Chapter 941 Mining to Pay Off Debts

The three members of the Haoran Sect nodded and began searching through their storage equipment, clearly accepting the task well. Tianyun was doing the same thing.

The three members of the Spirit Sword Sect exchanged glances and began organizing their storage rings. This time, they all tacitly sped up their pace, afraid that the Celestial Official would see them.

Half an hour later, everyone had gathered up a storage ring, which contained the treasures they had prepared to temporarily store with Yunxi.

Yunxi then summoned Lili from the spirit beast pouch (actually from her spatial storage), gave her a few simple instructions, and Lili rolled her dark grape eyes, nodded obediently, and then, in full view of everyone, swallowed the storage equipment of the other seven people in one gulp, flicked her tail, and disappeared back into the spirit beast pouch.

Yunxi sent Lili back to her space with a thought, and put the sleeping Congshan into the spirit beast bag. She used a trick to switch things out. Congshan was only at the fifth level, but he had also cultivated an internal space. However, what he stored inside was all his own little treasures, which he believed that the immortals would not care about.

After doing all this, everyone tacitly left a storage device in plain sight, containing some things that could be discarded at any time. If they didn't have any good stuff on them, those immortals probably wouldn't believe it. They were all veteran cultivators, and they had this much common sense.

Haoyan raised an important question:

"If we go to the mine to dig for immortal stones, how will the three years of free stay in the immortal city be calculated?"

Haohui stroked his chin and said:

"It'll probably fall through. I'll ask the official in charge of celestial affairs later, but I don't think he'll tell the truth."

Tianyun replied:
"Then ask that Immortal Official Wanqi. His backing seems to be stronger than that of Immortal Official Si. When Yunxi raised questions about compensation earlier, she mentioned Immortal Official Wanqi, and Immortal Official Si didn't dare to blame him."

Yunxi narrowed her eyes and said:

"Okay, then we'll ask him in a bit. Hopefully, he can help us figure it out."

However, their plans ultimately failed. Half an hour later, two celestial officials took over the work of Wanqi and Sishijiu. Wanqiwei did not return after sending the ascending cultivators to Wantu Immortal City, while Sishijiu took eight people away from the Ascension Platform by flying boat after completing the handover.

Si Shijiu released her immortal boat, which was more than enough to carry the eight of them. Yun Xi winked at the other seven, then pretended to avoid the crowd and handed a storage ring to Si Shijiu, saying with a smile:

"Immortal Official, I am new here and I am already grateful for your help. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please have some celestial wine."

Si Shijiu glanced at the storage ring in her palm, scanned it with her divine sense, and her expression softened considerably. She then flipped her hand and took the storage ring before speaking:

"You're too kind, Fairy Ranxi. You're the first person to advance in rank after ascending to immortality. This celestial official has truly broadened his horizons."

Yunxi smiled slightly:
"Just luck."

After giving a perfunctory response to the compliment, she got straight to the point:
"Official of the Celestial Realm, do you have any jade slips containing general knowledge about the Celestial Realm? I would like to learn about it before entering the Celestial Stone Mine so that I can be well-informed. After all, we will be leaving the mine in ten years and will have no time to prepare before entering the Celestial Realm to cultivate."

Si Shijiu was a seasoned veteran and naturally had anticipated this, immediately handing three jade slips to Yun Xi:
"Fairy Ranxi, don't say I didn't help you. With these three jade slips, you will have a general understanding of the Immortal Realm and can make plans early. Ten years will pass quickly."

Yunxi immediately thanked him after receiving the jade slip:
"Thank you very much, Celestial Official. This has been a great help to me. I will return it after I have finished reading it."

After saying that, she chose a corner on the immortal boat and began to read and make rubbings of the contents. After she finished reading, she handed the rubbings to Haoran and the others to read, and then went to return the jade slip and asked some questions.

Si Shijiu only answered some questions selectively, and her answers weren't very detailed. Yun Xi knew she wouldn't get anything out of her, so she didn't press the matter further. She and the others sat cross-legged on the deck of the immortal ship to cultivate, communicating only through telepathy and trying to avoid Si Shijiu. The immortal ship flew for seven days before arriving at the immortal stone mine that Si Shijiu had mentioned. The place looked extremely desolate, with only some scattered weeds and sparse trees. Most of the area was rocky terrain, clearly the edge of the Central Region.

As soon as they entered the mining area, a powerful divine sense swept over them, immediately alerting the eight of them.

Si Shijiu showed a token before leading the eight people through layers of guards into a magic house located next to a mine.

“Senior Jinlai, these eight are ascended cultivators. Because they damaged the Immortal Transformation Pool and had no immortal stones to compensate them, they chose to come here to dig for immortal stones to repay their debts. The term is ten years, and the people are entrusted to you.”

After speaking, she secretly gave a wink. Yunxi raised an eyebrow, having seen everything, but lowered her eyes and said nothing.

The immortal called Jinlai should be the person in charge here. Yunxi felt that he had at least the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, which was just enough to suppress her. Moreover, she felt that there should be another big shot here in secret. It was impossible for such a large immortal stone mine to only have one Great Luo Golden Immortal. The divine sense that had swept over her before was very strong. It was probably an immortal who was secretly guarding the mine.

Jin Lai wore a golden robe with dark silver patterns. He was a rare fat man among cultivators, with the appearance of a wealthy middle-aged man. He wore two storage rings on each of his thick fingers. His eyes swept over the eight people, but only lingered on Yun Xi for two seconds, obviously because Yun Xi's cultivation level was worth his attention.

"Xiao Si, thank you for your hard work. Please recruit more people. I need to deliver the immortal stones on time, and I'm a bit short-handed."

"I understand."

Si Shijiu readily agreed.

Jin Lai then tossed Si Shijiu a storage ring:

"This is the delivery fee."

"Thank you, senior."

After saying this, Si Shijiu cupped her hands in farewell and nodded to the eight people before leaving.

Jin Lai then slowly began to speak:

"Since you were introduced by Xiao Si, you will have one day to rest. You will start working in the mine tomorrow."

Let me make this clear beforehand: before entering the mine, you must hand over all your personal storage equipment. This is to prevent you from taking immortal stones with you. Such incidents have happened before.

"Don't worry, the things of ascended cultivators are useless to us, and we don't even want them. Besides, your dantian will be temporarily sealed after you enter the mine to prevent you from cultivating directly with immortal stones in the mine. This is not a place for you to cultivate."

Yunxi frowned upon hearing this, but still politely cupped her hands and said:

"Senior, is sealing the dantian unnecessary? We can all supervise each other."

Jin Lai glanced at Yun Xi out of the corner of his eye before replying unhappily:
"This is also for your own good. There was a case where cultivators who were mining immortal stones seized the mine tunnels, which almost destroyed half of the mining area. So this rule was added afterward."

As long as you don't get into conflicts with others, don't use the immortal stones for cultivation, complete your daily tasks on time, and leave the mine on time, that's fine.

"I am merely informing you, not consulting you. Just do as I say."
