Miss, Ergouzi Is Here
Whether they were inside or outside, everyone was confused by Gongsun Qiong's action; they didn't know what special meaning Gongsun Qiong had in suddenly ordering the ground to be dug.
"Could there be treasure underground?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"You're talking nonsense. Why don't you just say there's a tomb of Spirit Saint?" another person mocked.
"That's not necessarily true..."
"..."
Within the projection.
Seeing that Gongsun Qiong hadn't attacked the farmland, the tens of thousands of unruly villagers felt much more relaxed. They weren't interested in what Gongsun Qiong and the others were doing, and began to return home one after another.
"What should we do?" The five were somewhat speechless.
They were quite interested in watching what Gongsun Qiong was up to, but the army of troublemakers was leaving, and it would be too obvious if they stayed.
"How about I talk to the leader and ask him to send the five of us here to monitor them?" Lin Taiji said. "Talking to the leader" actually meant controlling the leader's mind and making him obey the five-man team.
The others thought it was a good idea and were just about to take action when suddenly something shot towards them with a 'whoosh' from a distance.
"There's a hidden weapon!"
"Oh no, we've been discovered!"
The five men's expressions changed drastically, and they all lunged forward to dodge the flying 'hidden weapon'.
"Bang"
"Ouch."
The hidden weapon struck a troublemaker on the head, raising a bump before falling to the ground.
The troublemaker covered his head, staring at the 'hidden weapon' on the ground, about to unleash a torrent of curses, but ultimately forced himself to shut his mouth.
Looking around, he saw five people walking slowly and rhythmically from a distance. The unruly man silently picked up the 'hidden weapon' on the ground.
The 'hidden weapon' was illuminated by the sunlight.
It's so shiny, it's practically glowing.
Spirit Crystal!
It's still an unprocessed Spirit Crystal!
On the Azure Dragon Continent, Spirit Crystal are mined from Spirit Crystal Vein Mine. Some of the mined Spirit Crystal are as big as small mountains, while others are as big as fists, varying in size.
Spirit Crystal like these can't be counted individually; they need to undergo special processing and cutting to be divided into equal parts according to the energy contained within Spirit Crystal. Only after being Spirit Crystal can they be called 'pieces' and circulated in the market.
The Spirit Crystal in the troublemaker's hand was about the size of a small, red apple.
If it is cut off, at least twenty Spirit Crystal can be shot out.
Most importantly, this kind of Spirit Crystal can only be found in Spirit Crystal Vein Mine!
What does this mean? It means there's Spirit Crystal Vein Mine nearby!
The troublemaker's eyes were Red. He glanced around and suddenly realized that the five people who had been moving earlier were still in the same spot, seemingly having barely moved forward at all...
The troublemaker was a little confused. He shook his head and looked again, only to find that the place was now empty.
"Could it be that I got too excited?" Diao Min scratched his head, looked at the Spirit Crystal in his hand, his doubts disappeared, and he revealed an excited expression. He ran a few steps forward, hid on the hilltop, and looked in the direction of Gongsun Qiong.
The direction from which the Spirit Crystal was shot just now was from Gongsun Qiong's direction. Connecting this with Gongsun Qiong and her group's actions, the commoner instantly guessed why the group was digging the ground.
They weren't digging up the ground, they were Spirit Crystal Vein Mine!
"We're doomed!" Not far behind the troublemaker, the five-person team was also in a bad mood.
Upon seeing the Spirit Crystal in the commoner's hand, the five instantly guessed why Gongsun Qiong had dug the ground: Spirit Crystal Vein Mine! This was like a dream come true. Almost everything that could be mined on the entire Azure Dragon Continent had been mined, and it was nearly impossible to find Spirit Crystal Vein Mine that had not yet been mined.
And now, in this remote town, a Spirit Crystal Vein Mine has actually appeared! Most importantly, the timing of this Spirit Crystal Vein Mine's appearance couldn't be worse.
Everyone knew that Gongsun Qiong was digging this spirit Spirit Crystal Vein Mine because he wanted to use it as a way to reform the unruly people of Mangcang Town.
Once the breach is made, with Gongsun Qiong's wisdom, this task will be relatively easy.
"How did President Gongsun know there was Spirit Crystal Vein Mine here?" Chi Chengzi was completely puzzled. Spirit Crystal Vein Mine underground and do not emit any Spiritual Power fluctuations. To detect the existence of Spirit Crystal Vein Mine underground, a special detection array must be used. Ordinary array masters cannot make such arrays; only Ninth-tier formation masters can do it.
Most importantly, after tens of thousands of years of testing, the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine hidden underground on the Azure Dragon Continent have been almost completely mined out, and the probability of finding new Spirit Crystal Vein Mine is extremely low.
But despite the extremely low probability, they still managed to stumble upon it.
"I'm even starting to think about siding with President Gongsun," Yu Chengxian said softly.
The appearance of Spirit Crystal Vein Mine means that a large number of Spirit Crystal are about to be produced, which is a great Captivate for any cultivator.
Actually, if it weren't for the fact that they were being broadcast live, their every move would be seen by hundreds of thousands of people, and they might have gone down there right now to silence those people and take over the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine for themselves.
As for missions, they can be completely ignored. A single Spirit Crystal Vein Mine can provide at least tens of millions of Spirit Crystal every year. With these Spirit Crystal in hand, breaking through is only a matter of time.
One offers a one-time boost to one or two cultivation levels, while the other provides a continuous supply of Spirit Crystal. Comparing the two, even a fool would know which to choose.
But now...
The five men exchanged glances, all with wry smiles in their eyes.
"What do we do now? Should we still do the mission?" Wan Chengnan asked.
They can't steal the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine anymore; the mission is the most important thing right now.
"Why don't we wait and see what President Gongsun does next?" suggested Bai Yishui cultivator.
Everyone could only nod; there was no better solution at the moment.
"What should we do with him? Should we kill him?" Vice Dean Lin Taiji made a gesture of waving a knife.
Wan Chengnan shook his head and said, "Since President Gongsun is openly mining Spirit Crystal Vein Mine here, even if we kill him, those troublemakers will probably find out soon enough. It's pointless, so let's just forget about it."
Although killing the troublemakers could temporarily conceal the news, Gongsun Qiong would definitely find a way to let those tens of thousands of troublemakers know about it later, because Gongsun Qiong's goal was not the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine, but those troublemakers; the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine was just bait she used to lure those tens of thousands of troublemakers.
The other four nodded in agreement, agreeing with Wan Chengnan's point.
"Let's go back first," Wan Chengnan sighed and said.
They became less and less confident as they worked on this task.
The four nodded and stood up, preparing to catch up with the main force together with Wan Chengnan.
At this moment, the scoundrel who had been squatting on the hilltop watching Gongsun Qiong suddenly stood up and ran down.
"Young Miss, your most loyal Ergouzi has arrived..."
"..."
