Medium Spirit Stone Vein

That Heavenly Hut Continent, the number one Rogue Cultivator Skystar Zi in Luzhou, was worried about not having Law Treasure to help him overcome tribulation. After discovering that Qian Xinghe had a huge amount of Spirit Stone, he simply decided to kill him.

Qian Xinghe had only broken through to the Golden Core realm for a little over thirty years. How could he possibly defeat Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm like Skystar Zi? After the battle, he naturally met his demise.

That Skystar Zi was ruthless. After obtaining the treasure from Qian Xinghe, she still felt that she didn't have enough Spirit Stone, so she simply went all the way and went to the Chu Kingdom, where she almost wiped out the entire Qian Clan's cultivators.

He plundered all ten million Spirit Stone accumulated by the entire Qian Immortal Clan, and then fled to the Ji Continent.

"No wonder he was unwilling to acquire the Five Elements Essence for us; it turns out he looked down on our meager salaries."

Jiang Linglong sneered in anger. The Qian Immortal Clan had hidden a medium-sized Spirit Stone mine for sixty years, stealing eighteen million Spirit Stone of resources. These lost Spirit Stone should have been theirs.

"Human greed knows no bounds. Qian Xinghe Spirit Stone mines, thinking he can hide from us by purchasing treasures outside of the Ji Continent."

The Old Clan Leader beside him shook his head and said coldly, "But little do they know that with their strength, this sum of Spirit Stone is nothing more than a death warrant."

Chen Nianzhi's gaze was icy, tinged with anger as she said, "If the Qian Clan hadn't been suddenly wiped out, who knows how long this matter could have been kept secret."

"This is probably not an isolated incident. The Heavenly Ruins Alliance should investigate all the major immortal clans in both states."

He couldn't help but be angry. The combined area of Heavenly Ruins Province and Earth Lion Province was larger than the entire Chu Kingdom, and theoretically, their resources should be no less than those of the Chu Kingdom.

He had been wondering why, after so many years of development, there hadn't been any high-grade Spirit Stone veins. Now he knew the problem lay here.

The thought of his hard-won territory being stolen by others made Chen Nianzhi's expression grow even colder as he said:

"Over the years, we have basically not interfered with the allocation of the small and medium-sized Spirit Stone mines in the two states, leaving the shares to the various Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators and immortal clans of the Heavenly Ruins Alliance, yet they still dare to pull this trick."

"Investigate! Investigate this thoroughly!"

"We must conduct targeted investigations, especially into the Immortal Clan, whose strength has surged in recent years."

The Old Clan Leader nodded, his expression grim, and said, "I plan to recall Nianchuan and Qing Hao, and have them thoroughly investigate Heavenly Ruins Province and Earth Lion Province respectively."

"But our most pressing task is to take over the Medium Spirit Stone Vein as soon as possible."

Hearing him mention Medium Spirit Stone Vein, Chen Nianzhi finally calmed down a bit.

He exchanged a glance with Jiang Linglong before standing up and saying, "Let's go check out the mine first, and then we'll decide what to do next."

"..."

The three of them took the Teleportation Array directly to Earth Lion Ridge, where they met up with Ya Ya. They then picked up a dozen or so Purple Mansion cultivators along the way and flew from Earth Lion Ridge to the Medium Spirit Stone Vein.

After flying for more than 200,000 miles, they found a hidden mine nestled among a majestic mountain range.

At this moment, there are still more than two thousand Qian Clan cultivators mining Spirit Stone in this mine. The leader is a Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator named Qian Kongshan.

Because the Qian Clan had only been wiped out less than seven days ago, the Qian Clan cultivators in the Spirit Stone mine had not yet received the news.

Upon seeing the arrival of the elders, Qian Kongshan assumed the message had been leaked and knelt down, begging for mercy. "Elders, our Lineage leader ordered us to secretly mine the Spirit Stone vein."

"I was merely following orders; please spare my life, senior."

Chen Changxuan's face was icy cold as he said indifferently, "Take him down."

With the help of Ya Ya and more than a dozen Purple Mansion cultivators, they quickly took control of the Spirit Stone mine.

Chen Nianzhi flew into the mine on his sword and, after investigating for a long time, said with a solemn expression, "This Spirit Stone mine should produce around 200,000 Spirit Stone a year. Their excessive illegal mining has resulted in significant losses."

"Fortunately, this vein has been stagnant for countless years; otherwise, with such violent mining, the grade of the ore vein would likely have been significantly reduced."

Chen Xianling, who had followed, looked cold and said angrily, "The Qian Clan is insatiably greedy. They stole so many Spirit Stone, they deserve to be almost wiped out. It's true what they say, 'People die for wealth, birds die for food.'"

No one responded. The Old Clan Leader said with a worried expression, "This place is too close to the Demon Race territory. Without Tier 4 Spirit Vein, we might be attacked by demons."

"Then let's cultivate the Spirit Vein."

Jiang Linglong spoke, announcing her decision to cultivate Tier 4 Spirit Vein in this spirit mine and to set up Tier 4 Mountain-Protecting Array.

Ya Ya frowned, her expression slightly grave, and said, "Cultivating a Tier 4 Low-Grade Spirit Vein requires a full ten million Spirit Stone, and the Spirit Stone from the Lineage and the Heavenly Ruins Alliance are not enough."

"Don't worry about the Spirit Stone." Chen Nianzhi said calmly, his eyes cold. "Let's wait until Nianchuan and Uncle Qing Hao finish their investigation and see if anyone is illegally mining the vein before we talk about it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xianling and the others felt a slight unease, realizing that some Lineage might have to suffer significant financial losses this time.

Although the plan is to make certain immortal clans of the Heavenly Ruins Alliance bleed money, the work of cultivating Spirit Vein already needs to begin.

Chen Nianzhi returned to his Lineage and found a lot of refining materials in the family treasury. He then refined a Tier 4 Spirit-Gathering Formation and brought more than three million Spirit Stone from the Chen Clan to the spirit mine.

Upon arriving at the spirit mine, the two set up Spirit-Gathering Formation and then began to advance their Spirit Vein by throwing in Spirit Stone.

"..."

Meanwhile, Chen Qinghao and Chen Nianchuan returned to the Chu Kingdom.

The two immediately began investigating the various immortal clans in Heavenly Ruins Province and Earth Lion Province. In order to find out the mines and treasures that the clans had secretly occupied, they even asked Jiang Linglong to refine a Tier 4 Heart-Questioning Platform.

With the interrogation conducted on the Tier 4 Heart-Questioning Platform, the two spent more than half a year investigating and finally managed to thoroughly examine all two hundred Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan and more than twenty Purple Mansion Immortal Clan of the Heavenly Ruins Alliance.

Even several high-ranking members of the Xu Clan were invited to the Heart-Questioning Platform and questioned.

The results of this investigation were truly shocking; they compiled a list and handed it to Chen Nianzhi.

After reviewing the list, Chen Nianzhi immediately convened a meeting at Earth Lion Ridge with over two hundred Foundation Establishment of the Heavenly Ruins Alliance who were at least at the Foundation Establishment stage.

At the conference, he tossed a list to everyone present and said calmly, "Take a look at this list."

"This..."

After seeing the list, some people looked fearful, while others showed resentment.

Six or seven patriarchs of the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan looked terrified. The current patriarch of the Fang Immortal Clan trembled and said, "Ancestor, please forgive us. We were just confused for a moment."

"Oh--"

Chen Nianzhi sneered, his eyes sharp as knives. "In Heavenly Ruins Province alone, there are seventeen miniature and three small Spirit Stone mines, four third-tier Earth Vein, and dozens of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures mineral veins."

"You guys are doing very well."
