Chapter 945 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
Nothing happened that night. The next day, everyone came out of their meditation, but their faces looked even worse. It seemed that despite a night of effort, the seal in their dantian remained unmoved.

Hao Ran had no choice but to stand up and say:
"Alright, we've already wasted a whole day. We can't keep going like this. Let's dig for immortal stones first. We can't give those immortals an excuse to punish us."

Tianyun then said in a somewhat sarcastic tone:
"There was an easy path to take, but they insisted on dragging everyone down with them."

Hao Yan stood up with a cold face and said:
"Tianyun, you'd better shut your filthy mouth, or I'll kill you!"

Tianyun retorted dismissively:
"Hmph! What can you do to me just because your dantian is sealed? I'm not afraid of you!"

Hao Yan sneered and rushed over, seemingly wanting to make a move, but was stopped by Yun Xi.

"Haoyan, don't be impulsive. She just wants to provoke you. As long as you make a move, she will summon the guards and hand them the excuse for punishment. They will definitely take you away."

Yunxi's persuasion had an effect; Haoyan stopped and stared at Tianyun with the look of someone looking at a dead man, saying:
"Don't be so smug. As long as we can get out of here, it's either you or me who lives!"

Tianyun also responded arrogantly:
"Okay! I'll wait. You get through this first."

Mingjia, who was standing to the side, spoke up at the opportune moment:

"Haoran, since we've fallen out, let's split up and dig for immortal stones. Anyway, this mine is very long. We'll each choose one side, and whether we find any immortal stones will depend on our luck."

Haoran nodded and said:
"Okay, we'll choose first."

Tianyun immediately jumped out and said:

"Why should you choose first? We want to choose first."

The two sides engaged in another verbal battle over who should choose first, with Yunxi and Tianyun taking the lead. Each represented their own camp and was afraid that the other would gain an advantage, so neither was willing to give in.

Zhu Zhen, who was in charge of monitoring from outside, was getting sleepy. He felt that these ascended cultivators were just looking for trouble and deliberately trying to get his attention, so he decided not to show himself and see how long they could keep making a fuss.

Yunxi and Tianyun were at a loss for words. After repeating themselves three times, Yunxi finally won the right to choose first and then handed the choice over to Haoran.

Haoran rubbed his temples, feeling that acting out a scene was more exhausting than fighting a real person, so he casually pointed to one side, while Haoyan said with dissatisfaction:

"Ancestor, you should at least investigate before making a decision."

"it is good."

Haoran knew that this was because they were annoyed that he had made a decision too quickly and hadn't had enough time to spare, so he responded and began to walk around the entire tunnel to check it out, which took a full hour.

Just as Tianyun was showing impatience, Haoran finally chose a side, and Xianling also transmitted a message to Yunxi:

"Master, mission accomplished, take me back."

Yunxi's eyes lit up, and she immediately spoke first:

"I've chosen this spot to start digging, so don't get too close to me."

After saying that, it occupied a large area.

Tianyun rolled his eyes and said:

"Ranxi, you chose such a large area. If you don't find anything, it's not our fault."

"With your reminder, the spot I chose is sure to yield immortal stones, and maybe even immortal crystals."

The following three hundred words of verbal sparring are omitted. Just as the eight men selected their location and prepared to dig, the pit began to shake. Two breaths later, large chunks of rubble began to fall from the tunnel. The eight men exchanged glances and rushed out as fast as they could.

At the same time, all the cultivators who were digging for immortal stones rushed out. The immortals guarding the tunnel were also shocked by this change and quickly activated an array plate to investigate the cause.

Startled, Jin Lai also appeared in the sky above the mine, raised his hand and flicked out a ball of earth-type immortal energy to stabilize the collapsed pit.

At this moment, most of the cultivators in the mine rushed out, while Yunxi and her eight companions were the most disheveled, as they were in the deepest part of the pit. Although they were fast, they were all covered in dust and dirt.

Zhu Zhen, Mu Yangchen, and the other eight guardian immortals came up behind Jin Lai, staring intently at the cultivators who had run out, clearly blaming these people for the collapse of the pit.

After stabilizing the entire mine, Jin Lai extended his divine sense and began to investigate along the direction of the collapse. Half an incense stick later, his face was so gloomy it could drip water, and he asked in a cold voice:

"How many immortal stones have you dug up in the past two days?"

The escaped cultivators were forced to the ground by a powerful pressure, trembling like leaves. One of the bolder ones said:

"We dug up some immortal stones yesterday, but we haven't found a single one so far today."

Once one person started, other monks followed suit:
"Since yesterday, the stones we dug up have been very scattered, and we haven't dug up a single one since last night."

"Yes! We're all worried about not being able to finish today's tasks, so we're digging for immortal stones all night."

Only Yunxi and the other eight exchanged glances, none of them speaking. Jin Lai narrowed his eyes, looking at the somewhat guilty Yunxi with suspicion, and coldly said:

"You've been here for two days, how many immortal stones have you dug up?"

Yunxi immediately lowered her eyes and said:
"We...we haven't even started digging yet."

Without needing to say anything more, Zhu Zhen stepped forward and whispered a few words to Jin Lai.

Zhu Zhen, who had been monitoring the eight people the entire time, naturally knew the reason, while Jin Lai coldly rebuked:

"Unbelievable!"

These newly recruited miners all had their own agendas, and it always took them a couple of days to make a fuss. Moreover, these eight people had even started fighting amongst themselves, and the stalemate lasted for a day and a night. It was normal that they hadn't even dug up a single magic stone, so the suspicions about them were dispelled.

However, an entire mid-grade spirit stone vein couldn't just disappear for no reason. There must be a reason. Jin Lai looked at the miners below, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. These were the only people present when the accident happened, and the cause must lie with them. If he couldn't find the vein, he would have to bear all the responsibility. He never intended to let these people leave alive.

Jin Lai grabbed the first immortal who rushed out of the mine with a wave of his hand, and placed his hand on the top of the other's head to search his soul. This action made everyone present jump in fright.

A moment later, Jin Lai crushed the man's celestial infant, threw him to the ground like a rag, and then sucked the second person into his hand to begin the second round of soul searching.

Yunxi and the others were the last to break through, and because they hadn't dug, they were temporarily cleared of suspicion, but it was still a suspended death sentence. It's likely that the Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't let them go.

Hao Ran and the others exchanged a quick glance and began to mobilize their merit to break through the seal on their dantian; they would not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

A ruthless glint flashed in Yunxi's lowered eyes. She was prepared to use poison if she couldn't win; she wasn't going to wait to have her soul searched.

Just then, an attack struck Jin Lai, catching him off guard. He waved his sleeve, creating an earthen shield to block the second attack, and roared angrily:
"Who dares to be so bold as to ambush this Immortal Venerable!"

The cultivators below had already scattered like birds and beasts, hiding in all directions for fear of being caught in the crossfire. Yunxi and her eight companions also dispersed and looked up at the sky, wondering who was attacking a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

The clouds dispersed, revealing a celestial ship hovering in the sky, its massive hull obscuring half the sun.

Goodnight~ Fengling's going to have dinner~ See you tomorrow~
