Chu Qiuchi, who was being held by Lin Cheng, had a wooden expression on his face. There was no fear on his face, as if the person who had just deceived Lin City was not him.

He had already personally witnessed Lin City's ruthless methods. It was one thing for Chu Qiuchi to lie to Lin City, but Lin City and Zhu Ziquan had already seen through his ruthlessness at a glance. With this young man's ruthlessness, it was not impossible for him to kill Chu Qiuchi in a fit of anger.

Sure enough!

When Supervisor He subconsciously looked at Lin City, he was shocked to discover that this youth's eyes flashed with a strong killing intent. He did not hide his killing intent as he stared at Chu Qiuchi. Then, that youth suddenly turned to look at him.

Manager He looked at Lin Cheng's ice-cold gaze and his heart couldn't help but jump a few times. He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If his body wasn't paralyzed, he would have jumped up and run away.

"You know about the location of the Spirit Stones, right?" Lin Cheng suddenly asked.

"I …"

Supervisor He opened his mouth, but did not say anything.

Lin Cheng nodded his head, "So you don't know! "Alright, since that's the case, then I can only bring Second Master Chu in. As for you …"

He lowered his head to look at Manager He. The latter's heart was beating wildly and he had a bad premonition.

Indeed, Lin Cheng faintly stated, "The Chu Clan will remember your loyalty!"

With that, Lin Cheng flung Manager He onto the ground, turned around and said to Bamboo Pea, "He doesn't know anything. Keeping him alive is also a hidden danger. Kill him."

Killed?!

Hearing this, Manager He was startled. He saw that Bamboo Fork had pulled out her sword and was really going to kill him, so he shouted with all his might, "I know, I know where the spirit stones are …"

"Manager He, you dare to betray the family? "Aren't you afraid of family law …"

"Bam!"

Chu Qiuchi, who was angrily shouting at Manager He, before he could finish, Lin Cheng's wrist shook and a wave of boundless spirit energy suddenly surged out, heavily knocking his head against the ground and directly knocking Chu Qiuchi unconscious. Fresh blood immediately dripped from his head.

Seeing this, Supervisor He's heart suddenly jumped a few times.

"Little thief, that Chu fellow seems to be quite injured. Should we treat him?" At the same time, she indistinctly blinked her eyes at Lin City.

"No need. We just need to keep him alive. We only want to keep him alive to prevent this Manager He from playing tricks on us. We don't need to worry about no one guiding us when we kill him." Lin Cheng immediately understood the situation as he icily stated.

He then lowered his head to look at Manager He. "Will you lie to us?"

Manager He quickly said, "Going down this tunnel, after about two hours, there is a huge space down there. That is the Spirit Stone lode exposed due to the collapse of the mine layer …"

He had used his actions to prove that he would never lie to Lin City.

Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziquan looked at each other in tacit understanding, and they both saw a smile flash across each other's eyes.

"Let's go!"

Lin Cheng didn't even look at Chu Qiuchi, who was dripping blood, and carried the two of them into the unique mine.

Two hours later.

Upon seeing the sight before him, Lin City was dumbfounded.

At this moment, Lin City was located in a huge mining cave. This mining cave was at least ten meters tall. Above his head was a dome formed by jagged rocks, which had clear traces of digging.

At the foot of Lin City, there were artificially carved stone steps that extended all the way down. They had walked down these steps just a moment ago.

The steps were very long, going all the way down from the entrance of the mine. On both sides of the steps were areas for mining ores. Not far from the steps, there were also rope the size of an adult's arm and a bamboo basket hanging from it, which were used to transport ores.

However, Lin City did not even glance at these things because his gaze was completely stunned by the scene before him.

In front of them, a shocking scene that Lin City had never seen before occurred as they slanted down the stairs. It was a spirit stone belt seven to eight meters wide and dozens of meters long, sparkling and translucent!

In fact, this was not the complete extent of the Spirit Stone mine. When one looked along the Spirit Stone mine, they would discover that the Spirit Stone mine had extended all the way to the rocks in front. This meant that even deeper in the front, there was still a Spirit Stone mine!

It was like a river of spirit stones!

A spirit stone river!

In the mortal world, just a few spirit stones were enough to cause a wave of bloodshed. Whether it was a small martial artist or a master at the Arterial Circulation Realm, they would all be envious, moved, or even crazy for him!

However, right now, a spirit stone mine was right in front of Lin City!

Even if it was only a small part of this spirit stone vein, it was enough to make anyone go crazy!

It was not just in the Lin City. Bamboo Gou was also dumbfounded. Her eyes were wide and filled with disbelief as she stared at the spirit stone vein!

"It's actually real …"

Bamboo Shoot's voice was trembling.

Lin Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty before replying, "That's right, you actually …" It's true! "

At this moment, no matter if it was Lin City or Zhu Ziquan, they were no different from bumpkins that had never seen the world. However, upon seeing all of this, Manager He did not have the slightest intention to mock them.

This was because half a year ago, when the Spirit Stone vein was revealed due to an accidental collapse of the Spirit Mine, Manager He, who had received the news, was even more shocked than the two from Lin City when he saw the scene before him. His entire body trembled, and his legs went limp as he sat on the ground.

After he recognized that these sparkling things were actually spirit stones, he had even thought of recklessly killing all the laborers and servants in this mine to silence them and then seizing all the spirit stones for himself.

However, before he could take action, the Second Master of the Chu Clan, Chu Qiuchi, who just happened to be on patrol, was also in the mine at that time. He also came in right after the cave collapsed.

Supervisor He's plan had yet to begin, but the powerful impact that a spirit stone vein gave him was still fresh in his mind.

Thinking about this, Manager He was surprised, "Not good! This little girl from the Wen family is enemies with the Chu family. Furthermore, with this cruel and merciless brat, after they find spirit stones, they will definitely kill us! "

Taking a deep breath, Manager He opened his mouth and asked with difficulty, "Two, two, I have completely followed your orders, please spare my life …"

"How do we extract these spirit stones?" Lin Cheng suddenly asked, interrupting Manager He's words.

"Ugh …"

Manager He was startled.

Lin Cheng frowned slightly and asked again, "Let me ask you, how did you mine these spirit stones?"

The reason he asked this was because after he had obtained the Spirit Stones, he had a sudden thought to find out how the boundless Spiritual Qi existed within them. Therefore, he used his short sword to cut the Spirit Stones.

However, what surprised Lin Cheng the most was that Bamboo Shoot's short sword could easily be cut apart by an ordinary weapon, but when it struck a spirit stone, not even a crack was left. The hardness of a spirit stone was beyond Lin Cheng's imagination!

On the other hand, after absorbing all the energy from the spirit stones during cultivation, the spirit stones became extremely weak and could turn into dust with a slight touch.

However, the Lin City duo could not sit on the Spirit Stone mine to cultivate right now. Otherwise, the ones waiting for them would be the experts of the Chu Clan ambushing and killing them. That was why he wanted to ask the manager how to mine the Spirit Stone.

"Spirit stones are too hard. Ordinary martial artists are unable to extract them. One must be at least at the Arterial Circulation Realm to be able to extract the spirit stones by infusing their spirit energy into the axe." At this moment, Manager He also realized the problem in Lin City and hurriedly said.

"Ordinary warriors cannot mine it?"

"I need to infuse spirit energy?"

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He then asked, "What kind of martial practitioner is able to extract spirit stones?"

The reason why he and Zhui Qianzi went through so much trouble was because of the spirit stones, but if he was unable to mine them, then it would truly be troublesome. If that was really the case, then he could only use poison to control some steward and ask him to help with the excavation.

Fortunately, Manager He's next words made Lin Cheng heave a sigh of relief.

"Because spirit stones are extremely hard, it is impossible for a martial artist to extract them. Even for a martial artist at the realm of the Arterial Circulation Realm or below, it is very difficult to extract them. The higher the cultivation and the thicker the spirit energy, the easier it is to extract them!" Manager He said.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Cheng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he was at least at the 2nd level of the Arterial Circulation Realm.

Bamboo Shoot was the same. When the two of them added together, their efforts would not have been in vain.

But soon, Lin Cheng thought of another question, "Let me ask you, how often will the Chu Clan come to investigate?"

Manager He said, "Normally, the normal ores will be transported out once every seven days, while the Spirit Stones will be personally sent back to the clan by Second Master in a storage bag. As for the time, it depends on how fast the two of us are mining."

Lin Cheng immediately asked, "When was the last time the ore was shipped out? When did you go back to the Spring of Autumn last time? "

Manager He said, "It was two days ago!"

"Two days?!"

Lin City and Zhu Ziyang looked at each other. They both understood that this meant that they would only have five days left in the future!

How many spirit stones they could mine in five days depended on their strength.

Lin Cheng took out a porcelain bottle from his storage bag and poured out a pill. Under Manager He's shocked gaze, he fed it to him, "Manager He, you should know what kind of pill this is. If you have any ulterior motives, your entire body will rot and your meridians will be broken into pieces!"

Manager He panicked. Just as he was about to beg for forgiveness, he saw Lin Cheng pulling out his dagger and was about to start mining for spirit stones.

The next moment, Manager He felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from his stomach. He couldn't help but feel dizzy and his vision turned black.

Before he lost consciousness, he seemed to have seen Lin Cheng's sword slash, and a piece of spirit stone was picked up.

How was this possible?

This was the last thought that flashed through Supervisor He's mind before he completely lost consciousness.
