I have to admit, the mustached guy is really smart!
While they weren''t at the huge spiritual stone mine, he quickly went to snatch everything!
"Move fast, we''ll be in deep trouble if they catch us," the mustached man mumbled.
"After we grab everything, we need to find somewhere to stash it right away."
I nodded over and over, rushing to keep up with the mustached guy.
We reached a formation nearby.
This formation was the way into the huge spiritual stone mine!
"Go through this formation, plus the one I set up in the mine before, and we can get into the big spiritual stone mine without any problems," the mustached man rubbed his facial hair and said with pride.
I pushed him, "Quit wasting time, let''s go."
The mustached man grunted, stepping up to the formation, whispering spells quietly.
Soon, shing lights appeared, and the formation created an opening.
"Move it!" the mustached man shouted.
I grunted back, not hesitating, and went in after the mustached guy.
My vision got fuzzy, and I felt my body shooting through space really fast.
Around ten minutester, when I opened my eyes again, I had dropped into a massive pit that looked like a volcano!
Deep in the pit, thick qi flowed in streams and bursts of fiery light zed.
Under this light, our bodies sizzled, like we were about to get burned up.
"Damn, pretty hot," the mustached man grumbled.
I didn''t worry about the heat.
That''s because what I saw in front of me grabbed all my attention!
Before us, brilliant lights were shing!
Spiritual stones, sparkling like diamonds, spread out before us!
So many spiritual stones, even I felt totally amazed.
"We hit the jackpot, we hit the jackpot!" I grabbed a spiritual stone and went crazy with joy!
Every single one of these spiritual stones held incredibly pure qi.
If we got this whole batch of spiritual stones, we''d never have to worry again!
"There''s way more than I thought there''d be," the mustached man said, stroking his facial hair.
"Quick, stuff these spiritual stones into the Spatial Magic Artifact," I said, pumped up.
The mustached man rolled his eyes, "What''s the big rush? Even though we got in, we still gotta figure out how to get out."
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.
The mustached man exined, "If they put some kind of technique here, there''s a good chance we''ll get caught if we take tons of spiritual stones."
"So... I gotta set up a formation for us to escape."
I nodded fast, "That makes sense. How long''s it gonna take?"
The mustached man counted on his fingers and said, "Usually, it''d take at least five hours, but the spiritual stones here can work as materials, so that''ll cut down the time..."
He thought for a bit, then said, "Two hours."
"Okay, hurry up," I pushed him.
The mustached man didn''t say anything else, grabbing some spiritual stones and starting the formation.
I looked around.
The huge pit seemed to go on forever, and looking up, it was like a volcano.
The whole mine had at least hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, and each one worked way better than five thousand year old medicinal herbs!
"I wonder how such a huge spiritual stone mine got made," I thought to myself.
I took a deep breath, feeling the thick qiing from the pit.
At the same time, I let out my divine sense, spreading it around the area.
With my divine sense, I found at least eight people.
These eight people were all Military Marquis Realm guys, probably left by the different Mystic Realms and the Capital City Martial Arts Association to guard the ce.
But I didn''t care, as long as there weren''t any Martial Saints, I had nothing to worry about.
——
Right then, Iris Darren and Garcia Coleman were making a deal.
In the office, only Iris Darren and Garcia Coleman were there.
Star and the others were standing guard outside.
About an hourter, the two men came out of the office.
They talked happily, both looking pretty pleased.
"Hope we can work together well," Garcia Coleman said with a smile.
Iris Darren nodded slightly, "Hope so."
After saying that, Iris Darren turned and walked away.
Once he left, Star couldn''t wait to ask, "Young Master Garcia, what did you promise him?"
Garcia narrowed his eyes and said, "Nothing much, I just promised him the Capital City Martial Arts Association won''t get in his way no matter what he does, and when he needs it, they''ll even help him out."
"And, give him half of the spiritual stone mine."
Star frowned, "This guy is really skilled, nobody can promise what he''ll do..."
"As long as it doesn''t mess with us, that''s enough," Garciaughed coldly.
Star felt different about it.
"Young Master Garcia, think about it, if he really had strength way beyond everyone else''s abilities, would he sit down and make deals with us? Or give up half of the spiritual stone mine?" Star said worried.
"If we let him get stronger now, he''ll definitely be unbeatableter, and then, your deals won''t matter anymore!"
Garcia looked at Star and said coldly, "So, you want me to go after him now?"
"Exactly, find a way to get rid of them!" Star yelled.
Garcia sneered coldly, "Star, have you lost it? Right now, the Capital City Martial Arts Association has enemies everywhere, and whether we wipe out Iris Darren or not, we''ll definitely take heavy losses!"
"Then, someone else will definitely profit from our losses!"
"But..."
"Enough, I''ve decided, nothing more to say!"
Star wanted to say something else, but Garcia cut him off.
"Alright, let''s go to the spiritual stone mine now," Garcia said coldly.
——
Spiritual stone mine.
The mustached man was setting up the formation, taking his time.
I felt a little anxious, spreading my senses around and watching quietly.
"Finished."
Right then, the mustached man let out a sigh of relief.
"The spatial formation is done, hurry up and grab the stuff!" the mustached man said excitedly.
I nodded quickly, taking out the Spatial Magic Artifact and getting ready to store the spiritual stone mine inside.
"Who''s there?"
Just then, a voice came from above!
A few Military Marquis Realm guys were standing above us, staring down!
