When Rong Tian and Ouyang De heard him out, they considered his words briefly and immediately agreed with Xu Yang. The mine was no longer safe, and they truly had no energy to clear the demonic beasts from the stone cavern. They were better off gathering some Spirit Stones and focusing on their cultivation. The sect, of course, had to come second to themselves.
The three reached an agreement and wasted no more time, setting off for the stone cavern at once. The area around the cave was now deserted. When Xu Yang had come out, he had driven away the miners nearby. Seeing that even Lin Hai had been gravely injured, they had immediately realized the place was extremely dangerous and beyond their abilities, so they had quickly fled.
Led by Xu Yang, the three swiftly passed through the outer caves and entered the stone cavern. Rong Tian and Ouyang De's eyes widened; the moment they arrived, the Spirit Stones dazzled them. As they ventured deeper, the Spirit Stones around them grew larger and larger, some exceeding the size of millstones, with occasional middle-grade Spirit Stones mixed in.
Rong Tian and Ouyang De's eyes reddened with greed. They wished they could take every Spirit Stone in the cavern. Seeing this, Xu Yang quickly cleared his throat. "Senior brothers, stop staring and start mining! It'd be best to dig up as many middle-grade Spirit Stones as possible."
Prompted by Xu Yang, Rong Tian and Ouyang De immediately came to their senses. They nodded to him without wasting words, then rushed to the Spirit Stones embedded in the walls and began mining the middle-grade ones.
Xu Yang didn't dare dawdle. He quickly chose a spot and started digging like mad, prioritizing the middle-grade Spirit Stones. They were more valuable and smaller,
