I did it! I, Chu Xinghe, finally did it this time!

Prodigies from all sides flocked to the Vast Heaven Holy Land to seek an audience with Chu Xinghe.

Because it wasn't just Martial Emperor City that was worried about making a bad purchase; powerful forces from all sides had the same concern.

Therefore, everyone wanted to get accurate information from Chu Xinghe.

However, Chu Xinghe did not choose to meet with the talented individuals who came from all sides immediately!

How can I possibly see that? Do you think I, Chu Xinghe, am not worried right now?

If I, Chu Xinghe, don't get involved in anything, then in the end Down-and-Out Mountain might cause everyone to suffer huge losses. But if I get too involved, what if the Misfortune Compass intervenes?

Therefore, Chu Xinghe's first choice was to avoid seeing him.

Faced with Chu Xinghe's avoidance, the various prodigies were completely bewildered...

What's going on? Why is Senior Brother Xinghe avoiding me like this after just one disagreement?

Could it be that Senior Brother Xinghe feels we overpaid for the spirit mine beneath Down-and-Out Mountain?

With this in mind, many people have already started to have second thoughts!

After all, the reason everyone chose to buy spirit ore at such an exorbitant price was because of Chu Xinghe, but now Chu Xinghe is avoiding us. Under these circumstances, no one can be sure what's really going on!

So in the past two days, quite a few prodigies have left. Their reason is simple... this gamble is too risky. If they make a profit, that's fine, but if they lose, they really can't afford it.

As Chu Xinghe continued to avoid them, not only the other major forces, but even Zheng Yu began to have second thoughts.

Zheng Yu said that Martial Emperor City has gained a lot of resources this year and made a fortune. We have some resources now, but even if we have a lot of resources, we can't afford to suffer losses easily, right?

Master's words make sense; sometimes it's better to be cautious.

So after much thought, Zheng Yu decided to leave as well.

Just as Zheng Yu was about to leave, Chu Xinghe finally couldn't sit still any longer.

What the heck? You're asking me why Chu Xinghe couldn't sit still?

If I don't come out soon, will these guys still be able to continue buying spirit ore as planned after they go back? If they all leave in the end, tell me, who will suffer the biggest loss?

How can I, Chu Xinghe, bail them out if they don't suffer huge losses?

Therefore, Chu Xinghe ultimately had no choice but to step forward.

Upon seeing Senior Brother Xinghe appear, many of the prodigies were moved to tears.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, we've known each other for many years. I, Zheng Yu, would like to ask Senior Brother Xinghe for a definite answer: is the purchase of this Grade A spirit mine by Martial Emperor City a loss or a profit? Of course, I, Zheng Yu, understand the rules. Relationships are relationships, and business is business. This is my reward for Senior Brother Xinghe!"

As Zheng Yu spoke, he took out three spirit stones from his person and placed them in front of Chu Xinghe.

Good heavens, Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded when he saw these three spirit stones!

What the hell does this mean?

While Chu Xinghe was still completely bewildered, Wang Tieniu whispered in his ear, "Senior Brother Xinghe, these are the rules of spirit ore trading... It's a business transaction, and there's no reason to let someone help for free. So, Senior Brother Zheng Yu is offering these three spirit stones as payment for the information he received from Senior Brother Xinghe. Accepting this payment is considered as him becoming Senior Brother Zheng Yu's advisor... But... never mind, there's no 'but'..."

Tieniu then offered an explanation.

Upon hearing Tieniu's explanation, Chu Xinghe calmly collected the three spirit stones from the table and said, "Zheng Yu, don't worry, this price is absolutely a steal. If any problems arise, hold me Chu Xinghe, responsible!"

"Thank Zheng Yu very much, Senior Brother Xinghe!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zheng Yu got up to take his leave.

Subsequently, the prodigies from various families also arrived. With Zheng Yu and Jin Yu leading the way, the others did not hesitate at all. Everyone followed suit and took out three spirit stones as payment for asking Senior Brother Xinghe to act as their advisor.

Faced with inquiries from various parties, Chu Xinghe didn't hide anything and simply said the same thing, "Trust me... it's a huge profit... If you lose even a single penny this time, you can hold me, Chu Xinghe, accountable!"

Good heavens, all the prodigies were overjoyed upon receiving this news.

As the prodigies from all sides returned to the Evil Shadow Continent, a new round of bidding began...

Ultimately, Wudi City successfully acquired the No. 1 Class A Mine in Luopo Mountain...

The Wolf King of the Demon Star Continent has captured number two...

The Ming Clan Spirit Beast Continent captured number three...

The other four through ten were also captured by various forces...

This transaction price has once again set a new record for spirit ore transactions in the history of the Four Continents!

Good heavens, as a large amount of resources were sent to White Spirit Division, White Spirit Evil Lord trembled as he wrote the receipt and the transaction transfer certificate for Down-and-Out Mountain.

These things didn't exist before...

After all, back in the Evil Shadow Continent, the Evil Spirit Clan relied entirely on plunder for resources, so what was the point of any written agreement?

However, the Four Continents have Four Continents own rules, so the White Spirit Evil Lord must also abide by these rules.

Nowadays, when doing business across the Four Continents, except for transactions with the Vast Heaven Holy Land where no proof is required, everyone else implicitly agrees to leave proof.

What the heck? You're asking why no proof is needed to trade with the Vast Heaven Holy Land?

First of all... would the Vast Heaven Holy Land owe you money?

The only thing you owe money to is Vast Heaven Holy Land. How could Vast Heaven Holy Land possibly owe you money?

A few years ago, in order to repay its debts, the Vast Heaven Holy Land repaid all the debts for which there were written Vast Heaven Holy Land, and for those without written Vast Heaven Holy Land, it repaid them all based on hearsay...

So, when doing business with the Vast Heaven Holy Land, is there any need for a written agreement?

With everyone taking over the mines of Down-and-Out Mountain, good heavens, Bai Yu and White Spirit Evil Lord are practically laughing their heads off right now!

Bai Yu exclaimed, "Master, Master, do you see this? This is the power of rumors!"

With one hand, Chu Xinghe entered White Spirit Division, and with the other, Chu Xinghe appeared in the mines of Down-and-Out Mountain. Tell me, didn't we make a killing?

Bai Yu White Spirit Evil Lord, looked at Bai Yu with approval and said, "Bai Yu... you've already got the shamelessness of your teacher when you were young!"

Regardless of how you look at it, White Spirit Division has really made a killing this time!

The resources that White Spirit Division earned from selling so-called spirit mines from Down-and-Out Mountain were so vast that even the White Spirit Evil Lord was terrified.

Resources aside, even at this moment, White Spirit Evil Lord still didn't understand, let's just say, what exactly was Chu Xinghe after?

Bai Yu Ling White Spirit Evil Lord was certainly aware of Bai Yu's rumors, but he never expected that Chu Xinghe would not only fail to refute them, but would even readily accept them without a word.

What exactly is going on here?

Shouldn't we refute these rumors?

What's the meaning of you, Chu Xinghe, taking over without warning?

Now that the spirit ore transaction for Down-and-Out Mountain is complete, the Down-and-Out Mountain will soon enter the mining phase. Once the Down-and-Out Mountain is opened, what's inside is anyone's guess, but surely the White Spirit Evil Lord knows?

I heard that a lot of people went to Chu Xinghe to be their advisor this time...

Adding to Chu Xinghe's previous reverse refutation, now that the spirit mine in Down-and-Out Mountain has collapsed, won't Chu Xinghe instantly become the target of everyone's criticism?

So what was the purpose of Chu Xinghe's previous actions?

While the White Spirit Evil Lord couldn't understand it, the spirit mines of Down-and-Out Mountain were far from idle.

After each family obtained the spirit ore in Down-and-Out Mountain, they immediately divided up their territories according to the direction of the ore veins. And after the division of territories was completed...

Each family has chosen an auspicious day to prepare for the grand opening ceremony of their mines!

Today, almost all the big shots from Martial Emperor City have gathered at the No. 1 Spirit Mine of Fallen Mountain.

Everyone changed into formal attire that they would only wear on the most important occasions.

As the auspicious time arrived, Cheng Xiaotian, the Martial Emperor City Lord, personally took the first step and dug the first shovelful of spirit ore.

With Cheng Xiaotian's first shovel strike, the mining of the spirit mine officially began.

Countless miners and disciples from Martial Emperor City sprang into action, while all the bigwigs of Martial Emperor City stared wide-eyed, eagerly awaiting the appearance of a large quantity of spirit ore!

To purchase this Grade A No. 1 Mine, Martial Emperor City spent at least one-tenth of its total assets. Even for a city of Martial Emperor City's size, such a large amount of resources is painful to think about.

However, Zheng Yu remained completely unfazed, after all, they had Senior Brother Xinghe as their advisor...

What could be wrong with that?

Soon, mining began throughout the entire spirit mine. However, as mining continued in Martial Emperor City, something baffling happened...

As they dug deeper, various kinds of rocks... various kinds of bones... various kinds of dog heads began to appear in Grade A No. 1 Mine...

But despite searching everywhere, no trace of spirit ore was found!

Faced with this situation, many of the bigwigs in Martial Emperor City were starting to get restless.

"What's the panic, everyone! Watch Quietly as Things Change... We've only dug so far... There's still a long way to go!"

Cheng Xiaotian appeared completely unperturbed.

Upon hearing Cheng Xiaotian's words, many of the bigwigs of Martial Emperor City smiled, because what the city lord said made perfect sense.

Back then, it took a long time to dig at the Tianyi Spirit Mine before they discovered the spirit stones hidden at the bottom, right? So what's there to panic about digging for only a day now...?

But the next day... the miners from Martial Emperor City continued digging... and still found nothing!

Zheng Yu retorted, "What's the panic? We've only just begun! Keep digging..."

Day 3... Day 4... Day 5...

For a full half month, good heavens! In the mines of Down-and-Out Mountain, even the Martial Emperor City had unearthed ancient tombs, yet still, not a single trace of spirit stones was found...

This really put Martial Emperor City in a state of panic!

But it wasn't just Martial Emperor City that was panicking right now. All the forces that had purchased the Martial Emperor City Down-and-Out Mountain spirit mine were facing the same situation. They had been digging for half a month, but as the saying goes, even though they had dug out underground hot springs, no one had managed to find a single spirit stone!

If one family can't find a spirit ore, it might be because it's buried deep. But if all families can't find a spirit ore, then the sky has truly fallen!

However, it's not just these ten companies that are paying attention to news from Down-and-Out Mountain right now; Chu Xinghe is the one who's keeping a close eye on things here every single day!

When Chu Xinghe heard the news that none of the ten families had found any spirit ore, his eyes welled up with tears of excitement!

It's done! I, Chu Xinghe, have finally succeeded this time!
