Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 943 A Temporary Solution
The actions of Yunxi and her eight companions were all observed by Zhu Zhen, who was in the Celestial Realm outside the mine. He revealed a disdainful smile and said to the man beside him:
"These eight people are really delusional, actually thinking they can break the seal of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. They don't even know their own limitations. Are all cultivators who ascend from the lower realm so arrogant?"

The man chuckled mockingly in agreement. He was the immortal who had escorted Yunxi and the other eight to the designated tunnel. His cultivation was higher than Zhu Zhen's, at the early Golden Immortal realm. He crossed his arms and looked at the densely packed small images reflected in the enormous water mirror before him, lazily saying:

“If we don’t let them try, how will they give up? Anyway, they have three days. After three days, we will have a reason to punish them.”

I know you've taken a liking to that ascended female cultivator at the Golden Immortal realm, but I advise you not to make too much of a fuss. Wait until she fails her mission and is punished before you make your move, so she'll willingly follow you. That way, you'll have a ready-made furnace for your cultivation."

Zhu Zhen gave a fawning chuckle:
"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Yang Chen. With the help of this Golden Immortal female cultivator, I will definitely be able to break through to the Golden Immortal realm soon and take over your position so that you can leave this hellish place as soon as possible."

Mu Yangchen nodded in satisfaction. The reason he acquiesced to Zhu Zhen searching for a furnace among the miners was to escape this tedious task. If it weren't for the fact that the people he found here were all ascended cultivators with relatively low cultivation levels, he would have already broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The two were oblivious to everyone else, discussing how to subdue the eight newcomers. Meanwhile, the old men in the mine also set their sights on Yunxi and the others, but their target was the immortal stones they had dug out of the eight people's storage bags.

As long as they steal the immortal stones they dig out, they can relax for a few days and even leave the mine to cultivate outside. Although it will only be for one night, it is better than not being able to cultivate at all. If they do not cultivate, they will never be able to leave this place. Knowing that it is like drinking poison to quench thirst, they have no choice but to do it.

Yunxi had already opened her eyes. The other seven people were still trying, and she didn't disturb them. She just rested her chin on her hand and looked around the mine tunnel where they were, especially the fireflies that were quietly clinging to the tunnel wall.

These insects resemble fireflies in the mortal realm, but in the immortal realm, they are the size of an adult's fist, and the light source at their tails illuminates the entire mine tunnel, like tiny light bulbs.

However, Yunxi felt that these fireflies were more like eyes monitoring them. Fortunately, they could still communicate with each other using their divine sense, otherwise everything would have been exposed to the other party.

Before work started, Yunxi reviewed everything that had happened along the way and concluded that the problem lay with the immortal official named Si Shijiu. He had offered them two compensation options on the surface, but his ultimate goal was to squeeze every last drop of treasure out of them.

Ascended cultivators with abundant resources like Chen Yebai are few and far between. So even if Chen Yebai manages to reach Wantu Immortal City smoothly, he will definitely lose a piece of his flesh, and Si Shijiu will not suffer a loss.

However, most cultivators are like them, who are short of money. Not to mention their own three ancestors of the "Hao" generation, they left most of their collections to the sect before ascending to immortality, keeping only things to protect their lives or things they liked. Therefore, they would not choose to cultivate in debt, so mining immortal stones is the best option.

The three members of the Spirit Sword Sect are all sword cultivators, and they have spent all their wealth on upgrading their natal swords. They probably don't have many good items left, so they would definitely choose this way to pay off their debts and earn immortal stones at the same time.

That's why the seven of them easily boarded Si Shijiu's pirate ship. It's estimated that among the eight, only she had ill intentions and wanted to accumulate some wealth for herself after entering the Immortal Stone Mine.

After seeing the immortal stones at the Ascension Platform, she was certain that the members of her chat group were all powerful figures, because the support she had received on behalf of her ancestors included a whole box of immortal crystals, which were a higher level than immortal stones.

Immortal stones in the Immortal Realm are also divided into four grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. The higher the grade, the more concentrated the immortal energy contained within the immortal stone. Immortal crystals are even above top-grade immortal stones. If they are buried underground in large areas, they can give rise to a new immortal stone vein after 100,000 years.

In fact, she didn't need to come to dig for immortal stones at all, but it was too conspicuous for a newly ascended cultivator from the lower realm to be able to take out immortal crystals to pay compensation. She would probably be targeted before she even entered the Myriad Paths Immortal City, and Si Shijiu would be the first to not let her go.

Actually, she wasn't afraid of her superior, Shi Jiu, alone. However, it's often the case that killing the younger one brings out the older one. In addition, given Shi Jiu's status as a celestial official, he must have something to rely on. If she confronted him without understanding anything, she would only suffer. More importantly, she hadn't started cultivating celestial techniques yet, and with her own strength insufficient, the best option was to lie low.

Just as Yunxi was gazing absently at the fireflies on the pit wall, the fairy spirit suddenly transmitted her voice:
"Master, where are you now?"

Her tone still held a hint of surprise. Yunxi sighed:
"Your master has been tricked into digging for immortal stones, and is currently in an immortal stone mine."

"Hahaha! This is truly heaven's help; it came to me without any effort at all."

The fairy's somewhat arrogant laughter made Yunxi's head ache. She rubbed her temples and said:

"You want to take all the immortal stones here, pot and all?"

This seems like something a fairy herb would do.

The fairy cleared her throat and said:

“Master, you’ve forgotten, my name is Immortal Spirit Grass. Immortal comes first, then spirit. When I was in the lower realm, those spiritual veins were only enough to fill my teeth, and I had to give them to you before they were even full. This time, I plan to consume all the immortal stone veins! Of course, I’ll also save them for you first, because you’ll definitely need them when you break through.”

Yunxi's eyes flickered after hearing this, feeling that this seemed more worthwhile. Besides, since the other party had acted ruthlessly first, she couldn't be blamed for being unjust. So she directly asked via telepathy:

"Immortal Spirit, how long will it take you to absorb all the immortal stone veins here?"

The fairy grass hadn't expected its master to agree to this, and it shook its leaves, saying:

"If I absorb it at full power, a day and a night will be enough."

“Alright, I’ll send you out now. However, my dantian is currently sealed, so I can’t use my spiritual power openly. You need to be extra careful. The immortals guarding this place are all above the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. If you get caught, they will definitely refine you directly.”

The fairy spirit trembled upon hearing this, then said firmly:

"Fortune favors the bold, and high risk brings high reward. You're new to the Immortal Realm, so you have to take this risk."

Yunxi's lips twitched upon hearing this, but she still managed to grab the Immortal Spirit Grass in her hand with a thought and cover it with her sleeve.

At this moment, Haoran opened his eyes. His expression was normal, but he frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with the current situation.

The remaining people then gradually emerged from their meditation and turned their attention to Yunxi and Haoran, who were the first to open their eyes.

Tianyun's eyes flickered, and then he spoke:

"I cannot break through the seal on my dantian, and for now I am at the mercy of others."

But she secretly transmitted her voice to the seven people at the same time:
"I just tried it, and I can break the seal using the power of merit!"
