Nothing happened overnight. The next day, everyone emerged from their meditative states, but their expressions were even uglier. It seemed that after a night of effort, the seals within their Dantians had not budged in the slightest.
Haoran had no choice but to rise and say:
"Enough. We've already wasted a day. We can't keep dragging this out. Start digging for immortal stones first. We can't give those Immortal Practitioners an excuse to punish us."
Tianyun spoke in a strange, mocking tone:
"There was clearly an easy road to take, yet someone insisted on dragging everyone down."
Hao Yan rose with a cold expression and said:
"Tianyun, you'd better shut that filthy mouth of yours. Keep talking, and I'll kill you!"
Tianyun shot back disdainfully:
"Hmph! Your Dantian is sealed. What can you do to me? I'm not afraid of you!"
Hao Yan sneered and rushed forward, seemingly intending to attack, but Yunxi stopped her.
"Hao Yan, don't be impulsive. She just wants to provoke you. The moment you make a move, she'll call over the Immortal Practitioners guarding the place and hand them an excuse to punish you. They'll definitely take you away."
Yunxi's persuasion worked. Hao Yan stopped, staring at Tianyun as though she were already dead.
"Don't get smug. As long as we can leave this place, it'll be either you die or I live between us!"
Tianyun replied arrogantly:
"Fine! I'll be waiting. Get through this trial first before you talk."
Mingjia spoke up at the right moment from the side:
"Haoran, since everyone has developed bad blood, let's split up and dig for immortal stones separately. This mine tunnel is long enough anyway. We'll each choose a side, and whether we can dig up immortal stones will depend on our own luck."
Haoran nodded.
"Fine.
