones over the years, right?

While Mu Qingyin was secretly complaining in her heart, she couldn't help but admire these poor miners in front of her. These people were really capable. They could actually dig out spiritual stones with just ordinary iron pickaxes.

Such people who can survive in such an environment must be extremely tough. It is really a good thing that the Kuang family accepted him. Mu Qingyin was thinking about it randomly, and heard the old man Kuang continued to ask: "Do you have any spirit stones now?"

"."

"."

As soon as Old Master Kuang finished speaking, the miner who had answered earlier did not dare to say anything. No one knew who started it, but the sound of "bang bang bang" of kowtows could be heard.

Everyone knocked their heads quickly, urgently and with great force, and after only three or two knocks, everyone's forehead was covered in blood.

"What are you doing? I'm just asking. Did I say I would punish you?" Old Master Kuang was startled by surprise and shouted angrily with a stern look on his face.

Everyone froze and looked at Old Master Kuang with confused and bewildered eyes.

"Everyone, stand up and answer."

Seeing how frightened everyone was, Old Master Kuang knew that this must be the trouble caused by Chang Hongzhi again, which scared everyone silly.

Forget it, they are all poor people, why should I scare them? Old Master Kuang's heart softened, and the stern look on his face subsided: "Tell me one by one, how long have you been here, have you dug up spiritual stones before, and how long did it take you to dig them up?"

Afraid of scaring people again, he said in a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, things are different now, and my Kuang family is not as crazy as the Chang family.

This spiritual stone ore is very hard and cannot be easily dug by ordinary people. Moreover, it is still on the seabed, and no one will let you dig this spiritual stone in the future. "

He thought that everyone would be relieved after he said this. But what Old Master Kuang didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, all those who had stood up as he said turned pale again and knelt down again with a plop.

"Master, please spare my life."

Chapter 362 Surprise

Unlike before when everyone just kowtowed in silence, this time everyone was trembling, crying and shouting with tears streaming down their faces.

"."

"."

This situation not only stunned Old Master Kuang, but even Mu Qingyin was confused for a moment.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other in confusion. In the end, it was Old Master Kuang who reacted first. He asked with a smile, "Are you afraid that if you know the secret of the spirit stone mine, we won't need you to mine anymore, and you will be disposed of?"

Isn't it?

Everyone felt bitter in their mouths, but no one dared to ask out loud. They could only continue to sob quietly.

Although these people, because they were bought or captured to mine, all had a miserable life. Most people would not be able to hold on for long. But even ants try to survive, so what about them?

Even if the days were hard, even if they knew that there was a huge secret of the spirit stone mine here and there was no hope of leaving, their instinct was to survive.

No matter how long you can live, one more day is always good.

But now, before they could be happy about the new owner who seemed easy to talk to, a bolt from the blue came. If the new owner was unwilling to use them to mine, would they still be able to survive?

"Don't worry, we never intended to take your lives."

Seeing that no one said anything, Old Master Kuang's expression became more and more distressed. He was not angry, but said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "However, in order to prevent the secret of the spirit stone mine from being leaked,

I don't care how you got here before, whether you were bought or robbed because of bad luck. From now on, I'm afraid you can only stay and be slaves of my Kuang family.

And in order to keep the secret from being leaked, you must take the Kuang family's loyalty pill and express your loyalty to the Kuang family. I wonder if you are willing to do so?"

"Yes, Master, I do."

"And me, I'd like to, too."

When Old Master Kuang finished speaking, no one thought there was anything wrong with it. Everyone was even pleasantly surprised and nodded in response.

"Then you all should come over here one by one and take the loyalty pill first, express your loyalty to our Kuang family, and then we can talk about other things."

Old Master Kuang was very satisfied with everyone's performance and nodded. He took out a bottle of Zhongxin Pills and motioned everyone to take one pill, and then asked them to take it and swear an oath.

How could anyone dare to disobey? They all took the Zhongxin Pill as Old Master Kuang said and then swore to be loyal to the Kuang family. As their oaths came to fruition, everyone felt a "boom" in their heads, as if something was restrained, and they no longer had the slightest rebellious thought towards the Kuang family from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone: "."

"Okay, come here, bring a few people up and help the others down. Wait until they take this heartfelt pill. By the way, is there anyone among you who can read?"

He waved to the person who had answered his question first to come over, and halfway through his words, Old Master Kuang suddenly remembered and asked.

"To answer the master's question, I can read."

The person who had spoken first to Old Master Kuang hurriedly responded upon hearing this.

However, when Old Master Kuang asked him to take people to help down those people who were lying in the stone cave waiting to die and unable to get up, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He wanted to tell the truth to Old Master Kuang, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that Old Master Kuang had seen the situation of those people before. Since he had seen it, he could say this.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 363 Gu Cailiang

As the thought came to his mind, the man's heart shuddered and he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. After answering, he just stayed there quietly, waiting for Old Master Kuang to continue his instructions.

"Can you write?"

Thinking that being able to read does not mean being able to write, Old Master Kuang couldn't help but ask one more question.

"Yes, I went to a private school for a few years in my early years." The man said in a low voice with a dim look in his eyes.

Did you go to a private school in your early years?

So they were from a relatively good family? Generally speaking, the families who sold themselves into slavery were mostly poor, and they didn't have any spare money to send their children to school.

Old Master Kuang looked at the man with some interest. Even though he was dressed in rags and looked pale and thin like everyone else, if you looked closely you could still see that he had a firmness and confidence in his expression that no one else had.

"Were you kidnapped?"

Although Old Master Kuang asked this question, it was somewhat certain. Sure enough, the man nodded with a look of pain on his face: "My father broke his leg, and I went to get a doctor for him. I didn't expect that he was knocked unconscious halfway, and when he woke up, he was already here."

Unexpectedly, the past events that I have not dared to think about all these years came to my mind.

Thinking about how his parents were getting old when he was kidnapped, his eldest son was still a child, and his wife was pregnant with a child whose gender was unknown, he was always worried about these years, but he didn't dare to think about the situation at home, and he didn't dare to die. His only obsession was to go back and take a look.

But he also knew clearly that the chances of his obsession coming true were too slim.

Even now that he had met such a seemingly kind master, he still didn't have much hope. The man couldn't help but want to cry loudly, but he was afraid of offending Old Master Kuang, so he could only lower his head and shed tears silently.

"."

Men don't shed tears easily, only because they haven't reached the point of being sad.

Seeing that person crying non-stop, not only did Mu Qingyin beside him couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, even Old Master Kuang couldn't help but be moved and was silent for a moment before asking, "What's your name?"

"My name is Gu Cailiang." The man wiped away his tears and said respectfully.

"Gu Cailiang, right? That's a good name."

Old Master Kuang nodded and said, "From now on, these people will be under your charge. Take a few people up there and get them down. I'll get you a pen and paper later. You can write down the names of everyone here, including yourself, where they live, how many people are in your family, and how you got here, and give it to me."

"Yes, I obey your command."

Gu Cailiang nodded in agreement, thinking about the number of people in the cave, and quickly doubled the number of people who looked the strongest. Without saying a word, he went to the cave where they usually rested.

Gu Cailiang and the others thought that the people who stayed in the cave needed to be helped down with the straps. But when they came up, they saw that the people were sitting down, each holding a big pancake and eating it slowly. They were all stunned.

"you?"

Gu Cailiang looked at the people who stayed in the cave in disbelief for a few times, then suddenly realized and asked, "Did the master give you something to eat?"

"Master? Yes, it was the master who gave each of us a cup of sweet water. After drinking that water, we felt like we came back to life and felt full of energy again."

"Yes, it was only after I drank that sweet water that I felt like all my ailments were gone."

The people who were chewing meat pies were also startled when they suddenly saw Gu Cailiang and others who were supposed to be busy mining. When they heard Gu Cailiang's question, someone immediately answered first, and then the others followed suit.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 364 Explanation

"That's it. The master is still waiting for you down there. Can you walk on your own? Do you want us to carry you down?"

They were all people who shared the same suffering. Seeing that those who had originally had no hope of survival were able to survive, Gu Cailiang was happy for them from the bottom of his heart. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask with a smile on his face.

But he didn't know how strange it looked when he laughed, as he hadn't laughed for such a long time since he came here.

Fortunately, the eldest brother didn't make fun of the second brother, and the way the others laughed at this moment was not much better than Gu Cai, and they didn't dislike each other.

"Yes, we can walk on our own."

When they heard the master summoning them, they thought of the kind-hearted Old Master Kuang who had fed them life-saving water, and Mu Qingyin who had not approached them to avoid suspicion but did not scold them or show any contempt, but instead had a friendly look on his face.

Everyone in the cave no longer had time to eat the meat patties in their hands. They carefully put the remaining meat patties in their arms, nodded, and stood up.

"Let's give them a hand."

Thinking of the order given by Old Master Kuang to help a few people down, and considering that although they had drunk the life-saving water, their previous near-death appearance was still too vivid in people's memory, Gu Cailiang still gave such instructions to the people he brought up.

"Really, there's no need." Among the people originally in the cave, some silently agreed with Gu Cailiang's words, while others rejected them.

"Don't push it. This is the master's order. He is our steward now, and the master wants us to listen to him." The person who refused did not make any waves, and the people who came forward to support him advised him so.

"Butler?"

This word is really fresh. The people in the cave couldn't help but look at Gu Cailiang, who subconsciously stood up straight with his chest and abdomen held in.

"Yes, Steward."

The people who were supporting the people in the cave pulled them forward, nodding their heads and urging them with envy, "Let's go down first, so as not to keep the master waiting for too long."

Yes, this is a serious matter.

Although the new master looked like a good person, they still did not dare to challenge his authority, so they all nodded quickly.

He also gave loyalty pills to several people who were originally in the cave, and listened to them swear to express their loyalty.

Old Master Kuang first handed the water bag containing the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill hanging on his waist, the cup carved from bamboo roots, and the bag of meat patties to Gu Cailiang, and then he carefully instructed: "Remember, each of you can only drink one cup of this water a day. If you drink more and cannot take the tonic, you will be courting death."

This, this must be the life-saving water that those people drank earlier, right?

Holding the thing handed over by Old Master Kuang, Gu Cailiang stared at the water bag with fiery eyes and nodded repeatedly in response to Old Master Kuang's instructions.

"The contents of this bag are either meat patties or meat jerky. They are very greasy. I don't know if your stomach can handle it for a while."

Seeing that Gu Cailiang agreed, Old Master Kuang nodded and took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle and gave it to him: "To be on the safe side, have someone boil a pot of water and dissolve the pills in it. After you finish eating, each of you can drink a bowl and you will be fine."

As he said this, he looked at Mu Qingyin, took the two bags, one large and one small, from her hand and gave them to Gu Cailiang: "Here is a bag of rice and writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. With this rice, you can go to the sea to catch some fish and cook fish porridge, which should be enough for you to eat for a few days.

We will go down to explore the spiritual stone mine below. You just wait and don't have to go down to mine. We will come back in three to five days at the least, and seven to eight days at the most."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 365 Water Repellent Pill

Three to five days, seven to eight days. Did the two masters mean to stay in the Spirit Stone Mine for that long? Did they have good hearing? Gu Cailiang and the others were stunned, staring at Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin. They all found it incredible, after all, the best swimmer among them could only stay at the bottom of the sea for a quarter of an hour at most.

Besides, the seabed is so cold, can anyone really stay there for three to five days, seven to eight days? Seeing everyone's surprise and disbelief, Old Master Kuang seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, he was also curious like a cat scratching.

If Mu Qingyin hadn't told him the secret message before, how could he have said that to Gu Cailiang?

With a slight smile, Mu Qingyin raised her hand and set up a simple isolation array around herself and Old Master Kuang, isolating the two from the others.

After the isolation array was completed, she took out two round water-repellent pills as big as a baby's fist from the mustard seed space and handed one to Old Master Kuang: "Grandfather, if you take this water-repellent pill with you when we go to the sea, we don't have to worry about coming into contact with seawater and being unable to breathe on the bottom of the sea."

"Is this a magic weapon?"

After taking the water-repellent pill, Old Master Kuang held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He saw that the bead was large and warm, emitting a bright glow that made people love it more and more.

"It's not a magic weapon. It's not even a magic weapon."

Mu Qingyin smiled and said, "Its only function is to avoid water, and it allows people to walk underwater as if on flat ground. This was given to me by my master before. He said that there are many of these things in the world of cultivation, and they are not worth much. If I hadn't been able to use it this time, I would have almost forgotten about it."

"Just the fact that it can avoid water is a huge benefit."

Old Master Kuang sighed with longing on his face: "It seems that the good things in the world of cultivation are much more than we imagined? I really wish I could go there right away."

"Now that we have the spirit stone mine, I will set up the spirit gathering array when we return. From now on, it will be the same whether you go to the secret place in the Endless Forest to practice or not. This is also the time when we are not far from practicing."

Mu Qingyin said this with a smile as she took out two purses from the space.

She handed the dark blue purse embroidered with pine and crane to Old Master Kuang, and put the water-repellent beads in her hand into another pink purse embroidered with joy, and then put the purse into her sleeve pocket.

Seeing this, Old Master Kuang followed suit and also installed the water-repellent beads and carefully put the purse into his arms. Then he patted his hands and said happily like a child: "Okay, let's go."

"Um."

Mu Qingyin nodded and, while accompanying Old Man Kuang into the sea, she waved her hand and removed the isolation formation that had been set up earlier.

Neither of them looked behind them again. When Mu Qingyin had already set up the isolation formation, Gu Cailiang and the others watched the two of them suddenly disappear with their eyes wide open.

"Immortals, they are immortals."

"I see. No wonder they say they can stay under the sea for so long."

Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin had not appeared for a long time, and everyone was getting more and more excited, and could no longer hold back their discussions. Many people had ecstasy on their faces, and some were so excited that they cried: "It turns out that our luck is so good that we actually met an immortal."

There was a loud noise, and this time everyone couldn't hold back, and they spontaneously, willingly, and joyfully knelt down in the direction where Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin disappeared -

Happy New Year, I wish you all good health, good luck and good fortune in the new year!!!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 366 Seeing is believing

"I didn't expect going into the sea to be so fun?"

Wearing the water-repellent beads, I went into the sea, and the sea water retreated wherever I went, as if there was a thin film wrapped around me. The sea water still flowed outside, but it could not flow onto me.

Looking at the sea water around him and the fish swimming around as if ignoring him, Old Master Kuang suddenly felt childish and reached out his hand to grab a palm-sized fish.

Seeing the pitiful way the fish kept opening its mouth and struggling in his hand, Old Master Kuang laughed. He casually threw the fish out again, and then laughed again when he saw it wagging its tail and escaping impatiently.

The water ball blocked the normal voice, but the sound transmission could be transmitted. Listening to the words that my grandfather had specially transmitted through the sound transmission, and seeing how he was having fun, Mu Qingyin: "."

Fortunately, the Lingshi Mine is not far from the sea, and we arrived there in a short while.

Soon, a spiritual stone mine cave located at the bottom of the sea appeared in front of Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin. Without going deep into the cave, the two of them could see a large area of spiritual stones that were shining with warm light and beautiful enough to make people suffocate.

Hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes are two completely different things.

Mu Qingyin, who had seen piles of spirit stones before, had a completely different reaction from Old Master Kuang, who had never actually seen spirit stones.

Faced with the vast array of spiritual stones that were so dazzling that they could blind one's eyes, even though Old Master Kuang was calm, he almost lost his composure.

"Spirit Stone, so this is the Spirit Stone."

As if afraid of damaging them, he touched the densely packed and overlapping spiritual stones that were tightly attached to the stone wall. Old Master Kuang smiled from ear to ear: "Seeing is believing.

No wonder cultivators regard the secular world's gold and silver as dirt and only want these spiritual stones. After seeing such a beautiful spiritual stone, it would be strange if anyone's eyes could still accommodate the gold, pearls and silver treasures in our secular world. "

"Grandfather, the reason why cultivators like spiritual stones and don't like the gold, pearls and silver treasures of the secular world is not because the spiritual stones are beautiful, but because the spiritual stones contain energy that allows them to practice."

Seeing that grandpa was twisting the truth, although she knew that his words were mostly joking, since he had specifically used secret voice transmission to let her hear it, Mu Qingyin felt that she had to refute it, so she answered with a smile.

"Hehehe, if I asked you to make jewelry from such a beautiful spiritual stone, wouldn't you like it?" Old Master Kuang laughed and asked deliberately.

"Grandfather, if this spirit stone is really made into jewelry, then walking out of it wouldn't be like telling people blatantly to come and rob them?" Mu Qingyin was amused by Old Master Kuang's fantasy.

The corners of her mouth curled up, and she released two puppets wearing water-repellent beads and carrying mining tools from the cultivation world.

However, the puppet she released did not dig the spirit stone in front of him, but ran straight to the depths of the cave with tools and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Are you going to let them see how big this mine is?"

Looking at the two puppets that disappeared, Old Master Kuang stroked his beard, nodded and smiled: "You did the right thing, now that we are here, there is no need to rush to start digging, it is more important to first see the size of this spirit stone mine.

Well, let's follow. This mine looks quite big, it seems we are really lucky, we can make a fortune this time."

"Grandfather, I not only let the puppets look at the size of the mine. I also let them dig through the mine tunnels that can be dug, and then draw a map of the entire mine.

This way, when they dig, we can know how much they have dug and how many spiritual stones are left. "

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 367 Expectations

"What? You said your two puppets can draw a topographical map of the entire mine, and then mark it out for us to see while digging?"

Old Master Kuang was shocked: "Since when did even puppets become so powerful?"

He only knew that puppets could work before, so he was not surprised that puppets could help dig spiritual stone mines and dig through mine tunnels. But puppets can draw pictures and mark the places they have dug. This, this seems a bit unbelievable, right? "Grandfather, didn't you say that these two of mine are high-level puppets? Of course, they are not comparable to the low-level ones that can only do rough work." Mu Qingyin laughed, "If I have the Thousand Illusion Mask, I can let this puppet pretend to be a real person."

"So powerful?" Old Master Kuang naturally believed Mu Qingyin's words. He asked this question just to express his amazement. After being amazed, he asked expectantly, "What is the Thousand Illusion Mask?"

"It's something similar to the Water Repellent Pill, and it's not a rare thing in the world of cultivation. But it has different grades. The higher the grade of the Thousand Illusion Mask, the harder it is to be seen through."

Mu Qingyin smiled and replied, "After all, there are many high-level cultivators in the world of cultivation. The low-level Thousand Illusion Masks are invisible to those powerful people. But they can still fool people in the secular world."

"It's great to be able to use it in the secular world."

It's only been a short while since I heard about the Water Repellent Pill and the Thousand Illusion Mask. These are practical things that would definitely be fought over by all the major families in the secular world, but they are insignificant in the world of cultivation. The more Old Master Kuang thought about it, the more he looked forward to the world of cultivation.

He looked around, thinking that the two puppets Mu Qingyin had released were going to dig holes and draw maps, and they might not be able to finish their work in a short time, so he said to Mu Qingyin: "Do you have any mining tools?

If there is any, take it out. Since there are puppets exploring this spiritual stone mine, there is no point in us following them now. We have nothing to do here anyway, so we might as well dig a few more spiritual stones to bring back."

"good."

Mu Qingyin took out two sets of tools for digging spiritual stone mines and handed one set to Old Master Kuang. Then she took out two large baskets and pushed one in front of Old Master Kuang before she started working.

The tools specially used in the world of cultivation for digging spirit stone mines are very handy. Mu Qingyin can achieve twice the result with half the effort when using them together with her true energy. Digging the mines is effortless. In less than an incense stick of time, she has easily dug down a large basket of spirit stones.

Looking at Old Master Kuang, he had put in a lot of effort. Mu Qingyin had already dug a large basket of spiritual stones, but his basket was only filled to the bottom.

"How is this possible? I put in more effort than you, but why are the spiritual stones I dug so much worse?"

Seeing Mu Qingyin wave her hand, all the spirit stones in her basket disappeared. Then she continued to dig without even taking a breath, and in the blink of an eye, the number of spirit stones in the basket obviously exceeded the number in her own basket.

Old Master Kuang was tired of it. He put down his mining tools and stared at the two baskets. Then he said to Mu Qingyin unconvincedly, "Come on, let's try another place. It must be that my position is wrong. The spirit stone is too firmly attached."

Otherwise, how could I explain that I had to work so hard to dig out only a few dozen spirit stones, but Qingyin could easily dig a larger basket than me?

Mu Qingyin: "."

She looked at the tools in Old Master Kuang's hand and the spiritual stones in the basket and said helplessly, "Grandfather, this is not about the position, it's about the tools."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 368 A Word Awakens the Dreamer

"Tools? What does this have to do with tools? Aren't the tools in our hands the same?" Old Master Kuang stared at the tool in Mu Qingyin's hand, which looked exactly the same as the tool in his own hand, and was puzzled.

"It's true that the tools are the same, but you don't have the true energy."

Mu Qingyin chuckled and explained, "Actually, my speed is still slow. If I let those two puppets take action, they are high-level puppets with the cultivation base of the Golden Core Stage. If they come to dig the spirit stones, their speed will be several times faster than mine."

"So soon?"

Old Master Kuang was surprised, but soon he turned his attention to the two puppets and said excitedly, "You said that these two puppets have the cultivation base of the Golden Core Stage? If that's the case, then can't we let them escort us through the Endless Forest and head to the world of cultivation?"

"There are too many people in our clan. Most of them have not yet cultivated to the Xiantian stage and have no ability to protect themselves. The puppets are only at the Jindan stage and there are too few of them to protect the safety of our entire clan."

Mu Qingyin had thought about using puppets to escort her tribe members through the Boundless Forest to the world of cultivation before.

But if that were the case, a large number of puppets would be needed.

But too many puppets were taken out. Firstly, she couldn't explain the origins of those puppets; secondly, too many people would talk too much and it would be easy for the news to leak out, thus attracting people's covetousness.

With her and the Kuang family's current strength, if they were targeted by someone, it could lead to the annihilation of the entire clan.

In the secular world, the safety of the big families is guaranteed because there are "immortals" in the world of cultivation. Even when they are calculating and seeking revenge against each other, they dare not go too far and destroy the other party's clan.

However, those small families with few members in the cultivation world are not so lucky. There are countless small families in the entire Qingcang Continent that are wiped out every day due to various reasons.

The situation in the world of cultivation is actually not much different from that in the secular world, and is even more cruel.

The families in the cultivation world do not rely on the protection of ordinary low-level cultivators, they rely on the protection of powerful ones, at least those who have cultivation levels above the Spirit Severing and Combination Stages.

Mu Qingyin looked at Old Master Kuang and suddenly said with feeling: "Their cultivation is too low. Not only in the Endless Forest, they are not enough to protect our people. Even in the world of cultivation, they may become the 'wall' that our entire family will be guilty of."

"."A gentleman is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure.

Old Master Kuang shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat. As expected, he had been in the secular world for a long time, and the real strength of his family over the years was enough to dominate the secular world.

If it weren't for Beixu's Xuanyuan royal family's deep roots in the cultivation world, it would be far beyond their reach. Otherwise, he believed that with the strength of their Kuang family in the secular world, even the Xuanyuan royal family would have to give way.

He gradually began to feel a sense of superiority as his own strength became more and more unrivaled, consciously or unconsciously.

So they gradually ignored it, intentionally or unintentionally. With the current strength of their Kuang family, they are really nothing in the world of cultivation. If they don't keep their tails between their legs and behave themselves, the result of getting carried away is probably that the destruction of the family is likely to be just around the corner, just like those small families in the secular world.

He thought again, even he would gradually lose his original intention because of the sudden increase in the family's strength, what about the other younger generations in the family? Would they also be like him, thinking that their family's strength was strong and they had the capital to be arrogant? Old Master Kuang became more and more uneasy, his expression gradually became solemn, looking at Mu Qingyin solemnly and said: "Qingyin, this time not only grandpa should thank you for your reminder, but the entire Kuang family should also thank you for your reminder."

He smiled bitterly: "Over the years, not to mention others, even my grandfather himself has unknowingly become more arrogant because of the various changes in the family. If it weren't for your words to wake him up, I'm afraid by the time my grandfather woke up, it would have been too late to regret."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 369: Digging Spiritual Stones

Expansion?

Mu Qingyin had never expected that her previous words would lead to such reflection from Old Master Kuang. Then he thought of his family members and realized the potential crisis of the family.

My grandfather truly always keeps his family and its members in mind.

She couldn't help but smile sweetly: "Grandfather, what I said before was just an unintentional remark. I didn't think too much about it and didn't dare to take all the credit for myself.

It is you who are the pillar of our family. If you want to be grateful, I think you are the one who should be grateful the most. And all of us should pay more attention to you and reflect on everything. I think this is the greatest wealth of our family and should be appreciated the most. "

No matter how many holes there are, flattery will never wear out.

It must be said that Mu Qingyin's words were very useful to Old Master Kuang. He immediately laughed out loud: "Kid, what grandpa said before was right, right? You really are talking nonsense."

Mu Qingyin just smiled when she heard that and didn't refute.

While chatting and laughing, it did not delay Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin from digging for spirit stones.

Now that he knows the difference between having true energy and not having true energy, Old Man Kuang is no longer bothered by the difference in their mining speeds.

With a spirit stone vein right in front of them, and abundant energy emanating from tens of thousands of spirit stones, the two men did not feel tired at all. They dug for two days straight without realizing it, for a total of more than twenty-four hours.

During this time, when the two were hungry or thirsty, they would directly take food and water from their respective spaces or Qiankun Rings, and then continue digging after eating and drinking.

It was not until Kuang Qingyin felt tired and noticed that Old Master Kuang was showing some signs of fatigue that she forcefully pulled Old Master Kuang out of the mine and released her magic weapon house.

"We dug so much in one go. It's so satisfying just to watch."

As soon as he entered the magic weapon room, Old Master Kuang released all the spiritual stones he had dug in the past two days. Although he had no true energy, his mining speed was indeed slower than Mu Qingyin's.

But he was using tools that were specially used for mining in the cultivation world. Practice makes perfect, and after he got used to using those tools, he could mine faster and faster. The spiritual stones he had dug in two days could actually form a small mountain.

After carefully admiring the mountain of spiritual stones, Old Master Kuang waved his hand at Mu Qingyin and said, "You can take all of these. I won't be able to use them for a while, so I might as well keep them with you. The same goes for the spiritual stones that the puppets dig up in the future. Keep them all for you first."

"good."

Grandfather trusted her so much, Mu Qingyin did not refuse but took the spirit stone directly, then asked with a smile: "But, after I take the spirit stone away, you won't be able to see it easily. Will you regret it later when you think about such a beautiful spirit stone?"

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I should have kept two pieces. Otherwise, when I go back, I won't have to tell your uncle and grandmother about it. If they want to see it, they will have to ask you for it again."

Old Master Kuang chuckled and stretched out his hand to Mu Qingyin: "Then give me two more pieces, no, give me three. When I get home, I'll give one each to your uncle and grandmother, and I'll keep the rest for myself to play with."

"Are only three enough?" Mu Qingyin placed three spirit stones in Old Master Kuang's hand and asked with a smile.

"That's enough."

Old Master Kuang smiled and fiddled with the three spiritual stones for a while before putting them away. He then took out the ready-made food and water from the Qiankun Ring and said excitedly while eating, "After you are full, practice for another week and then we will continue to dig spiritual stones."

My God, we've been digging for two whole days. Why are you still thinking about digging spirit stones?

Chapter 370 Associated Jade Mine

Mu Qingyin held her forehead with her hands and almost fainted.

But seeing that her grandfather was obviously in high spirits, she couldn't say anything against it. She could only nod and said, "Then I will use this spirit stone to set up a spirit gathering array here. Grandfather, you can just experience the benefits of practicing in a spirit gathering array first."

"Okay." Old Master Kuang immediately became more energetic, with a look of anticipation on his face. ——After restoring his spirits through cultivation in the magic weapon house, Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin continued to dig for spiritual stones for another half day. This time Mu Qingyin paid attention to the time, and just when she pulled Old Master Kuang to go back to the magic weapon house to rest, she suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Even though Mu Qingyin's expression did not change much, Old Master Kuang still noticed it. He immediately noticed her abnormality and asked hurriedly.

"Grandfather, after the puppet team opened up one of the mine tunnels, they discovered a mineral associated with spirit stones." Mu Qingyin said with joy, "It's a jade mine, and a jade mine of extremely high quality."

"Another jade mine was discovered?" Old Master Kuang was also pleasantly surprised. "Jade mines are good. Most of the pills you refine need to be stored in jade bottles. And the spiritual herbs and medicines we picked from the Endless Forest also need jade boxes."

"Not only that, jade is very useful. Not only the jade boxes and jade bottles, but also the array plates, amulets, etc. can be made of jade. The former can be made with jade of slightly lower quality, but the latter requires jade of good quality to be refined."

Mu Qingyin said excitedly: "There are also talismans. If they are carved with high-quality jade, they are talismans. Compared with talismans, talismans are not only durable, but can also be used many times.

Although the warrior cannot use them for the time being, he needs to wait until he reaches the Xiantian stage and has the true energy to use them. But in the future, our people will always reach the Xiantian stage and be able to use them, right?"

Good quality jade is not easy to come by, even if they are from a wealthy family, they can find quite a few good jades. But it is still far from enough, if she really wants to use it freely, it will not work.

Unexpectedly, their luck was so good this time. Not only did they get a spirit stone mine, but they also got a jade mine.

"yes."

Mu Qingyin's face turned red with excitement, and Old Master Kuang was no less excited than her.

Especially when he heard that jade could be used to refine formation plates, amulets and talismans, Old Master Kuang couldn't contain his excitement and put away his mining tools and smiled at Mu Qingyin, "That's right, even if we can't use it now, we'll be able to use it someday. Isn't it said that a blacksmith must be strong himself? Haha, we really made a lot of money this time, whatever we need, we'll get it. Let's go and take a look."

"Um."

Putting away the mining tools in his hand, thinking for a while, Mu Qingyin went outside the mine to collect the magic weapon house. The grandfather and grandson then excitedly went straight to the jade mine.

Eager to know the size of the jade mine, Mu Qingyin ordered the puppet not to look back and directly opened a mine tunnel in the jade mine in order to check the size of the jade mine.

Following the mine tunnel opened by the puppet, Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin moved forward. Even though the two of them used the Speed Rune, the puppet was much faster than them and was always far ahead.

Mu Qingyin had already made the puppet recognize her as its master, so she could see the situation in the mine ahead through the puppet's vision.

In order to prevent Old Master Kuang from becoming anxious and curious, Mu Qingyin did not forget to tell him everything she saw through the puppet using secret telepathy while running forward.

"Another section has been opened."
