If Anything Goes Wrong, Hold Me Accountable!

The price of the ten spirit mines in Down-and-Out Mountain has gone crazy...

The price has become so high that even the White Spirit Evil Lord has begun to doubt whether there is any spirit ore inside.

Not only the White Spirit Evil Lord, but countless forces are also paying attention to Down-and-Out Mountain. All the major forces are determined to obtain the spirit mines of Down-and-Out Mountain!

For this reason, Zheng Yu even personally went to Wang Tieniu's place and invited Wang Tieniu to Down-and-Out Mountain to see if Down-and-Out Mountain really had any spirit mines.

"Tieniu, could you take a look and see what the spirit mines in Down-and-Out Mountain are like?" Zheng Yu pulled Wang Tieniu over to Down-and-Out Mountain.

But Wang Tieniu was completely dumbfounded after only one glance!

"Senior Brother Zheng Yu, what kind of joke are you playing on me? This is a naturally formed Spirit-Devouring Vortex! How could there be spirit mines where Spirit-Devouring Vortex is located... You've been fooled!"

Wang Tieniu n't pay attention to outside news, so he is completely unaware of any recent information from the outside world.

Hearing Wang Tieniu's words, Zheng Yu was stunned...

"No... Junior Brother Tieniu, are you sure there aren't any spirit mines here?"

"Senior Brother Zheng Yu Tieniu, based on my years of research on spirit mines, there is absolutely no way there could be any spirit mines here!"

"Affim?"

"Affim!"

"Must?",

"Must!"

"Then why did Senior Brother Xinghe say there must be spirit ore here?"

Wang Tieniu: "Senior Brother Xinghe is right. Since Senior Brother Xinghe said there are spirit mines here, then there must be!"

Zheng Yu: "???"

Damn, Zheng Yu was completely dumbfounded... Hey Tieniu, do you want to hear what you're saying...?

What is certain to exist?

We agreed that it definitely wouldn't happen, right? Now you're not even going to pretend anymore, you're changing your mind right in front of me in a second. Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

"Wait... Junior Brother Tieniu, didn't you just say that this is a naturally occurring Spirit-Devouring Vortex and would never produce spirit mines?"

"Senior Brother Zheng Yu... this is just my most rudimentary experience. I haven't even learned the basics of mineral exploration and identification. Senior Brother Xinghe's ability to screen spirit ores is absolutely flawless, so if Senior Brother Xinghe says it exists, then it definitely exists!"

"Zheng Yu Brother Zheng Yu, think back to the past. Every time Senior Brother Xinghe bought spirit ore, wasn't it outrageous? And what was the result?"

Zheng Yu nodded in complete agreement with Wang Tieniu's words.

Because Tieniu said made perfect sense. Back then, Senior Brother Xinghe's reputation was first known throughout the entire Blazing Sun Continent because of Tianyi Spirit Mine.

The Tianyi Spirit Mine was so promising that even the Shi Clan misjudged it back then, but what happened in the end?

Thanks to the Tianyi Spirit Mine, the Vast Heaven Holy Land has made a fortune...

When purchasing various spirit ores from the Spirit Beast Continent, Senior Brother Xinghe proved with facts what unparalleled ores identification skills truly meant.

Even now, the Cui Family still says they completely cannot understand how Chu Xinghe managed to pinpoint each spirit mine so precisely.

So Tieniu is absolutely right. If anyone else claimed to have a spirit mine in Down-and-Out Mountain, they would definitely be lying to you. But if Senior Brother Xinghe says there's a spirit mine, you can just believe him...

After receiving this information from Tieniu, Zheng Yu did not hesitate any longer and joined the bidding army for the spirit mine in Down-and-Out Mountain.

Wang Tieniu returned to Vast Heaven Holy Land immediately after leaving Evil Shadow Continent.

The first thing Wang Tieniu did when he found Senior Brother Xinghe to give him a big bear hug!

"Senior Brother Xinghe, I, Tieniu, have missed you so much!"

"Tieniu, Senior Brother Xinghe misses you too..." Chu Xinghe was in high spirits when he was happy.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, I, Tieniu, came back not only to see you, but also to ask if I should try to compete for the spirit mine in Down-and-Out Mountain?"

Good heavens! Hearing Tieniu's words, Chu Xinghe, who was originally having a good time, almost spat out a mouthful of blood from anger!

What the hell? You're saying Tieniu makes sense? Since there are no spirit mines at Down-and-Out Mountain, why doesn't our Vast Heaven Holy Land offer the highest price to buy those ten fake spirit mines? Wouldn't that result in an even bigger loss?

Chu Xinghe that he had thought about this idea the moment he heard the news from Down-and-Out Mountain.

If I, Chu Xinghe, had used my previous methods, I would have definitely sent Tieniu to take over this fake spirit mine by now.

But do you really think I, Chu Xinghe, haven't grown at all?

Believe it or not, if I actually do this, the next second, no matter if that place is Down-and-Out Mountain or not, as long as we dig it open, there will definitely be a massive amount of super spirit stones underneath...

No matter how many resources our Vast Heaven Holy Land spent this time, the spirit stones we ultimately obtained will definitely be a huge profit!

Therefore, I, Chu Xinghe, have already calculated all the methods of the Misfortune Compass.

Buying this spirit ore is a guaranteed money-maker. The Misfortune Compass has cheat codes, you know... it doesn't reason with you at all.

Therefore, Chu Xinghe indicated that he was using a roundabout and flanking maneuver.

From beginning to end, I have stipulated that no one from the Vast Heaven Holy Land is allowed to buy this spirit mine, or even to look at it for long.

As long as the whole matter doesn't have much to do with our Vast Heaven Holy Land, theoretically speaking, the Misfortune Compass won't easily make a move.

Although I, Chu Xinghe, want to lose this round, I can't afford to lose recklessly. If I do, the outcome will be unpredictable.

Throughout this entire process, Vast Heaven Holy Land will absolutely not participate in any transactions involving spirit ore from Down-and-Out Mountain, thus the Misfortune Compass will not intervene.

If the Misfortune Compass doesn't make a move, what kind of spirit mine could Down-and-Out Mountain possibly have?

When the so-called spirit mine in Down-and-Out Mountain is dug up and found to be completely empty, do you think everyone will let me, Chu Xinghe, off the hook?

When that happens, won't everyone just come to my Vast Heaven Holy Land to demand an explanation from me, Chu Xinghe?

As everyone knows, I, Chu Xinghe, am famous for my benevolence and righteousness. This time, because of my nonsensical words, various parties have suffered losses. I, Chu Xinghe, will compensate all parties in full. Isn't that perfectly reasonable?

Therefore, this time, no one from our Vast Heaven Holy Land is allowed to go to that Down-and-Out Mountain again, and we are also absolutely forbidden from purchasing any spirit ore.

In this round, we'll try our best to avoid getting involved in anything. Tell me, how can I possibly lose under these circumstances?

Chu Xinghe did not allow Wang Tieniu to return to the spirit mine, but instead had him stay at the Vast Heaven Holy Land to rest for the time being...

After all, this was for safety's sake. If Zheng Yu could go to Wang Tieniu for advice, wouldn't others also go?

If too many people keep coming to Wang Tieniu, do you know if he might pull some outrageous stab in the back?

So this time, I left Wang Tieniu in the Vast Heaven Holy Land and told everyone that Tieniu was in seclusion, no matter who came!

Don't even think about dragging our Vast Heaven Holy Land into this mess!

Goodness, the Evil Shadow Continent became incredibly lively in the following days.

The Down-and-Out Mountain that was once deserted is now bustling with activity...

Even the Demonic Sect has recently set up stalls there... This gives you an idea of just how lively the area around Down-and-Out Mountain is.

Not only that, but now the Four Great Clans of the Spirit Beast Continent, the Ten Great Sects of the Blazing Sun Continent, and even the Wolf King have personally gone to Down-and-Out Mountain to check on the situation.

Not only these two sides, but recently even other Evil Lords have been frantically rushing to White Spirit Division!

Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord: "Old Bai... are you serious? This Down-and-Out Mountain doesn't actually have a spirit mine, does it?!"

Heart-Devouring Evil Lord: "Old Bai... didn't you say before that this was going to trick others? Why do I feel like you're tricking us instead?"

Not only the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord and the Heart-Devouring Evil Lord, but all the other Evil Lords also sought out the White Spirit Evil Lord. The various Evil Lords exclaimed, "White Spirit Evil Lord, why does something feel off to us?"

We all know about the Down-and-Out Mountain thing. Before, when you were selling Down-and-Out Mountain, we all thought you were trying to rip people off. But now, why do we all feel like there's something special inside Down-and-Out Mountain?

Are you sure there's really nothing under this Down-and-Out Mountain?

The arrival of the various Evil Lords made the White Spirit Evil Lord absolutely furious!

The White Spirit Evil Lord says, "Do you Evil Lord have any shame? Do you think I don't know what's beneath Down-and-Out Mountain?"

I've checked this place a million times over these past few days... Don't even mention you guys, I was the first to suspect that there might really be something under Down-and-Out Mountain.

But I, White Spirit Evil Lord, swear to the heavens today that there is truly nothing beneath this Down-and-Out Mountain.

We're trying to scam people from Three Continents, how come you guys are almost believing it yourselves?

However, White Spirit Evil Lord, understood the reactions of the other Evil Lord.

Not to mention them, even White Spirit Evil Lord himself is starting to believe it now, thanks to Chu Xinghe's influence.

As more and more forces joined the battle for the spirit mines of Down-and-Out Mountain, the price of the ten spirit mines in Down-and-Out Mountain skyrocketed in a short period of time.

Nowadays, the price of each of the ten spirit mines in Down-and-Out Mountain has reached astronomical levels.

Even so, the various parties continued to take turns making moves, driving prices to new heights every single day.

Any one of the ten spirit mines in Down-and-Out Mountain now would absolutely fetch a higher price than any spirit mine in the Four Continents in the past.

As prices continued to rise, Cheng Xiaotian couldn't sit still any longer, because Cheng Xiaotian had already asked Zheng Yu about it many times.

"Yu'er... isn't the price we're offering a bit too outrageous? Many top-tier spirit ores probably aren't even worth that much, are they?"

It must be said that Cheng Xiaotian's concerns were normal, since it is common knowledge that the final transaction price of spirit ore is usually about one-third of the value of the spirit ore itself.

There's a consensus across the Four Continents: if you buy more than one-third of the resources produced by a spirit mine, you've essentially overpaid!

Now, even though no one can see a single spirit mine beneath Down-and-Out Mountain, its price keeps breaking records across the Four Continents. Let's not even discuss whether there are any spirit mines beneath Down-and-Out Mountain at all.

Even if there is some, wouldn't it be a huge loss if the value of the spirit ore ultimately mined isn't enough?

So after much deliberation, Cheng Xiaotian finally decided to have Zheng Yu make another trip to Vast Heaven Holy Land to ask Chu Xinghe whether buying at this price was a loss or a huge profit.

This time, it wasn't just Cheng Xiaotian who had this idea; good heavens, countless prodigies from various forces flocked to the Vast Heaven Holy Land to seek an audience with Chu Xinghe... hoping to get some answers from him...

Faced with the talented individuals who came to his door, Chu Xinghe gave an answer immediately.

"Please rest assured, everyone. The spirit mine beneath Down-and-Out Mountain is absolutely a guaranteed profit; there will be no losses whatsoever. If any unforeseen circumstances arise, please hold me, Chu Xinghe, accountable!"
