Chapter 942 Crisis and Opportunity
After Jin Lai finished speaking, he impatiently waved his hand, and immediately a Golden Immortal official entered the Dharma room and coldly said to the eight people:

"Come with me, and don't disturb the peace of Immortal Venerable Jinlai."

Yunxi's eyes flashed, she cupped her hands in greeting to Jin Lai at the head of the table, and followed the man out of the magic house.

After they were taken to the stone house for temporary rest, everyone's face was somewhat gloomy. Tianyun spoke up:

"This is both a crisis and an opportunity. If we handle it well, we won't have to worry about cultivation resources anymore."

This time, Haoran directly opened his domain, pulling all eight people who did not resist into it. He felt that what he was about to say was not suitable to be announced to the public, as who knew if those people were secretly monitoring them.

After the other areas were closed, Haoran looked at Tianyun and said:
“Fairy of Heavenly Fortune, you can now explain in detail.”

The ordinary-looking Tianyun smiled slightly and said:

"This is a celestial stone mine, where celestial stones are the least of our worries. Do you really think that Jin Lai and his men, with their character, will let us leave safely with all the celestial stones we've earned?"

Yunxi stroked the black storage bracelet on her wrist, already understanding the implication of destiny.

Shi Jun frowned and said:
“We understand what you mean, but how can we take the immortal stones with us? We have to hand over our storage rings and have our dantian sealed. We’ll probably be checked when we leave the mine to make sure we don’t smuggle anything. The immortal stones won’t end up in our hands. Even if we have ideas, we can’t carry them out.”

Yunxi was also pondering this question. She was worried that her personal space might be affected. If that Great Luo Golden Immortal had the ability to seal her personal space, then she really wouldn't be able to get a single immortal stone.

Minghong continued:

"If the spirit pet can go in, it might be able to bring out some immortal stones."

Yunxi shook her head and said:

"I don't think those people will allow it. Digging for immortal stones is the same as digging for spirit stones; you can't use spiritual power, you only need to use physical strength."

Hao Yan narrowed her long, narrow eyes and said:

"It would be too frustrating to just watch the immortal stone slip through your fingers."

Yun Xi thought for a moment and said:
"We haven't entered the mine yet. We'll make plans after we explore it tomorrow. He can seal our dantian, but he can't seal our divine sense. We'll formulate a plan after we understand the situation here."

Since no one could think of a better way, they could only do this. After Haoran withdrew his domain, everyone replaced rest with meditation and gradually adapted to the cultivation environment of the Immortal Realm. However, the immortal energy here was very thin, even less than that of the Ascension Platform.

Early the next morning, Jin Lai sealed their dantian, and then sent his men to take the eight of them to the mine. In addition to taking away their storage equipment, he also took away the spirit beast pouch from Yun Xi's waist.

Finally, they took away the newly issued identity jade tokens from everyone's waists before handing them over to a somewhat lewd-looking man whose cultivation level was at the Celestial Immortal Realm, even lower than the eight of them.

However, all eight of them now had their dantian sealed, preventing them from mobilizing their immortal energy. The man arrogantly led the eight towards the mine, speaking in a commanding tone:
“You have to hand over one hundred immortal stones every day. If you don’t complete the task, you can’t leave the mine. Don’t say I’m bullying newbies. I’m giving you three days to adapt. If you don’t complete the task after three days, you will be punished.”

After saying that, he pointed to a square not far from the mine and said:

"The man who was hung up was punished with flogging for failing to complete his task for seven consecutive days. He is still unconscious. Don't follow in his footsteps."

After speaking, his gaze swept over Yunxi and Haoyan, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. Tianyun was ignored because of his ordinary appearance.

Yunxi had an urge to gouge out the other person's eyes, but she hadn't figured out the situation yet and couldn't act rashly. She tugged at Haoyan beside her, and Haoyan lowered her eyes and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that these people did not show any dissatisfaction, Zhu Zhen waved his sleeve and threw a storage bag to each of them: "There are tools for digging for immortal stones in here. Just put the immortal stones you dig into the storage bag. You must return this storage bag every day and it must not be damaged. Otherwise, it will be deducted from your income after the time limit is up."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said:

"Go on in! Someone inside will take you to the newly explored mine tunnels. Don't say I didn't warn you, don't get into any conflicts with the old people here, they can be ruthless."

After saying that, he clapped his hands and left.

Hao Yan stared coldly at the man and transmitted her voice to the others:
"I feel like we've been tricked by the Celestial Official. This doesn't seem like an officially managed Celestial Stone mine."

Mingjia also narrowed his eyes and transmitted his voice:

"Haoyan and I share the same opinion. If it were an official immortal stone mine, there shouldn't be so few people guarding it."

Haohui directly pointed out the key point:
"They took our newly issued identity jade tokens as soon as they came in. Without the jade tokens, even if we escape from here, we can't go anywhere, not even into the Immortal City."

Yunxi smiled coldly:

"This makes it easier for us to take action. If something happens here, there will be no immortal soldiers or generals to come to our aid. If this is a celestial stone mine privately mined by a certain family, they will not dare to investigate openly."

"Don't rush. Let's figure out the situation here before we act. Right now, our biggest asset is time; we can afford to wait. As long as the immortal stone vein isn't completely mined out, we're safe for the time being."

They communicated using their spiritual senses, and the communication ended the moment they entered the mine.

The immortal guarding the mine entrance glanced at the group of eight, his gaze first sweeping over Yunxi and the other two, before slowly saying:
"follow me."

The man led the eight of them through the firefly-filled mine, winding his way past all the cultivators who were mining immortal stones, earning them many malicious stares.

Finally, he pointed to the deepest part of the mine tunnel and said:

"We just finished exploring this direction and found some immortal stones. You should dig along this mine tunnel."

Yunxi stepped forward and asked:

"Brother, we don't want to waste time leaving the mine. We'd like to rest inside so we can finish all our tasks as soon as possible. Is that alright?"

The man sneered:

"Of course, no problem. As long as you can stay in the mine, we would love for you to dig for immortal stones day and night. However, the prerequisite is that you must protect the immortal stones you dig out and you must leave the mine once a month to hand in your mission. Otherwise, how will I know if you are still alive?"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Even Minghong, who is usually easy to talk to, turned pale. It was obvious that they wanted to keep them trapped here and turn them into tools for mining immortal stones.

The eight people exchanged glances, but instead of digging immediately, they sat down on the ground and tried to break through the seal on their dantian.

Yunxi used her divine sense to look inward and saw the little nascent soul in her dantian sitting on a seven-colored lotus seat. She tried to mobilize her immortal energy and then smiled.

The seven-colored lotus she refined was truly powerful, protecting her dantian. The immortal who sealed her dantian had only sealed the outermost red petals. As long as these petals opened, she could draw upon her immortal energy.

Good night~
