Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

In the next few days, Gu Chi and Big Black Dog wandered around the edge of the 16th mining area and found that the monks of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace would go out to purchase rice, flour and other food every three days to meet the three meals a day needs of the mortals working in the major mining areas.

The monks of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace do not like to deal with worldly mortals, so they always bring some mortals with them every time they travel.

"Lao Hei, as long as we can blend into such a team, we can also leave here." Gu Chi pinched his chin and said.

According to her observation, the cultivators in charge of going out for procurement were only at the highest level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and posed no threat to her. She did not have to worry about being caught after being exposed.

In the next few days, Gu Chi was secretly looking for opportunities. At the same time, when he was working in the mine, he dug out several egg-sized spirit stones. When there was no one around, he refined them in an instant.

Spirit stones need to undergo a series of processing before they can be circulated in the market as "currency", which is what the monks call gold and copper coins.

The spiritual essence contained in the spirit stone can assist the cultivators in their practice, and the golden crystal copper coins are also made of spirit stones as raw materials and also contain spiritual essence, but no one will use the golden crystal copper coins for practice.

Because after the golden crystal copper coins have been processed, the spiritual essence they contain is almost gone. The spiritual essence of ten golden crystal copper coins added together is only about the same as a palm-sized low-grade spirit stone. It is really a waste to use it for cultivation.

In the past few days, while the man and the dog were mining spiritual ore, they often took advantage of the time when no one was around to quietly refine the mined spiritual stones.

It’s a pity that the 16th mining area is too barren. Only a small amount of spirit stones can be mined in a day. They dare not be too greedy and only dare to embezzle one or two spirit stones a day.

"I really want to destroy the spirit stone warehouse of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace." Gu Chi muttered in her heart, but she could only think about it in her heart. That kind of place must be a heavily guarded important place. It is basically unrealistic for her and Big Black Dog to capture such a place.

Half a month later, Gu Chi finally found an opportunity and joined the team that was about to go out to purchase supplies with Big Black Dog.

However, on this day, news came that the head of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace was about to arrive and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Gu Chi and the big black dog exchanged glances, unable to help but curse in their hearts. What kind of leader was this? Why did he come at this time instead of earlier? Wasn't he deliberately trying to ruin their plans?!

Half an hour later, a loud bang was heard outside the mining area.

Just as the leader of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace arrived with his men, the void had just cracked when peerless masters joined forces to attack and destroy the void, causing it to collapse.

"kill!"

Shouts and cries of killing shook the heavens. Outside the mining area, a brilliant light shot up into the sky. Various magical weapons were flying, and people were shouting and beasts were howling.

"Li Daoxuan!" The head of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace spoke in a cold voice, his body enveloped by brilliant divine rings, like a god king descending to the earth.

"Sikong Yan." Across from him, a handsome young man stood suspended in the air.

This man was extremely handsome, with a face as white as cream and eyes as bright as lacquer. He was dressed in a Taoist robe made of white cranes. His demeanor was as lofty as a jade tree in a jade forest, but his eyes were sharp, like lightning under a cliff.

"How dare you show up again, you evil bandit? Today, I will make sure you never return!"

Behind the leader of Xuanyuan was a group of elders, and one of them shouted sternly.

"Someone will indeed die today, but it's still unclear who will never return."

With this voice, a young man stepped out from the void and stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Daoxuan.

"boom"

The heaven and earth shook, and a fierce battle broke out. All kinds of restrictions and formations outside the mining area were forcibly torn apart and destroyed. A large number of bandits rushed in like a raging flood.

"The seventh thief Li Daoxuan, the ninth thief Jiang Si and the thirteenth thief Murong Jingzhao are coming together to kill us!" The cultivators in Xuanyuan Immortal Palace were in chaos.

All major mining areas were in chaos for a while.

Gu Chi was surprised. He learned from the shouting of the crowd that the people who came to kill the leader of Xuanyuan were actually several other big thieves in the northern border.

The seventh thief is named Li Daoxuan, the ninth thief is named Jiang Si, and the thirteenth thief is named Murong Jingzhao. They are all notorious figures in the northern territory.

The strong men under the command of the three thieves had all rushed in at this time and fought with the monks of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace.

"Lao Hei, this is a good opportunity!" Gu Chi was originally still worrying about how to escape, but then these ruthless guys attacked him. Now is a good opportunity to escape in the chaos!

The big black dog stared at a small warehouse not far away and said, "Sister Gu Chi, how about we take advantage of the chaos and make some money?"

"Yes, we have worked hard here for more than a month. If we leave like this, it will be a shame for all the hard work and sweat we have put in for more than a month!"

Gu Chi also felt that she should ask Xuanyuan Immortal Palace for some "salary", but she did not dare to attack the mine warehouse, as it must be the main target of the bandits under the three thieves.

"Go, let's go over there!"

Gu Chi quickly found his target and rushed directly towards a stone tower in the 16th mining area.

As far as she knew, there were also quite a few spirit stones piled up there. If she could get them successfully, it would be a rich harvest.

This stone tower is only five or six meters high and is made of piled stones. Gu Chi pushed the stone door a few times and found that there was a layer of restriction on it.

"Lao Hei, can you crack it?" Gu Chi turned around and looked at the big black dog.

The big black dog carefully examined it and said, "It's a bit complicated. It will take some time."

"Then let's just use our fists to blow it open!" Gu Chi swung his fist and smashed it. He just wanted to get the spirit stone in the stone tower immediately and didn't want to waste too much time.

"boom"

The stone tower shook, and when Gu Chi's third punch landed, the heavy stone door shattered.

Bright and shining, pieces of preliminarily processed spirit stones were displayed on simple shelves, shining brightly and weighing dozens of kilograms by visual inspection.

Most of the spiritual stones mined from their 16th mining area in the past two days are here and have not been transported away yet.

Gu Chi immediately took out the Heaven-Swallowing Bag and put all the spirit stones into it.

"Wow, there is actually someone who thinks the same as me. Who are you brothers? You are so quick." A voice came from outside the stone tower. A young man who looked to be about twenty years old was looking at them in surprise.

This man was of medium build, wearing a light green Taoist robe, with a bandit-like temperament between his eyebrows.

"I heard that the Sixteenth Mining Area has been plagued by demonic activity lately. Perhaps they've unearthed something unusual, so I came here to take a look. I didn't expect you two to get the upper hand."

The young man looked at Gu Chi and the big black dog and said, "Since I've caught up, you should all give me some. Everyone who sees gets a share."

Gu Chi didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he said, "There are only a few kilograms of low-grade spirit stones in this stone tower. I don't think there's any need to divide them up, right?"
