The deeper they ventured, the denser the spiritual energy became. Soon they came across glittering spirit crystals embedded all over the cave walls, signaling that they had entered the spirit mine.

The spirit mine in this part of the tunnel wasn’t excavated, and the number of spirit crystals was limited.

At regular intervals, there were moonstones embedded in the cave walls, their soft silver glow illuminating the tunnel.

They passed the tunnel and arrived in a massive underground mine. On the left side of the entrance, in the massive mine, there was a pavilion, from where one could overlook the entire mine.

The whole pavilion was carved out of spirit crystal stones. The spirit crystals in the mine were all excavated, leaving only this spirit crystal pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, a middle-aged man was cultivating with his eyes slightly closed, dense spiritual energy converging towards him.

In front of the mine, there were nearly two dozen mining passages lined up. Some disciples of the Jade God Sect, each holding a treasure for digging spirit crystals, entered one of the mining passages together.

This place was just at the edge of the entire large mine.

And the man in the spirit crystal pavilion was the Ling Divine Elder from the Jade God Sect assigned to guard this place.

Besides, under the pavilion, several small houses made of spirit crystals were built, where the deacons responsible for this place lived. Each deacon was a martial artist of the Great Heavenly Realm.

Xu Yan rose instantly and headed for the pavilion. Although the other party’s strength was only in the early stage of refining god, even without ambush, he could kill the other party.

However, he was in the mine after all. If the other party, realizing his defeat, destroyed the spirit mine out of desperation, potentially ruining any Earth Soul Flowers that might be inside, he might not be able to stop them.

No to mention, there were other Jade God Sect disciples in the spirit mine. Having heard movement, if they destroyed the Earth Soul Flower, the loss would be great.

The most precious thing in such a large spirit mine was undoubtedly the Earth Soul Flower!

“What’s the matter?”

The Jade God Sect elder asked in a deep voice, opening his eyes.

The visitor was one of the deacons who kept lookout outside. If it wasn’t important, he would never come to him.

“Elder…”

Xu Yan had already entered the pavilion and was speaking softly.

The moment he opened his mouth, a sword light emerged, as the Mountain River Sword Array instantly enveloped the other party.

Sudden Annihilation Sword fell!

The elder of the Jade God Sect was taken completely by surprise. After all, who would have thought that someone could impersonate one of the lookout deacons with the same appearance and aura.

Furthermore, as the top sect in Yuzhou, who would dare to assassinate him?

“You!”

The Jade God Sect elder’s face changed dramatically. His Divine Soul surged out, a white light emerged from his body, about to defend!

However, the Mountain River Sword Array had already fallen!

Thud!

“Who are you?”

The Jade God Sect elder was horrified. In that moment, his body was destroyed by the sword array.

His divine soul was collapsing.

In shock, he asked his last question in this life.

“Sword God Xu Yan!”

Xu Yan said coldly.

The Jade God Sect elder was destroyed!

He reached out and took the elder’s storage bag.

Meanwhile, down by the pavilion, Fang Hao and Meng Chong had swiftly dealt with the deacons. With their strength, the deacons who were only at the Great Heavenly Realm stood no chance of resisting.

They couldn’t even send a warning before they were wiped out!

Fang Hao waved his hand and a formation device flew out. In an instant, a large formation was set up in the vast mine!

Any Jade God Sect disciple who entered the mine would lose their way in the formation, unable to even notice anything abnormal.

“Let’s go, look for the Earth Soul Flower.”

Xu Yan said.

The Earth Soul Flower was the most important treasure.

The three went towards the mining passages, each passage had a signboard. Among them, deacons and disciples were prohibited from entering into two passages!

“The Earth Soul Flower, most likely, grows in these two passages. I’ll check out this passage. You two go and explore the remaining one.”

Xu Yan entered one of the passages.

Meng Chong and Fang Hao entered the other passage.

As expected, deep within the passage towards the spirit crystal mine, on a glittering spirit crystal, a white flower was growing closely attached to it.

Earth Soul Flower!

It was a divine-grade spiritual medicine, incredibly rare even in the Ling Domain.

Xu Yan was excited, he carefully dug up the Earth Soul Flower, sealed it in a prohibition taught by Su Lingxiu to seal spiritual medicines, and put it in his storage ring.

He glanced at the spirit crystal mine. The amount of spirit crystals here was incalculable. Just from this spirit crystal mine alone, the Jade God Sect would never lack spirit crystals for cultivating their disciples.

Of course, what was most precious was undoubtedly the Earth Soul Flower.

Xu Yan didn’t mine the spirit crystals. If they wanted to mine all the spirit crystals in this mine, they didn’t know how long it would take; it would be better to keep it as is.

He left the passage and returned to the mine, shortly after, Meng Chong and Fang Hao also returned excitedly.

“There are two Earth Soul Flowers here.”

Fang Hao said excitedly.

“I found one over there!”

Xu Yan laughed.

Three Earth Soul Flowers grew in this spirit mine. If there were also Earth Soul Flowers grown in the other spirit mine, the Jade God Sect’s collection must be considerable, no wonder they were willing to offer one as a reward.

He glanced at the other passages. Several Jade God Sect disciples came out of the passages, handed over the mined spirit crystals to the deacons, and then eagerly went back to the passages to continue mining.

But what those Jade God Sect disciples didn’t know was that once they returned to the mine, they fell into the large formation and were now caught in illusions. It seemed like they had entered the passage to continue mining, but they were actually still inside the mine.

“Let’s go, onto the next major mine!”

Xu Yan turned and walked away.

This large mine was now covered by a formation, the Jade God Sect disciples inside couldn’t break through the binding of the formation, the news wouldn’t leak out.
