Chapter 983: Chapter 1007: Infuriating the Guard
Chu Linfeng glanced at the cave the three were excavating; it was already several meters wide and dozens of meters long, achieved in under three short months. The workload was truly staggering.
However, there were no more Immortal Stones appearing on the ground, perhaps placed into Lin Ruoxi’s Storage Ring. After Chu Linfeng appeared, the three stopped digging, transformed into human form, and walked towards him.
"Lin Feng, mining these Immortal Stones is indeed a great way to enhance strength. I’ve already reached the Late-stage Immortal Realm, and I believe in just another month I can break through to the Earth Immortal level. I never expected there to be so many Immortal Stones in this mine. Excluding the stones we’ve absorbed, we now have over two thousand Low-Grade Immortal Stones and more than three hundred Middle-Grade Immortal Stones, but none of Upper Grade, as we’ve absorbed them all," Lin Ruoxi said with a smile.
"No worries, there are plenty more Immortal Stones here. It’s best to enhance our realms, but the Mental Realm must also improve to avoid the risk of Qigong Deviation. In two days, I’ll be submitting the Immortal Stones; you should stop mining. Xiaoying and Old Jin, return to my body. I’m worried that after handing over the stones, someone might cause trouble for me, and if you get discovered, it could be a big problem.
Xiaoying and the Golden Demon Vulture seemed a bit reluctant, both staring directly at Chu Linfeng. "Don’t worry, once this matter is over, I’ll definitely let you out again. I’ll still rely on you to mine Immortal Stones then," he said.
The two emitted red and gold lights before disappearing from sight. Lin Ruoxi looked at Chu Linfeng and said, "Lin Feng, they’re gone, so what about me? I can’t enter your body."
"No rush, I’m still slightly lacking in strength. If I can breakthrough to the Golden Immortal Realm, I can send you into the Reincarnation Bracelet, which is a Sacred Land for cultivation. One year outside in the Reincarnation Bracelet is equivalent to a hundred years, and the Immortal Spirit Qi is plentiful — you’ll see soon," Chu Linfeng said with a smile.
"By the way, how is the Purple Demon Thunder Fox doing now? You better not miss the timing again. Last time, I thought I’d die in your Storage Ring, but I survived. Don’t make such mistakes again," Lin Ruoxi reminded.
It’s easy for Chu Linfeng to take a Magic Beast Egg into the Reincarnation Bracelet, but bringing Lin Ruoxi is more complicated. Of course, he can freely enter it himself. After obtaining a large number of Immortal Stones, he plans to go into seclusion for a while to rapidly advance his strength. In the Immortal Realm, one cannot survive without sufficient power.
"I intend to place Xiao Xiao into the Reincarnation Bracelet first; even if she wakes up, she can survive and cultivate inside. Without delay, I’ll transfer everything from the Storage Ring into the Reincarnation Bracelet now.
My Reincarnation Bracelet is bound to me by contract; no one else can take anything out, and its ordinary appearance won’t arouse suspicion. So, I’ll transfer all valuable items into it," Chu Linfeng decided.
Chu Linfeng then put a large number of Immortal Stones, some precious herbs, the Five Elements Fruit, and the Elder of Skill Transmission’s Storage Ring into the Reincarnation Bracelet, leaving only simple things in the Storage Ring. Even if someone obtained it, it wouldn’t matter. Most importantly, he placed the Magic Beast Egg turned Purple Demon Thunder Fox inside, while communicating with the Ice and Snow Fairy via Divine Sense to take good care of it.
The Ice and Snow Fairy was astounded by the sudden influx of items, especially the terrifying Immortal Spirit Qi, which was incredulous to her. Having lived for thousands of years in the Immortal Realm, she’d never encountered such formidable Immortal Spirit Qi. With it, her recovery would be much easier.
Before she could inquire further, Chu Linfeng withdrew his Divine Sense. He didn’t want excessive interaction with this cold-as-ice woman; although he had a slight interest, now wasn’t the right time. Perhaps, when his strength becomes overwhelming, he might consider it.
"Lin Feng, we’ve reached the Immortal Realm now. What’s your plan? The Immortal Realm is also a place of survival of the fittest, so we must be vigilant and have a plan," Lin Ruoxi stated.
"Ruoxi, I’m well aware. After I break through to the Golden Immortal level, I’ll go into seclusion and let you enter the Reincarnation Bracelet to train. When our strengths are formidable, I’ll send you to the Phoenix Race in the Immortal Realm to further enhance your power. As for me, I need to find Yueyan; I’ve made her a promise, which I must fulfill," Chu Linfeng said resolutely, his determined expression captivating Lin Ruoxi.
Having reached the Late-stage Celestial Immortal, absorbing Yin Qi to breakthrough energy doesn’t significantly benefit Chu Linfeng anymore. Yet, the two engaged in a bout in the mine that shook heaven and earth, obscuring sun and moon. Ultimately, Lin Ruoxi was naturally defeated.
Two days flew by quickly. Chu Linfeng prepared sixty Low-Grade Immortal Stones and three Middle-Grade Immortal Stones and headed out early from the mine. He deliberately prepared this many stones to tempt the guard’s greed, to see if he’d enter the mine, thereby allowing Chu Linfeng to test the defense power of Earth Transformation Second Layer.
The same middle-aged man and guard appeared again. Chu Linfeng approached them, saying, "I’ve had good harvest these three months, acquiring sixty Low-Grade Immortal Stones and three Middle-Grade Immortal Stones. Isn’t the task considered over-completed?"
The guard looked at Chu Linfeng, astonished, asking, "How could you mine so many stones? How did you manage that?"
"That’s a secret — my own secret, which you needn’t know," Chu Linfeng replied, smiling. It seemed this guy was already tempted by greed, showing interest in mining Immortal Stones. If Chu Linfeng guessed correctly, he might send some people into the mine to dig, which would complicate his plans.
"Bold! How dare you speak to me like this — do you no longer wish to live?" The guard became angry, thinking if there’s a chance to eliminate this kid, sending a few trusted individuals into the mine would assure ample extracts. This kid alone could match the output of three people; old hands would yield hundreds at least.
"Even the Mine Master hasn’t spoken, what makes you so arrogant? A mere guard thinks he’s impressive? I haven’t even regarded you," Chu Linfeng said disdainfully, provoking the guard’s wrath.
"Little brat, you’re too arrogant. Having mined merely a few Immortal Stones, you dared disrespect me. Today you need a lesson to understand my power," the guard declared, preparing to attack Chu Linfeng.
But the middle-aged man interjected, "Cold Blade, hold your hand; you’re no match for him..."
